Chapter 252: Hiss
Even the Niyun Deer, whose divine beast blood is thin, felt the abnormality here, and Mo Jiao, who was about to turn into a dragon, naturally felt it earlier.
But like the Neon Cloud Deer Patriarch Xue Ling, he couldn't sense the emotions coming from the depths of the underground river.
Worried about the danger lurking at the end of the underground river, he wanted to arrive first and explore the way for Yu Xi, and with a flick of his long tail, he hooked the Panhai mussel with his tail that opened a gap, clinging to the top of the water, and flew towards the depths of the underground river.
Panhai mussel has strong defense and no objections, and he doesn't need to hurry, as long as he hangs on the tail of the ink Jiaojiao and is taken away. For a while, the two of them became the fastest of the three teams.
The underground rivers branch apart, but as they go deeper to the north, some narrow channels gradually converge, and after about 800 miles to the north, only the last wide channel remains.
When Yu Xi received the news from Mo Jiao, he and Panhai Mussel had already arrived at the place where the branches of the river converged.
At this time, Yu Xi was still nearly a hundred miles away from there.
"Your Excellency, let's go find out first." After Mo Jiao reported to Yu Xi, he continued to fly forward with the Panhai mussel.
In fact, it is not so much about flying, but now it is half immersed in the water.
At the back of the river, the water is becoming more and more rapid, and there is almost no gap between the water surface and the ice above. It's impossible to completely avoid touching the surface of the water.
Mo Jiao was worried at first that when he touched the surface of the water, it would trigger the "suction", but after a few tests and found that it would not be, he soaked half of his body, as a monster that lives in the water all year round, he actually swam faster than flying.
Mo Jiao was swimming in the water with the sea mussel, and suddenly felt that something was approaching him from behind, and hurriedly flashed his figure, close to the ice on one side to dodge.
In the next moment, a huge ball quickly floated past Mo Jiao and Panhai Mussel. As it floated in front of them, the ball seemed to jump upwards, knocking off a piece of crushed ice above its head, and then being swept farther away with the crushed ice......
There was no light in the underground river, and Mo Jiao and they didn't dare to spread their divine consciousness too far, only vaguely saw that it was a round ball about three feet in diameter, covered with wet fluff.
The shell of the Panhai mussel was ninety percent closed, and it was even more blurry, and he couldn't help but ask: "Jiaolong senior, did you see what happened just now?" ”
"It looks like a monster?" Mo Jiao was not very sure, but he vaguely sensed that the thing was alive, and he seemed to struggle a few times in the current just now, but he didn't struggle at all, and could only be carried deep into the underground river by the turbulent current.
Mo Jiao guessed that the other party might have been brought over by the strange suction they had encountered earlier.
Fortunately, the appearance and breath are very unfamiliar, and they are not demon beasts that have followed from the Phaseless Sea.
That's ...... Monsters here in the Arctic Glacier?
Compared to the fact that there are other monsters surviving on the Arctic glaciers, it is obvious that the underground river will "abduct" lives and send them to the depths of the river.
Mo Jiao hurriedly reported the situation here to Yu Xi.
As you go deeper along the river, you'll encounter many river branches or confluences, as well as many crevasses that run down the ice.
I don't know which crack the demon beast that was swept away by the current fell from, but it obviously didn't coincide with Yu Xi's path.
Yu Xi put away the scales and relayed the news from Mo Jiao, reminding the Niyun Deer and the Thousand Trick Spirit Ruler beside him to be careful.
As soon as the words fell, I felt a breath behind me rapidly approaching.
Yu Xi hurriedly grabbed a Thousand Tricks Spirit Ruler and pulled him to the ice behind him, while Niyun Lu clinged to the ice on the other side, giving way to the wide river in the middle.
I saw that the flowing water was rolling a "black stick" and quickly floated in front of Yu Xi.
Closer, Yu Xi can see clearly, where is the stick?
It was a black snake.
A frozen black snake!
The black snake was swept away by the current, and it happened that there was a corner in the river in front of it, and the black snake probably still had some consciousness left, and suddenly jumped up from the water, hit the ice headlong, and then the snake's tail jerked on the ice, and with this force, he turned around and swam back in the opposite direction of the current.
At first it went well.
But just as he swam more than a dozen feet away and was about to pass by Yu Xi and them, a more powerful suction force enveloped him than before, and his body stiffened for a moment.
Seeing that this black snake was about to be swept away by the current, Yu Xi kicked the ice behind him on his toes, kicked forward with his body, grabbed the snake's tail, and rushed to the opposite side of the river with him.
At the same time, Yu Xi invoked the power of the dragon ball, forming a barrier to isolate the aura around his body, and also completely enveloped the black snake.
The force that locked onto the black snake in the river lost its purpose and quickly disappeared without a trace.
Sensing that the power had completely disappeared, the Niyun Deer and the Thousand Trick Spirit Ruler, who didn't dare to take a breath just now, dared to move.
When they came to Yu Xi's side, they could see at a glance that this snake's cultivation was not low, almost equivalent to the realm of a fifth-order demon beast.
It's a stranger, and it's not a race that has ever appeared on the Sea.
Yu Xi also felt that her eyes were angry, she had read the jade slips that recorded demon beasts in the cultivation realm, and there was no such demon beast among them.
That is, they exist only in the far north glaciers.
"I didn't expect that there were monsters living in the glaciers of the far north......"
Xue Ling, the patriarch of the Niyun Deer Sect, sighed, "Could it be that they are also like us, trapped by the prohibition of heaven and earth, and can only live in the extreme north glacier and cannot leave?" ”
Thinking of this, the Niyun Deer Patriarch, who was already soft in his heart, looked at the black snake in Yu Xi's hand, and his eyes couldn't help but carry a little sympathy.
The black snake looked like it was dying.
Niyun Lu breathed the aura into his body, and he struggled in Yu Xi's hands for a while.
Yu Xi didn't let go of her hand, once she let go, the black snake was likely to be locked by the inexplicable force in the underground river and sucked towards the end of the river.
"If you want to survive, don't struggle." Yu Xi spoke softly.
The snake stopped struggling at once, opened its eyes, and looked at Yu Xi with a pair of vertical pupils that flashed with a cold glow.
"We're asking you something."
The man in front of him is obviously the aboriginal of the Far North glacier.
The fifth-order realm demon beast has long possessed a mind that is not weaker than that of the human race, and Yu Xi rescued the black snake just to ask for some useful information from his mouth.
The snake's mouth opened slightly, and it spat out the letter, and a "hiss" sound sounded in the ears.
Yu Xi asked directly: "Why did you run just now, what is in the depths of this underground river?" ”
She was answered with a "hiss" sound.
There seemed to be a little confusion in those vertical pupils.
Yu Xi couldn't understand his "hiss", and he didn't seem to be able to answer Yu Xi's question.
It doesn't look like it's deliberately pretended.
The Niyun Deer and the Thousand Trick Spirit Ruler on the side were greatly surprised, "Could it be that his cultivation is so high, and he still has no spiritual wisdom?" ”
