Seeing this, Ding Dian jumped directly from the bow of the ship and shot out true energy from his hands.
Bang!
The true energy collided with the dense black spots, causing screams.
Wan Zhuliu had amazing eyesight and could see clearly that it was a group of bats. However, compared to ordinary bats, they were smaller in size, faster, and had sharper teeth!
But soon, the flapping sound was heard again in the sky.
Large swarms of bats, like black clouds, swooped over at a rapid speed.
Ding Dian's face darkened slightly, and he protected the nun behind him. "Sir, the more we fight these things, the more they will appear. Even if we can kill them, their true energy will eventually run out. We shouldn't stay here for long!"
"Do I need to tell you?"
Wan Zhuliu glanced at him coldly, then pushed out with a palm.
Phew!
The palm wind swept out past Ding Dian's ear, and the scorching air wave instantly enveloped the group of bats in front, and a burnt smell wafted over.
Then, he stepped down suddenly, and the surrounding lake water suddenly stirred up, turning into mist and spreading towards the distance.
"Go back first!"
"My Lord, these things cannot be thrown away—"
Before Ding Dian finished speaking, Wan Zhuliu raised his hand and slapped the water. The wooden boat was instantly pushed to the outside by the huge reverse thrust and headed towards the shore.
"If you can't get rid of them, you can use some nuns to make a nest and throw it over to the bats. They will definitely like it!"
The corners of Ding Dian's mouth twitched slightly.
Nun Huiyuan's face turned pale. "Sir, please don't make fun of me. These are not ordinary bats, but ghost bats. They are full of yin energy. Even a warrior will die if they are injured by them!"
"You know all this, so why did you still dare to come with us? You must have a way to deal with it, right?"
Wan Zhuliu smiled faintly and asked back.
"Are you doubting me, my Lord?"
"It's so obvious, why ask?"
"Sir, Master Huiyuan she--" Ding Dian wanted to interrupt again to show his true nature, but was interrupted by Wan Zhuliu in a harsh voice.
"Ding Dian, you have no right to interrupt here. Also, don't forget what Lord Wang told you to do?"
Ding Dian's neck suddenly turned red and his face became a little gloomy.
The wooden boat was still speeding towards the shore.
Whenever his speed slowed down, Wan Zhuliu would slap the water surface with his palm to use the thrust to maintain his speed.
During this process, none of the three were silent.
Soon, the wooden boat arrived at the shore at a high speed.
Wan Zhuliu jumped down and landed on the soft grass on the shore.
Ding Dian and Hui Yuan also got off the boat and followed him.
Only when they approached the village did Hui Yuan slowly stop and say, "I didn't lie to you. According to records, the tomb under Xuanyan Lake is right below the whirlpool in the center of the lake. And that whirlpool doesn't appear all the time. It's like we missed our chance to enter the underground palace. It's hard to say whether we'll encounter it again next time!"
"Then why didn't you jump down just now?"
"Because I wasn't too sure until I encountered the ghost bat. The ghost bat is the product of the gathering of Yin energy in the underground palace. Only when the passage to the underground palace is opened can the ghost bat come out!"
"Then your information didn't tell us what the rules of this vortex are? We're here to rescue people, so we should be more cautious. I think you should understand!"
Wan Zhuliu's tone softened a lot.
Hui Yuan shook her head. "I don't mean to blame you, my Lord. It would be better to make some preparations, but the entrance to the underground palace is always a matter of chance. As for the specific time limit, perhaps it will be shortly after the first rays of the sun set each day, when the yang energy is at its peak. The underground palace will open the passage and discharge the yin energy into Xuanyan Lake!"
"Oh, in that case, let's get ready today and explore again tomorrow morning!"
"That's all we can do!"
Nun Huiyuan was wearing Ding Dian's robe and had a slightly serious expression.
After returning to the yard, everyone began to prepare for exploring the whirlpool in the lake tomorrow.
Ding Dian summoned the best criminals in the prison and ordered them to find a boat nearby and take those who were good at swimming with them tomorrow.
Wan Zhuliu avoided Ding Dian and used a special contact method to call upon the people of the Yu tribe who were in the dark.
But after calling many times, there was no response.
He simply walked out of the yard and headed towards the nearby hillside, where the terrain was higher and the view was clearer.
As a result, as soon as he walked out of the yard and passed by a small courtyard with a slightly ajar wooden door, he heard whispers coming from inside.
He landed silently at the door, peering through the crack to see the scene inside.
Ding Dian's expression was somewhat grim. "Why don't we kill him first?"
"Don't worry, don't forget our purpose this time!" Master Huiyuan shook her head. "Keep your voice down, he's in the next yard!"
Suddenly, there was a rustling sound, and no one knew what they were saying. It seemed that the two people were deliberately speaking in low voices.
But Wan Zhuliu's eyesight and hearing were not focused, but returned to the void. Even though they were so far away, he should be able to hear their whispers, but why could he hear nothing?
"Are they pretending to talk?"
hiss!
Suddenly, there was a sudden long neigh from a horse.
"who?!"
Wan Zhuliu's figure flashed and disappeared in an instant.
When he turned around to look behind him, he was surprised to find that there was no one behind him and no trace of horses. The sunlight penetrated the weeds, casting a golden glow, and there was only an inexplicable atmosphere of silence surrounding him.
But when he came to his senses and tried to sense Ding Dian and Hui Yuan in the yard again, they were already gone.
Wan Zhuliu felt a little creepy. This place reminded him of some memories from his past life. Some of the horror and suspense scenes he had seen seemed to coincide with the present.
"What are you afraid of? Even if there really is a ghost, I can get rid of it!"
The true Qi in his body circulated, and the burning Qi and blood circulated throughout his body, completely dispelling the cold. He felt more confident and no longer felt the chill on his back.
He walked towards the top of the hill and passed a bush on the side of the road.
"Uh, my Lord?"
With a cry of surprise, he saw Ding Dian running out of the bushes with his pants held up.
"Ding Dian?" Wan Zhuliu was shocked. Ding Dian was here, so who was the person he had just eavesdropped on outside the yard?
"What are you doing here?"
"Uh!" Ding Dian was a little embarrassed. "I'm going to pee here. Do you want to join me?"
"...pee?" Wan Zhuliu looked at the other person with a strange look in his eyes. He realized that he was lying. There was sweat on his forehead, which clearly meant he was going to poop...
"When did you come here?"
"It's been a while!" Ding Dian replied immediately.
"Is that so?"
Wan Zhuliu was a little confused. Could it be that he was hallucinating?
"Let's go to the hillside and take a look!"
"Oh, okay..." Ding Dian nodded, hesitated for a moment, and then said, "Sir, I just have something else to tell you!"
"What is it?"
"Lord Wang told me before he left that some sacrifices are acceptable in order to obtain the fragments of the divine weapon."
"Hmm?" Wan Zhuliu turned his head slightly. "What do you mean?"
