Chapter 1362

Huo Jilin's eyes lingered on the strange plants on the edge of the blood lake.

Those human-faced flowers.

They looked particularly strange in the dim firelight.

He turned to Qilian.

His eyes were filled with inquiry.

"These human-faced flowers."

"Can you cross the blood lake if you eat them?"

Huo Jilin's tone was calm but he felt a little uneasy.

Qilian nodded.

He answered expressionlessly.

"Yes."

"They allow you to breathe freely in the water."

Hu Bayi frowned.

"Is this thing safe? Will there be any side effects?"

Wang Kaixuan seemed to be driven by curiosity.

He approached a human-faced flower.

He observed it carefully.

"Don't say it."

"This thing looks scary!"

He couldn't help but mutter.

Huo Jilin thought for a moment and took a deep breath.

"We don't have time to waste."

Then he said.

He took the lead in picking a human face flower.

And put it into his mouth without hesitation.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan looked at each other.

The two also picked the human face flower and swallowed it.

After a few minutes.

Except for a slight feeling of nausea.

Nothing else happened.

Huo Jilin took the lead in entering the blood lake.

The cold liquid wrapped around his body.

But unexpectedly.

He did not feel suffocated.

Hu Bayi followed closely.

"It's really a ghost."

He muttered to himself.

Although Wang Kaixuan was trembling with fear.

But he finally plucked up the courage to jump into the blood lake.

The four began to swim to the center of the lake.

The underwater world was quiet and gloomy.

The blurred vision and oppressive environment made everyone feel uneasy.

But Huo Jilin remained calm.

He led the others underwater.

Just when Huo Jilin was about to swim to the place.

He suddenly felt his ankle being tightly grasped by a cold hand.

He was startled.

But there was no panic on his face.

Experience told him.

It was crucial to stay calm in this situation.

He quickly struggled to break free from the pale hand.

Then he turned around abruptly.

He looked in the direction of Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi.

The underwater vision was blurred.

But Huo Jilin could still make out the struggling figures of the two.

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi were also attacked by these hands.

They were desperately trying to get rid of those strange hands that seemed to stretch out from the abyss.

Huo Jilin crossed the gloomy and cold lake.

Quickly approached the two.

Wang Kaixuan saw Huo Jilin coming.

A trace of relief flashed in his eyes.

"Master Huo!"

He shouted loudly.

The voice sounded dull and distorted underwater.

"Don't panic! I'm coming!"

Huo Jilin responded.

Although the voice was swallowed by the water flow.

But still resolute.

After approaching them.

Huo Jilin accurately grabbed the arm wrapped around Hu Bayi's leg.

And twisted it hard.

Only a light "click" sound was heard.

The arm broke like a dead wood.

Hu Bayi took the opportunity to break free.

"Thanks to your timely arrival."

He cast a grateful look at Huo Jilin.

Then.

Huo Jilin turned to Wang Kaixuan's position.

Wang Kaixuan had been firmly grasped by several arms.

The whole person was about to be pulled into the deeper darkness.

Huo Jilin quickly took out the small dagger he carried with him.

Quickly cut off those arms that seemed to grow endlessly underwater.

"Thank God!"

Wang Kaixuan breathed a sigh of relief.

Nodding repeatedly to express gratitude.

The surroundings returned to calm again.

The three looked at each other.

Not too much damage.

There is no time to waste here.

Think about what these sudden things are.

Instead, choose to leave this creepy place as soon as possible.

Huo Jilin climbed up the shore first.

His movements were agile and steady.

Hu Bayi and Wang Kaixuan followed closely.

The three of them were panting.

Their shoulders were heaving.

It was obvious that the panic of escaping from the excavator in the water had not completely subsided.

"This place is really unlucky."

Wang Kaixuan wiped the water droplets on his face.

There was a tremor in his voice.

Hu Bayi adjusted his breathing.

His eyes were firm.

"We have come here."

"We can't just go back like this."

Huo Jilin nodded.

His eyes scanned the surroundings.

There seemed to be something hidden in the shadows by the lake.

He turned around.

He said to the two.

"Be careful."

"Let's keep going."

The three of them reorganized their equipment.

Walking carefully along the weedy shore.

Soon.

They sawArrived at the black box - it stood there quietly.

As if waiting for someone to unveil it.

However.

When they were only five meters away from the black box.

Huo Jilin suddenly stopped.

He frowned.

"Wait!"

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi also stood still alertly.

They followed Huo Jilin's gaze.

They saw the ground in front of them was covered with colorful venomous snakes.

These snakes were brightly colored and had strange patterns.

They coiled and hissed.

"Be careful!"

Hu Bayi warned in a low voice.

At this moment.

The venomous snakes suddenly became extremely excited as if they had sensed the breath of the invaders.

Dozens of venomous snakes quickly attacked them.

Huo Jilin responded calmly.

"Back off! Quickly!"

He ordered loudly.

The three immediately dispersed to find cover.

Huo Jilin pulled out the dagger he carried with him.

Used for self-defense or to drive away poisonous snakes when necessary.

Wang Kaixuan looked around nervously.

"There are too many snakes!"

"Don't let them bite you!"

Hu Bayi reminded.

And took out a small bottle from his pocket.

"I have serum."

"But not much."

Huo Jilin focused on observing the activity patterns of poisonous snakes.

"It seems that it is not easy to get close to the black box."

The three of them remained vigilant.

And tried to find a way to cross the area of ​​poisonous snakes without disturbing them.

But it was obviously not easy.

Huo Jilin's eyes were sharp.

He noticed a detail.

Those colorful poisonous snakes always avoided some plants with purple flowers when crawling.

This discovery made him move.

Maybe this is the key to crossing the snake group.

"Wait!"

Huo Jilin whispered to Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi.

"Look over there."

The two followed his instructions and looked.

Then they understood Huo Jilin's intention.

Huo Jilin quickly picked some plants with purple flowers.

He applied the juice on his exposed skin.

Then.

He took a deep breath.

He walked slowly towards the snakes.

Surprisingly.

Those venomous snakes that were hissing and ready to attack actually avoided Huo Jilin.

Wang Kaixuan and Hu Bayi saw this.

They hurriedly imitated Huo Jilin and used those plants to apply on their exposed skin.

"Hurry up!"

Huo Jilin urged.

The three moved cautiously.

It seemed that they were going to successfully pass through this dangerous area.

But at this moment.

A small snake with a bright red body and an unusually conspicuous color suddenly jumped out of the grass.

It shot straight at Wang Kaixuan like an arrow.

"Be careful!"

Hu Bayi shouted.

But it was too late.
