The fire of the soul was very magical. It not only isolated the water flow, but even when they sank into the pool, Wu Tian and the other two could not feel the slightest bit of coldness.
The water in the pool is very clear and you can clearly see the scenery on all sides.
There was nothing in the water except silence.
"Don't be distracted. Pay close attention to your surroundings. If you hear any movement, sound the alarm immediately. If we make the slightest mistake, we will all die here."
Wutan looked at Cang Zheng worriedly and warned him. He knew this person's character. If he didn't let her realize the seriousness of the situation, she would definitely feel resentful about what happened before and do something that would cause trouble.
Cang Zheng frowned and said angrily: "If I tell you, lead the way quickly!"
"Women are really scary creatures." Wutan shook his head and sighed, his body suddenly sank, and he quickly sank to the bottom of the pool with the two of them.
The pool was deeper than I had imagined, and I sank for about fifty or sixty breaths before reaching the bottom.
Gradually, the three of them discovered a very strange phenomenon. In addition to the mysterious power becoming stronger and stronger, the deeper they went into the pool, the clearer their vision became, giving people the feeling that they were under the sun without water.
After another fifty or sixty breaths, Sikong Yanran suddenly called out, "Look, what is that?"
The tone was urgent and panicked, as if he had seen something incredible.
Wutan and the other man looked in the direction they were looking and saw that the stone wall in front of them was covered with creatures as thick as fingers, twisting and swaying.
"What the hell is this thing? Why does it look so weird?" Cang Zheng said in surprise.
These creatures were as black as ink, like small snakes, with bodies up to one foot long and as thick as an adult's finger, but heads as big as an adult's fist. They were extremely strange, and their heads were covered with scales as big as fingernails, flashing with faint light!
Sikong Yanran swallowed and said in shock: "The temperature under the cold pond is unbearable even for us. It's incredible that they can survive!"
The mysterious creatures seemed to have sensed the invasion of strange creatures. They raised their fist-sized heads, and as their scales opened and closed, two scarlet eyes appeared. They all looked at Wutan and the other two.
"Their eyes are so scary!"
Sikong Yanran and the other person shuddered. The eyes of these mysterious creatures were full of blood and cruelty, even more terrifying than those of the desperate criminals. And the two of them also saw a kind of indifference in them, as if they were emotionless creatures.
Just a glance was enough to terrify the two of them. Wutan could clearly feel that the two women's hands were trembling slightly, which was a manifestation of extreme fear.
"No!" Wutan immediately realized that something was wrong. The two women's cultivation was at the divine transformation stage, and it was impossible for them to be so scared just because of a look.
“Wake up!” Wutan’s eyes flashed, and he shouted in the ears of the two men. The two men trembled violently, and then looked at Wutan with deep confusion in their eyes.
"It seems that I was right. The gazes of these mysterious creatures possess a mysterious power that can captivate people and make them fall into illusions involuntarily." Wutan said in a deep voice.
Sikong Yanran suddenly realized what was going on and said in a lingering fear, "No wonder I felt like I was in an endless sea of blood. There were no living creatures around me. I wanted to shout for help but couldn't make a sound. If you hadn't suddenly woken me up, I would have most likely been buried in the illusion."
Looking at these mysterious creatures again, her gaze became different, full of fear.
Cang Zheng nodded and said, "You are in exactly the same illusion as me. The boundless sea of blood gives me an unprecedented breath of death. It is hard to imagine that these creatures have such horrific means of attack!"
"By the way, how come you are okay?" Cang Zheng looked at Wutan and asked puzzledly.
After pondering for a while, Wu Tian still couldn't figure it out. Finally, he looked at the soul fire above his head and guessed: "It may be because I am the master of the soul fire. It is also possible that my willpower is not ordinary, so I will not be confused by external things."
"So what you mean is that our willpower is not as strong as yours?" Cang Zheng was displeased.
"Ahem!" Wu Tian coughed and said, "None of this is important. What's important is that these creatures can survive in the pool, proving that they can resist this mysterious force. Perhaps eating their flesh and blood will bring us unexpected benefits."
After saying this, Wu Tian's elemental power gushed out and he flew to the opposite side.
"You're crazy. You want to eat such disgusting things? Come back here." Upon hearing this, Cang Zheng's face suddenly changed. He grabbed Wutan with both hands and pulled him back with all his might.
"Indeed, not to mention that this creature is disgusting, just looking at its horrific methods, I dare not eat it." Sikong Yanran agreed and also helped, pulling Wutan's other hand to stop him from moving forward.
As the saying goes, once bitten by a snake, one will be afraid of ropes for ten years. The two were almost ambushed by the mysterious creatures before, and now Wutan actually said he wanted to eat them. The two really couldn't do it.
However, the strength of the two men was not at the same level as Wutan, and he dragged the two men to the front of the stone wall easily.
However, when these creatures saw the strange creatures coming, they were not afraid at all. Not only did they not run away, but they also stared at the three people with murderous eyes.
"If you don't dare to look, just close your eyes and don't disturb me from doing my work." Wutan said with a dark face. He really didn't know how the two of them had survived all these years. They were even afraid of these little bugs.
Buzz!
As soon as he finished speaking, the heaven-defying domain expanded rapidly, and a mysterious creature was immediately enveloped within it. Wutan moved as fast as lightning and grabbed the creature in his hand. However, to his surprise, this creature was very slippery and slipped away as soon as he caught it, like a loach.
Moreover, Wutan also discovered that this thing's head was extremely strong, and even with all his strength, he was unable to shatter it with one blow!
Fortunately, apart from being able to make people fall into an illusion and being extremely hard, this thing does not have any strong attack power.
Even so, under the confinement of the heaven-defying domain, Wutan finally knocked it out with great effort. Then he grabbed it in his hand and observed it carefully. As a result, he saw two claws under the belly of the mysterious creature. They were very small and could not be seen at all if you didn't look closely.
"What a strange creature."
Wutan muttered something and started to process it. He cut open the belly and then washed it in cold ice water. The short stay made Wutan's arms numb. One can imagine how horrible the temperature in this cold pool is.
Without caring whether it was clean or not, Wutan quickly withdrew his arm, and suddenly he felt a warm feeling. Then he threw it into his mouth without hesitation, chewed it a few times, and swallowed it into his stomach with a gurgling sound.
"Yeah, it tastes pretty good."
When Cang Zheng and the other girls saw this, their stomachs suddenly churned and they almost couldn't control themselves and vomited.
Especially when they heard Wu Tian's praise, the two women couldn't help but feel cold in their hearts. What kind of monster is this person? He ate such disgusting things and seemed to enjoy it.
Wu Tian really enjoyed it. The meat of this creature was sweet, not greasy and refreshing beyond imagination. He also felt an indescribable energy that instantly spread throughout his body, nourishing every cell.
"It really works. In just a moment, the vitality is restored to 1%?!"
This unexpected gain surprised Wutan greatly. Just as he was about to tell the two of them the result.
At this moment, Cang Zheng seemed to have seen a ghost, and suddenly exclaimed: "Look what that is?"
Upon hearing this, Wutan's expression suddenly changed, as if something was stuck in his throat, looking 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 extremely surprised and suspicious. Then, she and Cang Zheng looked at Wutan in tacit understanding, with extremely strange expressions on their faces!
That's right! It's a corpse!
Those mysterious creatures had fled away at some point, presenting a scene that made Wu Tian sick.
I saw dozens of corpses embedded in the stone wall. The scene was very similar to the corpse field under the Devil's Mountain, but there was one difference. In this cold pool, the flesh of these corpses had not yet decayed.
However, on these corpses, a lot of flesh and blood had disappeared, leaving them unrecognizable, and even their internal organs were clearly visible. It was obvious that they had been eaten by mysterious creatures.
"vomit!"
Under the gloating gazes of Cang Zheng and the other man, Wutan covered his mouth and retched continuously, trying his best to restrain himself and not make a fool of himself in public.
However, when he saw a mysterious creature crawling out of the stomach of a corpse, Wutan could no longer bear it. His stomach began to churn wildly. He hurriedly stuck his head out of the light shield of the fire of his soul and began to vomit without caring about his image.
The two girls on the side couldn't help but burst into laughter when they saw this.
Afterwards, Wutan did not dare to stay for a moment, and hurriedly moved away from this place and sank into the cold pond.
As for the benefits brought by the mysterious creature, he did not mention a word, because he knew that even if he did, the two women would rather die than eat it, not to mention that he had no appetite at all.
Along the way, the three people became more and more surprised, because they found that the deeper they sank, the more of these mysterious creatures there were. They almost covered the stone walls on all four sides, and through the mysterious creatures, they could vaguely see bloody corpses.
However, these mysterious creatures showed no signs of actively attacking, which saved the three of them a lot of trouble.
"These people must have accidentally fallen into the cold pond and were frozen to death, and finally became food for these mysterious creatures." Cang Zheng guessed, feeling terrified. If they hadn't been rescued by Wutan before, they would probably have become one of these corpses now!
"Mr. Li Feng, I am grateful for your kindness. If you need any help in the future, just let me know." Sikong Yanran thanked him again, with an even more serious attitude than before.
She also realized that if it weren't for Li Feng's heaven-defying domain and the fire of the soul, she would definitely be buried in Devil's Mountain without any suspense.
At the same time, she became more and more curious about this man. From the time they met until now, every time he did something unexpected, he gave people the feeling that he was becoming more and more unfathomable. However, since he didn't say it directly, she was embarrassed to ask.
Wutan did not answer, his expression was extremely solemn, because he felt that the mysterious power was getting stronger and stronger, and it seemed that it was approaching the source.
Finally, after sinking for more than ten breaths, Wutan and the other two finally reached the bottom of the pool. They looked around, and their eyes were all fixed on a black corpse in the center of the cold pool!
