The rhythmic sound of dripping water resounded in the darkness.

Lu Jing stood in place, looking at the ripples under his feet that continued to spread due to the shaking of his body, and suddenly realized that he seemed to be standing on the surface of a lake.

Suddenly, I looked up again, the darkness gradually receded, the sky above me was a little brighter, and those hazy shadows gradually turned into towering trees, and a pool of clear lake water really appeared under my feet.

This is obviously not the Songyue Dojo.

In fact, halfway through the puja, Lu Jing, who was originally just closing his eyes and recuperating, noticed that his spirit was once again in the same trance as he had been on Qingle Island before.

With his previous experience on Qingle Island, Lu Jing immediately wanted to separate himself from this strange state at first, but he soon found that this time the other party's methods were quite gentle, not only did he not force his spirit to leave his body, but he was still trying to ask for his consent.

Lu Jing was surprised and did not resist this call, and took the initiative to relax his spirit and come here.

"Destined person, I've finally waited for you......"

Powerful voices come from all over the space, and the timbre tends to be neutral, making it impossible to distinguish between men and women.

"Heh, what age is this, this kind of statement is not popular, you say that I am the chosen one, maybe I will think about it, let's just say it, what are you looking for me to do?"

He had already seen a more majestic palace on Qingle Island, and Lu Jing was undoubtedly fully mentally prepared for this illusory environment, not only did he not panic, but he behaved quite calmly.

In the face of his reply, the existence on the other side fell into a short silence, as if he was shocked by Lu Jing's attitude.

"Alas...... You didn't come to me to think about the rhetoric in advance, forget it, I'll start up. ”

Lu Jing sat down cross-legged and asked in a loud voice,

"What is your relationship with the Songyue Dojo, and why are you able to influence my spiritual will while they are performing pujas?"

From the time I landed on the island to now, more than two hours have passed, and I didn't show up sooner rather than later, until the beginning of the Death Festival, this guy suddenly appeared, and in Lu Jing's opinion, there must be something related to the Songyue Dojo.

"I am where their faith lies!"

Finally found the topic, and the other party spoke again.

"Hey, don't lie to me if I don't read much, what I saw in the main hall just now is the statue of the Demon Ancestor, if you really want to be that big man, you can have this idle time to talk nonsense with me here...... Be honest, or don't talk, I have to tell you first, I can leave whenever I want to go back. ”

Lu Jing raised his hand and pointed behind him, and Liuli, who had once again turned into a behemoth in the illusion, walked behind him.

Now it is no longer the passive situation of Qingle Island, Lu Jing is very calm.

He could clearly feel the message from Ruri, and as long as he wanted to leave, the latter could completely defeat the illusion and take him out.

"I am the guardian of Hidden River Island, and now that demons are rampant, I need your help to reclaim the artifact that belongs to me. ”

"Tsk, why does your statement sound so familiar, I almost paid you...... Anyway, can you talk well, a demon for a while, a fetish, you don't think I'll believe this kind of nonsense, right?"

In other words, Lu Jing may still be interested in playing with the other party, but recently he has a headache because of making a space storage box, how can he still have the heart to distinguish whether the other party has something to say, so he simply put the words on the bright side.

"If you really want me to help, then come out and see me directly, if you have something to say, continue to pretend to be a ghost like this, then don't talk about it!"

Lu Jing's voice fell, but he saw a wave of water rising in front of him.

"Mortal, you should be honored. ”

The scattered water streamed across the golden-red scales, accompanied by a thick voice, and on the surface of the lake in front of Lu Jing, a huge golden-red creature appeared.

That's right, one.

"It's not that I said, with your appearance, no matter how big you are, you can't scare me, not only that, but in the place where I used to live, you would be boiled into fish head soup. ”

Lu Jing raised his head and looked at the golden-red giant koi in front of him, which only had half of its body floating, and was stunned for a while before he came back to his senses and said,

"But it's the first time I've seen koi fish that can communicate with humans, and I didn't expect there to be monsters in this world. ”

Although his face was full of surprise, Lu Jing's gaze at the giant koi in front of him was full of judgment.

Everyone acknowledges that there are powerful non-human creatures in this era, but there are youkai who can understand people's hearts and speak human words...... Lu Jing really hadn't heard of it.

Especially this kind of monster whose body is only a dozen copper plates can buy one.,Although the merman also has some fish attributes.,But people are also serious humanoid life.。

Moreover, the experience on Qingle Island made Lu Jing understand an irrefutable reality, that is, this kind of spiritual world must not be easily believed!

Of course, Lu Jing didn't plan to discuss the question of whether it was a monster with the guy in front of him now, there were more strange creatures in the boundless sea, and it was not uncommon for two strange creatures to appear occasionally.

However, this guy's statement that he called himself the guardian of Qianhe Island made Lu Jing a little curious.

"Look at your appearance, what kind of guardian is you, it must be an extremely powerful existence, why do you still need my help?"

One person and one fish stared at each other for a while, and Lu Jing asked first.

"I can't leave Hidden River Island for the time being, and that demon is stronger than me because of the artifact, I need someone to help me defeat it and reclaim the artifact. ”

The giant koi fish still used its own title, and then said,

"As for the reward, I can sense some kind of special energy from you, it should come from the curse spell, and you are bothered by the resentment that has accumulated in you, right?"

"Do you know the captain of the Nightmare Pirates?"

Lu Jing, who was sitting cross-legged on the ground a second ago, suddenly got up and stared at the giant koi in front of him with half-squinted eyes.

"What are the Nightmare Pirates...... The man I know is an old Taoist priest in the Tongtian Dojo, he is proficient in all kinds of spells, including curses, and that guy was the most admired existence in Mingde Mansion back then, but unfortunately he became terminally ill...... In short, I will not only help you with your grievances, but I will also give you a treasure to protect against such curses, provided that you can retrieve the artifact for me. ”

"What's that artifact?"

Lu Jing stroked the glazed forehead lying on his side, thought about it and asked.

As I said before, sooner or later there will be a battle between Lu Jing and his party and the Nightmare Pirates, and it would be false to say that he was not interested in this deal.

"A statue of a god that looks like this......"

The giant koi fish slapped the water at its side, condensing an angry statue of King Kong.

Woo~

Liuli snorted and complained that Lu Jing suddenly stopped the movement of his palm.

"And where is the demon you said took this idol?"

An inexplicable light flashed in his eyes, Lu Jing turned his head, scratched Liuli's chin, and then asked.

"I have already contacted the government of Qianhe Island through the way of dreams, the Demon Hunting Conference, you should have also heard that it is impossible for those ordinary people to defeat demons, and it is necessary for people like you to participate to win, and their goal is only to kill demons and do not know the existence of the idol, so I need you to get involved and help me retrieve the idol. ”

"Need the help of the Transcendent...... That's a good reason, but the problem is that there should be transcendents in the Nights Division of Qianhe Island, and since you value this idol so much, why don't you just inform them to help, but wait for me, the 'destined person', and even make a deal for it." ”

In Lu Jing's opinion, the explanation in the words of the giant koi is really far-fetched and a bit excessive.

The simplest truth, the demon hunting conference will start tomorrow at the latest, how can this koi fish predict the arrival of Lu Jing and his party and be willing to take on this task,

"I suggest you'd better tell the truth, otherwise don't blame me for not telling you in advance if there is an accident. ”

"Because I can't guarantee that they will give me the idol, you should understand that the greed of human beings never ends, and if I tell them about the existence of the idol, with the way those people do, it will inevitably be hidden, and unlike you, the resentment accumulated in you has become a great threat, if you can't get rid of it, you will die a miserable death if you encounter someone who can mobilize them in the future, and with the knowledge of magic that I have learned from the mage, I can tell you clearly that it is impossible for you to solve these resentments by ordinary means！”

The meaning of the giant koi is simple.

Compared with the government of Qianhe Island, Lu Jing, the person who asks for it, is undoubtedly more trustworthy.
