Facing this strange "creature" that suddenly appeared and even showed aggression, Chang Mo couldn't help but be secretly frightened.
Although the sword strike just now was made in a hurry, it was definitely powerful. An ordinary middle-level swordsman would never be struck by a sword so easily.
However, looking at it now, it turns out that the thing didn't hurt at all.
"It's hard to say, even hard to say whether it's alive or not."
As a demigod, Fu Qian frowned and looked at him at this moment.
From such a close distance, the body structure of the thing can be seen clearly. It really does not feel like a flesh-and-blood creature, just like a child's handiwork.
However, the aggression just now and now is real.
Seeing this crystal worm-like thing balling up its body and preparing to pounce, Fu Qian looked over Chang Mo and stretched out his hand to grab it.
The crystal worm's forward momentum was instantly blocked by him and pinned down in his hand.
Click... click...
A sharp friction sound was heard, and Fu Qian exerted force on his hands, causing the crystal worm to struggle even more fiercely.
Wow!
Realizing the opponent's exaggerated hardness, Fu Qian united his body and sword again and struck forward.
This time it finally worked.
A shower of shiny crystal fragments flew out.
The severely injured crystal insect was shaken all over, and it suddenly rolled out of Fu Qian's hand.
clang!
Chang Mo, who had been paying attention to the movements here, took action almost at the same time.
The sword was as fast as lightning and hit the target again without any damage.
And with the force of this recoil, the crystal worm rolled away at an incredible speed until it disappeared behind the door at the end.
"how so?"
Chang Mo, who used ten of his powers, stayed on the spot for a while, doubting his life while talking to himself.
"Man and sword become one."
Seeing that this man was severely hit physically and mentally, Fu Qian raised his left hand, and under the complicated look in his eyes, he took the lead and chased after him.
"teacher."
Ji Liushuang did not abandon his guardian and immediately came to Chang Mo's side.
"Go and have a look."
Chang Mo signaled that he was fine and gritted his teeth.
Although the scene before me seems to have nothing to do with the troubles the Kamakura family is encountering.
But this incomprehensible situation, I'm afraid I won't be able to sleep at night if I don't understand it.
…
"There...is a pool down here?"
Chang Mo and Ji Liushuang couldn't help but marvel at the sight that appeared in front of them as they passed through the stone gate immediately after Fu Qian.
It is completely different from the previous halls. There is obviously a dug pool inside the door.
A square that is not too big and has a good depth.
At a glance, there are dense stone pillars reaching from the bottom of the pool to the ceiling.
At this moment, in the pool, one can vaguely see the extremely clear water and the smooth bottom of the pool.
Thousands of years of time seem to have not brought a trace of dust here.
"this……"
Chang Mo quickly came to his senses and quickly looked around at the steps around the pool.
Due to the small area, the surroundings can be seen clearly, but at a glance, there is no shadow of crystal worms anywhere.
"Jumped in?"
Chang Mo began to use his modest physics knowledge.
"That thing is transparent. It can be merged into one body immediately after jumping into the water. It is really difficult to find it when it is not moving."
The next moment she sighed and looked at Fu Qian.
"Although it's very special, should we go back first?"
"You can come back here anytime, but the Kamakura family is dying."
"Theoretically, we can come back at any time only after they die."
Fu Qian shook his head and directly reached out and pulled out Ji Liushuang's sword.
Ji Liushuang was a little surprised, but in the end he had no objection and allowed Fu Qian to take away his weapon.
The next moment, under the confused gazes of the two people, Fu Qian raised his right hand and threw the weapon directly towards the center of the pool.
clang!
A crisp impact sound followed.
No, you can find it all!
This sound made Chang Mo's scalp explode.
From her perspective, she couldn't detect anything unusual there.
Is this the difference between you and demigods?
By the way, is that insect too stupid to dive deeper——
While complaining, the next scene in front of him interrupted Chang Mo's train of thought.
The uninjured insect jumped out of the water. Instead, a spiderweb-like crack appeared centered on the location where the long sword was stabbed, and it was even expanding at an extremely rapid rate.
what's the situation……
Amidst the dense crackling sounds like raindrops, Ji Chang and the two of them were dumbfounded.
In just a few seconds, the cracks had already spread to the feet.
"This is not water..."
Ji Liushuang couldn't help but exclaimed when she reacted.
"Of course this is not water!"
He snorted before paying.
"As a swordsman, how can you be deceived by appearances?"
…
There is no doubt that these words are harsh, but now is not the time to feel ashamed.
Chang Mo stared at the rapidly changing pool in front of him and knew why he hadn't found the crystal worm just now.
It's not something hidden in the water at all. The entire pool is filled with crystals similar to that thing.
It's just that they are combined in an unimaginable way, without any gaps in between, and ultimately behave like a pool of water without ripples.
At this moment, as cracks quickly covered the entire pool, countless transparent crystals began to flow and squirm, as if everything came to life.
However, they did not divide into hundreds or thousands of insects, but remained as a whole, with the surface rolling like waves, and even crystal tentacles protruding out.
The sound produced by the collision of crystals was crisp and even rhythmic, making me feel as if I had entered a mahjong parlor.
"What should I do? I'm afraid this thing is hard to kill."
Seeing the crystal wave climbing to his feet, Chang Mo couldn't help but worry for a moment.
The hardness of the crystal worm just now was still fresh in her mind. Even if the demigod's "body and sword merged into one", it was only a cut.
She couldn't think of any way to deal with this kind of thing down here.
"Why kill?"
In response to her, it was Fu Qian who asked in confusion.
"Aren't you an investigation team? You are not greedy adventurers. Why are you so cruel?"
…
Seeing Fu Qian's soul questioning, Chang Mo was speechless for a moment. Ji Liushuang spent a lot of effort to control the smile on his face.
"What should we do? Let's wait for the others to come over?"
She asked softly the next moment.
"Interesting discoveries naturally have to be shared with everyone, but there's no need to wait, they're already here."
Looking at the gorgeous "pool water" where the action gradually became more intense, Fu Qian motioned to Ji Liushuang to pull Chang Mo back.
I just made a lot of noise, and the chance of not being noticed is still very small.
As for the Kamakura people who are quite familiar with this ruins, it is obviously not that difficult to find them.
At this moment, several familiar scents appeared in the corridor outside.
