Chapter 12: The Labyrinth
Ruan Mian packed himself up with the treasures and prepared to bid farewell to the old couple with Yin Lian.
At the end of the conversation, Ruan Mian didn't forget to ask about some useful things.
"Grandma, do you know if there is a lake island in this desert?"
The old woman wrinkled her face and thought for a while before she said, "There is no water in this desert, it is full of sand, and we are the only oasis here." ”
She didn't finish her sentence: "But.... I've heard the old man mention that there used to be a lake island in this desert. ”
"I hadn't seen it when I was born, and we all thought it was just a legend. ”
Ruan Mian was overjoyed and hurriedly asked, "Did you ever say how to find the lake island?"
"That's not true. ”
"That's... Has anything strange or special happened?"
"At that time, the desert always seemed to be inexplicably rolling up sandstorms, destroying the houses in the nearby villages, which was really fatal. ”
Sandstorm?
Ruan Mian told Yin Lin about the news she had gotten, and she thought that there might be something wrong with the sandstorm.
Now the desert is very windy and sandy, but not big enough to roll up people, which shows that the desert has changed over the years.
With the scarce information available now, they could only suspect that there was something wrong with the storm, and that it might be a passage into the island.
They also can't do nothing but try.
In the afternoon, the hard work paid off, and the mirage of the lake island really reappeared.
Yin Silence used a spell to guide the wind and his own huge wind and sand, and easily pinched a storm, and the spiraling storm swirled over the sandbar, becoming stronger and stronger, and the howling of the wind became heavier and heavier.
"Hold me. ”
Yin Xiao stared at her with his eyes and said seriously.
Ruan Mian knew that he was going to enter the storm circle to fight, so he quickly circled his waist and buried his face in his chest, close to his body.
Now is not the time to care about distance or awkwardness, she can't be his drag bottle or a burden.
Yin Lin reached out and clasped her waist and held her tightly in his arms.
When the storm became almost big, he threw up his sleeves and flew headlong into the storm.
This wind is infused with the mana of silence, and it is becoming more and more domineering and powerful.
Ruan Mian dragged the people around him stubbornly, for fear that if he was thrown away, he would not know what the hell he would be sent to.
Yin Silence threw a spell ball that emitted a light blue glimmer and put it on Ruan Mian's body to protect her, and then stopped moving, and sent them somewhere with the storm.
They are like two duckweeds, clinging to each other in a frenzied whirling storm.
Ruan Mian's brain was a little dizzy when she woke up, and when she looked up, she found herself lying on a wide back, the tip of her nose touching the man's neck, and the man only had to turn his head and thin lips to meet her wet eyes.
Ruan Mian was lying on the corner of his right shoulder, while looking stupidly at the man's jawline with sharp angles, and the deep and bright eyes that looked forward.
Thinking back, Ruan Mian straightened up in fright.
Feeling the movements of the person behind her, Yin Silence knew that she was awake.
"When you wake up, you come down. ”
Ruan Mian jumped down flexibly, probably because he felt that his posture was too intimate just now, and his face was a little unnatural.
Big Brother Yin didn't have this kind of charming feeling, and pinched his arm and complained about her weight.
Suddenly Ruan Mian, who didn't feel unnatural at all: ...
It was only when she landed on the ground that she could see where they were, and they were in a dark corridor.
It's not a lake island, could it be that they guessed wrong?
Where is this?
Yin Lin told her that they were right, that they should have fallen to the bottom of the lake.
Although the storm is strong, Yin Lonely is also a demon king, not to mention the talent or diligence, it is estimated that few people can compare.
Yin Silence was naturally not as weak as Ruan Mian, he could see the storm clearly, and he could also sense where the storm swept them.
But the storm was like a formation made of magic, and he couldn't break free, so he could only be swept to the bottom of the lake obediently.
In fact, Yin Silence thought that maybe there was something at the bottom of the lake, otherwise the storm should bring them to the lake island.
Anyway, he has never been afraid of any threats.
Ruan Mian was too weak to withstand the violent spinning, and was still swept away from the curling.
However, she was glad that Yin Lonely didn't drag her to the ground like a drag bag, but she was still pitiful.
I don't know why there is a road at the bottom of this lake, and I don't know why the storm brought them here.
They decided to go with the flow.
The walls of the corridor are viscous and damp black soil, and there is a faint fishy smell in the air.
To be honest, it smells bad, and the whole person looks like he is immersed in a fishy pond full of live fish.
She seriously suspected that they had only been tricked into being sent here.
This place is very evil, and the mana of Yin Silence has been suppressed.
He couldn't teleport, so they had to go deeper on their legs.
The long figure walked in front, and Ruan Mian took a step behind, following one small step after another.
They walked from one wide road to another narrow road, and they walked for almost a day.
Not only did I not see the end, but I didn't even see a plant or a small pool.
This place is a weird barren place!
Sometimes there are several similar crossings for them to choose from when they come to a fork in the road.
"How this place is like a labyrinth, how many roads, how can there be no end. ”
Ruan Mian looked at the identical roads in front of him and complained.
"Perhaps, it's a labyrinth. ”
Yin Silent spoke firmly and forcefully.
"Huh?"
Trapped in the exact same underground labyrinth?
Sure enough, it wasn't that simple, Ruan Mian walked a little deflated.
But since the muddy waters are all wading, you still have to find a way to get out.
Ruan Mian first thought of marking the wall.
Strangely, she did carve several marks into the walls and floors, but the traces they left behind would disappear when they went around and turned back.
Taking out the soul forging knife he carried with him, Ruan Mian asked Yin Silence to cast a spell on it.
The mana was infused into the sharp blade of the silver handle, and Ruan Mian's hand holding the knife felt heavy.
They tried again, but even the icing on the cake was not as useful as they had imagined, and the marks on the wall faded.
Yin Silence tried to destroy the wall with a spell, and the wall was very resilient enough to absorb the spell...
Two helpless: .....
Looks like they're trying to trap them here forever!
They tossed around, they thought of everything they could, they did everything they could, and they were still trapped inside.
Yin Xiao didn't speak, but he could see that he was also very irritable, and even seemed to have the anger of overflowing to kill, his sword eyebrows pressed down, and his eyebrows were locked.
They stopped and didn't move forward, ready to think calmly.
Ruan Mian frowned, sat on the wooden rocking chair taken out of the bag and shook his legs and asked Yin Lian, "Isn't this place a treasure land? Since someone has entered the treasure before, how can a labyrinth be built to trap people here?"
"Yes, we should be patient and wait. ”
"Oh?~~ Could it be that there will be any traps behind?"
Listening to his words, her eyes rolled, and a flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and she understood Yin Shi's words.
In this case, she didn't have to walk around, lying on a chair and closing her eyes to recuperate.
Not to mention, this place where she doesn't know what will happen makes her have a faint expectation of what will happen later.
As for Yin Lonely, don't ask, just don't ask.
Big Yin can float in mid-air and meditate devoutly, and the whole demon sits like a Buddha who has taken refuge.
This skin is handsome, but his temperament is highly respected.
This high-energy operation!
Ruan Mian felt that the creaking wooden chair under him was not fragrant in an instant!
"What do you see me doing?"
"Who is looking at you, are you floating there and no one is allowed to look at you?"
Then she hurriedly stopped, realizing that she had slipped out.
Yin Xiao really didn't know what she was watching him do at first, thinking that she was worried, so she wanted to say a few words to divert her attention, but she didn't expect that she was watching him float up.
He had the intention to tease her: "This spell is called levitation, and it is a very simple spell. ”
Yin Xiao glanced at her meaninglessly as he spoke, with a smile on the corner of his mouth.
"You ..."
Knowing that he couldn't learn spells, he deliberately said that Ruan Mian couldn't help but raise his fake eyelids to roll his eyes or give him a few glances at the knife that burst out of her eyes.
Is!
Jealousy is a disadvantage.
The battle of tongues and lips still ended with the defeat of Ruan Mian's side.
After about a few hours, a thin wisp of white smoke stretched out from the black crossing, which spread extremely fast, and soon annihilated the crossing.
