Under Yousheng's inspiration, everyone chose the third cave entrance from the left and walked in. The transition area this time was not long, and they soon got a glimpse of another larger stone chamber.
Unlike the previous bare altar room, the walls here were covered with creeping plants, which even blew down from the ceiling. They looked like curtains, blocking most of the people's sight.
However, even from the gap, several people could vaguely see a stone pool with a human-height edge in the deepest part of the stone chamber, which was filled with blood-red liquid. The fluorescent plants hanging above the pool were brighter than those in the previous room, and the light reflected off the water onto the stone wall, making it somewhat dazzling.
At this time, the halo on the wall suddenly shook. Of course it was not an earthquake, but the liquid in the pool moved.
An object emerged from the water. Because of the vines, everyone could only vaguely see that it was a woman. She had long snow-white hair and her body below the shoulders was not in the water.
The woman raised one hand, and you could see that her arm was as smooth as jade, but there was a circle of strangulation marks on her wrist. Along with her actions, some white vines as thick as a little finger also poked out of the pool. These vines had no leaves, and their bare bodies twisted outward like poisonous snakes, and soon stretched into another hole in the stone room.
Yi Liuling recognized that the white vine was exactly the same as the picture on the plant encyclopedia. It should be the white witch flower that had undergone mutation. But what happened to that woman? She is obviously one with the plants. Could it be that the White Witch Flower has evolved into a human form?
In order to see more clearly, he squeezed forward slightly, but suddenly felt his ears itching. When he turned his head, he saw Fei Huihua apologetically pinning his blown hair with a hairpin.
etc? windy? Yi Liuling looked at the hole again. There was probably a door over there. The white vines opened it, creating a ventilation effect.
Sure enough, with a muffled sound, several people tied like mummies by vines were dragged in.
"Seven," Ellenpi whispered, "It's them."
It seems that this is the group of adventurers that disappeared before.
These unfortunate guys were hung up by the vines, and then the woman let out a sweet laugh. Although it was very pleasant, it was inexplicably weird.
"Are we going to save them now?" Jonathan asked, speaking in his normal voice.
Fei Huihua waved his hand violently, and then Ellenpi and Kunyi dragged Jonathan, who had not yet realized what was going on, to the left and the right, and turned and ran away with the others.
They fled all the way, and the speed of the vines was astonishing. If Fei Huihua hadn't reacted quickly and used an illusion to delay the time, everyone would have been caught by now. Kun Yi took out the Skull Crushing Staff with his free hand and threw several earth walls behind him.
However, skills such as Earth Wall Technique are generally one-time use, and there is no hope of relying on it for long-term obstruction or defense. Even Yousheng's vines, with the blessing of Yi Liuling's magic power, couldn't stop these earthen walls for a few times, not to mention the weird white vines, which simply broke at a touch.
However, it also takes time to touch. They listened to the crackling sound of vines behind them, and their speed increased a bit. Finally, they rushed out of the cellar entrance and covered the two wooden boards.
It's strange to say that the rotten wooden door is obviously more fragile, but the vines stop chasing after them here. I wonder if there is a length limit.
"Huhuhu," because everyone had to run up the last stone steps quickly, everyone was panting. Yi Liuling was the first to recover and criticized Jonathan, "We are peeking, how can you be so loud? "
"A brave man doesn't do secret things." Jonathan said confidently.
Yi Liuling secretly decided not to take this guy with her next time she goes there.
However, they did not see Ji Shuzhai and Gudu in the basement before, but only the group that disappeared a month ago, so Yi Liuling suspected that Ji Shuzhai and the others had not been caught.
Several people turned around and walked back, but Jonathan was still a little puzzled: "Why not save people? It's rare for us to come to this point in time."
"No," Kun Yi explained on the side, "Now we are in a fragment of time in the past. You can understand it as something similar to an illusion, which means that everything we do here is meaningless."
Jonathan seemed to understand: "Then let's go and save people in reality."
"I'll go there in a while, find Xiao Ji and the others first." Yi Liuling thought for a while, then consulted the living encyclopedia Kun Yi, "The time barrier is not an illusion after all. What will happen if Gudu and the others are really attacked? Sample?"
"Let's see if we can escape," Kun Yi replied, "If we are killed, we will really die."
This is the annoying thing about time enchantment, because it selects an independent point in time, so no matter what outsiders do here, they cannot change reality. But if outsiders are counterattacked, they will really lose their lives. It is a completely thankless task.
Therefore, in the ranking of the most disgusting professions, Time Mage is even higher than Curse Warlock. Number one is the Destiny Weaver, who is known as "unpreventable". Therefore, Angela and the students in the entire department are in a kind of other-worldly situation. I don't like them, but I don't dare to hit them.
At this time, Yi Liuling's alchemy communication device rang. Speaking of which, the signal tower in this place was damaged. There was no signal for mobile devices at all, so only the phone in the tavern that worked with the fixed alchemy array could be used.
However, Alchemist also took this issue into consideration when designing it, so this contact device also has a short-range connection method, similar to Bluetooth. The devices held by several of them are all connected to each other and can be used as walkie-talkies within a certain range.
Yi Liuling answered the phone and heard Ji Shuzhai's voice, but it was a recording: "Ah, Brother Ling, I encountered a very strange enemy, maybe a demon. Gudu and I escaped first. Our village See you outside!”
"Hey, I can't get through." Yi Liuling called back, but only heard the beep beep of the line being busy.
"I understand," Kun Yi clapped his hands, "They were at the same time as us just now, so they were able to call us, but they probably left the village at the same time as the call and went to a later time period, so they The phone call turned into a recording.”
"Then, for us, they are in the future now, so I can't get through?" Yi Liuling continued.
"That should be the case," Kun Yi nodded, "That's okay, at least it means nothing happened to them. The White Witch Flower seems to only attack people in the village. They are safe outside."
"Well," Yi Liuling nodded, "Now that we have determined the location of the White Witch Flower, we should go to the real village to have a look. It takes three months for the White Witch Flower to mature, and those people might still be alive."
"How do you know that they are related to the maturity of the White Witch Flower?" Ellenpi suddenly asked.
