Chapter 1153 The Water Surges
"What do you want to do? Do you want to challenge me? Do you want to blow me up?"
In the dim place with skeletons everywhere, the elders in front of Xue Wu were constantly posing in various poses and shouting at the same time. ? E ?Little??? said ?????
The object of its shouting was a group of creatures that had just emerged from the ground... Blood Mist had seen this group of creatures before, a group of creatures that looked like caterpillars and were more than one meter long.
They look fat and soft, with stubby soft spines all over their bodies. This weird creature seems to have a lot to do with crystals.
Their appearance together with crystallized eggs this time proves this point, but why do they appear here?
"Don't you understand? A bunch of stupid things!" The elder was still shouting at these caterpillars. It began to speak in the language of the Emerald Dragon, and then it continued to scream for more than ten seconds in a language that the blood mist could not understand. At first, the caterpillars had no reaction to the elders, but slowly they seemed to have some... opinions on the elders' words.
I saw a caterpillar twisting its body and crawling towards the elder. Upon seeing this, the elder immediately took a few steps back. Suddenly, the caterpillar suddenly accelerated and rushed towards the elder... The elder also turned around and ran away at the same time.
The blood mist discovered that the caterpillar was very fast, and the ground it crawled over would leave a layer of sparkling liquid. This layer of liquid would quickly harden and turn into a layer of... crystals.
Soon, the elder ran behind Xue Wu. Xue Wu couldn't see what was going on because he couldn't turn his head, but he saw that the caterpillars in front of him were also moving now.
They pushed the crystallized eggs around them, slowly pushing them to a skeleton.
"It's that fish skeleton..." The blood mist showed the familiar appearance of the skeleton, because it had been very concerned about why there were fish bones here... The skeleton was very big, it should be a seawater fish...
‘Bang! ’ Suddenly, a dazzling light lit up in front of Xue Wu’s eyes, and he saw several eggs stacked together exploded at the same time. When the light slowly dissipated, Xue Wu found that nothing much had changed around him.
It's just that... there is a big... hole where the eggs used to be.
It seemed like a hole made by an explosion. As for the caterpillars, they were gone. Could it be that they were blown to pieces by the explosion?
'Gululu...' Xue Wu was thinking about it. It heard the sound again, coming from the hole and getting closer to the ground.
Could it be that……
'boom--! ’ From the entrance of the cave, a huge column of water burst out. It instantly hit the top of the tree hole, and amid the continuous rumbling sound, water droplets like a rainstorm poured crazily around it.
"...water actually gushes out..."
It seems that it is not just water, but also in the water column. Xue Mist also saw many fish and other aquatic creatures being washed out of the cave along with the water column, and then fell heavily to the ground and continued to struggle.
There may be an underground lake or underground river here. Those crystal caterpillars just exploded the underground passage, causing groundwater to surge up... This is the only explanation that Xue Wu can think of.
‘Pa—’ until a creature... hit it on the head.
This creature has four limbs, a blue body, and is more than thirty centimeters long. Xue Wu is very familiar with this creature... because it is the most famous character in the 'Salty and Sweet Convention' - the Newt.
Of course, sea salamanders live in the sea, so they have this name. Therefore, Xue Wu's previous thoughts were instantly overturned, because the water coming out of here seemed to be... sea water.
But no matter what Xue Wu thinks, it makes no sense. The salamander that landed on its head slowly slid down its face and fell to the ground. Then the blood mist's vision was restored again, and it saw that the water in the cave was still gushing out.
The fish struggling on the ground slowly stopped struggling, because the ground was filled with a layer of water.
As the water column continued to gush out, the water level also slowly rose. Various fish and crustaceans were swimming in the water. Only then did Xue Mist notice that there seemed to be no drowned fish here. Meat bugs... They seem to have escaped long ago. Could it be said that these bugs have noticed the current situation very early?
However, here is an ordinary scorpion that was submerged in water.
"Oh oh oh! They're crazy! They're blowing this place up!"
The elder appeared in front of the blood mist again, half of its body was soaked in the water. Its eight legs were swinging in the water, and its forelimbs were holding half of a caterpillar... It seemed that the caterpillar that had just chased it was torn into two pieces.
"They dare to flood this place! I'm going to run away. You can make an undersea statue here! Gaga gah!" The elder shouted a few words to the location of the blood mist, and then swam in another direction. Soon the blood mist could no longer see it.
"..."
Xue Mist just stayed there, watching the changes here.
The water level slowly got higher and higher, from Xue Mist's feet to its waist, and finally approached its head... submerging its entire dragon into the water.
The scenery in front of Xue Wu therefore turned into a scene of a lot of floating crystal bones and a group of aquatic creatures swimming around. Just looking at the scenery seemed quite interesting, but Xue Wu had no time to enjoy this scenery.
Because right now... it can't breathe. This is something that will definitely happen after being submerged in water.
It is still solidified on the ground. Unlike most of the surrounding crystals floating in the water, the blood mist cannot move at all now...
Just like what the elders said, it might be necessary to make a real statue in the water... Thinking of this, Xue Mist suddenly swung his body.
Its mind strongly demands that it wants to live, because it still has too many things to do, and it doesn't want to die here! It began to use all its strength to move every part of its body, trying to break free of the crystals that trapped it.
Then it quickly lost consciousness...
Moving around at the last moment caused the oxygen in its body to be consumed rapidly. When the oxygen was insufficient to supply energy to the brain, its consciousness also disappeared, but...
"…Where is this place? Am I not…dead yet?"
The blood mist opened its eyes again. It found that it was still unable to move and seemed to be still in its original position. There were scattered bones everywhere, some crystallized and some not. Between these skeletons, there were Many fish and other aquatic creatures are mostly motionless, and some will occasionally twitch their bodies.
"So... it's been a long time, and the water has receded... What happened to me..." Xue Wu felt strange about the strangeness of his body, as if it was still alive after falling into the rift before, and now it was It's okay after being submerged in water, but there is a period of unconsciousness every time.
What happened to it during its coma? Xue Wu wanted to ask if there were any creatures around him that had seen the whole process, but unfortunately the only creatures around him were a group of fish that were about to die, and...
"Gah! Scorpion?" Xue Wu suddenly saw a huge scorpion appearing in front of it. It was startled, but it quickly calmed down.
This scorpion is twice as big as the elder, and has a tail stinger, which means it is not an elder, but the kind of scorpion called...Brondu's scorpion.
There are many kinds of this kind of scorpions, but they usually have a general name. They all live in the sea, and they taste very unpleasant, neither salty nor sweet.
It seems that this Brondeau scorpion was also washed up from the sea. It is now crawling next to a fish and starting to eat the prey that cannot resist.
Xue Wu also noticed that in addition to Brondus scorpions, there were many trilobites and other creatures here. They took full advantage of the advantages of crustaceans and could move around freely without water and eat these at will. 'Free' food.
However, compared to the surrounding environment, Xue Wu found that his body could move to a greater extent, and it immediately began to try to twist its body.
'Kara...'
The sound of crystals cracking reached Xue Wu's hearing, which made Xue Wu excited. It tried harder... Soon, with a burst of explosions, the crystals in Xue Wu's right hand were completely shattered, and its hand also Able to move.
"Great! Looks like we'll be able to..."
The blood mist immediately prepared to continue moving, but it soon stopped moving.
Because the sound it made when it broke the crystals just now attracted the attention of the crustacean creatures here, most of the creatures just looked here and continued to eat the fish under them, but this was not the case with this creature.
It directly spit the fish in its mouth aside and moved its huge body to crawl towards the blood mist.
This creature is called...a giant horseshoe crab. It is more than three meters long, covered with armor, and has a tail as sharp as a spear. It tastes extremely unpleasant, no better than excrement. This is the only thing the blood mist can do to this creature. Knowledge.
Now, Xue Wu can update his understanding of this creature. This giant horseshoe crab came to Xue Wu. It stretched out its two forelimbs and grabbed the blood mist that had not completely detached itself from the crystallization.
Then he pulled hard, and there was a sudden bursting sound from Xue Wu's heel. If he hadn't felt the pain, Xue Wu would have thought his foot was broken.
However, the current situation is not much better than breaking it off. After the giant horseshoe crab pulled the blood mist off the ground, it put it on its back.
Usually the back of a horseshoe crab is smooth and cannot carry anything, but the giant horseshoe crab has several small movable limb structures on its back, so it can fix the blood mist on its back. After fixing the blood mist, it goes to one place—— Climb into the big hole in the ground.
That hole was exactly where the sea water came out. No matter how hard the blood mist struggled, it seemed that it was not that easy to untie the crystals all over its body.
Therefore, it can only watch itself being taken into the cave by the giant horseshoe crab and moving all the way deeper. Where does this road lead?
The blood mist was unclear, but it believed that if it had miraculously survived before, it probably wouldn't die this time.
……hope so. (To be continued.)
