Chapter 865: Helpless
Lu Yi's team was the last to arrive at the lake, and now everyone understands that these so-called forks in the road all end in the same way, and the end point is the same - this unknown underground dark lake. Obviously, the first arrivals had already searched the rest of the space, and since nothing had been found, the final focus was on the murky and bottomless lake.
Along the way, several teams of people have exchanged information, and everyone has felt the vibration from the ground, in addition, the team on the left has found some traces left by the banyan demons "accidentally", of course, from those traces, their destination should also be here.
"What now?" everyone now looked at Dongfang Yulong, the commander of this demon slayer operation, with such questions.
The Oriental Jade Dragon's face sank like water, staring at the lake without saying a word. This time, the bosses of the alliance were completely toyed with by these shape-shifting demon beasts, first deliberately revealing their whereabouts to lure the monks of Extinguishing Cloud City to be fooled and trying to trap the high-ranking monks of the human race, and then seeing the large number of human monks coming, they deceived everyone into the crypt after fooling them, trying to use the characteristics of the many branches of the crypt to disperse everyone so that they could be defeated individually; seeing that the Terran monks were not trapped, they simply escaped from this underground dark lake and left everyone with an empty shell. This time, the Terrans dispatched so many elites, but they have been led by the nose by the other party, and anyone will feel angry in their hearts.
"Do you have any good way to enter this lake? The old man has just tried, and with my mental power, I can only find the appearance of less than 30 feet underwater, and this water is mixed with a large amount of sediment and other things, which is too turbid, and the naked eye cannot see through the situation in the water, and it is definitely not appropriate to go down rashly. Dongfang Yulong spoke, he was still unwilling to lose the traces of the group of shape-shifting demon beasts.
"Let me give it a try, the old man has been immersed in the magic for thousands of years, and he has a lot of experience in avoiding water. A young man of medium stature stepped forward and stood less than a foot away from the lake.
"It turned out to be a Daoist friend of Sixi, and I have heard that Daoist friends are quite good at obtaining water system exercises, and if I can get the help of Daoist friends today, I will definitely make that group of beasts have nothing to hide. Dongfang Yulong's face was happy when he saw that person, obviously he had heard of this person, "I don't know how you want to explore this dark lake?" If you plan to risk your life, the old man thinks you should be a little restless, see if other Taoist friends have magical powers to be with Taoist friends, otherwise it is too dangerous for you to go alone." ”
"Hehe, thank you Brother Dongfang for your kindness, the old man naturally knows that the beasts are uneasy and kind, the old man has a magic weapon in his hand, which can help us to explore the underwater situation, and the old man will use it to open everyone's eyes. "Muddy Creek said proudly.
I saw him rub his hands, a white light flashed, and a golden short stick as thick as chopsticks appeared in his hand, he threw this thing into the air, and the short stick was straight on the surface of the lake. This thing is called the water exploration stick, which is made of a variety of rare metals blended together, this thing has no special ability to fight, but it has a special effect of transmitting the underwater situation, I use it myself on weekdays, just use it as an eye to observe the underwater situation, today I don't want to have the opportunity to show you the extraordinary of this treasure. ”
When the water probe rod flew to the top of the lake, Sixi stretched out his hand a little, and a strange thing happened, only to see that the probe rod was full of golden light and began to fall underwater, and in a blink of an eye, it was completely submerged underwater, everyone on the lake surface could see that the golden light illuminated a large area around the water, like a ball of light constantly falling into deep water, a picture was generated in the mid-air position where the water probe rod just stayed, the picture was the scene of the water probe rod in the area illuminated by the water, this is Sixi used his own mental power to control the water probe rod to explore underwater, and then through the spiritual power to form a picture feedback to everyone。 The lake is muddy, and the range that can be illuminated by the water probe rod is only about ten zhang in a radius, and the water probe is controlled by the water probe rod to dive in a circle in the lake, and everyone can see the situation at the bottom of the lake at a glance through that picture. There weren't many creatures in the lake, not even a few of the larger fish, so the stick went all the way down, and soon it was about a hundred feet down. Obviously, it is not so simple to control this water exploration rod, especially to generate a mirror image transmission for everyone to see, the consumption of spiritual power and spiritual power is naturally very large, and Sixi is also preoccupied at the moment.
"Whoosh!" When everyone saw a slender black shadow, the water probe stick was also instantly caught by something, and the mirror picture went black, and then the muddy stream let out a muffled snort, and the whole person took a few steps backwards and sat on the ground. In the flash of light, the water probe rod was taken away by something I don't know.
"Brother Si, what's wrong?" Dongfang Yulong hurriedly stretched out his hand to help Sixi up, and when he saw that he was fine, he asked.
"What did you see just now?" Except for his pale face, he was startled just now, but he was not injured, he took a few breaths and calmed down a little before asking everyone.
"I only saw a black shadow flashing, and the picture was broken, Brother Si, do you perceive anything?" asked a monk who was familiar with Sixi.
"That thing was too fast just now, I guess you may not be able to see it really, but the old man really felt it, it should be a tongue of a demon beast. My mental power is always on the water probe stick, just now that thing wrapped the water probe rod and quickly pulled it into the deep water, and at the same time cut off the spiritual connection between the water probe stick and me, I tried to resist but was not an opponent at all, and was defeated in a moment. I was hit by the loss of mental power, so I fell. "Muddy Creek explained to everyone the details of what happened just now.
"Tongue?!What kind of demon beast can have such a powerful tongue?Could it be that there are other high-level shape-shifting demon beasts in this water?!Otherwise, it would be impossible to snatch the magic weapon from a mid-stage spirit building monk at once?!" everyone was moved when they heard this.
"Ladies and gentlemen, do you remember the mirage in the valley?" at this time, someone spoke, "That mirage has a classic record, it is a special ability of a toad-like demon beast, and another characteristic of a toad demon beast is that it has a flexible tongue. This is the monk who explained the origin of the mirage to everyone after Lu Yi broke the mirage before, "The level of the mirage is not low, and it can affect us in the middle stage of spirit building, at least it is also an existence of the same level, and even, it may be even higher than us, I remember that among our opponents this time, there is a great demon who is in the middle stage of transformation, isn't this mirage and this terrifying tongue from that big demon?"
With everyone's brainstorming, the situation of the underwater demon beast has been guessed.
In this way, the body of this group of shapeshifting demon beasts is basically determined, a giant ape, a flying leopard, a giant bear, a banyan demon, and their boss is very likely to be a toad demon beast. It's just that we only saw the giant ape and the banyan demon this time, but the other three demon beasts never showed up, it is estimated that they are hiding in this dark lake and ready to plot against us at any time, I didn't expect that the minds of these evil beasts are so vicious and vicious. Dongfang Yulong looked at the lake that had returned to calm and said.
"Ladies and gentlemen, it is now clear that these beasts are afraid of our majesty and cannot come out of the water, and I wonder if you can force them out, or if there is any means by which we can exterminate them in the lake. Dongfang Yulong turned to look at everyone for advice and said.
Everyone, you look at me, I look at you, and for a while, no one spoke. Now that the enemy is dark and we are clear, if they rely on this dark lake to attack with all their hearts, it is not something that can be solved by relying on a large number of people. Moreover, although everyone is a ninth-order monk, and their activities in the water will not be greatly affected, there are always some monks whose strength in the water will be greatly reduced due to their own spiritual power attributes, not to mention that the magic weapon will also be affected by the lake water and will not be able to exert its normal power. The scene was a little cold for a while, no one could come up with good advice for a long time, and the painless methods proposed by some people were obviously impractical.
"Bai boy, you have always had a lot of ideas, how about it?Now that the time comes to need you, what do you think?" Seeing that everyone didn't speak, it was Daiki Ancestor who thought of Lu Yi first.
As soon as these words came out, many old guys who knew about the past of the white-haired Dan God also looked at Lu Yi, I don't know if it was an illusion, these people felt that it seemed that this white-haired kid with wild ideas might really have a way.
"Well, is this?" Lu Yi touched his nose with one hand, "Actually, I have been thinking about it just now, everyone looks at this dark lake, it is surrounded by rocks, and its formation must be a dark river underground, so that this group of demon beasts can advance and retreat freely, if they can't sneak attack us, they will escape from the water, and we don't dare to chase it rashly, rather than being so consumed, it is better for us to retreat." ”
"Huh?!" Everyone was taken aback by Lu Yi's bold remarks. No one could have imagined that Lu Yi would dare to say such a "reactionary remark" that would destroy his morale.
In fact, Lu Yi's words have already reached the hearts of many people, the current situation is actually very embarrassing on both sides, the alliance side wants to seek a decisive battle between the demon beasts, and the demon beasts want to get a little cheap and leave, now, the two sides face each other across the lake, the monk side does not want to go down to be attacked by the demon beasts, and the demon beasts do not want to come up and be beaten by the monks, so there is no point in going on like this. As other mid-stage cultivators, this is naturally not allowed to speak, although there are not a few people who think this way, but there are always people who don't think so, so if someone of the same level brings it up, it may cause disharmony in the team. However, Lu Yi is a junior, and his words seem to these old guys to be a bit "childlike". Therefore, when Lu Yi said what many people wanted to say but did not dare to say or was inconvenient to say, the scene was a little chaotic.
