Volume 23, Chapter 16, Can't Swallow
With a "puzzle", I jumped into the lake without any hesitation.
The crystal clear water opened. When the drops of water jumped into the air, it did not splash and then fell back into the lake, as if it was pulled back by invisible silk threads.
The lake was not deep, just below my shoulders. The huge shadow in the lake was more like a ghost. I reached out to mo, but I couldn't touch anything, and my palm passed through the shadow in vain. The shadow had no response to me, and was churning on my own.
Soaked in the clear and mellow water of the lake, like glue and cream, I felt delighted. The reason why this empty city is declining is because the lake is constantly drying up. If you guess correctly, this small lake located in the center of the spiritual consciousness is the essence of the empty city.
Swallow it and step into Zhiwei!
I lowered my lower body without hesitation, buried my head and opened my mouth, and swallowed the lake water. When the cold lake water poured into my throat, it suddenly became heavy like a bell, blocking the mouth of the esophagus, making it difficult to swallow. In just a blink of an eye, the lake water flowed back from my mouth and poured into the lake.
I tried several times in a row, and all of them were like this. The seemingly soft lake water was stuck when it hits the throat and could not swallow it even if it was hard. Even if I only added a drop of water to the tip of my tongue, the water droplets would roll out on its own.
I couldn't swallow it! I had a headache secretly. The essence of the empty city was placed in front of me, but I could only stare at me. It was like a hungry man picking up a large cake drawn, and a ghost met a beautiful statue of a white marble, which was at best a pleasure.
The most strange thing is that until now my whole body is dry and my hair and clothes are not wet at all.
A lake of water is like a foreign object that is completely incompatible with me. Although it is close to my body, it will never penetrate.
Suddenly, a trace of movement appeared on the water behind me. I felt a warning sign, and my two strokes were swinging.
Swim away quickly to the side.
A strange insect the size of a baby's fist rubbed my back tightly. It folded flexibly in the water, as fast as a flying fish, and rushed towards me again.
The strange insect is shaped like an olive, covered with a shell that is not transparent to the seams, and only two shiny, long, long, and sharp mouths with needle-shaped tips. The shell is gray and white, like a hard rock layer, with round and bulging abdomen and toes, with sharp toes as sharp as hooks.
"Shi Xinpu! It's actually an adult who hatched the shell!" Xu shouted in surprise.
The stone heart pupa came quickly and vigorously, and its smooth and narrow body penetrated the edges very quickly and was flexible and freely in the water. If I fought with it in the lake, I would definitely suffer a loss. At that moment, I twisted my waist, rushed out of the lake, and flew back into the air.
Halfway through, I suddenly caught a twisted and shining crack in time and space three feet above, which happened to be stuck on my backward route. Once I bumped into it, I was either cut off by the crack or completely sucked into another space and space.
As a last resort, I could only barely suppress the momentum and turn back. Shi Xinpu broke through the lake at this moment and rushed towards me.
"Bang!" My fist hit Shi Xinpu's sharp claws, and several bloody holes were cut. With the help of the recoil force, I moved sideways, avoiding the cracks that enveloped the lake surface, and jumped into several somersaults to jump towards the lakeside.
Shi Xinpu was also shaken by my fist force and glared at me fiercely, then sank into the lake and disappeared without a shadow. I couldn't help but feel moved. Shi Xinpu's eyes were clear and clear, and the water was as bright as the lake water, which seemed to absorb the essence of the lake water.
As soon as I landed at the lake, more than ten rotten arm claws were grabbed at me. Yu Sheng was obviously quite afraid of me and did not dare to release evil things anymore. He just used his arm claws that were as long as a swimming snake to attack me.
This is exactly what I want. At the moment, I have no intention of dealing with the irrational evil spirit, which is irrational, just rushing and dodging, using small body techniques to hang around him, and focusing all my attention on the stone heart pupa in the lake.
The decline of the empty city comes from the decay of the lake. Does the decay of the lake come from the stone heart pupa? Is it because it is absorbing the essence of the empty city? The empty city brings us in, just because we want us to get rid of the stone heart pupa?
I glanced at the small claw marks embedded in the back of my hand and suddenly understood that this was the sharp claws that dug out the Kongkongxuan's chamber. Only treasures like Shi Xinpu can make Kongkongxuan unprepared.
For Kongkongxuan, of course, the only one who is closer than Sesame and me is the rare treasure. Shi Xinpu must have pretended to be unenlightened and "accidentally" was stolen by Kongkongxuan.
When Kongkongxuan put it in his arms, Shi Xinpu suddenly attacked and seriously injured Kongkongxuan. Then he chased him all the way and met me.
Shi Xinpu is Shi Yong! He has become spiritual and transformed into shape and has produced mature spiritual wisdom! Therefore, he can not only transform back into the original form of Shi Xinpu, but also transform into an adult. He is the culprit that caused the decline of the empty city, and is the chess piece that destroys the empty city by the way of heaven.
Most importantly, he has become the key to my breakthrough in Zhiwei!
I don’t know what method Shi Xinpu used to absorb the essence of the empty city. I can’t take the lake water directly, but I can swallow the stone Xinpu. His body also contains the essence of the empty city, which can also help me break through Zhiwei.
Within the sight of her eyes, Wuhen and Zhuang Meng also rushed to the edge of the lake. While guarding against the filthy, they scooped up the lake water and carefully observed. I rushed into the lake so desperately that the two old foxes could no longer be thoughtful, and they would be called Xuanshi.
"Shi Yong is the insect in the lake, and it also makes Kongcheng decay. As long as we kill him, Kongcheng will allow us to pay off our debts and leave safely!" I shouted loudly, "What do you think of the two Xuanshi?"
"You know a lot about the empty city." Zhuang Meng turned his head and looked at me, his eyes flashing: "The one in the lake is not just a bug, right? I look a bit like a stone heart pupa."
I separated the arms and claws that had been slim in front of the filthy ghost, and smiled slightly: "Master Xuan's eyes are like torches, but it turns out that he can't help you."
"Shi Yong is indeed suspicious. Regardless of whether he is the reason for the decline of the empty city or not, kill him first." Wuhen said in a stern voice, "After killing, the body is three points."
"A word is determined." I agreed readily, thinking to myself that Shi Xinpu is the key to my enlightenment, how can I give in? Not to mention the division into three parts, even a little bit of debris is no room for negotiation. Let's agree for the time being, it's not too late to turn against me again afterwards.
"I have a subtle sense: I have helped the empty city, and I am afraid I will be hostile to heaven and earth from now on." Zhuang Meng sighed to the sky and said, "But if you stand by and watch, it will be difficult for you and me to leave the city. The day when the city is broken is the time for you and I to die. Forget it, how can you not bow your head under the eaves?"
"Kill the filthy soul first, and then destroy Shi Yong." Wuhen said coldly, "The northern border is almost dead, so what can you do if you are hostile to heaven and earth?"
In an instant, the two great masters rushed towards the filthy. They acted decisively and would never drag on the situation once the situation became clear.
I laughed a long time, jumped up, and my fists were as if I was angry and rushed to the filthy.
Chapter completed!
