Dark red mucus spread on the lotus platform, running out of blood lines along the ravines between the petals of the lotus platform, and the fishy smell went straight to the back of Lin Xixue's head.
Although she had seen countless amounts of blood, when she smelled this smell, she still couldn't help but cover her mouth and nose and frowned tightly.
She threw aside the half piece of skin picked up by the scabbard, flicked the scabbard several times in disgust, then took out the handkerchief and wiped it repeatedly, fearing that even half of the filth would remain.
But the lotus table seemed to have seen some delicacies, swallowing and sucking excitedly, and soon sucked in all the mucus.
There was some weird pulsing in the roots, which sounded like a dull heartbeat.
Along with this weird pulsation, she felt as if the mountain beneath her feet suddenly softened. Instead of the rock's original hard and solid touch, it felt like she was stepping on the skin of some giant creature.
No, it doesn't necessarily mean that the rocks have become soft. When a person is in a trance, his steps may also give the illusion that the ground has become soft.
Maybe the fishy smell was too strong, which made me a little unsteady on my feet.
In order to further verify the conclusion, she leaned down, stretched out her fingers, and pressed the ground hard. She saw that the ground made a deep depression at first, but soon began to slowly rebound and recover.
Although this is still very different from the skin of real living creatures, it already has the characteristics of certain biological skins, which is extremely weird.
Could it be that this entire mountain is part of some weird creature? This lotus platform is actually the organ used by this creature to eat, similar to a human mouth?
She suddenly had such a strange idea.
When she thought of this, she felt a little frightened in her heart and instinctively wanted to leave here.
But she immediately woke up. If she wanted to kill the monster Tianzun in the future, she might encounter something weirder. If she didn't dare to face this weird thing now, how could she move on in the future?
She mustered up her courage and pulled out a piece of gravel from the ground with a knife. She picked it up and observed it happily, and found some fine rust-colored lines in it.
Hmm. If hematite is mixed in the rock, it will indeed form this rust-colored pattern on the cut surface.
But the texture was so finely distributed that she unconsciously thought of the nerves and blood vessels of living things.
However, while she was studying the piece of stone she had cut out in her hand, the gap she had cut on the ground also underwent strange changes.
In addition to the fine, rust-colored lines, the cuts on the ground were actually leaking out a clear yellow liquid at this moment.
It was like the plasma separated from a centrifuge that she had seen in her previous life.
The liquid evenly covered the gap and quickly solidified, forming a hard film, as if the mountain's wound had scabbed over.
She couldn't help but feel nervous. All signs pointed to one answer - this mountain was indeed a huge unknown creature.
So what part of this creature is this lotus platform? Is it really the mouth of this creature?
If it is the mouth of this creature, why does the ritual of transforming Taoist soldiers have to be performed on the mouth of this creature?
Where are the roots of this lotus platform connected to?
She released her consciousness and probed all the way down along the roots, but the end of the roots was far beyond the coverage of her consciousness.
Just when she was about to withdraw her consciousness, she suddenly heard some kind of sharp cry coming up from the roots, but the sound was somewhat similar to the cry of a noisy child in her previous life.
Before she had time to think about it, the mountain beneath her feet stretched like muscles and enveloped her in an instant, seeming to swallow her alive into the ground.
Seeing this scene, a bright light suddenly flashed in her mind, and an inexplicable sense of déjà vu arose, as if she had seen this scene before somewhere.
But now was not the time to think about these issues. She tapped her toes and tried to leap into the air, but at this time the rock under her feet became softer, directly taking away the strength of her kicking.
Her foot seemed to have stepped on cotton. Not only could she not jump up, but her entire foot sank into the ground, and the rock directly wrapped around her ankle.
With a thought in her mind, the jade book flew up, pulling her out of the rock and quickly flying out of the cave.
But this rock mass seemed to have been anticipated. A moment of twisting blocked the entrance of the cave, and the roots under the lotus platform also took this opportunity to suddenly pull out of the rock and sweep towards Linxi Xue.
Lin Xixue Ling stepped forward in the air and drew her knife to slash at the tentacles behind her. However, she heard a "clang" sound, green sparks exploded, and the horizontal knife in her hand was bounced away, almost falling out of her hand.
However, she did not resist the force of the shock. Instead, she took advantage of the situation and threw the knife. She switched to her left hand and spun in the air like a diabolo. She returned her hand and slashed again. The original force of the shock was actually struck by her.
It turned into a boost for the next slash.
However, even so, Diguang Duanye could only cut through three or four points of this root.
The tendril seemed to be in pain and retracted suddenly. Lin Xixue felt a huge force coming from the handle of the knife, pulling her to drill into the ground.
She was extremely conflicted for a moment, let go, the knife was gone, don't let go, it would be more dangerous to be pulled into the rock.
She quickly activated the jade book, and the two sides started wrestling in the air, using the medium of splitting the light to break the night.
But the power of this tendril is too great. Lin Xixue had already used this jade book when she used it to escape the pursuit of a group of high-level practitioners. Now that she was using it with all her strength, it quickly overloaded her and caused her nose to bleed.
It flowed down again.
She understood that the longer the battle dragged on, the more disadvantageous it would be to her, so she made a decisive decision and held the magic sword in her right hand.
But the moment she condensed the magic sword, the Sanqing mask peeled off her face, and her figure suddenly returned to its original appearance, as if the two were repelling each other.
She put the mask into the void, the black halo on her back circulated rapidly, the black wings moved automatically without wind, and the black feathers drifted all over the sky.
She pushed the magic sword to the extreme, swung it with a wave of her hand, and the root was broken in response.
Clear and transparent earthy yellow juice flows out from the cut surface of the thick roots, and the thick flesh is as attractive as octopus tentacles.
Lin Xixue was so greedy that she couldn't stop salivating from her mouth. The hunger that she had selectively ignored for a long time was instantly ignited by this hair.
Before she had time to think, her body's instinct had already made her choice. She pulled up the severed roots and put them into the void, then turned around and cut open the blocked entrance, and quickly left the heart of the mountain.
At this moment, the mask of Sanqing had fallen off, and her whole body was covered in blood. It was hard for her to return to Sanyuan Temple, so she had to flee to the deep forest where there was no one.
After confirming that the surroundings were safe, she took back the jade book and confirmed her own situation.
The full use of the jade book and magic sword this time really put a lot of burden on her. Judging from the appearance alone, she was afraid that she had lost another three or four years of her life.
I don’t know how to find a way to increase Yangshou, so why not ask Bai Qing if she has any relevant clues.
However, when she thought of Bai Qing, her pupils shrank suddenly.
She remembered where the inexplicable sense of déjà vu had come from in the heart of the mountain.
