The handsome face of Ling Xiao's body couldn't help but sweat dripping with cold sweat, and his expression was distorted.
He has killed many people in his life and seen countless corpses, but this is the first time he has seen such strange and numerous corpses!
There were hundreds of thousands of corpses in the entire sea of **, if not millions!
Some of these corpses are still uncorrupted, and the facial features on their faces can still be clearly seen.
The frightened expressions on these people's faces before they died were so strange and chilling.
When he imagined their desperate mood at that time, Ling Xiao seemed to feel a strange discomfort in his heart.
Death is not the scariest thing, the scariest thing is watching oneself die!
And the expressions on these people's faces are all like this.
In addition to the corpses of these people, there are also the corpses of countless animals and monsters. Their corpses are still well preserved, and their frightened expressions are no different from those of those people.
In the face of death, there is no difference between animals and humans.
Ling Xiao took a cursory look at the well-preserved corpses through the Sea Demon clone, and found that they accounted for three-quarters of the corpses here!
The remaining quarter has long since rotted into a pile of white bones, and their original appearance cannot be distinguished at all.
Without any time to think, Ling Xiao controlled the Sea Demon clone and continued moving forward.
Without the use of skills or the like, Ling Xiao could control this clone for about two hours, and it had already taken him half an hour.
There is only one and a half hours left for this sea demon clone to find the root of its spiritual eyes.
Holding back the feeling of vomiting in his heart, the sea demon clone swam in the black sea floor, pushing aside the corpses and carefully looking for any plants with the same shape as eyeballs.
As he swam, there were more and more corpses in front of him, and they were countless. Even Ling Xiao himself felt a little exhausted both physically and mentally.
In a place like this, even Ling Xiao, a person known as the Big Devil, is unwilling to stay for a while, just to find the root of the spiritual eye. There is really no choice.
"Huh? This is..." The sea demon clone saw a big stone on the sea floor, with a strange plant growing in the middle of the stone.
This plant is as tall as a small child and grows into a human shape.
There was a pair of beads on the humanoid face, shining with crystal black light, which looked particularly bright in the black sea water.
Without thinking, Ling Xiao dug out the eyes on the plant's face.
Poof! The plant that had lost its eyes suddenly burst out with blood from the two blood holes. No matter how strong Ling Xiao's heart was, she couldn't help but tremble!
That blood is actually red!
"The roots of spiritual eyes are actually eyes with animal blood or plants!" Ling Xiao's face twitched again, and a mouthful of hot blood couldn't help but spurt out from his throat.
Brush! The sea demon clone sprang out from the bottom of the sea at the same moment, broke out of the swamp, and flew back into Ling Xiao's body.
Ling Xiao slowly opened his eyes and looked at the extra pair of pupils on his hand.
Sure enough, the pupils were exactly the same as those of human beings, and even the blood was the same as those of human beings.
Plants? Living plants? And human blood? What the hell is that!
Ling Xiao reached out and wiped the blood from his mouth, put away the two eyeballs, and then took out a few pills for himself to take.
Ling Xiao didn't need much mental energy to control the Sea Demon clone to find the root of the spiritual eye at the bottom of the swamp just now. The main reason why he is very tired now is that it gave him such a strong impact on his mind.
Once a person is distracted, he will naturally spend a lot more mental energy.
This time, Ling Xiao spent a whole day and night recovering.
It wasn't until the morning of the third day that Ling Xiao stood up, a strange blush flashing across his pale face.
Obviously, his mind has not fully recovered.
"Let's get out of this hellish place first." Ling Xiao launched the flying ship and flew back.
Ling Xiao let the flying ship move forward automatically, while he lay on the deck and thought about how the strange swampy seabed was formed.
It is obviously illogical to say that those uncorrupted corpses were formed recently.
Because no one has heard that many people have migrated to this wild land in the past few thousand years.
Moreover, judging from the well-preserved clothes on these corpses, these corpses lived in an era very long ago from Ling Xiao's present.
Therefore, Ling Xiao came to a conclusion that seemed very impossible: these corpses were buried under the swamp when it was formed in the early days, and the bones at the back were people or beasts who strayed into the swamp and were eroded by the swamp.
, the flesh rotted, and the bones sank into the black water.
The black water seems to have an antiseptic function, and the body will not rot.
The next question Ling Xiao thought about was why those people sank under the swamp, and there were so many of them.
No matter what Ling Xiao thought this time, he couldn't figure out the reason because there were too few clues.
After thinking about it, Ling Xiao returned to the dilapidated city where the little boy lived.
"Go down and take a look?" Ling Xiao hesitated, feeling a sense of fear in his heart.
But out of strong curiosity, Ling Xiao still put away the flying ship and jumped to the ruins with broken walls.
Inadvertently, the five dots on the God and Demon Token in Ling Xiao's space flickered, but Ling Xiao's attention was all on the ruins and he did not notice it.
Then, the phantom city appeared in Ling Xiao's mind again.
The same people coming and going, the same prosperity.
"Excuse me, how to get to No. 6 Gujing Lane?" Ling Xiao asked a man selling vegetables on the roadside.
The uncle who sells vegetables said cheerfully: "Look for Xiaotao. Go straight to the end of this street. There is a small alley to the left, which is Gujing Lane. Xiaotao's home is in the sixth room of that alley.
, easy to find.”
"Thank you uncle." Ling Xiao said goodbye to the vegetable seller and headed in the direction he indicated.
As he walked forward, there were fewer and fewer "people", until at the end of the street, Ling Xiao found that there was no "person" around him.
Looking to the left, there is indeed an alley there.
As soon as Ling Xiao stepped into the alley with his front foot, his heart immediately trembled involuntarily, and he didn't dare to step forward with the other foot.
He always felt that if he went further, something terrible might happen.
To go or not to go, that is the question.
No one can answer Ling Xiao except himself.
Go ahead. The unprecedented vigilance in his heart made Ling Xiao feel uneasy and couldn't even concentrate.
If he didn't go, Ling Xiao would think of the little boy named Xiao Tao again, and Ling Xiao would never forget that expectant look in his eyes.
"Now that we are here, what should I be afraid of!" Ling Xiao simply changed his mind and stepped into the ancient well alley.
This alley is not long, and the end of it is No. 6.
What was in front of Ling Xiao was a house formed by a shadow. The strange architectural style was very different from the current one, which made Ling Xiao feel like he was in another world.
There was a pair of round copper rings on the door. Ling Xiao stretched out her hand to "pull" it, and she was able to pull it up!
Ling Xiao felt countless strange feelings in his heart, but he still knocked the pulled up copper ring against the door twice with his hand.
Bang bang...the door was knocked open by Ling Xiao.
Then, the door creaked open, revealing the young woman's face.
The young woman had a look of surprise, enthusiasm, and disbelief, and that complicated expression made Ling Xiao's heart feel even colder.
"I didn't expect you to come." The young woman politely extended her hand to invite you: "Xiao Tao is waiting for you."
Having come this far, Ling Xiao immediately stepped into the room without any further hesitation.
The young woman led the way and said, "Little brother, you should know that we are no longer human beings. Why are you still willing to accept Xiaotao's invitation to come to us?"
Ling Xiao smiled bitterly and said, "I feel uncomfortable because I have something I haven't figured out yet."
The young woman smiled: "I hope I won't scare you later."
(Uh, why does Nirvana feel that these two chapters are a bit like science fiction and a bit like horror ghost stories? Sigh~ It will return to the fantasy style after two chapters. Book friends, don’t be surprised)
