Chapter 38: The Monster in the Lake
A few men carefully crossed the pontoon bridge covered with piranhas, but the cave at the end of the pontoon bridge was still empty.
"Ran and lay down in vain. Xiao Ziyi complained with annoyance.
"This builder is too immoral, isn't it?"
"He's here to stop you from going. Ye Qingli said lightly.
"Let's go back first. Yun Feng said and opened the road from the front, the pontoon bridge just passed, a large area of piranha flowers had been cut off, and then walked back, although there were still a small number of piranha attacks, but it was much better than just now, and several people quickly returned to the entrance.
The five of them stood at the entrance for a long time, and there were still two pontoon bridges that had not been walked, and taking a wrong step would not only waste time but also consume physical strength.
"I'll pick one. Xiao Ziyi pushed aside the southern smoke and snow that was blocking the front.
"I've always been lucky, so I'll go on the far right. Xiao Ziyi said that he stepped on it first, and then the five people followed, and no one knew how to go from the pontoon bridge, so they could only continue to break blindly.
Walking to the center of the pontoon, a group of snake-like things suddenly swam under the pontoon, unlike snakes, its mouth is not spitting snake letters, but a mouth full of barbs, and they keep jumping out of the water, trying to attack the people on the pontoon.
"What is this?" asked Nan Yanxue, pulling Yunfeng's clothes.
"It's a bill eel, an eel, shaped like a long snake, fast-moving, active in attacking people, gluttonous, and with well-developed and powerful jaws. ”
"Does it eat people too?"
"It mainly feeds on fish in the water, but this Shenmu Cliff is not like anywhere else, and it is not surprising that the flying fish and beasts here are all spirits, and it is not surprising that they eat people. ”
Yun Feng said as he pulled Nan Yanxue with one hand, and walked forward cautiously with a sword in the other, the eels under the pontoon bridge quickly swam left and right, Nan Yanxue secretly glanced at it, those eels swam extremely fast, and swam forward with the pace of several people, as if they were preparing to attack.
The pontoon bridge is not blocked from side to side, and it sways from side to side, and if you are not careful, you may fall into the water, and the eels in the water are eyeing you, and if you fall into the water, you are afraid that you will be torn to pieces in an instant.
Nan Yanxue and Xiao Ziyi walked extra carefully, the eels saw that no one fell into the water, so they took the initiative to attack, they kept jumping out of the water one by one, some directly attacked a few people, and some deliberately hit the pontoon, a few people used the spell sword to fight back, the eel that jumped out of the water was split in half and fell into the lake, the eel that fell into the lake was quickly eaten by the eel that was still in the water, some eels even opened their mouths and waited for their companions to fall into their mouths, the water was instantly scarlet, and a thick fishy smell came to the face.
Several people covered their noses with the smell of fish.
"They even eat their own companions, it's so inhumane!" Nan Yanxue said indignantly.
"They weren't human beings in the first place, how could they be human?" Xiao Ziyi hit the eel while not forgetting to fight with Nan Yanxue.
Seeing that the attack was fruitless, the eel kept hitting the pontoon, the pontoon shook violently, Nan Yanxue and Xiao Ziyi simply squatted on the pontoon bridge and moved forward cautiously, Yun Feng carefully protected the two of them beside him, but he didn't want Ye Qingli to accidentally almost slip down, but fortunately, Ye Qingli's skills were high enough, and she used the Yao light sword in her hand to support the eel's body in the water at the moment she slipped, and one turned over and fell back to the pontoon bridge steadily.
"Let's go. ”
The eels in the water saw that they had come ashore, so they turned around and swam elsewhere, and the whole lake was dyed red.
Nan Yanxue looked at this terrifying scene and was so frightened that she hurriedly went into the cave.
"Ah......h
Nan Yanxue, who had just entered the cave, screamed miserably, luring the rest of the people in.
Nan Yanxue was in the entrance of the cave, pointing to the center of the cave, in the center of the cave was a huge catfish essence, the catfish spirit was full of fangs, the long beard was drooping on both sides, and there was a slimy and wet thing under its body, which looked particularly disgusting, and there was a mechanism on the left side of its body.
"I'll just say I'm lucky. Xiao Ziyi pointed to the organ and said with a fluttering eyebrow.
"It's good luck to meet such a big catfish monster. ”
The catfish was originally lying in the cave to rest, but it was suddenly woken up by several people, and it became extremely irritable, and it slapped its wet body and attacked several people.
The catfish spirit has a big mouth, and there are some food residues hanging on the black and yellow fangs in its mouth, and as soon as it opened its mouth, a smoky smell accompanied by the slimy scarlet smell came to its face, and Nan Yanxue ran out of the cave disgustingly.
Yun Feng was afraid that the slimy thing would stick to his sword, so he picked up a wooden stick and hit the catfish, which was hit in the head and fell to the ground with a muffled grunt.
The catfish that fell to the ground swayed and straightened its body, it lay on the ground and began to spit bubbles, and in a moment the bubbles filled the entire cave, Xiao Ziyi curiously poked the bubbles with his hand.
After poking the bubbles, he walked towards the catfish essence with his eyes scattered, and the catfish essence had a large mouth, as if waiting for food to reach his mouth.
Bai Yifan hurriedly pulled Xiao Ziyi to retreat outside the cave, and Xiao Ziyi wanted to pull Bai Yifan's hand away with a blank face.
"Wake up, wake up!" Bai Yifan shouted at Xiao Ziyi.
"He's psychedelic, these bubbles are psychedelic, be careful not to touch them. Nan Yanxue said and began to heal Xiao Ziyi's injuries, Xiao Ziyi only touched a bubble, and the situation was not serious, but it returned to normal after a while.
The cave is full of bubbles, and the catfish spirit lies in the center of the hole, and if you want to attack it, you must pass through the bubbles, but as soon as you touch the bubbles, you will be psychedelic.
Several people were in trouble for a while.
"Maybe my dark healing technique can break through this. Nan Yanxue took the initiative to stand up, "Everyone stands aside." ”
Several people listened to her words and stood in the open space next to them in confusion, only to see Nan Yanxue standing sideways on the edge of the lake, she stretched out one arm, and the other slightly cast spells on the surface of the lake, the scarlet lake water in the lake rolled and rushed to the hole, just when the lake water reached the entrance of the cave, the water suddenly turned into ice cubes, and the bubbles were immediately punctured into a water vapor when they touched the ice cubes, and the catfish essence hiding in the middle of the bubbles was facing the flying ice cubes, and there was nowhere to dodge, so they could only be smashed by splitting their heads and covering their faces.
Yun Feng and the others outside the cave, seeing that the catfish essence could no longer spit bubbles, immediately rushed into the cave to cast a spell on it, Yun Feng pulled out the Xuanying sword and wanted to stab the catfish essence to death with a sword, but Ye Qingli blocked his sword with his hand.
"Don't kill it, wait until I put it into the Demon Refining Pot, and I can use it to refine weapons. Ye Qingli said and picked up the demon refining pot and put the catfish essence in, the catfish essence that was put into the demon refining pot still kept struggling, Ye Qingli cast a spell on the demon refining pot again, and it quieted down.
"Senior sister, didn't you learn healing techniques, how can you still attack?" Xiao Ziyi stood in front of Nan Yanxue and asked curiously.
"My trick is called Ice Prayer, it can condense water into ice, it is a kind of dark healing technique, I didn't expect it to be used, hehe......" Nan Yanxue said with a proud look, she could finally help a little.
"Awesome, awesome......" Xiao Ziyi said with his hands clenched into fists, pretending to admire.
Yun Feng walked to the mechanism in the cave, pressed the switch, and opened a stone door on the right side of the cave, and walked through the stone door, and there was still a gloomy stone cave inside.
Unlike the cave just now, the cave here has no light at all, and it is black, exuding a rotten musty smell.
"Why is it a stone cave again!" Nan Yanxue stood at the entrance of the cave with a desperate expression, and finally walked out of a stone cave and entered a more gloomy stone cave.
"There shouldn't be ghosts here!" Nan Yanxue has been afraid of the dark since she was a child, in her concept, these black places must be hidden ghosts, she has not seen what ghosts look like, she has seen in books that they like to wear white clothes and hang in the air, some have no heads, some have heads but have a long tongue, some have long hair, their eyes are bloody, they are pale, when they touch people, they will pinch the neck of the living and take them to the underworld.
Nan Yanxue couldn't help but shudder when she thought about the contents of the book, it was terrible, she didn't want to die so ugly.
Yun Feng found a torch at the entrance of the cave, lit the torch, the torch instantly illuminated the cave, inside was a long passage, the stone walls on both sides of the passage were covered with a layer of black things, Xiao Ziyi touched it with his hand, the covered dust fell down, and several people couldn't open their eyes.
"Don't touch it!" Yun Feng walked in front and said sharply, Xiao Ziyi was so frightened that he didn't dare to move anymore.
"Fiercer than the master. Xiao Ziyi followed behind Nan Yanxue and whispered.
A few people stared at the front and walked forward slowly, Nan Yanxue pulled the corner of Yunfeng's clothes, her nerves tensed, and when she walked to the middle of the passage, Nan Yanxue suddenly felt a softness under her feet, as if there was a living creature stepping on her feet.
"Ah......h
Yunfeng hurriedly turned his head and found that a mouse was trampled under Nan Yanxue's feet, Nan Yanxue saw the mouse under his feet clearly, and let out another scream, this thing was as terrible as a ghost.
She jumped and jumped and didn't know where to land, and the mouse ran away the moment she lifted her foot.
Yun Feng held her hand tightly to soothe her emotions, and after a long while, she calmed down, and the few people continued to move forward.
A few more turns along the passageway, at the end of the passage there was an empty room, surrounded by a stone wall made of stone bricks.
Several people searched the room for a long time, but found nothing, exited from the room, and there was a narrower secret passage on the right side of the room, this secret passage was particularly hidden, and it was not visible from the outside of the room at all, and it could only be seen when entering the room.
A few people walked slowly forward from the secret passage, the further forward the air became, the thinner the air became, the air emitted a strong smell of mold, and another room appeared in the middle of the secret passage, and there was a long boulder in the room, covered with a thick layer of ash, Bai Yifan looked carefully on the boulder, the boulder was square, but there was no word on it.
"It's strange, who is here to build such a stone, and what is the purpose?" Bai Yifan muttered to himself at the boulder.
Ye Qingli and Yun Feng were also carefully inspecting the surrounding stone walls.
Just when a few people were carefully checking, a mouse jumped out from behind the boulder, Nan Yanxue was frightened, and hit the boulder at once, the side of the boulder seemed to have a switch touched, and a lid suddenly opened on it, and everyone found out that the boulder was a sarcophagus.
In the sarcophagus lay a young woman in a bright red wedding dress, several people leaned up to take a look, the woman suddenly opened her eyes and stared at the few people in front of her......
