Seeing the three-meter-tall black giant bat turn into ashes, Zhou You breathed a sigh of relief.
If I guessed correctly, it was the sound wave emitted by this monster just now, which caused me to fall into an illusion similar to that of a ghost hitting a wall.
If I hadn't woken up on my own, I'd probably still be repeating the cycle at the fork in the road.
keep going.
Wow~
This time, there was no more fork in the road, and a slight sound of flowing water appeared in Zhou You's ears.
The air in the passage gradually became humid and filled with water vapor.
When Zhou You walked out of the passage, he saw an underground river flowing slowly.
On the river, there were still faint sparkling waves, which were so dazzling that they were dazzling.
In the distance, there seems to be an island-like outline, which is vaguely visible but cannot be clearly seen.
"That island... should be the land of cave heaven." Zhou You murmured to himself.
There are several small boats by the river. I don’t know what materials they are made of. After such a long time, except for being covered with moss, there are no signs of decay at all.
Zhou You cleaned up a little, tested the firmness of the canoe, and nodded with satisfaction.
But at this moment, he discovered three different sets of footprints on the ground.
The soil here is very moist and soft, and even the slightest step on it will leave clear footprints.
This phenomenon puzzled Zhou You.
These three sets of footprints can be seen at a glance, and they were left relatively recently.
One of the groups is his own.
There are two groups left... According to Zhou You's current understanding, among the humans who entered this cave, apart from himself, Nangong Qiao is the only one left.
So who left the remaining set of footprints?
Has anyone else entered the cave?
However, this problem obviously cannot be solved now, so Zhou You can only temporarily suppress it deep in his heart.
I got on the canoe and traveled around without using an oar. Instead, I found a bamboo pole and stood on the boat to paddle the water.
In this way, even if there is any sudden situation, you can react quickly.
This underground river looks calm on the surface, but no one knows what kind of dangers lie beneath the undercurrent, so it is better to be cautious.
Hua Hua Hua~
On the calm river, a small boat moved forward slowly.
In this lifeless environment, one feels inexplicably depressed and cold.
The stalactites on the rock wall above protrude ferociously, like the claws of an evil spirit, and appear particularly penetrating under the reflection of the sparkling waves.
In the distance, the outline of the island gradually enlarged in Zhou You's eyes, but his expression became more and more serious.
The humid air began to contain some rancid smell.
This smell is very familiar to me when I travel around. It is the smell of corpses.
Sure enough, it didn't take long.
When I was traveling around, I saw corpses floating on the water.
There are too many and they are so densely packed that it feels like your scalp is numb.
These corpses were pale-skinned and had been soaked in the water for who knows how long. However, they did not swell and rot. They just kept floating on the river.
Moreover, when traveling around I found these corpses, all of which had no internal organs!
The belly of the corpse was broken open. There was nothing inside, the heart, liver, spleen, lungs and kidneys were all gone, leaving only a stinky skin.
When walking around, it seems like you can see these corpses having their internal organs dug out and then thrown directly into the river, where they will never be reincarnated.
"It seems that some extremely terrible changes occurred in this cave back then... No one inside escaped."
Zhou You sighed.
Water is a yin evil spirit. Once it encounters a corpse, it will trap the soul tightly and prevent it from being reincarnated forever.
This may also be the reason why the body has not decomposed and the evil spirit in the body is too strong.
call.
A cold wind blew through.
There was a snap.
The stern of the wooden boat sank suddenly.
As if something was pulling the canoe under the river, it began to tilt in an instant.
Zhou You snorted coldly, his energy surged throughout his body, and his body seemed to become extremely heavy.
Thousand pounds dropped!
Instantly, the tilting hull stabilized.
Pa da~
Pa da~
Two more strange sounds came from the stern of the ship.
The hull began to tilt again.
Wander around and look intently.
I saw three pale and skinny arms pulling hard on the stern, as if they would not give up until the canoe was overturned.
"Sure enough, the corpse has transformed!"
Zhou You narrowed his eyes slightly.
This corpse has been soaked in water for many years and died so miserably. It is strange that it has not changed.
Without any hesitation, Zhou You drew out his demon-slaying sword.
The sharp blade swept out and neatly cut off the three pale arms in the blink of an eye.
Pa da~
Pa da~
At this moment, two pale arms stretched out from the undercurrent on the other side of the bow, grabbing the hull of the ship and trying to pull it down.
"Looking for death!" Zhou You shouted angrily, picked up the pennies with his left hand, and lifted it up.
Plop~
The two extremely pale corpses were carried out directly.
But around the stern of the ship, another pale arm stretched out and rested on the hull.
"Damn it!"
Zhou You cursed secretly.
Now, he is a bit confused.
There are so many dead bodies accumulated in this river that it is impossible to count them. I am afraid that most of them have undergone transformation.
It's not an option to cut him off like this.
But if the canoe is pulled into the water, the thought of the densely packed corpses below will make your scalp numb even if you are traveling around, and you can only use all your firepower.
The right hand was used to slay demons, and the left hand was using the pennant to continuously knock these pale arms away and cut them, but it was still barely able to hold on.
But as time went by, more and more pale arms stretched out on the canoe.
Under the constant pulling of the huge force, the canoe began to show signs of breaking apart.
Zhou You noticed this situation, but felt helpless.
It looked like he was really going to fall into the water and fight to the death with these dead bodies.
"Ahhhh~~"
At this moment, a scream suddenly came from the waterway ahead.
"Master Dao's meat is not delicious, don't come and catch me!!!"
The familiar voice startled Zhou You.
He swung his pennies hard across the river.
Driven by the huge force, the wooden boat instantly flew out like an arrow from the string, breaking through waves of ripples.
A fat figure came into Zhou You's eyes for a long time.
"Damn fat man, why are you here?"
Zhou You never expected that Taoist priest Wu Liang would also follow him in.
However, his situation at the moment did not look very good. There were dense white arms hanging from the wooden boat he was riding in, and he was dragged into the water before he could see it.
"Zhou You, stop asking so many questions and hurry up and save people!"
When Wu Liang heard Zhou You's voice, he shouted anxiously as if he was grasping at the last straw.
He didn't know why he was so unlucky.
Even though he had used Yin Earth to hide the vitality from his body, he was still besieged by these dead bodies.
Without even thinking about it, he jumped directly, flew across the water like a big eagle, and landed firmly on Fatty Wu Liang's boat.
"I'm in charge of the left side, and you're in charge of the right side." Zhou You said in a deep voice.
"Okay, no problem!" Taoist Wu Liang responded immediately.
