Lu Li's eyes fell on the red light scattered on his body, and he muttered in a low voice.
There is no response, as it says, it is just the imprint it leaves in advance.
A few seconds after the whisper of the Mother of the Old Swamp disappeared, the red light began to fade away, and the next red light not far away stood out, exuding an evil light.
Without any hesitation, Lu Li, who had no way out, could only continue to approach the trap.
The one who accepts me is the Old Swamp Mother. Does this mean that the Swamp Mother who cooperates with me is at a disadvantage in the confrontation?
Bathed in the blood light, Lu Li continued to listen to the whispers of the Swamp Mother.
[How can an ant-like existence be noticed by the great consciousness... Human beings who are called thieves and betrayers, your fate will be the same as that of thieves, and you will become your sacrifice to the great existence. Please continue to pay tribute to
Before...there, the end of life and soul awaits you.]
The spilled blood couldn't wait to dim, and the mother of the old swamp that Tu Qiongdiao saw no longer needed to lure Lu Li deeper.
Lu Li could only move forward, as another annual ring abyss lay in front of him. As he approached, Lu Li's sanity counter rang.
After crossing the abyss, Lu Li entered the blood light where the counter was recovering slowly.
But this time, the whispers of the Old Swamp Mother no longer sounded.
It doesn't need any more nonsense.
A new blood light lights up ahead, located at the edge of the annual ring abyss, while the old blood light dims at an accelerated rate.
Lu Li held the statue of Mother of the Swamp in his pocket, chanted silently, and continued to move forward.
The "end" prepared for him by the Mother of the Old Swamp may lie in the few red lights that are about to light up, but Lu Li has no choice.
Reaching the new blood light, the whispers still did not sound. Lu Li could only continue to move forward, crossing the abyss.
【Stop...】
Suddenly, a faint whisper rang in my mind.
Lu Li stopped. The red light accelerating behind him made the darkness quickly approach. He had to move forward to avoid being enveloped by the darkness, but the murmurs also disappeared.
Lu Li realized something and retreated to the dividing line between red light and darkness. This place was very close to the abyss, and the counter beeped frequently.
Before the Swamp Mother said anything, Lu Li said: "Darkness is invading, do you have any way to avoid it?"
[Take out the idol...]
Lu Li took out the statue from his pocket. This human statue representing human nature was now emitting a dark purple hazy mist.
The darkness that was about to envelope Lu Li stayed unwillingly, but the dark purple light was so dim that Lu Li could almost hear the whispers surging in the darkness and the invisible touches that seemed to brush against his body.
Not far away, a hazy red light lured Lu Li closer.
"What to do next?" Lu Li asked.
[Jump into the annual ring...it leads to the old mother's body...lift my seal...this is our only chance...]
"You told me to suppress it dozens of minutes ago. Now you are sealed by it, and we are the ones at a disadvantage."
The Mother of the Swamp murmured: [It is crazy...it is forcibly accepting power...it is very powerful...it is weak...I need...your help...]
Lu Li frowned, and as he approached the abyss, the counter began to sound faster: "The growth rings are devouring my sanity."
[If you do nothing... you will be devoured by life... and soul...]
The Swamp Mother was right. If he didn't enter the annual ring, Lu Li had the only option left to enter the red light.
As for leaving...
Lu Li turned around and looked behind him. Darkness obscured his direction.
Approaching the annual ring, Lu Li lowered his eyes and looked into the dark abyss: "How to get down?"
[Jump directly...]
"A dead person can't help you," Lu Li said.
【You will not die...】
With the assurance of the Swamp Mother, Lu Li no longer hesitated, deviated from the trajectory designed by the old Swamp Mother, grabbed the statue and jumped into the abyss.
The falling feeling only lasted a minute, and Lu Li's back and soles came into contact with the solid body.
It was not an unexpected straight fall. The extended slope made Lu Li feel like he had fallen into a slide and slid downwards. The sound of wind blew past his ears, and at this time, the whisper of the Mother of the Swamp slowly sounded.
[Maybe you will get some injuries...]
Hearing the follow-up, Lu Li remained silent and silently adjusted his posture and slowed down his descent, bending his legs to prevent bruises caused by sudden landing.
Ten meters, thirty meters, fifty meters.
Sliding rapidly, Lu Li's adjusted posture was suddenly frustrated by the winding landslide that was not straight. His shoulders hit the edge and his body was bounced away, turning him into a dangerous position with his head and feet in a dangerous position.
Lu Li only had time to adjust to lying on his side when the bottom suddenly appeared.
Bang——
The sound of landing and the muffled sound sounded at the same time. Lu Li rolled several times to reduce the force of his fall. The statue of the Swamp Mother slipped from his hand and rolled to the side of his head.
Snap——
The sound of an oil lamp breaking was heard not far away. Fortunately, the one that fell next to his head was not an oil lamp.
The dark purple mist illuminated a face showing pain.
The surroundings returned to silence, except for the chirping counter.
Lu Li slowly climbed up. The pain in his right shoulder, which was the first to touch the ground, was unbearable. This was not the worst.
I reached out and touched my abdomen. I felt a mixture of sharp pain and tearing sensation, and my fingertips were sticky and moist.
The wound is most likely cracked.
With no time to care about the wound, Lu Li picked up the statue and looked around.
The darkness above and around him was invisible, but in front of him, a spacious passage appeared in front of him.
The slowly dimming blood-red light made the wall made of irregular blocks look like irregular flesh and blood, as if Lu Li was inside the body of some kind of creature.
The air was filled with the smell of rotting wood, stronger than the smell in the detective agency.
"Where is this."
Lu Li asked as he found no danger.
[The body of the old mother...]
"Where are you sealed?"
[The head of the body...]
"My old mother is there too?"
[It is in the altar of the heart... it wants to make a sacrifice and take back the body... before it completes everything... rescue me...]
"But you can't beat it."
【So I need your help...】
Lu Li was noncommittal: "Let's give it a try, but rather than fighting against my old mother, I suggest choosing another path."
【What is it...】
"Send me or leave the swamp with me and find an exorcist for help."
[It’s too late...and I...don’t trust humans...]
"Lead the way, how should I go."
[Go forward...avoid the shining path...you will be sensed by the old mother...]
Looking at the entire area again, there are scattered fragments that cannot light up, either connected together or forming separate spots, just like rocks that can rest on magma.
"Besides, are there any other dangers here?" Lu Li asked as he walked along the dark path that did not emit light, observing his movements.
Lu Li didn't think that danger could only come from the environment.
Especially here is the shell of the old swamp mother.
[As long as you stay in the dark... you are safe...]
