Chapter 15: The Waterfall
"It's okay," Genguan thought for a moment and said, "Most of the Great Xia people support us, they will sell us some supplies, such as the beasts they hunt and the food they grow, and we often go to protect them from the invasion of demonic monsters, as for others, such as banished heretics, mercenary groups, and aliens, we are lukewarm. ”
Tatsuno groaned and said, "We will change this situation in the future. ”
"Huh? How to change? ”
"Let's wait until we get to the waterfall, let's stabilize ourselves first." Tatsuno said, "Rest first, and then you'll have to hurry later." ”
Three hours later, as night covered the wilderness area, the heavy dark clouds in the sky rarely disappeared.
In its place is a slightly blood-colored waning moon.
The silence around was terrible, and the team moved forward cautiously, and Huo'er, who had already shown initial signs of infection, walked strongly, and was supported by the entrance so that he did not fall behind.
The journey was relatively peaceful, and occasionally a few demon beasts that acted at night were easily killed by the team.
At three o'clock in the middle of the night, the sound of rushing water was heard in the distance, and everyone's spirits were suddenly lifted.
"It's here!"
"Watch out for the hook snake nearby, I'll explore the way." After Tatsuno finished speaking, he swept out silently.
"Stay in place!" The entrance snorted.
The crowd crouched and hid in the thick grass.
The sound of gurgling water and the rumble of waterfalls hitting rocks grew louder and louder.
Tatsuno clenched the bayonet in his hand, brushed aside the weeds in front of him, and his eyes suddenly opened up.
A lake that reflects the moonlight, and above it is a waterfall thirty or forty meters high.
The waterfall, which is about 50 meters wide, cascades down into the lake, stirring up rolling white waves.
The lake was surrounded by a flat land, with tall trees and lush flowers, and Tatsuno also saw several spiritual herbs and elixirs.
Clean, picturesque.
On a sunny day, it's a beautiful place to put you in a good mood.
But there was no insect chirping, no bird chirping, and not a single living thing.
Tatsuno felt a chill rise in his heart, and he made a note of the terrain, then cautiously and slowly withdrew.
Soon, Tatsuno meets with Genkan and the others.
"How?" The entrance asked.
"There are hooked snakes, hiding in the lake, we have to lure them out and surround them in one fell swoop." Tatsuno picked up a branch and drew a picture on the ground, "Look, this is a lake, it's probably oval-shaped, narrow on both sides and wide in the middle, and the flat ground around the lake is also narrow on both sides, and there are gravel scattered to hinder the snake's movement......"
"You mean, lead them to the sides?"
"Exactly." Long Ye nodded, looked at the sleeping Huo'er, and said, "We currently have nine people with combat effectiveness, I'll go and lure out the hook snake, and the eight of you will surround and kill." ”
"Good!" "That's it, now concentrate grenades and explosives and make improvised wooden thorns!" ”
"Yes!"
The crowd sprang into action, planting explosives and traps on the east side of the waterfall, keeping a distance of more than 10 meters from the lake at all times so as not to alarm the snakes.
Tatsuno sat cross-legged and adjusted his breathing.
It's going to be a tough fight, and he'll need to be well prepared.
The mantra of "Eighty-Nine Xuangong" was silently recited in his heart, and in Long Ye's body, Lingqi ran Zhou Tian.
At first, Tatsuno didn't notice any difference, until he found himself inexplicably absorbing additional Lingqi.
"What's going on?"
He thought it was the idol's work, but he sensed that the idol only aided absorption, and did not provide additional psionics.
"Could it be that this place is full of spirits?"
"That's not right," Tatsuno shook his head, frowning slightly, "The amount of this extra Spirit Qi is too much, and this place can't provide it." ”
Tatsuno pondered, and suddenly, he noticed that the color of his Lingqi had changed.
They were slightly reddened, as if they had absorbed the blood gas.
Tatsuno's eyes narrowed, and he concentrated his mind to pursue the source of this blood.
Soon, the source was found.
The source is in the head.
To be exact, the center of the eyebrows, the position of the soul!
"Is it an extra spirit in the Divine Soul?" Long Ye was puzzled, and felt that the blood color of this extra Lingqi was extremely familiar.
He recalled, and suddenly remembered that this color was exactly the same color as the eye of the batwing demon leader!
"What's the situation?" Tatsuno was stunned, "It can't be a bad spirit, right?!" ”
If the evil qi enters the body, it will disturb Zhou Tian at least and confuse the mind at worst!
Tatsuno nervously and carefully guided the blood-colored Lingqi.
Unexpectedly, this blood-colored Lingqi did not have a sense of coldness at all, but was an incomparably pure energy.
"This ...... Could it be that it was a Lingqi that was absorbed from the Batwing Demon? Tatsuno was shocked.
He had heard that there were some powerful gods who had the ability to absorb the enemy's spiritual qi, and now, he also had this ability?
"It was brought to me by the Divine Spirit?"
Long Ye's face twitched slightly, repeatedly confirming that this blood-colored aura did not contain evil energy.
Then, joy uncontrollably hung on his lips.
"If it's true, my cultivation speed will increase a lot!" Tatsuno was pleasantly surprised.
However, this is not yet confirmed, and he needs to try fighting the demon beast again.
After absorbing these extra Lingqi, the Tatsuno Dantian was inside
"What are you laughing at?" Genkan's words call Tatsuno back to reality.
"Nothing." Tatsuno shook his head and said with a smile, "How is it, it's arranged?" ”
"It's arranged, all our grenade explosives have been used, the trap is tight on time, and only six dungeon wooden spikes have been made." Genkan said.
"That's enough." Tatsuno said, "You tell everyone, you must not get close when fighting, and the task of close quarters is handed over to me, and the tail of the hooking snake will not be able to stand it." ”
"I'm fighting with you in close combat, my soul is a spirit turtle, I can bear it, in addition, Qing Zhi, Bai Yuan, and Zhang Kaijun can also wait for an opportunity to make a move."
"Okay." Tatsuno repeatedly instructed, "You must save your life first." ”
"That's, otherwise how did you survive so long in this wilderness area?" The entrance smiled, "Don't worry!" ”
"Okay, then inform everyone, let's get ready for action." Tatsuno looked up at the sky.
In the East, the white of the fish belly has appeared.
This time is the time when the hook snake sleeps the deepest.
Cracking sound......
Amid the sound of the waterfall, Tatsuno slowly approached the lake under the gaze of everyone.
He walked to the edge of the lake, jumped on the rock, crouched down, and looked at the lake, as if to gauge his own appearance.
After a few moments, Tatsuno yawned, then unbuckled his pants and peed on the lake.
Whoa......
The sound of water murmured, and the corners of everyone's mouths twitched in the distance.
Although the entrance was nervous, he still laughed: "Come on, this thing can't bear this kind of thing!" ”
"Yes, you see that there are no living creatures in this 100-meter radius, which shows how strong the territorial awareness of the hooked snakes is, and they pee on the lake where they live......" A veteran smacked his lips, "I don't dare to think how angry the hooked snakes must be." ”
The bottom of the lake.
In the cavern, the strange smell rushed into the mouth of the hooked snake, alarming the forked tongue.
Then, the rage erupted like a volcano.
Thundered!
The water in the cave was turbulent, and then a snake rushed out.
Their triangular eyes locked onto the humans standing on the shore with their belts tied, and then rushed out like crazy.
