On the mottled and dark bridge, Li Luo looked at the strange old woman who still kept her black dragon and water flag still in its original state, with a gloomy face.
Lu Ming and the other two also looked ugly.
Is that an alien?Lu Ming asked gritted his teeth.
There is no alien aura, but it does not seem to be real.Li Luo shook his head and said.
He was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly took the initiative to step forward and approached the old woman step by step. Seeing this, Lu Ming and the other two could only follow him with their teeth.
Young people, do you want to go out?The old woman was still asking questions with a smile.
Li Luo stared at her, his eyes flashed slightly, nodded, and replied: I want to.
When the old woman heard this, her eyes seemed to fluctuate, and the smile on her wrinkled face seemed to be vivid. She trembledly took out four bowls of black tea from her sleeve and placed it on the bridge pier in front of her.
Four bowls of tea, three bowls contain curses, one bowl is broken water, one bowl of each person, you can go out.The old woman said with a smile.
Who would drink these strange things!Lu Ming said angrily, and lightning blew out of her palm and blasted directly at the old woman's face.
The lightning blew by, and the old woman's face flowed down like mud. But after counting breaths, she quickly recovered and looked at the four of them with a smile.
Li Luo frowned and said: It seems to be some kind of special regular illusion formation. If it cannot be broken with force, then you can only walk according to the rules of the illusion.
Do you really want to drink Ah?Sun Dasheng shouted, his face full of resistance.
Ignore her and continue walking forward and take a look?Jing Taixu suggested.
Li Luo nodded. This was also a way of testing, so the four of them ignored the old woman, but bypassed her and continued to move forward.
But after walking like this for about a few minutes, their steps stopped, and at the same time, they looked at the strange old woman who appeared on the bridge in front of them with a ugly expression. They seemed to be in circles before.
The old woman looked at them with a smile: Young people, do you want to go out?
The faint sound echoed at the bridge, making people feel cold.
Lu Ming said dejectedly: No, I can't get out at all.
Dog thing, die for the master!
Sun Dasheng took out his iron stick irritably and smashed it at the old woman, but it was just a waste of effort. When he was panting, the old woman was intact again.
Jing Taixu was silent for a while. He stared at the four bowls of dark tea in front of the old woman and said: If it really doesn't work, just try it according to the rules of the illusion?
Among the four bowls, three bowls are curses, and the probability is too high.Lu Ming said.
But there is no other way. We can't always fall into the illusion. I always feel that if I keep waiting, there will probably be greater changes and dangers.Jing Taixu said in a deep voice.
Li Luo frowned. This kind of illusion probably came from the demon king of sentient beings. Faced with the means of an alien king, they naturally did not dare to underestimate it.
If they allow this to continue, there will inevitably be other more terrible dangers.
No matter what, it is the top priority to get out of this illusion as soon as possible.
If it really doesn't work, we can only try this path. Since the rules have been decided, it is unlikely to make changes. At that time, we will be cursed and go out to find partners, and have a chance to save them.Li Luo said slowly.
As he said that, he stretched out his hand and wanted to get a bowl.
But Lu Ming stopped him. She stared at Li Luo and said seriously: Even if you want to drink, you should be the last one. You are the strongest. If there is any change, you can still protect us. And if we are cursed at that time, you can find a way to help us recover.
Li Luo was silent.
Sun Dasheng also nodded and said with a smile: This is reasonable. Li Luo, if you fall into the trap, then we will have no backing.
Jing Taixu didn't say anything, but reached out to take the stone bowl directly, hesitated slightly, and finally gritted his teeth and poured it into his mouth.
As the tea entered the body, Jing Taixu soon saw black patterns spreading like insects on his palms, and at the same time spreading to his whole body at an extremely fast speed.
There is a curse in this bowl.Jing Taixu gritted his teeth and said.
Seeing this, Sun Dasheng also reached out to pick up a bowl of black tea and drank it all in one go.
Then soon, his exposed skin was covered with black patterns, which looked quite terrifying.
Obviously, this is also a bowl of cursed tea.
Damn, it's really unlucky.Sun Dasheng said cursingly.
When Lu Ming saw the two of them being hit one after another, he smiled and said: Then I just chose one of them. Maybe I'll drink water that broke the formation. The beautiful girl will not be lucky.
After the words came to her, she also reached out and picked up a bowl of black tea.
But when she was about to drink, Li Luo suddenly stopped her and frowned: The risk is a bit high, how about trying other methods?
Jing Taixu and Sun Dasheng were hit one after another, which made Li Luo’s heart feel haze. Is it really as simple as drinking four bowls of tea here?
Lu Ming stared at Li Luo and said seriously: There are indeed risks, but since we are trapped in it, we naturally need to try our best to find a way to break the formation. We also know that drinking this strange thing is dangerous, but there is no way. We need to try and make mistakes with ourselves and give you more opportunities.
Li Luo, you are our hope.
Lu Ming smiled playfully at Li Luo, then no longer hesitated, and drank the tea in his hand in one sip.
After drinking it, Lu Ming also looked at his slender and fair hands nervously, as if he hadn't seen the twisted black marks growing. He immediately breathed a sigh of relief and said happily: Is this bowl of broken formation water?
But immediately she felt that Li Luo and the other two were looking at their cheeks, and their hearts were immediately jumping.
What's the matter?Lu Ming asked nervously.
Li Luo was silent for a moment, and a water force rose in his palm, turning into a water mirror. Lu Ming looked at the person reflected inside. Black lines appeared on his originally beautiful and beautiful face, which looked very scary.
Apparently, she was cursed.
Lu Ming was stunned for a moment, but was not frightened, but instead waved his hand to disperse the water mirror with a sigh and said: The three of us can be considered to have tried poison. This last bowl should be the water that broke the formation, right?
Li Luo reached out to get the last bowl. He stared at the dark tea, but Jing Taixu's eyes were a little gloomy and said: "There are curses in the three bowls in a row, would it be too unlucky?"Or is it actually the four bowls are all curses?Its purpose is to let us drink it?
Dog stuff is so vicious?Sun Dasheng was furious and wanted to smash someone when he took out a stick.
Li Luo's eyes looked musing. Although this last bowl also contained risks, Lu Ming and the other two had already tried the poison for him personally, and he could not retreat at this time.
He picked up the tea and slowly pushed it to his mouth.
In his pupils, the wrinkled face of the strange old woman was reflected, and when the tea was a little far from Li Luo's lips, he suddenly stopped.
Some inspiration flashed in his heart.
Li Luo stared at the old woman and said slowly: Did you say before, each person has a bowl?
The old woman smiled kindly and said: Each person has a bowl.
Li Luo thought something, paused for a long time before saying: Then do you count?
Lu Ming and the other two were stunned when they heard this. What does Li Luo mean?
Li Luo slowly reached the bowl of black tea to the old woman's mouth and said to himself: No matter whether this bowl is a curse or a broken formation water, if you are asked to drink it, will it be the risk to be minimized?
If it is water that breaks the formation, you can naturally break the formation if you drink it. If it is a curse, then can you destroy it?And destroying you is a way to break the formation, right?
So, this last bowl... should actually be given to you?
The old woman still looked smiling and did not hide.
Lu Ming and the other two understood it and immediately said in surprise: Is this OK?
No one expected that the old woman in front of him was actually one of the tea drinkers?
Just try it out.Li Luo said, and then he poured the tea directly into the old woman's dark mouth, and the latter did not hide at all and let him do it.
The tea was poured down in the blink of an eye, and then the four of them stared at the old woman tightly.
The old woman smiled kindly, but after this kindness lasted for several breaths, it gradually became ferocious, and its body began to dissolve at this time.
In just a short moment, the old woman's body dissolved into a pool of viscous liquid, which eventually turned into black smoke and dissipated, and never recovered.
It's really destroyed?!When Lu Ming and the other two saw this scene, they immediately exclaimed.
Then the next moment, they felt the space around them began to twist, and the dark and mottled bridge under their feet gradually disappeared, and replaced by a street near the waterway, with dark river water flowing in the waterway next to them.
Judging from this, they seemed to have entered Kurosawa Water City at some point.
The illusion was broken?A look of surprise appeared in the eyes of the three of them.
Li Luo also breathed a sigh of relief and said: It seems that my guess is correct. The old woman is the way to go out. Four bowls of tea are just a cover. If we really drink all of them, we may not be able to go out. Maybe we will fall deeper.
The old woman is strange and with our strength, it seems that she cannot kill her. Only by relying on this tea can she get rid of it.
Then we won’t drink it in vain!Sun Dasheng was sad.
Lu Ming didn't care and said: It's not a waste of drinking. If we hadn't tested the three bowls of curse, perhaps Li Luo wouldn't have hit the old woman. After all, no one would have thought that she could drink tea.
Judging from the experiences of the three of them, the fourth bowl is likely to be a trap, so Li Luo finally found a correct way to crack it.
They were all forced out.
Li Luo was a little guilty. If he had thought of this earlier, Lu Ming and the others might not have had to try it out.
How are you now?It feels... Li Luo asked.
Before his speech could be completely finished, Li Luo's expression froze and his eyes became gloomy.
Because he watched helplessly, the eyes of the three people in front of him began to become confused at this time, and their bodies were actually expanding rapidly.
It was the skin on the surface of their bodies that was swelling, as if it was blown up, and the skin kept bulging, separated from the flesh and blood, and finally formed three round human skin lanterns.
Their heads were pressed against the top of the lantern, and their pupils were like pitch-black vortexes, falling into a deep sleep.
Then, the human skin lantern they transformed slowly rose into the air under Li Luo's gaze.
Lu Ming and the other two also looked ugly.
Is that an alien?Lu Ming asked gritted his teeth.
There is no alien aura, but it does not seem to be real.Li Luo shook his head and said.
He was silent for a few breaths, and suddenly took the initiative to step forward and approached the old woman step by step. Seeing this, Lu Ming and the other two could only follow him with their teeth.
