Lu Qing looked at the glass bottle handed over by the scientist. If she were an anime character, her head would be filled with question marks at this time.
What's the use of holding a glass bottle underwater? When the lid is opened, won't water get into the glass bottle?
"..."
The scientist seemed to have noticed this, and suddenly scratched his head in embarrassment. He just subconsciously thought of using a glass bottle to hold the thing in front of him, but forgot that they were still underwater at this time.
"Anyway, let's try it first." Lu Qing thought as she looked at the glass bottle in her hand.
Pulling off the stopper on the glass bottle, as expected, a large amount of groundwater poured into the bottle, filling it up.
Lu Qing put the glass bottle in front of Black Miasma, but there was no reaction.
"..."
Frowning, Lu Qing took the glass bottle back and looked at the black miasma in front of her with some reluctance.
Although she didn't intend to absorb this thing, she didn't want to leave it here either. After all, it was a trophy that she had finally obtained, so it would always feel a pity to just throw it here.
"By the way, why don't you try this..."
Suddenly, Lu Qing thought of something. She separated a little of the energy in her body, poured it into a glass bottle, and brought it to the side of Black Miasma.
As if it sensed something, the black miasma condensed on the head-splitting body suddenly started to squirm, as if it was attracted by a magnet, and it took the initiative to get into the glass bottle.
"Sure enough it's possible!"
Lu Qing's face was filled with joy. After all the black miasma poured into the glass bottle, he plugged the mouth of the glass bottle.
"alright!"
Holding the glass bottle in front of you, what is revealed under the transparent glass is a deep darkness, like a mist hiding all kinds of secrets, which makes people unable to help but fall into it.
Lu Qing hung the glass bottle on her waist. Although she was wearing a backpack, the backpack was completely closed. If she opened it now, the inside would be flooded with water, so she could only hang the glass bottle on her waist.
On the body.
After getting rid of the Black Mist Headsplitter, the three of them continued to move forward. Although many obstacles appeared on the way, it did not take much time to clear these obstacles, and the few of them soon went deep into the tunnel.
Continuing to move forward, an unexpected creature appeared in front of several people.
It was a creature that could barely be seen as humanoid. It was buried in a piece of collapsed rubble, and its body was covered with thick white liquid.
This wall looked like it had just collapsed, and there was no rust on the fallen steel bars.
As if he sensed someone coming, he slowly raised his head, revealing an inhuman face.
"Who are you!?"
As if waking up from a nightmare, some strange male voices came from the other party's throat. Lu Qing saw that there seemed to be some structures similar to fish gills growing on his body. This seemed to be the reason why he could survive underwater.
.
This man must have been transformed by Black Water. In a sense, he was lucky because he was not killed by Black Water, but he was unfortunate and turned into the monster he is today.
"We are just ordinary people passing by here." After thinking about it, Lu Qing's lips squirmed under the respirator.
The man actually heard Lu Qing's voice. He suddenly laughed twice and said, "Did you come out of there?"
"I guess you want to leave through this tunnel..."
"Hehehe... give up, do you know why this tunnel has not been completely closed by tree roots until now?"
"Because this forest doesn't care. Outside this tunnel, it has been surrounded by trees. You have no way to escape. Ahem..."
The man coughed violently. He swung his sticky limbs and tried desperately to stand up from the ground, but found that no matter how hard he tried, he could not get up.
It was as if something was stuck to the ground on his chest, making him unable to straighten up.
The viscous white liquid was flowing on his body. If Lu Qing could describe it, the man in front of him seemed to have turned into a snail, and all the flesh and blood in his body were constantly transforming into a snail's body.
It softens, becomes viscous, and secretes a white liquid similar to the roots of trees in a dark forest...
"Ah, my head hurts so much..."
The man covered his head in pain. If you look closely, you will find that there is a small black hole on the man's forehead.
"My, little ball..."
The man stretched out his left hand, inserted his fingers into the small hole in his forehead, and kept tightening it, as if he was looking for something inside. A colorless viscous liquid flowed from his fingers, and it looked like
Extremely disgusting.
"Hahaha, my little ball, where are you?"
The man laughed strangely twice, suddenly twitched his whole body, dug out a yellow bullet, and then stopped all movements, seemingly dead.
"...."
"It's really hard to understand." Lu Qing could only sigh, and then continued moving forward with the scientist and the old man.
"..."
The atmosphere in the team has become a bit depressing. Although it was a bit depressing before, it is far from the level it is now.
This has something to do with meeting the snail man just now. Seeing the same kind of person become like that, no matter how big-hearted a person is, it is impossible to pretend that nothing is wrong.
And another reason is probably related to the information the other party said before he died.
"Is the outside of the tunnel also blocked by trees..."
As she muttered Snail Man's last words before his death, Lu Qing was not actually that surprised.
After all, she still has one less to complete her secondary goal [participate in the Hades (Harmony) Marriage]. In addition, the King of the Head Splitter, the target of Kindred Seal, has not been seen or heard before, so she just went out.
It's really unreasonable.
But she knew that it didn't mean that the scientists and the old man also knew that after learning that the outside of the tunnel was also surrounded by tree walls, they would inevitably feel depressed.
Thinking of this, Lu Qing raised her voice so that the sound could reach the ears of the two people and said: "At least we are close to the periphery, right?"
"..."
Silence, after all, we are underwater, and the old man and the scientist can't say anything.
Lu Qing can only do this, and hopes that the two of them can recover as soon as possible.
Continuing to move forward, it seems that the obstacles in front of them have been cleared by someone. If Lu Qing guessed correctly, the person who cleared them was the snail person in front of them. They just walked on the path that person walked.
As for why the other party came to the tunnel, it was not clear. She guessed that maybe it was because there was something scary on the other side of the tunnel.
If that's the case, what kind of thing would make people prefer to enter the interior of the forest rather than stay on the outskirts of the forest?
