Chapter 348: Sea of the Dead, Mermaid Reef
We followed Roy, and at noon, we came to a relatively open place. In the distance, I saw a glimmer of light in front of me, and many black shadows were moving back and forth.
Roy told us to be quiet, and he crept over the fence and led four odd-looking animals.
Only then did I see clearly what Thestrals looked like, with a head like a dragon, a body like a horse, a pair of huge wings, and silver-white eyes, without pupils, which looked very weird.
Thestrals is very thin, there is no meat at all, thin skin and bones. The black fur clings tightly to the skeleton, and the ribs and joints are clearly visible.
According to Roy, there is a story among wizards that Thestrals can bring disaster to people and is a very unlucky animal. Moreover, only those who have seen death will see it, while others will not feel its presence.
In fact, Thestrals are a very useful animal, they have an excellent sense of direction, as long as they tell it a location, they can smoothly bring people there. Moreover, Thestrals can fly at extremely fast speeds, so with them, we can feel the Sea of the Undead in advance of the Dark Moon Witch.
After Roy stole out of Thestrals, he told us to hurry up and get out of here, for if the shepherds saw it, we might get into trouble. We all flipped on Thestrals' backs, clamped our legs, Thestrals ran a few times, their wings flapped violently, and Hula flew.
Don't look at the Thestrals that look weird, but they do fly very fast. Weave back and forth between the branches and leaves of tall trees without being affected.
When he rested at night, Xu Bin laid a trap near the camp with a knife wire to block the invasion of unknown creatures. Early the next morning, we set off immediately. It took about two and a half days to travel all the way like this, and I was already able to see the sea of the dead in the distance! When I got here, I felt that the atmosphere around me had become a little cold, the trees were withered, and gray mushrooms more than half a person tall had grown on the dead wood. In the air, there was a faint smell of blood.
When I got here, even if I was in the night, I felt a little uncomfortable and kept hissing. We tried our best to control them and flew towards the Mermaid Reef.
At a distance of several hundred meters from the Sea of the Undead, Thestrals did not dare to fly anymore, but fell to the ground. I saw that the sky above the entire sea of the undead was covered with strange smoke clouds, and there was a rancid smell in the air. The ground was full of yellow, blackened bones, covered with phosphorescent mushrooms. Everywhere we passed, mushrooms cracked, and poisonous spores wafted through the air.
Everyone had to cover their mouths and noses, and Qiao Yeqi struggled forward.
I thought that when I got to the Sea of the Dead, there was no shade from the trees, and I should be able to see some sunlight, but the truth is, it was simply impossible. The Black Forest didn't know what kind of prohibition it was, and the sky had been shrouded in a thick layer of clouds, unable to let in a single ray of sunlight. At night, through the thick clouds, the outline of the moon can be seen, but it is only hazy and not real.
This is a dark world.
The Mermaid Reef is a large rock on the shore of the undead that stretches into the Sea of the Dead. The whole is more than ten meters high, the size of more than a football field. Viewed from the air, it looks like a huge mermaid is crawling towards the shore, hence the name.
There is no grass on the mermaid reef, and the top is fairly flat. It's just that as soon as night falls, countless Yin spirits will emerge from the sea of the undead, and as far as the eye can see, it is boundless.
Maybe one or two Yin Spirits are nothing to us, but these thousands of Yin Spirits are extremely terrifying, and if my magic sword is still there, I won't be afraid of them. But right now, we don't have anything to do with them.
These spirits have always haunted us, so that all around us, illusions have emerged one after another. There is a thin murmur in my ears all the time, and if I listen to it for a long time, it will produce a hypnotic effect. If you are not careful, once you fall into the illusion, you will never recover.
I had no choice but to take out the copper wooden fish that I hadn't used for a long time from my bag and rub the runes on it. The copper wood fish emits a golden light, shining on a piece of heaven and earth. Seeing this, the surrounding Yin Spirits screamed one after another and ran out of the way.
The world is a lot quieter.
I sat on a reef and looked out into the sea of the dead. The dark red water surface was covered with gray-white foam, and you could faintly see the white skulls tumbling beneath the water. The black hole's eye sockets also shone with a faint green light.
Yi Zhenfeng hugged Beiluo Shimen tightly, shrunk his shoulders and said, "This place is too gloomy, why does the old witch have to choose to connect here?" ”
Roy said, "The Night Witch behaves strangely, and outsiders can't figure it out. Some time ago, anyone who hit the fruit of the tree of life did not end well, and in this case, she still has to gather people to steal the fruit, it seems that she must be confident. I really don't know where she got this confidence! ”
Xu Bin asked, "Since all the witches she gathered, obviously all women, will they accept us?" ”
Roy frowned and thought for a moment, "I can't tell, after all, I haven't dealt with her either." It seems that we can only take one step at a time. I think everyone should be prepared for a tough battle to be fought. ”
As I was talking, all of a sudden, I heard a strange sound coming from the lake below. When I hurriedly looked down, I saw that the dark red water of the lake had suddenly become turbid, and the surface of the water was stirred, as if something was moving at the bottom of the water. Immediately afterwards, the water of the lake began to rise gradually, and then the whole lake seemed to boil, and countless columns of water appeared.
"What's going on?" Everyone looked at the lake and asked in surprise.
Roy was also surprised, and said: "I don't know, I always thought that everyone said that the sea of the dead was very dangerous, but no one said what they would encounter!" …… What to do? ”
I felt as if something was coming out of the bottom of the lake, so I said to everyone, "Hurry up and take shelter on the shore first, this reef is about to be submerged." ”
The Mermaid Reef is about ten meters high, which is not too short, and at this time, there are huge waves in the Sea of the Undead, and it looks like it is about to swallow the entire reef. We hurriedly ran down the mermaid reef with Thestrals, and as soon as we reached the shore, we heard a sudden explosion in the lake behind us, and a huge blood-red figure stood up from the lake.
"Bloodseeker!" Roy exclaimed.
When we looked back, we saw that the blood demon was composed of dark red lake water, more than twenty meters high, and its body was full of countless dry bones, which were impacted by the current, constantly rotating, and from time to time there was a green glow shining from its body. The Blood Fiend roared, and countless Yin Spirits rushed out of its mouth, roaring and rushing towards us—
