Chapter 307 Mysterious Trident
Gu Yang squatted among the pile of bones, carefully examining each bone.
He picked up a skull and found some bloody symbols engraved on its bottom, like some ancient writing.
He frowned and handed the skull to Hu Qing: "Ah Qing, look at this. I don't understand what's painted on it."
Hu Qing took the skull, glanced at the symbols, and frowned slightly:
"These symbols... I don't recognize them either, but I can be sure that they are related to this formation."
Gu Yang nodded and whispered, "What should we do now?"
Hu Qing pondered for a moment and whispered, "Copy these symbols. After we get ashore, we'll go to Deepwater Town and look for some history books to see if we can find any clues."
Gu Yang responded, quickly took out paper and pen from the storage ring, and began to carefully record the blood-colored symbols.
Hu Qing continued to maintain the spiritual barrier, continuously supplying spiritual power to resist the violent pool water outside.
However, just as Gu Yang was concentrating on recording, a trident covered with copper rust suddenly shot out from the turbid water outside, passed straight through the spiritual barrier, and stabbed towards Hu Qing's heart.
"Pfft——!"
The trident pierced Hu Qing's chest accurately, and blood instantly dyed his clothes red.
Hu Qing looked down at the still swinging trident, a hint of disbelief in his eyes.
The spiritual barrier outside couldn't actually withstand it. What kind of weird weapon is this?
He pulled the trident out of his body with great effort, and then his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.
"A Qing!" Gu Yang shouted and rushed forward quickly.
However, Hu Qing's soul emerged from this flesh and blood puppet and floated in the air.
While maintaining the spiritual barrier, he glanced coldly at the surrounding waters.
However, the surrounding water was too murky and he could not see anything clearly.
The divine sense shone over there, but no trace of any living creature was found.
"Be careful, there are enemies! We are preparing to retreat." Hu Qing's soul whispered with a serious tone.
Gu Yang nodded and quickly put Hu Qing's injured flesh puppet into the storage bag on his waist.
He gripped the Soul Devouring Blade tightly, his eyes fixed on the surrounding waters, alert for possible attacks.
At this moment, another trident shot from a distance.
This trident was extremely strange. It was not affected by the spiritual barrier. It went straight through the barrier and stabbed towards Gu Yang's heart.
"Qiang——!"
Hu Qing's soul quickly drew the sword, and with a flash of sword light, it cut the trident into two pieces.
However, the moment the trident broke, it suddenly exploded, and a vast amount of spiritual energy swept in like a storm.
"boom--!"
The spiritual barrier was instantly shattered by the impact of this force, and the surrounding pool water poured in like a flood.
The souls of Gu Yang and Hu Qing were swept around by the current, and there was chaos all around.
"Let's go! Don't worry about the remaining bones." Hu Qing's soul growled and quickly pulled Gu Yang towards the surface of the water.
The exploded trident fragments left several bloody marks on Gu Yang's body, and blood oozed out of the wounds.
As soon as the blood merged into the pool water, it was absorbed by the soil under his feet and disappeared without a trace.
He looked down and found that the bloodstains under the feet of Hu Qing's puppet had disappeared, as if they had never existed.
"This ground... is actually absorbing our blood!" Gu Yang whispered, with a hint of shock in his tone.
Hu Qing's soul was suspended on the side, his eyes cold and stern: "This formation is indeed strange. We must leave here as soon as possible."
However, before the two could take any action, two tridents came from a distance, and the rusty tips of the tridents flashed coldly under the water.
This time, both of them learned their lesson and did not choose to fight head-on. Instead, they swam quickly towards the shore of the lake.
"Be careful of sneak attacks. You go first and I'll follow behind." Hu Qing shouted softly and pushed Gu Yang to swim quickly towards the shore.
However, as they were swimming, the green algae floating in the water suddenly came alive, turning into vines that quickly wrapped around Gu Yang's limbs.
Gu Yang was caught off guard and was tightly bound by the vines, unable to move.
"Damn it! What is this thing again!" Gu Yang gritted his teeth and struggled, but the vines were so powerful that he couldn't break free for a moment.
Seeing this, Hu Qing quickly swung his sword to chop the vines.
He is now a soul body and is completely unaffected by the vines. With a flash of sword light, several vines were cut off.
However, there were too many vines. When one was cut off, more would come up.
"Brother Gu, break free quickly!" Hu Qing shouted in a low voice, with a hint of anxiety in his tone.
Gu Yang took a deep breath, and spiritual power surged in his body.
He suddenly exerted force and his body jumped out of the water like a spring.
The vines obviously didn't want to let him go, and they rushed out of the water and tried to continue binding him.
"I've already come up here, and you're still thinking of pestering me?"
Gu Yang sneered, turned around and drew his sword, and the Soul-Devouring Blade drew four sharp blade beams in the air.
"Shh-!"
Wherever the blade passed, the vines were cut off, and green juice splashed onto the ground, making a "sizzling" corrosion sound.
The vines seemed to feel the pain and quickly retracted into the water, disappearing without a trace.
Gu Yang fell to the ground, panting, and whispered: "These ghosts are really troublesome."
Hu Qing's soul hovered beside him, his eyes swept around, and he whispered:
"This pool of water and the green algae are controlled by the formation. We must leave here as soon as possible, otherwise there will be more trouble."
