Chapter 149 Black Water Pool
Chapter 149 Black Water Pool
"We are not far from our junior brother's location." Ming Xiaoxi said excitedly.
Jing Yu smiled slightly and nodded.
When Yu Qiuyi heard this, he was shocked. He thought he had finally found the person.
However, Mo Zihan was nearby, which meant that the thing that could hurt Mo Zihan was also nearby.
Thinking of this, Yu Qiuyi immediately became alert.
She knew that if she could think of this, others should be able to think of it too, but she still reminded softly: "We have to be careful. Brother Mo is nearby, so the things that can hurt Brother Mo should also be nearby."
Ming Xiaoxi and Jing Yu immediately straightened their expressions upon hearing this, and nodded to Yu Qiuyi at the same time, indicating that they understood and were grateful for Yu Qiuyi's reminder.
Although Mo Zihan was not far away from them, based on Mo Zihan's current state, Yu Qiuyi and the other two did not dare to delay or relax their vigilance. They ran quickly in the direction guided by the breath lamp.
As he was running, Yu Qiuyi smelled a foul odor, and looking at the direction indicated by the breath light in Ming Xiaoxi's hand, it was the direction where the odor came from.
Yu Qiuyi frowned slightly, it seemed to be mixed with a fishy and rotten smell.
Moreover, with such a strong smell, there must be a lot of things coming from it.
As Yu Qiuyi and the other two walked, light slowly appeared in front of their eyes. It was the light from dim oil lamps hanging on the old walls. They illuminated the road ahead and allowed the three to see each other clearly.
The three of them looked at each other and saw vigilance in each other's eyes, but the movement of the aura light showed that they had not yet reached Mo Zihan's location.
Yu Qiuyi and the other two had no choice but to continue walking carefully in the direction of the light.
As they continued to move forward, the stench became stronger and stronger. Yu Qiuyi's stomach churned and he almost vomited.
She secretly glanced at Jing Yu and Ming Xiaoxi, and found that there was nothing unusual about them. She couldn't help but wonder: Could it be that they couldn't smell any smell when they came here?
As she thought about it, she asked, "Friend Jing, Friend Ming, don't you smell anything strange?"
"Yes." The two answered in unison.
After getting this answer, Yu Qiuyi became even more confused.
"Don't you think it smells bad?" At this moment, Yu Qiuyi felt dizzy from the stench, and his face turned a little pale.
Ming Xiaoxi and Jing Yu looked at each other, and then looked at Yu Qiuyi strangely.
"We have blocked our nose sense." Jing Yu said slowly.
Yu Qiuyi: “…” By the way, the immortal cultivation novels she had read also stated that one could close the six senses, but the novels did not explain how to close them.
By the way, now they can only use soul power, can they just block some of the soul power in their noses?
No, cultivators can hold their breath better than ordinary people, but they still need to breathe. If they block their noses directly, can't they breathe through their mouths?
If you breathe through your mouth, won't you inhale more foul smells? The thought of it makes me sick.
The main reason people can smell odors is through the olfactory nerves. So if we block the olfactory nerves, can we block our nose sense?
Thinking of Yu Qiuyi, she did it. Sure enough, when Yu Qiuyi's soul power blocked her olfactory nerves, she could no longer smell any scent.
As soon as Yu Qiuyi closed his nose, he entered a hall.
After entering the hall, Yu Qiuyi and the other two stopped and looked around vigilantly.
There is a pool in the center of the hall. There are some strange symbols and patterns around the pool. The pool is full of black liquid. The foul smell should be coming from this black pool.
Behind the black water pool were rows of sarcophagi. Yu Qiuyi roughly counted them and found that there were at least twenty of them.
The flame on the wick of the breath lamp in Ming Xiaoxi's hand was pointing at one of the rows of sarcophagi.
Yu Qiuyi looked at the black water pool where he couldn't see what was inside, and the sarcophagi, and always felt that the two seemed to be connected.
But no matter how she looked, she couldn't see anything.
Yu Qiuyi was just about to try to release a trace of spiritual consciousness to investigate the black water pool when he heard Ming Xiaoxi's somewhat excited voice.
"Third Junior Brother, my little Junior Brother is inside that sarcophagus." Ming Xiaoxi's originally depressed heart finally relaxed a little at this moment. She pointed at the sarcophagus that the breath lamp pointed to and whispered.
As she spoke, Ming Xiaoxi was about to go towards the sarcophagus that the breath lamp was pointing to. However, just as she was about to take a step, she was pulled back by Jing Yu.
Ming Xiaoxi looked at Jingyu in confusion, only to see Jingyu gently shook his head and motioned Ming Xiaoxi to look at the black pool.
"Senior Sister, don't be anxious. Something is wrong there." Jing Yu said in a low voice.
It's too quiet here, so quiet that it's a little abnormal. I always feel like there's something lurking in the dark, waiting for its chance to strike.
Although he had already explored the hall with his spiritual sense, he did not find anything wrong.
But not noticing anything wrong is the biggest problem.
Especially the black pool that exudes a foul smell, which always gives people a very weird and uneasy feeling.
Jing Yu believed that there must be something inside, and the black water pool was between them and the sarcophagus. If they wanted to get to the sarcophagus, they had to pass through the black water pool.
But Mo Zihan is in the sarcophagus in front of them. The purpose of their coming here is to save Mo Zihan. Now that they have found him, how could they give up?
Ming Xiaoxi looked at the black pool and didn't find anything. The water in the pool looked like stagnant water.
She released her spiritual sense and probed into the black water pool.
But she found nothing in the black pool except various rotting plant and animal remains.
In order to avoid missing anything, she searched again carefully, but still found nothing except the wreckage.
Since nothing could be discovered, Ming Xiaoxi had no choice but to withdraw his spiritual sense.
What Ming Xiaoxi didn’t know was that the moment she withdrew her spiritual consciousness, a skeleton slowly emerged from the bottom of the pool.
There were twenty-seven silk threads connected to the skeleton, the same number as the sarcophagi in the hall, and each thread seemed to be transmitting something to it.
It was clearly a skeleton, but its mouth was slightly open at this moment, making people feel strangely that it was smiling.
After Ming Xiaoxi withdrew his spiritual consciousness, he shook his head at Jingyu.
Jing Yu was not surprised by this. After all, he had explored the black water pool before, but did not find anything special. Now it seemed that his senior sister had not found anything either.
The junior brother is in the sarcophagus in front. Are they going to be deadlocked here forever?
Jing Yu and Ming Xiaoxi looked at each other and saw the same meaning in each other's eyes. Since their spiritual sense could not detect it, they would just attack directly.
After understanding each other's intentions, they both gathered their soul power and slapped the black water pool.
