Chapter 703: Island, Red Lotus
The space is dim, misty, there is not too much color, there is not too much sound, everything around is quiet, as if time has stood still.
In the dim light, there seemed to be a piece of land in the distance, and it was only vaguely recognizable that it was indeed a land.
But it is not flat, and the land is not large, only a few hundred zhang square, not so much land, but more like an island.
In the center of the island, there is a mountain that is not too high, but it occupies almost the entire island, and on the peak, there is a faint red light flashing, like a ruby in the sun, occasionally flashing brilliant brilliance, adding a moving color to this ghostly space.
Be quiet.
Absolute silence.
Everything in front of you is like a still painting, and this state seems to last forever until eternity.
I don't know how long it has been, it seems to be an illusion, and it seems to have really happened, the red light above the top of the mountain suddenly bloomed, like the rising red sun, full of radiance, and it was also like a dazzling strange flower blooming buds, overflowing with brilliance.
Through the fleeting brilliance, it can be vaguely seen that this seems to be an infinite space, and that island is the only piece of land in this airborne.
And, surprisingly, this island is not floating in the sea like a normal island, it is floating alone in space!
The bright light that appeared on the top of the mountain was fleeting, and the space returned to its previous appearance again, as if nothing had happened just now.
If our eyes can penetrate the stone wall of the island peak, we will find that this place is indeed different, and the different place is that there are three fainting people inside the peak.
Inside the impregnable peak, there was actually a space that was not too big, and the three of them were lying there scattered at this time.
There are animal tendons connected to their bodies, and the three of them are worried that they will be scattered, so they connect several of them to each other.
Where the three of them lay was a fiery red pool of steaming fiery red viscous liquid.
The liquid in the pool was originally dissatisfied, but at this time, the three of them poured it indiscriminately, and it just happened to drown most of their bodies, and the liquid did not overflow.
In the middle of the pool, there is a white rhizome the thickness of a baby's arm, and when I got closer, I realized that the so-called rhizome was actually a three-section lotus root!
The lotus root is white and pure, without a trace of scarring, and blooms with a misty white light, rippling in the red pool water, like an extremely beautiful work of art.
And on the rhizome of the lotus root, there is also a turquoise tube full of small thorns on the top, about the thickness of a finger, which extends upwards until it finally disappears into the darkness, and it is unknown.
The red viscous pool water seemed to have a very high temperature, and as soon as it came into contact, the ropes on the bodies of the three people had already been burned.
I thought that they would not be spared, but I didn't expect that there was a trace of white light on their bodies at this time.
Although the white light was not dazzling or much, it was only attached to the surface of the body, but it also blocked the erosion of the red liquid.
After a while, the whole person was lying face down, his face pressed against the two white lotus roots, and above his right arm, there was a red light flowing out, and then, a toad two inches in size with golden spots on his body probed out of his brain.
Looking around, a pair of flame-formed eyes were full of surprise.
The next moment, its two hind legs gently kicked on the young man's arm, and the whole thing was submerged in the red liquid, wandering excitedly.
From time to time, he also sneaked into the red liquid, opened his mouth, and devoured the red liquid here.
As it continued to devour, the toad's body continued to grow, and the golden spots on its back became more and more dazzling.
I don't know how long this action lasted, but the jasper-like pillar above the white lotus root seemed to be moving slightly.
But here the red water is swaying, the light is shaking, the ripples are lapping against the edge of the pool, and it is normal for the lotus root pole to be affected and shake.
But when a lotus bud the size of a bowl appeared on the lotus root stem, all this was confirmed, and it was not an illusion!
It's the rod of the lotus root, which is indeed moving, and I don't know how it is done, or if it is shrinking back!
Otherwise, the lotus root that had not been able to see where it had led before would not have been able to see the top at this time.
The lotus rod was still shrinking, and the three people below were still unconscious, showing no sign of waking up.
The greedy fiery red toad almost fused with the fiery red liquid, still devouring, digesting and absorbing the fiery red liquid, and was not aware of these changes at all.
The lotus buds continued to shrink silently, and when they were about three feet above the water, they stopped contracting.
It stopped there, no longer moving, and after a while, the outermost ordinary petals trembled slightly, like the eyelashes of a girl who had just woken up in the morning but still had a little sleep.
A small but dazzling light poked out like sunlight piercing through thick dark clouds, piercing through this not too large space.
The light gradually became more dazzling, and it became bigger and bigger, and it didn't take long for a red lotus the size of a face plate to bloom completely.
As it bloomed, there were bursts of vague Sanskrit sounds, and around it, there were flames burning silently, setting off the entire red lotus extremely dusty.
It's just that this scene, except for a red black spirit fire with a little intelligence that can transform into a toad, no one saw it, and naturally, there was no exclamation or applause.
The lotus flower opened quietly, slim, but the flame toad forgot to continue to devour the liquid in the pool, poked his head out and looked at the red lotus blankly, not knowing what to do for a while.
The flames around the red lotus were shaking gently, like the morning glow was better than the flames, because there was no temperature coming out.
Things are all transformed into each other, and the waves are all born from calm, and whether it is stormy waves or high spirits, they will eventually return to a calm state again, and then begin to nurture strength and continue to be strong for the next burst.
For example, this dusty red lotus, while seemingly calm, used the surrounding flames like lightning to roll up the toad in the pool, wrapped it in the heart of the flower, and then completely closed it.
In fact, it originally wanted to devour the three unconscious people below into the heart of the flower, but the flame was blocked by the white light on the three of them.
