224. Under the obsession in the depths of the river
Inluo looked at her suspiciously, thinking of her state after waking up from the dream ability just now, and had a rough guess, "What you saw in the dream just now?" ”
"Well, Major General, do you have a way to take me to the bottom of the lake? I want to see her. Xia Xihe's eyes flashed with a special brilliance.
"Yes." Because Luo bowed his head, he knew that she in Xia Xihe's mouth should be the deity of the shadow, but ......
Let her see for herself.
In the depths of the lake, there is no sunlight that can be seen from above when you raise your eyes like in a dream, and there are no small stones that can refract colorful luster like gemstones.
If Inlo hadn't told her that she had reached the bottom of the lake, she wouldn't have reached her destination.
Several blazing fires erupted from Inluo's fingertips, forcibly lighting up the dark bottom of the lake, but the structure of the lake bottom was no longer what it looked like in a dream.
The hole where Chenglan used to lick his wounds is gone.
For a while, Xia Xihe didn't know how to find Chenglan, and suddenly a low voice appeared in her mind before waking up from a dream, which seemed to be bitter and seemed to be singing.
Perhaps, with that voice, you can try.
"Uh......h Woo, woo woo~" Without thinking about it, Xia Xihe naturally whispered out that series of tones, unconsciously closed his eyes, and uncontrollably floated that scene in his mind.
That simple and beautiful mermaid came here for the sake of her beloved, but in the end what she got was deception, she really paid wrong, and her eyes were gouged out......
The princess, who was once loved by the fish-people and protected in the palm of her hand, ended up in such a fate.
The corners of Xia Xihe's eyes were unconsciously moist, and two lines of tears flowed.
"Woo...... Woo ......" An ethereal and melodious voice came from afar, singing with Xia Xihe's low chant, like a duet.
As soon as that voice appeared, Xia Xihe sensed that the voice was familiar to her, as if she had really been with her for more than a hundred years.
The tip of Yin Luo's ear moved slightly, and he didn't interrupt Xia Xihe's low groan, and directly used the ice ability to condense a cold ice path that led to the source of the sound.
The water of the lake mixed with the dream element was repelled by the ice, which greatly improved the visibility of the ice passage condensed by Inluo.
Xia Xihe's singing continued, stepping on the ice passage and slowly approaching the source.
After getting closer, Xia Xihe felt that the location in front of her was very familiar, that is, in the stone crevice where she had been before the dream was shattered.
The humming song slowly stopped, listening to the intermittent whispering from the stone cracks, Xia Xihe gently stroked the stone wall, and asked cautiously inside, "Chenglan, are you inside?" ”
The staccato murmur came to an abrupt end.
"You...... Don't be afraid, I won't hurt you. Xia Xihe suddenly felt a little at a loss.
In the dream, she is accompanying Chenglan as a bystander, she can cry with Chenglan, she can laugh with Chenglan, because she is nothing, non-existent, she can't see herself. But now she has to really face Chenglan, and after learning about her experience, she doesn't know where to start with some comforting words.
There was no sound from the crack in the stone, so quiet that Xia Xihe seemed to be able to hear the sound of his heart beating.
"I'm in, Chenglan." Xia Xihe walked slowly inward along the stone crack.
The stone gap is very narrow, only allowing one person to pass through, Yin Luo followed behind Xia Xihe, the reason why Xia Xihe was so relieved to walk in front alone was because when he fought with the shadow before, the shadow did not mean to kill people, as if it was just expelling him.
However, even if there was any change in the shadow, he was sure that he could protect Xia Xihe.
After walking about two or three meters, a narrow stone crevice suddenly opened, it was a very narrow cave, a shadow leaned against the edge of the cave, and in the center of the cave there was a fist-sized 'crystal ball', emitting a misty light.
"Starlight." At a glance, Inlo saw the 'crystal ball' in the center.
"Chenglan ......" Xia Xihe looked at the back shrouded in the shadows and slowly walked towards her.
"That's you...... It invaded my memory just now, and let me experience it again......" is Chenglan's voice, but her voice is not as ethereal and melodious as in a dream, but exudes a deep sorrow.
“…… I'm sorry. Xia Xihe was slightly stunned and apologized to her, no one wants to experience such a painful memory a second time, right?
It's just how did he invade her memory? She doesn't seem to have done anything, does she? Could it be that the energy of the transparent bubble was devoured at that time, which led to it entering her memory?
"Then you should know that I can't leave this lake, so the star can't give it to you, so you can leave." There was a shadow jumping around Cheng Lan's body.
"Huh?" Xia Xihe didn't know what Xingcui meant, and was a little confused for a while.
"The essence of the star represents the vitality of a life star, when the star of life goes to decay, the star essence located in the center of the earth is divided and broken, and only a small number of star essence break out of the earth, which can maintain the vitality of a pure land. Look at the transparent sphere in the center, which is the star that keeps the neighborhood alive. Yin Luo explained to Xia Xihe in a few words.
So, if they take away the essence, the lake will dry up, wither, decay, and eventually cease to exist, just like the rest of the planet.
"Then we ......" Xia Xihe couldn't bear it, and wanted to persuade Inluo to give up receiving this piece of star essence.
Inluo interrupted lightly, "Before pleading for her, why don't you go and see her first!" If I'm not mistaken, she's already ...... He's dead. ”
He's dead?!
When Xia Xihe heard this, his eyes widened instantly, and he looked at Yin Luo incredulously. Suddenly, she hurried a few steps towards the figure leaning in the shadows.
As she walked in, she finally saw the figure in the shadows.
I saw Chenglan's huge and gorgeous fishtail being hugged by her in a posture of hugging her knees and burying her head, the pink scales flowing with a faint halo, the white lotus-like jade arms, the waist that Yingying grasped, and the long pink hair with wavy curls like a waterfall, time seemed to have left no traces of time on her body, and she was still thrillingly beautiful.
Is she really dead? For a moment, Xia Xihe had doubts about Yin Luo's judgment.
"Chenglan?" Xia Xihe couldn't help but call softly.
The figure remained motionless, like a sculpture.
At this time, a black shadow was refracted beside Chenglan, and Xia Xihe could see from the silhouette that she was Chenglan!
"You...... You're alive?! Xia Xihe shouted at the shadow in surprise.
"Take those two and leave." The two men were referring to Pitch and Sunny Ny, paused, and then Shadow said, "Although I can't help you, you can't kill me, and you can't take the stars." ”
"In a few years, this star will run out, and it will still decay. You're long gone, so why stay here? Yin Luo walked to Xia Xihe's side, stared at the shadow in the distance and said calmly.
Although some disagree with the major general to take away the star essence here, they are also curious if Chenglan is really dead, then why does she linger here?
Isn't this the source of her greatest pain?
"I'm waiting for my people......" The shadowy voice seemed a little lonely and lonely, "After the death of our fishmen, there will be a special fluctuation that my family can sense regardless of the distance in the star field, and I am waiting for them to come and take me home." ”
Xia Xihe's heart shook suddenly, and the last sentence 'I'm waiting for them to take me home' deeply touched Xia Xihe.
It turned out that she was waiting for her family! Oh, yes! After so many years of being in a foreign country, she stared at the sky every night and missed her relatives, and now that she is gone, how she wants to see her family again, and see the blue planet that gave birth to her and raised her.
"You've been waiting for a thousand years, and you should know they won't be coming to pick you up." Judging from the cave and the degree of condensation of the shadow in front of him, Inluo can roughly judge the existence time of this shadow.
"Nope! No! You're not right! You're not right! The shadow fluctuated violently twice, and his voice was sharp, "I don't want to see you again!" Get out of here! Leave! Otherwise, don't blame me, you're welcome! ”
Her last glimmer of hope was punctured by Inlo's bluntness, and she naturally couldn't bear it and didn't want to face it.
The water in the cave started to rush in an instant!
Feeling the oppression of the surrounding lake, Xia Xihe was a little distressed, and he also complained a little about Yin Luo's tone for a while, "Major General, what you said is too straightforward." ”
"Really?" Inlo pursed his lips, a flash of thought flashed in his pale blue eyes, and at the same time, a huge amount of ability poured out of his palm, enveloping the two of them from the flow of water.
"Boom-" The turbulent black water rushed the two out directly!
The cold ice corridor condensed by Yin Luo outside the stone crack was also shattered in an instant by the impact of energy containing terrifying abilities.
The two were sent to the lake in the blink of an eye!
"It's over, Chenglan definitely doesn't want to see me anymore now......" Xia Xihe pouted and glanced at Yinluo.
The corners of Yin Luo's eyes twitched slightly, he was a little speechless, paused, used his ability to push away the surrounding lake water and condensed into ice, closed his eyes, and said coldly, "That's just an obsession of that fish before her death, absorbing a lot of complex energy and twisting it, she is no longer her, don't think too much." ”
Hearing this, Xia Xihe's eyes darkened, such a beautiful person still passed away with regret after all......
"Go and wait for me on the shore, and I'll come when I go." Yin Luo wanted to send Xia Xihe ashore.
"What are you going to do to her?!" Xia Xihe grabbed Yin Luo's hand and asked anxiously.
"Won't do anything, just let her go where she needs to go." "We've been here for too long, and don't forget the purpose of our trip. ”
Could it be that the Major General intends to forcibly seize the Star Essence?!
Xia Xihe frowned, and suddenly pleaded with Yinluo, "Lord Major General, let me try again, okay?" I'm sure I'll be able to convince her! ”
