Chapter 12: Exploring the Depths of the Pool

Lush green mountains, heavy mountains, birdsong tactful, green grass, and the fragrant fragrance refreshes people's hearts. After a few days of running, Long Xu came to the Evil Tiger Pond again, and at this moment, he came to this place of great murder again, but he no longer had the feeling of palpitations in the past.

The Evil Tiger Pond was the same as before, a dark quagmire was dead silent, and from time to time there were violent aura fluctuations around it. Long Xu thought in his heart that this mysterious cobblestone was here that he saved his life that day, and he has been carrying it with him since then. Could it be that all the visions near this evil tiger pond are related to the cobblestone? Since I have come here today, I naturally want to investigate it carefully. As the saying goes, there must be treasures in the land of great evil, maybe today I can bump into the great luck in this place of great luck and get a few treasures against the sky.

"Maybe I should go down and see what happened, it's not for nothing. Long Xu muttered to himself, then lowered his head and said to the round stone on his chest, "Since you were able to shelter me from the death at the beginning, then you should be able to let me enter this evil tiger pool safely today, right?"

However, Long Xu immediately felt a little funny, and actually talked to himself about a stone. Just as Long Xu was in the ideological struggle of whether or not to enter the Black Evil Tiger Pool, the round stone on his chest unexpectedly released a faint halo, and the halo slowly enveloped Long Xu's body. Immediately afterwards, an old voice came to Long Xu's mind, "Go in and out freely, keep you safe." ”

Long Xu was stunned for a moment, and immediately released his divine sense to the surroundings, but found that there was no one. Surprised, Long Xu infiltrated part of his divine sense into the spirit stone on his chest, and he didn't see anyone, so he said to himself: "Strange, who is talking to me." After many investigations, he released his divine sense and did not see the existence of others, so Long Xu came back to his senses and carefully examined the halo around his body.

The thin layer of light around the body looked like a crystal armor, and this halo also scattered not very powerful aura fluctuations, but the grass and trees where the halo shone were all down. Long Xu was also magical, and then carefully tried to poke out his right foot and stepped into the black quagmire of the Evil Tiger Pool, and a miraculous thing happened, the muddy water under Long Xu's feet in the pool automatically separated into a waterway under the influence of the halo. Cautiously poking out his left foot, the muddy water of the Evil Tiger Pond was also automatically separated under the influence of that halo, which did not affect Long Xu's actions at all, and now Long Xu's whole person was firmly suspended in the muddy water of the Evil Tiger Pool.

Sure enough, there are many amazing things about this round stone, and it really is a great opportunity for me. Long Xu suppressed the excitement in his heart, and walked cautiously towards the bottom of the pool. The effect of the halo formed by the cobblestone should not be underestimated, and Long Xu formed an independent environment, completely isolated from the surrounding pool.

At this time, entering the depths of this evil tiger pond made Long Xu feel even more surprised, the upper half of the entire quagmire was covered with a lot of black mud, dead leaves, broken branches and even some animal corpses, the whole environment was as black as ink, but the lower half was almost clear water, and the visibility was much better. That day, Long Xu fell into the Evil Tiger Pool, and it was completely dark in the pool, and he couldn't see his five fingers, so he fell into the upper half of the pool.

However, there are still some scenes that make Long Xu a little confused, the bottom of the Evil Tiger Pond has accumulated thick human and animal corpses, many of which have long been completely decayed, and there are several ragged corpses that have been blistered not far away, judging from the clothes, they should be people from the Sky Splitting Sword Gate. Long Xu stepped forward to investigate, and found that the corpses of the same senior brothers were naturally full of mixed feelings in his heart, thinking about the nine senior brothers who came out together after this sudden change, only himself and Senior Brother Yue Feng survived, and the fragility of life is really embarrassing.

Then Long Xu turned over the corpses, and finally found Yue Feng's body next to the sunken dart car, which surprised Long Xu. The face of the cold corpse soaked in the water was swollen, but it could be vaguely discerned that it was indeed Yue Feng.

Could it be that there are still two Yue Feng in the world, unless the one inside the Sky Splitting Sword Gate is an impostor...... , Long Xu remembered that Yue Feng was responsible for selecting the specific route to escort the pill that day, because the way to Ten Thousand Swords City was not far, close to the sphere of influence of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, all the elders followed, and Yue Feng, as a disciple of the inner gate, naturally became the supreme leader of the task of escorting the pill, and all matters were decided by Yue Feng alone. But Yue Feng chose the dangerous route of the Evil Tiger Pond, which is really incredible.

The Evil Tiger Pond is a place of great evil, full of all kinds of unknown dangers. As an experienced Yue Feng, he would not be unaware of this, the only possibility was that Yue Feng deliberately wanted to let the escort pill mission have an accident.

After carefully examining Yue Feng's corpse, Long Xu did not find anything particularly abnormal, the corpse was not injured, and according to the comprehensive condition of the corpse, it was completely due to suffocation. Suddenly, Long Xu found something strange from the already swollen corpse, and the facial folds of the corpse seemed to be very unnatural. Long Xu touched the face of the corpse with his hand, but a small piece of skin fell off the face.

Hmm, what's going on? A strong doubt rose in Long Xu's heart. Long Xu used his hand to put a slight force on the corpse's face along the edge of the fallen skin, and unexpectedly tore off a layer of skin from the corpse's cheek. Although the face was already swollen under the skin, it was very obvious that it was definitely not the Yue Feng that Long Xu knew. Fake! Long Xu found that this so-called Yue Feng's corpse was actually pretended by someone else, and Long Xu immediately understood that this must be a substitute for Yue Feng's guy who had been looking for a substitute for the dead early in the morning.

Long Xu stepped forward again and saw the cowhide pouch containing the elixir, and now the seal on the pouch was still intact. The Ji family will naturally arrange for someone to count the level, quantity and quality of the pill when they buy pills from the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, and then place a seal on the bag to be regarded as recognition, and then the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate will be responsible for sending the pills and the list to the Ouyang family in Mufeng City as agreed, and the Ouyang family will lift the seal and check it. forcibly broke the seal and opened the cowhide pouch, but the inside of the pouch made Long Xu even more dumbfounded, all of them were stones the size of pebbles!

After quietly thinking about all the clues found in the Evil Tiger Pond, all the suspicious points in front of him pointed at Yue Feng, and it also proved that Long Xu had always guessed in his heart that this time the pill escort mission was really not as simple as he imagined. Now it seems that the entire person who is planning behind the scenes should not have thought that anyone would dare to risk their lives to come to this fierce place, Evil Tiger Pond, to check the corpse and check the elixir, as long as someone declares the accident to the outside world, everything that happens here will only be regarded as an accident, and no one will suspect at all, let alone investigate. Long Xu speculated that it was very likely that Yue Feng wanted to swallow the elixir worth two million spars when he saw his wealth, so he privately spent money to hire a substitute ghost, and then single-handedly planned this accident.

However, after thinking about it, Long Xu denied his idea again, these pills are the dowry of Ji Yingying, the young lady of the Ji family in Wanjian City, and it is unlikely that anyone within a radius of Wolong Mountain will dare to pay attention to this dowry alone. If you want to rob money without any or low risk, then you can change the target to those who have no power and no power to travel to and fro, so that the risk is even smaller.

You must know that if you know that someone dares to hit the attention of the Ji family, don't say that it is at this juncture when the Ji family and the Ouyang family are married, but neither the forces of Ten Thousand Swords City nor Mufeng City will give up. Even if it has been done, it is not difficult to find out according to the methods of the Ji family and the Ouyang family. Yue Feng is not a fool, he won't understand this truth, and he shouldn't be able to touch this money that burned his life. If the marriage between the Ji family and the Ouyang family is successful, it will inevitably change the power pattern near the Wolong Mountain Range, but if the marriage between the two families is not successful, who will be the biggest beneficiary?

Then there may be multiple suspects, and their own division is Splitting the Sky Sword Sect, and they are suspicious. The Gongsun family in Qingxia City is also suspicious. Although Qingxia City is in harmony with the major forces on the surface, it has always been at odds with the Ouyang family in Mufeng City. Of course, it is not excluded that there are other small forces in the Wolong Mountain Range, or even forces from outside the Wolong Mountain Range. Although the purpose is not very clear, the biggest possibility is that some people don't want the Ji family and the Ouyang family to marry smoothly. At that time, the appearance of a large number of black-clothed cultivator killers with a high level of cultivation near Long Yuefeng was a good proof of this. If you consider it according to this line of thought, the two things of the Ji family's dowry being dropped and Ji Yingying being almost killed are connected together, and it can be explained.

Long Xu smiled faintly, and said in his heart that it was best that the mastermind behind the scenes could make the entire Ji family jump, so that even if Ji Yingying found out my identity, she would have no time to deal with me. A large number of pills purchased by the Ji family were lost in the hands of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, and Duan Zhenkun of the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate could not escape the blame, and it was bound to be compensated by the Heaven Splitting Sword Gate, and two million spars were not a small amount. However, if someone reveals Yue Feng's true face in front of everyone, with the methods of the Ji family and the Ouyang family, it will be difficult for Yue Feng not to confess the mastermind behind the scenes.

Just as Long Xu was thinking about it, the originally calm water under the quagmire of the Evil Tiger Pond suddenly surged, and the bottom of the pool shook violently, and those corpses were stirred, as if something terrifying was about to be born from the silt at the bottom of the pool. Long Xu was startled and rushed towards it without hesitation, but a great tearing force wrapped around his feet, effortlessly binding his whole body to the bottom of the pool.

The dead and silent pool was surging like a cast, and many corpses and sundries floated under the powerful current, but fortunately, Long Xu had that halo to protect himself, otherwise he would have been injured by the stones and bones that hit him head-on. At this moment, Long Xu only blamed himself for being too rash and rashly entering this murderous place. In the huge fluctuations, Long Xu only felt a buzz in his mind, and a feeling of dizziness immediately appeared. Then, the magical cobblestone on his chest seemed to exude some aura energy.

Long Xu had calmed down in the frenzied shock, and his hands were constantly sealed, trying to quell the riot of energy and water around him, but Long Xu's strength was too weak compared to his surroundings to play a role at all.

A loud roar of water came from the depths of the terrifying pool, the originally clear bottom of the pool had become a little dirty and scarlet, accompanied by the rolling energy riot, which made people feel uneasy, and at this moment a violent and murderous mood appeared in Long Xu's mind.

Countless silky faint and shiny lights appeared out of thin air in the pool, and those rays of light meandered and meandered like water snakes, surging towards Long Xu. When those rays of light touched Long Xu's body from far and near, it seemed to beat with joy, and then followed Long Xu's nostrils, mouth, and ears, but more did pass directly through the skin and enter Long Xu's body. When the rays of light merged into Long Xu's body, there was a feeling of blood connection between those rays and Long Xu's body. Immediately after that, the endless stream of light was completely integrated into Long Xu's meridians and blood, and the mysterious cobblestone on his chest also quickly emitted heat, which seemed to be a volcano that had been silent for thousands of years, and after sleeping for a long time, he finally had a chance to vent, and he was angry, wanting to release all his heat and energy happily.

Long Xu was tortured very uncomfortably by the heat in his chest, he wanted to scream but couldn't shout, wanted to move, but his body didn't obey. If Long Xu looked carefully at this time, he would definitely find that the magical cobblestone had been deeply integrated into his chest like a birthmark, leaving only a round spiral red mark. The light that had been integrated into Long Xu's body seemed to be faintly connected with the red mark on his chest.

Long Xu could only clearly sense that there was a powerful energy pouring in, like the rolling Yangtze River rushing and roaring. Boom! Long Xu's strong body suddenly shook, and the spiral-shaped imprint on his chest shone brightly, as if awakened by some kind of power, and a large number of mysterious characters quickly appeared in Long Xu's mind as if they were overpowered.

After an hour, all kinds of visions gradually disappeared, and only ordinary red marks remained on Long Xu's chest, and the unbearable burning heat on his chest disappeared without a trace. Some of the remaining spiritual energy around him quickly entered the red mark, and because this energy was too strong, Long Xu couldn't help but spit out a large mouthful of blood, and the qi and blood in his body were like overturning the river and the sea.
