After the experience in the first cabin, Ye Qing became more cautious. After entering the second cabin, he first tested it with the magic soul-binding technique of the Demon of Freedom before entering.
Compared to the Karma Red Lotus Sword, although the lethality of the Soul-Restraining Magic of the Heavenly Demon of Freedom is not as good, it is better at being secretive and invisible, making it less likely to attract the attention of strange things in the cabin.
The smell of the second cabin is even worse than that of the first cabin. Not only that, there is a greasy and moist feeling everywhere. The steps, handrails and walls of the stairs are covered with greasy mucus. It is extremely nauseating. .
After walking down the stairs, Ye Qing was even more stunned.
I saw that the cabin on the second floor was filled with stagnant water. It was not an illusion, but real stagnant water.
The stagnant water was fishy, turbid, and had a pungent, sour smell. It was bubbling. Before Ye Qing could touch the stagnant water, his exposed skin felt stinging and ulcerated. As strands of pus.
Ye Qing frowned. If the smell of the first-level cabin was mainly pollution, the water in the second-level cabin was corrosion, which was extremely corrosive.
"It's really troublesome."
Ye Qing rubbed his nose habitually. According to the structural layout of the boat, the entrance to the third floor cabin was located in the lower right corner of the second floor cabin, which was directly opposite the stairs. This meant that he wanted to enter the third floor. The cabin must pass through this water.
To be honest, he really wanted to punch a big hole in the floor and take a shortcut.
But alas, no.
The Acacia Boat has now become a strange part. The structure of the hull is extremely strong. When it was on the first floor, Spider Man's strength did not leave even a scratch on the ground, so this method was simply not feasible.
The only way is to find the entrance honestly and go down to the third floor.
After pondering for a moment, Ye Qing saw a yellow talisman appear in his hand and threw it towards Ji Shui.
The yellow talisman turned into a small boat as it fell, but before Ye Qing could be happy, the bottom of the boat was corroded by the water and several large holes were formed. The boat also turned into a yellow talisman paper again and sank into the stagnant water. .
"It seems that ordinary talismans cannot withstand the corrosion of these accumulated water."
Ye Qing lowered his eyes slightly. In fact, the grade of the talisman ship in his hand was not too low. He could only blame the corrosiveness of the accumulated water.
Since talismans and seals don't work, let's try trick weapons.
Ye Qing took out an emerald-green bamboo raft from the Nine Heavens. The bamboo raft was green all over, as if it were made of fresh green bamboo. There were branches growing from the bamboo joints, and the bamboo leaves were green.
This bamboo raft, named Bibo Qing Bamboo Raft, is a powerful craft weapon made from Bi Bo Qing Bamboo. Green bamboo grows in water and does not sink when exposed to water. It is an excellent material for refining crafts such as ferries and boats.
In addition, the green bamboo has a strong vitality. Even if it is cut and made into bamboo rafts, it can remain alive forever as long as there is water.
Ye Qing placed the green bamboo raft in his hand on the stagnant water. The bamboo raft began to grow larger. However, after contacting the stagnant water, the originally green hull began to slowly become gray and mottled. The bamboo branches withered and the bamboo leaves fell.
Fortunately, the green bamboo raft did not sink like the previous yellow talisman, which made Ye Qing feel a little relieved.
Boarding the green bamboo raft, Ye Qing used his strength to control the raft and headed towards the entrance of the third floor.
At first, everything was normal, but after the bamboo raft traveled a certain distance, the surroundings gradually became dark, as if something had swallowed up all the light sources.
Although it is night now, and the cabin is airtight and foggy, it is normal for it to be dark.
But with Ye Qing's eyesight, he could still clearly see things within two to three feet.
But now he couldn't see anything, not even the palm of his hand that was close at hand. It would be an exaggeration to say that he couldn't see his fingers with his hand.
What's even weirder is that not only is his eyes invisible, but what his demonic thoughts perceive is darkness, endless darkness.
"Snapped"
Ye Qing snapped his fingers, and a wisp of fire appeared on his fingertips.
But the flames were bright, but the light could not spread. He could not even see the bright flames, nor could he feel the evil thoughts.
Just the warmth of his fingertips convinced him that the flame was on.
"Weird, soul-destroying..."
Ye Qing tapped it with one finger, and the demonic thoughts spread out like a tide, but the place where they passed was still dark.
"Huh……"
Ye Qing let out a light sigh, then formed a knife with his palm and slashed it diagonally.
The strange red lotus flowers fell, but they still couldn't break through the darkness.
"Isn't it a hallucination?"
Ye Qing frowned. This was the first time he had encountered a situation where neither the Soul-Restraining Magic of the Demon of Freedom nor the Red Lotus Sword of Karmic Fire worked.
"go back."
After thinking for a moment, Ye Qing immediately decided to return to the stairs before making a decision.
Ye Qing used Gang Qi to move the bamboo raft and sailed back along the route in his memory.
But once again, he encountered the same thing as when he was at Yonghe Lake. No matter how he drove, he couldn't get back to the stairs and touched the wall of the cabin.
It was as if he was now in the vast ocean.
And the current situation is even more frightening to Ye Qing than the previous situation. At least he could still see things before. Even if it was just fog, it would not be like now where he could not see anything and everything was pitch black.
Darkness brings not only loneliness and unknown.
And fear.
Ye Qing tried a few more times without believing it, using not only mental power, but also pure Qi and physical power to see if there was something wrong, but it still had no effect.
"Is it possible that I really want to die here today?"
Ye Qing stood on the bamboo raft and muttered to himself.
"I don't believe...the fog demon..."
Ye Qing's eyes flashed with fierceness, and he directly took out the Infinite Demon Buddha. Moko's chain was unsealed, and a Demon Buddha appeared in the air, standing in the sky.
"Jie Jie...boy, are you finally willing to let me out?!"
As the Infinite Demon Buddha was unsealed, the Mist Demon's unique strange laughter rang out: "Hey, where are you, why can't I see anything?"
"I don't know either. Anyway, just use all your strength and hit me hard." Ye Qing said in a cold tone.
"Fight, what?" Fog Demon was puzzled.
"Whatever, in short, call me." Ye Qing shouted coldly.
"Jie Jie..." The fog demon laughed strangely, and the demonic energy surged around the demon Buddha. The strange and evil demonic sound resounded throughout the world. With one palm shot, it manifested a mountain of corpses and a sea of blood, an infinite demonic kingdom, and the demons conquered all living beings.
"boom"
The demon Buddha slapped his palm on the stagnant water, and huge waves rose into the sky. The turbulent waves threw the bamboo raft into the air, and it took a long time before it fell down.
Countless water splashes fell on the bamboo raft and Ye Qing, making a sizzling sound. Ye Qing could clearly feel that his Gang Qi was being corroded by the accumulated water, and his skin was ulcerated.
But Ye Qing seemed unaware, with a hint of surprise on his face.
"boom……"
At this time, the Infinite Demon Buddha struck with his palm again, and the huge waves rose again, rolling down like a waterfall, hitting the bamboo raft and Ye Qing.
Just when the huge wave was about to engulf Ye Qing and the bamboo raft, Ye Qing suddenly raised his hand and defeated the falling huge wave with a punch, saying loudly: "Fog Demon, stop."
The Infinite Demon Buddha's palm stopped just halfway down, and said dissatisfied: "Boy, you hit and stop, what the hell are you doing?"
"Maybe I can guess where this is?!" Ye Qing said with slight joy.
"What are you talking about here and there? Boy, what are you mumbling about?" Mist Demon muttered.
Ye Qing ignored the fog demon and said slowly: "I guess we may be in the belly of the lightless bladder fish."
"Aphotic cyst fish, what is it?" The fog demon was puzzled.
Ye Qing replied: "The Chronicles of Mountains and Seas says that there is a fish in the East China Sea with black scales on its body, shaped like a water bladder, and a mouth as big as a mountain. Its body is dark, invisible to the eyes, and invisible to the mind, so it is called the lightless bladder fish. "
"The lightless fish likes to open its mouth at the mouth of the sea, waiting for prey. Any fish, shrimp, or living creature entering its belly, no matter how big or small, will unconsciously shrink like gravel and fall into endless darkness forever. The pain of helplessness, despair, and fear slowly rotted and dissolved in the gastric juices."
"Aphotic bladder fish? Why do you conclude that we are in the belly of the aphotic bladder fish?" asked the fog demon.
Ye Qing explained: "First of all, the belly of the bladderfish is dark and lightless, invisible to the eye and invisible to the gods. It is similar to our current situation."
"Secondly, any living creature that enters the abdomen of the Aphotic Sacculus will unknowingly become smaller. If you are blind, you will not notice it at all."
"This way, it can explain why I can't leave this piece of water even though it's not an illusion. It can also explain why, even though it's just a puddle of water, it looks like a bottomless ocean when you take a picture of it, Fog Demon. , there is only one reason, that is, we have shrunk and become as small as gravel."
"In this way, the water occupying the cabin becomes a vast ocean for me. It's that simple."
He also suddenly realized something was wrong when the fog demon slapped the water surface, splashing a huge wave tens of feet high. Although he didn't know how deep the water in the cabin was, it wouldn't be able to splash water tens of feet high. Let’s go.
The entire boat is probably not more than ten feet high.
It was not an illusion, and it was dark and lightless. Ye Qing suddenly thought of a short story about the lightless cyst fish that he had read in "Mountains and Seas".
That story tells the story of a warrior who accidentally entered the belly of a lightless bladderfish while taking a boat out to sea. Without knowing that his body shrunk, the warrior thought he had entered another strange sea area, and struggled hard in that sea area, but failed. Never get out.
Fortunately, a passing strong man discovered the clues and killed the matte fish, and then rescued the warrior.
When he came out, his skin was full of ulcers and his bones were white.
Afterwards, the warrior learned that the sea area he was struggling in was actually just the gastric juice in the belly of the Amur Sacculus.
Based on this story and the description of the bladder fish in "The Chronicles of Mountains and Seas", he thought of his own situation.
Of course, whether it is a lightless cystfish or not remains to be further tested by him.
"Okay, even if what you said is right, how can we get out?" Fog Demon said.
Ye Qing raised his lips and smiled: "Do we still have to rely on you, the Fog Demon?"
"Rely on me?" Fog Demon was puzzled.
Ye Qing said: "The reason why the name of the lightless bladder fish has the word "lightless" is that in addition to being dark and lightless, it also hates light."
"So, Mist Demon, try your best to control the unsealed Infinite Demon Buddha and release the Buddha's light to make the lightless bladder fish feel disgusted and spit us out."
