Chapter 112 - Water Demon Seal (3)
On the way from the Phantom Sea Secret Realm to the Demon Suppression Cave, you must pass through a trench that does not penetrate any light, the Endless Abyss, and in front of this extremely dark road, there is a gentle area covered with all kinds of beautiful corals and all kinds of shells, but the people in this group have no time to enjoy this beautiful scenery, and they are completely focused on hurrying.
However, even if a few people arrived at the Endless Abyss in such a hurry, it was already early in the morning of the next day, and the bottom of the sea, which had not shone much light during the day, was even darker at the moment, and everyone could only rely on the faint light of Canglan and the tip of the Returning Sea Snow Staff, and cautiously groped their way forward.
Although the Endless Abyss is hundreds of miles long, it is like a ray of heaven in the canyon, and the narrowest part only allows one person to pass sideways, but the group didn't know anything about it at first, and they all rode their respective mounts into the trench, but after walking a distance into the Endless Abyss, they overheard Lin Mumu, who was walking at the end, shouting.
"Eh, wait for me first, my little bullet seems to be stuck in the stone wall! uh...... I'm sorry, I didn't mean to scare you, it's too dark around here, and I'm scared too......"
Lin Mumu's sudden shout startled the few people who were in front of her who were highly focused on exploring the road ahead, and turned around one after another, and found that Lin Mumu was talking while pushing the stuck shrimp girl backwards, but the more the shrimp girl struggled, the tighter she was stuck.
Cang Lan, who was walking at the front of the team, stopped, turned over and got off the Ice Spirit Tiger, and threw a illuminated ball of light forward, after carefully observing the terrain in front of him, he was about to turn his head to explain the situation to the people behind him, but he heard Chi Mudie beside him let out a curious question.
"Cang Lan, have you been to the Demon Suppression Cave before, have we been walking for so long, are we about to arrive at the Demon Suppression Cave?"
Cang Lan shook her head and replied: "Although I have been to the Demon Suppression Cave before, I didn't go there from this road, so I don't know how far this place is from the Demon Suppression Cave, but I vaguely remember that outside the Demon Suppression Cave, it should be an open submarine plain." And the trench we are walking on now seems to be the place where those white tentacles want us to pass, and I think there is some secret hidden in it. ”
After listening to Cang Lan's words, Chi Mudie also lowered her head and thought for a moment, then walked a few steps towards the depths of the trench, stopped not far away and closed her eyes and listened attentively.
Who knew that after listening to Chi Mudie for a while, she couldn't help frowning suspiciously, turned around and shook her head at everyone with an incredible face: "This trench is so strange, I didn't hear any sound from it, and we have walked so far, and we haven't even seen a single fish or shrimp on the way." ”
At this time, Lin Mumu also nodded in agreement: "Yes, I noticed this matter from just now, but I never dared to bother you to explore the way ahead, and since I entered this pitch-black trench, my little bullet has always been so panicked, and it will be stuck in the middle of the stone walls on both sides like now." ”
When Lin Mumu said this, he pushed the stuck shrimp girl twice harder, but it still couldn't move, and Lin Mumu could only complain helplessly and took it back into the spirit summoning stone.
"Who made you eat so much!
"The road ahead seems to be getting narrower and narrower, and it will be very inconvenient for large spirit beasts to move, so it seems that we have to move forward on foot, and in case we encounter something hostile to us, it is not easy to deal with it, so we should all put away our mounts. ”
Cang Lan said, and took his Ice Spirit Tiger back into the Spirit Summoning Stone, and the rest of the people followed suit, and after all the spirit beasts were taken back, the pitch-black space around them seemed even more empty and gloomy, making people feel a little chilled.
So everyone gathered together and continued on their way, and in this dark trench that even time seemed to swallow up, I don't know how long they walked, and the narrowest part of the road was that only one person could pass sideways.
The time of walking in the darkness lasted for an unknown amount of time, and it was not until everyone's bodies were tired that they finally saw the exit of this pitch-black trench in an exclamation from the sand boy.
"Look, there's light ahead! Are we finally coming out?"
A few people who were originally so tired that they only cared about walking with their heads down, after hearing Sha Xiaoliang's exclamation, they instantly came to their senses, and suddenly looked up at the direction that Sha Xiaoliang stretched out his hand to point out, and found that not far ahead did begin to become open, and a trace of green fluorescence faintly illuminated. However, just as everyone wanted to walk quickly to the exit in front of them, they were stopped by Canglan a few feet away from the exit.
"Wait, something isn't right, you see, what's going on with that green light?"
However, just as Cang Lan spoke, the green fluorescence suddenly moved quickly towards the direction where everyone was, and everyone looked at the fluorescence together, and found that it was actually a strange fish with a glowing tentacle on the top of its head and a mouth full of sharp fangs, and it was obviously Cang Lan's words just now that had alarmed it, and it also angrily pounced towards the direction where the sound came from.
The strange fish used its huge body with the strength of swimming and diving, hitting the gaps in the stone wall again and again, and the most surprising thing was that its head was actually harder than the rock walls on both sides of the endless abyss, and it actually smashed the stone walls into small pieces, and rolled down from the rock walls on both sides.
Although the falling gravel was affected by the resistance brought by the sea and fell slowly, some large pieces of rubble would still hurt people if they fell on people's bodies, so everyone avoided dodging and knocked some gravel that could not be dodged in the narrow space to the side with their weapons.
But in this way, it was very physically exhausting, and the strange fish outside were still hitting the stone wall, and it didn't take long for the stone walls on both sides to crash inward.
Seeing that the angry strange fish still had no intention of stopping, Guihai Luoxue couldn't help but knock on the rock that smashed at him, and asked anxiously: "Is there no way to subdue this strange fish? If we continue like this, we will all have to run out of physical strength here before we reach our destination! If we encounter any trouble after passing here, won't we be able to deal with it?"
"I heard Chi Muyan say before that this is a strange fish with a violent temperament that lives in the deep sea near the Endless Abyss, and it is said that its skull is the raw material that can make the hardest armor, and it swims extremely fast...... I remember Chi Muyan said that this fish has only one weak part on its body, where does it come from?"
Cang Lan frowned and explained in a whisper, dodging the falling rubble, thinking about the solution, and suddenly saw a red stone on the ground that was hit by a strange fish, and finally remembered Chi Muyan's words.
Chi Muyan said that this strange fish has a piece of skin on its body that is different from the color of other parts, and that is its weak point, but because each fish has a different skin growth position, it is difficult to be found, so everyone hurry up and carefully find out which piece of skin on its body is different in color from other parts. ”
Chi Mudie and Guihai Luoxue, who were close to the exit, listened to Canglan's explanation, and immediately avoided the rubble while carefully observing every inch of skin on this strange fish, and finally found a piece of skin as bright red as a ruby under the fin on its left.
"Found it! Under the fin on its left, but how do we approach it now?" Guihai Luoxue, who has always had good eyes, was the first to notice the weakness of the strange fish, and pointed in that direction in surprise, and asked.
Cang Lan thought for a moment, took out a gem with a bright red light from his spirit wrap, placed the gem on the tip of his staff, and turned his head to look at Chi Mudie beside him.
"I'll use a fire spell to get its attention, Fluttershy, and then take the opportunity to stealthily approach it, stab it into its red skin with your dagger, and then quickly dodge, be careful not to look directly at its eyes, this fish has very poor eyesight, as long as you don't look at it, it can't see you at all. ”
However, just as Chi Mudie nodded and was about to act, he was suddenly stopped by a hand.
"No, it's too dangerous, so I'd better go. It was Guihai Shiruo who stopped Chi Mudie, and after seeing him stop in front of Chi Mudie, he frowned at Canglan who made such a decision, and complained to him, "How can you let Fluttershy do such a dangerous thing!"
Cang Lan couldn't help frowning and retorting in the face of his inexplicable complaints: "Now in our group, only Fluttershy moves the fastest, she does it, not only can quickly deal with that strange fish, but also avoid other people from being injured to the greatest extent, there should still be some distance from the Demon Suppression Cave, I don't know what other beasts will be encountered on the road, if there are injured people here, how to deal with the danger on the road in the future?" My decision was deliberate, and I believe it was a no-brainer for Fluttershy. ”
When he returned to the sea, Ruo's face was slightly angry, and he just wanted to open his mouth to continue refutating, but he was stopped by Chi Mudie, who shook his head lightly at him and smiled lightly: "Shi Ruo, don't argue with Canglan, I think he is right, my main profession is originally an assassin, this is my specialty, we have been tortured by the president's devilish training for so long together, and now it is just to deal with a strange fish, I can handle it myself, and I will not be hurt." Canglan also asked me to do it because she trusted me and had such strength, so you should believe in me too. ”
Chi Mudie's words, if he couldn't refute it again when he returned to the sea, he could only sigh helplessly, nodded and instructed: "It's not that I don't trust you, I'm just worried about you, I'm afraid that you will be injured by this strange fish." Then you have to be careful when you go by yourself. ”
Chi Mudie smiled and nodded, ready for the battle, and Cang Lan also carefully added the strongest defensive spell screen to her, and then instructed again: "Fluttershy, after you stab the short blade into its weak point, you must immediately withdraw to the gap in the stone wall where we are, and you must not fall in love with the battle." ”
