Chapter 156: A Pool of Water
The faint green pool water reflected Zuo Tianyou's anxious face, and the humidity slowly rose, and there was a slight smell of medicine when he smelled it carefully.
This is a secret realm, many things are weird and mysterious, like the divine sense that was originally used very well on the ground, since it entered the crack in the ground, it has been inexplicably unable to come out, so that this way can only go in the dark. Even the divine consciousness will be suppressed and unable to be used underground, so it is not surprising that there are some things in this piece of water, but the medicinal gas emitted from the water is very incomprehensible, could it be that someone put something in the water?
Zuo Tianyou was a little wary of this Wang Tan Shui, because after all, he had experienced too many strange things along the way, and the landscapes and trees in this place were all weird, and the common sense of life before was not used here. And not only that, but many seemingly ordinary things often bring many crises, which is really difficult to prevent. According to previous experience, if you encounter something you haven't seen before, if you can be careful, it is better to be careful.
Before a thought could be cleared up, the Gu worms had already crawled over from outside the stone gate behind them, each of them vibrating their short wings, making a dull and irritating "buzzing" sound.
Or hide in the water, or find another way out. Standing here is just waiting to die!
Zuo Tianyou was in crisis, but he still couldn't help but sigh: Life in the secret realm is probably the most difficult thing to keep!
His gaze first looked across the water to the opposite side, but there was no exit except for the craggy stone wall, and now the cave was clearly illuminated by Yu Ruyi, and he didn't see any handwriting left on the stone when he looked around.
This is probably an extremely hidden cultivation ground, otherwise if there is an exit, how should these skeletons be explained? And there was a mark on the stone gate that came in, but how could there be no one inside? Maybe these people had another exit, or could return the same way, otherwise, like these dead people, they couldn't find a way out, so they could only be trapped underground in this secret realm.
Ordinary low-level cultivators will not enter the retreat for more than ten days at most, and after a long time, they will eventually become weak and die of dehydration.
Thinking of this, Zuo Tianyou felt that life and death were uncertain when he entered this stone cave, and it was not necessarily much better than not turning into a fork in the road, and his heart suddenly sank.
He turned his head to look behind him again, and found that the army of dark and fierce Gu worms had accumulated more and more, he hurriedly drove them away with his hands, but the speed of the Gu worms was too fast, and no matter how fast Ren Zuo Tianyou swept and swept vertically, he couldn't match their surging attack speed.
It's better to gamble!
Zuo Tianyou looked at the green pool in front of him again, gritted his teeth, his heart was horizontal, and he plunged into the water with a "plop".
The water in the pool was cold and biting, and Zuo Tianyou, who had just stepped out of the water, suddenly felt as if his blood from head to toe was about to freeze.
Wipe it! Such cold water doesn't freeze over! Those who fall in it will freeze to death if they don't drown!
Zuo Tianyou gritted his teeth and twisted his body, wanting to relax the muscles that suddenly tightened, he planned to go deep into the pool, lest the Gu worms on the shore also jump into the water.
However, these insects are accumulating more and more on the shore, and they did not jump into the water because of Zuo Tianyou, but also jumped into the water, as if they had an instinctive fear of this pool of water, they were impatient and fanned their wings on the shore, making a kind of headache-making noise, Zuo Tianyou was already cold and stiff, his head was frozen tightly, and he was urged by the cry of this insect, and his temples seemed to be beaten with a sledgehammer, and finally he couldn't bear it, and he took back the jade Ruyi hanging in mid-air, took a breath, and completely plunged into the depths of the pool.
The center of the pool was not as close to the shore as it seemed just now, and Zuo Tianyou swam hard for a while before he touched a stone he saw on the shore.
The water here feels less cold, but the smell of medicine is stronger, Zuo Tianyou was choked and coughed, almost choking the water into his lungs, thinking that it was the same pool of water, and the change was so big.
Entering the center of the pool, Zuo Tianyou obviously felt that the water under his feet had some temperature, although the medicine was heavy, but the whole body slowly warmed up, but he didn't know what was wrong on his back, and it was a little itchy and uncomfortable.
He scratched his back with his backhand for a while, but he was surprised to find that the skin and flesh on his back that had been bitten by Gu worms were now all good, and they were still very smooth to the touch.
When he first touched it, he still couldn't believe it, thinking that it was wrong, he hurriedly stretched out his hands, and when he touched it again, the wounds on his hands were healed, and not even a scar fell.
How is this possible! I am a mortal body, and I have to cultivate and recover from my internal strength, so it will take a few days for such a skin injury to heal, not to mention that the skin is completely healed!
No! there must be something strange here.
Zuo Tianyou poked his head out of the water, wiped the water on his face, and stood up his ears to listen, the insects were still noisy, but he reached out and paddled a few times on the water surface to find out if there were any insects swimming over.
Could it be that this pool of water has healing properties?
In the past, Zuo Tianyou had used the well water in the backyard of the inn to temper his body, and he had some understanding of the forging bones in this cultivation world. At that time, he felt that his skin, flesh, muscles and bones were in pain, and the well water seemed to be full of chili peppers, and the pain made people feel full of fire and gasp for breath. But the water here is cold and biting, and there is no other feeling than making people's teeth chatter and muscles tight.
Zuo Tianyou had some doubts that he had been fighting and killing all the way, injured countless times, his nerves had become numb, and he had fled all the way to dodge, and his mind was not at all on the minor illnesses and pains in his body.
After only a few moments, he noticed that his body immersed in the water had a fine pain of being stung by a large number of bees, and the more he meditated, the stronger the pain became. It didn't take long for the escalating pain to make Zuo Tianyou's forehead covered with beads of sweat, and his breathing became short.
This water does have the effect of refining the body.
Although Zuo Tianyou felt that the pain in his body this time was different from the last time, such an intrusive pain and the feeling of meridian growth were all feelings that could only be felt by refining the body.
But at this time, the pain in my back and hands became even worse. Zuo Tianyou put aside the matter of forging the body first, and carefully identified the location, he found that all the itchy places were bitten by insects.
This skin and flesh have grown, why is it still so itchy and unbearable?
The itching and pain made Zuo Tianyou couldn't help but keep scratching his back and palms, and he scratched and felt that something seemed to be writhing under his smooth skin.
Zuo Tianyou dived into the aquatic weeds, raised his hand and slammed the jade ruyi in the water.
Although Yu Ruyi entered the water, her speed was no slower than that on the shore, and she flew away without a trace in a single swish.
Rub it! I will be completely finished when I hit my head on a stone in the water!
Zuo Tianyou didn't finish scolding his mother in his heart, but he heard a loud "bang", and a stream of muddy water mixed with a large amount of gravel rushed over.
Zuo Tianyou quickly closed his eyes.
