(1) The Barrier of Yueyin Village (10)
The green mucus splashed in the air, and the green-eyed spider that was flying in the air flew into irregular fragments and landed on Xu Mo's side... The expected death did not come, only a few long piano sounds echoed, accompanied by the figure of the elegant young man in white falling down in the air.
"I said I would follow mine." Zero put Duorui on his shoulder on the ground, brushed a bowstring, and the spider web stuck to Xu Mo's body immediately shattered, turning into fine powder and blending into the withered grass.
"You's swoosh, and you're moving in an instant... How can I follow you closely?..." Xu Mo couldn't hide his helpless tone, turned to look at Duorui, who was lying aside with unconscious and scarred, and said with concern, "Is she okay?"
"Have you learned bandage in first aid?" Zero asked back.
"Yes... I'll bandage it." Xu Mo immediately climbed in front of Duorui and prepared to use first aid skills on him.
Yet at this moment, Zero laughed out loud: "I'm kidding with you, just use the little primary first aid you know. This is no longer a problem of injury. Her body is dead. In order to save time, she won't wait for herself to walk back from Rashomon - I'll save it."
After saying that, he walked to Duorui's side a few steps, stood up his index finger and middle finger at his mouth, murmured and recited a series of spells that he couldn't understand. An aperture gradually gathered on his fingertips, and there seemed to be a spell floating and rotating above the light source. Then, the young man of the spirit fox drew a circle in the air with the spiritual light from his fingertips. The light solidified and formed a phantom of light. Then, Zero slowly extended his left hand into the center of the circle. Magically, his outstretched arm did not appear from the other side through the aperture, but seemed to have disappeared into the air in a cut-off manner.
After a while, Zero, who had been chanting the mantra, slowly pulled his left hand back, and his arm slowly appeared and restored. When his palms and fingers were exposed, Xu Mo discovered that his hand was holding a condensed air, almost transparent hand shape, with the appearance of a floating soul in the fantasy movie. After a while, the soul pulled by him was finally exposed to the air. The form was known to be Duorui's soul at first sight.
"Thank you..." Duorui's soul floated in the air and thanked Ling Qingyan, and then slowly fell into his body lying on the ground.
After a few seconds, Duori's eyelashes trembled several times and opened his eyes.
"Thank you..." The cat-eared girl who sat up expressed her gratitude to Zero again, embarrassedly, "I didn't expect there were so many monsters around... As soon as I walked into the fog that was not far from you, five or six spiders suddenly rushed out! It's hard to defend..."
"So, as soon as I walked into this forest, I repeatedly followed me. This is my last reminder - if there is another situation of deviating from the team without my permission, I will forgive me for not saving it." Zero said and turned to the side, "Time is tight, let's heal while walking, and keep moving forward."
Xu Mo and Duorui looked at each other, got up, and did not care about the scars on their bodies, obediently followed Zero's footsteps and continued to walk towards the depths of the fog.
The world in the fog is the same no matter how you look at it. Under such circumstances, you are indifferent to the perception of time and space. For Xu Mo and Duorui, you are worried about not knowing the process.
Once again, he took out two related kraft paper sheets for the task and looked at it again and again. Xu Mo finally couldn't help but ask the white-clothed spirit fox walking in front: "Zero, are we going to find the refreshing flower first?"
"No." He answered frankly without looking back.
"Then where are we going?"
The boy in white simply kept silent and refused to answer this sentence.
Xu Mo felt the aura he exuded, "I don't want to chat". Momo sweated for a while, but still asked again with concern: "Then are we the host who goes directly to hunt hypnotic flowers?"
"Yes." The fox, who was annoyed by the question, responded softly, and his rapid pace suddenly stopped at this moment.
Xu Mo did not stop again and hit his back with a "bang" moment. Duo Rui, who was walking at the end, was also caught off guard and almost hit the two of them.
"There is a lake here." Zero stood straight and murmured without looking back.
-
"Lake?" The fog in the moment was so thick that it could not even be seen clearly at the land under my feet. Xu Mo and Duorui had to squat down and look around to look for the shadow of the lake. It looked very funny.
Perhaps he was amused by these two stupid behaviors, so he used his sleeves to cover the smile on the corner of his mouth, then pulled out his favorite guqin from behind, brushed the strings with his slender fingers. After only a light sound, Xu Mo felt that the thick fog around him seemed to have dissipated a little, and they finally saw the shape of water and soil connecting the lakeside not far ahead of their feet...
"Did you go wrong? Are you going to turn around? Or do you need to find a bridge? Or do you need to find a boat?..." Duorui, who had been holding back all the way after doing something wrong, finally couldn't help asking questions.
"I sensed it-I'm pretty sure what we're looking for is right in the middle of the lake. Judging from the current situation, we have to swim over..."
"Swim over?" Before Zero could finish speaking, Xu Mo and Duorui widened their eyes tacitly and shouted a question.
"What? - Can't swim? This is a necessary skill." Ling glanced at them indifferently.
"I really haven't learned it..." Even Duorui said this, let alone Xu Mo.
"Come here." Ling Wei turned sideways and hooked his fingers to the two behind him.
Xu Mo and Duorui walked up obediently, and were then hugged by Ling with one hand: "Swimming is a natural skill, you will definitely do it as long as you go swimming. The important thing is, don't be afraid, believe in yourself, and just let it go."
Just hearing Zero whisper, Xu Mo and Duorui had no time to ask questions, but he exerted his arms and threw them into the lake...
The cold lake water instantly passed through the thin slits of the armor and soaked every corner of the cloth. The biting cold air penetrated the lake water and stuck to every cell of the skin. In the dark lake water with dirty yellow, he opened his eyes with difficulty. He saw a bunch of bubbles spit out from the corner of his mouth. He breathed in a panic without controlling his breath. The cold water immediately choked into his throat, causing his limbs to rise without control...
Fortunately, Doret swam over in time, pulled his shoulders over, lifted them with force, and took him above his shoulders out of the lake.
"Cough, cough cough!..." Xu Mo struggled on the water, constantly coughing and choking on the lake water in his throat. These are all too similar to the feeling of drowning in the real world!
"Calm down, silent, calm down - do you know how to swim in the real world?" Duorui held his shoulder and reminded, "Just like the real world swimming, just breathing with rhythmic limb swings, just like me." She said, sliding the water with her other arm.
"I can't swim in reality..." Xu Mo only felt that the white-clothed spirit fox boy was really a fool, and he was determined to climb back to the shore.
"No, I can't learn to swim. How can I go to the middle of the lake later?" Zero stood on the shore with a serious warning, "I'm waiting here. After learning to swim, I'll call me again. I must know both of them, otherwise our trip will definitely stop here." As he said that, he sat down and played the piano lightly. No matter what Xu Mo, who was soaked in the water, said to him, he pretended not to hear it.
An hour passed quickly, and the silence of the lake water temperature, which was already accustomed to the temperature of the lake, could float on the water without Duorui's support and slowly paddle.
"Hey! That Zero, Xumo can swim!" Duorui shouted at the boy in white who was sitting on the shore with his eyes closed and playing the piano. She was almost completely losing her patience, "Let's go quickly, if you don't leave, I'll be soaked into pickles!"
Zero slowly opened his eyes, stopped the piano, looked carefully for a while, and tried hard to beat the footboard to make him float on the water before he stood up casually and said, "Then let's go."
"Since you are going to the middle of the lake, you have to go into the water, right?" Xu Mo shouted to the fox, "Hurry up and let's swim together!"
Zero did not respond to his shout, but his body did come towards the lake. He raised his foot gracefully toward the water surface, and a circle of light white light wheels bloomed under his feet and appeared, floating and rotating spells that were incomprehensible. Under Xumo and Duorui's eyes, he stood on the spell light wheel, completely without wetting his body, standing on the water surface.
"Let's go, follow me closely." Looking down at the two kittens soaked in the water, Zero couldn't help but chuckled, and then walked in the center of the lake with a silly expression.
Xu Mo instantly felt like he was fooled by someone indescribable...
But the task is even greater, and the important battle is approaching, so I no longer worry about the details. I followed the direction of my two companions and swam over hard.
In the foggy lake, you must concentrate your energy and move it desperately so that you will not lose the boy in white who was walking forward with Uber ahead.
Because he was too focused on the white back, Xu Mo did not immediately realize that the concentration of the fog had begun to gradually become thinner after a period of travel... until a small island-like protruding object appeared faintly not far away.
-
Duorui, who was swimming in front, turned around and summoned Xu Mo, then pointed at the protrusion and shouted loudly: "Look! Look ahead, look ahead, is that an island in the middle of a lake? Is our target on that island?"
At this time, Xu Mo finally turned his attention to the scenery ahead.
He stared hard, trying to see if any strange creatures appeared in any corner of the island. But what frightened him was that the island-like object began to move slowly-
