Jiang Yao left a message for safety under that line and left in a hurry before dawn.
Her mother-in-law had specifically reminded her that the corpse had to be retrieved at night and could not be retrieved during the day.
From the time we left Yinlin Mountain to reading the clues left by Helianyin, it was already past midnight, and midnight was when evil spirits were most active.
From the current clues, it is known that all the villagers in Burial Dragon Village will turn into sheep-headed men at night and all enter Yinlin Mountain. If she goes to Heihe now, she will not be attacked by sheep-headed men.
"I don't know when this rain will stop..." After walking out of the deserted house, Jiang Yao glanced at his shoes covered in wet mud, and then smelled a cold, damp smell that hit his face, and his fingertips were numb with cold.
The Black River is connected to the secluded forested mountains, and the wind is blowing fiercely, making the sound of shuttles. Waves of cold wind poured into the umbrella, penetrating deep into the skin and flesh, and the seams of the bones were soaked with coldness.
Whether entering the Strange Realm or outside, this mountainous area is always cloudy and rainy, and normal people will get various diseases if they stay here for a long time.
Jiang Ji, who was stubbornly holding an umbrella at the side, heard her murmuring to herself. Her knuckled pale fingers tightened on the handle of the umbrella. She was silent for a long time. He almost reached the edge of the black river before he whispered.
"Soon."
The water of the Black River is turbulent and rapid, rolling down from a high place. The river is long and wide, and the depth is difficult to see due to the black pressure. Occasionally, a ghostly aura surges from the bottom of the river, and the sound of crying and howling waves falls into the ears.
She didn't hear Jiang Ji's words, all her attention was on Heihe.
The rain was falling non-stop, and the altitude had risen to the point where it had submerged the arched keel. Not to mention finding any corpses, anyone who entered the water would be immediately washed away by the river.
But Jiang Yao didn't give up.
"Go downstream."
Since the water is so strong, the corpses buried in the Black River may have been washed downstream.
Searching here is like looking for a needle in a haystack. It is impractical to search all the way along the river. Even if you look for it for more than ten years, you may not be able to find it.
Jiang Ji obeyed her words. Although he was sent by her mother-in-law to help her, he spoke only a handful of times along the way and always relied on her ideas.
The waves of the river hit the shore, and water droplets splashed on me.
Jiang Yao wiped the water on his face and said to him: "No need to hold an umbrella."
The wind and waves were strong on the bank of the Black River, so the umbrella was useless and could not cover much water.
Jiang Ji said "Oh" and put away his umbrella.
He followed her downstream along the shore, lowering his head, but his eyes fell on the back of her head.
Jiang Yao walked quickly and there was nothing going on around him. He thought of something and couldn't help but ask him.
"How lucky are you worth?"
Jiang Ji didn't pay much attention to attributes. Hearing this, he opened the information panel and glanced at the answer.
"It's unknown."
Hearing this, Jiang Yao couldn't help but stop and look over at him.
Not only the luck value, but also other values are not covered with a layer of mist.
She was stunned for a moment.
Can this thing be unknown?
Before her talent was triggered, her talent was unknown, and it became apparent after it was triggered.
Jiang Yao retracted his eyes and continued walking.
She asked so much just to find the corpse as soon as possible. Her luck score is negative, and even if she knew where the body was buried, it would be difficult to find it. After so many copies, there were not many props that could really increase her luck, which also resulted in her luck always being negative.
The unknown is better than her negative number, right?
"When the time comes, you can also go into the water and look for it."
Are you afraid of not being able to find it if you two look for it together?
Jiang Ji nodded.
Seeing his taciturn and boring gourd-like temperament, Jiang Yao said no more.
I miss Baimao a little in my heart. Although he is not smart, at least he talks a lot, and talking can relieve boredom.
Otherwise, just like Jiang Ji, he walked for a long time without saying a word. Jiang Yao felt bored when he thought that there was still more than half of the journey.
The boring time did not last long. Halfway through the journey, Jiang Yao suddenly felt a cold touch on her ankle. When she glanced out of the corner of her eye, she was surprised by the scene in front of her.
I saw that the water lapping ashore in the black river seemed to be alive, slender and curved like a poisonous snake, and climbed up to her feet.
This reminded her of the vines she encountered in Yinlin Mountain. If she was not careful, the vines would wrap around her neck, making it difficult for the gods to save her.
And the river water was like vines, entangled around her ankles, just waiting to take the opportunity to drag her into the river.
Jiang Yao moved farther away from the river bank and finally got away. However, as long as a person gets close to the river bank, the river water will silently climb up to her ankles again, looking for opportunities to drown her.
She took out the rattle from her arms and shook it as the rapids of the river collided.
'Bang bang...'
The sound was so startling that all the water from the ankles receded, with the same effect as a vine.
Jiang Yao seemed to feel something, and looked into the black river with the oil lamp in his hand.
Pale and ferocious faces appeared, glaring at her bitterly.
These are all the resentful souls who died tragically in the Black River.
At this moment, he was afraid of the rattle in her hand and did not dare to do evil again.
Jiang Yao walked quickly along the river bank while playing the drum. When the river water receded, it stopped shaking, and when the river water rushed in again, it started shaking again.
Back and forth, the resentful souls in the river were tortured enough, knowing that she was playing tricks on them, the Black River fell silent. No matter whether she shook or not, no more water climbed up the bank and wrapped around her ankles.
'Why. '
Jiang Yao sighed inwardly.
The hard-earned fun is gone, and I blame myself for playing too hard.
At this time, we finally arrived at the lower reaches of the Heihe River. This is also the end of the Heihe River, forming a round lake like a large swimming pool, surrounded by a dark dense forest. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, but it has condensed into a thick layer of ice and cold fog. Covered, the temperature is lower.
Jiang Yao's breath turned into wisps of white mist, and the coldness invaded his whole body, making him numb from the cold. After shaking for a while, the blood seemed to start flowing.
The rain has disappeared, and goose-feather-like snowflakes are flying down one after another, landing on the palms of my hands, which is even cooler than the rain.
To the naked eye, the upper end of Round Lake is filled with a thick and sinister atmosphere.
There are stone tablets standing on all sides of the lake. The stone tablet is carved with curse patterns, like tadpoles swimming, but looking at the texture on it, it looks more like suppression.
Jiang Yao didn't quite understand this. He remembered that there was a well-informed president beside him and couldn't help but ask.
"What is the use of the stone tablet?"
Jiang Ji held up an umbrella to cover the snow again, standing on the shore of the snowy lake in a black robe, which made him stand out.
As soon as he caught her gaze, he almost lost his grip on the handle of the umbrella in his hand. The umbrella shook a few times, then managed to stabilize it. He looked away, spoke slowly, and answered one by one.
"A monument has been erected in the east, west, north and south of the Round Lake. The forbidden curse on the monument..."
It was almost as she guessed. The function of the stone tablet was to suppress. One tablet was enough to suppress a terrifying monster, and these four tablets were already destructive compared to the monsters in the round lake.
Looking at the turbulent and thick Yin evil energy at the top of the lake, it is also a peak of destruction level.
If the stone monument is destroyed, the rules of the Mysterious Domain will not be able to restrain this monster, and the difficulty of the Mysterious Domain will rise from level 50 to over 70. By then, it will be too late for the national blockade, which will bring an unimaginable impact on the real world. disaster.
