Chapter XXIII
"Why is it so fast?" Seeing Tianyou and Bai Bingyu coming back, Ying Ying and they were all a little surprised, but Ying Ying quickly noticed that the expression on Bai Bingyu's face was wrong. "What's wrong?"
"We ran into a pursuer, a man from the Temple of the Night. ”
"Night God Temple?" Mu Ruyu said in surprise, "How dare they ......?"
"It may be that we got rid of the original pursuers and forced Yinghai to be in a hurry. Ying Ying thought for a while and said, "No, we have to leave immediately." Can't stay here. ”
"We're just back to inform you of the transfer. ”
"But we haven't decided which way to go yet!" Yin Ruhua reminded.
Ying Ying was still frowning and pondering, Tianyou had already taken the lead and said, "Don't think about it, let's go to the Valley of the Hundred Beasts." ”
Everyone looked at Tianyou, waiting for him to give an explanation, and Tianyou also knew that this kind of major decision could not make everyone feel at ease if he didn't say why. "Originally, it was almost the same which path we chose, but now that we have pursuers behind us, the Valley of the Hundred Beasts is the best choice. ”
Lu Zhengyi did not directly oppose this time, but asked, "Why?"
"Because you have me. Tianyou originally wanted to make a joke to liven up the atmosphere, but he didn't expect that everyone around him had a straight face, and there was no one to cooperate, so he could only explain helplessly: "I am very familiar with the Valley of Beasts, but the guys in the back are definitely not familiar, I can take you through safely, but they will be threatened by demon beasts and spirit demons, even if they can't be stopped, it should be no problem to help us buy some time." So, it's the best option. ”
"Okay, let's go to the Valley of the Hundred Beasts. After hearing this explanation, Ying Ying finally made up her mind.
In order to spend the night at night, everyone has taken out a lot of things in the Qiankun bag, but now they are fleeing for their lives, and they have no time to clean up anymore. After packing up the few necessities, the group quickly left the cave.
Tianyou was the last to come out, picked up a stone from the side, squatted down and stuffed the stone under the big stone blocking the door. Stood up and pushed the boulder twice, but this time it was basically not moving. Nodding with satisfaction, Tianyou turned around and ran to the front of the team to lead everyone towards the Valley of the Hundred Beasts.
"Do any of you know how to swim?" Thinking of the river at the entrance, Tianyou suddenly remembered that he should ask everyone if they could swim.
"You should ask the other way around, does anyone will?" Qin Bo made a rare joke.
Tianyou was stunned for a moment. Yes, these people are all children of the powerful, and they are all sisters except for Lu Zhengyi. Although the people of Qin Di are fierce, there are not so many restrictions, but women are women after all, how can they go into the water casually? What if they are seen?
"I will. Unexpectedly, Bai Bingyu and Ying Ying actually said that they could swim together, and even Qin Bo was a little surprised, obviously he didn't know that these two were originally able to swim.
The two explained Tianyou and knew that Bai Bingyu was the daughter of the general, and her style was very strong, and if she wanted to play in the water, she would let her subordinates surround a certain section of the river or lake, which eye didn't want it, just peek at one and try it. As for Ying Ying...... I actually practiced it in the pool.
"My deer pond is still quite large, and the water temperature is low, but it's just right to play in the water. ”
Luchi Tianyou has heard that it is a hot spring, but it is said that the water temperature is not high, King Qin doesn't like it very much, and he hasn't been to it much since he built a Zhuangzi, but he didn't expect Ying Ying to learn to swim there. However, it is a royal garden, and ordinary people dare not go without an invitation, so except for Ying Ying, the others do not have such good benefits.
Lu Zhengyi is unexpectedly good at water, and so is Uncle Qin, and it is said that the water is not bad.
"Then now it's Lu Meng, Miss Yin, and Miss Mu who don't know water, right?" Tianyou thought for a while and said, "Then in this way, princess, you will take Miss Yin in a while, and Bai Bingyu will take Lu Meng, who do you want Miss Mu to take you?"
"I'm just average, I'm fine, I'm afraid I can't lead people. Ying Ying said with some embarrassment.
"Then Miss Yin and Miss Mu will choose others by themselves. ”
Yin Ruhua and Mu Ruyu looked at Lu Zhengyi when they heard this, but Lu Zhengyi made a difficulty. If he could, of course he wanted to bring both beauties, but he also knew that his level was enough to bring one person, and two were really blessed.
"I can only bring one, you can decide to allocate it yourself. Lu Zhengyi had no choice but to push the trouble out and let them choose for themselves.
The two women wanted Lu Zhengyi to take them, but they refused to give in, and almost quarreled, but in the end, Yingying came forward to make the distribution.
When everyone walked all the way to the entrance of the Valley of the Hundred Beasts, it was almost dusk, and the roar of the beast came from the cave, and the black and swarthy entrance of the cave was like a monster that chose to devour people. Yin Ruhua and Mu Ruyi shirked all kinds of accusations, saying that God blessed them, but the meaning was obvious, they just didn't want to go in. Even Lu Meng was a little timid, but she could still control her emotions and didn't show it, but the two of them were already a little out of control.
Tianyou found that Bai Bingyu was glancing at the place where the body was thrown before, and quickly shook his head and motioned for her not to say it. Bai Bingyu is not stupid, those two are already like that, and she told them that there were still corpses soaked in the water, and it was estimated that these two would collapse directly.
"Do we have to go here?" Ying Ying was already a little impatient, although the two daughters were emotionally out of control, they still knew that they could not disobey the princess, so they could only plead resignedly, like two angry little daughters-in-law.
Tianyou took advantage of the time they had to comfort the two of them to say hello to Bai Bingyu, and then ran to the mountain forest on the side, and came back with a bunch of things after a while.
"What is it?" Bai Bingyu asked in a low voice as he looked at Tianyou holding a bunch of things.
"For them. Tianyou said and picked up a bunch of bamboo tubes threaded with rope from the ground, walked to Ying Ying's side, and briefly explained how to use it. She knew that it was useless to tell the two eldest ladies, and they would definitely not remember.
Things are actually very simple, Ying Ying understood after listening to them once. These strung bamboo tubes are actually simple pontoons, which are threaded with rope and fixed to the arm, just like the water sleeves used by children when they learn to swim. Of course, this is not very convenient, but anyway, as long as it can keep those two from sinking.
Under Ying Ying's semi-coercion, the two finally tied up the bamboo tube, and then Tianyou also sent one to the others, which can increase the buoyancy a little. But the most important purpose is not to do this, but to take the opportunity to help them tie the pontoons and quietly apply snake grass essential oil to them.
Don't forget that there are shallow crocodiles underwater. But considering the emotions of those two, Tianyou is not easy to say. They were already scared like that, and then telling them that there was a shallow water crocodile in the water, wouldn't it stimulate them? But smart people are always smart people, Ying Ying, Bai Bingyu and Qin Bo all discovered Tianyou's small movements, Qin Bo, the old Jianghu, even guessed the purpose just by smelling it, but he also knew Tianyou's concerns and helped hide it together.
After everyone was ready to stop, they all went down to the water at the request of God and began to adapt to the water temperature.
The river flowing out of the Valley of the Beasts is actually glacial meltwater, so the water temperature is still very low even after passing through the entire Valley of the Beasts. That is to say, these people are all cultivators, they have a good foundation, and they can bear it. If you go down to an ordinary person, you will have cramps for three minutes and burps for five minutes, unless you have practiced winter swimming, you will die one by one.
Seeing that these people were shivering from the cold, Tianyou suddenly said: "Don't just think about the cold water, think about it, this is the only way to enter the valley, and if the chasing soldiers want to catch up, we have to pass through here." You have the experience I provided, and you can adapt to it in advance, and those people will follow in a daze, and maybe a few will drown. We didn't even have to move a finger to kill a few pursuers, what a good thing. ”
Hearing Tianyou say this, everyone suddenly came to the spirit, thinking about the cramps in the legs after the chasing soldiers went into the water, and wished that the water could be colder again.
