Chapter 1226: Black Water Pool
Reunited with the others, Guixia Zhenren also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "We met an eighth-order wasteland demon rat halfway, and after a hard battle, we drove away the wasteland demon rat, and it took a lot of time to delay, Ghost He Zhenren, why are there only three of you?" What about the others? ”
Listening to Ghost Xia's question, Ghost He Zhenren sighed and said: "The other two Daoists were killed, the five of us stayed behind, in order to buy you more time, the five of us were entangled with the group of wasteland demon vultures for half an hour, and the ghost jackal Daoist friend and the ghost fox Taoist friend were injured during this period, and when they escaped, they fell behind and were surrounded by the wasteland demon vultures." ”
The ghost wolf real person also said: "Yes, if it weren't for the two of them who attracted most of the wasteland vultures, I'm afraid it would be difficult for us to escape smoothly, the scene at that time was too miserable, I watched the two of them be divided by the wasteland vultures, and they were pecked little by little, leaving nothing behind." ”
Listening to the words of the ghost wolf real person, everyone seemed to be able to remember how tragic the scene was at that time, and the ghost Xia real person said gloomily: "The ghost jackal Daoyou and others sacrificed for the sake of the family, and I will definitely tell my father about this matter after I go back, so that he can treat the descendants left by several Taoist friends kindly." ”
These people are the guards of the family behind the ghost Xia Zhenren, and it is their mission to sacrifice for the interests of the family, sooner or later there will be such a catastrophe, people can't be resurrected after death, and then they are entangled in those who are useless, and treating the living people well is the most important thing to do, and what Guixia Zhenren said is quite useful.
However, there were only six of the nine people who came, and there were only six left after half a month, and the casualty rate was too high.
Seeing that everyone's mood was relatively low, Ghost He Zhenren said: "This ruin is very large, but we don't need to explore all this ruins, the place where the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus grows is in the depths of this oasis, and it is not very far from us, which means that we will be able to complete the task soon." ”
Nine Sons Ghost Lotus is nearby? Got the job done soon? That's great, seeing that this oasis is peaceful, it seems that there is no danger at all, that is to say, the rest of the thing is alchemy, as long as the spirit and soul are refined, everyone will be able to leave this ghost place soon.
It's no wonder that the ghost He Zhenren didn't tell everyone the specific place where the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus grew at the beginning, it turned out that it was so easy to find after entering the ruins, if they were informed in advance, maybe it was really possible to leak the news, and it would not be good to be preempted by others.
With the words of the ghost He Zhenren, everyone suddenly felt a lot more relaxed, and it was still early to calculate the time before the Jiuzi Ghost Lotus matured, and it happened that the three of them had just arrived here, and they had not had time to rest after a vicious battle before, so everyone simply stopped here.
The six of them have been resting here for three days, and all of them have adjusted to the best condition, and the injuries suffered by the ghost eagle real person have also healed, although the hair has not yet grown, the scalp has recovered, and even the ghost wolf real person who limped before can walk freely.
Then the ghost He Zhenren led everyone towards the depths of the oasis, maybe the demon beasts that should be encountered in this ruins have been encountered, or maybe this place is not suitable for the life of the demon beasts in the sand dunes, in short, in the following period of time, they have not encountered any danger again.
The first part of the journey was relatively flat, but gradually they entered the confines of the swamp, and the ground gradually became difficult to walk, and the large areas of mud were covered by the shallow water, and they could not tell where to put their feet, and if they stepped on a random step, they could sink the whole person into it.
However, for them Jindan monks, such a path is not difficult to follow, just because of the existence of a large amount of tyrannical qi in the air, they need to constantly operate the Immortal Yuan to fight against it, and it will be a little more troublesome to encounter such a swamp again.
The place where the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus grew didn't seem to be in the middle of the lake, and after coming to the swamp range, Ghost He Zhenren led everyone to continue along the surrounding swamp, and observed the surrounding situation as he walked. Ghost He Zhenren has never entered this ruin before, but according to the introduction of Yumu Zhenjun, he knows a general direction of the situation inside, so if you want to find the specific location of the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus, you also need to slowly look for it against the surrounding terrain, but there are swamps everywhere nearby, and the terrain is almost identical, and it is particularly difficult to find the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus.
As a result, the speed of the march was even slower, and it was only a few hundred miles in a day, until on the morning of the third day, when they came to a very different place.
It's still a swamp, but there are many round reefs in size that are several feet above the water, and you can temporarily settle down, like chess pieces on a chessboard. Another difference is that the surface of the water here is black, and although it is connected to the other water surfaces, the two sides are distinct, as if they are thought to be separated.
Seeing such a difference from other places, a hint of joy suddenly appeared on the face of the ghost He Zhenren, and then his body jumped into the air, looked around, and said in surprise: "It's here, it's here, the nine sons of the ghost lotus that the master said grows in this location." ”
Guixia Zhenren asked, "Is the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus really here?" ”
Ghost He Zhenren: "Yes, before I came, the master told me again and again, after entering the ruins, I walked in this direction, crossed a large desert, and then came to an oasis, and then continued along the swamp in the oasis, and after a thousand miles, I will encounter a black water pool that looks like a chessboard, and the nine ghost lotus is in the depths of the black water pool. ”
"But I don't think there's anything peculiar here." Onixia is really humane.
Ghost He Zhenren explained: "This is the difference between the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus, different from other lotus roots, the biggest feature of this Nine Sons Ghost Lotus is that it grows underwater, the entire black water pool is almost dozens of miles in size, the middle position is the deepest, and the depth is at least dozens of zhang, the Nine Son Ghost Lotus grows there, we need to dive into the depths of the black water pool to find it." ”
"The Nine Sons Ghost Lotus is so deep, how did the Ancestor find out?" The ghost sparrow is really puzzled.
Ghost He is really humane: "This is very simple, now the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus is not yet mature, so you can't see anything abnormal outside, once the Nine Sons Ghost Lotus is mature, it will release a sky-high black gas, and it will rush directly out of the water, and by then you can see it within a radius of dozens of miles, and you can't hide it if you want to." At the beginning, the ancestor happened to come here and found the Nine Son Ghost Lotus that was about to mature, but he didn't know much about the Nine Son Ghost Lotus, he only knew that this thing must be used as soon as possible after it matured, and he couldn't bear to see the Nine Son Ghost Lotus wither and rot, so he picked the lotus seeds and replanted them in the same place. ”
