Several people were standing there thinking, Xu Ye suddenly pointed to the exit and asked, "Why don't we go that way?"
The fool vividly described the rotten monster guarding the iron gate in the cave.
Xu Ye nodded after hearing this. He seemed to be thinking about something, but he didn't say anything.
If you continue walking down, you don't know where it will end.
"How about we go back and kill it," the fool looked back. "It's actually a waste of time to go down now. I've had a face-to-face encounter with that thing. Apart from its great strength, I don't feel that it has any other dangers for the time being. .”
Lan swallowed.
Even a fool thinks that monster is powerful...
There were some differences in opinions, but the team could not be separated. After a few discussions, the exploratory group temporarily compromised and turned around and walked back.
When passing near the area where the hole was opened, the choking white smoke was still lingering. It seemed that the fire outside the castle showed no signs of extinguishing.
The fool walked to the iron gate first and looked back at the Taoist Priest and Lao Luo.
"Shall I open it now?"
There was deathly silence on the other side of the door, and there seemed to be no living thing.
"Wait a minute," the Taoist priest raised his hand, "don't open it yet, you idiot, block the door."
The fool did as he was told, holding the iron door with both arms. The Taoist priest flicked his left hand in the air, and a golden light shone on the edge of the iron door for a few seconds. When the light dissipated, the Taoist priest seemed to have grasped something and put it in his coat pocket.
"What, is there power over there?" the Taoist priest asked.
The fool frowned and felt it, then shook his head.
"Bao Mu, come here and smell it."
"I can't smell it," Baomu said with a bitter look on his face, "It's so smelly here, I feel like my sense of smell no longer exists."
The Taoist priest closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, then whispered, "Open the door, be careful."
The heavy iron door rumbled open. The Taoist priest put his hands on the fool's side in a defensive posture, and Luo Jiu's light shone through at the same time.
There was no one outside the door.
"Is it gone?" Qin Yin asked hiding behind Yue Yue San's shoulder.
"It seems like he left."
The Taoist leader stepped to the front in one step and waved for everyone to follow. This time, Lao Luo came from behind to avoid the danger from the last time.
The distance was not long, but fear made these minutes become longer. Several people walked to the exit and looked at the sparkling water at the entrance of the cave, only to realize that the monster had indeed left.
Putting on the mask again, they rescued their companions and prepared to return to the garden.
Lan followed Qin Yin and paddled a few times, and slowly felt that something was not right.
When I entered the water before, I had the impression that the water was very shallow, only about half a person's height.
But now I have been swimming upstream for a while, and I still haven’t seen the surface of the water...
An inexplicable panic hit Lan's heart.
As if echoing the panic in her heart, suddenly, her left foot was pulled by a thin force.
"Jasmine, don't make trouble!" A few bubbles popped out of Lan's mouth. When he looked sideways, he saw that Jasmine and Bai Su had swam above him and were looking at him with strange expressions.
Jasmine gestured to herself, as if asking, "What's wrong?"
Lan pointed to his feet and looked at them hopefully.
It must be an aquatic plant, it must be an aquatic plant, it must be an aquatic plant, aquatic plant, aquatic plant, aquatic plant...
At first glance, it really looks like aquatic plants.
The moment he met the thing's eyes, Lan's chest tightened, and another string of bubbles rolled up.
The one grabbing his ankle was the monster that had rotted into a grass-green color.
Lao Luo and Luo Jiuyou were slanting behind them and saw the thing clearly at a glance. They kicked off the water in the opposite direction and rushed towards it.
Everything in the water seemed to be in slow motion, and Errao's movements were much slower than on the shore. When Luo Jiu raised his hand to shoot a black thunder, the monster had already nimbly dodged aside, dragging Lan and swimming underwater.
Lan felt the power from the fool's mouth, and he was pulled left and right like a waterweed. When his friends reacted and swam towards him, Lan had been pulled deeper into the water.
With no other choice, she rolled up her upper body with strength from her abdomen, and desperately grabbed her feet with both hands, trying to pry the hand away.
Moving his gaze downward, Lan's movements were immediately halted by the underwater scene.
The green clusters that were originally thought to be water plants turned out to be a pair of rotten human hands extending upward.
It was exactly the same as the hands holding him.
The green hands were arranged one after another, so densely packed that it was hard to see what was underneath the hands, but it was definitely not something good.
Never be pulled into it.
Lan grabbed the dry wood-like hand, pinched the monster's fingers and pulled them apart hard. However, although the fingers were so rotten that there were almost only bones left, they were firmly clasped on Lan's ankle like an iron lock.
Getting closer to the water meadow made of green hands.
If you are pulled in, will you... become a part of it?
Lan gritted his teeth and reached out to hold the monster's wrist, intending to break it off directly.
But the moment his hand touched the monster's body, several strange scenes seemed to appear in front of him.
"kill him!"
"Drown him!"
"This is a monster! It must..."
Among the angry crowd, a figure stood out.
Through the turbulent water, Lan couldn't see clearly.
"we can not……"
"I want to do evil..."
"calm!"
It's a girl's voice.
Why does this sound sound a bit like...
A sharp sword sound
Something crossed my hand.
"thump!"
The vision gradually became clearer.
Lan still maintained the same posture as before, grinning and grabbing the monster's hand.
Monsters are different.
It raised its face, a pair of dark eyes staring directly at Lan's face.
The rotten eye sockets showed no emotion.
But Lan felt that it seemed to want something.
With his hands feeling hot, Lan looked at his fist holding the monster's wrist. A few strands of ink-like stuff were pouring out from between his fingers, floating in the water.
The monster Bai Sensen's teeth opened and closed a few times, his green hand loosened, and he fell down.
Lan quickly let go of his hand.
It turns out that the black water did not originate from him.
Lan looked at the black water that was constantly emerging from the monster's hand, bit his lip, and stepped on the water with all his strength. With a stroke of his hands, he came out of the water with a splash.
Seeing the surprised expressions on his companions' faces, Lan understood that it was by no means as simple as a hallucination.
"It...poof!...bah...what did it do to you?..."
Qin Yin spit out the dirty water in his mouth and rushed over with water dripping from his mouth.
When Qin Yin took off the water plants on his head, Lan asked, "Have you seen anything underwater?"
"Underwater?" Qin Yin shook the dark green water plants, "It's this thing, it's everywhere, I'm afraid I'm going to break my secret..."
"What did you see?" The Taoist priest helped Lan to the shore.
"Hands," Lan murmured, "I saw green hands under the water."
Qin Yin quickly waved her hand, "Impossible. No matter what, how can hands and water plants be the same? I can still tell them apart..."
The Taoist priest also said firmly, "What we saw are water plants."
Only you are different.
Because he was caught, the world in his eyes has changed?
Lan hammered his head several times in distress, "Forget it, let's go find Xisuo quickly. Feng and Que are still down there. We need to deal with Caixiao as soon as possible."
