By the Muling Lake.

Zhang Qing lay quietly on the ground, feeling the intimate and familiar feeling of his long-lost hometown.

In the silence, the sound of rapid breathing was gradually heard. The sudden noise immediately broke the silence of the surroundings.

He turned his head to look curiously and said, "You're finally awake!"

A cold face immediately became extremely cold, and Gebudona endured the severe pain of her body injury and slowly sat up.

"Ah......h

She snorted, then sat on the edge of the lake with her teeth gritted, gasping for breath and sweating down her forehead.

In order to sneak attack the killer tanuki, who was much stronger than her own strength, she had to perform a technique that overdrew her vitality to instantly improve her strength, and her body was already overdrawn.

"Where is this? Who are you? Leeber?"

She asked three questions in a row, turned her head and looked around, her face wary.

Zhang Qing pretended to be innocent, smiled at her, and then lay on the lake again, looking at the gray sky above his head.

"This is Wufeng Ling Mountain...... Li Bai went to the bottom of the lake......"

He said casually and pointed to the Muling Lake in front of him.

Gebudona looked at Muling Lake with a little unhappiness, and said a few words with a nervous expression: "Dead Water Lake!"

"Alas...... That's right, it's a backwater lake. ”

Dead Water Lake, a rarity on the Warrior Continent. But everywhere the backwaters appeared, there was a massacre. When the spirits of countless dead people gather in a lake, the backwater lake is formed.

......

Bottom of a backwater lake.

Li Bai continued to sink down, and there was less than a foot in sight in front of him. The aura around the body is also constantly absorbed by the lake water inexplicably.

The orange dog demon also felt that his demon spiritual power was disappearing, and gradually became impatient.

"Master, there's something strange about the bottom of this lake. Ever since I came down, I've felt uncomfortable. Otherwise, let's go out first......"

"That's not good, I've already promised someone else's things, and I can't easily go back on it......"

Li Bai looked up, and there was only a glimmer of light above his head. He looked at the bottom of the lake again, gritted his teeth and continued to dive.

"Is the spiritual power fluctuation you just felt still there?" asked Li Bai.

"Well, it's still down there. However, it seems to have kept us at arm's length. The closer we got to it, the farther it went to the bottom of the lake. ”

"Anyway, let's go down and have a look!"

Then, Li Bai continued to dive downward, and the aura around his body was released more intensely, protecting himself from being eroded by the lake.

After diving for a certain distance, the pressure under the water became more and more intense.

"No, it's getting harder and harder to resist the pressure of the lake. If nothing ever happens, we'll have to go back the way we came!"

Li Bai complained, and his whole attention was focused on the bottom of Muling Lake.

"Master, right there!"

The orange dog demon once again captured the mysterious spiritual power, locked the direction, and found the source of the spiritual power.

When he came to the place where the spiritual power was spreading, Li Bai did not find anything mysterious and special. The lake was pitch black, and there was hardly anything to be seen, only slight fluctuations of spiritual power surrounding it.

"Hoo ......"

"Who?"

Li Bai felt something behind him and suddenly turned his head.

Looking back, I still didn't find anything except a dark lake.

"Bark, did you find anything?"

"Look at the ...... behind"

Li Bai immediately became nervous, feeling a chill behind him, as if something was swimming behind him.

He turned slightly, and a black tentacle with a shimmering light appeared just within the range of Li Bai's eyes.

In an instant, the aura of Li Bai's body burst out, and the whole person quickly retreated, ready to fight at any time.

"It's a monster!"

Then, under the lake, the black anti-Ah sword appeared in Li Bai's hand.

''Master, don't do it yet......!'' It's not Warcraft......"

"Oh, what's this black, long thing?"

Li Bai pointed to the strange tentacle in front of him, and the reverse sword was immediately put away.

"It's a monster!"

The orange dog demon said solemnly, as if thinking about something.

"Coo-woo-to-goo...... Murmuring......"

Suddenly, the tentacle-like demon beast in front of him made a strange sound.

The voice was low, sounding pleading.

"Bark, what is it doing?"

"Master, it's begging us, help it ......"

"Help it...... What's wrong with it?"

Then, the orange dog demon used the language unique to demon beasts to communicate with the black tentacles. It probably means that the tentacles are a demon beast trapped at the bottom of Muling Lake. The monster beast had countless tentacles, and the core of its body was at the bottom of the lake. Nine years ago, there was a man who was also trapped at the bottom of the lake, and one was unconscious. Now, the monster hopes that Li Bai and the orange dog demon can save the man.

"Barking, what kind of demon beast is it, can it be trusted?" asked Li Bai secretly.

"According to the Wordless Book......

"Getting to the point!"

"Mu Beast! can be relied on!"

The orange dog demon said categorically, and seemed to trust the word "Mu Beast" very much.

Then, the tentacles of the Mu Beast suddenly wrapped Li Bai and quickly went to the bottom of Muling Lake.

......

By the Muling Lake.

Gebudona was closing her eyes and recuperating, her fair face paling because it was always in the dark.

Zhang Qing lay on the lake for a while, then suddenly sat up, a black dagger appeared in his hand, and he played with it casually.

He looked at Gebudona, was silent for a while, and said with a smile: "You're not afraid that I will kill you?"

Gebdonna slowly opened her eyes, not particularly surprised. She turned her head to look at Zhang Qing and said calmly, "I'm also curious, why didn't you kill me nine years ago." ”

"Looks like you already know who I am!"

Zhang Qing smiled even more happily, as if he had encountered something that made him feel happy.

"You were fighting for your life in the province of Wormmett a few days ago, but now, you have seen who I am. When did you suspect me?"

Gebdonna immediately closed her eyes and said contemptuously: "I am also a killer." The killer has a special kind of alertness, which is engraved in the killer's bones, and ordinary people can't learn it, and the habit of keeping alertness at all times makes us and ordinary people always different. A killer for one day is a killer for life. ”

"Hahaha...... Nine years ago, when I met you, I was thinking. Such a good seedling is forced to teach the cuckoo chicken so pedantic. ”

Zhang Qing put away the smile on his face, clasped his hands on the back of his head, and lay down in the place again, looking comfortable.

After a moment of silence, he suddenly said, "Gebudona, do you really want to be a killer?"

"Tanuki, you've climbed up step by step. Is it now that I have changed my mind and is ready to change my life? Like you said, a killer for one day is a killer for life. Do we have a choice?" said Gebdonna.

Zhang Qing looked at the sky above Muling Lake and kept smiling bitterly.

"The year I became a killer, the former commander of the Colin Empire, Li Bai was just a child who didn't understand anything. Nine years have passed, but he has chosen to find the truth. If he can, why can't I!"

Gebudona looked at Muling Lake and said coldly: "You are a killer, except for death." What are you looking for?"
