Chapter 92: Water Ghost
Hearing what the red-haired mouse said, Ling Fan also felt that it was reasonable. This Hujiang Town obviously has some history. The cultivators who have lived in this Hujiang Town for a long time naturally have experience and know what about Hujiang.
There is an iron ore mine at the location.
But having said that, where there are iron ore mines, many cultivators have already gathered there. If they get involved, it will inevitably cause disputes, and there may even be robberies. Ling Fan, who has been reborn, now begins to cherish his own life more and more.
Shengsheng has just begun to break into the world of cultivation. Obviously, he cannot easily make enemies.
It's not that Ling Fan is afraid, but, with the current state of the skeleton body, if it is exposed, how can he stay in the world of cultivation with peace of mind in the future?
Therefore, Ling Fan still insisted on searching for a more remote part of the Hujiang River. Even if there were few iron ore mines there, at least no one would compete with him and share the pie.
When Ling Fan stayed away from human traces and came to a relatively calm water area in the Hujiang River, Ling Fan decided to look for iron ore in the nearby waters.
However, the Hujiang River seemed calm. However, no matter how Ling Fan used his spiritual sense to detect it, he felt that there was something in the water that interfered with his spiritual sense, so that the range he could detect was limited to one meter underwater.
"Little guy, what's going on? My spiritual consciousness exploration range seems to have been shortened!" Ling Fan asked in surprise.
"It's not that your detection range has been reduced, but that the water quality of the Hujiang River is special. On the surface, the water in the Hujiang River is no different from other water, but if you look carefully, you will find that the water in this river is rich in metal elements, which is exactly
It is because of the existence of these metal elements that it hinders your spiritual exploration. If there is no obstacle and it is clear at a glance, then why do those casual cultivators who are looking for iron ore have to go into the water to find it themselves?" the red-haired mouse explained.
"Oh!" Ling Fan said as if he was like this. After all, since there are iron ore mines under the Hujiang River, it is normal that the amount of metal elements contained in the water is higher than that of ordinary water.
Therefore, Ling Fan hesitated for a moment, and then prepared to jump into the Hu River to search for iron ore like other cultivators. But when he saw Ling Fan about to enter the water, the red-haired mouse immediately stopped him and said: "Ling Fan, wait a minute.
!”
"Uh...what?" Ling Fan couldn't help but be startled when he heard this.
The red-haired mouse did not respond first, but got out of Ling Fan's arms, then slid to the shore, raised its ears, and kept sniffing.
Seeing the red-haired mouse looking so serious, Ling Fan felt something was wrong. After just a long time, the red-haired mouse didn't respond. Ling Fan couldn't help but said impatiently: "Little guy, what are you doing?"
The red-haired mouse stared at the Hu River for a long time, and then like a human being, it folded its hands and began to think.
"Ling Fan, I am naturally incompatible with water, so I cannot explore the bottom of the water deeply. However, as I said before, there are no iron ore mines in places where there are no human traces, or there are dangers nearby. And this area is so calm, and the water flow
There’s no rush, logically there should be a lot of people here looking for it, or maybe this area has already been developed and excavated.” The red-haired mouse analyzed.
"Damn it! I've been rambling for a long time, talking about useless things. Since spiritual consciousness can't detect it, how can we catch the tiger's den if we don't enter the tiger's den?" Ling Fan thought that the red-haired mouse had discovered something, but now it seems,
After struggling for a long time and finding nothing, Ling Fan was speechless.
After speaking, Ling Fan jumped up and with a pop, he jumped into the Hu River.
"Hoo! What are you so anxious about? I haven't finished speaking yet. I feel like there are some strange beasts in the nearby waters..." the red-haired mouse said hurriedly.
However, Ling Fan had already submerged under the water, and his spiritual consciousness could not penetrate the water of the Tiger River, let alone his voice. Naturally, Ling Fan did not hear the second half of the red-haired mouse's words.
When Ling Fan dived into the Hujiang River, there was not much difference in the water quality from the surface. However, after diving two meters, Ling Fan felt that the water quality around him was particularly rough. Wandering in the water, he obviously felt a strong sense of pressure.
The deeper you go, the greater the pressure becomes, and even flowing water seems like solid material squeezing itself.
Coupled with the turbid water, Ling Fan's spiritual consciousness has now been compressed to less than half a meter. And the deeper he dives, the spiritual consciousness continues to be compressed. If he dives to the bottom of the water, he may not be able to use his spiritual consciousness.
In addition to spiritual consciousness, staying in the water also consumes a lot of physical strength. After all, you have to resist the pressure in the water at all times. If your physical strength is exhausted for a long time, you may really drown in the Hu River.
Ling Fan, who has never known the Hujiang River, is really in trouble right now. Not only can he find the iron ore, but also whether he can stay in the water safely is still a question. But now, the visibility is almost zero, let alone
How to find iron ore?
"Holy crap! How do other people find iron ore?" At this time, Ling Fan asked himself in confusion.
In fact, other cultivators do use tools when looking for iron ore. Better cultivators have metal detection magic weapons, while poor casual cultivators at least have ordinary detectors, such as magnets. But Ling Fan has nothing.
After understanding the situation, I thought there were iron ore deposits everywhere under the Hujiang River.
Just when Ling Fan was at a loss, the surrounding water pressure suddenly changed. Ling Fan's whole body trembled as he was in the water.
"This...?" Ling Fan was surprised by the sudden change. After all, the surrounding waters had always been calm before entering the water. Changes in water pressure can only mean that the water level has changed.
But how can the calm water layer surge?
Ling Fan couldn't figure out the situation here, but the surge there was getting more intense, making it difficult for Ling Fan to control his balance. In addition, the water quality was as stiff as the real thing. In this state, Ling Fan felt as if he was being constantly hit by something.
Pushing is normal.
Ling Fan, who felt something was wrong, did not hesitate at all. He stepped on the water with his legs and prepared to float to the surface. However, after rising less than two meters, Ling Fan felt that his right foot seemed to be caught by something.
I wanted to lower my head and take a look, but the next moment, the thing that caught me started to pull my right foot and drag it into the water.
"Holy shit! Water ghost?" If he was just tripped, Ling Fan might have thought it was a water plant or other dead branches that sank into the Hujiang River. But now, not only was he tripped but he was also pulling down hard, so he was definitely hitting the water.
Ghost.
There is a rumor in the world that there are usually "water ghosts" in the water. Anyone who encounters a water ghost usually feels that he is entangled by the water ghost, and then sinks into the water until death. Those who survive are lucky enough to escape.
All of them said that they were being pulled by something inexplicable, and now that Ling Fan was encountering this situation, he naturally thought of the water ghost.
The red-haired mice on the shore also felt the changes under the water. After all, the originally calm water surface was now turbulent. And it was impossible for the red-haired mice to think that Ling Fan was capable of causing such a big change.
It came out. Since it was not Ling Fan, it must have been caused by external forces.
