I am at the highest level, living a life of eating and waiting to die in the fairy world of supernat

All the way up to now, the more he looked at the palace, the more he disliked it, even though it was very finely carved.

Gu Jiu just felt that it was a little weird, but he couldn't tell what was weird about it.

After a moment, Gu Jiu finally realized that the strange thing was that it was too detailed.

This palace has been in water for at least thousands of years, but the patterns are not blurred at all, but look like new.

Why is there no moss in the palace that has been submerged in water?

Is there someone cleaning the water?

The more Gu Jiu thought about it, the weirder it seemed. Especially in such water, even he felt a little insecure.

Although humans come from water, they are naturally afraid of water.

Not only because water can drown people, but also because deep water always represents the unknown and fear.

Gu Jiu took a deep breath and floated into the palace on the bubbles.

The water inside the palace was terrifyingly deep, and the firelight outside could no longer reach it.

As soon as Gu Jiu stepped into the palace, he heard a woman crying coming from the depths.

He just felt creepy.

Could this crying sound be from King You?

Almost at the same time, Gu Jiu discovered that the bubbles were fluctuating.

There's something in the water!

Chapter 47: The "Angel" with Broken Wings (First Update)

The water began to ripple at this time, and it was pitch black all around. Even Gu Jiu's sword eyes could not see far.

The bubble that wrapped around his body was being pulled in the water. Although it was not deformed much, it was obvious that something was swimming around.

There are several dragon-carved pillars in the main hall, which are majestic, but they look eerie and scary in the water.

The depth of the water is unknown, so the length of these dragon pillars is naturally unknown, as if following them would lead to the underworld.

The crying of the woman in the distance was not loud, but rather vague, somewhere between presence and absence, but it invisibly increased the atmosphere of horror here.

Gu Jiu did not stop and continued to walk inside, but the waves of water around him did not stop for a moment.

At this moment, Gu Jiu suddenly felt some movement below. He looked down and saw a ferocious face flash past his feet.

Even though it was just a moment, Gu Jiu could still see its appearance clearly.

It is difficult to describe what this face is. It is covered with wrinkles, and the blood-red eyes and short nose are buried in the wrinkles, making the facial features blurry.

Gu Jiu even saw gills on its lower jaw?

Mermaid?

When he saw the gills, the first thing Gu Jiu thought of was the mermaid.

Mermaids are in human form, and the ever-burning flames are the best proof of this.

In the turquoise water, there are some broken ice floating from time to time, proving that the water is very cold.

Gu Jiu ignored these things and continued walking towards the direction of the woman's crying.

In this dark water, the bubble wrapped around him was like a small submarine, appearing somewhat fragile.

Something hidden in the darkness seemed to be able to tear it apart completely at any time.

A moment later, three swish sounds were heard, and three water marks suddenly appeared in the green water. Three human-shaped monsters rushed over at lightning speed.

The fragile bubble couldn't help but change shape, as if it had foreseen its own impending bursting.

But at the moment when these three human-shaped alien objects collided, the elliptical bubble changed and regenerated.

In the blink of an eye, it grew countless sharp spines, like a sea urchin, and with three clicks, it pierced the three human-shaped aliens.

This is pure energy flowing from the inside out.

Gu Jiu stood in the bubble, his clothes fluttering in the wind, and only at this moment did he truly see the true appearance of this thing.

Maybe this thing is not a mermaid?

Their bodies were dark blue with a faint black glow, and they looked like some strange metal.

They have gills under their jaws, but they do not have human bodies and fish tails like the legendary mermaids. They just have fleshy balls on their feet to facilitate swimming in the water.

What is even more striking is that they have a pair of fleshy wings on their backs, which look a bit bloody.

If Su Ying saw this scene, she would definitely realize that this was not a mermaid, but a Yaksha.

Su Ying has loved reading since she was a child, and has read quite a few leisure books. One of them is an ancient travelogue called "Black Sea Records", which records this kind of ghost.

Yakshas generally only live in the deep sea and love to eat human souls. Every time they eat a human soul, there will be one more wrinkle on their face.

Yakshas are the source of fear in the deep sea; even the fierce mermaids are afraid of them.

But now, in King You’s water tomb, there is this strange thing.

At this time, the three Yakshas were almost pierced into sieves by Gu Jiu's internal energy, but even so, they still did not die.

Their blood-red eyes hidden in their wrinkles looked at Gu Jiu insidiously, as if they had determined that Gu Jiu was the meat in their mouths.

The next moment, the three Yakshas opened their ferocious mouths and forcibly pulled their bodies out of the sharp spikes of energy, bringing out a string of black blood, and disappeared into the dark water again.

The spikes on the bubble retracted, and the bubble returned to its previous appearance, looking weak but full of attack power.

Just like some girls, they look weak and fragile, but they can make you cry.

The Yakshas disappeared into the dark water, but Gu Jiu knew they had not left.

Because of the incident just now, Gu Jiu didn't pay attention to the woman's crying for a while. Now, he found that the woman's crying had disappeared.

At this time, he could only rely on his previous vague memory and walk deeper into the hall.

It is easy for people to get lost in such a dim environment, and Gu Jiu is no exception, otherwise he would not be such a directionally challenged person.

The bubbles carried Gu Jiu forward. The water in the darkness kept flowing. Gu Jiu even felt that there might be more than three strange things hidden inside.

At this moment, an extremely shrill scream suddenly sounded in the water, as if it was the sound of evil spirits hunting and killing humans.

And the sound came from all directions!

Gu Jiu looked around and found four water arrows shooting towards him.

Rather than saying that these are water arrows, it would be more accurate to say that they are four water tornadoes shooting out at full speed.

Needless to say, these things must have been made by the humanoid monster before.

Gu Jiu controlled the water bubble, and his movements were much slower than on land, so the four waterspouts hit the water bubble in an instant.

In just a moment, the bubble was completely torn apart, and Gu Jiu, who was inside it, only felt the sharp screams of evil spirits filling his ears.

His clothes were cut in many places, and there were even several white marks on his face.

This rolling waterspout seemed to contain countless dangerous blades, ready to cut him into pieces.

Almost at the same time, a cold light flashed and then quickly disappeared.

At this moment, the sound of flesh being pierced was heard in the dark water, and it was extremely clear.

It was the Xuepu Sword that determined the location of these things, transformed into a flying sword in the water, and began to kill them.

Gu Jiu shook his head, and the wildly dancing tornado suddenly collapsed. He looked up and instantly locked onto a Yaksha not far above his head.

After being hit by a sword, the yaksha was still moving, but Gu Jiu, who was not wrapped in blisters, was faster than it.

A big hole had just been pierced through the Yaksha's neck, and it was difficult for him to twist his neck, but at this moment he felt a shadow flash behind him.

Before it could react, Gu Jiu had already grabbed its fleshy wings with both hands, and then there was a crisp squeak, as clear as tearing paper.

This Yaksha, known as the "Fear of the Deep Sea", suddenly became an angel with broken wings.

Gu Jiu held its head and frowned slightly.

The next moment, countless cold sword lights shot out from Yaksha's body, making it riddled with holes in an instant.

If it drinks a sip of water now, its whole body will probably turn into a fountain.

This was all because Gu Jiu had just released some of the extremely abundant sword energy in his body to it.

At this time, the Yaksha had its head drooped, and there was no sign of life left.

Gu Jiu threw it away casually, just like throwing away a piece of paper.

At this time, the water flow in the entire water area became more obvious.

But the water was no longer flowing towards him, but away from him.

Some people are really scarier than ghosts.

(PS: I recommend this book "It Only Takes Three Seconds to Build a Foundation"

Introduction: Li Lin discovered that as soon as he started practicing, he was upgrading every minute and every second, and he couldn't stop at all!

Refining Qi? One second is enough.

Foundation building? Done in three seconds.

There is nothing in this world that cannot be solved through practice. If there is, then go into seclusion!

Allow me to cultivate for eleven years, and I dare to change the face of the heavenly world!

Chapter 48: Hawks and Ants (Part )

The waters, which had been somewhat turbulent, returned to calm again. The Xuepu Sword spun nimbly and returned to the scabbard at Gu Jiu's waist, looking very well behaved.

Gu Jiu snapped his fingers, and new bubbles appeared, wrapping him inside.

At this time, Gu Jiu touched his cheek, and the white mark that was previously scratched by the waterspout was immediately wiped away like ashes.

The water ahead was even darker. Gu Jiu discovered that the dragon pillars had reached an end at this time, and in the darker water ahead, there was something deeper than black.

……

There is no rain tonight and the sky is clear, but the sky above the Imperial Master's Mansion in Galan City is still covered with dark clouds.

It was the third watch at this time, and Jing'e still hadn't gone to bed.

Or maybe for someone like her, there is no concept of going to bed.

As an existence second only to the emperor and above everyone else in the Tang Dynasty, Jing'e has always been known for his mystery, in this respect even more than the empress living deep in the palace.

This is mainly because she doesn't live like a human being.

Compared to the empress's hobby of raising children, Jing'e seems to be somewhat isolated from the world.

In the eyes of outsiders, she has no hobbies and has been practicing fasting for a long time, so it is not an exaggeration to say that she lives like a terrestrial immortal.

Her reclusive lifestyle and her residence with its densely packed courtyard undoubtedly added to the sense of mystery.

But such a person who seems to be a seeker of truth happens to be the person at the center of power.

After Jing'e returned from the palace, he had been sitting in that dark room with his eyes closed. It was impossible to tell whether he was awake or asleep.

Just like she usually doesn't eat, no one can figure out her condition.

But if Jing Ruo were placed in modern times, he would be a typical workaholic, on call twelve hours a day and ready to go to work at any time.

For example, it is the middle of the night now, when most people have fallen asleep, but she is still waiting.

She is waiting for a message.

Now the plans of the Tang Dynasty are progressing in an orderly manner. Except for the hard nut to crack in the north, everything is in line with her and the empress's plan.

But for some reason, whenever the young man from the north appeared nearby, she always kept him in her mind.

It wasn't because the boy was good-looking. She had lost all desire for men decades ago, regardless of whether they were handsome or ugly. It was because of the power behind the boy.

If the young man and the forces behind him appeared near Galan City, it would be equivalent to an alien saint appearing near Galan.

After Gu Jiu and the forces behind him killed two thousand Barbarian Bone Army soldiers, Jing E had already ranked the combat power of the entire Qingliu Academy as saint level.

Theoretically, four half-saints can resist one saint, and what Qingliu Academy had accomplished in Duanshui Fort before could be considered at the saint level.

With the visit of a foreign saint, she had to be more cautious, but only more cautious.
