Chapter 272 (1/2)

Delicious current, even if entered the Styx River, those who follow the hungry ghosts are not willing. They have no mind but are driven by a strong sense of hunger and thirst.

In fact, it is not only the flesh of Gou Zhu that is equal to delicious food in their eyes, but also the water of the river Styx. It is just not as strong as the attraction of the flesh of Yuanyang. Some hungry ghosts finally arrived at the cliff side of the Bank of the underworld and looked at the dark turbid waves below.

The bank is not high, but about a foot high. A big wave came and splashed on the hungry ghosts. Their bodies immediately make a sound of nourishing, smoke and melt at a speed visible to the naked eye.

Finally, no hungry ghost followed. But with the disappearance of Yuanyang's body breath, all the hungry ghosts gradually dispersed.

After entering the water, he found that it was unnecessary to take a deep breath just before entering the water. Because the bead is in his mouth, he can breathe normally. Even if you inhale with your nose in the water, you'll get fresh air, and you won't get any water.

He could feel that the air contained in the droplet was still limited. But it's enough for him to stay in the water for a few days. Even if the air in the water droplets is exhausted, as long as he emerges from the water, the water droplets can absorb the air automatically, and it only takes a day or two to fill up.

Different from Xuanshui flag, avoiding water droplets has no power to control water. So when he got into the water, he could only swim by himself. Fortunately, he was good at water. Diving for his life is just like climbing over a wall and eaves, which is one of the required courses for him to be a thief.

The surface of the river Styx is surging, and the underwater undercurrent is very fast. As soon as he entered the water, he immediately felt a strong push, which made him unable to stay. He and Lu Zhu are both in the front of the water.

From the outside, the river is dark. But when he got to the water, he found that the water was not dark. The light of various colors, just like fireflies, gather and disperse from time to time, swimming in the water.

When he got close to it, he could see that these firefly like things were strange fish with very strange appearance. Most of them are transparent, just like colloid, with a terrible mouth, long teeth in the mouth, and various luminous spots on their bodies.

These fish are also a kind of hungry ghost. Although they are not afraid of the dark water, they are also extremely hungry and thirsty. They devour each other all day long in the dark river, but they can never eliminate the pain of hunger and thirst. Even if they are engulfed by other things, they will quickly come into being in the river Styx, and this life will be long and unknown.

Fortunately, these fish are very small, and the biggest one is only the size of a palm. They do not pose a threat to the killing of the birds.

After drifting for half a day, Gou Zhu was exhausted again. Although breathing is not a problem, he still needs to keep himself drifting smoothly in the current to avoid hitting the rocks on the bank. He consumes a lot of Qi and his physical strength is gradually exhausted. He must stop to rest and replenish his true Qi.

Gou Zhu gave up the idea of landing directly. No matter how many hungry ghosts or other monsters come across again, without real Qi, even magic weapons can't be activated, and even a gust of Yin wind can kill him.

Instead, the water is much safer. At least he didn't meet any ferocious creatures on the ground except those harmless fish.

And when we get here, the water becomes smooth. Gouzhu speculated that it should have entered a certain lake. Looking around, there are more and more hungry ghost fish, and the places where the fluorescence twinkle are more and more wide. But this is in the water after all, no matter how clear the water is, he can not look too far away. Everything is annihilated in a quiet which seems to engulf heaven and earth.

Not only does the water flow become slower, but the lower it goes, the calmer it becomes. Gou Zhu simply swam directly to the deepest place. When you get to the bottom of the water, find a place to take a good breath and recover the true Qi in your body.

I can't imagine how deep the lake is, thousands of feet or thousands of feet? If you are a mortal, you can't bear such a big water pressure. Fortunately, Gouzhu has already built a foundation of seven times. At the beginning, the sea of Qi is stable, and the true Qi moves a little, and the body is indestructible.

On the contrary, under such pressure, if you practice breathing, you can get twice the result with half the effort. This was one of the reasons why he was determined to reach the bottom of the water.

To his surprise, the bottom of the water was not covered with weeds or mud as he imagined. It's too deep and there's no sunlight, so there's no vegetation. Even if the fish in the lake devour each other, there will be no debris left, so there is no mud and debris at the bottom of the lake.

At the bottom of the lake is a layer of strange white crystals, like a salt lake.

Hook Zhu took out a piece with his hand. This white crystal is very soft. It is not so much a crystal as a block like paraffin. Starting with Gouzhu, he felt very heavy and cold, but his breath was similar to the accumulated corpse Qi from his underworld orchid.

”It's burning ice!” If you had not read a lot of miscellaneous books in Danyang Pavilion, you would not have known it. It is said that the bottom of Beiming is everywhere. The reason is that a large number of the remains of living creatures were buried in the sea floor in ancient times. After ten thousand years, there was an infinite amount of corpse gas. These accumulated corpse gas is pressed on the sea floor by strong water pressure, and combined with water, it becomes ice.

Although this object is like ice, the accumulated body gas in it is made of vitality and decay and can be burned. If you encounter the fire of Xuanyin, the burning is more violent. It's just that it's stable only at a very deep bottom. If it is brought out of the water, the water pressure will disappear, and the burning ice will turn into corpse accumulation and Qi dissipation, which is useless.Gou Zhu had an idea. He took a piece of burning ice and an amber bead. He tried to stimulate the true Qi and drive the accumulated corpse gas in the burning ice into the Amber Bead.
