CHAPTER XXI
"What's wrong?" Qin Zhao followed Wei Xiao's line of sight, and the red-haired and green-haired people happened to walk into the shadows and couldn't see anyone.
"No, nothing." Wei Xiao subconsciously wanted to deny it, his face was not obvious, but he involuntarily walked to the position behind Qin Zhao's right, trying to avoid the two of them. At the same time, I couldn't help but wail in my heart, this errand is really not easy to do.
Although Yu Hongli didn't say who took the fragments of the water floating lotus that day, but at the same time, there were very few female pioneers here, and the other party could easily associate her with the people of that day. Face-to-face......
At this time, it was not early, and when I walked out of the theater and stood on the main road, there were few pedestrians around, and the number of vehicles was greatly reduced. Occasionally, there were two drunken shouts, which were soon blown away in the night wind.
"Nothing?" Qin took a look at her and reconfirmed.
"It's really nothing."
"Okay, then I'll go, call me if there's something."
These words flowed like goodness, as if he was afraid that Wei Xiao would regret it halfway.
"......" Wei Xiao just watched Qin Zhao's back disappear quickly, and he didn't know what to say at all. But he didn't hesitate for long, stood on the road for a while, and then walked to the darkest place in the corner of the community.
The greenery on the banks of the Rhine is quite good, with the most willow trees, especially in the current season of spring and summer. The long wicker slid down, easily covering Wei Xiao's figure.
In the middle of the moon, there are fewer and fewer people walking in the community, and gradually there is no one. The lights in the residential buildings are turned on and off, and gradually only the street lamps on the various street aisles remain. In the darkness, it did not play a role in driving out the darkness, but made the dull places darker.
The entire Rhine was plunged into darkness, except for the occasional house with its lights on, as if trying to resist the night.
Wei Xiao was half-lying on the grass, his hand holding Tang Zhidao's hand tightened slightly, staring at the front without moving.
Directly in front of it, there is an artificial lake, surrounded by willow trees. At first glance, you don't see any difference, and it's so common that it's easy to overlook.
Wei Xiao glanced at the time, and after one o'clock in the morning, the breath of the moon spirit stone became stronger and stronger. It is estimated that it will soon be time for growth, as long as there is a slight change, then she can directly throw out the hedron and start harvesting.
Almost as soon as this thought went down, something quietly began to move in front of me.
Wei Xiao was lying on his stomach a little high, just enough to see the artificial lake condescendingly.
From time to time, the surface of the lake will attract some moths, mosquitoes and flies, or the ornamental carp will occasionally jump out. The calm of the lake was broken, and there was a slight upheaval, but it was not so noticeable.
There seemed to be something floating in his sight, Wei Xiao hurriedly calmed down, calmed himself down, and then stared at the lake.
That's when she noticed that something had already started to change.
The willow trees around the artificial lake are still motionless, but their black shadows reflected in the lake water have begun to expand and grow, and finally there is a faint tendency to merge together.
Soon, the entire lake turned into a black shadow!
The flying mosquitoes and flies that were still flying just now have disappeared completely at this time. The carp that used to jump out of the lake from time to time have also completely disappeared.
The surface of the lake seems to be still.
Wei Xiao subconsciously held her breath, and then, she saw that something in the lake was about to move, as if it was about to fly and break out!
The moonlight was thick, and through the moonlight drifting down from above, I could see the black shadows in the lake, which looked like long willow leaves.
It's something that grows out of the lake!
Wei Xiao took the spar out of his backpack and was about to continue his movements, when he heard the sound of someone talking from the lake in front of him, so he hurriedly retreated.
Soon two figures appeared by the lake, and by the faint moonlight, you could faintly see that the hair of the two people was still of a strange color.
Wei Xiao: ...... This scene is really familiar!
In the past, when I acted by myself, I didn't have any particularly obvious feelings, and I always thought that the person who discovered these things like the Moon Spirit Stone seemed to be a Yu Hongli in addition to himself. But since the incident of the Water Floating Lotus, Wei Xiao suddenly realized that more and more people seemed to know.
Qin Zhao, Yu Hongli, the red-haired and green-haired people in front, and even Wu Tong before, these people seemed to appear in the same period of time.
"I said you, can you stop following me?" The red fur snorted, and his tone seemed very impatient.
"Which eye did you see me following you?" Green Fur carried a wooden stick on his shoulder, and retorted with his neck, but in terms of momentum, it was still not as straightforward as Red Hair, but seemed to be forced to answer.
"Okay," the red hair didn't bother to argue with him more, and waved his hand indifferently: "I don't want to continue to fight with you about what you have and don't." The last time it was because you suddenly jumped out to fight with me, and then you were picked up by a little girl. ”
"Hmph, you were almost asleep at the time, if it weren't for me, you might not even be able to see the shadow of the water floating lotus. I don't know where you got the courage and stance to accuse me first. ”
"I don't know who it is, I don't dare to stay alone as soon as it gets dark."
"You ......" Green Hair seemed to have been poked in the sore spot, and he was so angry that he waved the wooden stick in his hand and was about to smash it on Red Hair's head.
It was at this time that there seemed to be something in the originally calm and waveless water, constantly protruding outward, as if it was about to break through the lake directly!
The sound of the ice cracking crackled like a piece, and from the cracks in the ice, many small things gradually stretched out.
The green and red hairs also reacted at this time, giving up the useless dispute with the other party, and quickly retreated behind them, holding their respective weapons and waiting for them. At the same time, the moon-white light on his hand began to flash, apparently having taken out the hedrons.
Just wait for the wicker in the lake to completely break through the surface of the lake, and then they can throw the hedron for a brief seal and harvest it with their weapons.
You can't let them get a head start.
This thought flashed quickly in her mind, and Wei Xiao took out the spar without hesitation, but before she could make further movements, she heard another rustling sound from behind.
Wei Xiao subconsciously glanced back, but his expression gradually froze.
It's not just that there is something to come out of the artificial lake, but even the ordinary land outside is constantly protruding and swelling, and the soil is obviously warm and moist, but now it looks like after a great drought.
Cracks appeared in many places, and strange noises were made from the collapse of the earth. It is also mixed with the sound of rustling, as if something is shuttling through it.
It was supposed to be a moment of silence, but the entire residential area seemed to be gradually waking up, and kept whispering in Wei Xiao's ears.
In contrast to the violent tremors underground, all the plants on the ground, especially the willows, which flutter easily in the wind, remained motionless, as if time had stood still.
"Why is there one on the ground?" The green hair was the first to howl: "Isn't the breath of the Moon Spirit Stone coming from the lake?!" "Because the emotions were so excited, there was even a slight crackling when he spoke.
"What's it called?" The red hair shouted unceremoniously, and his voice was much more cold and serious in comparison: "The root systems of the trees are relatively developed, and it is normal to be infected by the lake, don't mess with yourself, find a breakthrough first!" ”
"But......" Green Hair wanted to say something, but he didn't say it, and finally hummed reluctantly.
Wei Xiao quickly glanced at the surrounding environment, and the booming sound that erupted almost at the same time, and his nerves were completely tensed.
It's not just a matter of being infected.
Here the roots of the willows, or other plants, had joined together in the ground, and all the plants began to tremble at this time. It is very similar to the situation of Triangle Plum that I saw in Zhongchuang before, except that it ......
The area of the triangular plum created by Zhongchuang is large, and the breath of the moon spirit stone is also very, very faint and not easy to be noticed. The aura of the moon spirit stone here was unprecedentedly strong, and it seemed to be deliberately gathered together. The aura of the moon spirit stone only circulates in this area, and it does not flow out, which causes the aura here to be even stronger.
In this way, if all the shackles are broken, the consequences will be unimaginable!
At the same time, because of this, the entire Rhine is connected by a single plant, and it is not so easy to find a breakthrough.
No matter!
Wei Xiao clutched the spar tightly, suddenly turned over and jumped up, his eyes wandered, and soon locked on one place.
Between the lightning and flint, three crystals shining with a warm moon-white light smashed out from three different directions and fell fiercely on the surface of the lake where the ice had cracked.
But unexpectedly, there was no rattling sound when the stone landed.
The three hedrons collided together, and the moment they landed on the surface of the lake, they disappeared without a trace. Immediately, the air on the surface of the lake slowly vibrated like water waves, revealing a world full of willow leaves.
The land around Wei Xiao, which was still frantically cracking, also stopped almost at the same time.
In a 24-hour café in the distance, on the corner table, the person who had been dozing off suddenly woke up and looked up at this side. Immediately, he adjusted his posture and fell into a deep sleep again.
With a soft crack, the last light in the residential area on the banks of the Rhine was completely extinguished.
The whole world was plunged into boundless darkness.
