I looked in the direction of Wang Wangyang's finger.
At the bottom of the water plants, there was a round thing falling. It looked like a potato and was about the size of a fist.
It looks gray, as if the surface is covered with a layer of pitch-black coal. If you look carefully, you can vaguely see human facial features through the coal.
The moment my face touched it, the fist-sized head suddenly opened its eyes, and those fierce and cold eyes instantly looked at me.
The next second, this thing suddenly bared its sharp teeth, and an extremely fishy smell hit his face.
"Get out of the way."
I realized something was wrong, so I quickly took out the sword above and hit Wang Wangyang's hand with the hilt.
Wang Wangyang subconsciously let go of his hand.
And at this moment, the head suddenly turned over, and its sharp teeth bit Wang Wangyang's arm directly.
If I hadn't let go quickly enough, the guy might have bitten Wang Wangyang's protective suit.
His teeth bit directly on the water plant, instantly tearing the water plant into powder like a mad dog.
Wang Wangyang covered his wrist with lingering fear.
He immediately retreated to my side, carefully took out the dagger, and stared warily at the human head that fell under the water plants in front of him.
"What the hell is this?"
I shook my head, unable to figure out the nature of this thing.
But when I looked at the water plants at our feet again, I also understood that there was a mystery hidden in it.
If it weren't for the power of the sword above suppressing the weird heads below, I might have been bitten by these things.
I thought about it and winked at Wang Wangyang.
"Wang Wangyang, please step back. I'll try again to see if I can cut down these aquatic plants."
If there is any difference between me and Wang Wangyang, it is the Shang Fang Sword in my hand.
When I just pulled out these water plants, I saw these dark and strange human heads underneath, as if these things were hidden.
It wasn't until I threw these things out that the heads came out again and were discovered by Wang Wangyang.
A suspicion arose in my heart.
These things are hiding from the Shang Fang sword in my hand, so as long as I hold it in my hand, these things will not show their heads.
I am safe. Only if I search for Cui Hao inside can I successfully pull this kid out.
If it were Wang Wangyang, he would definitely be in danger.
Wang Wangyang also knew that I don't fight unprepared, so he nodded to me and immediately took a few steps back to make room.
I quickly raised the sword above, took a breath and chopped directly at the water plants.
The next second, after I pulled out the water plants that I had cut, I found that there was nothing underneath.
But just when I threw these water plants aside, the lower ends of the water plants began to squirm slightly, and then a black head the size of a fist came out from underneath.
And these water plants are like the hair on these heads, extremely frightening.
It seems that just as I guessed, these things are afraid of the Shang Fang sword in my hand.
I immediately held Shang Fang's sword and approached the head, approaching his face.
And at the moment when Shang Fang's sword was about to get close to the thing's head, an extremely sharp shout suddenly came from our ears.
The sound was a bit shriller than the sound of fingernails scraping against a blackboard. It even penetrated the helmets of our protective suits and penetrated directly into our minds.
I was so dizzy at the shouting of this voice that I almost fainted due to the shaking of my body.
But my situation seemed to be much more stable than theirs. Wang Wangyang, who was right next to me, shook his body, swayed down, and fell head first.
If I hadn't grabbed this guy, he might have fallen directly into these water plants.
I hurriedly dragged Wang Wangyang's body and swam outward.
At this time, Zhuge Chalcedony and several other people who noticed that something was wrong with us also swam to our side and looked at the aquatic plants around us with vigilant expressions.
"What happened?"
Zhuge Chalcedony’s warm voice rang in my ears.
I shook my head and pointed at the water plants in the ground and waved at them.
"Don't come here. There is something in these water plants that will attack people. The weird sound waves just now were emitted by these guys."
The moment he heard my words, Zhuge Chalcedony's face suddenly showed a look of surprise.
He immediately grabbed Zhao Yueming, who wanted to check the situation, and dragged him backwards.
"Beanhead grass, I really didn't expect that there is such a thing in this place. I advise you to listen to my advice and stay away from these things as much as possible, otherwise you will suffer a loss in their hands sooner or later. Maybe you guys will. Explain here."
My heart trembled. I didn't expect that Zhuge Chalcedony actually knew the names of these things.
Beangrass, this is the first time I heard such a name.
But Cui Hao has probably fallen into these water plants. I have to figure out the weaknesses of these things and find a way to check the situation, so that maybe I can rescue Cui Hao from underneath.
I quickly asked Zhuge Chalcedony.
"What is beangrass? Can you tell us more about it?"
I briefly told Zhuge Chalcedony about my guess that Cui Hao had been entangled in these water plants.
After listening to my words, Zhuge Chalcedony's face showed a hint of helplessness and sympathy.
"Chen Xiaoman, I know you are an open-minded person, but I have to warn you. These bean-head grasses are really not easy to deal with. If your partner is really entangled by these water plants, then he will be at risk. There is no way to survive, I advise you to follow us to open the door as soon as possible, and just treat your companion as dead?"
When I heard this, I immediately clenched my fists and wanted to punch this guy in the cold face.
You must know that Cui Hao followed me through life and death, went to so many places, and suffered so much.
This time it was purely because of me that he followed me to the underground, if only for the invisible and intangible jewelry.
Cui Hao is too lazy to come down. He can hire some people to act as middlemen to earn the price difference.
Cui Hao usually looks carefree, but he also cares about his life. He usually won't end up in extremely dangerous and fierce places personally.
The only two exceptions made were most likely to follow me.
Once I lost the Dingguan Stone Monument, and the other time I came to the Jade Pool.
If I really don't care about Cui Hao's life or death and put him in danger, then I will have to give myself a slap in the face for the rest of my life.
I stared at Zhuge Chalcedony coldly.
"If you want to persuade me, you don't need to say any more. This is my friend. I have considerations in my heart. I just want you to tell me one thing. What is this beanhead grass? Is there any way to restrain him? Can I put it into use? Save my friend."
Seeing my firm attitude, Zhuge Chalcedony actually showed a look of admiration on his face.
When he spoke to me, his voice was no longer as cold as before, but rather soft and gentle.
"If you want to save your friends, you have to restrain the invasion of these beangrass. In fact, there are some considerations in the origin of these things."
Zhuge Chalcedony briefly told us the origin of these water plants.
Only then did I realize that these aquatic plants were actually made artificially, and were specially used to guard the coffin buried underwater.
You must know that above the ground, countless hidden weapons can be set up in the tombs on the ground. You can even use some strange armor-proofing techniques or strange creatures found from all directions to guard the tombs and avoid the invasion of tomb robbers.
But some tombs are quite special. For example, the water tomb in front of me is buried under the water, so the strange and weird creatures on the ground cannot survive in such an environment.
Although some strange underwater creatures have been found and stuffed into these tombs, the number of these creatures is limited.
And because most of these creatures come from the deep sea, their controllability is very poor. If they are placed in a tomb, they may not be able to be used as tomb-guarding beasts. Instead, they may tear down their owner's home.
Maybe the tomb robbers didn't come first, and the tomb would have been smashed to pieces by these weird things.
Therefore, when ancient emperors wanted to set up their own tombs, they would have some warlocks and methods trained in advance to act as guardians of their own tombs.
As for the creatures that came down from the ground, there are also those weird and strange living creatures that are scattered in all directions. Because they are limited in number and most of them are extremely fierce, they basically do not obey human control.
Therefore, facing these things, the alchemists felt that the danger was too great, so they later thought of some ways to artificially produce something.
The beanhead grass I am facing is one of them.
This bean-head grass is made from a baby-sized head, combined with a creature similar to aquatic plants found under the ground, raised together and cultivated together.
To be precise, these water plants directly resided in the baby's brain while he was still alive, and successfully connected with the baby.
Later, the bodies of these babies began to gradually degenerate until they slowly shrank to no more than a little finger.
As for his head, because it has become the root system and nourishment of the water plant, it is said that it will maintain its original appearance and size and will no longer shrink or change.
