Chapter 421: Under the Pool
When the old man saw Dugu Zhan being so persistent, he didn't say anything. He just silently added some tea to Dugu Zhan's teacup!
At this time, Shi Zhihuan put down the tea cup in his hand and said to Dugu Zhan: "I'll go with you!"
Dugu Zhan couldn't help but asked in surprise: "Are you going too?"
"Yes! I can repay your kindness!" Shi Zhihuan said with a smile.
"Haha, no need, I told you not to worry about these things too much!" Dugu Zhan said seriously!
At this time, King Chixie also smiled and said: "There is nothing in this world that my master cannot do, and there is no need for help from others!"
Shi Zhihuan couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed after hearing King Chixie's words, but he continued: "Okay, but you can come to me at any time if you need it!"
"Definitely!" Dugu Zhan picked up the teacup and showed respect to Shi Zhihuan!
After being led by the white-haired old man, Dugu Zhan and the others came to the Huangquan Pond. As the old man said, the entire lake was yellow and exuded an unpleasant smell!
There is not a single plant near Huangquan Pond, it is all rubble, and among these rubbles you can only see the rotten white bones left behind who knows how many years ago!
Dugu Zhan frowned and looked at the yellow water in the lake, feeling a little uncomfortable in his heart!
"It stinks!" King Chixie said, covering his nose!
Dugu Zhan shook his head and said: "The smell is indeed unpleasant, but the biggest problem is that the water is corrosive, and I don't know if we can withstand it!"
At this moment, the white-haired old man said to Dugu Zhan and Dugu Zhan: "The water in this lake will only become a little clearer at midnight, so you two should wait until midnight before going down!"
Dugu Zhan nodded, and then they sat cross-legged one kilometer away from the lake, waiting for the arrival of midnight!
The reason why they went so far was because they were also made unbearable by the smell of the lake!
"Senior, have you lived here for a long time?" Dugu Zhan suddenly asked the old man!
The white-haired old man said calmly: "Yes, when I came here with Master, I seldom went out!"
It turns out that the old man's birth name is Xue Shan, and he has followed his master to this land of nine secluded places since he was a child to find the place of ultimate yin to practice their sect's Taiyin Scripture!
It's just that they haven't found it all this time, and the old man has grown up slowly, and he doesn't have that much yearning for the outside world, so he has always stayed in this Nine Netherland!
"I'm sorry for destroying your inn!" Dugu Zhan said with some embarrassment at this time!
"It doesn't matter. The inn was originally just a place for those sad people who came here to stay. When I was young, I liked to go there and listen to the strange stories told by outsiders. As time went by, I became friends with the innkeeper.
My friend is the father of the current boss. Later, when the boss passed away, he entrusted me to take care of him!" Mr. Zhou said calmly!
"Senior, is this Jiuyou land really the territory of the underworld?" Dugu Zhan asked curiously!
"I don't know about this, because this Nine Netherland has existed since ancient times, and there are various legends here, but the legend that this is the entrance to the underworld is more popular!" Zhou Laodao said!
At this time, Shi Zhihuan also nodded and said: "I once saw a record in the Shendao Sect's library, saying that this Jiuyou Land is just a special place, and it is not as mysterious as the legend says!
"
Dugu Zhan still somewhat agrees with Shi Zhihuan, because there are many special places in the Eternal Continent, such as the Snow Valley in the Western Region. It is extremely low here and has heavy snow all year round, but the places separated by mountains from this Snow Valley are
It's business as usual, nothing different at all!
There is also the Fountain of Youth in the south. It is said that drinking the water from this spring can keep you young forever. However, the place where the spring water appears is different every time. Only people with great luck can meet it!
There are many strange places like this, so they have been dubbed different legends by the world. Over time, future generations will think that these are true things!
The few of them chatted about a lot of external matters, but basically they were all about Dugu Zhan, while Mr. Zhou and Shi Zhihuan were listening quietly there!
Soon the time came, and Dugu Zhan was also preparing to enter the pool of water, while Mr. Zhou and Shi Zhihuan quietly watched Dugu Zhan leave!
When Dugu Zhan came to the edge of the pond, he found that the originally yellow and turbid pond water had become clear, but it still had an unpleasant smell!
At this time, King Chixie covered his nose and said: "Master, let me go down first to find out if you are going down!"
Dugu Zhan shook his head and said, "You don't have to go down, just wait for me here!"
"What?" King Chixie couldn't help being stunned!
"It's very dangerous down here, you don't have to follow me down to take risks!" Dugu Zhan said.
King Chixie blinked and whispered, "Okay!"
Immediately, the power of reincarnation in Dugu Zhan's body propped up a protective shield outside his body, and then he suddenly jumped into the yellowish pool water!
But King Chixie did not wait above as she said. When Dugu Zhan jumped into the lake, she also jumped in!
Dugu Zhan, who entered the pool, immediately felt an invisible pressure, and the protective shield outside his body was constantly being eroded by the pool of water!
"Even the true energy can be eroded, what a dangerous place!" Dugu Zhan couldn't help but sigh!
But at this moment, a black shadow suddenly appeared in front of him. Due to the turbid water in the pool, Dugu Zhan couldn't see what the black shadow in front of him was. Just when he was about to take action, he suddenly felt the mental fluctuations of King Chixie!
"Master, why don't you leave!"
"Why did you come down? Didn't I ask you to wait up top?" Dugu Zhan said with a frown!
"It stinks up there!" King Chixie laughed at this time!
"Okay, then be careful when you follow me!" Dugu Zhan said helplessly!
"OK!"
Then the two of them swam down to the bottom of the pool in disguise, and as they went lower and lower, the invisible mental pressure became stronger, which made Dugu Zhan feel a pain in his head!
At this time, King Chixie felt the same way. She said to Dugu Zhan: "Master, this place seems to be suppressing our mental power. If this continues, we won't even be able to transmit sound!"
Dugu Zhan was also a little caught off guard at this time, and he couldn't think of any solution for a while!
However, King Chixie said again: "Master, release the power in your World Tree, which is the source of all power, and may solve the suppression here!"
After hearing King Chixie's words, Dugu Zhan began to mobilize the power of the World Tree. Sure enough, when the power of the World Tree enveloped his whole body, the mental pressure disappeared!
Immediately, Dugu Zhan opened his protective shield to a width of two feet, and then said to King Chixie: "Come into my protective shield!"
After hearing Dugu Zhan's words, King Chixie quickly entered his protective shield!
At this moment, the two of them had sneaked down nearly a hundred feet, but still found nothing!
"Master, do you think that Zhao Wuji would have been melted by this pool of water a long time ago!" King Chixie said at this time!
Dugu Zhan frowned and said: "It shouldn't be the case. After all, if Zhao Wuji dies, those people can just say that he is dead. Why is there still news that he was suppressed here!"
King Chixie nodded and said, "That's true, but how did those people get down to the bottom of the pond?"
Dugu Zhan was also thinking about this problem at this time, but he couldn't think of a reasonable solution!
"Look, the bottom seems to have bottomed out!" King Chixie couldn't help shouting!
At this time, Dugu Zhan also noticed a huge black shadow appearing below, as if he had reached the bottom of a pool!
But when they came to the dark shadow, they discovered that it was not the bottom of the lake, but a layer of suspended matter!
"This should be the impurities in the lake, now settled here!" Dugu Zhan said!
Sure enough, the two used their spiritual sense to detect and found that there was a huge space below!
With a bang, the two passed through the layer of suspended matter and entered below. But just when they thought there was still water below, they suddenly discovered that they had guessed wrong!
It turned out that there was a huge cavity below the layer of suspended matter with no water at all. Their bodies lost the buoyancy of the water and quickly fell downwards!
Soon they fell down nearly a thousand feet, and Dugu Zhan also stopped at this time. He did not remove the protective shield, because he did not know whether the cavity had the same spiritual power as the pool.
A force!
"It's so big here!" King Chixie looked around and said!
Although they can't see what's going on around them, their spiritual consciousness can detect any place!
Dugu Zhan nodded and said: "It's indeed quite big. I didn't expect that there would be such a situation under this pool of water. It seems that those people know this place very well!"
Then the two of them continued flying downwards, but soon they ran into trouble!
"Huhu" two sounds came from below them, and then a powerful wave of air rushed up, mixed with a fishy smell!
"What a big lump!" King Chixie couldn't help but exclaimed loudly!
Then he slapped his palm downwards!
There was only a muffled sound of "Peng", and then there was a scream, and the sound instantly echoed throughout the cave!
At this time, Dugu Zhan did not take action. He just explored the creature below and found that it turned out to be a ferocious bird. Its two wings were spread out and were nearly five or six feet long. A pair of eyes seemed to be able to see Dugu Zhan and the others.
It spins, and its long beak looks a bit like a snow sculpture!
With a long roar of "Chirp!", the ferocious bird flew up against the sky and instantly reached Dugu Zhan and the others. Its sharp claws immediately grabbed at the two of them!
"What a fast speed!" Dugu Zhan couldn't help but sigh!
At this time, the two claws of the vicious bird had already grabbed the protective cover, but they could not scratch it at all!
Chapter completed!
