When all the black water landed, all those black shadows had fled back to the pool, Lan Susu and the others didn't care about what those black shadows and black water were, and hurriedly dragged Gongsun Qiu away from the pool, wanting to check his situation. Pen "Fun" Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gongsun Qiu was not injured, he was dragged by everyone, spit out a few mouthfuls of black water, and woke up immediately.

"Senior Brother Gongsun, are you okay?" Lan Susu asked tentatively.

"Fortunately, I was almost dragged to the bottom of the pool by that group of beasts just now." Gongsun Qiu sat up and said hatefully, his whole body was pitch black, and if he didn't open his eyes, he wouldn't even be able to distinguish his facial features.

"This black water on your body is not poisonous, so try to wash it down with water." Lan Susu was relieved to see that Gongsun Qiu was fine, as the team leader, she didn't want to see anyone in the team injured.

"Thank you for your concern." Gongsun Qiu took the water bag handed by Lan Susu and poured the water on top of his head, and the black water on his face was easily washed down.

"Senior Brother Gongsun, can you see what those things that were just attached to you?"

"I didn't see clearly, it was pitch black under the water, and as soon as I turned on the spirit stone lamp, I saw a cloud of black water rising up below and enveloping me in it, and then I was entangled by those slimy beasts. I untied the sinking stones at that time, and wanted to get rid of them and float up, but the group of beasts became more and more tightly entangled, I couldn't get rid of them, and I was almost dragged into the bottom of the pool. ”

"It wasn't me who saved my brother's life, it was Senior Brother Zhao who suggested that Senior Brother tie a rope when he went down to the pool, and it was also the result of the senior brothers and brothers helping together to pull the senior brother up in time." Lan Susu looked at Zhao Lengfei who was not far away and said.

Zhao Lengfei was studying what he had nailed to the ground with a flying knife at this time, it was a two-foot-long animal, with a huge head and eight tentacles, it looked like a black octopus, its head was pierced and nailed to the ground by the flying knife, and the eight tentacles covered with suction cups were still dancing.

This week, the tentacles of the animal rubbed on the ground, and soon revealed the translucent nature of its body, this is indeed an octopus, after the black water on its body was rubbed off, it immediately squirted some ink from its mouthparts to dye itself black again, and the rest of the team also set their eyes on this octopus at this time.

"Senior Brother Zhao, can you tell what kind of animal this is?" Lan Susu saw that this octopus didn't use any spiritual power fluctuations, it should just be an ordinary water beast, so he asked.

"I'm not too sure, it's probably an octopus."

"Octopus? What kind of fish is that? How I've never heard of it. ”

The octopus is an unpopular species in Dasheng country, and it can only be seen in coastal areas, and many people in the team have seen or heard of octopuses, and only Lan Susu has grown up in the outer gate since he was a child, and he has never seen or heard of the octopus.

"This ......" Zhao Lengfei was very strange how the animals in the sea could appear in this cold pool, and he didn't know how to explain it for a while, "The octopus is a strange fish with eight wrists and legs, and its appearance is similar to this one. ”

Gongsun Qiu was immediately angry when he saw this octopus, he walked over and didn't greet Zhao Lenghai, he drew his sword and was about to hack it to death, Zhao Lengfei also wanted to determine what kind of octopus this octopus was, of course Gongsun Qiu would not be allowed to do this, he immediately drew his sword and stopped Gongsun Qiu's sword.

"What do you do?" Gongsun Qian saw Zhao Lengfei draw his sword to block him, and asked angrily.

"What do I do? I think I should have asked you what to do first? ”

"Humph! Of course, I killed the beast that had harmed me. ”

"I caught this octopus, and it's rude for you to want to kill it without my permission." Zhao Lengfei saw that Gongsun Qiu was still so arrogant and domineering, and he was annoyed in his heart.

He has avoided Gongsun Qiu everywhere, but the other party is still so ignorant of advancing and retreating, he is wondering if he is too merciful, if he doesn't say a word to remind him just now, this Gongsun Qiu may be buried at the bottom of the pool.

"If you don't kill this beast, do you still want to raise it and continue to hurt other senior brothers and brothers, what kind of heart do you have?"

"Idiot, it's hopeless." Zhao Lengfei really couldn't think of a more suitable word to describe Gongsun Qiu.

"Who do you say is an idiot, I see you shitty looking for death."

Gongsun Qiu raised his sword to stab Zhao Lenghai, but coldly caught a sword behind him.

"If you dare to say a bad word about Senior Brother Zhao again, I will definitely kill you." Mu Xizi raised his sword against Gongsun Qiu's heart, and said coldly.

Mu Xizi was hindered by her own cultivation strength, and rarely expressed her opinions in the trial, she was the person with the weakest sense of existence in this team, she regarded Zhao Lengfei as her own brother, and saw Gongsun Qiu repeatedly asking Zhao Lengfei for trouble, and finally couldn't help but explode.

The woman in the anger was really terrifying, Mu Xizi's tone of voice was terrifyingly cold, and the rest of the team heard that Mu Xizi was really angry, if Gongsun Qiu really dared to say one more word, Mu Xizi would definitely stab the sword out without hesitation.

"Don't be impulsive, Senior Brother Gongsun, how can you talk like this, have you forgotten that it was Senior Brother Zhao who saved your life just now." Lan Susu hurriedly said, she and Gongsun Qiu are both young beginners, grew up in the outer door, she sees that the two have known each other for many years before they will speak to Gongsun Qiu several times, in fact, Lan Susu is very dislike Gongsun Qiu's character, and she has even been a little disgusted with Gongsun Qiu's behavior of talking and doing things without thinking recently.

Lan Susu gently grasped Mu Xizi's wrist to grasp the sword, she sensed the true qi that was ready to be released in the other party's meridians, and knew that what Mu Xizi just said was serious, so she hurriedly made a color to let Cao Yu, Han Qi and the others separate Zhao Lengfei and Gongsun Qiu.

"Senior sister, put down the sword, if you have something to say."

"Humph!" Mu Xizi glared at Gongsun Qiu and slowly put away his sword.

Gongsun Qiu saw that Lan Susu had been looking at him, and he was embarrassed to say anything, so he put away his sword.

Zhao Lengfei didn't bother to be angry with Gongsun Qiu anymore, after all, the matter was important, he took out a pair of gloves from the storage bag and put them on, and then picked up the octopus along with the flying knife nailed to the ground.

He grabbed the octopus's head and the junction of his wrist and feet, took it to the front and looked at it closely, the octopus was stabbed in the head, but there was no sign of death, it wrapped its wrists and feet around Zhao Lengfei's arm, and it became tighter and tighter.

Zhao Lengfei pulled the flying knife out of the head of the octopus, the octopus didn't seem to even feel pain, he didn't struggle, he put the flying knife into the storage bag, took out the water bag by the way, and poured it on the octopus.

As soon as the ink on the octopus was washed off a little, the octopus struggled violently and sprayed a large stream of ink into the sky, Zhao Lengfei had already prepared, so he was not splashed black, but the octopus in his hand was dyed black.

Zhao Lengfei poured water on the octopus's head again, and the octopus struggled to spray ink again, and after several times in a row, there was no more ink to spray in the octopus's mouth, and after the ink on its body was washed away, the translucent body was revealed.

After revealing its true colors, the octopus struggled desperately as if it had been stimulated by something, and after a few struggles, it went limp, and it died.

"It turns out that there really is this kind of octopus." Zhao Lengfei muttered to himself.

He threw the octopus carcass in his hand and looked at the cold pool again, when the ink in the pool had begun to settle, and the surface had become clear again, and there were some translucent octopus wrist and foot stumps floating on the water.

"What can Senior Brother Zhao see?" Everyone was paying attention to Zhao Lenghai's every move, and Han Qi couldn't help but ask when he saw Zhao Lengfei throw away the octopus corpse and shift his gaze to Hantan.

"I only saw that the octopus just now was a cold blind octopus."

"Cold-blind octopus? , is it a monster? ”

"It wasn't just now, but the cold-blind octopus can indeed evolve into a demon beast, and there is likely to be a demon-level cold-blind octopus in this pool." Zhao Leng said.

There are very few records about the cold-blind octopus, Zhao Lengfei has only seen it in the "Xingxiu Guyang Miscellaneous Records", the cold-blind octopus is a social marine creature, born in the depths of the ice sea, can not see the sun, and will soon die when it sees the sun, the cold-blind octopus likes to collect things with aura to build holes, and lives in a nest with strong aura for a long time, and the probability of evolving into a demon beast is naturally very high.

Zhao Lengfei couldn't understand why the creatures in the depths of the ice sea appeared here, the cold blind octopus not only likes to collect things with aura, but also likes to devour food with aura, eighty percent of the cold algae in the pool will be used as food by the cold blind octopus, and the white stone may also be taken by it to build a nest, and the cultivator is a big meal in their eyes, even if there is no monster-level cold blind octopus in the cold pool, it is extremely difficult to go down to the pool to collect cold algae and white stone.

"Senior Brother Zhao has thought of a way to deal with this octopus or not go down to the pond to obtain cold algae and white stone?" Lan Susu saw that Zhao Lengfei seemed to have an idea, so he asked.

"Senior sister thinks too highly of me, I haven't thought of anything for the time being, I see that it's not too early, it's better to get here today and find a way tomorrow."

"It's okay, today is going up and down the mountain, and I'm afraid you brothers are also lacking, so let's rest in the open space on the bank of the river for one night."

Seeing that no one objected, Lan Susu said to Mu Xizi again: "Senior Sister Mu, how about we go to the lower reaches of this river to search and inspect together?" ”

"Uh, okay." Mu Xizi was stunned, she didn't know why Lan Susu asked her to go with her today, but she still agreed.

Mu Xizi used to have some opinions about Lan Susu, but after getting along for a few days, she felt that Lan Susu was just arrogant, not a bad person, and Gongsun Qiu was not the same kind of person at all, there were only two women in the team, she and Lan Susu, and the relationship would naturally gradually get closer.

"Then please trouble all the senior brothers and sisters to sort out the open space, and before Senior Sister Mu and I come back from the search and inspection, I hope you don't walk around, in case you encounter danger."

Gongsun Qiu saw that Lan Susu, who had been teaming up with him on weekdays, actually chose to go on patrol with Mu Xizi today, and he was a little unhappy in his heart, and said: "There are a lot of monsters in this mountain, although Senior Sister Lan has more than enough self-protection, but it is a little insufficient to protect others, I think it is better for me to accompany Senior Sister Lan to inspect." ”

"Thank you Senior Brother Gongsun for your kindness, Senior Brother has just gone down to the pond and is in distress, so I should rest more, and I won't ask Senior Brother for help in today's inspection." Lan Susu politely declined.

"Senior sister, don't worry, I'm fine, I'm the best at patrolling, I think it's better for me to accompany my junior sister."

"It's really not necessary, senior brother is here to rest and wait for us to come back."

Zhao Lengfei could see from Lan Susu's tone and expression that she was looking for Mu Xizi to inspect what she was for, the team stayed together all day, Lan Susu and Gongsun Qiu had a lot of things to do, so they naturally had to find a reason to avoid everyone and stay alone for a while.

When he saw that Gongsun Qiu wanted to persuade him again, he really couldn't look at it, so he put his hand on Han Qi's shoulder and said sourly: "Other girls want to take a bath and change clothes, what they are most afraid of is that men peek at it, there are actually people who are cheeky and want to follow, am I drunk and dazzled?" ”

Han Qi, Cao Yu and the others didn't understand why Lan Susu called Mu Xizi to go on patrol at first, and they reacted after listening to Zhao Lenghai's words, and they all burst out laughing.

Seeing that his intentions were broken by Zhao Leng, Lan Susu's face turned red, and he took Mu Xizi's hand and said, "Senior sister, let's go." After she finished speaking, she didn't wait for Gongsun Qiu to continue to speak, and ran away without looking back.

"Senior Brother Zhao is really discerning, it can be seen that Senior Brother admires you to death, it seems that we will be able to save a lot of worry when we chose Senior Brother Zhao as the captain." Cao Yu quipped.

"Senior Brother Cao, don't make fun of me, it's not too early to see that it's too early, and I just don't want them to be delayed anymore." Zhao Lengfei scratched his head and smiled awkwardly.

"How can I make fun of you, I'm just telling the truth, senior brothers and sisters, let's go and clean up the open space by the river, and take advantage of the absence of the junior sisters, and wash it well." Cao Yu said.

Lan Susu and Mu Xizi waited until it was dark to come back, the two really changed into a new set of clothes, and carefully groomed and dressed up, they talked and laughed after they came back, as if they had become good friends, and they were closest to each other during the night's rest.

Zhao Lengfei was quite happy to see this, he had been worried that Mu Xizi and Lan Susu would not get along, although he took care of Mu Xizi carefully, but some things were still not very convenient, Mu Xizi and Lan Susu were closer, and it was good for them.

Early the next morning, everyone gathered around Hantan again to discuss the method of collecting cold algae and white stone.

"Haven't you figured it out? Although we only need to collect 30 of the 40 trial materials, the later materials may be more difficult to collect, and it is too unsafe to give up two at the beginning. Lan Susu, as the captain, saw that everyone didn't speak, so he had to be the first to speak.

Gongsun Qiu's eyes rolled, and he said in a strange manner: "Although I didn't succeed in collecting twice yesterday, I tried it myself, unlike some people who will point fingers on the side, but now I don't even dare to try." ”

"Senior Brother Gongsun, you can't say that, everyone has seen the danger in the pool yesterday, so we should think about it in the long run, if you can't think of a perfect solution today, I don't agree with anyone to take risks."

Lan Susu learned a lot of information about Zhao Lengfei from Mu Xizi yesterday, and her opinion of Zhao Lengfei changed a little, and she saw Gongsun Qiu mocking Zhao Lenghai, so she hurriedly stopped it.

Zhao Lengfei knew that Gongsun Qiu was talking about himself, so he smiled and said, "Since everyone can't think of a way, then I'll go down to the pond and give it a try." ”

Zhao Lengfei said this not to be angry with Gongsun Qiu, the other party is not worth his doing, he is low-key and low-key, but he does not hide clumsiness at the critical moment, as a member of the team, he still has to contribute when it is time to contribute. Zhao Lengfei is eight or nine points sure that he will return safely from the bottom of the pool, as for the green algae and white stone that cannot be picked, he does not force it, just do his best.

"Brother, don't be rash, didn't you say that the cold blind octopus likes to like to collect and swallow things with aura, the cold algae and white stone in the pool are probably not much, and the hope of collecting them is slim, and it is not worth your risk to go down to the pool." Mu Xizi persuaded.

"Sister, don't worry, I'm not a reckless person, since I dare to go down to the pool, there is a way to return safely from the pool, as for whether to pick up the cold algae and white stone, it all depends on the will of God."

"But I still don't think it's right, why don't we try it with a rope hook again? We can find a way to get the hook to stick to the wall of the pool after entering the water, and maybe we can hook something. ”

"Even if I can't collect cold algae and white stone in the pond this time, I can be sure whether there are these two materials on the wall of the pool, and if there are really them, it is not too late to find a way to hook them with ropes."

Zhao Lengfei said, and took out several diving equipment from the storage bag, including diving goggles, gas cylinders, fins, etc., which he found someone to customize in Xuanyin City, although it is not as good as the high-tech products on the earth, but it is still okay to make do.

"Senior brothers, who have a spirit stone lamp, the brighter the better, I have to make it clear, this spirit stone lamp will stay in the pool, I definitely can't bring it back."

The spirit stone lamp is a commonly used item, everyone has it, but its price is expensive, not everyone is willing to take it out, only Mu Xizi, Han Qi, Cao Yu and Lan Susu in the team took out their spirit stone lamp.

"Thank you, if there is another harvest under the pool, we will divide it equally when we come back." Zhao Lengfei said, took off the hoodie and thorn armor on his body, and quickly put it into the storage bag, he didn't want others to see that he was wearing a ground armor.

Taking off the storage bag around his waist and handing it to Mu Xizi, Zhao Lengfei took off his last shirt and shoes, wearing only a pair of single pants, he hung a sunken stone and a floating bag around his waist with the help of Mu Xizi, and put on his own diving equipment.

"Brother, you don't tie a rope?" Mu Xizi saw that Zhao Lengfei was about to go into the water, and asked hurriedly.

"No, it's inconvenient to have a rope tied to it."

"Isn't it too dangerous, what should you do if you encounter a cold blind octopus?"

"I'm not stupid, how can I be entangled by those little things, sister, don't worry." Zhao Lengfei said as he poured some pool of water on his body, the water in the cold pool was cold and biting, Rao was strong and strong, and his hairs stood up from the cold.

When Gongsun Qiu heard this, he sneered and said, "Do you want to come up if you want to find a place to hide in the shallow part of the pool, no wonder you may not be able to pick anything up if you say it in advance?" ”

Zhao Lengfei glanced at Gongsun Qiu, did not speak, he wet his whole body, and then jumped into the pool.
