The water waves surged and mist splashed across the lake.

The surging water waves dispersed, and the surrounding ships suddenly swayed up and down.

The Bai He Wan boats are all Diaozi Boat, with curved bottoms, flexible operation, smooth beach crossing, shallow draft, and low resistance, which have many advantages.

But it is also greatly affected by water waves.

The hull of the boat shook violently, and someone immediately lost his balance and fell into the water.

But no matter Wang Lao Bie, Third Master Chen, or Bai Weng Hai, they all ignored them at this time and stared at the opposite side.

That Tomb Guardian Beast moved very fast. Although it was wrapped in the water waves, it only took one blow to get back into the lake, but they could still vaguely see each other's appearance.

It was a strange giant beast, with a body as long and narrow as a snake, but covered with hair. Although it was covered with green algae, you could also see that the background was white.

What's even weirder is that around the opponent's body, there are sharp and long claws extending out, very much like a centipede.

But the head is an animal head, like some kind of white ferret, with blood-red eyes, a huge mouth, and extremely ferocious fangs.

"What is this?!"

Wang Lao Bie gasped.

Tomb Guardian Beast, of course he has seen it too.

This kind of secret method left by the Mystical Arts Sect can either seal Strange Beast with a secret method, just like Turtle Breath Technique. Once someone breaks in, they will break the seal and come out to fight, and usually they will not survive long.

Or, cultivate a large group of Strange Beast to form an ecological circle of mutual restraint. You eat me, I eat you, and the group continues to multiply.

But no matter which one they are, they are nothing more than ferocious beasts and poisonous insects.

For example, he met a Tomb Guardian Beast who refined a tiger into a demon corpse to stop tomb robbers.

But the giant beast in front of me had never heard of it.

Comparable to those bizarre things in <"Classic of Mountains and Seas">.

Boom!

Before anyone could recover, the giant beast burst out of the water again and bit a small boat and the people on it into pieces.

"Quick, get to the shore!"

Wang Lao Bie shouted quickly.

They have no advantage at all in the water, and their only chance is to go ashore and kill the creature.

But at this moment, something surprising happened to him.

A dark shadow swam at the bottom of the lake, swimming towards another boat.

When Bai Weng Hai saw it, he suddenly shouted, "Si Lang, I'm charging at you, do it quickly!"

When a man on the ship heard this, he immediately opened his backpack behind him and took out an oil paper bag.

He tore open the oil paper package, pulled out a piece of fuse, then blocked the rain with his hand, blew on the fire stick, and lit it directly.

Boom!

At this moment, Tomb Guardian Beast broke out of the water, biting the boat into pieces, swallowing the gunpowder packet into its mouth, and then got into the bottom of the lake again.

Boom!

A muffled sound came from the bottom of the lake.

Then, a large amount of black water gushes out, and the lake is filled with a fishy stench.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, everyone rowed wildly and came ashore one after another.

After landing, they breathed a sigh of relief and looked at the lake.

In the pouring rain, something gradually rose from the lake, like a long, furry snake, with half of its body exposed, its head and tail submerged in the water, motionless.

"Dead?"

Bai Laobing swallowed his saliva.

This was the first time he had seen such a fierce Tomb Guardian Beast.

Wow!

At this moment, the giant beast began to twist again, and finally its head slowly poked out of the water.

This thing's head was like a mink, but extremely ferocious. At this moment, half of its mouth and cheeks had been blown away, and rotten flesh hung from the corners of its mouth, leaving black blood, staring at them.

It turns out that this thing was just knocked unconscious just now.

"Get ready!"

Bai Weng Hai gave the order, and many of his subordinates immediately took out their oil paper bags, blew on the fire sticks, and stared at the giant beast in the lake without fear.

From the looks of it, he was going to use the method of burning both jade and stone together.

"Roar!"

This giant beast also seemed to feel threatened, and it roared sharply at them, then turned around suddenly, got into the water, and swam quickly towards the center of the lake, and soon disappeared.

"Scared away?"

Third Master Chen looked at Bai Weng Hai.

As he spoke, he looked at his subordinates calmly.

He was also full of shock at this moment.

The giant beasts are still there, but the key is these people.

Since the imperial government's control of gunpowder got out of control, he fell in love with it, not only using it to blow up tombs, but also to kill enemies.

But I have never thought of using this method.

After all, no one is a fool and dares to use gunpowder to kill each other.

These people are definitely not bandits!

Bai Weng Hai looked at the lake in the distance with thoughtful eyes, and then said in a deep voice, "She must have run away, hurry up, let's take this opportunity to go to the tomb first!"

After giving the order, the people of Bai He Wan boarded the boat one after another.

Seeing such impatient expression, Third Master Chen frowned and said, "Clan Chief Bai, you are too impatient. What if..."

"Hahaha."

Bai Weng Hai smiled and said, "It doesn't matter. If you are afraid, just stay outside and I'll go in and take a look first."

After that, he ignored the two of them and went straight to the boat.

It is indeed wise to retreat in order to advance this time.

Wang Lao Bie and Third Master Chen originally planned to send a few people into the tomb to make some arrangements, and then they would enter again and find an opportunity to hide.

This method is a common trick used by tomb robbers.

Sometimes when they enter the tomb and find other people, they will fake their own death and hide in the dark, pretend to be gods and ghosts, and kill other people.

Or wait for others to eliminate the mechanism, and they will eat it ready-made.

This trick is called "Ghost Obscures Eyes".

But I didn't expect that Bai Weng Hai was so unreasonable that he would take everyone to the tomb.

Even the old men, women and children looked excited, as if they were afraid that the treasures inside would be robbed.

Damn!

Wang Lao Bie and Third Master Chen are both silent curses.

The people they brought were all very skilled, but they really didn't dare to fall out with these lunatics at the moment.

No matter how skilled you are, you can't withstand this explosive.

Third Master Chen's heart is full of mixed feelings.

They used explosives and once killed a master, but they didn't expect that ordinary people would use this stuff later.

Even the scary Tomb Guardian Beast was scared away.

Gunpowder has really changed the landscape of the world.

Thinking of this, the two of them also led their men on board the boat.

Of course, they were still relatively cautious, leaving two people each on the boat to take care of them, while the rest jumped into the lake and turned into the opened tomb passage...

In the distant mountain forest, Li Yan and Lu San showed their heads.

They saw everything just now.

"Yan XiaoGe, it should be that thing!"

Lu San looked at the lake in the distance, his eyes full of surprise. This was also the first time for him to see such a weird Strange Beast.

"Wan Yan, a big beast, like a raccoon, with a long length..."

Li Yan shook his head and said, "Guo Pu said it is a bit exaggerated, but it is pretty much the same. It should be this thing."

"Calculating the time, it should be those descendants of Giant Turtle Master who dug up the mud in the lake, awakened the creature, and then killed those Maitreya Sect disciples."

Alligator Dragon This thing was very weak and a bit stupid when it was young, so it often dug holes in the river to hide from natural enemies.

Looking at the people on the lake in the distance, Lu San shook his head and said, "Then 'Wan Yan' is difficult to deal with in the water, and the movement is loud, which will inevitably disturb those people."

Li Yan thought for a while, "These Maitreya Sect gangsters are all lunatics, carrying explosives and seeking death. It is not appropriate for a head-on conflict."

"With such a massive effort, there is also 'Wan Yan' as Tomb Guardian Beast. This tomb is not simple, it must be related to Xuanmen."

"It's probably quite dangerous inside. Let's just wait and see. You wait here while I collect some 'Wan Yan' flesh and blood."

Although there was an accident, he never forgot the purpose of his trip, which was to help Master Lin find the flesh and blood of "Wan Yan" to cure his illness.

This Strange Beast was more ferocious than he imagined. He didn't even get killed by biting the explosive packet, and he was very fast in the water.

Fortunately, just now, this thing's cheeks were blown to pieces.

All he had to do was fish out a piece of flesh and blood.

After giving some instructions, Li Yan immediately pinched Mystical Gestures and Pacing the Gang and Stepping the Dipper, and whispered, "Nogao! Tianzhen Taisu, the essence of Rengui. The inner part should be stored in the kidney, and the upper part should be the mercury. I am now accustomed to it, and everything follows its shape..."

Phew~

As he recited the mantra, the wind roared around him, and the white mist surged and enveloped him.

The mist dissipated, and Li Yan had disappeared.

It's raining heavily right now, which is most suitable for North Emperor Black Water Escape.

The water mist rolled down from the mountain and blended into the surrounding environment. Li Yan was hidden in it. Even when it came to the shore and entered the water, the few people on the lake did not see it at all.

Due to Daoxing restrictions, Li Yan and Profound Water Escape are just entry-level.

Even so, after entering the water, his figure was still there, his whole body Gangsha Energy intertwined with the water flow, and he could jump several meters away just by swinging his legs slightly.

Experts who are familiar with water properties are not as fast as him.

Of course, there are also troubles after entering the water.

His Divine Ability needs to breathe through his nose, which of course cannot be done in water, so he can only rely on memory to find where the "Wan Yan" was injured.

The sky was heavy and gloomy, and the light in the water was not good.

Moreover, the injured area of "Wan Yan" is further away from the entrance of the underwater tomb, and the bottom of the lake is deeper, so we can only explore it a little bit.

Li Yan From time to time he would touch the stumps and broken arms and throw them aside casually.

Just when he couldn't hold his breath anymore and was planning to return to the lake, he suddenly caught a ball of furry things in his hand.

When I pulled it out from the bottom of the lake, I saw that it was the "Wan Yan" cheek flesh, with mixed black and white textures, the skin was about a palm thick, and it was covered with long white hairs.

It turned out that the entire piece of his cheek had been blown away.

Li Yan felt happy, picked it up and swam to the shore.

Suddenly, his face changed slightly, and he felt a chill rising on his back...

At the same time, Lu San in the woods on the shore suddenly stood up, stared at the lake with his eyes wide open.

I saw that in the center of the lake, thick mist had risen at some point and spread rapidly. No matter how heavy the rain was, it was not affected at all.

Not only that, there are also little green lights in the mist, floating like will-o'-the-wisps, more and more, as the mist gathers and disperses.

Rumble!

God seemed to be enraged as well, with thunder and lightning.

The entire lake was illuminated by lightning from time to time.

As the lightning flashed, dark shadows appeared vaguely in the thick fog.

Look at its appearance,

It's actually a city!

Lu San I felt the hairs on my back stand on end.

Wu Ba next to him was so frightened that he lay on the ground, grabbing the dirt and leaves with both hands and burying his head.

This is their tribal experience.

Although he is a mandrill, a half-human and half-demon creature.

But in a place like Shennongjia, you will still encounter many horrible and strange things that are difficult to understand. The best way is to pretend not to see them.

Many ways to avoid taboos are based on this principle.

For example, if a mortal is unlucky enough to encounter a ghost and still sees it, the best way is to turn a blind eye, let alone look at it.

But Lu San doesn't care about this.

He Hidden Strength exploded, jumped up, jumped out of the forest, and ran towards the lake.

The ghost mist in the lake seemed to be stimulated by something and was spreading rapidly towards them.

Lu San revealed his hiding place, but the people left behind by the tomb robbers did not see it at all, because their eyes were wide open and their faces were filled with fear.

Strange fog, will-o'-wisps, city shadows...

Even these mortals can see it.

Before they could react, they were instantly submerged in the thick fog.

And Lu San has come to the water's edge, pinching Mystical Gestures, muttering incessantly, and slapping the water frantically.

The ghostly mist in front of him gave him the feeling of being attacked by evil soldiers.

He wants to summon all the fish and shrimp nearby to help Li Yan escape from trouble.

However, it was also too late.

The thick white ghost fog quickly surged to the shore like a tide. When it almost approached the river bank, it quickly retreated like a tide.

Lu San looked gloomy and stopped.

On the lake, the tomb robbers had disappeared without a trace, leaving only a dozen empty boats swaying with the waves.

Lu San has hearing Divine Ability, and can not only listen to the language of birds and animals.

He has extraordinary hearing, and he also heard the direction of Li Yan paddling just now, but now it was empty...

"A vicious place!"

Lu San looked solemn and frowned.

When we were on the lake before, we heard the servants of the Shen family say that Liangzi Lake was taboo, but neither he nor Li Yan took it to heart.

The great thing is that water ghosts are causing trouble, and you have to kneel down when you encounter them.

But I didn't expect it to be a dangerous place.

There are two evil energies flowing between heaven and earth, which can not only form those Blessed Grotto-Heavens, but also evolve evil places.

To put it bluntly, this "ferocious place" is a kind of situation of heaven and earth. Whether it is formed congenitally or due to special reasons acquired, it can be regarded as a kind of creation of heaven and earth.

But Blessed Grotto-Heavens can practice, but the fierce place is fatal!

Li Yan and those people,

I'm afraid they were all involved in the evil place.

Thinking of this, Lu San became more and more anxious.

Wrong!

Suddenly, he remembered something.

Judging from the words of the Shen family servants, as long as they don't swim to the center of the lake on a rainy day, Guiwu will not attack.

But now, there must be a reason for taking the initiative to attack.

It's that "Wan Yan"!

Although the specific reason is unclear, Lu San is definitely related to it.

However, Lu San did not leave in a hurry. Instead, he gritted his teeth and looked towards the opposite side of the hillside.

He is confident that Li Yan will not die so easily.

When he summoned the fish and shrimp just now, he was disturbed again, and the sound came from that hillside.

Lu San gritted his teeth, went back and pulled Wu Ba away, took out the bone and loaded a magazine.

This Liangzi Lake has a master. All the fish and shrimps in the lake are controlled by something, and even his spells are not easy to use.

Under normal circumstances, Lu San doesn't want to cause trouble.

But this time, it made him really angry.

The two of them moved very fast, and soon entered the hillside. Lu San's ears kept trembling, listening to the movement, and peeling away the dead branches of the vines.

Soon, a stone shrine was revealed.

The shrine is old, mottled and blurry. There is no statue of Attendant, but a ranking with the words Spirit Tablet of the Black Head Great King.

Lu San directly pulled out Gu Duo, held the muzzle of the gun against the spiritual position, his eyes were gloomy, and he whispered in a low voice, "You have no shame, get out!"

Phew~

In an instant, Yin Wind was everywhere, wrapped in rain and broken leaves, swirling, and ten meters away, a rickety black shadow appeared.

"Roar!"

Wu Ba was covered in hair, protecting Lu San behind him and roaring at him.

Lu San que did not panic, he still held the muzzle of his gun against the memorial tablet and muttered about Superior Language.

The black shadow on the other side was silent for a moment and responded with the same Superior Language.

Lu San Listening, his eyes gradually became shocked...
