Running and screaming were going on at the same time, and from time to time someone was pulled under the water and disappeared.
Naturally, there were also people who kept attacking the black fish, and several huge floating corpses floated up.
But more people still choose to flee upstream.
After a full hour, the people running in front finally stopped. Because there were no screams, it seemed that the black fish monsters had not caught up.
However, in this hour, at least a hundred people have disappeared and their whereabouts are unknown, including several people from the three ancient surnames or the eight major families.
And those who escaped here were only more than 400 people.
Some of them ran downstream and disappeared without a trace.
In short, they suffered heavy losses this time.
The river was still flowing, and they had not reached the source of the river.
Shang Kedao's face was so gloomy that he was almost dripping with water, and Jin Wuzu's face was also livid.
In this dark underground river, even if they have magical powers and abilities, it will be of no use. First, it is too dark inside, second, they cannot use their spiritual consciousness, and third, these people do not obey orders.
If you follow his command, very few people will die.
It's a pity that among the people who came this time, they were all the best from each tribe, they were all geniuses, and they were all spoiled ones in each family, so how many of them could listen to his command?
Fortunately, it's safe now. Of course, maybe the black fish monster is full.
However, at this moment, a strange rustling sound came over.
It doesn't come from the water, but from the top of your head.
And this rustling sound is particularly penetrating.
Everyone immediately used firelight to shine on the top of the cave wall of the underground river.
However, under this photo, many people were so frightened that they almost wet their pants.
Because swarms of black, beetle-like beetles the size of a child's hand spread over.
"Oh my god... dragon lice..." As soon as a small alchemy cultivator finished speaking, large swaths of dragon lice fell down.
"Ahhhhhhh~"
The screams were heard again. Dragon lice, as the name suggests, are lice on dragons. They are a parasite that lives on dragons. This parasite feeds on flesh and blood and is highly toxic.
In ancient times, dragons could tolerate lice on their bodies. In their minds, lice on their bodies might just be a kind of pet.
However, just because a dragon can bear it does not mean that other people or demons can also bear it.
Therefore, in just a few breaths, more than 300 of the more than 400 people were bitten, and then their bodies began to turn black and they fell straight into the underground river.
Also, their bodies dry out quickly because the dragon lice suck blood.
Only a very small number of clever and strong people were able to avoid being bitten.
But just when those who had not been bitten wanted to continue upstream, a layer of white stuff appeared on the water upstream.
When everyone looked through the firelight, they saw palm-sized white moths floating a layer on the water, as if they had just woken up, and some were already flying.
"Retreat, retreat quickly, this is the ancient poisonous white moth, an existence more terrifying than the dragon louse..."
"Run..."
There may be black fish monsters downstream, but it's really scary here, with dragon lice and poisonous white moths appearing.
Then, the further upstream you go, there may be more ancient creatures.
If they continue upward, they may be completely destroyed.
Together with Shang Kedao, Jin Wuzu and others, they all rushed downstream, no longer caring about the others, and completely forgot about Bai Xue.
More than an hour later, more than 70 people emerged from the underground river, and more than 600 people entered. Only these 70 people emerged.
After they got out, they quickly blocked the mouse hole.
Everyone was terrified, recalling the previous scenes.
Too many people died, and this expedition was a complete failure.
…
Zhou Wu and Bai Xue didn't know what was going on outside. Bai Xue would still wake up every night after Zhou Wu cooked the delicious food, drink two sticks of white wine with Zhou Wu and continue to meditate.
Zhou Wu, on the other hand, visited all the nearby mountains and forests.
And in the past few days, he has found many elixirs that are thousands of years old, or even more than ten thousand years old.
Huge ginseng, Julingcao and so on.
In short, he has hollowed out the elixirs in the mountains and forests.
After five full days, Zhou Wu felt that there was nothing else to find, so he returned to Wuzi Cliff and spent a day meditating under Wuzi Cliff.
But still didn't understand anything.
But he was leaving, so during dinner, when Bai Xue came over nervously and wanted to eat meat and drink wine, Zhou Wu said: "I will go out after dinner."
Bai Xue was stunned, and she couldn't help but stop while she was eating: "What are you going out for? Besides, I'm still here, what should I do if you go out?"
Zhou Wu shook his head and said, "I can't stay here with you all the time. I have to go find Qian'er."
"Is she really your wife?" Bai Xue asked curiously: "What does she look like?"
Zhou Wu just smiled and changed the subject: "I've been here all over the place in the past few days. Except for the danger in Jinshan, other places here are very safe. As long as you don't go to Jinshan, there will be no problems."
When Bai Xue heard that Zhou Wu didn't want to talk more about his wife, she simply stopped asking. Instead, she stretched her waist and said, "I can't bear to live my little life now. These days are the most comfortable days I have lived in so many years."
.”
"But my talent is still not good enough. I haven't been able to comprehend the Heavenly Book in six days. So even if I continue to comprehend it for another sixty or six hundred days, I may not be able to comprehend it."
"So... let me go out with you, lest you can't find your way back."
"Haha." After saying that, Bai Xue laughed.
"That's okay. After I get out, I'll go to the Holy Gate to look for you when I have the chance. I'm glad to meet you." Zhou Wu looked at Bai Xue seriously and said.
Looking at Zhou Wu's clear eyes, Bai Xue's eyes dodge a little, and her face suddenly turned red.
But soon, she adjusted herself and said with a smile: "This is what you said, go to the Holy Gate to find me. If you don't come, I will go to Beiqi to find you."
Zhou Wu nodded: "Okay, no problem."
"Then...where is your wife? Can you use my help to find her? Can you tell me what's going on? Maybe I can help you."
After hearing Bai Xue's words, Zhou Wu was stunned.
Yes, if Bai Xue helps to find it, then with her energy, connections, etc., I am afraid there will be news soon, right?
And Bai Xue is trustworthy.
"Don't worry, I won't tell anyone that your wife is from a dragon. This is a secret between the two of us. But if you don't want to tell me, then don't tell me."
Zhou Wu took a deep breath: "Maybe you can really help me."
"It's like this. My wife and I originally lived in seclusion in a secret place. After arriving at Kunlun Ruins, in the northwest of Kunlun Ruins, we passed by a place called Dongyang Manor and met Yuan Zhen, the fourth elder of the Beiqi Sect."
"The fourth elder, Yuan Zhen, is at the Fusion Realm. In order to let me escape, Qian'er fought with Yuan Zhen alone and threw me away from the scene. When I went back, both Yuan Zhen and Qian'er were missing."
"I went to Beiqi Sect under the pseudonym Meng Ao to inquire about Yuan Zhen's whereabouts, but Yuan Zhen never returned."
"When Qian'er and I broke up, we also agreed on a time and place to meet, but she couldn't join me either."
"That's why I've been looking for her, and that's why, can you help me?"
"Dongyang Villa in the northwest, right? Okay, I've written it down. Don't worry, you're such a nice person, and your wife must be as lucky as you. I'll help you find her, but shouldn't there be one between us?
As for the contact method, I have a blank two-line contact jade slip here, one for each of us." Bai Xue said, handing over a jade slip for communication.
