Chapter 259 - Cause and Effect (3)
"Hmph, wait for someone, don't make some high-sounding excuses for your lazy behavior!" Hong Shiyan was ridiculed by the two girls just now, and now seeing that the two of them were still snickering, he glared at them very angrily, got up and walked towards the entrance of the next floor of the Impermanence Underground Palace.
"Eh, big stone, why did you leave by yourself, aren't you afraid of corpse poison or something?" Hong Jiu'er saw that Hong Shiyan was so angry that he got up and left, so he smiled and shouted at his back again.
Hong Shiyan, who was still angry, didn't pay attention to Hong Jiu'er's words at all, and continued to walk forward with his head in a huff, and kicked a tattered upside-down bowl on the side of the road, and only reacted after kicking, stopped and was curiously thinking about how there could be such a big broken bowl here, but the big wrist with a gap on the edge suddenly flipped over, and at the same time let out a scream similar to that of an old manγ
"Oh my god! the bowl...... The broken bowl is alive! And it'...... It's still chasing me, come and help!" Hong Shiyan shouted in horror as he ran back to Hong Jiu'er and Chi Mudie at a fast speed, and pushed the two in front of him in fear.
Hong Jiu'er and Chi Mudie were full of helplessness, and turned their heads to look at Hong Shiyan, who was much taller than them even if he shrank behind them, Chi Mudie laughed, and turned his head to ask Hong Jiu'er: "Sister Jiu'er, what a terrible story did this big guy listen to those storytellers?"
"I don't know, anyway, I've never been with him to listen to the nonsense of those storytellers. Hong Jiu'er helplessly spread her hands to Chi Mudie, walked to the big bowl that was turned over just now, and after glancing at it casually, she couldn't help laughing.
"Big rock, open your eyes and come and see, what's so terrible about this thing? And people have been staying here, when did they chase you?"
After listening to Hong Jiu'er's words, Hong Shiyan raised his head from behind Chi Mudie tremblingly, glanced in the direction of Hong Jiu'er, and found that she was resting on the tattered big bowl with one hand, and there was something with an old man's face sitting in the bowl.
The strange thing saw that Hong Shiyan, who was scared away by it just now, was looking up in its direction, and let out another scream, which frightened Hong Shiyan's whole body and shrank again, and the thing saw Hong Shiyan's reaction, and also shook the big bowl it was sitting on, and let out a giggle.
Seeing that even this monster was laughing at himself, Hong Shiyan immediately picked up an emerald green stone angrily and threw it at the monster, but the monster easily stretched out a wrinkled strange hand to take the stone, put it in his mouth and chewed it, Hong Shiyan, who saw this scene, instantly changed his face again, and pointed to the monster in the distance, but he didn't say anything for a long time.
"It's it...... It chewed up the rock and ate it? Oh my God, what a hard tooth! It ...... It won't pounce and bite after eating the stone, right?" Hong Shiyan hid behind Chi Mudie, and finally held back such a sentence for a long time, Chi Mudie and Hong Jiu'er both resisted the urge to burst into laughter, Hong Jiu'er even joked to Hong Shiyan and said, "We don't care, but you have to be careful with the big stones, didn't you hear Fluttershy just say that these things are mineral-eating beasts? Maybe they're tired of eating the stones here, and they want to nibble on your new stone to try it!"
As soon as Hong Jiu'er's words fell, the Meng Po soup bowl in front of her let out another giggle, and then shook its tattered bowl and fled quickly towards the depths of the underground palace. Seeing that this strange thing finally escaped, Hong Shiyan just breathed a sigh of relief, but saw Chi Mudie look at the hole they had just fallen into, and said with a calm face: "It's here." β
"Ah? here? still coming? What is it this time? zombie or strange bowl?" Hong Shiyan, who was already frightened, saw Chi Mudie say this, and immediately shrank behind her, and her voice was frightened and changed, even Hong Jiu'er felt embarrassed and walked to Hong Shiyan's side, stretched out her hand and slapped Hong Shiyan's thigh helplessly.
"I said big rocks, are you really afraid of anything? Can you open your eyes first and then be afraid? It's Canglan here, Canglan!"
"Cang...... What kind of weirdness is Canglan...... Huh, isn't it, Cang Lan?" Hong Shiyan hid behind Chi Mudie, and this time he didn't even dare to raise his head, so he asked in a trembling voice, but he felt that something was wrong in the middle of his words, so he reacted, and immediately raised his head excitedly as if he had seen a savior, just in time to see Cang Lan, who was dressed in white, jumping down from above the entrance of the cave.
"Canglan, why did you come? Why are there a bunch of zombie monsters in your dungeon on Yingzhou Island, which freaks us out!"
Hong Shiyan complained as soon as he saw Cang Lan, but Cang Lan didn't know why he moved his gaze to Chi Mudie and Hong Jiu'er, who were snickering, and asked in a slightly surprised voice: "Zombie Monster Bowl? What's the matter? Are the jumping corpses and Meng Po soup bowls here also affected by the demonic qi and have changed? But even if those things mutate, they shouldn't be so tricky, right?"
"Ignore him, he's the only one who is about to pee, and the demonic energy erosion here isn't that bad, Fluttershy and I have already purified the disgusting slime that Yin Mo left behind. β
Hong Jiu'er explained to Cang Lan while spreading her hands to him helplessly, Chi Mudie saw Hong Shiyan staring at them fiercely with a gloomy face, so she had to hide her smile, coughed lightly and continued: "Okay, since Canglan, who is most familiar with this place, has come, we don't have to be afraid of any zombies anymore, hurry up and go down to find Yin Mo, don't let him harm the innocent people in other places, and come to harm the impermanence ghost king here, or the streamer gold ribbon that our wing clan will use in the future will be nowhere to be found." β
After Chi Mudie finished speaking, she looked at Hong Jiu'er again, and both of them couldn't help but snicker, Hong Shiyan finally reacted at this time, and shouted at Chi Mudie: "Eh, no, you little girl has been here before, and you just deliberately scared me...... How can you be so unkind?"
Chi Mudie also said to him innocently: "I told you just now that I have been here, but you didn't react yourself." I also kindly told you that all the people who live in this dungeon are some mineral-eating beasts, but you are still scared like that, can you blame me?"
After Chi Mudie finished speaking, she turned around and walked towards the depths of the dungeon with Hong Jiu'er, seeing that the two girls were still laughing while walking, Cang Lan could only glance at Hong Shiyan with an embarrassed face in surprise, and kindly added to him: "The jumping corpses and Meng Po soup bowls on the first and second floors of this dungeon are indeed mineral-eating beasts, and they will not pose any threat to us, but the clawed fierce ghosts and two-headed ghost servants on the third and fourth floors may be relatively troublesome." β
Cang Lan and Hong Shiyan spoke, and also walked to the depths of the underground palace together, Hong Shiyan listened to the first half of his sentence, and nodded a little reassuringly, but when he heard the second half of the sentence, he reacted, and immediately widened his eyes and asked in horror: "Wait! What is the relative trouble? What kind of ......trouble method is it?"
As soon as Hong Shiyan's words came to this, a muffled roar of a huge beast came from the depths of the dungeon, and Cang Lan's face immediately changed, and he said in a deep voice to everyone: "Oh no! It seems that Yin Mo has come into contact with the Impermanent Ghost King, we have to hurry up and go down to the fifth layer of the dungeon." β
Chi Mudie and Hong Jiu'er listened to Cang Lan's words, and immediately sank down, and after nodding solemnly, they followed Cang Lan all the way to the depths of the underground palace, and Hong Shiyan, who was running at the end, only heard Cang Lan say half of what he said just now, and now he looked at the surroundings and became darker and darker, only a few stones that emitted green fluorescence appeared sporadically on the walls of the underground palace, and the little light illuminated by them, and his heart became more and more afraid.
The four of them didn't know how long they had been running in the winding dungeon, Hong Shiyan saw the three people in front of them suddenly stop, so he stopped behind them for some reason, because he didn't dare to raise his eyes to see the situation in front of him, Hong Shiyan could only ask boldly: "What's wrong?"
Seeing that the three of them didn't answer for a long time, Hong Shiyan could only glance forward in fright, and saw that many things like withered vines were densely blocking their way forward, and seeing that the three of them didn't try to get rid of these withered vines, but instead squatted down to check something on the ground, Hong Shiyan just wanted to ask again, and heard Canglan open his mouth seriously.
"I'm afraid these are not only traces of demonic qi infection, but also mixed with a strong smell of blood, I'm afraid that Yin Mo's body can no longer withstand the erosion of demonic qi, and it has begun to mutate violently. β
After listening to Cang Lan's words, Chi Mudie on the side also nodded solemnly and added: "I remember that my brother said that the last time he found Youlan who was injured by Yin Mo, he had heard her say that Yin Mo claimed to have killed and swallowed the water demon. But we all think that this is impossible, even if it is an extremely weak water demon, it is impossible to be swallowed so easily by a person like Yin Mo, this is probably just a trap set by the water demon for Yin Mo. β
"Trap?" Listening to Chi Mudie's words, Hong Jiu'er asked incomprehensibly: "But hasn't Yin Mo always been a subordinate of the Water Demon, why did he set such a trap for Yin Mo?"
"Because Yin Mo is too greedy. After Chi Mudie and Cang Lan replied in unison, they looked at each other and smiled, and continued to explain: "Yin Mo should have attacked the Water Demon when he was extremely weak, coveting his strength, so the Water Demon deliberately made him think that he had been swallowed by him in order to punish Yin Mo's betrayal, and used the demonic qi that he swallowed into his body to erode his body more violently, and finally made his life worse than death." β
