Chapter 128: The Dragon in the Water
The little girl who received the task immediately became happy, holding Dugu Che with one hand, and reaching out with the other hand to play with the long aquatic plants with the leaves at the bottom of the water, carefully distinguishing each leaf by the light of the nether fire. She didn't know the size of the yin-yang flower, only what it looked like, so it was very difficult to find. Li Wanxiao didn't complain, and was very patient and observed.
Dugu Che held the flame in his hand, feeling the surrounding movement with vigilance, this place was very strange, and he had no way of knowing the hidden danger. Yu Guang always paid attention to Li Wanxiao's movements, and once he noticed that something was wrong, he would go back to shore with the little girl as soon as possible.
Seriously rummaging through each aquatic plant, it didn't take long for Li Wanxiao to suddenly sigh.
"It's so beautiful! Dugu Che, look at it, it's a firefly!"
Looking sideways, there were many bright points of light scattered from the grass that the little girl had opened, scattering in all directions along the direction of the water. It didn't take long for it to spread out above their heads, and it looked like the sky was full of stars, so beautiful that people couldn't bear to stagger their eyes.
"It's so beautiful, when I was a child in our village, I could often see fireflies flying, in groups, and it looked very beautiful at night. Liwan smiled and muttered, "I don't know what these things are, could it be fireflies in the water?"
"No, they're the only creatures here, the Nine Fireflies. Dugu Che's eyes became deeper and deeper, of course he knew the reason why this insect existed here, but it was too bloody to talk to the little girl.
"Nine fireflies, the name is very good!" Li Wanxiao looked at him with bright eyes, Dugu Che really knew a lot, it was really amazing.
"Can I bring this bug back?"
Dugu Che didn't eat her, only shook his head lightly: "This insect is not easy to raise, and you can't live if you leave here." ”
Seeing that Li Wanxiao shrugged his nose and looked a little lost, he raised his hand and touched her head: "Good, business is important, go back and teach you this little spell, you don't have to be afraid of water in the future." ”
"Mmmm, that's what you said, don't go back, pull the hook!" the girl stretched out her little finger very childishly and hooked his finger, "Don't lie to me, it's the puppy who lies!"
"Good. Dugu Che looked at the fingers hooked between the two, and couldn't help but feel a little helpless, this girl is really a little doll that hasn't grown up, very cute.
Li Wanxiao laughed very proudly, this guy always finds excuses and refuses to teach her spells, now it depends on how he regrets it!
At this time, the nine fireflies had dispersed a lot, and only a few were still shining under the dark water. It was rare for Dugu Che to promise her one thing, and the original scared mood suddenly disappeared, and the whole person became energetic, rolled up her sleeves and worked hard, she had to hurry up to learn spells!
No sound can be heard underwater, and the silence makes one feel as if you are in a scene where no outsiders exist. That's why the sound of her playing with the grass is particularly clear in the water.
Without further ado, the little girl was very neat in her work, and under Dugu Che's gaze, she quickly solved a large patch of grass closest to them. Just when she was about to change positions and continue rummaging, she suddenly felt soft under her feet, and she almost fell to the ground, trying to hold on to Dugu Che's clothes to stabilize her body.
"Wanxiao, what's wrong?" As if sensing the abnormality of Wanxiao, Dugu Che, who was still on guard, couldn't help frowning. Why is this girl suddenly uncomfortable, this is under the lake, where is there a place for her to lie down and rest?
"I'm fine, but I'm a little dizzy all of a sudden, and I'll just get some sleep after I go back in a while. Li Wanxiao didn't know what was wrong with her, the strength of her hands and feet seemed to be gradually drained, and she didn't dare to move when she leaned on Dugu Che's arms.
Of course, he didn't believe that she was so tired that she was shaking, knowing that they had just slept before they came out, how could they be so tired so quickly that they needed someone to help them?
Squinting slightly, he sensed something wasn't quite right. Raising his hand to stop Li Wanxiao, who was going to continue to carry the Yin Yang Flower, and half-hugged her into his arms.
"Don't be afraid, I was careless, those insects just now were used to confuse us. Thinking of a group of nine fireflies flying everywhere, Dugu Che's heart tightened, "Don't look for it, I'll take you up."
After that, without waiting for the little girl to nod, Dugu Che hugged her and floated up. The guy in the dark seemed to see their intentions, and immediately understood, the surrounding water began to vibrate violently, so shocked that Li Wanxiao felt that the surrounding water flow was chaotic, and the sense of direction under the water was extremely poor, and now the sky was spinning and he couldn't feel the direction when he came.
Dugu Che's eyes lit up, he didn't want to cause trouble at this time, but now it seems that trouble has come to his door.
Thinking of this, he simply hugged Li Wanxiao and stood steadily, and the two of them were suspended in the water, quietly waiting for each other to appear.
At the same time, not far from them, a huge head shook, and the simple movement caused the surrounding water to be chaotic. It exhaled a long breath, and it seemed to blow a whirlwind at the bottom of the water, and it coincidentally tossed the large grass that Li Wanxiao had just rummaged through to the ground, and countless mud and sand rolled in the water. Slowly propping up the two eyelids, the lantern-sized eyes are extraordinarily bright under the dark water.
"Independence...... Dugu Che, look over there...... Look over there......" Li Wanxiao, who was lying on his shoulder, immediately noticed the two huge lights that had just appeared in the distance, could it be two clusters of nine fireflies that had not drifted away?
Dugu Che was not flustered, he quietly turned around and looked over with his arms around her, and almost at a glance he saw the other party's true body: Jiao.
Hmph, it is a great sin to dare to harm people here before he has ascended to Jackie Chan!
Jiao, the original real body was a python, and after hundreds of years of cultivation and cultivation, he gradually refined himself into the body of a dragon. But the dragon is the dragon, the snake is the snake, and if this kind of thing can find a big opportunity, it will have a chance to soar, otherwise it will always be trapped here to be a snake and a dragon.
Jiao opened his two big eyes, and almost immediately saw the two people snuggling together, the orange-yellow pupils were slightly condensed, and the conditioned mouth opened and spit out a long tongue.
Dugu Che was too lazy to toss with this kind of four people who couldn't get on the table, so he raised his hand directly and pinched the trick!
Li Wanxiao only felt that the little guy curled up in the cuffs suddenly moved uncomfortably, and then slipped out. I wanted to reach out and fish it back, but I didn't want it to run fast in the water and swoop away.
"Yuze!"
Dugu Che hurriedly grabbed her, at this time, the water flow was chaotic, and she couldn't let this girl be swept away by the turbulence.
"It's going to deal with that thing, it's going to be fine, it'll be back in a moment. ”
The calm tone seemed to be saying a trivial thing, which made Li Wanxiao's nervous mood miraculously relax a lot.
"That thing is a dragon hiding here to cultivate, and it has not yet succeeded in ascending, and it is more than enough for Yu Ze to deal with it. Dugu Che led her to continue to float up as he spoke, the speed at which they floated up was not as fast as when they came down, after all, they were in the water, if the speed of the float was too fast, he was worried that Li Wanxiao would not be able to bear it.
Sure enough, Yu Ze's speed was very fast, almost just ran out of Li Wanxiao's cuffs, and his small body immediately grew up like a sponge that had absorbed water, and in a blink of an eye, it became the same size as when Li Wanxiao rode it in the sky before.
In the end, Yu Ze is a descendant of a pure-blooded demon dragon, and the majesty of the dragon clan with him cannot be violated in the slightest. This alone is beyond the reach of Jiaolong.
After all, the advantages brought by the bloodline cannot be compensated for by penance.
As soon as the demon dragon came out, Li Wanxiao faintly felt that the speed of the surrounding water suddenly accelerated, and the cold and bone-chilling demonic qi was overwhelming, especially in the water, this change was even more obvious. As if sensing the coldness of her body, the red ring between her fingers emitted a soft red light. Shrouded the two of them, acting as a barrier to keep out all possible dangers that might fly by.
After Yuze rushed out, there was a silence in the water, like the calm before the storm. Before they could surface, a huge current of water suddenly rolled in from afar!
Dugu Che protected her in front of him, and used his back to resist the sudden flow of water.
"They fought. The corners of his indifferent mouth pursed into a straight line, and Dugu Che said simply.
"Youze and that thing?" Li Wanxiao tugged at Dugu Che's coat, trying to keep himself from losing consciousness in the cold. Fortunately, Dugu Che was very powerful, and at the critical moment, he even thought of using chat to help her relieve her fear.
The farther up the surface of the water, the more obvious the light refracted became, and through the light and shadow in the water, two intertwined shadows could be seen from a distance away from Wanxiao. To her great surprise, Yu Ze's black body was entangled with a dark red thing, as if it was competing for strength, Yu Ze wrapped it tightly, and the red snake writhed in pain as if it was crazy.
Dugu Che naturally knew that under Youze's hands, that thing could not survive, he knew too well Youze's temper, the willful and arrogant character seemed to be the temperament engraved in the bones of the dragon clan, Youze was no exception, it would inevitably be unhappy when it saw a snake that wanted to cultivate into a divine dragon, and now that he had received his order, that red snake would definitely not escape this catastrophe.
What he paid attention to was the reason why the red dragon was staying here, could it really be just a coincidence of staying here to cultivate? It was unlikely, if it was like this, it was impossible for Mu Qianluo not to know, and he would definitely tell them before he came out. Since Mu Qianluo knew about this, but did not say it, but gave a clue like "water", then there is only one reason that is the most obvious, that is to say, this dragon has another task, that is, to stay here and protect something important.
What else could be important?
Of course, yin and yang flowers.
