Chapter 866 Lake Island

Finally, everyone reached the bottom of the lake, and saw an exit with a radius of ten feet square. The rippling water looked like a piece of transparent glass, and through the waves they could see that there was a huge cave below. In the middle of the cave was a huge round fire altar with blazing flames and rolling magma. It was truly a world of water and fire!

The old man Baiwei finally breathed a sigh of relief when he arrived here.

"go!"

He plunged in first,
"Boom boom boom..."

Everyone, covered in water, jumped down one after another, heading for the magma in the burning fire altar. Seeing that the leading old man with a white tail was about to fall into the magma, suddenly a half-snake man covered in flames jumped out of the magma. The half-snake man stretched out his hands, caught the old man steadily, and then threw him out of the fire altar. The old man with a white tail then stood outside the fire altar!

The old man with white tail looked around and saw another tall half-snake man walking over not far away. This tall half-snake man was completely black, with no hair on his head. His eyes looked particularly strange. They were all white, like two white wax balls. There was only a black spot in the middle of the wax ball. It looked very strange and weird. "White tail, why are you here?"

The half-snake man with a pitch-black body asked, and Baiwei smiled bitterly.

"There are cultivators invading. The clan leader has sent out several groups of scale guards to stop them, but they all suffered heavy casualties. The clan leader ordered me to mobilize the ancestral spirit guards!"

After saying that, he stretched out his hand and spread it, revealing a piece of snake bone in his palm. The dark half-snake man took the snake bone, put it to his nose, smelled it, and nodded.
"It is indeed the clan leader's token..."

He paused and hesitated.

"There's some unusual movement outside ahead, and we've sensed it here, too. The ancestral spirits below have been unusually agitated for a while. If we leave, can you keep the ancestral spirits under control?"

The old man with white tail nodded and said,

"The clan leader also thought of this. He said that as long as we can keep the magic circle intact, we should be able to hold it for twenty-four hours. You just need to remember to come back within the twenty-four hours..."

The dark half-snake man was silent for a while, then nodded slowly.
"All right!"

So he turned around and whistled, summoning all his half-snake men with dark figures to the front, but left two for the white-tailed old man.

"I'll leave them here to help you!"

After giving a few instructions, he led a group of half-snakes with black bodies into the magma, but they disappeared in a moment...

The remaining white-tailed old man and the others were divided into several teams and went to various places to guard the magic circle. Not long after, the magma in the fire pot suddenly churned strangely, and the two black half-snake people who stayed behind suddenly showed horror on their faces.

"Oh no! The ancestral spirit is going berserk again at this moment!"

They didn't know that when they entered the fire altar, Gu Shiyi in the corridor stood in front of the white wall and squinted his eyes to look carefully.

"Tsk tsk...what a big snake!"

What was that white wall in front of him? It was clearly the body of a giant snake. This giant snake was too huge. Standing in front of Gu Shiyi, it was like a tall white wall. It was swimming slowly, and the white scales on its body were shining with a faint cold light as they passed silently in front of Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi raised his head and looked at the top of his head, and measured it in his mind.
"It seems that this passage is the passage it usually uses. Such a big snake goes in and out here every day. No wonder it can grind this whole passage to be smooth and shiny!"

Such a huge and terrifying snake actually doesn’t have any demonic aura. How could it not become a demon even at such a big size?
How weird!
Gu Shiyi leaned over to take a closer look. Still in the horrified eyes of Wangyue and Lao Ma, she poked the snake's body with her finger. It was icy cold. The snake was completely unaware of the poke and was still moving slowly. Gu Shiyi narrowed her eyes, pointed her toes, and jumped up high like a green onion pulled out of dry land...

In the thick fog, Gu Shiyi jumped up to a height of about ten feet. From such a high vantage point, he got a rough idea of ​​the situation. The white area under his feet was the body of a giant snake. He didn't know how far away it was or how big this huge white snake was. Anyway, it filled up the entire corridor in front of him. He didn't know where its head or tail was. He could only see the huge body of the snake moving slowly bit by bit. He didn't know whether it was moving forward or backward.

Seeing this, Gu Shiyi's heart moved, and he twisted his waist and fell straight onto the snake's body.

"boom……"

The snake's body was soft but hard, and very elastic. After Gu Shiyi stood firm, he tried to take two steps. A large living person fell on it, but the snake was still unaware and continued to swim slowly. Gu Shiyi stood on the snake's body and began to walk in the direction of its movement, step by step, step by step...

After walking for 70 or 80 steps, he finally saw the giant snake's head. The head was triangular in shape, with a pointed mouth and a beard on each side.
"Hey... they've already grown whiskers. If they grow two more whiskers each, they can turn into dragons!"

Gu Shiyi narrowed his eyes. The giant snake was swimming slowly towards him with its red eyes. Gu Shiyi looked carefully. These eyes were exactly the same ones they had seen in the thick fog before. However, these eyes were staring straight ahead, blankly, as if...

seem……

Gu Shiyi frowned and walked straight to the head of the snake. The head of the snake was much wider and flatter than its body. Gu Shiyi stood on it steadily and followed it slowly for a while. He found that the snake was just in the corridor, coiling its body and circling around. When its head moved, its body moved little by little...

"Is this snake... a fool?"

Wang Yue, who was quite scared at first, stretched her neck and asked Gu Shiyi. Gu Shiyi shook his head and said in a deep voice,
"It's not a fool, it's... the soul of this snake has left its body!"

"The soul leaves the body?" Old Ma asked in surprise. Gu Shiyi nodded.

"Although I am not as good as Yan'er in observing souls and spirits, I can also tell that this snake has no soul in its body, and its current movements are all unconscious..."

"This...is this snake dead?"

Wangyue asked, Gu Shiyi shook his head.

"It's not dead, it's just that its soul has left its body. It should be a living creature, but I don't know why its soul has left its body..."

After thinking for a while he said,

"While this snake is unconscious, let's get out of here quickly..."

I thought there would be a fierce battle ahead, but now there is no need to fight. Of course, the right thing to do is to run away as fast as possible!

He dodged and jumped off the snake's head, then made a few more jumps on the snake's body, and passed over the huge white snake, landing on the ground of the tunnel again. Gu Shiyi looked back at the white snake that was still swimming slowly, then he spread his feet and rushed into the thick fog without looking back...

After running in the dense fog for about half an incense stick of time, Gu Shiyi suddenly heard the sound of water.
"Wow... Wow..."

There was moisture in the air ahead, which dispersed the thick fog. The fog became thinner and thinner. Gu Shiyi ran a few more steps and rushed out of the thick fog, arriving next to an underground lake.

"what……"

This underground lake was so huge that Gu Shiyi couldn't see the end of it, but he could see a small island in the center of the lake. There was a faint light flickering in the island. Gu Shiyi glanced over his shoulders.
"Look at that island. I'm afraid that's where the center of the magic circle is..."

Old Ma stretched his neck to look at the island, then looked at the underground lake in front of him.

"Gu Shiyi, in order to prevent dangers underground, why don't I transform into my original form and send you over?"

Gu Shiyi raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment and said,

"I'm afraid there might be some ferocious beasts under the water..."

Old Ma laughed and said,

"As long as it's not a teleportation array, with my giant black tortoise prototype, even though this lake is big, it can only be used as my bathtub. If there are any ferocious beasts in the water, I can kill them with one kick!"

This is true!
Gu Shiyi nodded, and the old horse kicked his hind legs and jumped off Gu Shiyi's shoulders. With a splash, he fell into the water. After entering the water, the palm-sized little turtle suddenly swelled in size and turned into a giant black tortoise as huge as a mountain.

"boom……"

The giant turtle only made a slight movement in the water, and it caused a huge wave in the underground lake.
"boom……"

A ten-foot-high wave hit the rocks near the island, making a deafening noise.

"Gu Shiyi, get on my back..."

Gu Shiyi jumped onto the giant turtle's back as he was told. The giant turtle simply paddled its thick limbs and its head touched the shore of the island. Gu Shiyi jumped lightly onto the island. Lao Ma twisted his body and turned into a palm-sized turtle again. He climbed up Gu Shiyi's trouser leg and onto his shoulder.

"Let's go up and take a look!"

Gu Shiyi led Lao Ma and Wangyue to the center of the island. The island should be built with huge stones that were one person tall and one person wide, and were built piece by piece in the water by hand. However, due to the long time, countless cracks have appeared on the ground where the huge stones were piled. A high stone altar was built with huge stones in the center of the island. Around the stone altar, there were countless huge stone statues. Some of the statues were half-human and half-snake, and some were human-shaped. The most were giant stone snakes, each with its mouth open and fangs exposed, looking at Gu Shiyi who was walking from the shore with cold eyes, which made people feel inexplicably tight in their hearts.

"Tsk tsk... Take a look... This half-snake man's magic formation is so weird..."

Gu Shiyi looked around and saw a stone-paved road among the stone statues, so he stepped forward and walked forward step by step.
"Gu Shiyi...be careful..."

Wangyue looked around nervously.
"I always feel that...these statues are a little weird..."

Gu Shiyi laughed.

"It's quite strange..."
