Chapter 40: Waterhole Hot Springs
However, when it came time to descend the mountain, Naan stopped leading the way.
Seeing Na'an withdraw, Qiao He Ghost took the initiative to take the responsibility of opening the way.
Naan, who had returned to the group, followed closely to Jack's left and right.
For hours on the team, Sarah has been speculating about why he suddenly gave up his exam and wanted to go back to town. I didn't have a clue all along, but just now I saw two people pretending to rest, but they looked around. And they seem to have come back to this mountain in search of something.
Although she had a big doubt in her heart, Sarah couldn't afford to ask anything directly, so she could only wait for the night camp to secretly ask Na'an about something. I just don't know if Na'an knows that he is the great magician who has been hot lately!
After crossing the hill of battle, the march of the people was greatly accelerated. Since there were not many people left in the examination room at this time, everyone was heading towards the next meeting point for the exam, but occasionally there were some students on the road who were also evacuating the examination room.
Unlike them, who were covered in bruises, not only were not a single member of Sarah's team injured, but judging from the armbands, everyone was a senior classman. Many passers-by watched Sarah's team pass by with puzzled expressions.
The day's journey ends in tiring and dullness, when the sun is about to set. Everyone has found a campsite and is ready to spend the night!
The camp was where Sarah's team had used before, only this time they had returned. Next to the campsite is a small waterfall with a drop of 2 people, and below the waterfall is a huge pool.
The reason why their team chose this place is because of its proximity to the water source. But this camp is not an ideal campsite in Jack's eyes. Although the waterfall does not flow much, it still has a huge sound of flowing water. This sound can completely drown out the sound of approaching footsteps.
If it's just for water, they have a magician in their squad, and he can get the water he needs for life from the air.
Although I was not satisfied with the location, it was not a battlefield, and there were not many people passing by. Jack sat down obediently, ready to get a place to sleep at night.
Naan knew that Jack didn't want to sleep on the ground, so she accompanied him to cut down trees and build a platform on them for the night.
Fortunately, with the effect of the magic wind blade, cutting down some tree trunks can be done in just a few minutes.
Sarah's team just laid out their sleeping bags next to the campfire, and at most they just got some branches and leaves on the ground. Even Sarah, the only woman on the team, had no special treatment, not even a tent. Although there were no tents, in order to prevent rain at night, they built a roof stacked with tree branches.
When Sarah's team set up camp, Jack, with Naan's cooperation, also built his own tree cabin.
"I'm going to fetch some water and get ready to cook!" said archer Peter Arka, looking at the crowd as he held the prey he had shot that afternoon.
"Having an archer is happiness, and every day there is game to eat!" said Jack, sitting on his cabin, looking condescendingly at the people on the ground.
Listening to the cool words in the trees, the rest of Sarah's team looked at each other with disdain. Sarah, on the other hand, looked up at Jack with a smile and said, "He's not only a good archer, but also a skilled chef! โ
"Thank you. I'm going to eat a little more at that point. After Jack finished speaking, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head to look at Na'an and said, "There is a waterhole in the waterfall over there, do you want to take a shower at night?" Although Jack had lowered his voice, the people below still heard it clearly.
"Shameless..."
"How could the Twin Blades Clan? theyโ" Qiao He Ghost couldn't figure out why Naan had come together with a magician. Her destination should be the young talent of the assassin family, right! But about other people's affairs, Qiao He didn't want to talk too much, so he pretended not to hear what he said just now.
Na'an opened her big watery eyes and didn't know how to respond to him.
Jack himself wanted to take a bath. Even though it's a man, it's still possible to take a shower at least within two days. Coupled with the fact that he is a magician, he doesn't have to worry about bath water, so Jack has always had good personal hygiene habits.
"It just so happens that I want to take a shower too, Na'an will accompany you to wash later!" Sarah came forward in time to resolve Na'an's embarrassment.
"Okay!" Naan couldn't figure out why Jack would say such ambiguous things. This rich young master doesn't seem to know much about human affairs! Now Naan is becoming more and more curious about his family history. But she couldn't figure out that Jack Sparrow's family belonged to that country. Because she had never heard of a nobleman worthy of the tears of the goddess with the surname Sparrow.
The archers quickly finished their food and rushed back with buckets full of water.
While everyone was helping with the food, Jack planned to take a shower first. When I finish taking a shower, I believe that dinner will be ready when I come back.
Seeing Jack jumping out of the treehouse and heading towards the waterfall alone, Na An was a little worried. Although the camp was only thirty meters away from the waterfall, since seeing the corpse swallowed by the spatial rift, Na'an's alertness was immediately hoisted high, and she was now in the best state of battle at all times. Especially just now, when she was helping to make the tree house, she saw a drop of blood on a leaf high up.
When everyone saw Jack leaving alone, they all guessed that he wanted to go to the waterhole of the waterfall to bathe. So no one asked him what he was doing!
Sarah didn't care about it at first, but when she accidentally saw Naan looking nervously in the direction of the waterfall from time to time, she was inexplicably alert.
What could make an Assassin so restless! If a woman is forcibly described as an idiot when she is in love, Sarah obviously doesn't think so either.
"You're worried about him!" Sarah asked with a sudden pun.
Sarah is now very sure that Jack is the great magician with the power of the Holy Magister, and she wants to ask if Naan knows his details. Second, she also wanted to understand why they suddenly gave up on the exam, and they were mysterious along the way.
"Rest assured, there are no ambushes around here. Qiao He Ghost looked at his little sister and shook his head helplessly and comforted.
Wouldn't it be nice for you to find an assassin as a boyfriend, and you don't have to worry about him like this. If the other party encounters something, a stealth can slip away. Now, I can find a first-year magic rookie, although judging from his ability to cast the wind blade just now, he should not be just a first-year level. But after all, it still feels like it's too far from Na'an's strength. The two of them don't have the slightest sense of matching at all.
"If you're not at ease, you can goโ" Sarah didn't know what Naan was worried about, but she didn't seem to know what to say except to ask her to go over and take a look.
"Yes, you can go and see, if you let the fish in the river eat it, it will be over. The other members of the team also took the opportunity to joke.
Naan didn't know if she should go over now, or wait here for him to come back.
"The two of them are just ordinary strangers, and they have just met, although he has saved himself, there is no need to care about him so much!"
"It's so magical..."Just as everyone was still teasing, suddenly the magician of Sarah's team, Kope Tulan, stood up sharply, looked in the direction of the waterfall and shouted.
"It's not good...", something very bad suddenly occurred to Naan's mind. The image in her mind now was that Jack was being consumed by a dark spatial rift.
"Whoosh...", after turning around, he drew two long swords from the ground and quickly moved towards the waterfall.
"So fast!" Qiao He Ghost Shadow, as an assassin companion, saw Na'an's assault move, and knew that the strength of the two people was not on the same plane. But the better Naan is, the more he feels that Jack is not worthy of him.
The camp was only thirty meters away from the waterfall, and several ups and downs had already reached the edge of the waterfall pool first.
"Ahh
While hearing Naan's screams, several others also rushed to the scene of the crime.
"!"
"Oh my God!"
โ... Whew!"
Everyone felt that the picture in front of them was spicy.
I saw that Jack was standing naked on the edge of the waterhole at this moment.
And the huge magical aura that the magician sensed just now was just a super huge fireball technique condensed by Jack.
The waterhole of the waterfall is about 20 meters in diameter. And the fireball summoned by Jack is 10 meters in diameter, to say the least.
At this point, the fireball was slowly merging into the center of the pool.
When the hot fireball met the icy water, the water vapor was stirred.
Originally, he saw that the fireball had been half submerged in the water, but suddenly heard a scream behind him, and Jack was distracted for a while. The huge fireball suddenly lost control and sank to the bottom of the water in an instant. For a moment, water vapor filled the entire forest area.
"What are you doing!" came Jack's dissatisfied voice in the mist.
Although the scene is out of control, the water in the entire pool has been completely heated, and now it feels like a hot spring in the water, not to mention how refreshing it is.
Seeing that Jack was okay, the rest of the team began to leave one by one. In the end, only Sarah and the magician from her team remained, and Naan, who was blushing to the neck on the shore.
Magician Cope Tulan didn't expect that the first-year rookie in front of him would have such powerful magical power. It is not difficult to condense a fireball technique, but the difficult thing is to control it in time. It is already difficult to condense in the hand and not launch it, and it is still such a large volume of fireball, and it is even more difficult to blend with ice and water, ice and fire are incompatible, this is natural common sense, and magic energy will not be an exception, when ice and fire magic appear at the same time, there will be serious disorders, which is also an important reason why it is difficult for magicians with ice and fire dual cultivation to have top masters.
"But the man in front of you isโ" Kope Tulan's pride was shattered, and after a few seconds, he obediently turned around and walked back to the camp.
"What a daze, do you want to take a hot spring together!" After swimming in the water for a while, the mist slowly dissipated. Seeing that Naan was still at the waterhole, Jack took the initiative to greet her and said.
Hearing Jack's voice, Naan ran away without looking back.
Sarah was also a little embarrassed and walked back to camp with Naan!
