Hearing Ji Qiu's words, the three of them changed their faces greatly, and they looked at each other, if it was as Ji Qiu said, on the way to the Soul Suppression Alliance, the three of them might be intercepted and murdered by the rebel blood guards.

Seeing that the three of them were worried, Ji Qiu said, "Fortunately, you have noble people to help, and the four corpses we saw earlier should have been deliberately moved here by someone to remind you to be more careful." ”

"Not without reason. Lin Pingsheng nodded.

"How about now?" Ji Xiao looked at Ji Haoran.

"Ahem," Ji Haoran coughed dryly, cleared his throat, and then said, "Even if we are brave and fearless, we have to be more careful, there is no shelter here, when we leave here as soon as possible, hurry up, travel day and night, and rush to the Soul Alliance as soon as possible." ”

Ji Haoran said, Ji Xiao and Lin Pingsheng nodded in agreement, because of the back and forth, the horses are tired, and they are not very eager to urge the horses forward, and it is not very hard for Ji Qiu to ride a donkey to follow.

After more than ten miles, there was a fork in the road, according to the road guide, the three of them diverted to the southeast, the Town Soul League is located in the South Spirit Wilderness, and the South Spirit Waste is located in the south direction of Yunyang City, due to the many twists and turns in the road, it is roughly estimated that it will take at least half a month to rush to the Town Soul League.

The four of them had never walked this road, and they could only follow the road to move forward, because they had not slept all night yesterday, and the four of them had no energy, and they walked dozens of miles and entered the dense forest area again.

After walking a short distance, they encountered a stream flowing from north to south, Ji Haoran and the three of them tied their horses to rest, and Ji Qiu built a fire and prepared lunch for the three of them.

Get water nearby, make a fire to cook porridge, wait until the bonfire is lit, Ji Qiu will look for dry firewood from nearby, it is summer, dry firewood is difficult to find, so he walked farther, just when he returned to the camp with dry firewood, he found that Ji Haoran and others were gone, and the horse and donkey were still tied to the tree, which showed that the three of them did not go far.

"Uncle?" Ji Qiu shouted as he looked around.

"Here. Ji Haoran's voice came from a short distance to the south.

Ji Qiu first added firewood to the stove, and then searched downstream along the stream.

Walking out of the hundred and ten zhang, I saw Ji Haoran and others, and when I saw the three of them, he also saw a deep lake, the three of them stood by the lake, and not far from them, there was a huge bird struggling and screaming, and the three of them were watching and watching.

Ji Qiu walked closer quickly, tilted his head to look, this is a huge white crane, with red eyes and a wingspan, and the saddle on its back indicates that it has a master.

The crane had several arrows stuck in its chest and abdomen, its left wing was broken, and its right leg was also cut off, and it lost a lot of blood and was very seriously injured.

"This crane must be the mount of a monk. Ji Xiao said.

Ji Haoran nodded and looked at Lin Pingsheng, "How is it, is there any salvation?"

Lin Pingsheng shook his head and said, "It was too seriously injured, it lost too much blood, and it was unable to return to the sky." ”

While the three of them were talking, Ji Qiu pointed to the lake, "Look." ”

The three of them turned their heads when they heard the sound, and looked at the lake according to Ji Qiu's point, this lake is about two miles in a radius, not very big, but not small, the pool is blue, both clear and deep, and there is a person floating in the west-west area in the middle of the lake, face down, life and death are unknown, and men and women do not distinguish between men and women.

"It's a friar. Ji Xiao fixed his eyes and looked into the distance.

"How do you know if she's male or female?" asked Ji Qiu.

Ji Xiao didn't answer, although Ji Qiu is also a blood relative of the Ji family, but because Ji Qiu has been following Ji Haoran, in the eyes of everyone, he is Ji Haoran's follower, although he doesn't hate him, he also looks down on him a little.

After observing the traces of the white crane's struggle, Lin Pingsheng said, "Not long after this giant crane fell, the female monk didn't fall into the water for long. ”

"Ji Qiu, save her. Ji Haoran turned his head to look at Ji Qiu.

Ji Qiu frowned when he heard this, like this kind of wilderness lake, which is likely to contain giant python insects, if it is easy to enter the water, it is likely to be dragged and preyed on.

When Ji Qiu hesitated, Lin Pingsheng said, "The lake has a god, and you can't go into the water easily." ”

After thinking eagerly, Ji Qiu began to unbutton her, "Let's save her, you go to the east and throw stones into the lake from a high place, if there is really something in the lake, it can attract their attention, and don't come to bite me." ”

The three nodded in agreement, and Ji Qiu took off his coat and went into the water tremblingly.

The water of the lake was cool and cold, and when the three of them threw stones into the lake from elsewhere, Ji Qiu slowly swam towards the female monk who was floating on the water.

Swim out of ten feet, no accidents.

Swim out of twenty feet, and there is no water monster to bite and pull feet underwater.

Thirty zhang later, Ji Qiu's heart is much more steady, this lake is very clear, and there should be no danger lurking underwater.

Cautiously swam to the side of the female monk, Ji Qiu turned it over, Ji Xiao had not seen it before, although this person was wearing a monk's green robe, but it was a young woman.

Since she was in the water, she didn't have time to examine the monk's injuries, and although the monk's face was pale, her limbs were not cold, and she could feel the heat in her chest and neck when she dragged it.

Since the nun had fainted to death, she didn't feel much difficulty when she dragged it, but after swimming back, she heard Ji Haoran shouting from the east side of the lake, "Ji Qiu, be careful." ”

Ji Qiu was already scared, but when he heard Ji Haoran's shout, his hairs stood on end in fright, "What?"

"There. Ji Haoran and the others pointed to the southwest at the same time.

Ji Qiu followed the three of them and looked at the head, and instantly broke out in a cold sweat, and a gray python the size of a bucket was winding into the water from the grass in the southwest of the lake, swimming towards him......
