Chapter Ninety-Three: The Phantom of the Deep Lake
Hearing Shangguan Ying's voice, Ye Chengyun and Yi Jiaoxiang, Liang Yi, and Zhang Qingfeng all looked in the direction that Shangguan Ying was pointing at.
Not far in front of the left, among the dense vines like a forest, there were three corpses hanging there, their heads and limbs were entangled in vines, and the two arms of one of the corpses were even torn off.
Around the vines, there was a large area of bright red blood, which was miserable.
Everyone was shocked, and Cao Wen shouted, "That's Zhang Sheng! And Zhao Bin and Li Li, how could they be here?"
Yi Jiao asked, "Do you recognize these people?"
Cao Wen replied: "They are my neighbors, and yesterday we discussed to see if we could find a way to find the children of each family." ”
Yi Jiaoxiang thought for a moment and said: "It seems that they should have come here to look for children, but they didn't expect to fall into the tiger's mouth......"
Cao Wen sighed: "I dissuaded them many times yesterday, don't act recklessly, why don't they listen." ”
Ye Chengyun saw the tragic situation of those three people, and thought to himself that those missing children must be more and less lucky, and this time to take the risk, I am afraid it will not be too smooth.
Liang Yi in front urged: "Let's hurry up and find those children as soon as possible, if we delay for a moment, they will be more dangerous." ”
They quickened a few steps and crawled along the vines towards the island above.
The higher they went, the more frightened they became, for they soon found several more bodies, all of them entangled in vines, almost all of them mutilated, most of them decomposing, and they did not know when they were killed.
The smell of corpses came to his nose, Yi Jiaoxiang looked at those corpses and asked, "Brother Cao, are these people also from your village?"
Cao Wen shook his head: "These people are not from our village, they are likely to be from other nearby villages. I don't know why they came here, maybe they came to see it like a big cow. ”
"The ignorant are not guilty. Ye Chengyun sneered, "Bold people are either particularly shrewd and brave, or they are particularly stupid." ”
After walking for a while, more shocking sights came into view, and one corpse after another seemed to be fruit from a vine, which could be seen everywhere.
This small island held up by vines looks like a lamp from a distance, and now that they are in it, Ye Chengyun and the others faintly feel that it is actually an altar, and those innocent villagers who are entangled in vines and killed are all sacrifices on this altar.
Ye Chengyun didn't know much about the altar, and in his impression, all that was needed to set up an altar was the altar, the sacrifice, and the caster who manipulated the altar.
Right now, all of these conditions are in place, and there can be no mistake in this case.
This vine demon took a lot of trouble to build such an altar to cultivate the demon law?
Ye Chengyun was thinking about it, when he suddenly heard the sound of rushing water below, and hurriedly looked down, and saw that the water was already rolling on the water, and the lake seemed to be boiling, and his heart jumped.
At this time, Liang Yi shouted, "Everyone be careful, this demon is likely to have sensed our existence. ”
It was too late to say it, and as soon as Liang Yi's words fell, a large splash of water burst up, and I don't know how many vines were like tentacles, suddenly flying out of the water and rolling directly towards Ye Chengyun and the others.
Ye Chengyun pretended to be shocked, and said in fear: "This demon wants to hang us up, everyone, I don't have any cultivation, I will flee first, and you will find a way to deal with these vines." ”
After speaking, he didn't discuss with others, and walked away on his own.
Yi Jiao couldn't take care of it, so he hurriedly jumped on a vine next to him, and after standing firm, he turned back to Shangguan Ying and said, "You go up with them first, I'll stay behind and drag these vines!"
Shangguan Ying did not hesitate, and ran forward with vigorous steps until she caught up with Zhang Qingfeng in front.
Liang Yi, who was walking in the front, went around to the side, letting Ye Chengyun, Cao Wen, Zhang Qingfeng and Shangguan Ying flee for their lives one after another, while he, like Yi Jiaoxiang, stayed behind and broke off.
Yi Jiao saw that Ye Chengyun and the others had gone farther and farther, and those tentacles-like vines had approached in the blink of an eye, and he hurriedly shouted to Liang Yi: "Brother Liang, it is really a blessing to fight side by side with you today, be careful, we will let this demon suffer a little." ”
"Yes, this demon bumped into us today, which is considered bad luck. “
Several vines snag and flew like whips, and when the first vine hit, Yi Jiao grabbed the vine in front of him and swung it aside, then the second vine flung over, and Yi Jiao swung back.
Liang Yi also dodged left and right, easily dodging a wave of attacks from the vines, taking advantage of the free time when the vines reversed back, he said to Yi Jiao: "We fight and retreat, it is not appropriate to fight with it for a long time." ”
These vines are controlled by the spiritual power of the vine demon, and they are lifeless, and it is not wise to die with them. Climb to the island above as soon as possible and find the vine demon deity, the first choice.
On the other side, Ye Chengyun took the lead in the charge, leading Zhang Qingfeng, Cao Wen and Shangguan Ying to climb up the island, and finally stood firm on the ground on the island, and the vines below naturally did not catch up.
Cao Wen and Shangguan Ying both bent down and gasped for breath, Zhang Qingfeng wiped his sweat and said: "This vine demon is also too deceitful, and when I find it later, I will definitely use a fire spell to burn it completely." ”
Ye Chengyun looked around and said: "This island is only one mile in circumference, the terrain is flat, there is nothing to obstruct it, it stands to reason that if the vine demon is on it, it should be able to find it at a glance."
"However, now that we are here, there is no trace of the vine demon, and there is no abnormal movement, which is very strange. ”
Zhang Qingfeng said: "I'm afraid that the vine demon is extremely cunning and knows that we are coming to trouble it, so he hides." It wants to sneak up on us in the shadows, just as it had had been sticking vines out of the water before. ”
Ye Chengyun nodded: "In short, it's better to be careful." ”
Cao Wen said loudly at this time: "Everyone, please look, there is a small pond in front!"
The small pond in front is located in the middle of the island, and according to the arrangement of the altar, the caster should be in the center of the altar, so it is very likely that the vine demon is in the small pond.
Ye Chengyun wanted to understand this, so he said to Zhang Qingfeng: "I think that small pond is a little strange. ”
Zhang Qingfeng couldn't see anything, and when he heard Ye Chengyun say this, he couldn't help but be suspicious.
"You guys wait here, I'll go over and see what's going on. He said to the people, "If anything is wrong, flee first, and leave me alone." So saying, he walked cautiously towards the small pond in the middle.
Ye Chengyun smiled secretly in his heart: Stunned, if there is really an ambush, who will die if you don't die? Hmph, it's none of my business anyway......
Cao Wen was not at ease, so he followed and said, "Shaoxia, I will accompany you to the past, so I can take care of it." ”
"Okay, be careful yourself. Zhang Qingfeng nodded and continued to walk forward.
The two slowly approached the small pond. When he was halfway through, Zhang Qingfeng suddenly stopped and said loudly: "Everyone be careful! Don't doubt it anymore, the vine demon is in the pond, and the closer it gets, the stronger its demonic aura becomes." ”
The sudden reminder startled Cao Wen, he eased his nerves, and continued to follow the nervous breeze.
"This demon ......" Ye Chengyun behind him raised his eyebrows and muttered, "What are you doing hiding in the pond, what are you doing famously......"
Suddenly, the mountains shook, and the small pond in front of them moved. The water there seemed to boil in an instant, and the tumbling waves were more than three feet high!
When Cao Wen saw this, he was immediately stunned.
"It's ...... Youkai, youkai are coming out!" he shouted, pulling out the wood knife from his waist, his whole body tensed.
Zhang Qingfeng stopped again, stared at the small pond, and pondered: "This demon...... What kind of conspiracy is this vine demon playing?"
Before he could figure it out, a vine that came out of nowhere swooped struck, suddenly wrapped around his feet, and immediately lifted him into the air.
Cao Wen was frightened and was about to go over to rescue, when he suddenly felt a tightness in his ankles, and his feet were also entangled in vines. He tried to break free, but to no avail, and then, like Zhang Qingfeng, was lifted into the air and hung upside down.
Seeing this, Shangguan Ying in the back exclaimed, and wanted to rush forward to help.
Ye Chengyun shouted: "Don't go over! This is a trap!"
Shangguan Ying immediately froze, anxious and at a loss.
Her cultivation is not high, she is only at the beginning of the first glimpse of the realm, that is, she has just started, she has no ability at all, and it is absolutely impossible to be the opponent of the vine demon, and her past words will only increase the trouble.
Now, Zhang Qingfeng and Cao Wen's situation is extremely bad, the true body of the vine demon has not yet appeared, and the two of them are subdued, how can this be good?
The only one to rely on is Ye Chengyun, but Ye Chengyun doesn't seem to be in a hurry to make a move. Moreover, in Shangguan Ying's opinion, Ye Chengyun has no cultivation like her.
In an instant, more vines sprung up all around, dense and dancing wildly, and the whole island seemed to be surrounded by vines.
Ye Chengyun was still indifferent, and Cao Wen, who was trapped there, shouted first: "This vine is very powerful, the steel is still hard, and my knife can't hurt it." ”
Zhang Qingfeng said angrily: "My magic tricks are useless, what's the use of your broken wood knife!"
Ye Chengyun knew that the vine demon used spiritual power to control the vines, and ordinary sharp weapons had no effect on the vines, and the magic trick was not strong enough, so it could not hurt it.
For today's plan, I'm afraid I can only try it with the Binding Immortal Rope.
However, as soon as the Immortal Binding Rope came out, it would inevitably cause trouble, which made Ye Chengyun hesitate.
At this time, the small pond appeared abnormally again.
The boiling water slowly turned black, and there was a corridor in the water, which was becoming huge little by little.
It seems to be dark, but it is deeper than darkness!
"Wow!"
A giant shadow leaped out of the water, growing in height and growing in size...... The countless vines on his body are growing wildly, stretching ......
