Chapter 1187: Forgotten River
The officers under An Tianzuo tried several more times, and the result was the same every time. No matter what the attribute, breed or level of the companion pet was, as long as it approached the smoke of the Wangchuan River, it would immediately fall into the river and disappear without a trace, without even a ripple.
It was useless for those companion pets to launch attacks into the Forgetful River. All the attacks disappeared without a trace once they entered the Forgetful River. No one knew how deep the Forgetful River was.
It is impossible to even enter the Forgotten River, let alone find the Three Lives Stone in the river.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan also summoned some low-level companion pets and asked them to try to approach the Wangchuan River. The result was the same as An Tianzuo's, no companion pets could survive in the Wangchuan River.
Zhou Wen listened attentively, used the Great Brahma to strengthen his senses, and looked into the Wangchuan River, but still found nothing.
"General, let me give it a try." An officer stepped forward and saluted An Tianzuo.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan took a look at the officer and saw that he was wearing a military uniform, a military coat, a gas mask on his face, and a military cap on his head.
Zhou Wen and Li Xuan both had some impression of this officer, but because his dress was so strange, they still didn't know what he looked like or what his name was.
"Are you sure?" An Tianzuo asked the officer.
"I've seen some clues. We can give it a try," the officer replied.
"Go ahead." An Tianzuo nodded slightly.
The officer saluted slightly, and then walked towards the Forgetful River. However, to Zhou Wen's surprise, he did not summon his companion pet, but actually walked towards the Forgetful River by himself.
He walked very slowly, even cautiously, but he actually stepped into the Forgetful River. This move was extremely crazy.
When using companion pets to explore the way before, a mythical companion pet was directly sucked into the Forgetful River without any ability to resist. For this officer to walk in on his own was almost tantamount to suicide.
As soon as the man took a step forward, the military uniform on his body seemed to be pulled by some powerful invisible force and was torn directly from the officer's body. Together with the military boots, military cap and mask, it fell into the Forgetful River.
The officer's body was suspended above the Forgotten River, but he did not fall into it.
However, Zhou Wen and Li Xuan were shocked when they saw the officer's appearance clearly.
The officer's body no longer looked human at all. There was no flesh and blood on his body. All that could be seen was a ball of gray smoke in the shape of a human. When he walked, the smoke swayed, looking extremely weird.
Zhou Wen knew that this officer was not a monster. He just used a mythical liquid created by a special dimensional creature. His own mutation degree was quite high, so he became like this.
The officer, who looked like a humanoid smoke, had already stepped into the Forgetful River with both feet, but he was not sucked into the river, which made everyone breathe a sigh of relief.
"What kind of dimensional biological mythical liquid is this person using? It's really interesting." Li Xuan looked at the officer in surprise and said.
An Sheng explained, "That's Jia Nong, the leader of the 413th Regiment. The mythical fluid he uses is made from a strange mythical creature that escaped from Chess Mountain. His body has undergone severe changes, but he has also gained a very special mythical power. Now it seems that his power can restrain the power of the Forgotten River."
"General, I'll go down and take a look." Seeing that it was just as he guessed, the strange power of the Forgetful River was of no use to him, Jia Nong asked An Tianzuo for instructions.
"Safety first." An Tianzuo said.
"Yes." Janon responded and was about to fly down to the Forgotten River.
But suddenly, he saw yellow smoke billowing in the distance of the Forgotten River, as if something was moving underneath, and the billowing mist was approaching Janon at a very fast speed.
Jianon took a fighting stance, but An Tianzuo suddenly shouted, "Jianon, come back."
After hearing An Tianzuo's order, Jianon retreated reflexively and left the Forgotten River.
The next moment he retreated, yellow smoke exploded where he had been standing, and a bloody hand stretched out.
Each finger of the blood-colored palm was more than one meter long. The huge palm seemed to be condensed from blood and energy. When it grabbed, the air made a terrifying explosion sound.
After grabbing nothing, the bloody palm quickly retreated back to the bottom of the Forgetful River and disappeared in the blink of an eye.
Janon was still in shock. Although his current body was not afraid of ordinary physical attacks, the bloody palm just brushed against him and melted the gray mist on his body. If he was really caught, he would have disappeared into thin air.
"What is that?" Li Xuan wrinkled his nose. He smelled a strong smell of blood.
No one could answer him, because no one knew the answer at all. The white-haired old woman guarding the bridge might know the answer, but she didn't speak.
Finding the Three Lives Stone is more difficult than they imagined. Currently, only Janon can go down to the river, but Janon cannot resist the bloody hand.
Lu Bushun said with a strange look on his face, "Legend has it that the Wangchuan River is the dividing line between life and death. Within the river dwell countless vengeful spirits, lingering between life and death. Because they couldn't cross the Naihe Bridge, those spirits can't reincarnate and can only wander the Wangchuan River for eternity. If a living person approaches the river, they will pull them into the river in their place, thus escaping the constraints of the river and gaining a chance at reincarnation. Was that bloody hand just now one of those vengeful spirits in the legend?"
"What you are talking about is called a scapegoat in mythology. By finding a substitute to replace yourself, you can get a chance to be reborn." An Sheng said.
"Yes, it's the scapegoat. Could the bloody hand be that thing?" Lu Bushun nodded.
"I don't know, but it seems that if we want to find the Three Lives Stone, we can only find a way to get rid of it." An Sheng said, staring at the river.
"Captain Jia, you are the only one who can go down to the river now. I can only let you make one more trip to lure it out." An Tianzuo said to Jia Nong.
"Yes." Janon did not hesitate and entered the Forgotten River again.
He was very careful this time, but he did not sense the appearance of the bloody hand in advance. It was Ansheng who reminded him first, so he was able to escape back in time.
When the blood-colored hand appeared, Lu Bushun and other officers immediately attacked the blood-colored hand. Streams of energy with different attributes bombarded the blood-colored hand from mid-air, blasting it into pieces.
But in a flash, the scattered blood energy condensed again, turned into a bloody giant hand, and escaped back into the Forgetful River.
