Chapter 691 Leeches

Mo Hua landed with a flowing step, his body was gentle, but his feet were slightly numb.

After landing, Mo Hua looked up and saw that the fog at the bottom of the well was not heavy, but the blood color was more even, flowing slowly at the bottom of the well.

In the blood fog, it seemed that something was hatching.

Mo Hua's heart was slightly trembling.

He felt that he seemed to be closer to some origin.

"Young Master?"

Gu An and the other two asked softly.

After entering the bottom of the well, they were inexplicably a little breathless, and they were uneasy, so they couldn't help but look at Mo Hua.

Mo Hua looked around and saw that at the bottom of the dry well, there was a stone corridor, which led in all directions and extended to an unknown place.

Gu An and the other two couldn't see the blood color, so they didn't know how to go.

Mo Hua nodded and said, "Follow me."

Mo Hua chose a road and walked straight inside.

Gu An walked in front of Mo Hua, Yu Dahe followed behind Mo Hua, and Gu Quan was at the back.

The three of them protected Mo Hua.

Gu An and Gu Quan had received Gu Changhuai's order to protect Mo Hua.

Yu Dahe knew that the life and death of his two youngest sons depended on this young master, so this young master must not make any mistakes.

The corridor was dry and dark, and the atmosphere was dull.

After walking for a while, a pool of stagnant water suddenly appeared in front of them. It seemed to be a big pit dug by someone, filled with water.

Mo Hua's eyes froze slightly.

He remembered his little tiger, which seemed to have fallen into the water, was attacked, and was instantly shattered.

Mo Hua released his spiritual consciousness, scanned for a moment, and his eyes sank.

"There is a monster in the water."

The breath of this monster is obscure and powerful, because it is hidden in the water, it is not easy to be detected.

The mastermind behind the small fishing village seemed to have raised a monster and thrown it into the water to block the way in order to prevent being discovered.

Gu An and Gu Quan looked at each other in surprise.

The water was muddy, and with their spiritual sense, they didn't even notice the monster hidden in the water.

Although he is a formation master, isn't the spiritual sense of young Master Mo too sharp?

He is only in the early stage of foundation building...

Yu Dahe asked weakly: "Young Master, can you tell what kind of water monster it is?"

Mo Hua shook his head.

Gu An pondered and said: "Why don't I go back and call someone down, and work together to kill this monster?"

"No." Mo Hua shook his head, "This monster should be a late-stage second-grade water monster. It is too powerful in the water. It is estimated that at least seven or eight late-stage foundation building cultivators who practice water-related skills and are proficient in water will work together to hunt it down."

Mo Hua speculated based on his experience as a monster hunter.

Gu An and Gu Quan both frowned.

The Gu family can mobilize seven or eight late foundation building masters, but they need to practice water-related skills, be proficient in water, and be good at killing in the water. These conditions are too harsh.

The fishermen in the small fishing village are proficient in water, but they are not good at killing, and there is not a single late foundation building master.

"Also," Mo Hua continued, "If we take action here and forcibly kill this water monster, it will definitely cause a big commotion, which is very likely to alert the enemy and let Guo Jianglong and his men escape."

"Those two children may not be saved..."

"Young master, then this..." Yu Dahe looked at Mo Hua, his eyes painful and full of hope.

Mo Hua sighed slightly, "Let me think about it..."

He looked at the dangerous deep pool in front of him, his eyes showing thought, and he couldn't help but think of a question.

Guo Jianglong, how did he get through?

Although Guo Jianglong is proficient in water, he only has the cultivation of the middle stage of foundation building, and it is impossible for him to be the opponent of this water monster.

Moreover, the water monster is a monster beast, and it eats people without distinguishing between enemies and friends.

Mo Hua recalled the encounter with Guo Jiang Long, and naturally thought of the dead fish.

According to Yu Dahe, this fish is called "dead spot fish".

Mo Hua asked: "What is the dead spot fish used for?"

Yu Dahe said: "This fish is poisonous. After death, there are gray spots on the body, just like 'dead spots', so it is called dead spot fish. After eating, it will cause blood stasis and paralysis of the body, just like a 'dead person', unable to move..."

Mo Hua suddenly understood.

"So that's it."

Guo Jiang Long and his men used "dead spot fish" to feed the water monster, making it unable to move, so that they could cross the river.

Mo Hua thought about it, and asked Gu An to throw a dead spot fish into the water.

The dead spot fish fell into the water, but in a moment, the water surface surged, revealing a huge and ugly head of a water monster, which swallowed the dead spot fish into its stomach.

Mo Hua's pupils shrank slightly.

Gu An and the other two were also horrified.

The species of this water monster is unknown, but its body is huge, as long as five or six people, with a deformed head and a big mouth like a blood basin. Moreover, its monster blood is thick, and its skin is covered with scales, making it indestructible.

Its protruding eyeballs are black and yellow, and it is cold and cruel.

This is a peak second-grade water monster that has lived for an unknown period of time.

After swallowing the dead spot fish, the pupils of this water monster were a little sluggish, and its body was paralyzed for a while, but it recovered in just ten breaths.

Mo Hua was startled, and then took a breath of cool air.

It is not that you can pass safely by feeding the fish and paralyzing the water monster.

The blood of this water monster is too thick.

After eating the dead spot fish, it can only be paralyzed for ten breaths. If you want to cross the river, you must swim to the other side within these ten breaths, otherwise the awakened water monster will still swallow the person crossing the river.

Gu An and the other two obviously understood it, and their faces turned pale.

Mo Hua looked at Gu An and the others without saying anything, but there was some inquiry in his eyes.

Yu Dahe had a determined look on his face and gritted his teeth and said, "I am going to save my son. Even if I die, I won't complain."

Gu An and Gu Quan nodded slightly when they heard this.

Gu An then said: "Young master, don't worry about us."

Gu Quan, on the other hand, glanced at Mo Hua with some worry, "Young Master, you'd better not take risks."

"It's okay." Mo Hua said, "I'm not slow in swimming."

When he was fine before, he had roughly learned the Bailang movement technique of Crossing the River Dragon. Although he was not very proficient in it, he could still use it with ease.

Mo Hua thought for a while and said:

"There are also three dead grouper fish. We will feed them to the water monster together later, and then we will swim to the other side immediately."

"We fed them together?" Gu Quan was startled, "What about when we come back?"

"You don't have to worry when you come back."

Mo Hua said casually.

When I come back, I am not afraid of disturbing the situation. A water monster trapped in the stagnant water is a living target. I have a hundred ways to send it to heaven.

Gu An and Gu Quan didn't know Mo Hua's plan, but after passing the Bishan Devil's Cave and his group, they had gradually gotten used to it and followed Mo Hua's orders.

The water demon finished eating a fish and slowly sank into the water.

It seems to know nothing about things on the shore, but it is only sensitive to prey in the water.

The three of them discussed it and decided to cross the river.

Gu An, Gu Quan and Yu Dahe each picked up a fish and threw it into the water in the distance.

The dead grouper fish fell into the water, and the water demon immediately showed its head again and swallowed two in one mouthful. Then, as before, its pupils were blank and a little numb.

"Walk!"

The moment the water demon ate the fish, Mo Hua said decisively.

Then several people jumped into the water together and swam hard to the other side.

Yu Dahe is a fisherman, and the water quality is very good, so he can swim very fast.

Although Mo Hua is not a fisherman, the water-passing step is a water-based body technique. He also practiced the white wave body technique. He is like a nimble fish in the water, and his speed is not slow.

Gu An and Gu Shen's skills are a bit inferior, but they have deep cultivation, so they can keep up.

However, the two of them still deliberately slowed down and protected Mo Hua.

The second-level peak fish demon swallowed two dead grouper fish and was only paralyzed for about fifteen breaths. His black and yellow ferocious pupils began to blink.

Mo Hua sensed the danger and immediately said: "Hurry up!" Then he pushed his body skills to the extreme, using his hands and feet together, and started paddling desperately.

The shore is within sight.

The three of them, Gu An, also began to try their best to get closer to the shore.

At this time, the fish demon has completely woken up from the paralysis state, its bulging eyes are turning, and the tip of its ugly nose can smell the breath of a living person.

It abandoned the other dead grouper and slowly sank into the water.

The figure of the fish demon sank to the bottom of the water, but at the same time, an undercurrent of ripples appeared on the water, rippling towards Mo Hua and the others at an extremely fast speed.

Mo Hua and others were shocked and swam desperately.

In the end, Yu Dahe, who was proficient in water properties, was the first to come ashore. After landing, he immediately turned around and reached out to pull up the ink painting from the bottom of the river.

Gu An and Gu Quan also arrived at the shore.

But before they could land, there was a "rumbling" sound from the water, and an ugly water demon's head floated up, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed Gu An and Gu Quan.

The two of them swam in the water, unable to dodge.

Mo Hua had quick eyes and quick hands. He clicked his fingers together and immediately condensed several fireballs, which hit the water demon's protruding eyes and hindered the water demon for a moment.

Gu An and Gu Quan got this moment, drew their swords at the same time, activated their sword energy, and struck the water demon on the lower jaw.

】

However, the water demon has rough skin and thick flesh, so these two cuts did not go deep and only managed to break some of the skin.

Yu Dahe immediately took out a harpoon quenched with poisonous algae juice from his storage bag, threw it out, and pierced the water demon's mouthpiece.

This is a method that fish cultivators usually use to deal with aquatic monsters when fishing.

The harpoon pierced the mouth of the water demon, and poisonous algae seeped into its throat. The water demon was in severe pain, rolled over and sank into the water again.

Taking advantage of this gap, Gu An and Gu Quan went ashore together.

After that, several people evacuated immediately.

But within a moment, the water demon emerged again.

The entire harpoon was swallowed into its belly with hatred, and the water demon was extremely angry, but the breath of several living people in the water was gone, so it could only roar wildly at the shore.

The roar was low, but the fishy wind was fierce.

The ink painting was carried by the fishy wind, staggered a few times, and fell to the ground with a "plop", looking a little embarrassed.

Gu An immediately helped Mo Hua up and said, "Young master, are you okay?"

"fine."

Mo Hua rubbed his forehead, turned around, glanced at the water demon angrily, and said silently in his heart:

"Ugly monster, wait until I come back and see how I deal with you."

The water demon's ugly and ferocious eyes were still staring at Mo Hua, completely unaware that he had been put on the "blacklist" by Mo Hua.

Once on the shore and out of the water, the water demon is powerless.

Everyone was temporarily safe and began to move forward.

I don’t know how long I walked before I found a cave entrance in front of me, with a slight light at the entrance.

After passing the entrance of the cave, it suddenly opened up. It was no longer the narrow bottom of the well, but a gray world.

There was a slight drizzle in the sky, and there was a dirt road paved with stones under my feet.

A faint, yellowish mist floats in the air.

In the eyes of Gu An and others, the color of the fog is slightly yellow.

But in the eyes of Mo Hua, the color of these fogs is deeper blood red.

Not far away, there was a vague outline of a fishing village, which merged with the blood mist, revealing a dead silence and weirdness.

Gu An cursed inwardly: "I don't know how these human traffickers like Guo Jianglong found such a gloomy place to hide."

Yu Dahe also nodded, looking confused:

"I have never heard of such a place nearby... Is this a fishing village? How come there is no one?"

"Let's go and take a look first." Mo Hua sighed.

He knew in his heart that there were more than just human traffickers in this fishing village.

Everyone walked along the muddy road under their feet towards the fishing village in the distance.

But after walking a few steps, Mo Hua grabbed Gu An and suddenly said:

"Stop!"

Gu An was startled, looked around, and looked at Mo Hua in confusion, not knowing what happened.

There was obviously nothing around.

Mo Hua's pupils trembled slightly.

He found that there was a blood mist in front of Gu An, and in the blood mist, there was a creeping, leech-like evil creature.

This leech was red, dirty and bloody, floating in the air with the blood mist.

It swam right in front of Gu An.

Gu An couldn't see it at all.

If he had taken another step forward just now, he would have touched these leeches directly.

Mo Hua didn't know what would happen after touching the leeches.

But based on his experience, he guessed that these leeches were most likely evil spirits differentiated from evil gods. Once they encountered a living person with divine consciousness, they would probably drill into his sea of ​​consciousness and contaminate and parasitize.

"It's dangerous." Mo Hua said in a deep voice.

Gu An and the others looked at the thick fog around them, and they were all startled.

"Follow me, don't move around!"

Mo Hua warned solemnly.

Since he had brought the three people into the bottom of the well, he must do his best to protect their safety.

Yu Dahe was a miserable fisherman, and his life was not easy.

Gu An and Gu Quan were acquaintances sent by Uncle Gu to protect him, so he couldn't let anything happen to them.

Gu An and the other two nodded.

Mo Hua started to walk in front, leading the three people, avoiding the leeches and moving forward carefully.

After walking for a while, the blood mist in front of them was thick, and the leeches were much denser.

Mo Hua could avoid it, but even if Gu An and the other two followed him, they would probably be parasitized by the leeches that swam behind.

Mo Hua was a little troubled, and then he was suddenly startled.

He thought of another question.

He could see the leeches, so he could recognize the way.

That river dragon, he couldn't see the leeches, so how could he avoid the leeches and find the way into the village?

There must be something strange here.

Mo Hua released his spiritual sense and peeked around for a while. Suddenly, his eyes lit up, and he squatted on the ground and picked up the soil and stones at his feet.

Gu An and the others looked puzzled, but they knew the limit and didn't disturb Mo Hua.

After a while, Mo Hua finally pulled out a piece of something from the ground under his feet.

This is a formation stone slab!

On the stone slab, there are obscure and profound formation patterns.

Although Mo Hua has never seen these formation patterns, he looks very familiar. The formation style is exactly the same as the formation patterns that Guo Jianglong drew at the wellhead.

"Shinto formation!"

Mo Hua was delighted.

He hurriedly wrote down all these formation patterns one by one.

However, the Shinto formation on the stone slab is incomplete. Only a few formation patterns cannot constitute a complete formation structure, and the indication of the formation pattern cannot be understood.

Mo Hua walked forward a few steps and squatted on the ground to dig.

After a while, he really pulled out another stone slab.

The stone slab is still an incomplete Shinto formation, with new and old formation patterns.

Mo Hua compared them with each other, wrote down the new array patterns, and then continued to flip forward. After flipping through several stone tablets, he wrote down a total of five new Shinto array patterns.

Then Mo Hua took out a piece of paper and simulated, combined, and pieced together the five array patterns on the paper.

After dozens of attempts, Mo Hua finally successfully pieced together the five array patterns, forming a simple, but closed, Shinto array prototype that can be formed by the circulation of divine power!

This prototype is still very superficial, similar to the five-element arrays that were only composed of a few array patterns when Mo Hua first started learning arrays.

But it is indeed a complete, entry-level Shinto array.

Mo Hua compared this array with the array pattern that Guo Jianglong drew at the wellhead and found some tricks.

Strictly speaking, the array pattern drawn by Guo Jianglong is not a Shinto array.

His array patterns were a tricky way to temporarily cut off the flow of the Shinto array power through the array pattern barrier, so as to achieve the effect of temporarily "unsealing" and opening the seal at the bottom of the well.

In other words, the "unsealing" array pattern drawn by Guo Jianglong was based on a complete set of Shinto arrays.

This complete set of Shinto arrays was drawn in the blood-colored dry well.

Or...

Mo Hua looked far away, looking at the fishing village shrouded in the gloomy blood mist in the distance.

This entire fishing village that was polluted by the evil god and disappeared was built on this set of "Shinto arrays".

Whether it was the wellhead array pattern or the stone slab array, they were only a small part of the extension of this set of Shinto arrays.

Mo Hua was shocked, but at the same time, he also had more doubts.

Where did this set of Shinto arrays come from?

Who built this set of arrays in this fishing village?

What is the purpose?

What is the specific application of the Shinto array?

Mo Hua frowned.

"It seems that we have to go deep into the fishing village to take a look. The core of the Shinto formation is probably hidden inside..."

There should be some Shinto formation stone slabs buried under his feet, but time is limited, and Mo Hua doesn't have time to lift them up one by one.

After solving the evil god, he will come back and turn over all the land.

Mo Hua nodded.

At this time, Mo Hua also figured out the role of the formation on the stone slab.

These formations are used to isolate the blood mist, especially to drive away the evil spirits like "blood leeches" in the blood mist.

These formations are connected in sequence, and a safe road is opened from the blood mist.

Guo Jianglong must have passed this road, so that he would not be polluted by the evil god and parasitized by blood leeches, and thus successfully enter the fishing village.

Mo Hua initially saw through the Shinto formation.

Now this winding "Shinto" path is clearly presented in his eyes.

It is always safer to have a road.

Mo Hua could see the leeches, so it didn't matter whether there was a road or not, but it was different for Gu An and the other two.

They couldn't see the danger, so even if they followed him, every step was dangerous.

"Follow me, follow my footsteps, don't go wrong, and don't look around." Mo Hua said.

Gu An and the other two knew the pros and cons, and nodded.

Then Mo Hua took the lead and walked in front. Gu An and the other two also remembered Mo Hua's instructions, followed closely, and didn't dare to make a mistake.

In this way, step by step, after walking for an unknown period of time, the four people finally passed through the leech parasitic area and stepped onto the land of the disappeared fishing village.

This is a land stained with blood.
