Purgatory

Chapter 25
By the pool.

Hong Tai's face was heavy, he slowly pulled up the silver net that was wrapping around Ning Yao.

When Ning Yao got closer and closer to the water surface and could be clearly seen by him, he saw that Ning Yao was in good health, and he breathed a sigh of relief in doubt.

At this time, he who had been pulling slowly, finally dared to use his strength.

"Whoa!"

When Ning Yao's slender gooseneck broke out of the water, and when she was breathing heavily, the two leaders of the Tongmai Realm who had previously seen the situation was not going well and retreated, went back and forth with a little embarrassment.

"Old Hong."

Xu Rui, the original owner of Yinwang, smiled and cupped his hands, and said with shame on his face: "I thought the giant dark anaconda would jump out and kill people, so I left in a hurry and forgot to say hello to you."

The man in the mask just laughed dryly without any explanation.

"You two are very clever."

With a half-smile, Hong Tai glanced at the two of them, and then his eyes fell on Ning Yao who was still in shock.

He stroked his chin, thought for a while and said, "Miss Ning, if you can tell me truthfully what you saw at the bottom of the pond. After I confirm that what you said is true, I will exchange you for my dark ghost. A character imprisoned by your seven great families."

"I can assure you that you will see your parents again with a clean body."

All eyes were on Ning Yao.

Ning Yao was fished out from the bottom of the pool, her black wet hair naturally fell down her fragrant shoulders, and because she was in a state of extreme rage, the slender blood vessels on her snow-white neck were very clear.

She was panting violently in the silver net, her wet and exquisite figure looked quite alluring.

The aggressive eyes of several dark ghost monks wandered back and forth on the most attractive parts of her body, making her feel unspeakably uncomfortable.

Hearing Hong Tai's reassurance, deep in her eyes, which still remained angry, showed hesitation.

"You know I'm going to ask for evidence, so please don't lie to me."

Hong Tai reminded with a smile.

Ning Yao gritted her teeth lightly, said the truth in a trembling voice, and said: "The giant dark anaconda you mentioned was nailed to death by this phoenix bone that pierced into the bottom of the pool, and its flesh and blood were eaten away, leaving only He Feng Bones like bones."

"The phoenix bone is still nailed to its head. That weird man... Ouyang Duanhai is also at the bottom of the pool, waiting for something against the phoenix bone."

"Besides him, Pang Jian is still alive, just huddled in the dark place at the bottom of the pool!"

Without any concealment, Ning Yao told everything she saw.

She is very clear that these people of the dark ghost have risked so much to wait until now, and they will never let it go.

In other words, these people from the dark ghost will eventually go down, and they can tell at a glance whether what she said is true or false.

as predicted.

After listening to her description, before Hong Tai started to speak, Jin Yang took a deep breath and shouted: "The skeleton of the giant dark anaconda is also an extremely precious spiritual material. If that giant dark anaconda is not the lowest level four , as long as it reaches level five, its huge bones will be worth a lot!"

"It's just Ouyang Duanhai's words..." Hong Tai's eyes brightened a little bit, and he nodded with a smile, "No matter how weird he becomes, his original level is still too low, and I should be able to take care of it."

"Let's do it this way!" Glancing at Xu Rui, Hong Tai ordered: "You are in the Meridian Realm, so you can stay underwater for a long time."

"It's up to you to go down to the pool first, and you don't have to sink to the bottom of the pool. As long as you can see the situation at the bottom of the pool, as this girl said, you can come up and tell us."

Xu Rui, who went back and forth, had bitterness written all over his face, and sighed, "I'll just arrange a subordinate."

"The pool is too deep. People who haven't reached the state of Tongmai can't hold their breath before they sink to the bottom of the pool." Hong Tai shook his head and insisted on letting him go down.

Jin Yang frowned and looked at him gloomyly.

Xu Rui, who secretly slandered, couldn't resist the two of them, so he had no choice but to sink into the pool and dive slowly.

……

Bottom of the pool.

Clinging to the dark place of the rock wall, Pang Jian, who had been watching the movement above, immediately saw Xu Rui's sinking, and found him looking around, silently observing the scene below.

The closer the area to the phoenix bone, the higher the brightness of the pool water, and vice versa.

Pang Jian, who was hiding in the dark, could see Xu Rui who was falling next to the phoenix bone, but Xu Rui couldn't see him.

Moreover, before Xu Rui completely sank to the bottom of the pool, he eagerly swam back to the surface.

Pang Jian knew that Xu Rui, who entered the water, must have known the situation at the bottom of the pool through Ning Yao, so he came here specifically to verify.

In the future, dark ghost powerhouses like Jin Yang will probably sink to the bottom of the pool one after another.

The phoenix bones, the humanoid monsters of unknown condition, and the strong dark ghosts who were about to enter in large numbers disturbed Pang Jian's state of mind and made him have to think carefully.

Whether to return to Shimen to evacuate from the Blackwater Pool, or continue to wait and see, became a choice he had to make.

Just when he was hesitating, he saw the phoenix bone piercing into the head of the giant python, and suddenly many dots of white light emerged, gathering like fireflies.

The humanoid monster who has been suffering for a long time, the deep red blood light in its eyes instantly lit up several degrees, like two blood lamps underwater.

"coming!"

Seeing the situation, Pang Jian, who wanted to evacuate, chose to take the risk and decided to stay and see.

He threw the cloth bag from Ning Yao's body to the stone path behind the stone gate, and then closed the stone gate slightly, leaving only an imperceptible stone gap.

After finishing all these, he held the dragon-pattern spear and waited for the change at the bottom of the pool.

He thought about it.

Once the situation was too bad, he immediately gave up his actions and sneaked here to use the stone path to escape.

……

on the water.

Xu Rui, who floated out with a "crash", took a few breaths, then waved and shouted at Hong Tai.

"That girl didn't lie, it was indeed as she said, the giant dark anaconda was assassinated by the phoenix bone!"

"At the bottom of the pool, there is only Ouyang Duanhai who has mutated. As for the boy named Pang Jian, I haven't seen him. He should be hiding in the dark."

Hong Tai's eyes lit up, he laughed heartily at Jinyang, and said, "It's not in vain for us to persevere until now!"

There was no smile on Jin Yang's face, but he looked at his gloved hand and said, "I hope everything goes well."

Hong Tai coughed twice, and said: "There shouldn't be any serious problems. We only need to deal with Ouyang Duanhai, and we can get the skeleton of the giant dark anaconda."

"you……"

He looked at the person wearing the mask, originally wanted to call him by his name, but suddenly remembered that Ning Yao was still at the side, and he had also made a promise, and said: "Those who have access to the pulse can stay underwater for a long time." , follow me to kill Ouyang Duanhai."

Glancing at the others, he frowned and said, "For the rest, let me patrol outside and pay attention to the situation inside and outside the valley."

The dark ghost entourage in the Qi Refining Realm immediately agreed loudly.

Accompanied by the sound of "Plop", Hong Tai, Jin Yang, and the man wearing the mask all the time, including Ning Yao who was trapped in the silver net, and the boa constrictor with black and white patterns all fell towards the black one after another. pool.

In the blink of an eye, on the edge of the black water pool, there were only a group of Qi Refining practitioners left.

……

"A giant dark anaconda from the fifth realm was stabbed to death by a phoenix bone from Tianfeng. Obviously, the phoenix bone that selected the target will condense the marrow with the flesh and blood of the giant dark anaconda."

The mysterious woman who was hiding in the dark, even Hong Tai didn't notice, looked at the pool and said quietly.

"The idiots of this group of dark ghosts have never thought about why there is a giant dark anaconda in this place where the birds don't shit?"

"Can't you see that the giant dark anaconda is imprisoned in the black water pool? They really haven't thought about how terrifying it is to be able to capture the giant dark anaconda from the fifth world of eternal darkness?"

She whispered softly, and gave her will in her heart.

"Hoo! Hoo hoo!"

Many "spirits" refined by her sneaked close to the grass, approaching the black water pool without anyone noticing, and then suddenly pounced on the dark ghost practitioners who stayed outside.

None of the dark ghost practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm can escape, and they are all possessed by those "spiritual evil spirits".

In a very short period of time, the eyes of all the dark ghost practitioners in the Qi Refining Realm became blank, and they stood by the pool like dead objects, and did not continue to talk.

The beautiful figure of the woman who has been hidden for a long time is surrounded by hazy blood mist, and floats gracefully to the part where the phoenix bone protrudes from the water.

She lightly stepped on the bones of the phoenix, overlooking the pool below from a high place, watching the figures of Hong Tai and the others gradually fade away.

With a powerful existence like her, she couldn't see clearly the scene at the bottom of the pool, and she didn't rush to drive the dark ghost monks who were possessed by "spiritual evil spirits" down, but waited patiently.

She is not afraid of Ouyang Duanhai whose heart has been corrupted by the phoenix marrow, Hong Tai who is in the marrow washing state, and the new phoenix marrow that is about to be condensed.

The reason why she didn't dare to act rashly was because she wasn't sure if the real master who captured the giant dark anaconda and "raised" it in the black water pool was still there.

……

"finally come!"

Pang Jian, who was in the dark at the bottom of the pool, looked at Xu Rui who had just arrived, as well as Jin Yang and the man wearing the mask, including Hong Tai who was chasing and killing Zhou Qingchen, who appeared one by one.

When he saw Hong Tai again, he felt a little sorry for Zhou Qingchen. He felt that this good-mannered son of the Zhou family was probably killed by Hong Tai.

"If I can survive, and if there is a chance in the future, I will kill all the dark ghost monks involved in this matter."

Just like Zhou Qingchen, Pang Jian secretly swore an oath in the cold pool.

He hasn't had much contact with people, and he has been hunting in the mountains all these years, exchanging prey for daily necessities for his brother and sister to survive.

After the sudden change in the Cenji Mountains, he was "invited" by Ning Yao with a bag of broken silver. Of all the family children he met, no one looked at him seriously, and no one regarded him as an equal... Come and see.

——Only the son of the Zhou family.

Although Zhou Qingchen also had selfish intentions, he always treated him with courtesy, and offered an olive branch early on, expressing his willingness to accept him to the Zhou family, and even insisted on his own opinion when he showed that his talent was not good.

For him, Zhou Qingchen was also willing to give up the spiritual materials that might exist in the "uncertain ferry" to help the gray ape regain freedom.

Pang Jian, who has clear grievances and grievances, is the only person who really recognizes Zhou Qingchen in this exploration operation in the Cenji Mountains.

He thought, since Mr. Zhou had been killed, all he could do was to avenge him in the future.

Now, he doesn't think he has such ability.

While thinking about it, Pang Jian, who was observing the fallen man, noticed Jin Yang, who had a high status, and suddenly looked at the bottom of the phoenix bone, paying attention to the shining white spots inside the bone.

Jin Yang seemed to have thought of something, his face was suddenly filled with ecstasy and an unbelievable expression.

Before sinking to the bottom of the pond, Jin Yang pointed at the humanoid monster and signaled Hong Tai and the other two to help him kill it.

This dark ghost strongman with extraordinary background seems to know that the phoenix bone will change, and also recognized the origin of those mysterious light spots.

Under Jin Yang's constant gestures, Hong Tai and the two leaders, of course, also saw Jin Yang's intentions.

They were a little hesitant, wondering whether to attack Ouyang Duanhai immediately, but they saw that Jinyang had already rushed towards the lower end of the phoenix bone.

Standing still for a long time without moving, Ouyang Duanhai, who had been waiting for the phoenix marrow to form, instantly froze on Jinyang with his blood-red pupils.

He rushed towards Jinyang suddenly.

It seems that whoever dares to touch the phoenix marrow will immediately let him die first.
