Cultivating immortals and destroying the world is their duty

Chapter 76 Ghost Brain Mushroom and Guardian

This time, Zhaotai rarely went to strike up a conversation with Jasmine, but walked over leisurely and said hello to the two standing behind Jasmine.

"Did you find Nanshan?" Zhaotai asked Dongli while walking around the thick lamp post in the middle of the main ship.

"No, I was delayed by a group of aliens for a long time... Now, I can't track her breath..."

Dongli spoke casually, but his heart was full of thoughts. For the first time in his life, he felt an inexplicable uneasiness, just as he lost contact with Bai Miao and Bai Xiaohua not long after he arrived in the underworld. Now his powerful tracking Both the technique and the eye of spiritual silence seemed to be out of order and could not be used.

Qingyue ridiculed him because he was too greedy and lost his soul. He heard that he immediately wanted to kill the Quartet - what he had was the first generation of soul!Is it such a child's play?
He still remembered that Nanshan and Jasmine had encountered a resentful spirit in the big city not long ago. According to Jasmine, there was a protective barrier around the big city. It's boring... Jasmine analyzed: Since there are resentful spirits appearing in the big city, it means that the protective barrier may have been damaged, or the protective power has weakened after tens of thousands of years.

However, Dong Li's divine power is being suppressed more and more by this gradually weakening barrier at this moment, he can't help laughing at himself, is it true that the former self really makes Gan Ye so afraid?
"Brother Dongli, don't worry, the disappearance of Miss Nanshan and your two classmates should be inextricably linked to a series of recent changes in the underworld. But since I have already stepped in with one foot, I will definitely not hesitate...Hey, brother Dongli, don't go..."

Zhaotai was stroking his chin at first, and he was very confident in his analysis. Who knows, when he looked up, he found that Dongli hadn't been listening to him at all just now. There was a loud noise, which aroused his curiosity, and he turned to look for Ning Sha, only to find that he was still clumsily studying the railing at the stern, as if he was thinking about whether he should jump over or crawl over with his head bowed.

"Don't look, can you hurry up? I'll go up first, and you will follow me later." Zhaotai yelled at Ningsha, and Tiankui and Jasmine who were talking at the side turned their heads to look at them.

Zhaotai nodded slightly, as a greeting to the two of them, and immediately turned back and jumped onto the upper deck.

There were already many familiar figures on the deck. Several of them were experienced old boatmen from the Water Affairs Department. Zhaotai felt relieved. In their eyes, it is simply making a fuss out of a molehill.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the strange roll of equipment in Yao She's hand, it was a bunch of ordinary-looking hard measuring tape, and there was a pile of earthy brown hemp rope at Yao She's feet.

Yao She is really old, but his hands are very dexterous. He picked out the end of the measuring tape and tied it with the hemp rope. The measuring tape stretched and became like a long white bamboo pole. Qingyue had secretly Laughing out loud, he poked Dongli beside him with his elbow, and whispered: "Look at the old man's posture, he wants to fish..."

Dongli ignored him, and watched Yao She's operation on his own, only to see him throwing the roll of hard ruler into the river with a wave of his hand.

The tape measure was heavy, and it sank soon after entering the water. The hemp ropes gave off a dark green light in the river water. These hemp ropes were specially made from the juice of plants transformed from the resentment of the underworld, so naturally they would not be afraid of the resentment in the river , on the contrary, with the direction of the tape measure, the hemp rope followed quickly, like a nimble water snake, going deep into the deeper river bottom.

Originally, the water of the Aglon River was sometimes clear and sometimes turbid, but now wherever the tape measure passes, the river water appears transparent and clear. Two old boatmen immediately turned the huge lampposts to this side, reflecting the river water like a mirror. .

"The hundred-foot ruler is really useful!" Yao She said with a relaxed expression, pointing at the river with excitement.

Zhaotai pushed those who blocked his sight to the side a few times, and finally stood behind Yao She, he said in surprise: "Master Yao, are you not afraid of those wraiths in the river climbing up the rope?"

Yao She was not surprised when he saw that it was Zhaotai, and he saluted and explained: "Bailuochi is the magic weapon of Lord Tiankui. I don't know how many evil spirits and evil spirits he has conquered over the years. Those under the water are a group of bullying little guys. If it’s too late to hide, how dare you approach?”

"Oh……"

"What we need is to wait patiently," Yao She stepped aside, letting Zhaotai follow his direction to look at the water surface, "Look, Mr. Pluto, that's where the Kuroshio gathers most..."

"It's too quiet, abnormal, strange..." Zhaotai shook his head.

"That's right. In the past, the ordinary tide of resentment was enough for our Water Affairs Department to work up and down for several months. This time, the black tide appeared, but it was so silent..." Yao She looked up at the sky and let out a long sigh.

While talking, there was a splash of water in the river, and then, a long series of whale-like cries came out from the deep water, and Yao She felt the master plate of the patriarch in his hand vibrate three times—this is The ruler hit something at the bottom of the water!
The water split open, and an extremely ugly half-man, half-fish suddenly rushed out of the water. Its long tail was covered with rotten flesh, its face was blue-faced with fangs, and its face was sunken in many places. It was incomplete, it stood on the tide with its fish tail upright, and when it saw the giant ship towering like a building in front of it, it showed no fear, instead a sneer appeared on the corner of its mouth.

At the same time, Yao She and the others on the bow subconsciously took a few steps back, because as this strange mermaid flew out of the water, an unbearable stench filled the air above the Agron River. It was almost like the stench that squeezed all the rotten things in the world into one place. Two old boatmen couldn't stand the smell for a while, so they fell back on the spot and passed out.

Yao She was so startled that both eyeballs swelled up, and the hands holding the master plate trembled slightly. He was closest to the bow, and saw the strange mermaid opened its big mouth full of sharp teeth, and spit out a mouthful of blue-yellow The poisonous gas came straight towards Yao She.

"Master Yao! Back quickly!" Zhaotai yelled, pointed with one hand, and a powerful wave of air swirled towards the direction of the strange mermaid.

However, the weird mermaid reacted very quickly, shutting his mouth immediately, shrunk his body like a leech, and raised a water wall with his tail to block the air wave from Zhaotai, the weird mermaid showed another evil smile, and then The water wall rose higher and higher, almost reaching the height of the main ship's mast.

Dongli's pupils shrank, and he yelled, "Zhaotai! This bastard wants to destroy our big ship!"

Looking up at the wall of water that seemed to be connected to the sky, Zhaotai's palms snapped together and opened, and the divine weapon "Royal Soul" emerged from his palms. The golden light, after the light scattered, the entire ship was covered by this layer of glare, forming a giant golden protective outer wall.

Zhaotai crossed the piccolo lightly, and played a sad and long piece of music. At this time, Ning Cha had also arrived behind him, and in his hand was an extra guqin with a unique shape. There are two strings of different thicknesses. Ning Sha didn't wait for Zhaotai's order, and immediately hung the piano in front of his body. His fingers skillfully stroked those strings, and then there was a burst of melodious piano sound that perfectly matched the sound of the flute. Everyone was shocked.

It is not that none of them have heard the piano sound that often comes out of the Nether Palace, but they have never thought that such a beautiful music can have such a lethal effect.

The sound of the piano and the flute seemed to turn into countless tangible sharp arrows, which spun crazily and shot through the water wall of the strange mermaid densely like a torrential rain.

The face of the merman fish changed, and with a loud roar, its giant empty eyes suddenly exploded with fierce light, and the surrounding river surged with huge waves, forming a palm that was bigger than one, catching those sharp arrow tips with claws and teeth. .

Although the fight was fierce, Qingyue didn't panic at all, and even closed his eyes to enjoy the beautiful music.

Dong Li frowned, and an extremely uncomfortable sense of restraint spread from the soles of his feet to his whole body since just now. He looked at the leisurely Qingyue beside him, and wondered in his heart: "Why is he not affected at all... but me……"

The strange mermaid finally became a little restless amidst the sound of the flute and the zither. After being hit by several arrows in its body, it was heartbroken, and it turned around to face the water, terrified of the risk of its back being instantly shredded into a sieve. Going down, the huge fish tail slapped the water surface, and for a while the sharp arrows formed by the noise did not enter the water spray, and the strange mermaid took advantage of this gap to speed up its swimming speed and burrowed into the dense aquatic plants at the bottom of the river. disappeared.

And at the moment when the strange mermaid slipped into the aquatic plants, the thing that Bailuochi touched was exposed from the gaps in the aquatic plants. The river was turbulent, but it was still crystal clear, and many pairs of eyes on the boat saw it at that moment. White columnar objects between aquatic plants...

"Ghost-brain mushroom! It's a ghost-brain mushroom!"

Yao She was the first to call out, his eyes were wide open, and the old boatmen and cruise officials from the Department of Water Affairs also broke out in cold sweat, opened their mouths wide, and looked at each other in dismay.

"Oh? Ghost brain mushroom...it's more interesting now..."

Qing Yue, who had been enjoying the music with his eyes closed while the wind was blowing, slowly opened his eyes at this time, and cast his gaze on the water surface with interest.
