At the beginning, I traveled through the wilderness, and I controlled the beasts to survive...

Chapter 199 Looking for Prey

The huge body of the egg cake hit the lake with a loud thud.

At the same time, the rich yellow light turned into a thick stone ball, opening the water curtain, cutting off a dry and waterless space enough for Han Ning to breathe.

As the egg cake slowly sank to the bottom of the lake, the surrounding light became dim.

Ahead, the light emitted from Yinyi and Egg Pan became the only sources of light in the dim environment.

The bottom space of the lake is not lifeless.

Han Ning saw many water spirit beasts and ordinary fish swimming by.

Dark green water plants drifted along with the undercurrents at the bottom of the lake.

Looking up, you can also see the sun shining on the water, forming a bright light and shadow through the lake.

For him, who came to the underwater world for the first time, all this was so novel.

Omelette paddles its thick limbs. Although it is not an aquatic creature, it can swim a long distance with each stroke thanks to the huge force brought by its strong body.

After a while, a huge shadow in the darkness appeared in the field of vision.

Han Ning could barely make out the shadows ahead, showing the outline of row upon row of houses.

This alone is shocking enough.

You know, this is at the bottom of a fifty-meter-deep lake.

When he got closer, the bright light emitted by the soul beast finally illuminated part of the building in front of him.

A high dark red wall surrounds the building inside.

Inside the wall, there are several houses that resemble the Gothic style of the previous life, but are somewhat different.

Under the dark bottom of the lake, the limited light source illuminates a towering and gloomy spire.

The largest house inside is seven stories high and covers an area of ​​at least a thousand square meters. The doors and windows are closed, and there is no trace of anything inside.

In the four directions outside the perimeter of the wall, a gully similar to an ancient moat separates this huge courtyard from the rest of the lake bottom.

Four long stone bridges were built over the ravine.

Perhaps because they are at the bottom of the lake, the surfaces of these buildings are covered with a layer of green algae, making them look dull and lifeless.

Faintly, there was a slightly weird atmosphere.

"Is this the relic left by the mysterious civilization? Or is it the residence of the legendary vampire?" Han Ning thought of vampire legends of horror, death and decadence.

"The style of these buildings is obviously built by humans..."

"This is simply...unbelievable." Han Ning murmured to himself, "Go in and take a look."

The egg pancake is too big. The huge body of more than 40 meters tall is half the body taller in front of this eerie building complex. A pair of huge dragon eyes are swaying in the darkness, making it look more like a terrifying lake monster.

This courtyard is too delicate, and its body obviously cannot be stuffed into it.

"Egg Pancake, go back first." In desperation, Han Ning had to take it back to the soul beast space first.

"Jiwu~" Omelet called out a little aggrievedly. It also wanted to go in and have a look, but its body was too big, so it had to go back.

He's already in the water, so the wall can't stop him.

Han Ning sat on the Storm Butterfly, and used Silver Ripple to control the water flow, draining away the surrounding lake water, and landed steadily in the courtyard from above.

Being in the courtyard is another special feeling.

The faint skylight falling on the water above, the dark building in front of you, and the clusters of slender water plants floating on the corners of the building form an absurd and bizarre picture.

"This building complex is connected to the mountain on the side of Biyou Lake. If you pass through the mountain, you should be able to enter the real misty valley." Han Ning looked at the large piece of red "glass" above the main building and murmured to himself,

"It looks like a religious place for worshiping or enshrining gods."

"Able to maintain a complete architectural form in water, these building materials used to build buildings are definitely not wood."

Han Ning saw the pillar with no signs of decay on the side and made a guess.

Go through the long corridor and arrive in front of the main building.

The main building is at least twenty meters high, with an overall shape of a rectangular parallelepiped, with bulging doors and windows, and a tall spire standing nearby.

The seemingly wooden door is covered with intricate patterns for decoration.

The window sill was covered with thick green algae, and it was hard to see what it was.

"babble……"

Standing in front of this rich-style main building, Feilin in Han Ning's arms looked at the strange patterns on the door. She frowned slightly, as if she was recalling something, and her face showed a thoughtful look that was different from her age.

"What's wrong?" Han Ning keenly felt Xiao Feilin's emotions and gently touched her back.

"Er..." Feilin came to her senses and shook her head, indicating that she was fine.

"Feilin seems to have a certain relationship with this weird civilization." He made an offensive gesture towards Yinyi.

Silver Ripples jumped out from the crowd, pulled out a water line, and swam to the gate.

Lift the vine and give it a light stroke.

squeak~

Han Ning seemed to hear the sound of wooden bearings rotating in a daze.

The door opened without any obstruction, revealing the dark space behind it.

Silver Ripple jumped in first, followed by the puppet ghost bees condensed by the Vientiane Spiritual Silkworms.

Han Ning thought that the spiritual light they released could illuminate the space inside.

The result was still pitch black.

At this moment, Yin Yi transmitted the emotion of "safety" from the spiritual world.

"Is it a darkness that even spiritual light cannot dispel..."

Before entering, Han Ning once again looked at the strange lines and sharp arches painted on the towering floor, and stepped inside.

A flower in front of him.

After coming back to his senses, Han Ning found himself in an empty environment.

"Huh? No more water?" He waved his hand, and there was no resistance. The air he breathed into his lungs was dry and refreshing.

"This is?!!"

Han Ning followed their gazes, and then his eyes widened. A tall door appeared at the end of the hall, it was dark, and he didn't know where it led.

On both sides of the hall, just like the remains of the Insect Queen last time, there are sculptures of "soul beasts" that are tall and strong, wearing armor and holding different weapons.

Some of them are human-shaped, while others are completely like an eyeball, or a big tree. Even so, their bodies are also covered with a layer of stone armor.

Different from the sculptures at the insect-man ruins, every sculpture here is at least 10 meters high, as if silently watching the creatures walking into the hall.

<divclass="contentadv">The walls and the dome are painted with colorful paintings with religious themes.

Hanging below the dome are intricate chandeliers made of unknown golden materials.

The shapes of these chandeliers are also different. They are made of naked humanoid creatures holding a lamp with a lighting object.

Some are shaped like metal trees. At the end of the branches and leaves are lampstands for placing lighting objects.

At this moment, there are only sporadic flames burning on these lampstands.

The color of the flames was a faint green, making the originally dark environment even more eerie and mysterious.

The flame on the lampstand has been burning for countless years, but the light it emits can dispel the irreversible darkness.

Except for the above things, the hall is empty, with no other creatures or legendary treasures.

Since this place can be recorded in the notes of the Insek tribe insect masters, it must have been visited by many insect people, and there is a high probability that no secret treasures will be left behind.

Han Ning did not rush to enter the open door in the middle, but observed the brightly colored murals around him with interest.

The content of the mural seems to be about a war of which he was unaware.

It is difficult to see the specific shapes of the protagonists in the war, or murals, because all the creatures that appear are covered in a thick layer of silver armor. Speaking of which, they are very similar to the shapes of the stone sculptures on both sides.

They hold different weapons tightly, either chopping or releasing soul skills to resist the attack of a group of ugly monsters.

Han Ning saw that the appearance of one of the monsters was somewhat similar to the winged demon he had seen before, that is, the night demon.

However, the monster on the mural looked much more powerful than the Night Demon. Even if it was a dead thing, he could feel a surging killing intent coming from above.

His eyes wandered, and he saw an ugly monster lying on all fours, with the ends of its limbs like sharp knives, a long thorn like a poisonous scorpion at its tail, terrifying fangs, and six purple eyes.

"Is this the Shadow Reaper? It's really ugly..." Han Ning recalled the description of the Shadow Reaper by the Insek tribe, and quickly determined that the appearance of this monster fit the inherited description.

The mural depicts the Shadow Reaper very vividly. The upward-curving tail spine showed an illusory and uncertain appearance. By the end, it had turned into a mist-like appearance, making it difficult to see the form clearly.

"It seems that the civilization that built this complex is in a camp that is hostile to the Shadow Reapers..."

Han Ning took out his mobile phone and took pictures of the murals and sculptures in the hall one by one.

After a moment, he hugged Feilin and walked into the dark, open door in the middle with Yinyi.

If nothing else goes wrong, what is connected behind the gate is the mountain next to Biyou Lake. As long as you pass through the mountain, there is a deep misty valley on the other side.

Da Da Da~

Only his footsteps echoed in the dark passage.

This passage is very spacious, nearly 10 meters high and 8 meters wide, with strange-shaped lampstands inlaid on both sides.

It's just that the burning on the lampstand seems to have been burned out long ago, and only a few scattered lamps shine with a faint green light.

The further we go, the thicker the fog ahead becomes.

After walking forward for about 500 meters, Han Ning felt that the surrounding fog had become the same as when he entered the misty valley. It was at least twice thicker than the outside world, and the fog was also different.

However, he is now a beast master who has reached the second level of spiritual power, and he can resist the hallucinogenic components in the mist very well.

In addition, what surprised Han Ning was that he didn't encounter a soul beast along the way. It was impossible to not see even a soul beast in this area where soul beasts were everywhere.

There is only one possibility. There is a special power here, a power that even soul beasts are afraid of.

But...Yinyi didn't feel it, which was strange.

After walking for about 3 kilometers, the passage finally reached the end.

After passing through the thick fog, in front of me was still a hall similar to the one on the other side.

Walking to the entrance of the hall, pushing open the door, my eyes suddenly opened up.

He saw that he was on the second floor of a tall building.

A vaguely invisible translucent film appeared dozens of meters above. From time to time, large bubbles passed through the translucent film and rose into the sky in a flash.

There is no doubt that this place is still underwater, but the translucent film repels a huge amount of water.

Further away, there is endless darkness, giving people a feeling of oppression and fear.

Here, still underwater.

The huge translucent film covered a large area with about a dozen buildings of the same style.

Han Ning walked around the hall. Apart from the murals and sculptures that were 100% similar, there was nothing else worthy of study.

So, he took Feilin and Yinyi for a walk around the nearby buildings.

The strange thing is that all the buildings are empty, as if they have been cleaned, and they are terrifyingly clean.

Seeing that nothing was found, Han Ning had no choice but to summon the egg cake again and swim above the water.

puff~

In a small lake surrounded by mist, a huge head popped out.

Han Ning stood at the dragon's head and looked around.

At this moment, they were in a small lake less than 300 meters wide. On the land connected to the lake, there were more than a dozen pairs of eyes with dim light, staring directly in their direction.

"Roar!!"

Omelet felt the gaze of the eyes and couldn't help snorting, staring back fiercely and letting out a low growl in protest.

When those "eyes" saw this, they quickly dispersed.

Call ~

Egg Pancake rushed out of the lake, waved its wings, stirred up the thick fog, and flew to the nearest shore, carrying Han Ning.

Next, he had to consider how to capture the Shadow Reaper.

The Insek tribe has no clear records of information about the Shadow Reapers, only some vague words, let alone how to capture them.

"Shadow reapers have the characteristics of the undead... but they are not undead. From past experience, the recipes for this kind of soul beasts are usually soul beast crystals of the same attribute, or the flesh and blood of soul beasts of the same attribute..."

"Do undead soul beasts have flesh and blood?" Han Ning lowered his head and glanced at Feilin, who was quietly sucking her fingers in her arms, with an inexplicable expression on her face.

Feilin also has undead attributes. If her blood is used, will it be effective?

"She is just an entry-level soul beast. I don't know if she can arouse the interest of the Shadow Reaper. Let's give it a try first."

It was just a little blood. Han Ning didn't have many entangled thoughts. He had been emphasizing in his heart that he wanted to separate Feilin from ordinary human lolita.

Although Feilin is soft and weak, she is actually a strong spirit beast. Squeezing out a little blood is not a problem for her at all.

"Feilin, please bear with me, I'll be fine soon." Han Ning touched Feilin's head, and at the same time, using the ability of the all-encompassing spiritual silkworm, he began to suck her blood without anyone noticing.

"babble?"

Before Feilin could react, a ball of Feilin's blood had condensed on the tentacles on Han Ning's fingertips.
