Pang Jian looked dull, wondering why this dying python suddenly went crazy.
There was no grudge between the two parties, but the giant python made a show of wanting to kill him before it died.
He groaned secretly in his heart, no longer caring about the existence of the humanoid monster, so he had to keep retreating, preparing to retreat to a place where the snake bones could not reach.
Because the python's head is nailed by the phoenix bone, as long as the snake bone cannot extend to his position, he is safe.
After avoiding this wave of attacks, when the phoenix bones had eaten all the flesh and blood from the giant python's head, the giant python was completely dead.
"Bang!"
A very soft muffled sound came from the other end of the phoenix bone as Pang Jian quickly evacuated.
Pang Jian, who was retreating in silence, glanced subconsciously and was surprised to find that the snake's sinuous body seemed to have encountered some obstacle at the bottom of the pool, and its speed towards him slowed down significantly.
Soon, he saw a person hanging on the white snake bone that the giant python was swinging.
Pang Jian was surprised.
The humanoid monster of unknown origin actually suffered an unimaginable disaster because the giant python twisted the snake bones before it died. After being wrapped up by the skinless snake bones, it was driven to scream in the water.
The humanoid monster that was focusing on the phoenix bone obviously didn't expect that the giant python that was about to die would have to make another fuss before it died.
He struggled up, hugging the snake bones that were no longer fleshy but still extremely thick, and used all his strength to break the bones apart.
The alien, who had long lost his intelligence and had no trace of humanity in his eyes, thought this was an attack launched by the "dark giant anaconda" before his death.
He gathered the strength within his body to fight against the "dark giant anaconda" that did not belong to this world, and also continued to slow down the swing of the snake bones.
Pang Jian took the opportunity to escape to the area where the snake bones could not extend.
He was secretly glad that the monster had blocked him, otherwise he might not have been able to escape in time, and he might have been beaten to death by a snake bone or stabbed to death.
When he escaped far away, he could still see the giant python with its eyes open, its pupils filled with endless hatred.
Pang Jian felt baffled.
It was the first time he entered the Blackwater Pool and the first time he encountered such a huge python. Why did the python have trouble with him before it died?
…
Night faded.
The eternal drowsy day reappears in the world.
The dark ghosts who stayed overnight in Kuhou re-observed the Blackwater Pond after dawn, and were surprised to find that the thick black water that was originally as dark as ink seemed to have faded a lot.
The color of the pond water changed from pure black to gray-black.
After watching carefully for a while, they saw that the originally calm water surface was rippling in circles, as if there was huge movement coming from underwater.
"There's something under the water!"
No matter how stupid a person is, they can guess that there must be something alive under the water through the abnormal movements on the water surface.
Hong Tai, who knew about the existence of the "dark giant anaconda", wanted to wait until dawn to check the situation and evacuate.
He suddenly hesitated and asked for everyone's opinions: "Under the pool, as long as the dark giant anaconda is still there, all of us will die if we go down. Moreover, it may break out of the black pool and come ashore to hunt us all." "
"You should also think about it, should we give up these prey, or should we take another look?"
He was asking for everyone's opinions, but his eyes just stayed on Jinyang's face.
"I want to see it again."
Jin Yang, who was unwilling to be reconciled, was also alarmed by the abnormality of the pool. He released the "Cicada Wing Swords" he had withdrawn again, observed the changes in the pool from different angles, and said: "I always feel that the black color in the water is... It's decreasing rapidly, and maybe it won't be long before we can see the underwater scene clearly."
"Well, the color of the pond water is indeed getting lighter."
Hong Tai gave a positive answer.
Through the python that belonged to him, he knew that the corrosive poison in the pond water had weakened. Being familiar with the characteristics of the python, he guessed that the "dark giant anaconda" should be gathering the acidic poisonous power it released.
"It's okay to wait, but everyone still has to be careful. Because when the water in the pool becomes clear and transparent, the dark giant anaconda may swim out from the bottom of the pool." Hong Tai reminded everyone with a solemn expression.
Jinyang nodded.
Next to the dark ghosts, Ning Yao, who was tied up in a giant silver net, showed an expression that was filled with grief and despair.
She reluctantly sat up in the net and stared blankly at the dim sky, seemingly giving up her struggle.
The people of the Dark Ghost no longer cared much about her because of the many strange things in the Blackwater Pool and the uncertainty of whether the "dark giant anaconda" would suddenly rush out.
Most of the people like Zhang Heng who coveted her beauty before also died in the battle.
"Pang Jian..."
She had not yet escaped from the shadow of death in Ningyuan Mountain. Listening to the conversation of the Dark Ghosts, her slightly dull eyes slowly wandered to the black water pool, and a figure quietly emerged in her mind.
"Is he still alive?"
Ning Yao, who was already in despair, did not believe that Pang Jian could still survive at the bottom of the pool after so many people died.
After so long, how could Pang Jian, who had just realized the existence of "qi", not be suffocated to death?
There is still acidity in the pond that will break out at some point. Even Jinyang has suffered. Shouldn't Pang Jian's body be gone?
Miss Ning's thoughts were helpless.
Thinking that she would eventually end up with a fate worse than that of He Ziren, she was ready to bite her tongue and commit suicide before that moment came.
Just when everyone was thinking about their own thoughts, the ripples on the surface of the pool lasted for a while and then gradually subsided.
Although the black color of the pool water has become much lighter, it is not completely clear, indicating that the acid poison in the water still exists, and everyone can only continue to wait anxiously.
…
Bottom of the pool.
Pang Jian, who retreated all the way to the rock wall by the pool, watched the vicious light extinguish little by little in the depths of the python's eyes.
The more this giant python tries to fight to the death, the faster it consumes its flesh, blood and essence, and the faster it is eaten by the phoenix bones.
Pang Jian looked at its huge head. The bright olive-green scales disappeared, and the flesh slowly disappeared into the phoenix bones.
It was eventually eaten away.
After a fierce battle, the humanoid monster gasped violently at the other end of the phoenix bone, and clusters of bubbles emerged from its mouth.
He was also covered in bruises, but not a drop of blood came out of his body.
He kept panting, creating more blisters in his mouth, and his crimson eyes were still staring at the phoenix bone, waiting for the long-awaited glimmer of light to condense and take shape.
From beginning to end, in his eyes, there seemed to be no such person as Pang Jian.
"It's also my luck."
Pang Jian was not dissatisfied with being looked down upon.
Seeing that the giant python was finally dead and the changes that would occur within the phoenix bones had not yet begun, he only thought about where he should go.
He looked around for his way out, and then he was surprised to find that next to the rock wall he was clinging to, there was an open... stone door.
The rock wall here is far away from Phoenix Bones, and the stone gate is hidden deep in the underwater world, mixed in a pile of angular rocks.
Because the open stone door is too flat and smooth, and looks a little out of place with the surrounding angular rocks, it is easy to notice.
"Made by man!"
After one glance, Pang Jian was sure that the stone gate was not naturally formed, so he couldn't help but get closer.
Carrying the dragon-patterned spear, he arrived at the open stone door. After entering nervously, he saw a narrow and deep stone path inside the stone door. It seemed that he could go to the other end of the mountain through the stone path.
After hesitating for a few seconds, he walked a dozen steps along the stone path and saw a... small stone room at the bottom of the mountain.
There are stone tables, stone chairs, and a stone bed in the stone room, but nothing else.
Looking at the small stone room in the center of the stone path, as well as the stone tables, chairs and stone beds, Pang Jian's face looked as weird as possible.
Because the tables, chairs and beds in the stone room were exactly the same as the layout of the stone room where he lived, he would feel familiar no matter how he looked at them.
The stone room where he lives now is where he has been living since his father left.
Before his father disappeared, he and Pang Lin lived in the same room because he and Pang Lin were still young.
"this……"
A man-made stone room was located in the rock wall at the bottom of the pool filled with water, and the layout was so familiar that Pang Jian was stunned for a moment.
Could it be that my father had been here before and he was the one who carved out this stone room?
The stone chamber was obviously at the bottom of the water, and ordinary people couldn't breathe and survive. How could my father build the stone chamber at the bottom of the pool?
Pang Jian couldn't find the answer.
However, this deep stone path leading to nowhere and this mysterious stone room also allowed him to see a way out.
After some consideration, he did not rush to explore the end of the stone path, but went out first and then closed the open stone door.
Only then did he notice that the surface of the back of the stone door was also rugged gravel. When the stone door was actually closed, it didn't look much different from the protruding gravel nearby.
It turns out that only when the stone door is open can you find that it is a flat stone door.
This is a relatively simple method of masking.
Pang Jian believed that if he closed the stone door from the inside after entering it, the dark ghost monks who subsequently entered the bottom of the pool would not be able to find the stone door that was integrated with the gravel.
At this moment, he could actually escape, close the stone door and try to explore the end of the deep stone path.
But thinking that the acidic power above the Blackwater Pond seemed to be helpful to his cultivation, he still chose to take the risk and stay.
In front of the open stone door, he looked at the slightly blurry phoenix bones and the huge withered bones of the giant snake.
The glimmer of amber in the phoenix bone has not emerged yet and is wandering inside the bone. It should be that the python's flesh and blood is very valuable and needs a longer time to brew.
The humanoid monster's attention was completely focused on Phoenix Bones, and it didn't care about him at all.
Therefore, he still has time to absorb the dark acid and poisonous power from the black water pool, continue to practice his "Hutian Qi Nourishing Technique", and continue to temper his spiritual power with the whirlpool in his spiritual sea.
So he entered the state of practice again.
Time is passing quietly again, and in the blink of an eye, a few days have passed.
In the past few days, when he was so hungry that he couldn't hold on any longer, Pang Jian would take out dried meat soaked in water to satisfy his hunger, and spent the rest of the time practicing.
He firmly seized this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to practice.
…
outside world.
The dark ghosts who had been waiting looked at the water in the Blackwater Pond, and the rich black color became lighter day by day.
They finally waited until the day when the water in the pool became clear.
"It says that there is no longer any corrosive acid poison in the water."
Hong Tai pointed to the python that belonged to him, looked at the clear water, and said, "It's still too deep. I can't even see the bottom of the pool. Which one of you will go down to see what's going on?"
His eyes wandered across the faces of the Dark Ghosts, but everyone was silent and no one dared to answer.
"Are you all so timid?"
Hong Tai, who had already made up his mind, glanced at Ning Yao who was imprisoned in the silver net, and said: "The Ning family girl has been kept until now just to use her to test the dark giant anaconda. The flesh and blood of a young girl is very important to her. The dark giant anaconda is the most delicious, and it cannot resist such delicious food."
As soon as these words came out, Ning Yao suddenly felt horrified.
