Xia Ni anxiously put the little red snake in his hand into his pocket.
"Sister Long... we..."
"You stay here and don't move." Auntie Long rolled up her sleeves and got ready. "Protect yourself."
"Sister Long, do you want to go in?" Xia Ni's eyes widened, "What if there is danger inside..."
Auntie Long didn't answer him, but squatted down on one knee, spread her palms, and sent something in her right palm to the ground.
Xia Ni obediently squatted next to Aunt Long.
"Spider..." Xia Ni looked at the eight-legged spider that was completely black and turned to ask Aunt Xiang Long, "Sister Long, is this your life insect?"
Auntie Long nodded slightly, "Yes."
"It's such an ugly... such a big spider..." Xia Ni changed her words cleverly, "Sister Long, this is the first time I've seen your life insect."
Auntie Long thought for a while and said, "Yes, after all, you don't usually go out to fight with us. How can you have the chance to meet my spider?"
The black spider moved its thin legs nimbly, and after groping at the door for a while, it swaggered in.
The two stood up and stared at the spider's back with concern.
In a snow-white space, the spider looked harmonious yet abrupt. It climbed freely on the ground, leaving a thin black mark on the ground it passed.
"What is that?" Xia Ni asked, pointing to the black mark, "Has it faded?"
Auntie Long felt very speechless, "Do you think it's your strange thing? It also loses color..."
"My little red snake won't fade either."
"This is it surveying," Auntie Long was too lazy to talk nonsense with him, and simply explained, "The area it surveyed is a safe area, and black lines are printed to indicate that there is no potential danger here."
"How long will it take to survey such a large space?" Xia Ni asked kindly.
"Don't worry, it will come soon." Auntie Long raised her finger and pointed, "Soon there will be the third wall."
The spider had climbed onto the roof, and black marks were also drawn over it. Just when the two thought they could pass through this wall safely, the spider suddenly changed its trajectory and started spinning in place.
The black marks overlapped and covered the place where it spun, gradually turning into a small black ball. The spider spun faster and faster. Slowly, the two of them could hardly find its exact position. .
"Sister Long, what's wrong with it?" Xia Ni asked.
Auntie Long's eyes followed the spider hard, and she almost didn't hear Xia Ni's question. Her right hand clenched tightly, and a large bead of sweat slid down her temples.
Xia Ni turned her head and glanced at Aunt Long. Seeing her abnormal reaction, she screamed in her heart that it was bad, but she could only bite her lower lip and wait quietly for Aunt Long's reaction.
The tense atmosphere gradually spread.
The black circle on the ceiling was expanding, and Xia Ni's eyes turned back and forth between Auntie Long and the circle.
Then, suddenly, Xia Ni felt a gust of wind pass by his ears.
It's Auntie Long.
Before Xia Ni had time to react, Auntie Long raised her right palm high and leaned her whole body into the door.
"receive!"
When the spider heard Auntie Long's order, its spinning movement stopped instantly. It jumped into the air and flew toward Auntie Long's right hand.
The artistry of this scene couldn't be higher. In Xia Ni's eyes, everything seemed to be in slow motion.
Until the ground beneath their feet began to tremble.
Xia Ni held on to the door frame with one hand, and held Auntie Long's arm with the other hand to steady the two of them.
"Quick, take it!"
Auntie Long was even more anxious. If Xia Ni hadn't pulled her hard, it seemed that she had even planned to rush into the room directly.
When the spider was still several meters away from Auntie Long's hand, something unexpected happened.
Countless cracks suddenly opened on the four walls of the room. As soon as the cracks opened, dense black hands quickly emerged from the cracks and grabbed the spider in mid-air.
Auntie Long's shouts were trembling.
"receive!"
Almost hoarse.
However, it was too late.
In just a moment, the countless black hands had firmly grasped the spider, and Auntie Long let out a clear whimper from deep in her throat. Then, Auntie Long's heavy body suddenly fell to the ground, taking with her the summer mud beside her, and fell together. Toward the door...
***
Am I useless?
Xiaolan could only hear her inner voice.
Am I vulnerable.
Although she knew that she shouldn't have these thoughts now, Xiaolan still couldn't control herself.
It's like... these thoughts went directly into my mind...
"Xiaolan!"
Qin Yin's roar not only woke up Xiaolan, but also scared her to the point of trembling.
Xiaolan looked at Qin Yin and Taoist Master and felt even more guilty.
"Xiaolan, what's wrong with you recently?" The Taoist priest's eyes were deep, "You're always absent-minded."
"Maybe the little girl has grown up and has her own thoughts," Qin Yin said seriously, "Are you in love?"
"I...ah? Who should I fall in love with?"
"How did I know this?" Qin Yin rubbed Xiaolan's head, "My child, you have reached the age of puppy love. It doesn't matter, we all understand."
Xiaolan wanted to roll her eyes.
"Speaking of which..." Li Muyuan didn't want to participate in the conversation just now. Seeing that the conversation finally stopped, he hurriedly changed the topic, "I wonder where the head of the Xiahua family is now..."
Hearing Xia Hua's name, Xiaolan's chest felt heavy for some reason.
Summer flowers...
Summer flowers?
"Xia...Xia Hua is..."
"Have you forgotten who Xia Hua is?" Qin Yin was a little surprised, "Xiaolan, have you hurt your brain?"
"No, I haven't forgotten..." Xiaolan pressed her temples and shook her head, "But I always feel like this name... seems..."
Several people hurriedly came over.
"Can you feel the presence of the Xiahua family head?" Li Muyuan asked.
"I don't know either, but..." Xiaolan lowered her head, as if looking for something on the ground, "But I feel like she is very close to us..."
"Very close?" Qin Yin asked, "Is she also in the water? But I didn't touch her just now."
After listening to Xiaolan's words, several people stood up one after another and looked away in all directions.
Xiaolan was left alone sitting on the shore, frowning, staring at the ground in a daze.
Xia Hua, to me, this is a name that is not unfamiliar, but it is not very familiar either.
But now, Xiaolan feels that this name is so close to her...
My chest suddenly felt hot.
Xiaolan raised her hand, gently opened her collar, and looked down.
Her breathing suddenly caught.
In the center of his chest, a black snake pattern suddenly appeared.
