Chapter Seven: The River of Refining Corpses (I)

"It's open...", with a 'creaking' sound, the huge door slowly opened. There was irrepressible excitement on everyone's faces. The dazzling light shone in an instant, and everyone raised their hands to protect their eyes, and then they felt their heads dizzy, and they had disappeared in place.

'Squeak...'

The heavy door began to close again. The group of meditators has long since disappeared...

"What's going on?" muttered to himself.

"Huh, everyone!" Nalan whispered. Everyone opened their eyes one after another and looked around.

This is a barren and gloomy world, with dark red sky, black rivers, low and sharp mountains, and dark red auspicious clouds floating in the sky. And the most depressing thing is the blood-colored waning moon, bloody, cold, and bloodthirsty. That's the only thought that comes to everyone's mind.

"It seems to be a basin...", said the cultivator as he looked around and clasped his hands into fists.

"Basin?" people don't quite understand what "basin" means.

"It's surrounded by mountains and open plains in the middle, and that's what it's called a basin. The meditation monk explained.

"At this moment, where should we go?" Xuan Ling said.

"Do you want us to walk through this open field?" said Tie Xiaotian with a frown.

"I don't know..."The beeple fairy also shook her head, without prompting, and everyone was very confused.

The meditation cultivator ignored everyone and came to the black river next to him with great interest. Squat down lightly.

"Demonic energy! so much demonic energy!" Meditation Cultivator was extremely surprised. The blood power worked, like a pair of gloves, directly covering the right hand, and then the hand formed a spoon shape and scooped up a pool of black water.

'Sneer...'

"Huh? The meditation cultivator clearly felt the strong corrosive power of the black water mixed with demonic energy, and he seemed to stop flying.

"It's not a simple demonic qi! there's something wrong with this water!" the meditation cultivator immediately made a judgment.

"Meditation, what are you doing?" asked Nalan You, turning his head to look at Meditation.

"It's nothing, just curious about this black water. "Spiritual Path.

"Okay, let's discuss the route together. The fairy looked around at everyone and said softly.

"The Dawn Remnant Map only outlines the approximate coordinates of the ruins, not the layout of the ruins. Chiyou shook his head and sighed.

"We're on the edge of the basin right now, and since we don't know where to go, I think it's better to follow the black river. There may be some discoveries. Meditation said, pointing to the direction of the Black River. The direction of the Black River is exactly the middle of the basin, and the meditation feels that this river is not simple.

"I think it's doable. Yan Yu said.

"Now we can only take one step at a time. The Worm Fairy also replied.

"Let's go..."Seeing that everyone had no opinions, the meditation cultivator greeted him and walked forward first. The meditation cultivator said to Feng Gang, Yan Yu and the others who quickly approached, "Don't touch the river!"

Several people were stunned for a moment, and then they all nodded and grinned.

"Hey, why is this water black?" Chi Mei, who had just recovered, was curious when she saw the black water, and reached out to touch it.

'Sneer...'

"Ah!!" Chi Mei exclaimed, and quickly pulled out her left hand, only to see that the middle finger and ring finger of her left hand touched the black water and instantly became scorched and dry, and it was still spreading upward...

"My hand!!" Chi Mei couldn't accept it for a while. Holding his wrist with his right hand, he watched as his two fingers corroded more and more.

"What's going on?!" Chi You, who was walking in front of him, shouted in surprise, and without much hesitation, a short black knife suddenly appeared in his hand. I saw the light of the knife flash, and the two corroded fingers of the red charm had been thrown out, and the blood was soaring!

"My hand!!ah!!my hand!!!" Chi Mei only felt a pain in both fingers, and then found that the fingers had been cut off. Ten fingers connected to the heart, is the pain of broken fingers a joke?

"Eat it!" Chi You hugged the fallen Chi Mei, and a green pill the size of a dragon's eye appeared in his hand, and stuffed it into Chi Mei's mouth again and again.

The Red Charm twitched violently, her eyes bloodshot. A woman, especially a bewitching beauty. With two fingers broken, the psychological blow is even greater than the physical one.

"Chihuo, seal the bloodline of Chi Mei's left hand!" Chi You shouted.

"Okay!" Chihuo didn't hesitate, his soul power worked, and his hand turned into a sword finger and slammed it on Chi Mei's left shoulder.

"Uhh

"Brother Chiyou, let me come. Yan Yu was also frowning at the moment, a beautiful woman fell in front of her, how could she not be saved when she saw death?

"Okay! thank you!" Chiyou was not pretentious, and supported Chi Mei again and again.

Yan Yu sat down cross-legged, the green flames on his body rose, his hands formed sword fingers, and two gentle flames quickly entered the body of the red charm. At the finger of the red ghost, the green flame burned, and the wound began to heal quickly, and in less than ten minutes, it began to scab.

"Whew..."Yan Yu closed his efforts and exhaled softly.

"Brother Chiyou, my skills are still insufficient, and that's all I can do. Yan Yu smiled bitterly.

"It's ten million times better than before!Thank you, Brother Yanyu!" Chiyou said solemnly.

Feng Gang and Cheng Feng gasped when they saw this scene, and said secretly, "It's good that I didn't touch it!"

"It seems that this river must not be touched! thanks to Miss Chimei!" Tie Xiaotian said with a scared expression.

"Yes, what a benefactor we are waiting for!" The sword idiot next to him also pretended to be grateful, echoing Tie Xiaotian.

"Tie Xiaotian! Sword Idiot! Look for Death!" Chi You was furious, and he turned his hand and took out the blood-colored giant sword.

"I'm afraid you won't make it!" Tie Xiaotian wiped his hand, and a purple long sword was clenched in his hand.

"Hmph!" the sword idiot also pulled out the two long swords that were on his back. At this moment, the atmosphere was tense.

"Stop! is this the time for you to fight each other?" said the fairy who ran between the three of them, raising her hand.

"That's right! If you want to kill the ruins, no one will stop you! Now be honest with me. The meditation cultivator also frowned and shouted angrily. Tie Xiaotian and Sword Idiot are extremely shameless, but it is really not appropriate to do it now.

"Hmph! go out and settle accounts with you again!" Chi You snorted coldly and put away his giant sword.

"We'll wait!" Tie Xiaotian smiled disdainfully.

"Alright, let's move on. Don't touch the black water again. Yan Yu said lightly.

"Let's go!" Xuan Ling glanced at Tie Xiaotian and his party coldly, and followed Chiyou forward.

The withered earth is overgrown with withered grass half a man high, there are many jumble stones on the ground, and there is no life in the endless plains...

"It's so depressing," Nalan sighed.

"Why don't I feel depressed, but feel a little excited?"

××××××

On the bloody and cold plain, everyone had already walked for a day, and they didn't dare to go too fast, after all, the interior of this ruins was unknown, and if there were any strange monsters or powerful beings, they would be extremely troublesome.

The crowd kept moving along the Black River.

"Stop!" shouted the meditator who was walking at the front.

"What's the situation?" Yan Yu asked.

"Look!" said Meditator with his hand.

Everyone looked in the direction of the meditation finger, and saw that the wide and turbulent black river had become very calm in front of them, as if it had stopped flowing, and it was more like it had transformed into a lake. I saw that there was a strange island in the center of the lake, the island had just come out of the water, there was no life, only many stones and a tall stone stele, the stele was ancient and dilapidated, and the four sides were engraved with complex and strange patterns. A black iron chain the thickness of an arm, coldly surrounded a tall figure.

"There's someone there!" Xuan Ling exclaimed.

I saw that the locked person was eight feet tall, with two horns on his head, sharp hands and claws, his whole body was yellow and dry, and his eyes were empty. Wearing a hideous, sharp chain mail vest. The hands and feet are all equipped with skull arm pads and knee pads. There is a long-handled axe next to it, the axe is extremely black, but the blade is cold and shining...

"I don't feel angry at all, I'm afraid it's not a living person!" Yan Yu said with a frown.

"Let's take a look!" Tie Xiaotian saw the armor and axe on the corpse at a glance, and decided to venture over to investigate.

Without waiting for everyone to speak, Tie Xiaotian walked straight away. As soon as he got twenty meters closer to the lake, a black light lit up in the air.

"Hey, what's going on?" Tie Xiaotian was also a little vigilant. Cautiously waited by the lake for a long time.

"Haha, a false alarm. Tie Xiaotian smiled and walked towards the lake.

"The atmosphere has changed!" The feeling of facing the black river, meditation should be the first. He suddenly felt that the black water was starting to get a little 'excited', and the atmosphere in the whole sky was not right.

'Puff puff...'

The black water suddenly began to boil and bubble, becoming extremely uncalm.

"Childe, come back soon!" the two middle-aged men in black robes, who didn't care too much, suddenly shouted.

"Huh?" Tie Xiaotian turned his head.

"Quack, quack..."

A piercing voice came, and a tall, burly dark-skinned man suddenly appeared in the water. The man's clothes were in tatters, his skin was slethered and black, his eyes were hollow, and he screamed and grabbed Tie Xiaotian's ankles.

"What's it?!" Tie Xiaotian exclaimed, trying to shake it off. Who would have thought that the man's strength was infinite, and his hand was like an iron tong, and he grabbed Tie Xiaotian to the death, so that he couldn't break free.

"Die!" Tie Xiaotian was also flustered, turned his hand and took out a purple long sword, slashed down with a sword, and slashed into the man's shoulder.

The dark-skinned man didn't react, grinning and biting down on the ankle he had caught.

"Ahh

"Quack..."The man was kicked enough and let go. Tie Xiaotian was overjoyed, and flew back without hesitation.

"Childe, it's okay!" both stepped forward one after another.

"Hmph, if I rely on you, I'll be bitten to death!" Tie Xiaotian scolded unceremoniously.

"......" Both of them frowned, they were indeed negligent, but the status of the two was not low, and it was really sad to be counted down like this.

'Sneer...'

"Huh, corrosion?!" Tie Xiaotian suddenly lowered his head, only to see that the pants at his ankles had been corroded. Tie Xiaotian tore off half of his pants, only to see that Tie Xiaotian's entire feet were wrapped in a layer of black metal leggings. The leg guards were bitten and almost broken.

"What? What kind of teeth are they that bite my Xuanjie's leggings like this?" Tie Xiaotian was shocked, he really couldn't accept it.

"Oh no! look!" Cheng Feng exclaimed, only to see a head popping up on the black river, each with withered and black skin, hollow eyes, big mouth and fangs, hideous and terrifying!

"It's really troublesome now!" Chiyou said with a tight frown.

"Get ready to fight!" Meditation Xiu instantly took out the Nose Knife and said coldly.
