Chapter 127: Into the Depths
The lake in front of him was far bigger than the small pond just now, and it was much bigger, and after a brief look around Wanxiao, she found that the weeds growing here were much more lush than the places she had walked before, and even the grass in some places had grown to half a man's height. The water surface of the lake is so foggy that it is difficult to see the movement around you, and it is difficult to feel the strange smell even if there is a faint breeze passing by.
"This lake has existed for at least a few hundred years, and the scope is not small, and I am afraid that it will not have such a good effect with the spell just now. Yin Xiaoran thought about it seriously, and his slender finger tapped across the lake, "It's better to do this, let's go our separate ways and find half of each." You stay here, I'll go there, and I'll meet here after searching. ”
"Of course, if you find something, you can inform each other, there is a lot of power, just a small flower, you can always find it. ”
Seeing Yin Xiaoran's confident face, he was a little more confident from Wanxiao, leaving his initial worries behind, how would he know if he could succeed if he didn't try hard?
"Well, Brother Yin, you have to be careful, it looks a little strange here, if you encounter danger, you should run quickly, don't get injured in order to find flowers, your safety is the most important thing." ”
Han Qingbo's matter made Li Wanxiao always linger, looking for the Yin and Yang Flower was her own business, these friends came to help out of kindness, even Dugu Che was involved because of her. No matter what the final result is, she doesn't want anyone to get hurt again, even if she really can't find the Yin Yang Flower and returns in vain, she doesn't want to lose any of her friends.
Dugu Che looked sideways at the girl's worried look, and there was an indistinct emotion flowing in her eyes. Sometimes it's not necessarily a good thing for people to be too kind, Han Qingbo has bad intentions, and she is the only one who can't see through, which is really dangerous for herself. If it weren't for the trustworthy people like them, this stupid girl would have worked so hard to come here, and maybe she would have made a wedding dress for others without knowing it.
"I know, don't worry, as long as there is water, nothing can trap me, who called me a water demon?" Yin Xiaoran laughed, waved his hand and walked along the shore towards the opposite side of the lake, the back looked very leisurely.
Li Wanxiao touched his nose weakly, this guy still remembers this! People just gave him a nickname in private, didn't he apologize later? Why did he still take it out?
"Water demon?" Dugu Che chuckled, he knew about it, but he didn't pay much attention to it like Li Wanxiao, after all, Yin Xiaoran seemed to him to be a big child who loved to pretend to be deep, and it was not uncommon for him to be nicknamed.
"You're still laughing!" the little girl reached out and twisted his arm unceremoniously, and said aggrievedly, "Brother Yin seems to really care about the nickname I gave him, what should I do?
Dugu Che smiled and held her little hand, gently pinched the flesh on the back of her hand, and said patiently: "No, he is not so careful." And he knows that you don't know much about him, and it's normal to have such a misunderstanding, just teasing you is just teasing, he won't mind, don't worry. ”
"Oh. "The little girl is still sullen, Yin Xiaoran is really doing her best in finding the Yin Yang Flower, and she also gives people nicknames, which is really upset.
Seeing that she was a little depressed, Dugu Che raised his hand and touched her little head, and said dotingly: "Don't think about it, concentrate on your work, hurry up and find the yin and yang flowers, so that I can accompany you home to see the master." ”
"Hmm. The little girl nodded honestly, and suddenly felt that something was wrong, so she raised her head to look at him, "Why do you call Master? That's my Master, not yours, how can you scream?"
After speaking, he added a sentence in his heart: It's hard to say whether the master is willing to accept you as an apprentice!
Dugu Che couldn't cry or laugh, this girl's head sometimes really seemed to be missing something, and her not very smart appearance was really helpless.
"I'll talk about this after I get back to business. Look over there, Yin Xiaoran has already started. Pointing to the foggy opposite shore, there was a faint sound of rushing water on the water, obviously stirred up.
Li Wanxiao immediately came back to her senses, tugged at his sleeve and shook it, and said curiously: "Do you also play in the water?"
"Hmm...... It's hard to say. Dugu Che rarely showed an unfathomable look, looked at her and said, "Do you want to go underwater to see? Maybe there will be fish in it, catch two and make fish soup." ”
He didn't forget that the little girl had been talking about drinking fish soup countless times, and bragged that she made the best food, there was only one in heaven and earth, and no cook could compare to her craftsmanship!
"But, I don't know how to water!" Li Wanxiao pointed to herself stunned, "I have also gone down to the river to touch fish when I was a child, and it is still the kind of creek where the water is very shallow, and it is really not good to swim in the water!"
"You don't need to swim in the water, I'll just ask if you want to go underwater to play?" Dugu Che is not unable to control the spells of the Water Demon Lord, but he doesn't want to turn the lake upside down with great fanfare like Yin Xiaoran, and it just happens that Wanxiao is in a bad mood because of Han Qingbo's affairs, so he thinks about simply taking this girl to play underwater. It's best to find the yin and yang flowers, and if you can't find it, you have the right to relax.
Li Wanxiao hesitated for a moment, but couldn't help but spit out one word: "Think".
"Let's go. ”
Dugu Che stretched out his big hand and shook it with her soft little hand, palm to palm, and the soft warmth slowly flowed into Liwanxiao's heart. secretly raised his face to look at the man next to him, the more he looked at it, the more he felt that he was handsome, and Dugu Che was obviously a big man, but his mind was more delicate than that of a girl like her.
A man can be so warm and caring, there must have been people who treated him like this, right?
The two walked hand in hand to the water's edge, biting her lip nervously, holding one hand in his palm, and the other hand clutching his sleeve.
Sensing that her palms were sweating with fear, and she was trembling slightly, Dugu Che shook her hand hard, and her soft voice soothed her nervousness, "Don't be afraid, believe me."
“...... Well. Li Wanxiao nodded reluctantly, glanced at the water, but couldn't help but close her eyes, lowered her head and shrunk into his arms, "I'm scared ......"
Holding her petite body, Dugu Che's eyes were full of pampering, his fingertips moved slightly, pinched out a trick, and then walked towards the water with her with a calm demeanor.
If this scene is seen by outsiders, I am afraid that it will be misunderstood that it is two young couples who committed suicide by embracing each other, but this is not the case.
Li Wanxiao closed her eyes and clutched the clothes on his chest tightly, for fear that she would be washed away by the water after going down. But unexpectedly, the imaginary suffocation did not appear, she just felt a slight coolness all over her body, and she shrank a little uncomfortably for a while.
"Open your eyes and here we are. ”
Hey, how can you still talk in the water?
The little girl paused, raised her head slightly, and just opened her eyes before she had time to look at Dugu Che, her eyes were suddenly attracted by the surrounding environment.
She found herself standing firmly in the water, without even a hint of floating, and was surrounded by water. If you look up, you can see a faint light shining through the water, and the clear and transparent water of the lake flows slowly in the light and shadow, reflecting a beautiful underwater scene. Under the hazy light and shadow, some aquatic plants danced faintly along the direction of the water, and there was silence all around, as if only the two of them were left alone and snuggled together.
"Is it cold?" Dugu Che felt that her palms were cold, and she couldn't help but be a little worried.
"Uh...... It's a little, but it's fine, it'll be fine in a while, it's not too cold. Li Wanxiao touched her clothes, they were not wet at all, they were the same as on the ground.
"Put it on, the more you go underwater, the colder it gets, beware of catching a cold. Taking off his coat to help her put it on, Dugu Che took the time to explain, "We have just sunk to the middle now, this lake is very deep, and there is no light after going down to the bottom, and then I will use the Netherfire to help you illuminate, and the job of finding the yin and yang flower will be left to you." ”
With a light smile, she assigned tasks to the little girl, if she didn't arrange some work, it would be dark under the water, and she would be scared to cry.
"Well, good. Li Wanxiao exhaled a sullen breath, she knew that it was Dugu Che who cast a spell, and her heart was much calmer. Don't be ashamed, after all, this is your own business, how can you do it!
Sure enough, as Dugu Che said. As they gradually sank, the temperature around them slowly dropped, getting colder and darker, and Li Wanxiao wrapped his coat tightly around his body to barely resist the cold.
Looking around curiously, Li Wanxiao suddenly felt that something was wrong, they sank all the way and didn't see the shadow of half a fish except for the aquatic weeds!
"It seems that the fish soup can't be made, there is no fish here. The little girl smiled bitterly.
Dugu Che naturally noticed it, and couldn't help frowning slightly, this situation is very unreasonable, the lake is flowing, which means that it is connected to the rivers outside, since it is not stagnant water, it is impossible to live without something.
Although the aura at the junction of humans and demons is chaotic, the existence of desert poisonous rats shows that there are still living beings who can adapt to the environment here. And there is only one possibility left in this water, and that is that there is something dangerous here, so dangerous that all the living things around it dare not approach it.
Thinking of this, Dugu Che took her hand and tightened it, and said in a deep voice: "There is a hidden crisis here, don't leave me for half a step, do you know?"
The little girl nodded obediently: "I know." ”
After speaking, Dugu Che held her with his left hand, raised his right hand slightly, and a bright flame burned in the palm of his hand, emitting a warm light, illuminating the circle around them very clearly.
Li Wanxiao curiously stretched out a finger, wanting to touch the fire, but Dugu Che dodged it in time, "Be careful of the burn."
As soon as he reminded her, the little girl quickly withdrew her hand and smiled obediently: "You hold it, leave the matter of finding flowers to me, and promise to leave no dead ends!"
