After walking for who knows how long, the sight in front of me finally became clearer. Although the surroundings were still a little dark, I could still see clearly.

"What's this."

Looking at what was in front of him, the priest stopped.

There is a pool of water two meters ahead, about five or six meters in diameter, with dark red liquid inside.

There are still some body parts floating on it.

The priest could faintly see a complete corpse floating in the center of the pool, but it was a bit dark and the sight was limited.

I can't see the other person's face clearly, but judging from the clothes and body shape, one of them is still a child.

I took out the photo given by the village chief and slowly looked closer. When I walked to the opposite side, I saw its face and compared the photos.

I found that I couldn't see it anymore. The other person's skin was swollen and his facial features were no longer distinguishable.

But the strange thing is that the other party's body has not changed at all, only his face has changed like this.

"This is troublesome after all."

"I don't know what kind of liquid it is inside, and it doesn't look like blood."

At first, the priest thought it was blood, but when he got closer and smelled it, he knew it wasn't.

There was a strong fishy smell and a foul smell, but there was no smell of blood.

The priest didn't know what was inside, and it would be a bit troublesome for the village chief's son to find it.

This liquid is corrosive. The priest just threw a stone into it and it was instantly corroded, making a tooth-searing sound.

Fortunately, the pool was not big, and the priest wanted to find a longer wooden stick around to pull the body over.

He carefully observed the photo. In the photo, the village chief's son had a small birthmark on his arm.

If there are some on the corpse, you can be sure, if not, you have to fish them out.

There must be other bones under this pool.

Just when the priest turned around to look for it, the originally motionless body slowly floated towards the edge of the pool.

It was just a little bit at first, probably because the priest didn't respond, so I speeded up.

It pulled over within a few seconds, and its face suddenly opened towards the priest's closed eyes.

He moved his hands and feet and slowly got up from the pool, but he had been lying down for too long.

The movements were very stiff, and all these movements could actually be seen by the priest.

Since the other party came ashore by himself, it saves him the trouble of dragging him over.

The opponent's pale hand was almost attached to the priest's shoulder, and the priest took out the tool he had prepared and stabbed it directly.

This is an offensive item, but unfortunately it is a one-time use item.

Special props: 100% sure hit dagger

Function: The attack is 100% sure to hit, the power depends on the strength of the opponent

Description: Disposable props

This thing is not very useful and can only deal with low-level monsters.

And this dagger has no effect on spirits.

The attack power has weakened again.

But judging from the current situation, it's still pretty good. One hit hit it in the head.

But it's not human anymore, so this attack won't do much damage to him.

"Wrong."

As a habit, the priest stabbed it in the head. Fortunately, it was only the forehead and the face was fine.

The face of the village chief's son also has something identifying him, but it may have been soaked in for a long time.

It couldn't be seen before, and the swelling of the skin made it even more difficult to identify.

boom.

Just as the priest was still thinking, the other party suddenly fell to the ground.

What, here comes the porcelain.

The attack he just made was not fatal at all, but it fell to the ground motionless.

"Something doesn't feel right."

Suddenly he jumped away from where he was standing and saw turbid liquid suddenly flowing from the body.

It exudes a foul smell and is similar in color to the one in the pool.

But it's more viscous.

It was disgusting to look at, and it spread quickly. The place where he was standing just now was now covered with a thin layer.

"What is this stuff."

Looking at the pile of stuff on the ground, the priest didn't know what to think.

Now let alone check whether there are any birthmarks on the bones, the whole arm has turned into that kind of thing.

The process was so rapid that the priest was caught off guard.

"What the hell is this? There are no ghosts or humans."

He hates this kind of sticky stuff the most, it's very disgusting to look at.

I don't want to touch it at all.

"It would be nice if I had a companion at this time. Just let him go."

In the past, basically the only way to deal with these problems was to find a temporary companion. When encountering this kind of thing, it was time for the companion to come into play.

Otherwise, what's the use of having this companion?

"Suddenly I miss them a little bit."

"I don't think so much anymore, I can only do it by myself."

Even if he has mysophobia, he can only get started temporarily for the mission.

Fortunately, after experiencing the initial mutation, it is now motionless, and the corrupted liquid on its body has dried up.

Just when he was about to check, the liquid in the pool surged.

There were red bubbles and traces of dark red gas.

A black reflection appeared in the pool, covering most of the water.

The priest immediately stepped back, not caring about the corpse on the ground.

The rising water quickly enveloped the wreckage, and it continued to corrode thereafter.

The soil on the ground was also corroded, making a tooth-aching sound.

During this time, the priest clearly saw that there were countless corpses under the water, soaked in it, with their faces facing down.

Something is wrapped around their limbs, preventing them from floating on the water.

The previous one must have been an accident.

But the priest felt it was a trap!

The liquid in the pool was surging, emitting bubbles and smoke, like a large pot of boiling soup.

Gradually, the priest felt that no matter where he retreated, the surrounding temperature began to slowly rise.

Under the entire cliff, the temperature of the ground like an oven is constantly rising.

Some of the land on the surface also has cracks, and some red gas comes out of it.

There are more and more cracks. If you look down from a high place, you can clearly see that the ground is constantly being eroded by red cracks.

There were big holes, and the most serious part was the land around the pool, which had been completely corroded by the rising water.

Its area has expanded again.

"If this continues, it won't be long before it falls in here!"

"With the degree of corrosion of this thing, I'm afraid only the bones will be left in a few seconds."

Originally, the priest thought that the dangerous big boss should come from monsters in the pool, but he didn't expect that the other party gave him a frog boiled in warm water.

I slowly watched as the ground beneath my feet became less and less, and sooner or later I would fall into it and become one of those bones.

"Based on the current situation, it should be all covered in about ten minutes."

"Before that, we have to find a way to survive."

Looking around, there is no other place to climb except the cliff behind the pool.
Chapter completed!
