Although the sound of rushing has been like thunder, but a group of people walked for a long time before they saw the so-called "Luo Yuan". I saw a black and blue water in front of me rolling, as if it was thousands of miles long and millions of miles wide, far away, with no end in sight.

It was just when the sun was shining high at noon, which was supposed to be the most active time for all living beings, but there was not a single spirit animal next to this Luo Yuan, only a dead tree and scattered pampas grass planted diagonally on the shore.

Hu Lan said, "Yes, yes, this is Luo Yuan." ”

The beings cautiously came to the front of the abyss and looked closely, and found that the water was opaque black and blue, and there was no bottom at all. The water of the river is as mighty as rolling logs, but there are no tall waves, and the whole water surface is only surging like thick black and dense slime. Rui Gong broke a root of the grass and dipped it in water, and when she looked up again, the blades of the grass did not change.

Hu Lan smiled, "This water is non-poisonous, we will go into the water to swim across this abyss in a while." ”

Rui Gong stretched out his hand and scooped up a handful of water, but found that the water in his palm was very transparent and clear, like ordinary water, but when he put it into the river, it turned black and blue. Rui Gong stood up and wondered, "In our language, the abyss is 'deep pool', how can this big river be 'abyss'?" ”

Hu Lan hesitated, "I haven't crossed Luo Yuan either, but I've only heard about it a little. Your grandfather and grandmother have been here before, and they have told us about such a big river. It's just that I was young at the time and didn't write down many ......."

Rui Gong said, "Fox Father, you haven't crossed Luo Yuan either, so how do you know where it leads?" ”

Husang opened his mouth and said, "The "Cone Finger of Mountains and Seas" says, 'Ten thousand acres of black water are surrounded by Lingwu. There are water snakes, high ridges, flying dragons, and spirits in the water, and there are several backflows, passing through them, and even Luo Yuan; Then travel thousands of miles to the secret realm of Lingwu. ’”

""Mountains and Seas Cone Finger"? What is it? Ke Zhenshi asked, "What water snakes, flying dragons, and spirits, I understand; Gaoling, piercing, thousands of miles of waves...... What is this again? ”

"The Cone Finger of Mountains and Seas is a geographical work that records the hydrology of mountains and rivers in the boundary of mountains and seas." Husang explained, "According to the book, the big river in front of us is not Luoyuan, but the big river upstream of Luoyuan, Luoshui; Luoshui is the only way to enter Luoyuan; After passing Luoyuan, travel by water for a few more days to reach the Lingwu Secret Realm; As for the water snake and the flying dragon, it should be a spiritual creature that lives in Luo Yuan......"

"I said, do you have to go to the secret realm from here, isn't it difficult for us?" Ke Zhenshi said, "Although I can also swim in the three-meter-deep pool, I can't even see the other side of the black water, how can I swim past?" Don't even have a boat? ”

Kitsune said disdainfully, "What is a ship?" Your Terran water crossing tools, right? Luo Yuan is unfathomable, and the current is changeable and extremely complex. It is difficult for ordinary aquatic spirit animals to pass through directly. Even if you have spiritual power, you have to use the trick to avoid water before you can pass through. How can something like a 'boat' be able to get through? ”

Rui Gong asked, "Someone with spiritual powers...... Isn't it only you and Father Fox who can cross this Luo Yuan? ”

Hu Lan smiled, "We have already figured out how to cross the water. With that, he took out a small boxy dark blue wooden box from his arms.

As soon as he saw this, Hu Sang was surprised, "This is the heirloom treasure box of the fox fairy grass, Dad, why did you bring it?" ”

Hu Lan said, "Of course, it's your grandmother, who knows that we are going to the Lingwu Secret Realm and must pass through Luoyuan, and knows that the three human races have no spiritual power, so she asked me to take them." ”

He opened the treasure box, which contained six red-gold pills. Hu Lan said, "This is a water-repellent pill made of begonia flowers and begonia fruits, and you can float on the surface of the water without drowning after eating." But the effect is only twelve hours, and we must go ashore within twelve hours. ”

As he spoke, Hu Lan took one and swallowed it in his mouth, and Hu Lan and Hu Sang also took one each, and Hu Lan poured out three more, picked up the box again, stretched out his paws and said, "These three are yours." ”

Each of the three Terran boys took one in his hand. Di Qingchuan hesitated, "Such as ...... If you can't log in...... If you can't go ashore, how can you ...... What to do? ”

"Then you'll have to swim through it on your own."

"If so...... What if you don't have enough physical strength to hold on? ”

"Then drown in this Luo Yuan."

"What if you encounter spirit beasts such as water snakes, high ridges, and flying dragons?"

"Rush through."

After that, Hu Lan jumped into the air through the branches of the dead tree, and looked at the island in the distance, so he said to everyone, "There is a small island ahead, it must be a place to rest halfway, let's swim towards the island first." ”

The three of them stood on the shore with water-avoiding pills, looking hesitant.

"I want to go home again, and I don't want to spend my energy, where are there so many good things in the world." Hu Lan said, "If you want to go back to the human world, you can only do this. "Jump into the water. The fox also took the water pill and jumped into the water after him.

Hu Sang followed, he glanced at the three Terran boys a few times, and said, "Come on!" After this hurdle, we are one step closer to our dream. ”

It was impossible to go back, looking at the three fox heads that were gradually moving away in front of them, the three of them gritted their teeth, ate the water pill, and tentatively waded into the water, only praying in their hearts that they could ascend to the secret realm of Lingwu within twelve hours.

Sure enough, as Hu Lan said, the three people who ate the water repellent pill floated on the water without using any skills, without the slightest sense of pressure in their chests, and their breathing was smooth; Although there were rolling waves, with the help of water repellents, they were able to paddle out thirty or fifty meters with a slight flick of water on their arms, which made them relax a lot.

After a while, he adapted to the situation in the water and swam faster. When Rui Gong felt that his arm was slightly sore, and when he looked back, there was no shore in his sight; Turning his head again, he looked ahead, and the island stood faintly ahead, as if out of reach.

In the black water, Ke Zhenshi is not a good hand at sports, and at this time he has fully adapted to the water repellency, and he is as comfortable as a fish by the side of the leading Hulan. And Di Qingchuan was also unusual, not following the end of the large army, but tightly next to Husang and Huji, swimming in the middle of the team.

Instead, he became the last. But she wasn't in a hurry, she just followed the tail of the team. Her mind was haunted by the "twelve hours." Twelve hours, that is, twenty-four hours, a day; Although the current is extremely fast, a day swim is no joke. You can't be brave for a while, in case you haven't landed within twelve hours, that's when you really need to fight your strength.

About half an hour passed, Rui Gong was feeling tired, and suddenly saw Ke Zhenshi, who was swimming in the front, rolling and twisting a few times one after another, and diving into the water all of a sudden, she sneered in her heart, "It's really big-hearted, and at this time, there is still a heart to show off skills." ”

But this Ke Zhenshi sank but did not float. When he was puzzled, he saw Hu Lan rolling and twisting in the water like Ke Zhenshi before, and submerged in the water. Seeing this scene, the fox sang and the fox screamed and swam to the fox, but they didn't swim twice, and they also rolled and struggled into the water. And Di Qingchuan, who was following behind the Husang sisters and brothers, turned around and tried his best to swim back.

Rui Gong screamed in her heart, "Not good! I wanted to turn around, but suddenly I felt a chill in my legs, and then a sharp pain came, as if I was tightly entangled by something. I wanted to pull it with my hands, but I was desperately pulled down the water by the thing, and a mouthful of water choked into my chest, and I was suddenly out of breath. With a sigh of relief, she desperately waved her arms and tried to float upward, "Help...... Help me...... Save me ......" just showed his head, and through the turbulent splash, Rui Gong caught a glimpse of Di Qingchuan not far away who was also struggling desperately, and Hu Lan and they had long since disappeared.

The strength of the underwater thing was really great, and Rui Gong twisted his body desperately, and after struggling a few times, he felt exhausted, and was dragged into the water by his feet and neck, drowning the top of his head. After fully entering the water, Rui Gong opened his eyes, and the original inky blue water was now visible. But it didn't matter when they saw it, but they found that there were hundreds of black snake-like things rushing towards them under the water.

Rui Gong panicked in his heart, and only half of the breath in his mouth was left. As soon as she had calmed down, a black snake came to her, and she flashed sideways, reaching out and grabbing it. If you look closely, the snake's body is flat and wide, as if it has dark lines, and it is extremely slippery, and if you look closely, it is actually a water weed, and it is this thing that is wrapped around its feet.

"Is this the water serpent? Cast a mist before somebody's eyes. Rui Gong tore off the aquatic weed and threw it away, and said resentfully, "A few aquatic weeds want my life, it's really a dream." ”

She bent down, desperately pulled with her hands, bit her teeth fiercely, and tore off the aquatic weeds wrapped around her feet in a few strokes, but in the blink of an eye, more aquatic weeds rushed up like fish. As if it had its own consciousness, and as if it was being manipulated, it could sense her movements, and soon surrounded her, sealed her mouth, tied her shoulders, and dragged her arms.

The remaining half of the breath had leaked out in the bite, and through the gap in the aquatic plants, the water surface was getting farther and farther away from him, and he seemed to be dragged to a deep place, and Rui Gong gritted his teeth so that the black water would not pour into his mouth. But at this time, she only felt that her eyes were black, her ears were filled with the gurgling sound of water when the aquatic plants moved, her head was already dizzy, her chest was undulating, and the pain seemed to be about to burst.

"It's over...... I'm going to die like this...... I don't want to die...... Where are they...... Dead or already escaped...... No one saved me...... I can't save myself this time......"

The arm hung limply, a silver light flashed in a trance, and then, before the last trace of consciousness dissipated, Rui Gong seemed to vaguely see a silver fox swimming towards him.
