, Going Down the River, Obtaining the Soul Claw 3
This thing is called Evil Infant, it is precisely the condensation formed after the water plants have long absorbed yin energy. However, although these things look like ghost babies on the surface, in reality, they are not. They are not ghost babies, they have no souls, they are just a mass of evil energy.
Ironically, these Evil Infants are even more troublesome. They have no souls, but they attack people, and they will attack at all costs.
I was a bit puzzled, could it be that these Evil Infants were the things that Long Lanxiang mentioned, guarding the Soul Claw?
Thinking of this, I reached into my backpack and took out some soybeans, and casually sprinkled them underwater.
These soybeans have also been specially processed, dried in the sun, boiled in boys' urine, and then sun-dried again, and boiled again. After repeating this process three times, they are finally made.
As the soybeans fell, they immediately descended towards the bottom of the water. Some of the soybeans were sprinkled on the water plants, and those water plants immediately retracted, like arms.
Suddenly, some of the soybeans sprinkled right in the middle of the water plants where the Evil Infants were. There were a few popping sounds, as the Evil Infants sprinkled with soybeans were immediately dispersed, turning into a mass of evil energy.
Seeing this situation, I felt secretly pleased.
But just then, a very bad situation occurred. After some of the Evil Infants were sprinkled with soybeans, the remaining Evil Infants suddenly opened their eyes.
Not good.
As the saying goes, not afraid of ghosts blocking the way, afraid of ghosts opening their eyes. Although these Evil Infants were not ghosts, I suddenly felt something was wrong when they opened their eyes.
Sure enough, before I could think too much, at the moment the Evil Infants opened their eyes, the water plants that had already retracted suddenly grew wildly again, stretching towards me as swiftly as arms. It was densely packed and pitch black.
Seeing this scene, I no longer hesitated and swiftly turned and swam towards the water's surface.
However, my speed was not at all comparable to the rapid growth of the water plants. In a moment's time, the water plants had caught up to me. One of the water plants even wrapped around my thigh all of a sudden, and then a tremendous force came from the water plants, pulling me underwater.
I gritted my teeth, suddenly pulled out a small sword from my bag, and slashed at the water plants, cutting them off. And where the water plants were cut off, numerous sparkling and glowing things immediately emerged, spreading out in the water.
Soul Orbs?
Yes, these sparkling things were indeed Soul Orbs.
As the saying goes, when the soul flies away and the spirit scatters, but the soul flying away and the spirit scattering is not the final resting place for the soul. After the soul flies away and the spirit scatters, it actually turns into these Soul Orbs. Soul Orbs can be said to be the substance that makes up the soul.
After the soul flies away and the spirit scatters, turning into Soul Orbs, the Soul Orbs can still exist in the world for a short period of time, and then they will completely dissipate.
I had not expected that within the water plants, it actually contained Soul Orbs. This must be because the water plants have absorbed some water ghost Soul Orbs that have scattered.
I furrowed my brow in secret and watched as the water grass was cut off. Without any hesitation, I swiftly swam towards the water's surface. Finally, with a splash, I emerged from the water, just as I felt like I couldn't hold my breath any longer.
As soon as I surfaced, I immediately began to breathe heavily.
However, as I surfaced, I wasn't the only one. Upon seeing me emerge, Fatty on the riverbank suddenly shouted in panic, "Duanmu, be careful."
"Huh?" Upon hearing Fatty's voice, I suddenly came to my senses and looked around. I saw that all around me had turned pitch black at some point, and the water grass had caught up as well.
Not good.
At that moment, the water grass squirmed and surrounded me. These water grasses were extremely eerie, moving like snakes and swiftly swimming towards me. Not only that, I could clearly feel the water grass approaching me from beneath.
"Duanmu, what the hell are you doing? Hurry, escape." Fatty on the shore was now shouting urgently.
Hearing Fatty's urgent shout, my heart sank.
But it was too late to escape. Because at that moment, the water grass had already surrounded me.
Seeing the situation, I simply gritted my teeth and reached into my backpack, taking out a bunch of talismans that had already been wet by the water. These were human talismans, similar to the Shadowless Cloak technique, used to create a substitute to deceive ghosts and monsters.
After taking out the human talismans, I began to concentrate, ignoring Fatty's shouting and the continuous splashing sounds all around me. Suddenly, I vigorously threw more than twenty human talismans into the air.
The entire river surface suddenly boiled, with the water grass continuously emerging and reaching out into the air, directly grabbing the talismans.
And in that instant, I suddenly took out a handful of soybeans, then took a deep breath and started diving underwater at the fastest speed.
The dense water grass had already blocked my view. But faintly, I could see within the dense water grass, those evil baby's blood-red eyes emitting an eerie red light, casting a blood-red tint upon the underwater scene.
I couldn't help but coldly snort, "Nie Wei, I have to admit your ability is indeed quite good, but thinking of stopping me with some evil babies is just wishful thinking."
Muttering, I picked up the soybeans and scattered them onto the water grass below me. Upon contact with the water grass, they immediately began to retreat. In the blink of an eye, the water grass cleared a path for me to the underwater.
Without hesitation, I dove into the opening created by the water grass and continued to scatter soybeans, continuously clearing the path blocked by the water grass, while keeping my eyes fixed on the Soul-seeking Claws.
At that moment, the evil babies seemed to finally notice my presence. All the evil babies suddenly opened their mouths and emitted a terrifying baby-like scream underwater.
Then, these babies opened their blood-red mouths and swam directly towards me.
Seeing this, I didn't hesitate at all, and directly threw a handful of soybeans. With each throw, four or five babies would be hit. The sounds of wailing filled the air, and these babies were instantly dispersed by the soybeans, turning into a mass of evil spirits.
Then, I gritted my teeth and pulled out a small sword, charging towards the Soul-seeking Claws without any care.
The Soul-seeking Claws were tied to a wisp of hair, an extremely long strand of hair, and beneath the river were large copper stakes used to secure the Soul-seeking Claws.
This hair, in fact, had the same effect as the water grass. The only difference was that the evil babies on this hair were more ferocious than the ones elsewhere.
As soon as I swam near the Soul-seeking Claws, two huge blood-red eyes appeared on the hair, followed by a much larger baby's face emerging from the hair, glaring at me coldly and emitting a fierce roar from its mouth.
"Anyone disrespectful to the Soul-seeking Claws shall die," a fierce roar came from the large baby evil spirit. Though it was underwater, I heard it very clearly. The voice was pale, awkward, and eerie.
Upon hearing the voice of the big-headed baby, I stopped and stared coldly at the big-headed baby. Then, my right hand suddenly waved, and three ancient bronze coins silently drifted towards the big-headed baby.
"Er..." Before the big-headed baby could recover, the three ancient bronze coins had already struck his body. Then, he let out a horrifying scream, his body instantly shattered, along with the surrounding ghost babies.
