It was useless for him to go down to the lake with the fragments. As soon as the light got closer, the piranhas would run away.
“Got it!”
Xu Xin thought of a solution and immediately put the broken pieces into his backpack.
In an instant, the surroundings became dark.
The two's night vision abilities were still intact, so even if the surroundings became dark, there would be no problem.
The fish in the lake lost the illumination of the bright white light and began to swim wildly.
Then, the bottom of the lake began to boil!
Without the protection of the bright white light, the piranhas lurking at the bottom of the river in the distance suddenly swarmed into this area, causing a bloody storm in the lake!
"Hmm?!" Coco, who was in Xu Xin's arms, was startled. She climbed onto his shoulders and hung on his back, sticking out her little head to look into the lake.
Xu Xin has been paying attention to the piranhas in the lake.
"Your method is good, but it's a pity for these fish." Ji Chaoyang said as he looked at the boiling lake that was gradually turning bloody.
"I have seen those fish. They are no different from ordinary fish. The materials are just pure green-level materials."
"Oh? That's no problem."
Xu Xin used the group of fish in the lake as bait and attracted all the piranhas into the lake. When all the red dots gathered in the lake, he immediately took out the gem fragment again.
In an instant, white light shone on the already blood-red lake, and the water began to boil even more!
However, this time it was not the piranhas that were chasing the fleeing ordinary fish, but they were fleeing like crazy under the white light, and they even couldn't find the way out of the lake because of their panic!
Soon, the lake became calm.
In the map, only a dozen red dots escaped from the lake, and the rest of the piranhas all remained at the bottom of this lake, which was originally like a fairy lake but is now a bloody lake.
After the piranhas died, they did not float to the surface of the water, but all sank to the bottom of the lake.
The remaining piranhas had all swam frantically along the underground river towards the hilly resource area. Within a few seconds, they disappeared.
They are probably afraid of this place and will not come back for a long time.
Xu Xin glanced at the bottom of the lake. Through the red water, he saw the bottom of the lake filled with dead piranhas.
many!
Really good!
This piranha is a low-level mutant creature. In addition to the blue-level fish scales and skin, its meat is also edible. Moreover, the meat of low-level mutant creatures is very delicious and can also enhance strength. It is a rare good meat!
"Let me go down. This lake is very deep and you may not be able to stand it." With that, Xu Xin jumped into the lake.
There were still a few ordinary fish swimming in the lake. When they saw Xu Xin coming down with the pearl fragments, they all came to his side.
"These fish have been affected by the white light for some time. Maybe we can take them back to have a look." Xu Xin immediately made a few wooden barrels in the water like he did with the ornamental fish before, put the fish into the barrels, and put them into the backpack.
Then he went to the bottom of the lake and put all the piranha carcasses into his backpack.
Even in the water, he could clearly feel that his body was much heavier.
Although a small number of piranhas escaped, there were still more than twenty piranhas left at the bottom of the lake. Together with the eight that had died before, there were a total of thirty-two dead fish in the backpack. Even if only one-tenth of it was heavy, that was the weight of three piranhas that were more than one meter long and had very firm flesh!
After swimming to the shore, Xu Xin immediately gave half to Ji Chaoyang: "You take half, it's too heavy and it affects my movement."
"Okay." Ji Chaoyang naturally accepted all the offers.
Neither of them used the boning knife to cut up so many fish directly on the spot. Because they were now capable of making a purple-level boning knife, they planned to make a purple-level boning knife after returning, and then cut up these fish to see if they could get higher-level materials.
After doing all this, Xu Xin looked back in the direction he came from.
Although they basically swam here and did not look for the way to the shore, Coco kept running on the shore, and Xu Xin also told it to alert them if there was any situation on the shore.
Coco's observation and perception are much stronger than mine. If it couldn't find a way out, it means that the road it came from has no exit.
There is another way out underwater, which is the underground river where piranhas swim.
However, the river was about ten meters deep. If he was alone, he could still try it from there, but Ji Chaoyang, Yin Wang and Coco could not go there. Moreover, they did not know how deep it was. If they continued to move forward, there might be other more powerful mutant monsters that were not afraid of white light. Naturally, they could not try it from there.
It seems that the only place where we can find the exit is the iron room.
"Come on, let's go to the room behind the waterfall."
"good."
Before Xu Xin entered the water, he took another look at the messy shore and lake.
The deserted shore and the red lake, he and Ji Chaoyang came here, and the original "paradise" has turned into a scene like hell.
Shaking his head, Xu Xin jumped into the water, swam to the end of the lake, crossed the waterfall again, and came to this iron room.
Because Xu Xin had been holding the orb fragment in his hand, when he entered the iron room, the entire room was illuminated by white light. Coupled with the smoothness of the iron wall, white light was reflected in all directions.
"Hmm!" Coco felt a little dizzy and lay on the Silver King's back and closed her eyes.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang also narrowed their eyes, somewhat overwhelmed by the sudden white light.
It's really strange. If I stare directly at the glowing fragments, they won't feel dazzling, so why do these walls become dazzling instead
Moreover, the brightness showed no signs of decreasing. It was even getting brighter and brighter. Even the surrounding temperature began to rise!
You know, this iron room has smooth iron surfaces on all six sides, and all six sides are glowing. Their current situation is like a person standing inside a light bulb, which is simply unbearable!
“…Xu Xin, put these fragments away first. If you continue like this, you won’t be able to open your eyes.” Ji Chaoyang covered his eyes with his hands and frowned.
As he spoke, the brightness in the room grew a little brighter.
"Awoo!" The Silver King also closed his eyes and even lay on the ground covering his eyes with his two paws.
"...Okay, but be careful, there is definitely something strange in this room. Without the suppression of this core, some problems may arise." Xu Xin covered the glowing orb fragments with his hands, but the light that came through his fingers still made the room brighter and brighter.
It seems that covering it up like this is of no use.
Xu Xin immediately put the pearl away.
Even without the bright white light emitted by the orb, the room did not immediately become dim, but remained very bright. However, Xu Xin and the others could feel that the brightness was gradually decreasing.
It felt as if the energy emitted by the orb was absorbed by this house.
Gradually, although the room was still bright, I could open my eyes.
“Bing…” Coco loosened her little paws that were covering her eyes and blinked, “Bing? Bing!”
Coco jumped onto Xu Xin's shoulders in two moves, pointed her little paw at the wall facing the entrance, and pushed Xu Xin's face with her other little paw.
"What's going on over there?" Xu Xin squinted his eyes and looked over there. The iron wall in front was still as bright as before, and he couldn't see anything. There were no obvious changes such as cracks.
"嘤!" Coco still pointed at the wall.
Seeing Coco's persistence, Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang squinted their eyes and looked at the iron wall that was still emitting a relatively dazzling light.
Gradually, the brightness dimmed, and Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang's eyes gradually widened, and then widened wider.
"this… "
"Is this... Chinese characters?"
Xu Xin immediately looked around; the other walls, floors, and ceilings had all dimmed as normal; only this wall looked abnormal.
Although this iron wall also dimmed, it was not completely dark. Instead, a bright font with white light was left behind. Moreover, it was Chinese characters that Xu Xin and the others could understand!
Soon, the wall became almost completely dark, and the words gradually became clear.
The first sentence shocked both Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang.
"... I am the giant who protects this world...?"
Could this be... a message left by the giant's head? !
They immediately continued reading.
"My blood has the ability to mutate other creatures. All the beasts in this world have mutated due to the influence of my blood..."
Oh shit!
This is... the original giant beast?! Are all the giant beasts in this world influenced by it?!
The images of the giant anaconda in the center of the lake, the giant crocodile at the bottom of the stream, the blood-marked troll, and the giant pangolin instantly emerged in Xu Xin's mind.
So these giant beasts were all influenced by it
"Half a year ago, the world was invaded by foreign enemies. I fought back vigorously, but the enemy possessed unknown powerful weapons. I was eventually defeated and escaped by luck."
Half a year ago... The information Xu Xin got was fifty years ago. It seemed that this passage had been left here decades ago.
"Because the enemy's minions are all covered with blood veins, I call them the Blood Vein Clan."
"After I was defeated, the Blood Mark Clan sent down a blood-red light, causing half of the creatures on the planet to mutate."
"In order to prevent them from easily controlling this world, I used up the last bit of my strength to mix all my blood into rivers, lakes and the sea, so that the first batch of mutant creatures not only possessed the power of blood veins, but also possessed the qualities of giant beasts."
"These mutant creatures will initially be completely controlled by the Bloodline Clan, but as the blood of the giant beasts gradually awakens, they will eventually regain their consciousness."
"But I was discovered by the Blood Mark Clan because of this. They were unable to kill me completely, so my body and power core were divided into twelve parts and scattered around the world. My head was trapped here, with only the last bit of consciousness left."
“When my consciousness was about to fade away, a vague voice told me that a group of travelers would come from another world to save this world that was about to fall into darkness.”
"This is my only hope for this world."
"I gathered the remaining strength in my head into a partially broken core and left these words."
"This room was left by the Blood Mark Clan to suppress my remaining power, but with my core here, the Blood Mark Clan cannot get close to this place, so there is no need to worry."
"This passage can only be activated by my core. Although I am dying, my core still contains extremely strong power. The Blood Mark Clan cannot get close to it. Only someone who can truly save this world can activate it."
“I hope that those who read these words will be able to find my bodies scattered around the world and complete their core of strength.”
"Then I will be resurrected and save the whole world."
"Before then, my power will be at your disposal."
"Traveler, please save this world!"
The bright text ended here and became dimmer and dimmer. Finally, the entire text dimmed completely, and the iron room fell into darkness.
Xu Xin and Ji Chaoyang looked at each other, and both could see the shock in each other's eyes.
It seems like they know something extraordinary
