"These spiders are disgusting, so let's choose another place to stay." Xie Tan's proposal was immediately responded to by everyone, after all, sitting in the middle of a pile of toxic garbage, no one was in the mood to rest.

Xie Qingning shook his head and said, "You guys should find a place to settle down first, and I'll take a look." ”

"See what?" Xie Huazhao asked curiously.

"These things are good medicinal herbs, you go first, I have to leave them behind."

As soon as these words came out, everyone's faces became a little strange, especially when they lowered their heads and saw those disgusting spider corpses, they almost couldn't help but curse.

However, due to Xie Qingning's presence, everyone finally packed up their things and left the scene without saying anything, and hid a hundred meters away before re-lighting the fire and camping, quietly waiting for Xie Qingning's return.

What they didn't expect was that after everyone waited for more than half an hour, and still didn't see Xie Qingning's figure, everyone's faces were a little unpleasant.

"I'll go find her." Xie Huazhao was the first to jump out, but Lan Yongzhi grabbed his sleeve and said, "I'd better go, you stay here and don't walk around." ”

"Why you again?" Xie Huazhao couldn't help but roll his eyes, Lan Yongzhi only gave him a look, which immediately left him speechless.

Also, whoever makes his strength inferior to the other party, he can only accept his fate.

Xie Qingning was standing quietly in front of a lake at the moment, looking down at the black lake in front of him, and he always felt that something was strange.

The lake was a jet-black color, as if it had been rendered by thick ink, there was a faint light smoke floating on the surface of the lake, and a strange fragrance poured into the tip of her nose, making her feel a little dizzy in her brain, and she hurriedly took two steps back, she inhaled two breaths of fresh air after the rain to relieve this dizziness, and her heart was slightly horrified.

Previously, she cleaned the corpse of a colorful spider because the toxins in its body were of great research value, and the rest of the corpse was burned by her to avoid attracting more beasts in the forest.

When Xie Qingning walked towards the circuit, he unconsciously remembered the matter of "green astringent grass" and "red vanilla", and thought that around the life of these poisonous spiders, there would inevitably be herbs that would relieve the venom in their bodies to grow, so he followed the direction in which the four spiders had fled all the way until he was blocked by the lake in front of him.

Looking at the Heishui Lake in front of him, Xie Qingning felt a very strange feeling in his heart.

It was as if there was something mysterious hiding at the bottom of the lake, calling her to jump into the lake to find out.

But there was nothing in the lake, not even the surface of the lake, it was like a black mirror, reflecting the dense woods and the dim sky around it. A strange atmosphere filled the surroundings, making her know that the situation was wrong, but she was still reluctant to move away.

"Qingning, what are you doing?" Behind her, the sudden sound woke Xie Qingning up, she slowly turned her head, looked at Lan Yongzhi who was approaching step by step, and sighed lightly before replying, "This lake...... It's quirky. ”

Lan Yongzhi frowned, flipped his wrist, held Yin Lian in his palm, and slowly approached cautiously.

The two of them stood side by side by the black water lake, and they both felt that the lake in front of them was extremely strange, there was not even the breath of half a bird or beast within a radius of a hundred miles, and all the creatures in the forest seemed to automatically and consciously avoid this place, could it be that the lake water was poisonous?

Xie Qingning thought about it, reached out and took out a silk handkerchief from his arms to cover his mouth and nose, and took out a bronze wine glass from the storage bag, walked to the lake and squatted down, and was about to take some lake water to see what was strange, when his pupils suddenly constricted a little.

I saw that under the black lake, there seemed to be a huge beast hidden, it was staring at a pair of dead fish-like eyes and Xie Qingning's gaze, the round face like a baby and the upturned rabbit lips opened slightly, as if it was smiling.

Xie Qingning, who was nervous, hurriedly stood up and took three steps back in succession to stabilize his figure.

"How?" Lan Yongzhi saw that her expression was wrong, and took two steps forward to ask with concern.

"There's something in the lake." Xie Qingning stroked his chest and forcibly suppressed the thumping heart.

"What's that?" As soon as Lan Yongzhi's words came out, he heard the sound of rushing water behind him, accompanied by a cold aura enveloping his body, and before he could turn back, he saw a black giant beast more than five feet tall from Xie Qingning's pupils, that guy was like a black giant python that had been magnified countless times, and his body was as thick as three people hugging him, but the snake's head was like a human face.

Its round face was inlaid with two dark eyes, its cow-like nose protruded upward, and its rabbit-like lips opened and closed slightly, revealing a row of neat white teeth inside.

"Be careful!" Xie Qingning didn't have time to think about it, he grabbed his arm and flew back to a hundred meters away, and the two of them raised their heads at the same time, looking at the giant beast that was looking at them condescendingly, and the other party seemed to be probing them, his eyes rolled slightly, as if he was a little curious.

"Its scales ......," Lan Yongzhi muttered, causing Xie Qingning's gaze to turn to the guy's body, only to see that outside its thick branches, it was covered with a thick layer of black scale armor, like a soldier wearing armor, which looked extremely hard.

Xie Qingning's pupils shrank slightly, and he secretly held Lan Yongzhi's palm.

The touch of her soft and delicate fingers made Lan Yongzhi's body stiffen slightly, her throat suddenly dried up a little, and her heart seemed to be burning with fire, and her whole body began to burn.

But when he knew that he was not in his heart at this time, he quickly gathered his mind and whispered, "Run!" ”

Xie Qingning's thoughts coincided with his, so when his voice came out, the two of them turned around and ran almost at the same time, like two black shadows that escaped fifty meters away in an instant.

The black beast tilted its head, as if wondering why they were running, but after a moment of frustration, it tumbled out of the lake and chased after it with a trail of water, quickly overpowering the knee-deep weeds.

Sensing the movement behind him, Xie Qingning's heart tightened slightly, and his body trembled slightly, and he had already disappeared into the woods while pulling Lan Yongzhi, disappearing in front of the giant beast.

It was stunned for a moment before it stopped the snake body that was swimming rapidly, looked around, and found that the two people had disappeared out of thin air, and then turned around and returned, submerging into the black lake again.

Lan Yongzhi, who experienced this for the first time, only felt that a large dazzling white light suddenly appeared in front of him, and he couldn't see anything clearly, and the breath that came to his face was mixed with a simple and ethereal taste, as if he had traveled through time and space, making his chest stagnant and his breathing tightened violently.

When he opened his eyes again, there was a long and dark cave in front of him, and the damp, musty air was inhaled into his lungs, which was very uncomfortable, so he heard Xie Qingning beside him let out a long breath and said, "Fortunately, I ran fast enough." ”

Lan Yongzhi finally exhaled the turbid breath in his chest, took three deep breaths in succession to calm the shock in his heart, and asked her in surprise, "You...... How did you do that? ”
