Chapter Seventy-Eight: This Is the "Poison Pool"?
"Whoa!"
The sound of a heavy object sinking into the water. Yang Ji made a few leaps, and finally arrived at the place where the voice came from.
Hundreds of black poisonous insects swarmed the deer's carcass and sent them to the depths of the swamp, and then, as if they had completed their mission, they squeaked and screamed and scattered.
The corpse of the rock deer floated on top of the swamp, its huge eyes staring blankly at the sky, slowly sinking. If there is no accident, it will take more than six hours for the body of the rock deer to sink completely into the depths of the swamp.
"Is this their destination?"
Yang Ji stepped on the pitch-black trunk of a pitch-black tree that was the thickness of a horizontal sea bowl and more than three feet long, thoughtfully. The swamp is very dangerous, but after all, unlike the lake, as long as the method is done properly, the swamp still has a lot of buoyancy and does not sink immediately.
Around the carcass of the rock deer, there were a lot of corpses, and the bones of an unknown animal were scattered on the swamp. Among them, Yang Ji recognized the most was the skeleton of the spirit ape, densely packed, obviously in the past, there were many spirit apes who died here.
The whole place is eerie.
Yang Ji glanced back, and the group of black poisonous insects that carried the rock eagle had already recovered to the point of fighting separately, and scattered in a hurry, leaving far away. Some of these vicious insects even fight and devour each other on the way.
Just looking at the way they bite and attack each other, it's hard to believe that just a moment ago they were at peace and working together.
"There's got to be weird in there!"
A sharp light flashed in Yang Ji's eyes.
"Whoa!"
Yang Ji was still stepping on the trunk of a dead tree on the swamp to think about these black poisonous weirdness, and suddenly he heard a loud sound in his ears, and out of the corner of his eye, a bright red tongue popped out of the depths of the swamp as if it were being practiced, and the huge red tongue was more than ten feet long, and it bounced straight into the air.
Scare!
Yang Ji was startled. Almost fell off the black trunk of a dead tree. What is this? This tongue is thicker than a human, and Yang Ji can even see the squirming soft flesh on the long bright red tongue.
"Smack!"
The foul muddy water splashed everywhere, and the long bright red tongue fell, enveloping the corpse of the rock deer not far away, and dragged it down the swamp with a thud.
"Boom!"
The rock deer weighing seven or eight hundred pounds disappeared into the swamp in an instant like a piece of paper. The next moment. A loud rumbling noise erupted from beneath the swamp and quickly headed east.
It's so fast!
In the blink of an eye, the huge rock deer and the monster beneath the swamp vanished. It's incredible!
"Chasing ——"
Yang Ji didn't even think about it, and in an instant, he jumped out of the black dead tree trunk and headed in the direction where the sound came from.
The swamp was very dangerous, and as a last resort, Yang Ji chased along the edge of the swamp as much as he could. In any case, Yang Ji has to figure out what exactly is it that swept away the rock deer?
So many poisonous insects are safe and cooperative. Could the carcasses of the animals being transported here for years have something to do with the monster beneath the swamp?
Whew!
Yang Ji jumped like a fly, and used the "swallow through the clouds" to the limit, and chased away.
The trunks and bones of the trees floating on the surface of the swamp one by one were just stepped on by Yang Ji, and they immediately shattered with a click and sank into the swamp, and the situation was extremely dangerous. But Yang Ji couldn't care about it anymore.
His mind was turning over and over. What kept flashing was the realm where the long bright red tongue bounced up from under the swamp mud.
A huge danger filled his heart, and Yang Ji had a feeling. I'm afraid that monster's strength is extremely strong. It's not something you can deal with on your own. There are many dangers in rushing to catch up.
But at this time, another strong curiosity quickly took over.
It had taken several hours for Yang Ji to get from Ape Mountain to here. I don't even know where I am.
Seeing that this monster had already been played under his nose, if it weren't for going back so unclear and not knowing anything, Yang Ji always felt deeply unwilling in his heart.
"I'm going to figure it out anyway. What the hell is this monster. ”
Yang Ji was secretly in his heart.
The rapid racing of his mind was enough to deduce a flaw in a high-level martial art, and his powerful analytical ability to improve it was once again at work.
In this vast swamp, Yang Ji almost instantly found a "fulcrum" for himself to settle down and borrow.
The surrounding miasma is getting thinner. I don't know how long it has been-
"Buzz!"
A light breeze blew on his face, and a burst of fresh air rushed into his nose, and Yang Ji only felt that his eyes lit up and suddenly brightened. Only then did I find that the miasma around me had suddenly disappeared.
A series of mountains appeared in front of him, and between the mountains, a vast swamp stretched out into the distance like a wide band.
"It's too fast!"
Yang Ji said in his heart. The rumbling sound was gone, and only a faint voice pointed the way.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji jumped onto the shore and chased after him.
This journey is very novel to Yang Ji, and it is simply a feeling of opening a cave. This is the first time that Yang Ji has discovered that there is such a novel world near Tieguan Mountain.
I don't know how long it took, but the rumbling sound disappeared completely.
"It's gone. ”
Yang Ji appeared at the position where the voice appeared after the most coarse voice, and frowned. The monster's strength was too great, and although it traveled underground, it was still faster than him.
"It shouldn't be. ”
Yang Ji stood up, looked around, and carefully observed the terrain:
"It's very open and the sound is very easy to convey. And there are green mountains on both sides, and in some cases there will even be echoes. I'm not as fast as the monster, but there's no reason why I'm so far away from it that I can't even hear the echo!"
Yang Ji was puzzled in his heart. It's one thing to not be able to catch up, but it's too much of an exaggeration not to even hear the sound. Yang Ji secretly calculated that unless the distance between them reached more than ten miles, they would not be able to hear a single sound at all.
But this is not possible.
"Whoosh!"
Yang Ji's heart moved, and he suddenly swept up the mountain. Fly to the highest point on the mountain. A moment later, the mountain breeze struck, and the strange rocks were abrupt. Yang Ji stood on the top of the mountain, and the direction of the entire swamp instantly caught his eye.
From the foot forward, the swamp winds along the mountains on either side, and the mouth becomes smaller and smaller.
"Well, there's a lake in there. ”
Yang Ji Dingqing looked at it and saw the end of the swamp, along the corner of the mountains. The faint moon is a black lake.
"How can there be a lake here?"
Yang Ji was surprised, and his mind went up and down. In the dark, there seemed to be an electric light passing through his mind, Yang Ji's heart jumped, and he vaguely seemed to think of something, but he couldn't grasp it for a while.
"Let's take a look!"
Yang Ji didn't have time to think about it, and slammed down the hill and swept towards the place where the lake light came out.
"It's really lake water. ”
Just when he saw the end of the swamp, Yang Ji saw this lake. The lake is pitch black. It exudes a rotten and fishy smell, and people can't help but cover their noses.
Compared to the lake in front of you, the stench of the swamp was nothing at all.
"Senior Brother Zhang, do you think they can succeed this time......
While he was checking the lake, an abrupt human voice suddenly came from the top of a nearby mountain, and the sound was faint, as if it was not far away.
"This ...... How could anyone be here?"
Yang Ji's eyelids jumped, and he was surprised in his heart. It's remote and barren. It's off the beaten track and it's also very far from Iron Crown Mountain.
His appearance here was entirely by chance. But what's going on with these people?
"Go over and see. ”
Yang Ji was curious, and with a bounce, he suddenly jumped out and fell on the hillside next to him, and a few ups and downs went straight to the top of the mountain.
On the top of the rugged mountain, two young people, one tall and one short, walked along the ridge with green clothes and iron crowns. While walking, he lowered his head to exchange something, and he didn't notice Yang Ji who appeared in front of him at all.
"It's a disciple of our Iron Crown Sect!"
Yang Ji became more and more curious in his heart. However, when I met the disciples of this sect here, I still had a sense of intimacy.
"A few senior brothers are polite. ”
Yang Ji tiptoed lightly, flew over, and waved his hands.
"Scared!"
I saw Yang Ji who suddenly appeared. The two Iron Crown Sect disciples were taken aback. However, seeing his outfit clearly, as well as the seal of the "Gong Disciple" on his waist, he didn't dare to be rude.
"It turned out to be Senior Brother!"
The two also hurriedly returned the salute.
Although Yang Ji can't control them, in the sect, the "disciple of the Gong" still has a lot of status.
"Hehe, why are the senior brothers here?"
Yang Jidao.
Hearing Yang Ji's words, the two were stunned, glanced at each other, seemed to understand something, and suddenly laughed.
"Hahaha, senior brother is really good at watching jokes!"
"What else can we do here?—— it's not the same as my senior brother, come and see this 'poisonous golden toad', hahaha"
......
The two of them laughed together, but when this remark fell into Yang Ji's ears, it was like a dry thunder.
"What?!"
Hearing these four words, Yang Ji's whole body shook violently, and his face was stunned. In the dark, like a firelight crossed his mind, the thought that he couldn't grasp suddenly became extremely clear.
"The highly poisonous golden toad? The highly poisonous golden toad that Sun Jue mentioned...... This is the poison pool he said?"
At this moment, Yang Ji was dumbfounded.
Yang Ji never expected that this was actually the "poison pool" that Sun Jue had mentioned a few months ago that he would capture the highly poisonous golden toad with his senior brother Tian Kui.
What a surprise!
"It turns out that this black lake is the 'poison pool'. ”
Yang Ji was condescending, looking down at the pitch-black and lifeless "lake" under the mountain, and his thoughts came and went.
"Lake water" is "pool water", which Yang Ji did not expect. I can only say that I am too preconceived, or that not all "pools" are as "small" as I imagined.
"If this is the poison pool, then isn't the monster I found in the miasma the poisonous golden toad?"
Yang Ji muttered to himself in his heart.
Thinking of the incomprehensibly weak and incredibly long tongue he saw, Yang Ji's heart suddenly suddenly dawned. It turned out to be the tongue of the highly poisonous golden toad.
The one who rolled up the rock deer and dragged it to the ground was nothing else, it was the "poisonous golden toad".
“...... In this way, the army of poisonous insects in the miasma forest transported the corpses of the rock deer just to feed the poisonous golden toad. It's amazing that this monster has traveled so far to hunt for food from under the swamp!"
Yang Ji was shocked in his heart. But it is not surprising to think that the highly poisonous golden toad also has to eat, and there is nothing to eat in this fishy pool of lifeless water.
Yang Ji felt in his heart, knowing that there were definitely not many people who went to hunt for food in the miasma forest with these highly poisonous golden toads. Maybe even just yourself. (To be continued......)
