1480 Going upstream

Those underworld creatures who had suffered a spiritual shock, and the slightly stronger ones immediately fled to the bottom of the river, and even burrowed into the depths of the riverbed to escape.

The weaker ones exploded directly and turned into fragments, accompanied by the faint smoke that rose up, and the liquid in its body merged into the river water and dyed the river water with a strange color.

While flowing downstream with the rushing of the river, it also quickly attracted those who smelled the smell and rushed to eat it, causing the river to churn violently.

As if bait, many gray shadows shuttled and swam in the river, and the strangely colored river water returned to its original appearance after a few moments, but the underworld creatures that were still gathering in this area began to fight and devour each other.

The hissing sound was faint, but it could still be faintly heard.

Those who are provoked to jump out of the water will be the fastest to be killed, eaten, and devoured.

There weren't many individuals killed by Raymond's mental shock, but the conflict caused by those killed had a domino-like effect, making the river boil endlessly, and finally a full-fledged aquatic spirit with a humanoid silhouette arrived to settle the dispute, and the conflict between creatures in the underworld of the water system finally came to an end.

The aquatic resentful spirit that slowly fell to the surface of the water stood upright on the surface of the water and was five meters high, and there was an inexplicable liquid flowing in the body membrane, although its face had no facial features, but Raymond standing on the bank of the river could still feel being stared at by the other party.

The aquatic spirit and the river were so integrated that it was impossible to distinguish the part below the water's surface. Raymond couldn't tell how big he actually was.

And the Phantom Butterfly Himima, who had long been trembling with fright, had already wrapped her body tightly with two pairs of wings and hid behind Raymond, and the click as if the sound of her teeth trembling could be heard clearly.

But the aquatic wraith didn't do anything. It just looked at Raymond for a long time, and then slowly disappeared into the water.

The effect of perception in the underworld was suppressed, but the feeling that the aquatic wraith brought to Raymond when it stood upright was as if it were a huge accumulation of majestic resentment that could not be detected by sight.

Even though there was nothing unusual when they looked at each other, Raymond still seemed to hear the silent roars and screams coming from his body, and felt a lot of pain, despair, anger, and other emotions trying to spread outward, but all of these were suppressed by the aquatic resentful spirit.

Since there is no conflict. Raymond won't chase after him either.

It was only because the appearance of this aquatic resentful spirit and its eventual disappearance could not be detected by him, so he wanted to directly cross the river in the air. was also dispelled by him.

Phantom butterflies are creatures of the underworld, and the experience they have accumulated here must be adhered to.

So after learning that any material could be made into a ferry, Raymond took the local materials and made a small boat out of those reed-like underworld plants. Straight to the other side.

Across the river. On the other side of the river, there were rolling low hills, and the earth-based energy and faint radiation that filled the environment were immediately noticeable.

The concentration of radiation determines whether the environment is suitable for the survival of living beings, but when the detection results of the chip are provided, Raymond realizes that this is the underworld, and the number of environments applicable to other planes cannot be used here for comparison.

Therefore, Raymond directly shielded the number of chips, and took the Phantom Butterfly Hima up the river beach.

There are far fewer strange underworld plants on the river beach than you have seen in the wetlands before. However, its aggressiveness has been greatly reduced, allowing Raymond to increase his speed as he advances.

And in the low mountains beside the river beach. The number of creatures belonging to the underworld is not very large, but the feeling of being watched shortly after crossing the river has been haunting Raymond's heart, and he has found nothing under his investigation, so he has to be on guard.

But in addition to this, the most troublesome thing is that because Hima herself rarely leaves her village, it can't provide any useful information at all, and even this choice to go up the river is a last resort decision made by Raymond.

Therefore, Raymond, who was on guard against the inexplicable peeping, could only hope that before the wetlands on the other side of the river changed, the Phantom Butterfly Himala would be able to find his village in the col not far from the river beach, otherwise he would have to immediately turn around and go downstream.

Half a day was spent in such a boring state that required increased vigilance.

Perhaps sensing Raymond's impatience, the Phantom Butterfly Hima, who had been watching the river beach with wide eyes beside him, muttered to himself, "As long as I get close to the riverbank where the village is located, I will definitely find the path to the village", as if to cheer himself up, and as if to comfort Raymond.

But in fact, Raymond, who had been in the underworld for ten days, was actually not as impatient as he had appeared, because the smooth journey had far exceeded his original expectations, and his mood was very relaxed and satisfied.

Although the Dark Stone needed for the altar that could make the Sirens send him to the underworld has not yet been obtained, it is thought that as long as the Phantom Butterfly Clan has a reserve, no matter how much it is, it can be exchanged for it.

As for the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree located at the source of the river, Raymond believes that as long as its existence can be found, then it is only a matter of time before the Soul Sacrifice Fruit can be obtained.

It's just that so far he didn't know the growth of the Soul Sacrifice Fruit, if the Soul Sacrifice Fruit located at the source of this river would take a long time to ripen, then he could only continue to search and search, and he wouldn't wait for the Soul Sacrifice Fruit Tree to ripen when it was ripe, right?

With such thoughts, Raymond's mood gradually calmed down in the face of the river beach full of sand and gravel, and as the inexplicable sense of peeping gradually disappeared, the undulation of the terrain in front of him gradually became abrupt, making the environment unconsciously carry out a natural transition.

Tall plants that resemble reeds generally grow on the banks of rivers on lower ground, while moss-like plants with a faint fluorescent emission spread along the river banks in clusters.

Some of the underworld plants that don't even have a name are similar to fungi, although most of them look very ordinary, but in the eyes of the Phantom Butterfly Himima, they belong to the type that can be collected and eaten, because most of them contain highly poisonous, and if you get closer, you will feel the strange smell released by them, and even attract the vain attack of these underworld plants.

And time passed unconsciously, but not long after the river turned in vain, the Phantom Butterfly Himima, who noticed that a small number of pale green mushrooms had appeared far away from the riverbank, finally became excited. "These are very similar to the bixin mushrooms scattered by the tribesmen, and they may really find the col of the village soon......

Agitated, the Phantom Butterfly Hima led Raymond away from the river beach and closer to the side of the low mountain, where he would investigate the misty mountain trail whenever he found it.

As he continued to move forward, some undetectable traces appeared, making Raymond feel that there was a convergence of residual energy in these low mountains, apparently because there had been a battle in these areas not long ago.

Raymond, who doesn't need to be as close as Hima to detect these signs, is not as optimistic as Hima.

Because the more you move forward, the more frequent these remnants appear, and even some rocks that are not easily damaged are gradually showing signs of collapse and damage.

Although the adult people of Phantom Butterfly also enter these mountain paths to explore and collect the special underworld plants hidden in them, the gradual density and apparently the traces of the conflict between the strict zhòng indicate that the village may be in danger......
