Chapter Ninety-Nine: This Native
There was a layer of cold air floating on this small pool, Ren Xiao didn't see how deep this pool was just now, and when he fell into the pool, he found that this small pool was much deeper than he imagined, and his feet couldn't reach the end, so that his whole body sank directly into the water after he fell.
The cold pool water soaked his body, which reminded Ren Xiao of something.
Half-squinted eyes and sank for a while, and suddenly Ren Xiao came back to his senses, stretched his body, and the frozen state disappeared? Regained mobility on his own!
At this moment, the soles of his feet touched the bottom of the pool, and Ren Xiao kicked hard with his arched legs, and his body quickly rushed towards the pool surface.
Disheveled!
Flying splashes, Ren Xiao swam his body, lying on the edge of the pool, looking up, but saw the blue-haired NPC woman sitting on the ice bed in the cave, looking at him with interest.
"Let me guess, you're a native of this lower plane?"
The woman showed a playful expression and Ren Xiao frowned, indigenous? Is there any mistake that the NPC actually refers to the player as indigenous?
Seeing that Ren Xiao was silent, the woman laughed again: "I heard that you natives have gained divine power, and you can not only be infinitely reborn, but also have the potential to control the law. ”
Ren Xiao doesn't know, so, what is the situation? Is it part of the system that adds the story, or is it an inconsequential NPC dialogue?
"Don't worry, I won't kill you, after all, you natives are monsters that can't be killed!"
There were some fierce voices, and the woman stared at Ren Xiao and laughed again: "Then what should I do with you, let me think about it..."
Ren Xiao's eyes widened, and 10,000 grass and mud horses galloped past in his heart: ", isn't it, she didn't hand me over to the dragon just now, I thought she was kind, but now it seems that this is not the case at all, this woman wants to take me as her own and treat me as her personal plaything!" ”
"There it is!"
Suddenly, an excited voice came from the freezer: "That's it, I'll give you two tests, if you can pass it successfully, I'll... Well... I can't let you go, but I can give you a reward, what do you think? ”
"Test? Reward? Ren Xiao's face was overjoyed, and he thought: "Can't be wrong, this must be part of the system to add a plot." ”
"No problem, I'm put to the test!" Ren Xiao hurriedly replied.
Seeing Ren Xiao's excited expression, the woman's eyes narrowed slightly, and she said secretly: "What a brainless native who doesn't know whether to live or die." But there was still a smile on his face: "Good! Given that you have such a weak relationship, my test will not be difficult for you, have you seen this puck? As she spoke, the woman raised her right hand and took out an egg-sized ice hockey ball, which emitted a faint blue halo and did not look like a mortal thing.
Ren Xiao lay on the edge of the pool, looked at the ice hockey, and nodded, "See." ”
"The first test is simple, I'll throw this puck into the pool, as long as you can catch it in the pool, you pass the test!"
As the woman spoke, she raised her hand and threw the ice ball at Xiao Chi, Ren Xiao's face froze, looking at the ice ball that pulled out a blue light in the air and fell towards him like a meteor in an arc, not knowing whether to catch it.
"If you can catch it in mid-air, you've passed the test!" The woman smiled.
Ren Xiao's eyes condensed slightly, looked at the falling ice ball, and quickly reached out.
Syllable!
A fist was clenched, and unexpectedly, the ice ball exploded in Ren Xiao's hand, turning into a little blue light and spilling into the pool.
Ren Xiao looked surprised and looked at the woman, but saw the woman laughing: "Don't be surprised, this ice ball is a treasure given to me by the gods, except for me, others can only catch it in the water." ”
"I see."
Ren Xiao didn't get angry at the woman for playing with him, because in his opinion, this woman was an NPC, and what she said was just a clue to the task.
At this moment, Ren Xiao looked down at the pool, but saw that the blue mangs that fell into the water re-condensed into a blue ice ball, this ice ball floated in front of Ren Xiao, Ren Xiao slowly reached out and grabbed the ice ball, but the ice ball moved backwards, Ren Xiao heyed, reached out and grabbed it again, and the ice ball sank directly into the water.
"Tell you, my patience is limited, I only give you ten minutes, if you can't complete this test within ten minutes, I will freeze you into an ice sculpture, so that you can't survive or die!"
Ren Xiao nodded calmly and said secretly: "To put it simply, this plot test has a time limit of 10 minutes, and you must catch this ice hockey in the water within these ten minutes!" ”
With a pop, Ren Xiao took a deep breath and burrowed his head into the water.
The woman sitting on the ice bed was a little stunned, as if she didn't expect Ren Xiao to be so calm after hearing her threat.
"Pretend to be calm!"
The woman snorted and walked towards the edge of the pool, waving her right hand at the water, the cold on the water surface dissipated, and you could clearly see the figure of Ren Xiao swimming in the pool chasing the ice hockey.
"Humph! Fool-like natives, the faster you swim, the more excited the Ice Spirit Ball becomes, if you let the rise of the Ice Spirit Ball play rampant in the water, so fast that you can't see it, I'll see how you catch it! ”
Underwater.
"I haven't lost!"
Swimming in the water, Ren Xiao thought of some things in the past and chased the ice hockey with all his might.
But Ren Xiao soon discovered that as his speed increased, so did the speed of the puckey, and he was always a little bit close to catching the puck.
After chasing the puck underwater for a minute, Ren Xiao suddenly heard the system's "You have entered a suffocation state" prompt, and with this prompt, Ren Xiao found that his health was decreasing at a rate of 3 points per second.
Ren Xiao didn't want to die now, he surfaced and breathed, and dived into the water again.
The blue-haired woman by the pool was a little surprised, because Ren Xiao didn't even look at her when she surfaced, which made her a little annoyed.
However, after seeing the futile figure in the water, she felt very relieved, and sat down by the pool with a smile, looking at Ren Xiao as if she was looking at a goldfish in a fish tank.
Ren Xiao shuttled back and forth in the small pool, and he found that as he chased, the speed of the puck became faster and faster, at first, he was only a little short of catching the puck, but now he couldn't catch up with the puck at all.
And what surprised Ren Xiao was that even if he couldn't catch up with the ice hockey, the speed of the ice hockey was still increasing, and in just ten seconds, its speed had skyrocketed to the point that it couldn't be seen clearly.
"What's going on? This puck is too fast for it to catch up! ”
In two minutes, Ren Xiao poked out of the water for the second time to breathe, and then quickly dived into the water.
"! It's so unreasonable! The speed of this puck has reached the point of disappearing, and no one can catch up with it in the water, why would the system set such a ...
Ren Xiao stood at the bottom of the pool and listened to the dull 'coaxing' sound of the ice hockey moving at high speed in the water, while looking for the traces of the ice hockey puck, while thinking in his heart, at this moment, his right ear suddenly "Peng~!" "Bang! Ren Xiao's eyes widened in a flash!
"Ice hockey? That's right, the sound of the liquid vibrating from the liquid that passed through my right ear at high speed! ”
Disheveled~!
"This time it's the left ear!"
Disheveled~! Disheveled~! Disheveled~! ……
"I see, when the puck is almost to a certain extent, even if I don't chase it, it will take the initiative to approach me, which is a bit like the original state of coercion against the sword of the Rampaging Sword Master, except that this time I need to use my ears to distinguish the position instead of my eyes."
"When it is close to my ear, the sound of the liquid vibrating will change from small to loud, this time is very short, you can't just listen to it with your ears, you have to feel it with your heart.
"That's right! Close your eyes, listen with your ears, feel with your heart, and at the moment when the sound is loudest..."
Disheveled~!
Scratch!
"Touched!"
The palm that was raised to his shoulder grabbed upwards sharply, and Ren Xiao clearly felt his fingertips touch something cold.
"Almost!"
Ren Xiao was a little regretful, and as the suffocation state of the system prompted, he swam out of the water and changed his breath.
This time, after Ren Xiao summoned his breath and sank into the water, the face of the blue-haired woman sitting by the pool no longer had the same calm and calm as before, and through the induction of the ice spirit ball, she knew that Ren Xiao had touched the ice spirit ball just now.
"Nope! It must have been a coincidence..."
The woman whispered to herself, but she couldn't say anything more than halfway through the conversation, because Ren Xiao was standing at the bottom of the pool, clutching a blue ice hockey ball in his hand.
The woman's face was full of disbelief.
"This Indigenous ......"
