Chapter 21: The Vortex of the Stygian Waters

"Ah......h

A scream, gradually weakened. It finally turned into a hoarse wail until it was silent. The monk's body quickly withered, and finally only a white bone remained. The mosquito beast finished sucking the monk, but it did not let go. It wasn't until a white shadow was sucked out of the skull that the mosquito beast let go of its long mouth.

Bones fall to the ground. With a "snap", it shattered to the ground. At this moment, all the monks present were stunned. They had never seen such a ferocious demon beast. Everyone could see clearly that the white shadow in the mouth of the mosquito beast was the soul of the monk!

"Everyone, run away! This beast can suck the soul!"

"If I knew this was the case, I shouldn't have come to see this kind of excitement!"

"Little Liuzi, what are you talking about! Everyone is dying, and you are still nagging......!"

Bai Yitong faced such a powerful demon beast for the first time, and he couldn't help but feel a little panicked in his heart. But it was only a moment's work, and this panic was cleared by Linglong's mind. Bai Yitong, who calmed down, quickly analyzed the success probability of various escape methods in his heart. He knew that he didn't have much time, and that the mana in his body would soon be exhausted. Then he will be like the monk, and he will be the food of the mosquito beast. Even the soul can't escape. Therefore, he could only calculate the gains and losses of each escape method as fast as possible.

Bai Yitong has the help of the Qing Yin True Technique, and the mana, spell consumption, and magic weapon consumption of breaking the slime net are very low. Therefore, although he is only a third-level cultivator of Gathering Spirits, his mana is enough to support him in the case of low consumption, and he can come up with a way to escape from this place. In this land of frost, the mosquito beast is like a falling dragon. It was originally a mutated ice-type demon beast, and it was naturally like a fish in water in the cold land. In this way, its initial cold wave ice vapor attack seems to be creating a geographical advantage for itself.

The mosquito beast tossed and turned with light and dexterity, not at all as fast as its bulky size should have. Fortunately, the pair of fleshy wings of the Mosquito Beast had degenerated, otherwise these Gathering Soul Monks would not have been able to escape three breaths no matter how hard they ran wildly. Even so, the fleshy wings of the blue mosquito beast caused them a lot of trouble.

Between the long meat wings, a large amount of ice powder was rolled up and swirled and flying. The monks were obscured by more and more ice powder, and even their divine consciousness could not release half of their usual range. As a result, there was confusion in the direction of some monks. When these unlucky monks, after running wildly, found that they had actually been sent to the beast, they were all devoured in the cry of despair and rage.

"Second grandmother's! I can't live anyway, why not pull a few pads on my back when I die?!hahahaha......"

"Qiu Wude, you bastard, pull me even if you want to die?!ah......"

In the chaos, only a long and tragic laugh and a roar of grief and anger were mixed together, and gradually fell silent. Bai Yitong frowned slightly, and his heart was full of contempt for that Qiu Wude. At the same time, he also became vigilant, and as soon as someone approached him, he would quickly distance himself from them.

After the death-defying incident, the remaining monks struggled with the slimenet restraints, and at the same time became wary of the other monks. Although there is little hope of escaping in this situation, it is still very infuriating to be pulled on the back. In the flying of ice powder, the figures were divided and merged, but it caused even more confusion to the monks.

"Senior Brother Xu, help me cover up, I'll send a note to ask Master for help!"

"Senior brother, the master is thousands of miles away. We...... Will you be able to hold out until Master arrives?......"

"Hey...... I can only resign myself to fate. ”

Bai Yitong listened to the voices of the other monks in his ears, and watched his surroundings vigilantly. At this time, he has long lost his sense of direction, and can only grope his way towards a place where there are few people. About a tea time later, Bai Yitong unknowingly came to the edge of the black water beach. He was very depressed, and secretly lamented that he was unlucky, and he actually returned to the black water pool. He was about to turn around and walk away, when suddenly a suction force came, instantly sucking him into the black pool.

A few moments later, a pale blue figure came to the edge of the black water pool with a confused expression.

"Jumped in?"

Miss Lu frowned and muttered to herself. Then, looking back in the direction where the screams were coming from, she jumped into the dark water. Soon after, a young monk in yellow from the ninth layer of the spirit gathering came to the edge of the black pool, stared at the splash of Miss Lu, frowned slightly and jumped into the pool.

The barbarian woman and Xiao Poison complained to each other while trying to break free from the slime net. Both of them are late-stage cultivators of Gathering Spirits, so it's not very difficult to do this. In the midst of the quarrel, the two unconsciously came to the vicinity of the Black Water Pool.

"This black pool is strange, though not dangerous. However, I would recommend that you stay away. ”

Xiao Poison Zi suggested.

The barbarian woman just snorted and jumped into the pool. Then her voice came from the water: "In vain, you think you are smart and wise, how can you not think that this water is the safest place at this moment!"

Xiao Poison Zi was stunned, and then jumped into the black water pool. Black splashes splash and fall. The Blackwater Pool was back to its original state.

After a pillar of incense, there was a hundred feet of frost and snow around the black water pool. After sucking the soul of the last monk, the mosquito beast seemed to make a burping motion. Then, it was about to jump into the black pool.

"Beasts, stay and leave!"

There was a thunderous roar, and the ice powder on the ground that shook directly flew and swirled. Along with the sound came a long flying sword that emitted red fire.

"Woo ......"

The Red Flame Flying Sword burned the air, slashing at the head of the Mosquito Beast at a speed of lightning and flint. Immediately behind the flying sword was an old man in brown clothes and white hair. Sensing the danger, the Mosquito Beast swung backwards to avoid the first blow of the Red Fire Flying Sword. After the flying sword misses, it automatically flies back into the hands of its owner. The old man in brown took the flying sword and stood up between the mosquito beast and the black pool, blocking its retreat. Not long after the old man landed, two middle-aged men in Tsing Yi arrived one after another.

"Elder Ling, the extremely cold aura you sensed was emitted by this sixth-order ice-based demon beast?"

"Senior brother, what kind of demon beast is this? Why have you never seen it in the Badwater Swamp?"

"This is the Mosquito Beast, one of the few demon beasts in the Immortal Cultivation Realm that has its body and soul swallowed together. The normal Mosquito Beast is only in the fifth-order category, and this sixth-order Mosquito Beast must be a mutated variety. It's a pity that I came late and couldn't rescue those juniors. ”

The old man in brown shook his head and said to them when he saw the two of them asking.

Bai Yitong was suddenly inhaled by the black pool, and his dizziness and brain had already arrived in a spacious place. When his mind cleared, he hurriedly closed his breath so that he would not get water from his mouth and nose. Then, he pulled out the water-proof beads from the storage bag and put them in his mouth. Speaking of this water-repellent bead, he bought it in the Thunder Fire Sect City. When he bought it, he hesitated for a long time before he bought it with a prepared mentality.

The shield of the water-repellent bead was only slightly larger than Bai Yitong's, which made him wonder if the water-repellent mask could completely cover him if he was a little bigger. In fact, he didn't know that if it was in ordinary water, this kind of light shield that protected from water beads could be stretched out by about a zhang. In this black pool, due to the special water quality, the effect of avoiding water beads is greatly reduced.

Through the faint light of the water droplets, Bai Yitong vaguely saw that he was in a concave stone wall. It's not a big invagination, but it's a perfect way to avoid the whirlpool not far away. Thinking of this, Bai Yitong looked back at the whirlpool at the bottom of the pool that had sucked him in.

"Huh?"

Bai Yitong couldn't help but be surprised, and stared at the swirling vortex. At the bottom of the dark pool, a whirlpool as thick as a millstone stretched upward. The pool of water, which should have been stirred by the whirlpool to produce a whirlpool, did not move at all, not even a ripple. There are only two explanations for this anomaly. First, the pool water is relatively special, and the power of the vortex is not enough to drive it. Second, the vortex is not a human force, it only drives things with certain conditions.

Of these two explanations, Bai Yitong is not sure which one it is. He knew there might be an answer at the bottom of the vortex, but he didn't want to go on an expedition. At that moment, Bai Yitong raised his feet and walked towards the exit of the concave wall, he planned to return to the water first.

Bai Yitong just walked to the mouth of the recess, but saw a corner of the clothes suddenly fall from his clothes, and floated to the outside of the recess. He casually straightened the tears in his shirt, guessing that it was torn by the whirlpool. Who knows, the corner of the clothes floated out of the concave wall, but it fell down sharply.

"Feathers don't float?!"

Bai Yitong exclaimed in surprise, and almost fell out of the recess without paying attention. Since the corners of his clothes can't float, how can he swim on the water. Thinking of this, Bai Yitong sat down on the stone floor.

I'm afraid that the real meaning of the Bad Water Swamp is actually this black pool. ”

After a long time, Bai Yitong sighed, sat up cross-legged, pinched the storage bag in his hand, and meditated up with his eyes closed. Unable to leave for a while, he planned to use the carrion corpse corpses collected in the storage bag to improve some of his cultivation. For the rest, I'll plan for it later.

In the Mud Pill Palace, the mysterious lotus seed meticulously inhaled the corpse qi and death qi slowly. Then, he spit out a steady stream of aura. The meridians were running slowly, and Bai Yitong's primordial light ball was also constantly rotating and condensing.

The suburbs of Siyang City, Luoguo, by the clear water pool. A half-black double-headed giant snake was frequently spitting out water cannons and water arrows, blasting at the four or five monks around. And within a hundred zhang around Qingshuitan, there were more than a dozen monks in a messy manner. Looking at their appearance, all of them turned pale, as if they were entangled in water-based spells and suffocated to death. Of the five remaining monks in the field at this time, only one of them was the Ninth Layer Peak of Gathering Spirits, and the other four were all cultivators of the Nayuan period. The three Nayuan monks who had been here earlier were all unharmed, but they were all mentally exhausted. And the monk on the first floor of Nayuan who participated later was abolished. At this moment, the discarded arm was thrown around, but the monk had no time to care. It can be seen that the battle by Qingshuitan is also very fierce.
