Chapter 275: Sunken Lake
Cao Yang, who chose to jump into the lake, didn't know the choice of these old men. He did jump into the lake, but he didn't sink completely into the lake. Instead, he stopped at the range of 30% of the blood lake that was stained with ghost blood.

This was the first time Cao Yang had opened such a large ghost blood den. In this ghost den, the water ghost den also existed. The two ghost dens did not repel each other or suppress one side. Instead, the ghost blood forcibly encircled a part of the lake water, and the water ghosts existed in this lake water.

This relationship is very subtle. Cao Yang has thought about directly controlling part of the lake water, but it is obvious that he can't do it because the ghost blood cannot spread completely and permeate most of the ghost lake.

"How can there be anyone under the blood lake?"

Cao Yang thought of this sentence again. He already had these two points: the wind was thriving and the world was in his pocket. The ghost wind could blow the water to form huge waves and waves, and the human skin pocket was suspected to be in a deep state of freezing. It was very quiet in the last few times it was used, and there was no abnormality.

"Whether it's Old Qin or the peddler, they all pointed the finger at Ghost Lake, so I, Cao Yang, do have a deep connection with Ghost Lake. It's not an exaggeration to say that Ghost Lake is a calamity that Cao Yang can't avoid."

Cao Yang's body was rising and falling in the blood lake. This place was both ghost blood and a ghost lake, as well as a den of water ghosts. The superposition of these three mysterious places meant that a large number of ghosts were about to appear.

But the result seemed not to be the case. The blood lake was quite calm, with only a few ripples occasionally. No supernatural phenomena occurred at other times. This was very abnormal.

"There seems to be a delicate balance between the blood, the lake, and the water. Each ghost den is blocking the exit of another ghost den, resulting in no ghosts appearing until now."

But Cao Yang is very patient and he has plenty of time to observe the situation here.

This unusual calm lasted for about two hours, and then bubbles began to emerge from the blood lake, as if something was about to come out.

"Wow——!"

After another three or five minutes, something finally emerged from the water and was shaking and swaying on the blood lake.

It was a rotten dead head, with only half of a pale, swollen face left, and the eyes and teeth were incomplete.

"A dead head?"

The Blood Lake is Cao Yang's ghost den. This part of the ghost lake is obviously not as strong as the double suppression of ghost blood and water ghosts, so Cao Yang can clearly feel everything in the ghost den.

Cao Yang had seen many dead heads, but he felt that this one was strangely familiar.

"Wow——!"

Another voice appeared, interrupting Cao Yang's thoughts.

This time, pale limbs appeared, and they came from the same corpse. It was strange that they had been soaked in water for a long time without rotting or becoming swollen.

"Water ghost!"

I remembered it now. Cao Yang remembered everything.

That was the third supernatural incident he had handled, and also the first butterfly effect he triggered after traveling through time - the floating corpse ghost incident in Daji City. The source ghost of this incident was a water ghost.

Old Qin arranged for Zhang Mu to replace Lin Shan and control the ghost, but later Zhang Mu was chosen as a sacrifice by Wang Xiaoming, and the water ghost was also sent to him to balance the ghost blood.

"It doesn't matter whether it's Lin Shan or Zhang Mu, who controls the water ghost, because they will not affect Yang Jian's eventual transformation into Yang Jian. And the reason why Mr. Qin changed people, maybe it was just a whim?" "Forget it, there's no point in thinking about it."

Cao Yang forced himself to pull his thoughts back. No matter what path he took, the future of 99% of the people in this world except Yang Jian would be as dark as this cold ghost lake. There would be no hope, only sinking and falling, and evil spirits that could appear at any time.

Ghosts cannot be killed. In other words, the only ones who will die are humans, more and more ordinary people, and more and more ghost riders.

Aliens can also die, and after the emotions and consciousness of the living are completely eroded, they can even cause a lot of trouble, because they themselves are fully resurrected ghosts.

At this moment, Cao Yang started a deal for himself without hesitation, exchanging "Cao Yang's" life for an opportunity to control the Ghost Lake.

Words are spoken and laws are followed. A ghost represents a rule, and the ghost peddler represents a higher level of trading rules.

To gain the greater benefit with the smaller one, life is not important at all to Cao Yang now, because there are countless ghost slaves in the memory world who can die for him, and each ghost slave can be replaced at any time to some extent and become the real him.

In a sense, this can also be called a reboot.

The moment the transaction was established, the cold lake water outside the Blood Lake instantly broke through the Ghost Blood's defense line and quickly poured into the Blood Lake like a flood breaking through a dam.

The gravity of the Ghost Lake is increasing, and the corresponding ghost blood and water ghosts' suppressing spiritual power are gradually being diluted. It won't be long before the Ghost Lake will gain the upper hand, and Cao Yang will truly sink into the Ghost Lake.

Three minutes later, the lake surface turned dark again. The cold water exuded an astonishing chill, almost making the blood in the body freeze instantly.

However, in this dark area, the lake water in a fixed area appeared light red, like diluted blood. Moreover, the lake water looked a little turbid, as if it was mixed with some foreign matter.

At the deepest part, a figure was still oozing smelly and sticky blood. The amount had already exceeded that of a living person, but he had no intention of stopping.

Cao Yang's body was sinking rapidly, and the water he passed by was soon dyed red by the ghost blood, and then quickly diluted and faded.

Soon, Cao Yang had sunk to a very deep position, where there were many scattered and mutilated corpses. They were ordinary people who died in the Ghost Lake, and there were a lot of them.

Cao Yang felt as if he was walking through a group of floating corpses. Their pale, swollen skin and hollow, white eyes made one's scalp tingle.

However, this was only the first layer. There were some scattered corpses floating in the lake on the second layer. These corpses were not many, and they were the corpses of some ghost riders. Cao Yang also saw a corpse wearing the uniform of a person in charge. That was Cheng Hao, the person in charge of Zhongzhou City, but he had been dead for a long time.

The further down you go, the colder the lake water becomes, and the stronger the suppression on the ghost in your body becomes. This is a place where light cannot reach, it is dark, even if Cao Yang gets a ghost eye, he can only barely see a few meters around him.

However, Cao Yang continued to sink. The third layer was filled with real ghosts. The corpses were intact, just like when they had just died. Their bodies had not turned white or rotted from being soaked. It seemed that they were just sleeping and there was a possibility of waking up.

"It's over."

This is the fourth level, the deepest part of the Ghost Lake. His entire body has become cold and stiff. Even the body of this evil ghost cannot completely resist this suppression.

“I saw it. The coffin.”
