The Fire of Soul was very mysterious. Not only did it isolate the water, but Wutian and the other two didn't feel the slightest bit of coldness even as they sank into the pool.
The pool was very clear and they could clearly see the surrounding scenery.
There was nothing in the water. Besides silence, there was only silence.
"Don't be distracted. Pay attention to the surroundings. If there is any movement, immediately sound the alarm. If there is even the slightest mistake, we will all be buried here."
Wutian worriedly warned Cang Zheng. He knew this person's personality. If he didn't make her realize the severity of the situation, she would definitely take the previous matter to heart and do something that would cause trouble.
Cang Zheng scowled and angrily said, "I don't need you to tell me that. Hurry up and lead the way!"
"Women are truly terrifying creatures." Wutian shook his head and sighed. His body suddenly sank and he quickly brought the two of them to the bottom of the pool.
The pool was deeper than they had imagined. After sinking for about 50 to 60 breaths of time, they still hadn't reached the bottom.
Gradually, the three of them discovered a very strange phenomenon. Besides the increasing strength of the mysterious force, the deeper they went into the pool, the clearer their vision became. It gave them the feeling that they were standing under sunlight without any water.
After another 50 to 60 breaths of time, Sikong Yanran suddenly shouted, "Look, what is that?"
Her tone was urgent and panicked, as if she had seen something inconceivable.
Wutian and Cang Zheng looked over and saw that the stone wall in front of them was covered with creatures that were as thick as a finger. They were wriggling about.
"What the hell is this? Why does it look so strange?" Cang Zheng said in shock.
These creatures were as black as ink and looked like small snakes. Their bodies were a foot long and as thick as an adult's finger. Their heads were as big as an adult's fist. It was extremely strange. Moreover, their heads were covered with scales the size of fingernails that flickered with a faint light!
Sikong Yanran gulped and said in shock, "The temperature of the cold pool is something that even we can't withstand. For them to be able to survive, it's truly inconceivable!"
The mysterious creatures seemed to have sensed the invasion of the strange creatures. They all lifted their fist-sized heads. Between the opening and closing of their scales, two scarlet eyes were exposed, looking at the three people of Wutian's group.
"Their gazes are terrifying!"
Sikong Yanran and Ye Xiwen shuddered. The eyes of these mysterious creatures were filled with blood and cruelty. They were even more terrifying than the eyes of those fugitives. Moreover, the two of them could see a kind of indifference, as if they were creatures without emotions.
Just the look in his eyes was enough to shock the two women. Wutian could clearly feel that the two women's hands were trembling slightly. This was a sign that they were extremely frightened.
"Something's wrong!" Wutian immediately realized that something was wrong. These two women's cultivations were at the Divine Transformation realm, so it was impossible for them to be so scared just because of a single glance.
"Wake up!" Wutian's eyes flickered as he shouted into their ears. Their bodies trembled violently, and they looked at Wutian with great confusion in their eyes.
"It looks like my guess wasn't wrong. The gazes of these mysterious creatures possess a mysterious strength that can affect one's mind and make them involuntarily fall into an illusion." Wutian grimly said.
Sikong Yanran was enlightened as she heard this. She said with a lingering fear, "No wonder I felt like I was in an endless sea of blood. There were no living creatures around me and I wanted to cry out for help, but I couldn't. If you hadn't woken me up then I would have been buried in that illusion."
As she looked at these mysterious creatures again, her eyes were different. They were filled with fear.
Cang Zheng nodded. "You and I were in the same illusion. The endless sea of blood gave me an unprecedented aura of death. It's hard to imagine that these creatures would have such a terrifying attack method!"
"That's right, how come you're fine?" Cang Zheng looked at Wutian, puzzled.
After pondering for a while, Wutian also couldn't figure it out. Finally, he looked at the Flame of the Soul above his head and guessed, "Maybe it's because I'm the owner of the Flame of the Soul. It's also possible that my willpower is abnormally strong, so I'm not confused by external things."
"So you're saying that our willpower isn't as strong as yours?" Cang Zheng was displeased.
"Cough cough!" Wutian coughed and said, "That's not important. What's important is that these creatures can survive in the pool, which proves that they can resist this mysterious power. Maybe eating their flesh will bring us unexpected benefits."
After saying this, Wutian's elemental power gushed out and he flew towards the opposite side.
"You're crazy. You want to eat such disgusting things? Come back here." Cang Zheng's expression changed when he heard this. He grabbed Wutian with both hands and desperately pulled him back.
"Indeed. Let's not talk about how disgusting these creatures are. Just based on their terrifying means, I don't dare to eat them." Sikong Yanran agreed and also helped. She pulled Wutian's other hand and stopped him from moving forward.
As the saying goes, once bitten, twice shy. The two of them were almost ambushed by the mysterious creatures. Now that Wutian said that he wanted to eat them, the two of them really couldn't do it.
However, their strength was not on the same level as Wutian's. He easily dragged the two of them to the front of the stone wall.
However, these creatures were not afraid at all when they saw the arrival of unfamiliar creatures. Not only did they not escape, but they also stared at the three of them.
"If you don't dare to look, then close your eyes. Don't interfere with my work." Wutian said with a black face. He really didn't know how the two of them had survived all these years. They were even afraid of these little insects.
Buzz!
Buzz! As soon as he finished speaking, the Heaven-defying Domain quickly expanded. One of the mysterious creatures was immediately shrouded in it. Wutian moved like lightning and grabbed the creature in his hand. However, to his surprise, the creature's body was very slippery. As soon as he grabbed it, it slipped away like a loach.
Moreover, Wutian also found that the creature's head was very sturdy. Even with his full strength, he couldn't shatter it in one blow!
Fortunately, other than being able to make people fall into an illusion and being very sturdy, this creature didn't have any powerful attack power.
Even so, under the confinement of the Heaven-defying Domain, Wutian spent a lot of effort to finally knock it out. He then held it in his hand and carefully observed it. As a result, he saw two claws under the mysterious creature's abdomen. They were very small. If he didn't look at them closely, he wouldn't have noticed them.
"What a strange creature."
Wutian murmured and began to deal with it. He cut open the abdomen and then washed it in the cold ice water. After a short pause, Wutian's arm went numb. One could imagine how terrifying the temperature under the cold lake was.
Regardless of whether it was clean or not, Wutian hurriedly retracted his arm. Suddenly, a warm feeling arose. Then, without hesitation, he threw it into his mouth and chewed a few times. Accompanied by a gulp, it was swallowed into his stomach.
"Well, the taste is not bad."
When the two women saw this, their stomachs suddenly turned upside down. They almost couldn't control themselves and spat it out.
Especially when they heard Wutian's praise, the two women couldn't help but feel a chill in their hearts. What kind of monster was this person? After eating such a disgusting thing, he still looked like he was enjoying it.
Wutian really enjoyed it. The meat of this creature was sweet and not greasy. It was refreshing beyond imagination. Furthermore, he could feel an indescribable energy spreading throughout his body in an instant, nourishing every cell in his body.
"It's really effective. In just a moment, my vitality has recovered by one percent?!"
This unexpected gain surprised Wutian. Just as he was about to tell the two of them the result.
At this time, Cang Zheng suddenly exclaimed as if he had seen a ghost, "Look, what is that?"
Hearing this, Wutian's expression changed abruptly. It was as if something was stuck in his throat. It was extremely ugly!
"No way! There are so many corpses embedded in the stone wall. Could it be that these mysterious creatures feed on these corpses? " Sikong Yanran was very surprised. Then, she and Cang Zheng tacitly looked at Wutian together, their expressions extremely strange!
That's right! It was the corpses!
Those mysterious creatures had escaped at some point, presenting a scene that made Wutian feel nauseous.
There were dozens of corpses embedded in the stone wall. The scene was very similar to the place of corpses at the foot of the Devil Mountain. However, there was one difference. In this icy cold pool, the corpses had not yet decayed.
However, on these corpses, much of the flesh and blood had disappeared. They were beyond recognition, and even the internal organs were clearly visible. Obviously, they had been gnawed by the mysterious creatures.
"Retch!"
Under the gloating gaze of Cang Zheng and Sikong Yanran, Wutian covered his mouth and kept retching. He tried his best to restrain himself and not make a fool of himself in front of everyone.
However, when he saw a mysterious creature crawling out of a corpse's stomach, Wutian could no longer hold it in. His stomach churned violently, and he hurriedly stuck his head out of the light shield of the Flame of Soul. Without caring about his image, he vomited violently.
Seeing this, the two girls at the side could not help but hold their bellies and laugh.
After that, Wutian did not dare to stay any longer. He hurriedly left this place and sank into the cold pool.
As for the benefits brought by the mysterious creatures, he did not mention a word. Because he knew that even if he said it, the two girls would rather die than eat it. Moreover, he had no appetite at all.
Along the way, the three of them became more and more surprised. This was because they found that the deeper they went, the more mysterious creatures there were. They almost densely covered the stone walls on all sides. Through the mysterious creatures, they could faintly see badly mutilated corpses.
However, these mysterious creatures did not show any signs of attacking. This saved the three of them a lot of trouble.
"These people should have fallen into the cold pool by accident. As a result, they were frozen to death and became food for these mysterious creatures." Cang Zheng guessed. He was terrified. If he had not been saved by Wutian, he would have become one of these corpses!
"Young Master Li Feng, I can't thank you enough. If you need any help in the future, please don't hesitate to ask." Sikong Yanran thanked him again. Her attitude was even more serious than before.
She also realized that if it were not for Li Feng's Heaven Defying Domain and Flame of Soul, she would definitely be buried in the Devil Mountain. There was no suspense.
At the same time, she became more and more curious about this person. From the time they met until now, every time he did something unexpected, he gave people the feeling that he was more and more unfathomable. However, since the other party did not say it, she was too embarrassed to ask.
Wutian did not answer. His expression was extremely solemn. This was because he felt that the mysterious power was getting stronger and stronger. It seemed that they were about to reach the source.
Finally, after sinking for more than ten breaths, Wutian and the other two finally reached the bottom of the pool. They looked around and their gazes shot towards a black skeleton in the middle of the cold pool!
