(1) The enchantment of Yueyin Village (10)
Green slime splattered in the air, and the green-eyed spider flying through the air burst into irregular pieces and landed at Void's side...... The expected death did not come, only a few long piano sounds echoed, accompanied by the figure of the young man in white falling in the air.
"I said you were going to follow me." Zero lowered Dori on his shoulders to the ground, brushed a bowstring, and the cobwebs that stuck to Void Silence immediately shattered, turning into fine powder and merging into the yellow grass.
"You 'swish' and suddenly disappear, teleporting...... How can I keep up with you? ......" Silence couldn't hide his helpless tone, turned his head to look at Dorui, who was lying unconscious and scarred, and said with concern, "Is she okay?" ”
"Didn't you learn how to bandage in first aid?" Zero rhetorical questions.
"Yes...... I'll bandage it. Silence immediately crawled in front of Dory, ready to use her first aid skills.
Zero laughed out loud at this time: "I'm kidding you, just use your little primary first aid technique on yourself." This one is no longer a problem of injury, her body is already dead, in order to save time, she will not wait for her to walk back from Rashomon by herself - I will save it. ”
After speaking, he walked to Dori's side in a few steps, raised the index finger and middle finger of his right hand to his mouth, and muttered a series of incomprehensible incantations, a circle of light gradually gathered at his fingertips, and there seemed to be a spell floating and rotating on the light source, and then, the spirit fox boy drew a circle in the air with the spiritual light of his fingertips, and the light solidified in the air, forming a glorious phantom, and then, I saw Zero slowly put his left hand into the center of the circle, and magically, his outstretched arm did not appear through the circle from the other side, Instead, it seemed to be cut off and disappeared into thin air.
After a while, Zero, who continued to chant the incantation, slowly withdrew his left hand, and his arm slowly appeared and restored, and when his palms and fingers were revealed, he found that he was holding a hand made of condensed air, almost transparent, with the appearance of a floating soul in a fantasy movie.
"Thank you...... Dory's soul floated through the air and whispered thanks to Zero, before slowly falling into the body lying on the ground.
After a few seconds, Dori's eyelashes fluttered a few times and he opened his eyes.
"Thank you......" The cat-eared girl, who sat up, embarrassed to thank Zero again, "I didn't expect there to be so many monsters around...... As soon as I stepped into the fog, which was not too far from you, five or six spiders sprang out at once! It's hard to ......"
"So, as soon as I entered the forest, I repeated again and again that I wanted to follow me, and this was my last reminder - if it happened again to deviate from the group without my permission, I would not be saved." Zero turned sideways as he spoke, "Time is pressing, heal while walking, and move on." ”
Silent and Dori glanced at each other, got up, ignored the scars on their bodies, obediently followed Zero's footsteps, and continued to walk towards the depths of the mist.
The world in the fog is the same no matter how you look at it, and in this case, the perception of time and space is indifferent, and for Void Silence and Dory, it is panicked not to know how the process is.
Once again, he took out two related task kraft sheets and looked at them again and again, and Xu Mo finally couldn't help but ask the white-clothed spirit fox walking in front: "Zero, are we going to find a refreshing flower first?" ”
"Nope." I didn't reply, and I answered neatly.
"And where are we going?"
At this sentence, the young man in white simply remained silent and did not answer.
Silent felt the aura of "I don't want to chat" that he exuded, and silently sweated, but still asked again uneasily: "Then are we going directly to hunt the host of hypnotic flowers?" ”
"Yes." The annoyed fox replied softly, and his brisk pace suddenly stopped.
Silence didn't stop again, and hit his back with a "bang", and Dory, who was walking at the back, was also caught off guard and almost crashed into the two of them.
"There's a lake here." Zero stood up straight and muttered without looking back.
"Lake?" The fog was so thick that they couldn't even see the ground beneath their feet, so Silent and Dori had to crouch down and look around for the shadow of the lake, which was very funny.
Perhaps amused by the stupid behavior of these two dogs, Zero covered the smile at the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then pulled out his favorite guqin from behind, and brushed the strings with his slender fingers......
"Is it wrong? Is this a U-turn? Or do you need to find a bridge? Or find a boat? ......" Dorui, who didn't dare to speak all the way after doing something wrong, finally couldn't help but ask.
"I sensed it - I'm pretty sure what we're looking for is in the middle of the lake. As it stands, we have to swim through......"
"Swim over?!" Before Zero finished speaking, Silent and Dory's eyes widened in tacit understanding, and they called out a question.
"What? ――Can't swim? It's a must-have. Zero glanced at them nonchalantly.
"I really haven't studied......" even Dori said, not to mention silence.
"Come here." Zero turned sideways and hooked his fingers at the back.
Silent and Dori obediently stepped forward, and were immediately hugged into their arms by Zero Hand: "Swimming, it's a natural skill, as long as you swim, you will definitely swim." The important thing is not to be afraid, to believe in yourself, and to just do it. ”
Hearing Zero's whispers, before Silent and Dori could ask questions, they were thrown into the lake by a bend of his arm......
The icy lake water instantly soaked every corner of the cloth through the thin cracks of the armor, and the biting cold air penetrated every cell of the skin through the impregnation of the lake water, and in the dark lake water, he opened his eyes in silence and difficulty, only to see a string of bubbles spitting out from the corners of his mouth, he inhaled in a panic without controlling his breathing, and the cold water immediately choked into his throat, making his limbs stare uncontrollably......
Fortunately, Dored's figure swam in time, pulled him over his shoulder, lifted him with a force, and carried him above the shoulder out of the lake.
"Ahem, ahem! ...... "Silent struggling on the surface of the water, constantly coughing and choking on the lake water, these are too similar to the feeling of drowning in the real world!"
"Calm, silent, calm - can you swim in the real world?" Dory put his arm on the shoulders and said, "Just like the way you swim in the real world, you just need rhythmic breathing and rhythmic body movements, just like me." She said as she slid the surface of the water with her other arm.
"I can't swim in reality......" Xu Mo only felt that the white-clothed spirit fox boy was really a fool at the moment, and he was bent on climbing back to the shore.
"No, I can't learn to swim, how will I get to the center of the lake later?" Zero stood on the shore and admonished with a serious face, "I'll wait here, and then call me when I learn to swim, I must be able to both, otherwise our trip will definitely stop here." So saying, he sat down, caressing the sound of the harp, and pretended not to hear whatever the water-soaked silence told him.
An hour passed quickly, and the silence, accustomed to the temperature of the lake, began to float on the surface of the water without Dori's help, and paddle slowly.
"Hey! That zero, the silence can swim! Dori shouted at the white-clothed young man sitting on the shore with her eyes closed and playing the piano, she was about to lose her patience completely, "Let's go quickly, if we don't leave, I'll be soaked in pickles!" ”
Zero slowly opened his eyes, stopped the piano sound, and seriously looked at the pitiful silence that was trying to pat his feet to float on the surface of the water for a while, before he stood up casually and said, "Then let's go." ”
"Since you're going to the middle of the lake, you have to go into the water, right?" Silence yelled at the fox, "Come down, let's swim over!" ”
Zero didn't respond to his shouts, but the body did walk towards the lake. He lifted his feet gracefully towards the water, and a pale white wheel of light bloomed and appeared under his feet, on which floated and swirled incantations that he could not understand—under the gaze of Void and Dory, he stood on the incantation chakra, completely and unwet, above the water.
"Let's go, follow me." Looking condescendingly at the two kittens soaked in the water, with a stupid expression on their faces, Zero couldn't help but chuckle, and then walked elegantly in the direction of the center of the lake.
In an instant, there was a strange feeling that someone had been tricked out of nowhere......
But the task was greater, and the important battle was imminent, so he no longer dwelled on the details, and silently and clumsily followed the direction of the two companions, and swam hard to the past.
In the foggy lake, you have to concentrate very hard and paddle desperately, so as not to wait for the white-clothed boy in front of you.
Because he was so focused on the white back, Void Silence didn't react immediately, and the concentration of the fog had begun to slowly thin after a while...... Until a small island-like protrusion looms not far away.
Dori, who was swimming in front of him, turned around and summoned a silent sentence, and then pointed to the protrusion and reminded loudly: "Look! Ahead, look ahead, is that an island in the middle of a lake? Is our goal on that island? ”
At this point, Void Silence finally shifted his gaze to the landscape ahead.
He glared hard to see if any strange creature was present in any corner of the island, but, to his horror, the island-like object began to move slowly-
