Chapter 649: It's dark under the lights
The poisonous butterfly immediately turned off the flashlight, and the water dragon ball emitted a faint light.
Because the flashlight is so bright, it is simply a live target in a dark environment.
My pupils adjusted to the moment and I regained my vision, and after opening my eyes, my night vision ability improved a lot. As long as there is no light at all, you can see quite far.
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed past in the distance, and I even felt a noticeable change in water pressure.
I was startled, and the poisonous butterfly instinctively grabbed me.
This thing is so big, and the energy fluctuations are also very strong against the current, and we are likely to suffer a big loss once we fight.
But luckily, the thing didn't notice us and just disappeared upstream.
There are generally two kinds of dangers in the Dark River, one is the obscure dirty thing, and the other is the native Yin Water Beast.
The latter has been living in the dark, insensitive to light, or even completely devoid of vision. The former one is more troublesome, dirty things are sensitive to yang energy, and it is easy to be targeted by them, and the one just now should be the yin beast.
After a while, nothing out of the ordinary, I secretly breathed a sigh of relief and avoided it.
It's just that the road ahead is vast, and I don't know when it will end.
"Such a big dark river, although dangerous, must lead to big rivers and lakes, and even the ocean, as long as you persist until the end, you will definitely see the light of day." The poisonous butterfly said to me.
I nodded thoughtfully, such a large dark river aorta can't accommodate it in ordinary places, only the big lake and the sea.
It is unlikely that there will be two rivers in the Eastern Earth World, one is the Yangtze River and the other is the Yellow River, and their water volume is probably not as good as this dark river. The only possibility is that there should be some big lake or sea.
Thinking about this, I began to look forward to it.
"Ma Chun, there is light behind you." It didn't take long for the poisonous butterfly to look in the direction behind me and whisper to me.
As soon as I heard that I thought it was an exit, I couldn't help but be overjoyed, and immediately turned to the side.
But when I saw it clearly, I couldn't help but be a little disappointed, it was not the light of the sky, but a little hazy colorful light, a little far away.
"What's that?" I asked, confused, the light was a rainbow of colors, hazy, but dazzling.
The poisonous butterfly shook his head slightly, and whispered, "I don't know, whether anyone will be washed into the dark river like us, right?" ”
"It's very unlikely." I directly denied it and said, "Leave it alone, put away the Night Pearl." "Whatever it is over there, let it be a light bulb if it can shine, it's safer for us to hide.
Inside the dark river, the environment is complicated, so it's best not to be too curious.
Poison Butterfly snorted and put the Night Pearl in her pocket.
The surroundings suddenly darkened, and only the light point in front of the side emitted a faint light, illuminating very far away, and the line of sight was not a problem.
After walking for a while, I immediately realized that something was wrong, the light source was also moving downstream like us, and for some unknown reason, the distance between it and it was shrinking little by little.
The poisonous butterfly also found out and threw me a cautious expression.
I nodded, needless to say, the things that went down the river were not alive, maybe some special species that could emit light.
Gradually, when the thing came into view, we realized that it was a round glowing thing, hovering quietly in the water, floating downstream with us.
"Could it be a treasure that rushed out of nowhere?" Poison Butterfly said suspiciously.
I was also confused, the thing was indeed lonely, there was nothing else around, with the current sinking up and down, the treasure was dense, like a treasure.
Being in Qimen, I have naturally heard a lot of treasures, saying that some treasures are born and raised, and they will only appear in inaccessible places, which are very precious and can be met but not sought.
Some can even be used to craft incredible items, with amazing abilities.
When the poisonous butterfly said this, a trace of eagerness rose in my heart. If it's really a treasure of heaven and earth, it would be great, maybe it's really the dark river water washed out from the depths of the soil.
The Dark River is a vast network, but it is not static, but constantly migrates as the leylines change. It is not impossible for the watercourse to change and wash something out of the depths of the ground.
Thinking of this, I gently tugged the river towards that side, wanting to find out.
But I had just approached less than two feet, and there was a sudden "whoosh" not far away, and a black shadow flashed.
I immediately stopped my movements, and when I looked at the light source, I saw that it was a yin water beast with a head similar to that of a shark, covered in scale armor.
It didn't notice us, and was circling around the light source, staring at the ball of light with us.
I didn't dare to move, I could only watch.
After a few laps, it cautiously leaned towards the light source.
Ten Zhang...... Wuzhang ...... Closer, closer.
"Buzz!" The ball of light suddenly lit up with a bolt of lightning and struck the shark water beast with lightning speed.
The water beast didn't have time to react at all, and passed out with its stomach tumbling.
Immediately after, two transparent claws stretched out from the darkness in the distance, clamping the shark water beast and carrying it away from the ball of light.
At this time, the ball of light shone brightly, illuminating the darkness.
My back is numb when I look at it!!
It was a huge mantis-like behemoth, ten feet long, and transparent, as if it had been carved out of crystal.
Its mouth was full of fangs, its eyes bulging and white, and as soon as the shark water beast put it in its mouth, it chewed twice and swallowed it.
I even saw the tattered body of the water beast enter its stomach, which was particularly oozing.
And the so-called lonely ball of light was not actually alone, but was connected to the head of this ghostly thing, through a slender silk-like thing. The reason why I can see it is because when the light bead is bright, the connected thing also shines together.
The poisonous butterfly and I were cold, it was too dangerous, this ghost thing turned out to be transparent, no wonder I didn't notice it before.
If it weren't for the shark water beast that made us a substitute for the dead ghost first, then it would be us who was chewed and swallowed just now.
The lightning was too fast and so fierce that there was no time to react, and even if it did, it would be impossible to escape in the water as well as on the ground.
The poisonous butterfly and I didn't dare to breathe for fear of being discovered.
But the thing probably didn't notice us, and gradually the light beads dimmed, and the body was hidden, leaving only the light beads flickering slightly, emitting dazzling colorful light, floating downstream with us.
After a long time of silence, I breathed a sigh of relief and asked in a low voice, "What the hell is this thing?" ”
"I don't know, I've never heard of it."
The poisonous butterfly shook its head slightly, groaned for a while, and said, "But we should be safer if we stay next to it." ”
I was stunned for a moment, and then reacted violently.
That's right, it's called dark under the lights!
With this thing to attract the attention of those dangerous things, it is easy for us to ignore the next ones, and the light emitted can also illuminate us. Like a candle is easy to spot in the dark, but if it's lit next to a huge campfire, it's inconspicuous.
Moreover, natural selection, the structure of the entire body of this thing is to set traps to ambush prey, and at the corresponding price, it is definitely not good at taking the initiative to attack and prey.
As long as we don't come close, we should be safe.
So, I immediately moved the current a little further away to prevent the prey it was attracted to from colliding with as it cruised.
After drifting for more than an hour, a second unlucky egg appeared, a large snakefish-like thing, which was also chewed and swallowed by it.
……
In this way, we were "guarded" by this big guy whose name we didn't know, and drifted all the way downstream.
Poison Butterfly is right, there is such an eye-catching target, all the Yin Water Beasts are attracted to it, either they are keenly aware of what is scared and run away without turning back, or they are curious about the baby leaning on and being swallowed by Corona.
From time to time, Yin Water Beasts passed by, but they didn't notice us. As for those dirty things, they were probably frightened by the positive energy contained in the terrifying lightning and didn't dare to show up.
In this way, we were much safer, and we drifted all the way downstream; It's just that I don't know when the end will be.
