Chapter 32: Black Pool Mire Rebirth Fish

  Liu Yi looked at the strange fish with a black dorsal fin about ten meters long, swimming and stirring up black waves in the black mud, thinking: "Is it possible that this big guy will take us across the Black Water Marsh?"

  In the midst of contemplation, that strange fish had already quickly approached the edge of the dark swamp, and when it was about to arrive, Cang Yang Xiao Ke had long been excitedly jumping up and down, with a look of extreme joy.

  The big fish stopped at the edge of the black water, suddenly lifted its head, and instantly the black water mud splashed onto the unprepared crowd. They hastily raised their hands to cover themselves, then looked at the fish, and were shocked.

  Malacca exclaimed: "My god, isn't this the 'old fish ancestor' we met in the underground river?"

  Indeed, this fish is also a human-faced monster fish, but it's definitely not an old man fish.

  Professor Zhou Tao, facing a big fish with an unchanged expression, took out his camera and snapped away.

  At this time, Liu Yi suddenly remembered the fish in the underground dark river that Kexi said was willing to sink into the darkness and swallow the souls of sinful people to guide them to their next life. He asked Kexi: "Is this fish the reincarnation fish you mentioned?"

  Keke Xi was young, after all, and when he saw a fish that was twice as big as the old turtle's ancestor, his eyes widened in shock and his mouth hung open, staring at the strange fish, without even thinking of answering Liu Yi's question.

  Only to see that strange fish raised its head, with four whiskers on its mouth, a flat head, looking somewhat like a catfish. Seeing Korksi's wide open mouth staring at it, as if competing with him who had the bigger mouth, it also opened its mouth.

  The monster fish's mouth was huge, big enough to swallow all the people in front of it with one gulp, and still have plenty of room left over. By rough estimate, swallowing a few baby elephants would be no problem at all. The little Tibetan antelope suddenly jumped into its mouth, turned around inside, and then bleated twice before running out, seemingly disgusted by its bad breath, as if it hadn't brushed its teeth in ages.

  Only the Asura fish was seen, turning its body over, as if inviting them to step on its back. The little Tibetan antelope, Xiao Ke, called out to the crowd and jumped up first. As soon as Xiao Ke jumped onto the Asura fish's back, a surprising scene appeared: where Xiao Ke stood, a white air sac emerged from the bottom, enveloping Xiao Ke's entire body from the bottom up.

  What is that sac-like thing that looks like a fish bladder but isn't one? Can Xiaoke suffocate inside it?

  With doubts, everyone stood on the back of the fish. Fortunately, the fish's back was wide and large, otherwise it would have been slippery and they would have fallen into the black swamp and drowned to death. As soon as they stepped onto the big fish's back, a white airbag popped up and wrapped them inside.

  The airbag inside is surprisingly full of oxygen, and it doesn't make people feel stuffy at all.

  To be honest, the crowd didn't feel too surprised when they saw the big fish, but the way it took them forward was beyond their understanding. Even Professor Zhou Tao, who knew everything past and present, nodded repeatedly in admiration.

  Next, the fish floated on the surface of the water for a while, allowing Liu Yi and others to observe the situation on the surface of the black swamp. As seen before, "corpses were everywhere", and they also found the bodies of poachers who had arrived ahead of them floating on the surface of the water. Those corpses had lost their lower body, only the upper body was visible, it is estimated that the lower body had been bitten off by this big fish and eaten away. It is estimated that this big fish relied on these corpses to survive.

  If it weren't for the Tibetan antelope leading the way, they would probably have ended up being eaten by the strange fish. It seems that whether it's human connections or animal connections, they are still very useful at critical moments.

  Just as Liu Yi and the others were watching in awe, the fish suddenly dived into the dark water, and everything before their eyes turned black. They felt like they were moving quickly through the water, but the white air sac of the fish was tightly sealed, not a single drop of dirty water seeped in. All they saw was the dark water rushing past their eyes. This feeling was really like being taken by the fish to cross over the endless darkness and arrive at the sunny paradise of reincarnation.

  Liu Yi was very curious about the white airbag, walked up and poked it with his finger, felt a strong elasticity, but extremely soft, and exclaimed in admiration: "If you add a periscope, it's really like a small submarine!"

  Suddenly, the fish's tail swept back and forth to the left and right, its speed clearly increasing. With this sweep, the people on the fish's back slipped underfoot and all fell to the ground. Then, with the swinging of the fish's tail, they slid back and forth to the left and right. Although it looked like it could make them feel dizzy and disoriented, Liu Yi and the others didn't feel a bit uncomfortable, but instead looked very pleased!

  After a while, they felt their bodies suddenly rising up, and suddenly there was light. They floated out of the dark water and saw the sun. It should have been noon by now, with the sun shining brightly in the sky.

  Liu Yi looked ahead and saw a red desert in front of him, and he was shocked again. He thought: "The Red Sea that my father said to drift over, could it be this piece of red desert? If it's a desert, why use the word 'drift'? My father is also an intellectual, how can he not have this basic knowledge?"

  In the midst of confusion, they had already arrived at the end of the Black Water Marsh, but saw that the fish suddenly jumped up and actually jumped onto the shore, rubbing forward for a long distance before stopping. The red desert was rubbed out with a deep "red ditch".

  Liu Yi thought to himself, "I remember when I was a kid, I saw black fish jumping onto the shore and finding their own way back to water. This guy can do that too? This big fella that looks like a carp but isn't a carp, and looks like a black fish but isn't a black fish, if only I could take it home and raise it!"

  Of course, he was dreaming, it's already pretty good to make friends with this big guy, if not for the face of the little antelope, I guess they are now not on its back, but already in its belly.

  As soon as the fish landed on shore, the white air sac suddenly turned into a warm and sticky substance that poured down. It seemed that this air sac was formed by some kind of protective secretion from the fish's body. Liu Yi touched his face, which was covered with sticky white stuff, and jumped off the fish's back first. Then he patted the big fish's body and shouted: "Thanks, buddy!"

  That black fish was very disrespectful to Liu Yi, suddenly a swing of its tail swept him up, and Liu Yi instantly flew into the sky. Fortunately, Liu Yi's martial arts skills were high, and he managed to do several flips in mid-air before landing steadily on the ground.

  Without the protection of the white airbag, the big fish swung its tail and the others on its back "whooshed" down.

  That big fish was extremely pleased with its own mischievousness, and when Liu Yi was rolling in the air, it even deliberately raised its head to take a look. Seeing that Liu Yi was safe and sound, it turned its big eyes around and slowly swam into the dark swamp, without even turning its head back, not showing any reluctance or attachment at all.

  Liu Yi was speechless: "This guy is as mischievous as the Red Pupil Snow Ape, is it that beating is love and scolding is affection? Please, if it's like this, I'd rather not be thrown around and swept away by these big guys!"

  Lu Zonghan and Professor Zhou Tao are crouching on the ground, studying how these red deserts were formed. After researching for half a day, they couldn't find any clues. If it's said that this is formed by wind-eroded rock powder, but there aren't any red rocks around. Moreover, the sand grains of this red desert are powdery and don't resemble sand at all. Furthermore, a faintly discernible aura emanates from it, giving off an extremely uncomfortable feeling that can't be described, but is definitely not good.

  "Is this not the last leg of our journey to the land of sacrifice, the Red Sea?" exclaimed Ma Liuji.

  Liu Yi looked up and gazed forward, this red desert land stretched out for an unknown distance, because in the thousands of meters ahead it turned a bend and was blocked from view by a small hill.

  In the distance, the red desert under the sun's rays shines with a reddish glow, as if it were a vast red ocean.

  After entering Death Valley, Kexi was assisted by animals all the way and became lazy. He jumped onto Xiao Ke's back early on, waved his hand at Liu Yi, and said with a smile: "Let's set off! After crossing the red desert, we'll arrive at the land of sacrifice!"

  Liu Yi, however, was not as excited as he had been. Although they had received help from the Tibetan antelopes and other small creatures along the way after entering the Death Valley, and had safely crossed the White Bone Grounds and the Black Swamp, he was filled with vigilance for this last leg of their journey. The evil aura emanating from the red desert made it clear that crossing it would not be easy.

  As he thought of this, he raised his wrist to look at his watch, but found that the electronic watch's pointer was shaking wildly, a clear sign that something unusual had happened in the magnetic field.

  He suddenly felt a sense of vigilance, in the chaotic magnetic field situation, you can't predict what kind of danger will appear next step, it's possible to be sucked into a black hole and not even leave any residue, or it's also possible to sink into this underground desert and die without knowing how. But he thought again, the little Tibetan antelope had crossed here before, looking at its steady footsteps, there should be no situation for him to worry about, even if there was, the little one would definitely not lead everyone to find death!

  With this thought, he put his mind at ease. Then he called on everyone to set off together, and Professor Zhou Tao's cold had improved a lot, but he was experiencing some mild oxygen deficiency symptoms, so they didn't walk very fast.

  Lu Zonghan was afraid that Professor Zhou would get tired, so he took out a black crutch from the trunk and handed it to him.

  Everyone recalled the experience of this journey, and it really felt like a dream. Although they had narrowly escaped death in the Dark River, they had gained the help of their beast friends along the way, which was something they had never thought possible, nor dared to think about.

  Everyone has witnessed the ability of Xiao Ke, a Tibetan antelope, which has further strengthened Liu Yi's determination to rescue Kekemu. If a pet by his side is so powerful, how formidable Kekemu must be!

  Even if no major clues are obtained at the sacrificial site, as long as Keke Mu is rescued, Liu Yi believes that this ancient Qiang Dashibi will surely have boundless magical powers and be able to communicate with the Seven-Star Crystal Goat's head to obtain the information he wants.

  Suddenly, Liu Yi realized something was off again.

  Since Father knew Korkwood, why didn't he give the crystal sheep head to Korkwood for study?

  Was it that Father came out of Death Valley and then went to another place to get this crystal sheep head? Or did he first get the crystal sheep head and then come to Death Valley?

  He sighed and caught up with the advancing troops.

  Perhaps, after crossing the "Red Sand Crimson Sea" and arriving at the sacrificial site to rescue Kork Wood, these questions will have an answer!
