Chapter 52: Looking at Moon Lake from afar
[Thank you for your generous reward, I sincerely ask for your collection and recommendation support, thank you!]
The night is already very deep, but the rain in the sky does not know when the road has quietly stopped, the world in the forest is never lonely, occasionally in front of outsiders, they will hide all this deeply.
Countless small animals and insects have taken advantage of the rain to come out to move, either for survival, or for some other purpose, anyway, life is always unwilling to be lonely and active, until the moment when everything returns to nothingness.
Lin Shu silently opened his eyes, woke up from the cultivation of the Yuan Shen, and at the same time slowed down the rotation speed of the mist cyclone in the dantian, the recent period of high-intensity battles has increased the growth speed of the true qi a lot, although this helps to squeeze the potential, but everything has two sides, excessive squeezing of the true qi will make the fatigue of the body come earlier, and Lin Shu found that his food consumption was increasing, which is not a good thing in the current environment, the current food intake is still relatively difficult, and the type of food tends to be singleγ
In human social activities, everyone knows the dangers of inefficient and high-consumption development. However, in terms of cultivation, few people pay attention to this problem, and it is not as difficult as imagined to absorb energy from the outside world, and a person's extensive demand for energy is not the same thing at all compared to the vast energy system of nature.
However, the long-term extensive consumption and energy collection will unconsciously reduce the requirements for energy control, and further form extensive cultivation and energy use methods and habits.
Lin Shu had already suffered this hardship in the previous life, and it was difficult to go to the next level in extensive cultivation, so in the initial stage of cultivation, it should be refined and lay a solid foundation for every one, therefore, Lin Shu was not in a hurry to pursue the speed of cultivation, even in the current dangerous environment, Lin Shu would never destroy his foundation until the last moment.
After carefully feeling his physical condition, Lin Shu grinned with satisfaction, then raised his eyelids and glanced at Niu Xiaoyong, who was curled up in a ball and sleeping, smiled slightly, and looked up, although his vision was blocked by trees, Lin Shu seemed to be able to see two or three meters above this tree hole, and the two girls were sleeping together.
Lin Shu moved, carefully avoided Niu Xiaoyong's hands and feet, and crawled out of the cave, at this time, Wen Yue was also awakened by the magic vigilance, clenched his short black magic wand in his hand, opened his eyes vigilantly, looked at the dark shadows of the trees outside through the lenses of his glasses, and pricked up his ears to listen to the movement below.
Lin Shu slowly slid down the tree, Xiao Qiang, who heard the call of the forest tree, had swam silently to the foot of the forest tree, and swam to a big tree opposite the Wenyue tree hole, under Wen Yue's gaze, the forest tree quickly climbed up the treetop, standing on the highest horizontal branch of the treetop, holding the trunk with one hand, while looking in the direction of the Moon Lake.
Wen Yue breathed a sigh of relief and put the wand beside her, squinting her eyes at the forest trees more than ten meters away, the light in the forest came from all kinds of luminous bodies, some were glowing fluorescent plants, some were insects, and there were glowing fish, so the night of the forest was not out of sight, on the contrary, when looking at the sky, because of the relationship between the clouds in the sky, the sky above was dark and heavy like an abyss, which would give people a feeling that the heaven and the earth were reversed.
Standing in the treetops of the forest trees this feeling is even stronger, on the surface of the lake in the distance in the moon lake, countless luminous objects in the lake are swimming, dotted like a bright and endless starry sky, but the sky is pitch black, like a gloomy earth, this strong illusion makes the forest tree feel that he is upside down, and even feel a little dizzy and want to vomit.
Lin Shu sighed softly, the magnificence and mystery of nature always make people have a kind of heartfelt awe, as well as the curiosity and yearning arising from it, this is the driving force for human beings to keep moving forward!
Wen Yue looked at it for a while, floated silently, and flew to a place not far from Lin Shu, just hovering in the air, Lin Shu glanced at it enviously, the magic is really amazing!
"The scenery is current! I just can't sleep, just come and see!"
Lin Shu explained in a low voice, Wen Yue vigilantly confirmed the location and movement of Xiaoqiang, the eldest girl, and the second girl, and then nodded: "It's beautiful!
"Hehe, I feel a little dizzy too!"
"Hee-hee!"
The two of them chatted like good friends, but in reality, both of them may be trying to kill each other in their hearts.
"Lin Shu, you are very mysterious, is it because of this, so you can't let me live and pose a threat to you?"
"Everyone has secrets that they don't want others to know, and don't you too!"
"Yes, I think maybe we can keep each other's secrets!"
"Is it possible? If betraying your secret kills you, I'll do it right away!"
"The question is, instead of killing me, it will reveal your secrets?"
"The problem is that the two children next to me will reveal my location at any time, and you can easily disappear without a trace, if I guess correctly, your current identity must be fake, and even your appearance is fake!"
Wen Yue was silent for a moment, and said astringently: "That's just your guess, I think we can swear to each other!"
"Oath? Do you mean a mage's oath? I'm not a mage! and I'm not sure if you're a mage!"
"How could I not be a magician!?"
"Hehe, there are different planes in this world, whether you are a magician or not can't just rely on whether you can use magic to decide, or you will let me check you from the inside out?"
"You! bastard!"
"Hehe, you won't agree anyway, I'm just talking, what's the bastard? In fact, you don't necessarily don't have the idea of killing the three of us, it's just that you can't do it, so your biggest problem is how to get away from me safely, and my problem is how to hunt you down without hurting the two children. β
Lin Shu did not shy away from explaining the situation that the two sides were going to face clearly, Wen Yue frowned, and couldn't help but sigh in his heart, he knew that it would be good if Lu Dao really didn't meet Lin Shu at that time, but if he didn't meet, or he had already died in the hands of the demonic beast, now this result really doesn't know whether Lu Dao should be happy or regretful.
"Let my little sister come with me!"
"Impossible, how do I know if you will kill Xiaomei first, and then betray me and Xiaoyong?"
"I like my little sister and won't hurt her!"
"Who wouldn't speak beautifully?"
Wen Yue was silent again, the problem now is that there is no foundation of trust between the two people at all, and in such a state of complete lack of mutual trust, it is difficult to form a compromise at all.
After a long time, Wen Yue looked sideways at Lin Shu and said, "Have you heard of the Soul Oath?"
Lin Shu frowned and thought for a while, looking at Wen Yue's starry eyes and shaking his head: "No!"
Wen Yue bit her lip and said: "This oath comes from an ancient plane, it is said to be the most fundamental soul magic, maybe witchcraft, but its effectiveness is unquestionable, the two sides of the oath use blood as the introduction and the magic circle as the catalyst, so that the two sides of the oath form a fairly strong soul dependence relationship, once one party takes the initiative to violate the oath, it will be counterattacked by magic." β
Lin Shu raised his eyebrows, this witchcraft is very interesting, the reason why Lin Shu thinks it is witchcraft is because if this spell acts directly on the soul, it can't be magic at all, it can only be witchcraft or Taoism, and from Wen Yue's statement, this is an ancient witchcraft from other planes, since it is declared to be witchcraft, it can only be witchcraft, unless somewhere in this world, there is also a cultivation system similar to that of cultivators.
Lin Shu is not worried that this witchcraft is invalid, if it is ineffective, Wen Yue will not take out this thing to save his life, and whether it has any effect as long as he takes the initiative to try to hurt Wen Yue can be confirmed, so the smart Wen Yue will not use this to deceive Lin Shu, Lin Shu is worried that this witchcraft has another purpose, maybe, he is sold and he doesn't know what to do.
"No side effects?"
"Yes, the two sides of the vow will unconsciously attract each other, and then if one party dies unexpectedly, the other party will be seriously injured, and it will basically be nullified. β
"Scrapped?"
"Yes! Lost the ability to perceive magical energy. β
Lin Shu's curiosity became even greater, although every technique involving the soul was very magical, but just eliminating the induction of magic energy, this seemed to be a bit too magical!
Lin Shu couldn't help but be a little distracted, perhaps, in this boundless space and time, there are more explorers of the ultimate secret, just as the method of cultivation is the wealth left by these explorers, perhaps, this witchcraft is also the precious wealth left by those explorers who have been a long time ago!?
Wen Yue saw that Lin Shu didn't answer for a long time, and she also regretted it a little in her heart, she didn't mention this matter if she knew that Lu Dao wouldn't mention it, this soul oath was put to the letter, it was actually a kind of curse technique used on lovers, Wen Yue already felt a little uncomfortable as soon as she brought it up, and became a lover with Lin Shu?
Wen Yue tried her best to comfort herself with life-saving, and waited patiently for a while, but she didn't see Lin Shu say anything, and finally broke out!
"You're really a mother-in-law, don't you just say a word!"
"Well, I'll think about it, it's hard to guarantee that you deliberately hid something inside, in case I was cheated by you, I didn't lose to death, I'm tired, I'll go back to sleep!"
Wen Yue watched Lin Shu quickly disappear into the dense leaves, and felt a kind of depression that she didn't know what to say!
This man is so disgusting!!
