I don’t know how deep the water bottom is here. Anyway, there is no light shining down from above. If we talk about the line of sight, there is only an area illuminated by the light emitted when the Yuan Power explodes. Because he has to concentrate, Bai Yunfei’s soul consciousness It didn't spread too far, but at least it was certain that within a radius of 800 meters, there was this red and black lake.
Now, under the faint light and shadow, a huge black shadow gradually rose from the bottom of the water three hundred meters ahead. A vague circular outline could be seen, and a huge 'ball' that was a hundred meters in size floated up. When the ball was halfway up, two 'red gaps' nearly ten meters long appeared on it. Then the gaps grew bigger and bigger, and finally it looked like two huge red lanterns hanging on it.
If you take a closer look, you will find that these two 'lanterns' are a pair of scarlet eyes!
As the huge object 'opened its eyes', a burst of faint blue light began to emit from the huge sphere, spreading all the way, and finally stretched out thick tentacles at the bottom, spreading out like a spider web - finally, this The mysterious soul beast showed its complete appearance in front of Bai Yunfei.
After seeing the appearance of this soul beast clearly, Bai Yunfei was slightly shocked and couldn't help shouting: "This... is really an octopus!!"
good! What appears in front of you now is clearly a huge octopus!
Things like 'octopus' are actually extremely rare in the Tianhun Empire, because this kind of 'seafood' is only found in the sea area on the southern border of the empire. It is more common in some places along the coast, but it is very rare in other places, and there are only some Only those with "status" can recognize it. Some ordinary civilians don't know what an "octopus" is at all. Even Bai Yunfei didn't know this thing until he came to the capital.
But now, the 'octopus' in front of him is obviously not the small aquatic animal that he knows as food. It is an extremely powerful soul beast, and it is extremely 'rare'.
"A water soul beast... And it's a water soul beast that looks like this. I seem to have an impression... What's its name?"
Bai Yunfei's eyes flashed slightly, and he thought quickly in his mind. He had not memorized many of the contents of the Soul Beast Illustrated Book given to him by Master Zijin. After all, there were too many contents, and he had even forgotten it since he left the Soul Beast Forest. After reading a lot, he felt as if he had seen some information about the soul beast in front of him, but he couldn't remember it for a while.
Water tribe soul beasts are a relatively small category among the soul beast group, because most of these soul beasts have certain limitations, that is, they must live in the water, and their strength is greatly reduced or even directly lost after they leave the water and go ashore. , so they basically don’t move around. There are only a few large water bodies in the Soul Beast Forest where water-type soul beasts gather. In other places, it is almost rare to see them.
For example, the river rat "Xiao Tang" who was with Hongyin at the beginning was a water soul beast, but it was not a "fish" soul beast, and it did not have to be in the water.
Of course, this is talking about the situation on the Tianhun Continent. Legend has it that 'outside the continent', that is, the 'Endless Sea' to the south of the continent, there are countless water-type soul beasts...
…
"It's really strange that a water-type soul beast would appear here... Moreover, judging from the previous situation, in addition to the water-type soul beast, this soul beast also has earth-type attributes. It is really special to have two mutually exclusive attributes."
Bai Yunfei paid close attention to the octopus soul beast in front of him, while thinking: "It's really a disadvantage to fight a water soul beast in the water. Coupled with the attribute restraint, it would be extremely difficult for me to deal with it. Fortunately, Xiao Qi also Yes, then there should be no problem. I just don’t know if there are any other enemies besides this octopus... "
He just wanted to leave here before, but now that he has been dragged into the opponent's lair, a battle is inevitable. But it happened to be in the water, and his fire power was greatly restrained, so he had no choice but to No matter how careful you are, you don't dare to take action easily.
"Woo..."
A deep voice came from the octopus' mouth, forming a circle of shocks visible to the naked eye in the water that spread out. Just this subconscious roar caused some objects under the water to fly in all directions, and the surrounding objects were shaken. The lake water also became turbid, and some rolled up rocks kept hitting them, but Bai Yunfei pushed them away casually.
"Bang!"
Bai Yunfei pointed forward with his right hand, and shot out a burst of fire energy. After contacting the lake water, it began to weaken rapidly. Before disappearing, it hit an incoming stone and broke it into pieces, but only ten pieces were broken. Paddling away from the side, another black thing rolled over with the current.
Bai Yunfei originally wanted to wave this thing away, but when his soul power was only half concentrated, he suddenly raised his eyebrows and immediately stopped what he was doing, with a shocked look on his face.
Because, what hit us this time was not a 'stone', but... a person!
To be precise, a corpse! !
And it was a mutilated, almost skeletal corpse!
Subconsciously dodging to the side to avoid the corpse, Bai Yunfei looked forward again in surprise. This time, his pupils shrank and his expression changed directly to 'horror'!
Corpses... so many corpses! !
It turns out that the dense black shadows that 'floated' out from under the giant octopus as it rose were not rocks or plants under the water, but... corpses!
The blue elemental light emitted by the octopus became stronger and stronger, and finally illuminated the bottom of the water. At this moment, Bai Yunfei could really see clearly that what was under the body of the octopus in front of him was not 'soil' at all, but An unknown layer of bones!
Densely packed, countless, most of them have turned into white bones. Only the top 'layer' of corpses still has some skin and flesh. When it is stirred, there is even a trace of blood squeezed out from the corpses and melted into it. Into the water.
At the same time, Bai Yunfei also discovered that as the octopus stirred, the crimson color of the lake he was in seemed to become thicker—so thick that it turned black.
"This this… "
Bai Yunfei's eyes twitched, and his expression was horrified. He suddenly 'understood' why the water was 'red', and he also understood what the disgusting smell he had felt since arriving was. …
Blood! !
This water is dyed red with blood! That unpleasant smell is also the smell of blood that has been decaying for who knows how long!
In fact, when Bai Yunfei looked at it, he didn't know how big the lake was. There might even be more blood than water! !
This is simply a 'blood pool'! !
Where did such a large amount of blood come from? The answer can be obtained from the countless bones under the octopus. At the same time, the answer seems to have been found as to why such a large Lishui City became a city where no one died...
"asshole!!"
After Bai Yunfei saw the countless corpses, his expression kept changing, from shock, horror, confusion, surprise... and finally, it settled into overwhelming anger!
One city! This soul beast actually killed a whole city of people!
"Damn!!!"
