Chapter 212: The Mystery of the Mirror Pool
Looking along the stone pier, the puddles are connected, and there is not the slightest sign of corruption around, and at the end of the stone pier is a mirror-like lake, without any impurities, like the purest thing in the world. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
It's just that Lou Yi felt creepy, because this place is really strange, there is not the slightest vegetation around, looking down, the lake water is pure and abnormal, but the lake is not covered with aquatic plants, but endless white bones.
These white bones are not all humans, there are many strange-shaped monsters, the largest of which is the corpse of the ebony swamp frog, which almost covers the bottom of the lake below, and in the crevices of these corpses, there are a large number of bloody leeches.
These leeches were even more terrifying than the ones he had encountered, because in addition to their fangs, they also released a blood poison that, once bitten by them, would spread rapidly along the bloodstream, and the bitten prey would eventually die because of the bleeding.
However, this is only one of the terrible parts, and what is even more terrifying is that if they are bitten by a female blood leech, they will inject a large number of leech eggs into the prey through their mouthparts, and they will quickly hatch in the bloodstream.
Hundreds of small leeches are like a scene in the body, I am afraid that anyone will collapse when they see it, not to mention that they will brutally squeeze every drop of blood out of the prey's body, and finally break out of the shriveled corpse, and all this happens while the prey is alive.
Now in the lake below, there are tens of thousands of leeches, and even more in number, waiting for the moment when their prey enters the water.
Lou Yi carefully observed these stone piers, thinking about who built all this, could it be that there are some unknown secrets hidden in this ebony spirit valley.
Lou Yi saw that Bai Xin's body was trembling, which was an instinctive reaction born of fear, and he spoke, "Senior, the white girl seems to be very scared, why don't you wait here with her, how about I try it first?"
"No, absolutely not!"
Unexpectedly, Pulsatilla's face changed instantly, he seemed to have thought of something terrible, Lou Yi seemed to have thought of something, and his eyes looked at the raised stone piers.
Originally, he hadn't paid close attention to these stone piers, but when he looked at them again, he finally found something unusual, these things that looked like stone piers were all huge bones.
This discovery made Lou Yi shudder, what the hell was going on, he looked into the distance again, the continuous stone piers twisted and twisted, extending to the depths of the lake, and these stone piers had a total of two rows, about a hundred meters apart.
He seemed to think of something, and his eyes looked at the bottom of the water again, and then he realized that the stone piers were not straight up, but the lower position seemed to be bent into the corpses.
It's just that his eyes were refracted through the water before, so he didn't pay much attention to this, but now that he suddenly understood everything, he suddenly felt a shudder.
At this time, he turned around and looked behind him, and the surrounding landscape appeared in front of his eyes again, the curved passage, extending to the outside, and Lou Yi's face became more and more ugly.
He seemed to understand what this place was, and he also knew what the stone pier was made of, and this discovery made him shudder.
This so-called Rotten Swamp Mirror Pond was actually formed after the death of a Void Swallowing Worm, and this Void Swallowing Worm has been dead for at least a hundred years, so the surrounding environment has changed.
The corpse of those ebony swamp frogs is just the excrement of this swallowing worm after eating, its body dissolved after death, and its body fluids formed the current mirror pool, because it is its own body fluids, so its bones have not been eroded, which formed two rows of stone piers.
The black jade golden lotus is a poisonous nemesis, and it is naturally not afraid to swallow the body fluids of the void snake, so it has become the only thing that can survive in this mirror pool.
After figuring out all kinds of tricks, Lou Yi couldn't help but gasp, he finally understood why Bai Xin was so scared, and why Pulsatilla tried his best to stop him.
Pulsatilla is also a wind spirit vein, and his cultivation is far beyond him, and even he can't get the black jade golden lotus, which is enough to prove that there must be something terrifying hidden in this calm mirror pool.
Lou Yi took out a piece of stored bacon from the storage bag and threw it forward, the bacon drew a parabola, and flew perfectly into the distance, but an amazing scene happened immediately.
I saw that the bacon quickly decomposed in the process of flight at a speed visible to the naked eye, and a strange blue-green flame was wrapped around it.
Lou Yi's face suddenly became ugly, no wonder it was so quiet here, no wonder there were no biological vegetation here, the body fluids of the swallowing void worm were too domineering, and the gas produced was extremely acidic, and all the creatures close to Jingtan were either corroded by acid gas, or fell into Jingtan and were devoured by blood storm leeches.
And those Moyu Jinlian are just bait, attracting those greedy people Moths to the fire, Lou Yi is calculating the distance between this place and Moyu Jinlian, thinking and thinking about it, there is no way to rush over and return in one breath.
His brain told the operation, countless messages flashed in his mind, and several other people looked at him and closed their eyes, no one bothered him, Pulsatilla was actually not optimistic about Lou Yi, because even he, a monk with wind and aura, could not successfully retrieve the Moyu Golden Lotus.
After about five minutes, Lou Yi opened his eyes, touched the storage ring placed on his chest, a blue light flashed, and Lou Yi had a very beautiful set of protective gear on his body.
Several people all looked at Qingjiao, there were not many sets of protective gear, and Lou Yi's set looked very peculiar, even Xu Weiyi stared at it non-stop, looking very curious.
Lou Yi moved his hands and feet, he took out a large number of paper talismans one after another, mainly to speed up and protect, it can be said that he armed himself to the teeth, but he felt that it was still not enough insurance, and put two pills of restoring aura in his mouth.
He wasn't sure what he would encounter later, but he could tell from the look on Pulsatilla's face that there must be danger ahead.
Lou Yi took a deep breath, and under the gaze of several people, he suddenly turned into a blue light and rushed straight to the mirror pool in front of him.
As a result, as soon as the person stepped on the stone pier, Lou Yi discovered a very terrifying thing, that is, in addition to being able to corrode, this bodily fluid can also distort people's vision.
Lou Yi saw that the scenery in front of him was completely distorted, like a swaying strip of cloth, fortunately, he had calculated all this, and at this moment he directly closed his eyes and completely relied on his divine sense to guide himself.
There was a boiling sound from below, and the water in the mirror pool began to churn endlessly, and a large number of black-red blood leeches swarmed from the mirror pool the moment he stepped on the stone pier.
The number was far more terrifying than Lou Yi imagined, because the entire Mirror Pool turned into a black-red whirlpool, and a large number of blood storm leeches spit out the body fluids of the Void Swallowing Worm in the Mirror Pond towards Lou Yi, trying to force him back to the water.
At this time, Lou Yi activated the speed charm attached to his leg, and his speed suddenly doubled, and his body was like a cyan lightning, flashing against the water surface of the mirror pool, and those bloody leeches pounced into the air, but he didn't intend to give up.
They launched a big encirclement, chasing Lou Yi's figure, and followed him to swim towards the depths of the mirror pool, and from a distance, it looked like a big black and red snake, swimming quickly in the water, very terrifying.
Xu Weiyi's pupils were replaced by golden light, and she always watched Lou Yi's every move, for fear that he would have an accident on the way, the aura here made her very uncomfortable, and she always felt that something bad would happen.
Lou Yi walked all the way, the paper talisman attached to his body kept slipping from his body, he knew that if he continued like this, his body would lose its protection, and as a last resort, he was finally forced to unfold the blue and white flowers, but the wood aura was almost half the work for these body fluids.
Bodily fluids can be said to be a piece of cake for corroding these wood aura, if he can, he will definitely not choose such a stupid method, but now that the situation is critical, he must ensure that he can enter the depths of the mirror pool and come back alive.
This is the most important thing, but at present, the aura consumed is still within the controllable range, and the pill in his mouth has not been taken by him.
Getting closer and closer to the target, Lou Yi saw a ray of light, but at this moment, his figure shook violently, and a huge sense of crisis suddenly enveloped his whole body.
At this time, Xu Weiyi's eyes opened violently, his body turned into a brilliant white light, and he rushed into the mirror pool at an almost teleportation speed.
"Yuan Ying... Yuan Infancy!" Pulsatilla said in a lost voice.
Only a monk in the Yuan Infant Stage can do it, and of course it may be a monk who is higher than the Yuan Infant Stage, but Xu Weiyi looks like he is only sixteen or seventeen years old, and his cultivation cannot exceed the Yuan Infant.
But this is enough to shock him, you must know that the demon cultivators of the Yuan Infant Stage are almost invincible in this Northern Palace, unless the Yuan Infant Monks of the major sects rob and kill together, it is possible to balance them.
But the body of the demon clan is extremely strong, and each demon clan has a natural talent, and it is not so easy to deal with, here suddenly met a demon cultivator in the infancy stage, and it is also the nine-tailed fox clan at the apex of the demon clan, you can imagine the shock of Pulsatilla's heart.
And Bai Xin's whole person was stunned, looking at Xu Weiyi's back blankly, with bitterness in her eyes, she knew that she might not have a chance, cultivation, appearance, background, she was not as good as the other party, she sighed faintly, and the person also looked a little listless.
Pulsatilla heard her sigh, touched her head dotingly, and said comfortingly, "Xin'er girl, don't be sad, this son is extraordinary, and it is not suitable for you......"
Bai Xin nodded a little aggrieved, burying her extravagant hope in the bottom of her heart, but she secretly swore that she would repay Engong for saving his life no matter what in this life, no matter what way it was.
Pulsatilla saw the stubbornness in her eyes, sighed unbearably, and looked up into the distance again, this Miss Xu, so anxious, I'm afraid it's that kid, something dangerous has happened, he can't help but be a little worried, and wants to go in and take a look.
