"Who are you, and why are you following me?"

Large foliage of fallen leaves fluttered from the top of the tree, and a man's voice, faster than the leaves fell, floated down from above.

Then, stepping on the leaves, the man jumped down from the top of the tree, and on his back, carrying a sword.

In front of him were three or four senior brothers who hurriedly turned around and looked at each other.

Under normal circumstances, if they are found to be followed, these people should be scared, frightened, guilty, and faceless......

But these people were very calm, as if Ji Zhuochen was not asking them.

"This junior brother, why did we follow you? Everyone entered the secret realm to hunt for treasures, why, do you still want to monopolize it yourself? Besides, we said that we followed you, you are just a poor boy, what is there for us to follow?"

One of the senior brothers said.

"Okay," Ji Zhuochen took a step back, "Then please go first, senior brothers, and then find another way." ”

After saying that, he really stood there and didn't move, but he really wanted to wait for these people to go first.

A few men, you look at me, I look at you, and then they really left.

I couldn't see the shadows of these people in my sight anymore, but whether they really went or faked, Ji Zhuochen had no way of knowing.

............

According to the detailed map of the Taikang Secret Realm provided by the academy, there is only the approximate location of the jade lotus root on it, and it is only known that it is in the northeast of the secret realm, but the northeast is so big that there are seven or eight valleys, and no one knows which valley hides the jade lotus root.

The habit of jade lotus root, like to be born in a large lake with a lot of water, ordinary small rivers and lakes, not much water, can not afford the consumption of jade lotus root, yes, Zhong Xingyue used the technique of element separation.

The so-called elemental separation is to be able to analyze the concentration of elements in the air that you need.

Zhong Xingyue relied on this method to go all the way to the direction of the most abundant moisture and the most humid air.

In the northeast of the Taikang Secret Realm, it is estimated that the growth of the jade lotus root is the most water-intensive.

As we walked, a river appeared.

The river is not wide, but only three meters, and the water quality is even clearer, and the fish and shrimp at the bottom of the river are frolicking, and the aquatic plants are shaking.

Seeing this river, Zhong Xingyue came to the spirit.

The river water comes from the melting water of the ice and snow in the mountains, and when it flows downward, it must flow into a place where it is extremely water-stored, so as to contain its constant flow of water.

The place where the water is stored may be the big lake where the jade lotus root grows......

Zhong Xingyue followed this small river all the way.

On both sides of the riverbank, the mountain walls are only more than ten meters apart, and the two face each other, which has a unique style.

Under the mountain wall, next to the river bank, countless daffodils are born in the middle of the road.

The daffodils are very beautiful, and in the low bushes, the purple-red thumb-sized flowers are delicate, five petals are one, five or six flowers are a cluster, and they are full of bunches and bunches, and they are very blooming life.

As you go downstream along the river, the distance between the stone walls on both sides of the river grows larger and larger, but the river does not widen too much, but these daffodils bloom from the river bank to the bottom of the mountain, and there are other unknown wildflowers mixed in, and there is a tendency to form a sea of flowers.

Probably because the terrain here is a vent, and the wind is usually strong, so the flowers are blown down into the water, one by one, with the push of the ripples, happily rushing downstream.

Zhong Xingyue enjoyed the beautiful scenery of the mountains and rivers all the way, and of course did not forget to observe the changes in the water.

I saw that at the bottom of the clear river, there were still a lot of small fish and shrimp, but the further I went, the fewer and fewer creatures at the bottom of the river, and finally when I reached the open place of the mountain wall, there was no living life in the river.

There are weirdness!

Zhong Xingyue's hand rested on the gentleman's sword hanging from her waist, and her steps slowed down, but she continued to move forward.

At this point, there is no need to use the Elemental Separation Technique, and there is no need to follow the flow of the river, because the water vapor in the air has become very thick, and even if you don't do anything, you can feel the humidity around you.

It's a very comfortable environment.

Walking further, the outline in front of me is bright.

The two sides of the mountain wall in front of the same way, and finally hugged together, forming a smooth stone wall less than a kilometer high, on the stone wall occasionally grow a few green vines, hanging high, like the hair of a beautiful woman.

But this was not what shocked Zhong Xingyue the most, she didn't even look at the stone wall here carefully.

Because when the stone walls gathered, the river stopped flowing forward, and it flowed into the lake in front of you.

This lake...... How so?

It's not as wide and vast as Egret Lake, which makes people open-minded, but it's beautiful.

It's really beautiful.

The lake water is turquoise and blue, clear and translucent like a rare jade in the world, more like the beautiful eyes of a beautiful girl with blue eyes, and there are sparkling waves in it.

But you can't see the bottom, probably because the lake is too deep.

There is a white mist rising on the surface of the lake, this white mist is not big, ethereal, very faint, as if the wind will disperse as soon as it blows, it is like a peerless woman who wants to get out of the water, hazy and yearning.

But these are secondary, and the best thing is that lotus flowers grow on the lake.

The lotus flower is the most common aquatic flower in summer, and Zhong Xingyue usually thinks that the lotus flower is beautiful, but here, she really thinks that the lotus flowers she has seen before must be fake~

The flower is white, and unlike the petals that grow in clumps elsewhere, its petals are spread out, revealing the full stamens inside, and even the outermost petals, which are gently clinging to the surface of the water.

I don't know if the petals are stained with dew or lake water, but they are as full as pearls.

Its petals are not white and heavy, but very crystalline, and the crystal is not like a real flower, but like a carved jade.

Each of them is half a meter thick in diameter, and they float quietly on the water, and their young yellow stamens are very dazzling.

But strangely, there are no lotus leaves in this lake, only lotus flowers.

Zhong Xingyue was pleasantly surprised, thinking that only such a lotus flower could give birth to such a spiritual jade lotus root.

But surprise is surprise, and she didn't jump into the water rashly.

Because she observed the environment here.

First, a place with such a strong aura and such a beautiful environment is not only liked by humans, but also by monsters.

Second, there are no aquatic creatures in the lake, and even if the lake is too deep, it is still appropriate to occasionally jump out of a few carp, and besides, the extinction of this creature appeared long before the river converged.

Thirdly, this lotus flower smells fragrant, the stamens are huge and full, and it is a favorite of bees and butterflies, so there is no reason why it will not attract them to pick it!

There are all kinds of signs that there must be some danger in this place, so that those animals who are so natural have to bend their waists.
