The turquoise waters of the lake were as clear as a single piece of flawless jade, and it was an irresistible temptation for two hungry and thirsty people who had walked through the dark and narrow tunnels for more than a dozen hours. 『≌，

Ma Xiuying cheered continuously, walked to the lake in a few steps, leaned over, and was about to reach out and pick up the water to drink.

At this moment, Zhu Chongba's heart suddenly moved, and he hurriedly shouted: "Stop, the water is poisonous!" As he spoke, he grabbed behind Ma Xiuying with an arrow and pulled her up.

"What are you doing?" Ma Xiuying was unprepared, and was pulled back several steps by Zhu Chongba, almost sitting on the mudflat.

"The water in this lake is poisonous, you can't drink it!" Zhu Chongba said loudly with a serious face.

Ma Xiuying looked at a large area of lake water, and felt even more fire in her throat, hearing Zhu Chongba say that the water was poisonous, she didn't dare to step forward for a while, but just stared at her eyes and asked: "How do you know that it is poisonous, this water is so clear, it looks like it is poisonous?"

"Look, although the lake water is clear, there is not even a single aquatic plant around, isn't it strange?" Zhu Chongba pointed around the water surface and said loudly.

Ma Xiuying listened to Zhu Chongbayi say, only then did she notice the surroundings, and as far as she could see, sure enough, the lake was clear, but the surrounding area was bare and grassless, only countless craggy strange rocks and crimson mudflats.

"It's a pity, such a good lake is poisonous, and I'm happy in vain!" Ma Xiuying was startled, and hurriedly jumped out a few feet away, far away from the red mudflat, for fear that the mudflat would also be poisonous and spread to herself.

Zhu Chong looked around, and saw that there seemed to be a river in the distance of the lake, and the water source came from that river, and the lake did not overflow, so it can be seen that there must be a channel for draining water underneath, because the water is living water, so it can be so clear, and the sound of water he heard is probably the sound of water flowing in the discharge channel.

"The lowly duty cannot confirm that the lake water is poisonous, but the situation here is strange, and the lowly duty does not dare to let the eldest lady miss the slightest. Zhu Chongba looked at Ma Xiuying and said softly.

Ma Xiuying had palpitations, looked at the lake and water, and after a while, she said faintly: "Thanks to your carefulness, you saved me again, thank you so much." ”

"Protecting the eldest lady is a lowly matter, and the eldest lady should not take it to heart. Zhu Chongba was startled, and hurriedly waved his hand and said.

"Hmph!" Ma Xiuying snorted when she heard this, and turned around.

Zhu Chongba didn't know why, he was stunned for a while, and then said, "Miss, let's continue to hurry." The lowly saw that there seemed to be a light ahead, probably an exit. ”

"Then you just go, what do you care about me?" Unexpectedly, Ma Xiuying came to such a sentence, which made Zhu Chong and the second monk confused.

"Miss, are you uncomfortable?" Hearing Zhu Chongba ask again in a daze, Ma Xiuying was even more annoyed, and said loudly: "As soon as I saw you, I felt uncomfortable all over my body. ”

No matter how stupid Zhu Chongba is, he knows that Ma Xiuying is losing his temper, but he doesn't know where he offended the eldest lady, and he doesn't dare to answer, so he stands aside.

Ma Xiuying lost her temper, looking at Zhu Chongbamu as if she was a wooden person, standing aside in a daze, and she didn't know how to comfort herself, and remembered that she had suffered so many grievances today, she couldn't help but feel sad, and she couldn't help it for a while, so she cried loudly.

Zhu Chongba saw that the eldest lady was crying like this, and he panicked even more, and his two hands nervously touched his body, trying to find a handkerchief or something, and wiped the tears of the eldest lady, but where do he usually bring any handkerchiefs, and after touching them for a long time, he didn't find anything.

I wanted to come up and say a few words of comfort, but I didn't know where to start, and I was sweating profusely for a while.

Ma Xiuying was still angry and anxious at first, so she started crying, crying for a while, and remembered that her father's life and death were uncertain, and now she was also unpredictable, and she and her father and mother were afraid that they would be separated from each other in the future, and they would never see each other again.

Zhu Chongba's head was sweating profusely, but he was helpless, so he could only stand aside and watch silently.

Ma Xiuying cried for a while, she was tired from crying, her voice was quiet, her head was lowered on her knees, the dark clouds on her head were scattered, and her shoulders were moving, obviously sobbing.

Zhu Chongba next to him saw Ma Xiuying slowly stop, he was relieved of his burden, and secretly breathed a long sigh of relief, he was a rough man, he knew how to march and fight on weekdays, and when he encountered girls, he was really helpless.

Finally, Ma Xiuying stopped sobbing, she took out a handkerchief from her arms, wiped her eyes, took a look at the lake again, straightened her hair, stood up, and looked at Zhu Chongba, who was full of care and horror next to her, staring at herself nervously, and couldn't help but snort again and laugh.

Zhu Chongba was completely dumbfounded at this time, watching the eldest lady burst into tears and laughing, and he didn't know what the reason was, so the eldest lady cried and laughed. Looking at Ma Xiuying again, she smiled, like a spring flower, with a few crystal tears on her face, really like a pear blossom with rain, her face was full of delicateness, indescribably bright and moving, and she couldn't help but look at it.

"What are you looking at stupidly? Don't leave quickly!" Ma Xiuying saw that Zhu Chongba was still looking at herself stupidly for a long time, and couldn't help blushing, and said in a low voice, "Time has delayed you." ”

Zhu Chongba's bitter screaming, and his heart finally completely understood the unreasonableness of this eldest lady. But he said, "Yes, Miss, let's continue on our way." ”

"Hmph!" Ma Xiuying's smile suddenly disappeared, her pretty face was flat, and she walked forward quickly, "Let's go, you follow behind Miss Ben." ”

Zhu Chongba hurriedly followed behind her, for fear that the eldest lady would make a mistake.

Bypassing the big lake, tracing the river upstream, here is replaced by a cobblestone path, but the surrounding is still not a single grass, and after walking for a while, I suddenly felt a slight cool breeze coming, and saw dozens of lights faintly in the distance ahead.

"There must be an exit ahead, let's go quickly!" Ma Xiuying was surprised when she saw the lights, and hurriedly turned around and urged.

There is wind coming, which means that it is indeed about to reach the exit, and judging from the monster I killed just now, that kind of monster has lived at the bottom of the cave for a long time, and it has no eyes at all, so it doesn't need lights.

Zhu Chongba was also ecstatic in his heart, but he was cautious by nature, and he couldn't help but touch the black and white double sword on his back with his hand.

However, not long after being happy, Zhu Chongba felt that something was wrong, obviously feeling as if someone was following him, but he couldn't see any traces, and at the same time, the black and white double sword on his back trembled slightly, as if he was warning him.

Ma Xiuying didn't notice it this time, she was just silent all the way, looked up at the front, and didn't talk to Zhu Chongba at all.

"It's not good, Miss, quickly back off. Zhu Chong looked at the front and back of him, walking and walking, and suddenly found that the scenery behind him changed, as if a bubble in the water exploded, revealing the things inside, the dark tunnel suddenly became a big platform, and countless thick trees appeared on both sides of his body, and when he looked up, he could only see the trunk of the tree that was not high, and he didn't know whether it was blocked by the branches and leaves of the big tree, or it was still under the ground at all.

At the same time, the light behind him dimmed, and a group of soldiers in green armor quietly appeared, as well as a few white-clothed monsters like the monster just now.

"It's not good, my life is over now!" Zhu Chongba's heart was cold, and he reached out to pull out the black and white swords behind his back, and at the same time protected Ma Xiuying in front of him with one hand.

Ma Xiuying is not afraid now, and shouted loudly: "You don't have to worry about me." While also looking for her own saber from her waist, she rolled and crawled in the tunnel, how embarrassed, the saber on her body had long been unknown where it had fallen, and where to find it for a while.

It seems that these people are not in a hurry to kill themselves and Ma Xiuying, they just slowly surrounded them in a semicircle, and when they got closer, Zhu Chongba saw that the soldiers in green armor were no different from normal people, except that their skin was pale, as if they had crawled out of the graveyard.

The key to the black and white double swords seems to be ineffective, Zhu Chongba scratched behind him for a long time with one hand, but the two swords seemed to be made of pig iron, and they didn't move at all. Zhu Chongba kept scolding in his heart, so he had to stretch out his hand and his waist knife again.

There were three monsters in white in total, and they seemed to feel Zhu Chongba's nervousness, so they stopped and waved their hands, and the green armored soldiers behind them were nine in total, and those soldiers stepped forward quickly, and one of them said in a very stiff voice: "Who are you? Why are you here?"

"As long as you can talk. Zhu Chongba couldn't help but let go of most of his heart when he saw that the other party could speak human words, but who he was, but he didn't know what to say for a while, so he was stunned for a while, and hurriedly said: "Down is Zhu Chongba under the command of Marshal Guo Zixing of the Righteous Army, this is Miss Guo Dashuai's daughter, it is a pure misunderstanding that the two of us came here, we don't know where this is at all." ”

After hearing this, the soldier shook his head, as if he didn't know what Zhu Chongba was talking about, and another soldier behind him asked, "Who is Guo Zixing?

Only then did Zhu Chongba remember that the other party might be an old monster who had been staying underground, where did he know what the righteous army and Zhu Chongba were, and he might not even know who the current emperor was. So, scratching his head again, he said: "I and our eldest lady intruded unintentionally, and now I just want to go out, and if I offend, I hope to forgive my sins." ”

A soldier in front of him listened, and said loudly in words that he didn't know what to say, and muttered for a while, Ma Xiuying was startled, and after a while, he realized that the soldier was speaking to the three monsters behind, and what he said should be their own language.
