Chapter 42: Nine Turns Star Lake

The sky had already darkened, and the formation of the Evil Devouring Lord was only temporarily trapping those flying fish, so the only way to do this was to continue to move forward, and to leave this dense forest in the dark. The five of them all got off the trees and swam forward, from the desert to the dense forest in the water now, the road was very bumpy, and it was not bad for this time.

The water gradually became less turbulent than before, but it was still very deep, and the five of them helped each other to continue in the direction indicated by the astrolabe, and in order to pass through some obstacles or cross a big tree, they either swam or dive or climbed trees, and the blind man who was not familiar with the water not only learned to swim and hold his breath underwater, but also climbed the tree very neatly, and was simply a master of learning.

After walking for about three or four hours, she was still in the dense forest and couldn't see the end, at this time she was already sleepy and tired, she really couldn't walk, Xiao Qingqian hung on the tree and closed her eyes to fall asleep, and then she simply stopped to rest, she found a branch and sat down and fell asleep.

The blind man sat quietly next to her and did not sleep, always paying attention to the movement in the woods, now there is no pursuit of the flying fish, it is very quiet and there is no sound of the wind, the surrounding is dark, the thunder roaring tiger and the three of them fall asleep very quickly, and they snored in an instant.

Unconsciously, the sky was already bright, the second half of the night was quite stable, Xiao Qingqian woke up in the numbness of his arm, because the person was still in a trance, a moment when he accidentally did not sit firmly and was about to fall from the branch, the blind man on the side reacted quickly and cleverly grabbed her.

"Huh??" Xiao Qingqian, who was hooked in the air by the blind man, didn't fully wake up at all, she got up and didn't have a seizure, if she had an attack, the tree might have been beaten. She hung in the air for a long time before she reacted: "Hey, pull me up quickly......", and the blind man gently pulled her up.

"Thanks to you, I would have fallen. When the day dawned, the water seemed to have receded quite a bit. Xiao Qingqian looked down, she didn't expect to climb such a tall tree last night, and now it's really a problem to go down, she is not afraid of heights, but she is not good at climbing, and she didn't expect that the sudden water last night could flood most of the trees.

"You three wake up quickly!" Xiao Qingqian shook the branch next to him, but he didn't expect the Thunder Tiger to turn over and fall from the tree without noticing, he himself was startled, and he slapped indiscriminately in the water, "Who!" Who is it! Let the horses come! ”

"Hahahahaha......"

"Hahahaha......"

"Hahaha......"

Seeing him like that, the people in the trees couldn't help laughing, but they didn't expect the very fierce-looking Thunder Roaring Tiger to have such an embarrassing and funny side, especially his stunned expression, Xiao Qingqian laughed embarrassedly, but unfortunately the blind man couldn't see it.

It is rare to have this moment of joy on the difficult and abnormal journey, and the hardships of this laugh last night have been forgotten. General Guo and the Evil Devouring Monarch both got down from the tree one after another, not to mention the blind man, who went down easily as soon as he did light work, but Xiao Qingqian moved down a little bit, and those who couldn't climb could only come down slowly like a snail.

The people below didn't have that much patience, "Miss Xiao, you jump down directly, and we'll pick you up!" ”

Thunder Tiger is a lesson from the past, Xiao Qingqian is not so stupid, "Give me a little more time, and I'll come down immediately!" "This trunk is slippery and slippery several times, Xiao Qingqian is about to slip, but she still has to hold on and come down step by step.

Seeing her cowering, Thunder Tiger had to look at her jokes, "Shake her down!" As he spoke, he went to shake the tree, General Guo and the Evil Devourer also shook the tree, and after swaying, Xiao Qingqian was almost unsteady, hugging the tree like a koala, "Hey! You've gone too far! Don't shake it, if you shake it again, I'll fall! Stop them, blind man! ”

The blind man didn't want to get involved in this kind of thing, the three of them were shaking vigorously, but they didn't expect to shake the whole tree alive, and if they pushed the tree again, it would fall, "Ah...... You guys!! Hum! Barbarians! Xiao Qingqian protested loudly in the tree, it was really too much.

"Hahaha...... Then you should hurry down! ”

"Go down, you wait for me, get out of the way for me, this girl I'm going to jump down!" Xiao Qingqian said so, but she just didn't have the courage to jump, but she just wanted them to stay away from the tree, but fortunately, after some tossing, she finally landed safely and could breathe a sigh of relief.

They have been together for such a while, working hard to move forward in hardships and hardships, laughing together in adversity and hardship, and the more familiar they are with each other, the more daring they dare to be presumptuous. The road ahead continued, and after walking for almost an hour, this time I finally walked out of the woods, but the water was strange and completely retreated, in front of me was a vast world, and then there were a few small hills, and further away was a towering tower-shaped mountain, Xiao Qingqian pointed to those big mountains and said: "Just go to that big mountain, go!" "There has been a momentum of five levels and six generals.

The water receded, the sky was clear, and it was another day full of unknowns. After climbing two or three small hills, the appearance of the big mountain in front of him is gradually clearly revealed in front of him, to be precise, it is not a big mountain but a peak, there are some small hills under it, and it is located in a low depression and there is water around it, seeing that the terrain there is so peculiar, Xiao Qingqian has a hunch that there must be something strange there.

But the strange thing is that they kept walking in the direction of the mountain, but they never shrank closer, as if they were walking on the mountain, as if they were in front of them but could not reach the foot of the mountain.

"It's strange, we walk in a straight line, why can't we get to that mountain." Xiao Qingqian, the leader, was also depressed.

"Just go up to the right, then down to the right, then to the top left, are you sure you're going all the way forward?" The blind man asked, though he couldn't see but had a good sense of direction.

"We just kept going forward, not left and right."

"No, coming out of the woods, we turned seven times, and just now, we turned from that side." The blind man was very affirmative, and pointed to the left rear.

Xiao Qingqian looked back at the familiar road, in fact, the surrounding scenery was similar, but it was facing the direction of the mountain, and he suddenly muttered to himself: "Are there few strange things encountered?" ”

"Miss Xiao, are we going there?" General Guo asked.

"Let's go, let's go to the mountain, the blind man will set the direction, I don't believe there is a road we can't walk." After Xiao Qingqian finished speaking, he looked at the astrolabe and confirmed that it was the direction of the mountain, and then picked up the blind man's finger and pointed in that direction and said, "We will keep going in this direction." ”

After making up their minds, they set out on the road again, and on the way they came across a small hill, and when they had crossed the hill less than ten meters, the blind man who walked at the end suddenly said, "You have changed direction." ”

"Is there one? This mountain is right in front of you. Xiao Qingqian was puzzled, Yin Yin came in a straight line, why did he turn around, this really doesn't make sense, "Don't move, wait for me here." Saying that, she deliberately kept the direction of moving forward and then began to walk in a straight line, and when she retreated to the slope, she found that it was no longer the position where they went downhill before, but at another corner of the slope, Xiao Qingqian then walked straight forward from that position, but she couldn't go back to the position where she had just reverted out, and she walked in the opposite direction to the Thunder Roaring Tiger, which was really weird, in just less than twenty paces away, there was such a big gap, and the big mountain was always displayed in front of you in these two positions.

Xiao Qingqian really can't think about it, because this is against common sense, she has to think about it, there must be a mystery hidden here, since seeing is not necessarily believing, it is better to let the blind man lead the way, and only go in one direction towards the mountain.

The four of them were still waiting in place, Xiao Qingqian walked back and said directly: "Follow the blind man, he will lead the way in front." ”

"Can a blind man lead the way?" The Evil Eater asked suspiciously.

"There are some evil sects here, and the mountain is like a thousand-faced mirror, no matter which road it is, it is like in front of you, so in order not to be confused, it is safest to follow the blind man in only one direction." After Xiao Qingqian finished speaking, he turned to the blind man and said, "Just go all the way in the direction you just now, and we'll follow you." ”

The blind man did not hesitate, he couldn't see that he could concentrate on walking without being disturbed by the illusory scenery in the outside world, every step he took was very steady and sure that he was moving forward, but the people behind him were confused, because in Xiao Qingqian's eyes, the blind man did not take the straight road at all, but turned around, one step east, one step west, one step left, one step right, each step was a different direction.

Xiao Qingqian stepped on the blind man's footprints, she took one step when the blind man walked, and the three of them followed in a row behind them, until the eighth step they were still safe, but when they reached the ninth step, the blind man's feet just landed, and at this moment, the blind man suddenly disappeared out of thin air, and disappeared in front of Xiao Qingqian's eyes in an instant.

This was really unexpected, Xiao Qingqian hurriedly shouted: "Blind! Blind! It seems that this ninth step is the key, Xiao Qingqian stepped over without hesitation, but was pulled back by the Thunder Roaring Tiger behind her, "No!" Dangerous! ”

"But the blind man ......," Xiao Qingqian broke free from the thunder roaring tiger's hand, "even if there is danger, I can't let the blind man face it alone." After speaking, Xiao Qingqian turned around and took the ninth step.

"Ah......" This step is like stepping on the air, "bang" Xiao Qingqian fell into the water of the oceanic lake, she swam desperately, the water surface is completely endless, and the tower-shaped mountain stands in the lake, towering, dark and gloomy, a little more sharp, not as dream-like as the previous seeing.

The blind man expected that they would also come in, and as soon as he heard a movement, he immediately swam over, and Xiao Qingqian saw him in a blink of an eye: "Blind! I'm here, are you alright? ”

"I'm fine."

As he spoke, someone fell down, three in succession, like dumplings.

"Why did you come down too?"

"We're together, and we're going to take a shower together." As soon as the thunder tiger finished speaking, the water of the lake suddenly stirred violently, and the waves were surging, and a huge school of shining fish was surging towards them like arrows.
