Chapter 34: The Phantom in the Water

The villagers at the door of Xia Wan's house gradually dispersed, and they all found their children, but Xia Feng of Xia Wan's house still didn't know where he was.

Xia Yuanchao's old face was wrinkled, and he looked at the gate of the courtyard where only he and Xia Wan were left, and shouted: "Poor Xiaofeng doesn't know where it is, Wanwan, you look at the house, I'll continue to look for it, if you lose him, your parents won't rush back and scold me to death!" After saying that, he turned around and left.

Xia Wan hurriedly grabbed her grandfather and said with a serious face: "Grandpa, you are tired, rest at home, I'll go find Xiaofeng, you're old, don't you feel a little unbearable?" ”

Xia Yuanchao's wrinkled face moved slightly, and he felt that his body was indeed a little unbearable.

"Okay, it's better to know how to hurt grandpa sooner or later, you pay attention to safety, don't go too far, grandpa is waiting for you at home."

Xia Wan nodded, turned around and walked alone towards the woods outside the village.

Under the night, the faint moonlight illuminated the road ahead in the summer evening, and she heard the sound of waves coming from the Muxi River next to her, it has been the rainy season in Xuancheng recently, and the water level is rising higher and higher, and there is already a risk of overflowing the embankment.

Suddenly, Xia Wan found a child's figure walking around on the river embankment, although it was very vague, but she could see at a glance that it was the back of her younger brother Xiaofeng.

"Xiao Feng, what are you doing, don't go home soon!" Summer evening screamed and rushed to the river embankment.

However, Xiao Feng's back in front didn't pay any attention, but accelerated and ran, not knowing what to do.

"Xiao Feng, stop, where are you going?" Xia Wan, who was a sister, was worried, and hurriedly chased after her.

On the river embankment, the sister and brother chased one after the other, but Xia Wan found that Xiao Feng was running faster and faster, constantly widening the distance between him and her.

Seeing this, Chen Du on the roof of the building behind him, his eyes narrowed slightly, and a little haze appeared on his face, he hurriedly used the "Sky Climbing Technique" to jump off the roof of the building and fly directly to Xia Wan.

In the long night, Xia Wan found that Xiao Feng was getting farther and farther away from her, and she was about to lose sight, and a strong sense of crisis and anxiety enveloped her.

She continued to run forward, trying to catch up again, but in the end, she couldn't see Xiao Feng's figure at all, and she had a strong premonition in her heart that she would never see her brother again, and her eyes moistened uncontrollably.

"Hey, wake up." Suddenly, a voice appeared in Xia Wan's ears, and she felt a wide palm pressed on her shoulder.

When she turned around and saw that it was Chen Du, she was taken aback, and immediately felt that her feet slipped and her body almost fell, but fortunately, Chen Du supported her in time.

Only then did she realize that her feet were covered with mud, and it turned out that she had reached the bank of the river at some point, and that if she took any further steps, she would have stepped into the river and drowned.

Xia Wan looked frightened and puzzled: "How did I get to the bank of the river?" ”

Seeing her standing firmly, Chen Du let go of his hand and replied: "You fell into the illusion and walked slowly to the bank of the river by yourself, if I came one step too late, you would probably have fallen into the turbulent river." ”

Xia Wan suddenly realized, but the feeling of seeing her brother just now was too real, and she couldn't believe that she had fallen into an illusion.

After a pause, she was curious, "Is there really illusion in the world?" Whose illusion did I fall for? ”

Chen Du looked at the turbulent Muxi River behind her, and wanted to say that he had naturally fallen into the ghost's illusion, but before he could say it, a huge wave suddenly surged, rolling up the summer evening like a living creature and dragging it into the Muxi River.

Chen Du didn't have time to rescue, Xia Wan had fallen into the boiling river and disappeared, now is the flood season when the river is rising, and Xia Wan fell into it with more than luck.

Chen Du didn't hesitate much, and jumped into the Muxi River with a thud, because he already had mana in his body, and he had become a silver-scaled python bathing in fire, it was much more convenient to move in the water.

He first looked left and right, and found that there was no trace of Xia Wan, but in the section of the river downstream, he saw a black shadow flashing, it was the water ghost that Chen Du had several contacts with.

He immediately chased downstream, his body was not slow under the blessing of mana, and when he reached the place where the black shadow disappeared, he found that there were stone embankments built on both sides of this section of the river, in fact, there was an iron chain bridge built on it in the early years, and then the chain bridge was broken, and a modern reinforced concrete structure bridge was built in other river sections, and no new bridge was built here.

Chen Du saw through the swaying river water that there were many long cyan aquatic plants growing on the stone embankment next to her, and she was tied to the stone embankment by the aquatic plants in the summer evening, and the aquatic plants were shaking around her, and she could still breathe in the water.

Chen Du knew that it was the water ghost who gave her the conditions to breathe with his mana, so he moved his body closer to the past, trying to rescue her from the water and grass, but suddenly, a black shadow jumped out of the stone river embankment and blocked in front of Xia Wan, and Chen Du was forced to stop.

"You, the water ghost?" Chen Du looked at him carefully, showing a vague human form, and it was still in the form of black qi, this black qi was still very different, contaminated with a lot of evil qi, Chen Du could feel the yin and evil feeling between his black qi body from a distance.

The water ghost was fluctuating in the water, but he was always in front of Chen Du, and then said in a hoarse voice: "Why do you want to come to spoil my good deeds, I dominate this water, you can be the king of the land, you and I can not interfere with the river water." ”

This last sentence Chen Du once said, but at the moment he couldn't do the well water without the river water, pointed to the summer evening behind the water ghost and said: "That girl, I want to take her away, as long as you promise me this, we can do the well water without the river water."

The water ghost did not hesitate at all, and said resolutely: "No, she is very important to my cultivation, I found out with great difficulty, it is impossible for you to take her, if you have to take her, then I can only kill you!" ”

After the water ghost finished speaking, the black qi all over his body swelled, and he suddenly increased his body size by five times, Chen Du knew that this was not his true form, but he was unwilling to show his true body, and Chen Du had no opinion on his true face.

"Can you tell me why you have to have this girl? In my opinion, she is just an ordinary girl, what effect can she play in your cultivation? ”

The water ghost slapped his big hand, and a fierce flow of water pressed towards Chen Du, but Chen Du moved flexibly and dodged lightly, and the water ghost didn't care about failure, and said with a gloomy smile: "You don't understand, that human girl is a rare yin spirit body, if I can devour her body and soul, it will be of great benefit to my current embarrassing situation." ”

"What is a Yin Spirit Body? What's your awkward situation? Chen Du was a little curious, and he was not in a hurry to fight with him.

But the water ghost didn't want to say more, and said casually perfunctory: "You are too curious, you can't help but ask too much!" ”

The water ghost's five-fold body bulged, opened the black qi mouth into an egg shape, and then suddenly spewed out a cloud of black liquid, these black liquids stretched out like black horses, circling around Chen Du rapidly, and soon wrapped Chen Du and the water ghost inside.
