Chapter Forty-Eight: The Strange Lake
"It's all your fault, otherwise we would have left a long time ago, how could we have wasted time here and encountered these pestering things. ”
One of them complained to the two who had just quarreled over the carcass of a monitor lizard.
Everyone else looked at them with a look of responsibility.
"And a few of you foundation building monks are really useless, not even a woman, and the danger has not yet been discovered. ”
"You ......"
Mu Xiaoxian looked at this person scolding and scolding, and thought to himself: I'm afraid it's not a troll!
"Okay, this is the end of the matter, it's useless to complain to each other now, it's better for everyone to save effort and solve these pit vipers together. ”
Yan Xuan rubbed his forehead and said helplessly to everyone.
The most terrifying time in the desert of no return has arrived, not only is the night particularly cold, but it is also the time when many demon beasts come out to hunt.
"How long is this going to be?"
The desert pit viper was killed by them in wave after wave, and someone complained impatiently.
"Third Highness, or let's withdraw first! Originally, a lot of physical strength had been consumed when fighting with the monitor lizard before, and it is estimated that everyone's physical strength is almost exhausted now. ”
Mu Xiaoxian himself was indeed a little physically exhausted, so he suggested to Yan Xuan.
"Well, we really can't waste our time here, let's find a way to get out of here!"
Everyone had long been exhausted by these entangled desert pit vipers, and after listening to the words of the third prince, they immediately accelerated their attacks while retreating at any time.
Long
No matter how everyone got rid of the demon beast that was entanglement behind them, the desert pit viper behind them still chased after them.
Finally they came to a stop at the edge of a huge rock, the bottom of which was mostly hidden by the sand of the desert, but to their surprise, as soon as they arrived, the pit vipers were only a few meters away from the rock, and did not dare to come near it again, but what made them even more strange was that there was a lake next to the huge rock.
"Come and see, the water in this lake is really refreshing and sweet!"
A monk in the middle stage of foundation building, probably because he was thirsty, squatted by the lake, drank the lake water with both hands, and then said excitedly to everyone.
"Really?"
"I'll try it too!"
When everyone heard this, they also said excitedly
After all, after being in the desert for so long, although they are monks, they also need water to quench their thirst.
"Wait, everyone!"
Mu Xiaoxian wanted to stop everyone from drinking the lake water here so rashly, but everyone didn't listen to her at all.
"Is there anything wrong with the water? I think it's pure. ”
Yan Xuan asked Mu Xiaoxian with some confusion.
"Third Highness, don't you think it's very strange? You see that those pit vipers don't dare to come in as soon as they chase them, and they only guard the periphery, which means that there may be something wrong with the water in this lake!"
"Is it possible that these desert pit vipers are afraid of water, so they don't dare to come?"
"Pit vipers are yin, and they can't miss their prey because they are afraid of water. ”
Mu Xiaoxian walked away and frowned.
"This ...... There seems to be something really wrong with this lake!"
"I found it too!"
Everyone said in amazement.
"What did you find?"
Yan Xuan's eyes jumped when he heard everyone's words, for fear that there would be some danger, so he hurriedly asked.
"Third Highness, I just saw that this lake is some distance away from us in front, but now it is less than a meter away from us, can this lake move?"
The man stepped back with some fear.
Everyone felt weird when they heard it, and they slowly retreated back,
"Everyone, run, this is not a lake at all, we are now in the mouth of the demon beast!"
Mu Xiaoxian noticed that there was movement underground, so he turned his head and saw that it was a huge mouth, and the water was not a lake, but the saliva of a demon beast, so they were now in this big mouth.
"What?"
"I don't want to be eaten!!"
"Help!!"
Everyone turned around and looked at Mu Xiaoxian's words, they were all startled, and they all hurriedly ran out, but they were still a step too late, and a long red sticky strip was thrown towards them, and then everyone really reacted now and shouted screaming.
Mu Xiaoxian only felt dizzy.
After some time, she woke up and looked around, and saw that it was all rolling like mountains, but they were all red, and there was some sand on top of them.
Then when she was about to get up, she felt that the ground was not as hard as she thought, but very soft, so she touched it with her hand, but it was stained with some mucus, which made her feel a little nauseous, so she rubbed her hand on her body.
Walked forward for a while
Mu Xiaoxian found that she was the only one here, but the other companions didn't know where they fell into the body of the demon beast, so she could only walk around to see if she could find anything.
"Eh!"
Mu Xiaoxian walked and suddenly almost tripped, and when she saw it, it turned out to be a white bone buried in the sand, so she curiously opened it and saw that it was actually a human bone, which made her retreat in horror.
She thought to herself: she had to find a way to get out of here quickly, otherwise she would really die here like this person, and only a white skeleton remained.
Suddenly, Mu Xiaoxian found that there was a white house in front of him, so he rubbed his eyes, and then saw that it was still there, so he rushed forward excitedly to see if there was anyone, if there was no one, it didn't matter, as long as there were clues that could provide an exit.
Long
When Mu Xiaoxian walked into the white room, he was particularly shocked, because the house was completely made of many human bones.
She exhaled, her heart relieved, and she was about to step forward, but she heard a strange sound of the door opening.
"Come in!"
An old man with white hair, obviously spotting her, pushed open the door made of white bones from the inside, looked at Mu Xiaoxian, and then said expressionlessly.
But Mu Xiaoxian didn't react when he saw him, and stood in place dumbfounded.
"What are you doing there?"
The old man saw that she was motionless, his long white eyebrows furrowed a little, and he said impatiently.
"Oh, good senior!"
Mu Xiaoxian was immediately reacted to, and hurriedly stepped forward to reply.
Entering the house with the old man, Mu Xiaoxian looked around a lot, and there were all that should be in an ordinary house, but none of the homes were made of white bones.
"May I ask you, senior, what kind of monster is this, and how did you fall into this monster's body?"
Mu Xiaoxian didn't speak after seeing the old man come in, just sat there and drank tea slowly, so he asked a little anxiously.
"Little friend, don't worry, you sit down and have a sip of tea first, and I will answer it for you slowly, old man. ”
After the old man took a sip of tea and put down the cup, he picked up another cup, filled it with tea, put it on the opposite side, and then replied to Mu Xiaoxian slowly.
Listening to the old man's words, she had no choice but to follow him, sat opposite him, picked up the tea in front of her and took a sip, after drinking it, she felt that the mouth was sweet and long-lasting, fragrant and mellow, and the taste was strong.
Suddenly, her heart slowly calmed down, the other party didn't speak, and she no longer asked the old man any questions, just quietly sipping tea, as if drinking afternoon tea leisurely at home.
"Well, my tea is good! This is what I brought from the palace. ”
The old man suddenly showed his black and yellow teeth and said with a smug smile at Mu Xiaoxian.
