Volume 1 The Gathering of the Storm Chapter 18 The Strange Girl

"Hustle...... Listen ...... Words?"

The voice in his ears called urgently, waking up the fainting hustle and bustle.

The humming sound under the water seemed to still linger in my ears, and after the tinnitus gradually disappeared, Feng Huan rubbed the corners of his forehead and slowly sat up.

Yunyan on the side hurriedly supported him.

"Hustle, are you alright?"

Yunyan was soaked all over his body, and his face was not very good, obviously it took a lot of effort to rescue him from underwater.

Feng Huan just wanted to open his mouth to answer, opened his mouth, and coughed out a few mouthfuls of water first. I was afraid that Yunyan would be worried, so I hurriedly waved my hand: "It's okay, it's okay." ”

"That's good. Yunyan breathed a sigh of relief.

When he calmed down a bit, Feng Huan noticed that there was a silver-haired girl with a lantern standing beside him.

The girl was also drenched in water, and the long skirt on her body was clinging to her skin, outlining her slender figure.

Probably seeing that he was awake, the girl bent down slightly, pulled her long dripping hair behind her ears, and leaned forward with the lamp in her hand, as if to confirm his status.

Feng Huan saw her face clearly at this time.

She has a pair of blue eyes, and at a glance she only feels distant and mysterious, not like ordinary things. With willow eyebrows and warbler lips, lined by her ice muscles, it is even more forgettable.

Feng Huan also noticed that she had a small part of her hair braided and her nails neatly trimmed, thinking that she should be a person who lived exquisitely.

When he silently exclaimed, the clouds and smoke around him first let out a soft "ah" and said, "It's so beautiful." ”

The girl's hand shook visibly, and she slanted her gaze to see Yunyan looking at her.

And Yunyan, who realized that his words were too abrupt, lowered his head and stuck out his tongue.

Seeing Yunyan's reaction, Feng Huan couldn't help but laugh.

"I can laugh and have a sense of autonomy, so it seems that there is no big problem. The girl straightened up and said with a cold face, "If you don't live long, don't go into the water again, there is something under it that must not wake up." ”

It's already night, and I've just soaked in ice water, and after listening to the girl's tone of voice, I can't help but shiver.

A moment ago, he said that the girl was out of the world, but now he only thinks that she is a cold and glamorous female ghost in the water.

After the girl finished speaking, she had no intention of continuing to communicate, and raised her feet to leave.

"Girl, wait a minute!" Storm hurriedly got up from the ground and called to her, "Listen to your tone, you know what is under the water?"

The girl stopped, but did not look back, only slightly sideways her face, and said in surprise: "You seem to be from Rongcheng, but you haven't heard the legend of the guardian war beast?"

The two of them glanced at each other, and both shook their heads suspiciously.

This girl has blue eyes and her hair color is not black, so she should be from the Western Continent.

A person from the Western Continent knows so much about the legends of the remote towns in the Eastern Continent? Moreover, the legend in her mouth has never been heard of by Yunyan, who has lived in Rongcheng for 16 years.

The girl's blank reaction was obviously not expected by the girl. She paused thoughtfully, then turned around.

"I don't know if there's anything underneath the water, but if it does, it may have something to do with the legend of the Guardian War Beast. The girl said slowly, "Legend has it that the war beast of an ancient god is an aquatic demon beast that evolved to give birth to spiritual intelligence, and after the ancient god disappeared, the war beast sealed itself somewhere in the Northern Stygian Sea, and its guardian power still protects the nearby creatures. I went to your school in Rongcheng to see it, and the environment there is very suitable for martial artists to cultivate, so I thought about it, could it be the war beast of the ancient gods sealed under this. ”

Feng Huan thought that she would say something exciting and new, but it turned out that after talking for a long time, it was still just a guess.

"In short, if it's really a war beast under the water, if you wake up—" The corners of the girl's mouth curled slightly, and her tone was mysterious, "I can't tell...... Temper tantrums. ”

She glanced at the wind and turned again.

For this girl who appeared on the beach inexplicably in the middle of the night, although Feng Huan had all kinds of doubts in his heart, it seemed inappropriate to pull a stranger to interrogate him all the time.

In the end, he just shouted at the girl's back: "You saved me just now, thank you yet!"

"It's just a good deal. ”

The girl's footsteps did not stop, leaving only this sentence without any tone, and in an instant it was already a long distance.

"What a speed!" Seeing this scene, the two blurted out at the same time.

"She looks the same age as you and me, and she's very close to each other. Feng Huan looked at Yunyan and said curiously, "You guys fished me up together, do you know where she came from?"

"I recognized your lamp shark from afar, and when I swam closer, I realized that there was another person in the water. I should have asked you first, you don't know where she came from?" Yun Yan said with a bit of anger in his words.

Feng Huan's heart is so bad that he almost forgot that he went to the sea alone to explore the distress, and he hasn't explained it to Yunyan yet.

"Let's not talk about the girl, that's not the point. Feng Huan hurriedly made up for it, "I'm sorry, Yunyan, I just wanted to ...... out tonight."

"Let me guess?" Yunyan interrupted Wind Hustle's explanation, pacing around him.

From the beginning of Feng Huan's sudden and frequent search for Ning Hezhi, what books he read, what drawings he draw, what he investigated when he stayed in the school field after training on weekdays, and how he deduced according to the clues he found, Yun Yan said everything, and even the results of Feng Huan's inference, she said that the score was not bad.

Is this in my head?

"It's good that I couldn't sleep in the middle of the night, and I stumbled upon you not in the room, and guessed that you wanted to explore the sea again. Otherwise...... It's really going to be a big mess. Yunyan sighed lightly twice, and said angrily, "Actually, you can tell me, I won't stop you, let's come over together, and we can take care of each other." ”

"It's me who is too presumptuous......" Hearing these words of concern, Feng was very apologetic, and he didn't know what to apologize for.

In Rongcheng for three years, the Yun family has been sincere, and the hustle and bustle can be seen. However, it is this kind of care that makes Feng Huan only anxious to improve the realm in his heart, and he is embarrassed to say it.

Not to mention that Yunyan seems to really have mind-reading skills, when he saw the hustle and bustle and hesitated, he immediately understood.

"I know that you are tired of the days of doing things in Rongcheng, but your father's plan for you must have been carefully considered, isn't it just about to leave for Xingli tomorrow?"

Wind Hustle told the story of what had happened after entering the cave.

Yunyan narrowed his brow after hearing this.

This kind of deep puzzled expression, which Feng Huan had never seen on Yun Yan's face, aroused a trace of curiosity in him.

"Any questions?"

Yunyan thought for a while before he replied: "If there is really any secret hidden under Rongcheng, the older generation doesn't know about it, but it is discovered by the younger generation, isn't it strange enough?"

"Maybe we were lucky?"

"You see it's too simple. Yunyan still locked his eyebrows and analyzed seriously, "If it weren't for the painting of the three elders that made you find that there was a problem with the magic circle, would you think of going to check the school field? But think about it, you have been in Rongcheng for three years, have you heard a word about the rumor of the secret of the underground? The entrance is so close to the coast, there is no reason why no one has discovered it for thousands of years. ”

Hearing this, Feng Huan's hair stood on end, and he answered tentatively: "You mean, someone who preceded us to discover the secret must have existed, but someone deliberately cleared all relevant transcripts?"

Or rather, the people who discovered the secret were cleared. Yunyan glanced at Feng Huan steadily, "That girl was also very strange just now, we don't know where she came from." She has no murderous aura on her, and she saved your life, so there is a high probability that she is not a bad person. It's just that it's here late at night, and it's really puzzling. ”

"Definitely. "The wind and the hustle and bustle should also be kind," and the legend in her mouth. According to what we just suspected, perhaps this legend was related to the secrets of the underworld, and the relevant records were cleared as well. The girl was from the Western Continent, and she had probably heard the legend from elsewhere, so she was surprised at what we didn't know. ”

Yunyan nodded in agreement, glanced around, confirmed that there was no one else nearby, and then said, "Let's go quickly, it's not too late to find a chance to explore the things underneath in the future." ”

After the two left the beach together, somewhere in the courtyard of the Yun family, the person who was sitting cross-legged on the couch suddenly opened his eyes. The gaze cast by those eyes was originally empty, but in the blink of an eye, it was filled with essence light, as if the divine consciousness had just returned to the body.

In the second half of the night, the two hurriedly returned home. At that time, Mama Xue was already standing at the door to greet her.

"Ah, I forgot to tell you, I said hello to Mama Xue before I came out to look for you. Yunyan explained.

"It's over...... You should have dried your clothes first. "The wind is not good.

In the past three years, Feng Huan has deeply understood the power of Xue Ma's mouth. It was the first time he had seen an old man in such good spirits, he could chat with young people all night, and he could also argue with the three elders from dawn to sunset.

No matter how late she came to her, she was awake, as if she didn't have to sleep. However, even if there is something to do, he doesn't dare to look for her too late, but if he does, his sleep time will basically be lost.

Sure enough, seeing the two of them walking home wet, Xue Ma didn't stop asking for a moment.

I couldn't say anything about the secret things underground, so I casually arranged a nonsense story of "falling into the water and encountering a whirlpool, and returning to the shore after a few tosses", and Yunyan also tacitly cooperated.

Mother Xue rolled her eyes when she heard this, and scolded: "The little rabbit cubs have to make up a reliable one when they lie, I didn't ask how they fell into the water, and asked why you ran to the beach in the middle of the night when you had nothing to do, walking the lamp shark?"

Feng Huan argued: "The little light shark has just been tamed, and of course it's not used to letting it live in the backwater of the Yuxin space, why can't it be taken out for a walk?"

"You keep making it up!"

Feng Huan was cheeky and really continued: "I didn't expect the lamp shark to be suddenly frightened, so I jumped into the sea in a panic to chase it." But how can there be any ferocious demon beasts in the coastal sea that can threaten the lamp shark, but I recently heard the legend of an ancient god war beast, this lamp shark is out of control, maybe it is the war beast that is doing it. I couldn't have predicted that, you said?"

"Ancient God War Beast, who did you listen to?" Xue Ma's tone suddenly became a little colder.

Feng Huan was just making up the energy, so he made up this legend for a while, but he didn't expect Xue Ma to react like this.

But in the next second, Mama Xue regained her loud voice.

"I'm afraid it's not your nonsense, hey, I don't know that there is such a legend when I'm old? Okay, I know that you young people have your own ideas, and there are some things that you don't want to tell me, an old guy, and I won't ask......

Mother Xue took care of herself a lot more, and then said that the two of them were going to leave for Xingli during the day, and asked them to hurry up and make up for sleep, so she waved her hand and left.

"Did I hear it wrong?" After Xue's mother left, Yunyan let out a puzzled voice.

"You noticed it too?"

Feng Huan also thought it was an illusion, but when he saw that Yunyan also found something abnormal, he confirmed that Xue Ma must know something.
