Chapter Twenty-Eight: The Lake Dilemma

After some more distance forward, it was completely dark, and the two men were trapped on a stake on the surface of the lake, unable to advance, retreat, or rest. If you stand on a stake all night, you must always keep your attention and not slack off, otherwise you will fall into the water at night, not to mention whether it will be watery, or you can freeze to death.

The two of them were already quite tired, and now they had to stay until dawn, and after dawn, they didn't know how long it would take to reach the shore. Qingxue regretted a little, shouldn't she be so greedy, she must come to this lotus village, and she was also tired of Leng Lone Star, he should be the most tired this afternoon, while carefully observing the formation, and on the other hand, he had to spare energy to keep the balance under his feet.

Qingxue looked at the lights in the distance, and in a trance returned to the time when her parents had just died, and she was the only one left in the world, and the feeling of loneliness and despair instantly surrounded her, and the wisps were tightly entangled, and the person who was strangled.

The body that was a little short of breath and had been standing firmly on the stake began to shake, and if one was not careful, it would fall directly into the water. Just when Qingxue was unstable, Leng Lone Star's cold voice came from not far away, "Are you okay"

With the cold moonlight, at the same time as the voice of the cold lone star came, the atmosphere around Qingxue's body was instantly broken, and his body stabilized, "I'm fine, don't worry." Are you okay too? ”

"I'm fine, let's eat something and rest first"

"Well, watch out for yourself"

About an hour later, a silver moon slowly rose, and although it was cold, it dispelled the gloom of darkness. Darkness deepens the sense of fear, and even though it is only a little more than an hour, it is like a day, a month, a long time, and now you can finally see things, and the feeling of joy cannot be described in words.

"Great, Brother Leng Shi, today is the night of the fifteenth full moon, I forgot, now the moon is so bright, let's try to see if we can continue to move forward" Qingxue's voice was filled with joy, and it also infected Leng Lone Star.

"Okay, let's try it" Leng Lone Xing looked at the position he had judged before it was completely dark, and flew up, but the wooden stake that landed was not easy to find, after all, the moonlight was no better than the daylight, even if it was bright, it was dark. But fortunately, although it took some effort, I finally found it. Leng Lonestar's operation was very risky, if he couldn't find the stake to settle down and couldn't go back to the previous stake, he would have to wait to fall into the water.

It's not that the two of them didn't expect to use light power to step on the lotus flower to cross the lake, but I don't know how much distance there is here, and the light skills of the two have not yet reached the level of 'stepping on the water', although Qingxue's light skills are slightly better, and there is no guarantee that such a long distance can be safe;

The most important thing is that the Lotus Village is good at trapping hidden weapons, and if you step on other lotuses, I don't know if any mechanism will be touched, which will be even more dangerous. The current practice is relatively reliable, but it is a test of people's willpower and physical strength.

Anyway, they couldn't rest at night, so the two of them simply kept jumping forward, although it was much slower than during the day, but it was better than standing stiff all the time, but the danger factor also increased.

Since Leng Lone Star was wearing a black dress, it was very difficult for Qingxue to find his location, although there was a general direction, but he had to go over and look for it carefully. Jumping and jumping, Qingxue suddenly laughed, "Brother Leng Shi, the two of us are flying around on this lake in the middle of the night, from a distance, it doesn't look like black and white impermanence?" After waiting for a long time, but not seeing Leng Lone Star answer over there, Qingxue thought that she had disturbed him, so she quickly shut up.

didn't know that Leng Lone Star over there heard her words, his face turned pale, and his eyes looked ahead blankly, as if he had fallen into some kind of fearful memory.

The red car that was speeding into it, the eyes were full of blood, the pungent smell of potions, the crying from afar, and the people in black suits and white coats were talking about something. The full picture came to his face, and the impacting cold lone star fell backwards on his back, forgetting where he was.

Just when he fell to the surface of the lake and did not fall into the water, he heard a woman's voice, although it was not loud, but it was like a thunder that woke him up, the cold lake water just rushed up, Leng Lone Star quickly held his breath, hooked his feet on the stake under his feet, and his body floated upwards and returned to the stake. Leng Lone Star gasped heavily, dripping water all over his body, his whole body was trembling, and even his teeth were chattering.

Leng Lone Star's thoughts were very chaotic, he seemed to be in another world just now, everything was so familiar, he felt that he belonged there, but he was forcibly stripped away.

My heart and blood ached, but I didn't know who to blame or blame.

Pain, resentment, confusion, fear, helplessness, all kinds of negative emotions occupy his thoughts, if it weren't for Qingxue calling him, he would definitely sink to the bottom of the lake. Thinking of this, he found that Qingxue was still calling him, and his voice became more and more anxious, so he hurriedly replied in a trembling voice, "I'm fine, my feet were unstable just now, and I fell into the lake, and now I'm fine, don't worry"

Qingxue was afraid of disturbing Leng Lone Star after speaking, so she quickly stopped, waited for a while, and still didn't see any movement over there, and heard the sound of lotus leaves being crushed, Qingxue was worried, so she asked, "Brother Leng Shi, what's wrong with you?" You okay? ”

Seeing that there was no reply, but the sound of a heavy object falling into the water came, Qingxue was even more anxious, but she didn't dare to rush over, so she could only shout anxiously, "Brother Leng Shi, Brother Leng Shi?" What happened to you? Lone Star, what's wrong with you? "I finally heard the reply from the other side, although my voice was a little trembling, but I could speak, I guess it was okay, and I was a little relieved.

Thinking that he just said that he fell into the lake, the lake is so cold, presumably he must be very sad now, but unfortunately he is so far away, and he can't send him some medicine to ward off the cold, so he can only continue to shout, "Brother Leng Shi, the lake is so cold, you put on a thick dress first, be careful if you are sick, do you have any medicine to ward off the cold?" If you have one, eat some first, be careful yourself, don't fall into the water again."

"Okay, I'll be careful myself, you don't have to worry," Leng Lone Star replied in a trembling voice. However, when I fell into the water just now, the whole person was submerged in water, and the burden that I had been carrying on my body was probably soaked in water a long time ago, so how could I have any clothes to change, and now I only have the strength to resist the cold air that enters the body.

Although he hadn't figured out what was going on, the cold air around him had already made Leng Lone Star completely sober, and he knew very well that he was still in a dangerous place now, and he had to concentrate and leave this place first.

After such a toss, by the time Leng Lone Star could really calm down and find a way, it was already midnight, the moon was slowly sinking in the west, and the moonlight was not as bright as just now, so it was even more difficult to find the way.

When the moon sank completely, the darkest hour came, Leng Lone Star had not moved on that stake for a long time, and Qingxue did not urge him, the closer he got to the village, the stronger the defense should be, and the more careful he should be when choosing a place to land. Now that the sky is completely dark, Qingxue knows that dawn is coming, and this long dark night is finally coming to an end, so she can't help but hold her breath in anticipation.

When the first ray of light appeared in the distant sky, the whole world instantly lit up, and Qingxue sighed at the magic of the world, making people usher in the brightest after the darkest.

When the day dawned, the surrounding things could be seen more clearly, and Qingxue first looked in the direction of the village, only to realize that they were not too far from the village. Looking at Leng Lone Star not far from the right front, his condition didn't seem to be very good, his face was blue, his lips were black, and his body shook slightly, he should have been cold last night.

There were no clothes on his body as she said, and Qingxue remembered that he was completely overboard, and his burden should have been wet, and there was no clothes to add, unlike when he didn't completely fall into the water yesterday, and the things in the bag were not wet. Secretly blamed himself for not thinking about it earlier, and complained a little that Leng Lone Star didn't say it earlier, but after thinking about it, even if he thought of it earlier, even if Leng Lone Star said it earlier, he couldn't help it.

The clothes on Leng Lone Star's body had dried out after the cold wind that had blown in the middle of the night, and although he was not in good condition, he was still observing his surroundings to find his way. Qingxue looked around, even if the time for him to learn the formation was still short, and he was not as deep as Leng Lone Star's research, but since he could come out of the peach blossom forest, of course he would definitely be able to find a way from here.

This way, although it was Leng Lone Star looking for the way, Qingxue had also been secretly observing, wanting to know more about the formation from Leng Lone Star's thinking, what formations were in the way here, how to break it, and I also figured out some in my heart.

Even if the next formations are different, but the ideas are always not far apart, Qingxue still has some confidence in finding a way to stay, so she said to Leng Lone Star, "Brother Leng Shi, you take a rest first, and I'll find the rest"

Leng Lone Xing felt that his head was very heavy, and his thoughts were a little confused, he knew that he had been standing on this stake for a long time, but what to do next, Chaotic's mind was a little unclear. Hearing Qingxue's words, Leng Lone Star nodded, thinking that Qingxue might not be able to see it from a distance, so he cleared his throat and replied, "Okay, but how do we switch places?"

"No, which position were you looking for? I'm going straight over to where you used to be."

"There are two" The two positions that Leng Lone Star stretched out his finger were in front of him, one was in front of his left, that is, directly in front of Qingxue; The other one was in front of him on the right, the farthest away from Qingxue, and needed to borrow from Leng Lone's current position.

"Which one do you think has the better chance?"

"I'm in front of the right side, it's too far away from you, so I'd better come."

Qingxue looked at the situation around her, thought about it for a while, and thought that the farther one had a better chance, so she returned to "No, when I go over in a while, you stretch your arm, I need to borrow force from your arm, you pay attention to maintaining balance, you adjust it first, okay, let's start"

Leng Lone Star adjusted his standing posture, stretched out his arms, adjusted his breathing, and then shouted, "Okay, let's start"

As soon as the word "good" Qingxue fell, the person had already jumped in the air, kicked on Leng Lone Star's arm, and walked towards the place that he had already looked forward to.

After yesterday afternoon and a night's use, Qingxue found that her light skills seemed to have improved. The sluggishness of use is gone, the whole body seems to be a lot lighter, and when you land on the lotus leaf to find a stake, your body is like a part of the lotus leaf, floating with the lotus leaf, and you don't have to do it deliberately.

By the time the two of them actually reached the shore, it was past breakfast time, and the sun had risen very high. Qingxue saw the last step, jumped over and went ashore, she was very excited, and shouted to Leng Lone Star behind her, "Brother Leng Shi, I'll go ashore first, you be careful" Without waiting for Leng Lone Star to answer, Qing Xue flew towards the shore, but she almost collided with someone, Qing Xue snorted lightly, her body twisted sharply to the right, and as soon as her feet hit the ground, she slid to the right with the momentum for more than a foot before she stabilized her body.
