novelThe Secret of the Mud Lake, the Land of Clarity
| ← Ch.051 | Ch.053 → |
Outside the lake, Nie Ling, whose entire body was bursting with true essence, was stunned.
She stopped Li Mengxi from going into the lake.
Li Mengxi was confused.
Although she did not need to give her life to help Su Yi, Su Yi had pushed her out of harm's way.
It could be considered saving her life. This could be considered a favor that had to be repaid.
However, Nie Ling suddenly stopped and even stopped her from saving Su Yi. Could it be...
Nie Ling looked at her with a joyful expression and slowly said, "Su Yi is fine."
As expected, just as she finished speaking, a pitch-black figure broke through the seal of the mud in the middle of the mud lake and came to the two women's side at an extremely fast speed.
During this time, there was also a gust of humid wind...
He had not realized it, but the two women had already left him and stood far away.
He wiped the mud off his face with great difficulty, and his line of sight finally returned to his eyes.
Seeing the two women standing far away, he immediately asked in puzzlement, "what's wrong with you two? I have..."
He suddenly remembered that he was still covered in mud all over his body. Immediately, his true essence circulated around him and removed the mud on his body, making him look cleaner.
However, the smell on his body would not disperse for a while.
After a while, he finally returned to his normal state. Then, he explained to the two girls, "this mud lake is not a demon beast, but a kind of spiritual plant. It has pure hunting intelligence."
"In terms of strength, it won't pose any danger to us. The only thing we need to pay attention to is the erosion damage of this mud lake."
He looked at the mud lake, which was surrounded by a green forest. It was about two to three miles wide, and could be considered a great lake.
However, there was one thing that made people curious. What exactly was it that made the water turn into mud?
After Su Yi broke free, the vines on the surface of the lake started to twitch and sway, looking very strange and eerie.
"Fellow Daoist Su, let's leave this place."
Nie Ling looked at the vines on the surface of the lake and frowned slightly. The soft mud was emitting a foul smell after being whipped by the vines.
Therefore, she did not hesitate to ask Su Yi to leave this place. However, they did not expect him to refuse.
"No, we can't leave yet." He took out the essence of water from before, and it was emitting a lustrous light. Moreover, the direction of the light was towards the mud lake.
Could there be a connection?
Nie Ling looked at the essence of water and then at Su Yi, wanting to obtain his response. The latter smiled lightly and looked at the swaying vine.
"I feel that there's a connection between them. This essence of water is a trial item. Naturally, it won't cause us to search around aimlessly."
"The faint light in it might be guiding us in a certain direction, and it will only emit light after reaching a certain range."
His voice was deep as he spoke. The two women seemed to understand, but only Su Yi, who was holding the essence of water, could understand.
This bead was calling for something, as if it was attracted by something. There must be something in the Mud Lake.
"So, what should we do? Let's make it clear first, I'm not going down there, even if there's a trial item down there." Looking at the smelly mud lake, Li Mengxi was the first to reject it.
If it covered her whole body, she would probably be disgusted for three days.
"I, I don't want to go down either..." Nie Ling's eyes flashed, she glanced at Su Yi and replied.
Seeing that the two girls refused to go down the mud lake, Su Yi sighed. He thought to himself, 'it's a woman's nature to love beauty. '
What's wrong with this mud lake? It's just a little dirty, it's just a little smelly. What's the big deal?
He looked at the two girls and said, "okay, okay. You guys attack those vines on the shore. I'll go down myself."
As he said that, he was ready to take off his clothes. He did not want to dirty his clothes anymore.
"Ah!"
Frightened by Su Yi's sudden undressing, the two women covered their eyes. However, one of them was tightly shut, while the other had her fingers wide open.
He did not plan to do anything lewd. He put the robe back into the seal space.
Then, he activated his true essence protection and jumped into the mud lake.
Plop-
He jumped into the mud lake, stirring up a wave of mud.
The vines seemed to have sensed something and stopped beating the mud. However, all three of them knew that there was already an undercurrent under the mud lake.
The two women looked at each other and nodded, then started to use long-range spells to attack the vines that appeared on the surface of the lake.
...
In the mud lake.
Su Yi had true essence to protect his body, but he could not see anything. This time, the mud did not affect his body, so it did not reduce his qi and blood points.
He held the essence of water in his hand and followed the direction of the flashing light.
While he was searching, occasionally, some vines would pass through the mud and attack him, but he would use his sword finger to cut them off one by one.
This spirit plant vine did not have a high cultivation level, and just a single sword finger was enough to break it.
Soon, following the instructions of the essence of water, a clear light appeared in front of him.
It was a cave entrance, and the surroundings of the cave entrance were not the disgusting and smelly mud, but very clear water.
This made him somewhat surprised, as he did not expect that this mud lake had such a clear water source.
He jumped, and his body passed through something that looked like a thin film. Then, his entire body sank into the water. At the same time, the essence of water in his hand shone brightly, as if to remind him that he had arrived at the place.
[Hint: You have entered the secret area of the water swamp. ]
A heavenly voice prompt caused Su Yi to be stunned for a moment. He did not expect that this place of clarity was actually a secret area.
Under the cover of the mud outside, this place appeared so clear. It could indeed be said that it was a secret area.
However, he could not see any plants in this secret area. It was as if this place of clear and bright lake water was created by someone.
After channeling his true essence into his eyes, he could roughly see it in the water. At a glance, he could see that there were moss-covered rocks at the bottom. There was no trace of green in the crevices of the rocks.
Suddenly, there was movement behind Su Yi. He found that the mud vines that wanted to attack him had touched the clean water.
As if they had touched a forbidden area, they quickly retreated.
"It seems that the spirit plant is somewhat afraid of this place."
Seeing that the vines did not dare to attack him, he slowly swam.
Soon, he saw a sparkling light coming from the moss-covered rocks at the bottom.
