Desperate Night.

Chapter 279 279 Trap
Buzz.
Black Wind Camp.

A slight vibration caused Yu Hong, who was sitting cross-legged in the camp to practice, to suddenly open his eyes.

He frowned and felt a slight pain in his temple. The black ship mark in his mind was emitting circles of tiny electric currents as a reminder.

It was this reminder that stimulated him to break away from his practice and feel the sting.

He moved his body, brushed off the snow powder on his body, and stood up.

Behind him was a beam of pure white light coming through the cave's observation window, falling on the snow and illuminating the area within ten meters around it.

With the help of this light, he scanned the fan-shaped direction ahead.

There were no dragon lizards patrolling outside the camp there anymore, but it was still empty, without even a ghostly black bug.

The Ultimate Gate was still releasing blue light mist continuously, but no spiritual tides like the Finger Butterfly appeared.

At this time, the Black Disaster and the Light Disaster seemed to have entered a relatively stable stalemate.

Yu Hong looked up at the sky.

The black fog in the sky gradually turned gray-black, not as deep as before.

It seems that the changes brought about by the Ultimate Gate have continued to transform the sky in this area.

He thought for a moment, sensed the constant stimulation and reminder of the black ship, turned around and walked back to the cave.

He quickly packed up, put on a protective suit, and put on a breathing valve.

Yu Hong went directly to the wooden bridge behind the camp, illuminated the bridge with an atomic lamp, and then.
He walked straight up.

He kept going forward, and soon he stood at the end of the wooden bridge pier, with a surging black river in front of him.

The black ship was docked on the river, constantly swaying and hitting the dock, making noises.

Yu Hong tried to give the order for the black ships to prepare to depart.

But as soon as the command was given, the black ship shook all over and the hull began to move forcibly, but large pieces of black skin gradually fell off the surface.

"Stop, come back!" Seeing this, Yu Hong could only let him go back to the dock to rest.

Standing on the wooden bridge, he gazed at the surging river in front of him, with a thoughtful look on his face.

After more than ten minutes.

suddenly.

He took a step forward.

thump.

A soft sound.

He actually jumped directly into the Black River.

He was like a weight; his body splashed a little water and then sank into the Black River.

Gurgling bubbles floated up from beside me.

He sank quietly, and under the water of the Black River, he adjusted his posture into the standard standing position with his head up and his feet down.

The characteristics of Water Condensation Technique: Underwater breathing and night moth are activated at the same time.

The black water around him was automatically controlled by the technique and condensed into an extremely thin black water film on his body surface.

It looked like he was immersed in the black water, but actually, thanks to the water condensation technique, there was a thin layer of air between him and the black river.

Holding his breath, Yu Hong opened his eyes and watched the movements in the Black River.

"Since the black ship can go to various mysterious places and places of vitality through the Black River, does that mean that if I enter here myself, I can also find various places of vitality?"

'What secrets does this black river hide? What else is there besides a place of life?'

With doubts, he kept sinking and sinking.

It was pitch black all around him and he couldn't see anything. He could only determine the direction by sensing the concentration of the red value.

The direction with low red value is above the water surface, and the direction with high red value is below the water surface.

At the same time, the mark in his mind can also tell him which direction the camp is.

Just as Yu Hong was swimming carefully in the Black River, he suddenly felt a slight chill in his arms.

He immediately took out a black starfish from the outer pocket of his protective suit.

'It was something dug up on Huangsong Island'

Looking at the starfish, Yu Hong could clearly see wisps of gray smoke slowly floating up from its surface.

"There was black smoke on Huangsong Island, but here it's different, gray smoke?"

Yu Hong took note of this change in his mind. He noticed that the gray smoke from the starfish all curved and drifted toward the lower right.

With an idea in his mind, he controlled the black water, consumed his internal energy, used the water condensation technique to support himself, and went deeper in the direction where the gray smoke was drifting.

Soon, there was movement around.

Many tiny black bugs began to swim around him.

He casually wrapped one with his water-condensing technique and examined it carefully.

The insect has eight legs, its body is oval like a sunflower seed, and its head is a small triangle.

"Black Ticks are the smallest monster unit of the Black Plague. Could this be the Black Plague's base camp?"

Releasing the black tick, he continued to sink.

call!
Suddenly, a huge black shadow flashed past me.

Yu Hong was startled, but because it was pitch black, he couldn't see what was passing by. It looked like a fish.

He calmed himself and continued to sink.

But as it continued to sink.

More and more dark figures passed by him, and he occasionally met old friends among them.

For example, big skin, elephant worm, withered woman, fast man, insect man.
As the depth increases, the intensity of the black disaster around it also increases.

Strange sounds of laughter, gurgling, swallowing, singing, etc., came and went, mixed together, and reached his ears.

Yu Hong's expression remained unchanged as he controlled the water condensation technique, causing the black river water to transform into a snake-like shape, disguising itself as a member of the Black Disaster. As it continuously absorbed red values, the concentration of red radiation around it was relatively high, which in turn concealed other auras.

He simply disguised himself as a black snake and let it drag him in the direction where the gray smoke was flying.

at last.

After about seven or eight minutes, the black water gradually faded, and he could vaguely see the scenery in the distance. At this moment, a huge black wall appeared in front of him.

It is undoubtedly a very strange thing that a flat black wall of unknown size and width appears under the water of this deep and strange black river.

On the wall, a circular light spot with a diameter of more than two meters is quietly embedded in the middle.

The light spot was grayish white, emitting a striking and unique white light into the dark river.

The edge of the white light has attracted a lot of unknown things at this time.

In the periphery, apart from Yu Hong, there was a large group of strange-shaped black shadows huddled together, swimming around the light spot.

The shadows squirmed and devoured each other, but none of them were willing to leave the vicinity of the light spot. Even if some were being devoured, they did not move at all.

Yu Hong controlled himself and stopped more than 20 meters away from the light spot.

He controlled the water condensation skill and continued to condense it into a black snake, completely wrapping himself in the snake's belly.

Although the internal energy was being consumed continuously at a high speed, the red value around him was also off the charts, absorbed into the body and converted into internal energy, basically achieving a balanced circulation, so he didn't have to worry about consumption.

just
He watched the gray smoke wafting out of the starfish in his hand, which was oozing out a thin film of black water and slowly drifting towards the direction of the light spot, and a guess came to his mind.

"Is that spot of light the area where Huangsong Island is located?" he guessed.

I didn’t expect that the starfish I picked up during the day could have this function.

After observing the light spot for a while, Yu Hong saw a large number of black shadows gathered around it.

So he planned to go back and leave.

In this situation, if he approached directly, he would definitely be discovered by the countless black disasters surrounding him.

call!
Suddenly, in the black water to Yu Hong's right, countless water currents turned into hair-like thin lines, converging into a five-meter-long human-shaped figure that was pitch black with a white light edge.

Two red lights were shining on the human-shaped head, and it reached out and grabbed the surface of the water snake condensed by Yu Hong.

Through its body surface, its red eyes stared straight at Yu Hong who was hidden inside.

It was about the same size as a water snake, and when he grabbed the water snake with one hand, an indescribable huge force came out.

Yu Hong only felt that this power was quite exaggerated, comparable to that of a black giant.

The control of the black snake by the Water Condensation Technique soon became difficult to sustain. His face changed drastically, and he immediately gave up the water snake, ejecting backwards from the snake's tail.

laugh!
His whole body was like an egg, flying out from the tail of the water snake condensed by the Water Condensation Technique, and flew hundreds of meters away in a few steps.

puff!
Less than two seconds after he left the water snake.

A muffled sound was heard from the spot, and Yu Hong completely lost control of the water snake. The water snake exploded.

what! !

He heard a sharp scream in his ears, and his Water Condensation Technique captured the surrounding black water again, condensing into a black fish again, which took him back the same way.

But this time when I went back, it was far from as peaceful as before.

Huge, pale human faces kept appearing around the black fish.

Their lips opened and closed in the water, silently speaking. Each face was at least a hundred meters tall.

Yu Hong brushed past them, like sesame seeds floating between huge washbasins.

Using the water-condensing technique controlled by his internal energy, Black Fish could clearly sense the enormity of these human faces.

I also sensed that they all seemed to be converging and approaching the direction of the light spot.

"xing"

"xing"

A series of low, distorted voices of men and women mixed together, calling out the same syllable at the same time.

I don't know where this sound came from, it makes my ears itch.

Yu Hong controlled the black fish to flexibly avoid the impact of the pale white faces.

He passed precisely between the faces of the people and swam towards the camp.

The detector on the protective suit has long lost its detection value. The value has completely exceeded the upper limit and is stuck on the garbled interface.

Finally, I don’t know how much time has passed.

puff!
Yu Hong's head popped out from the surface of the Black River.

He leaped out of the black water and landed steadily on the wooden bridge pier of the camp.

Looking back at the Heihe River, he recalled the scene he had just seen and had some vague guesses in his mind.

'If the area behind the light spot is Huangsong Island, then that light spot may represent a leak point. The black disaster is relying on the location of the light spot and slowly infiltrating the area where Huangsong Island is located.'

Thinking back to when I was in the Black River, it felt like it was pitch black all around.

Gloomy, desperate, and depressing.

Yu Hong suddenly understood why the monsters in the Black River were chasing the light spots so crazily.

Standing on the wooden bridge.

He suddenly looked up and saw a human-shaped black shadow with a white edge slowly emerging from the black river at the area where he had emerged from the water.

When he saw it, the human figure's entire upper body had emerged.

"Followed me back!?" Yu Hong instantly came up with the answer.

He pressed the detector reset.

beep.

The piercing alarm sounded in the blink of an eye, and the red value on the detector soared all the way, exceeding the safety value, reaching 100,000, 500,000, and even millions.
And it’s still soaring.

Because the black ship would also affect the test results, Yu Hong pressed the detector and removed it and threw it away.

'This thing is no longer very useful.'

He looked at the white figure stepping on the water. Its five-meter-tall figure was much taller than him.

"Agris."

He took a step back, and a golden arc of light flashed behind him, from which a huge black lizard suddenly jumped out.

Agris, which was more than thirty meters long, crossed the large black river in the blink of an eye and slapped the white human figure on the water with one claw.
