Chapter 139 The gate bug corpse was not thrown away, because there was still work to guide the way...
The insect corpses were not thrown away because they could still serve as a guide.
As soon as the sun rose, the three of them got up.
"Ah Gui, lead the way in front, use the insect corpses to lead the way forward and see what's going on." Ye Lu said to the ghost scholar.
"Yeah." The ghost scholar nodded.
The ghost scholar led the way in front. The place connected to the insect corpse was very conspicuous in his field of vision, and it was difficult for him not to look at it. As soon as Ye Lu finished speaking, he led the way in front, and the other two followed behind.
It is also not far from the mountains.
Along the way, the ghost scholar used various angles to bypass the weirdness on the road, as well as some very steep cliffs, some of which were even hovering on the treetops. The two people behind him followed him well at first, but later they were a little surprised.
"How did you lead the way?" Ye Lu asked after following the ghost scholar several times. The playful man and the ghost scholar followed well, one of them was wind-type and the other was agile, so they couldn't lose him. But he couldn't do that, because he was earth-type.
The ghost scholar said helplessly, "I can't do anything about it. This bug just moves this way. It's probably afraid that the monster will eat it, so it looks for small paths along the way. I've seen a lot of them. Some places are deliberately changed to easier paths. But this bug's original route is more difficult to follow."
Ye Lu was speechless and could only continue following the ghost scholar.
Fortunately, the place where the insect corpse was sensed was not very far away. After circling a few times, the three of them quickly arrived at the sensing place.
Walking past the lush vegetation in front of them, there were huge vines everywhere. Some smaller monsters were hiding in the dark of the woods, secretly watching the three people who broke in. Going around the bushes in front of them, what came into view was a deep pool of water that was neither too big nor too small.
The ghost scholar stopped and stared at the deep pool in front of him. He slowly breathed a sigh of relief and said, "We're here. This is it."
The place where he sensed was right below the deep pool.
"Are we going to dive again?" The playful man also stepped forward. After hearing what the ghost scholar said, he covered his mouth with his hands and said thoughtfully,
"Of course. How about we dig it ourselves? From what I sensed, that one place is dozens of miles wide." Ye Lu said helplessly. The place he sensed was very deep underground. It might not be possible for just a few of them to dig it out.
The playful man shrugged his shoulders, with no intention of refutation at all. He simply didn't like going into the water due to blood reasons, but since the Taoist said so, he might as well go into the water.
Xi ordered his men to step forward and prepare to go into the water.
The ghost scholar followed closely behind.
The man in front suddenly stopped, then raised his hand to stop the two people behind him, and whispered: "Something seems to be wrong, there is something in the water."
Hmm? The other two raised their eyebrows. What was in the pool? Could it be guarding outside the door?
The Ximing man simply didn't wait for the two to speak. He turned around and said to them very straightforwardly: "I'll go down and take a look first. I think that thing may be difficult to catch. You just need to support me up there." Of the two above, one was a Taoist practitioner and was not good at attacking, and the other was not used to water. The Ximing man knew his own usefulness very well.
The ghost scholar and Ye Lu did not force it.
After the playful man finished speaking, he turned around and jumped into the Shentan. He swam around in the lake like a nimble little fish, and soon dived into the deeper bottom of the pond.
The ghost scholar and Ye Lu were waiting silently on the shore, ready to provide support.
Ye Lu was staring at the small black shadow of the playful man becoming increasingly difficult to see in the water. Not long after he disappeared into the depths of the water, a larger black shadow moved in the next second at the bottom of the pool, suddenly jumped out, and opened its mouth to pounce on the playful man.
The playful man dodged nimbly as if he had expected it.
Then he swam nimbly to the back of the huge black shadow and hit it hard, making the huge black shadow dizzy.
The huge black shadow stayed at the bottom of the pond for a long time. After an unknown amount of time, the huge black shadow shook its head and continued to ferociously chase the playful person in front of it.
Ye Lu and the ghost scholar watched quietly. They were a little worried at first, but after one thing after another, Ye Lu also saw the weakness of the huge black shadow. This thing was not fast enough and was just completely defeated by the playful man.
Probably because he knew that two people above were waiting, the playful man did not toy with his prey, but fought quickly and decisively, quickly using his strange power, until there was another earth-shaking applause at the bottom of the pool, followed by a series of bubbles emerging from the bottom of the pool, and muddy water surged up.
Finally, a nimble figure dragged a huge black shadow ashore.
"Catch it!" The playful man emerged from the water and said to the two people on the shore, both of his hands grabbing the huge black shadow behind him.
As the playful man slowly approached, the huge black shadow behind him gradually revealed its entire face. It was an extremely huge fish with a hideous face and an extremely large mouth. Its sharp teeth were exposed in front of it. The head occupied almost two-thirds of the whole fish, but the tail only took up one-third.
It makes people frown involuntarily.
As soon as the playful man finished speaking, Ye Lu jumped into the water, grabbed the huge ugly fish by its mouth and pulled it ashore.
The playful man also climbed out of the water. When he got to the shore, he was out of breath and almost fell to the ground. But it was almost done. He sat on the ground and said unhappily: "As soon as I went down, this thing knew how to hide. I had to swim several times under it before it was hooked out."
"I guess it's the gatekeeper. As soon as I get close to the gate, it chases me like a dog."
"Is it heavy?" The playful man looked up and asked Ye Lu.
Ye Lu nodded: "Not light."
"This thing is heavier in water, and its skin is terribly thick. I don't think using water or a knife will be of any use. I tried hitting the fish with all my strength using my fists, but there was no injury. It just fainted for a while." The playful man said depressedly.
Although Ximingren's strength is not as strong as Ye Lu's, it is not small either. What's more, he is giving it his all. You can imagine how thick the skin of this fish is.
"So how did you deal with it in the end?"
"Of course I used thunder. This thing isn't completely dead yet. Brother Lu, give it another blow!" The playful man looked up at Ye Lu and explained, "I first wrapped the whole body with thunder magic, then isolated the surrounding water, and then released the moves. That's why it was defenseless and I took advantage of it!"
After hearing what the playboy said, Ye Lu nodded. It was not bad. He had taken his words to heart and knew that he should put his own safety first.
Ye Lu also gestured to the ghost scholar to give him a long knife. He didn't bring it with him, but the ghost scholar always prepared these things. The ghost scholar took out the long knife and handed it to Ye Lu with a speechless look on his face.
Ye Lu took the knife and calmly stabbed it into the fatal part of the big fish's head. After stabbing it in, he deliberately turned it a few times. After confirming that the big fish was completely dead, Ye Lu took out the knife.
"You're really thick-skinned." This was Ye Lu's first comment after doing all this.
"Then you can make leather armor for the three of us. The ghost pearl will be taken away, but the skin and flesh probably can't be eaten, so burn them into putty and leave them for the strange plants to use. We'll go to Tan later." The ghost scholar continued Ye Lu's words.
The Xi Ming people were too tired to do anything, so the rest of the work was done by the ghost scholar and Ye Lu. They peeled off the skin, took out the strange pearl, and then continued to check the internal organs to see if there was anything they could use. Finally, they burned the flesh and blood that had been picked up into putty and rolled up the skin. When they returned, they could ask the village experts to help make some things.
"This strange bead is pretty good." Ye Lu looked at the crystal clear strange bead in the ghost scholar's hand and praised it. Then he said with a hint of regret: "It must have been injured for some reason and its cultivation level has dropped a lot. If it was at its peak, this strange bead would definitely be more useful."
"If it were at the peak of its cultivation, the three of us wouldn't be able to deal with it. So it's better to keep the strange pearl like this." The ghost scholar was much calmer. He felt that it was good this way. If the big fish really had its original strength, the three of them would be just a piece of cake once they got into the water.
"What did the gate you just saw from below look like?" The ghost scholar turned around and asked the man.
The playful man also stood up from the ground. The atmosphere around him was barely better than at the beginning. Hearing the ghost scholar's question, he scratched his head and said in confusion: "What else can it look like? It looks like a very ordinary gate."
"Well... there are a lot of plant shapes, carvings of flowers and plants, and some insect-like flesh balls flying everywhere. They are quite smart. They are not clearly carved on the gate, and these flesh balls are hidden." The playful man finally complained.
"You will know when you go down." The man said, "I will lead the way in front, and you follow."
After the playful man finished speaking, he was the first to jump into the water, followed closely by Ye Lu and the ghost scholar. Not long after, all three of them jumped into the pond. The two men followed the playful man closely, and the playful man even waited for them halfway.
All three of them are strange warriors, and their physical fitness is better than that of ordinary people.
The three of them swam to the front of the gate. The playful man and the ghost scholar both turned their heads to look at Ye Lu. Ye Lu looked up at the gate. It was just as the playful man said. There were many flowers and plants carved on the gate, and there were also some insects in the dark. Most people didn't pay attention and could easily overlook them.
"This door...how do I open it?" The consciousness of the playful man slowly spread in the water, while he was still swimming slowly in the water.
"Use insect corpses." Ye Lu's words were concise and to the point.
After Ye Lu finished speaking, he turned his head and looked at Xi Ming Ren, and said with his divine sense: "Ah Gui, do you still remember the breath of that insect corpse? Use your divine power to disguise it."
Ximingren is the god of this world. Theoretically, he can do a lot of things in this world, but it is just a disguised aura that is easy for the ghost scholar to catch.
The ghost scholar suddenly realized, no wonder the Taoist priest insisted on bringing the insect corpse here.
"Okay!" At Ye Lu's signal, the ghost scholar placed one hand on the top of the insect's head in the dark, and slowly released a disguised aura. Countless rich Taoist auras spread in the water, and were then absorbed bit by bit by the insect on the gate.
After the last drop of Tao rhyme was absorbed.
The originally solid bronze gate slowly changed into something soft, clean, and translucent, like a barrier, until the ghost scholar withdrew his hand.
"These insects are very defensive. We must use the aura of the same races to defeat them. If we use the aura of humans, the gate will be completely sealed." The ghost scholar frowned and expressed his feelings.
"If they are not of my race, they should be killed!" Ye Lu said calmly: "These myriad races originally parasitized the human race, so it is understandable that they are afraid of the human race."
"Okay, let's go in."
"See what good stuff there is."
