Cheshui Lake is still endless as far as the eye can see. Under the clear sky, its golden and dazzling waves are almost connected to the sky.
I took Dallion to the place where the water demon entered the water yesterday. At this moment, he was squatting on the shore of the lake and carefully playing with a relatively flat rock.
I found that there were all kinds of weird things in his personal luggage.
He first took out a sharp file and flattened the edges of the rock, and then took out a bottle of green potion and sprinkled it on it. Visible to the naked eye, the surface of the rock was corroded until it was as soft as cheese. Then, he began to carve chaotic lines on it, like a small magic circle. That thing seemed to consume a lot of energy, and soon his nose was covered with fine beads of sweat. Finally, he sprinkled a bag of choking purple powder on the undulating rocks. Suddenly, the rocks were almost melting. It gradually solidified again, and exuded a warm luster like jade.
The smell was a bit pungent, so I immediately turned upwind of him, "Hey! What are you doing?"
"It's a little trick that His Highness Antonidas taught me," he said, wiping the sweat with the back of his hand, and then carefully put a little light green dust into the center of the small magic circle that he had finally carved out. , that was the water demon's blood he scraped off my glove, "If she's still around here, she should come to me."
"Oh! Really?!" I was a little surprised, and immediately ran to the opposite side of him, staring at the magic circle that he had just lit up.
There was a golden glow and green smoke curling up. When I squatted down, I could feel the acupuncture-like energy emanating from it. "Is this the secret method used by the purple guys to find people?"
"Uh... no, Messiah, this is only useful for water monsters." As soon as he finished speaking, he himself was stunned.
I'm always half a second slower than him, but that doesn't stop me from slowly glancing at his face, my gaze becoming contemptuous and meaningful, "His Royal Highness Antonidas... teach you how to attract the water demon?"
Visibly to the naked eye, Dallion's ears turned red, "Oh! It's not what you think, Messiah! We just..."
"But that's what I thought. Besides, Dallion, every time your ears turn red, I know there must be a ghost."
He leaned over and seemed to want to put his arm around my shoulders, but I turned away. He was startled and looked at his palms, somewhat dumbfounded, "Believe me, we only talked about this in our free time..."
"Oh~" I deliberately lengthened my tone and took a few exaggerated steps back, "You guys talk about water monsters in your free time... Tsk, Dallion, you impress me!"
"Oh, please, stop making trouble! You have to believe me..." Before he finished speaking, the sound of water splashing suddenly came to mind on the lake, and a blue water column stretched out from the lake water, swinging like a whip, and in the blink of an eye It wrapped around Dallion's ankle and pulled him off the lake shore before he could react!
"Oh!" He exclaimed with wide eyes and disappeared into the water splashing in the sky.
All that happened in just one second, and one second later, I ran to the shore.
The lake water was so clear, I saw the figure struggling in the water at a glance!
Darien!
He was being choked by the dark blue monster and quickly moved away from the lake shore.
Without thinking, I jumped into the cold water.
*
I am not good at swimming. After all, there is only a small river that is as high as my waist in Rubio Manor. This makes me farther and farther away from the monster. At this moment, she is already more than ten meters away, and the lake water The cold, extremely low water temperature made me feel a dull pain in the joints all over my body.
damn it!
I immediately took out the crossbow, gritted my teeth, took aim slightly, and then pulled the trigger.
With a whoosh, the sharp arrow broke through the water, but it exhausted its energy in front of the monster's feet and slowly sank!
oh!
I threw away the crossbow-arrow in annoyance and pulled out the dagger from my waist.
The world of shadow slowly overlapped with reality. I saw the wind of shadow blowing in all directions, but the monster was actually outside the gust of wind!
what to do? !
Schools of colorful fish swam lazily between me and the monster. I subconsciously stepped on the wind of shadows. Suddenly, I appeared behind a small blood-red fish, scaring it and running around.
Great, I seem to be getting closer to them!
Once again, I set foot on the Shadow Wind again, and this time, I appeared directly above them!
"Dali..." I wanted to call him below, but the biting lake water suddenly poured into my mouth, like countless sharp thorns, which stung my mouth.
Gululu--
The bubbles leaked out of my mouth, and the pain of suffocation made me immediately cover my mouth and nose, kicking my legs and swimming upward with all my strength.
However, the translucent water was so far away from me, and I couldn't put my head out until the breath in my mouth ran out.
My head was buzzing, and the cold water made me feel like I weighed more than a thousand pounds. I couldn't even bear the weight of a frozen hair.
what to do? !
I can’t seem to move my hands! Legs too! The lung lobes are also...
what to do? !
I felt like I was sinking like a stone!
No, no!
I stretched out my hand with all my strength, but my fingers were so stiff that I couldn't even hold the dagger, and the sharp weapon swirled and sank from the side of my face.
Ruined!
That was my only thought at that moment.
*
Gululu--
After spitting out all the bubbles, I swallowed large mouthfuls of cold water. I patted the water randomly, feeling that my consciousness was getting further and further away from me.
At that moment, I suddenly felt someone grab my wrist and then pull me away.
"Messiah!" A voice called anxiously in my ear, but I couldn't breathe and couldn't answer. The heavy pressure made me feel like my eyes would fall out of their sockets at any time.
The man put his arm around my chest, and suddenly, he squeezed hard.
In an instant, I felt all the organs in my body cry sharply, and ice water almost spurted out of my mouth and nose.
I coughed violently, and the cold air rushed into my throat, like a knife, cutting into my trachea and lungs.
God, God...
I suddenly opened my almost frozen eyelids. At this time, I found that I was still in the water, but why could I breathe? !
"Messiah? Messiah!" Someone pulled my shoulder and turned me around. Only then did I realize that it was Dallion. We were surrounded by a circle of bubbles, and those bubbles brought oxygen, and pulled us up quickly.
Wow--
We finally reached the water, and the dazzling sunlight almost blinded my eyes.
Snapped--
Bubbles burst.
I took a deep breath of the smelly air, and for the first time I felt that being able to breathe was such a wonderful thing.
"You silly girl," Dallion forcefully pushed the hair from my face behind my ears, "What are you doing here?!" He asked through gritted teeth, his eyes blazing.
I was shivering from the cold, "I, I... I can't look, look, watch you go, die..." As I said that, I hugged his neck hard, even if the lake water was cold, his body temperature was still It was as hot as fire. I wanted to blend into his body and bathe in his hot blood.
Subconsciously, I hugged him tighter, but it was still cold. I felt ice flowing in my veins!
He murmured something in a low voice, and then put his hand on my cheek. The warm holy light flowed like a waterfall, which made me feel better. However, the holy light quickly dissipated, and the biting coldness hit me again. Come on, this time I only felt severe pain all over my body. It felt like an awl was scratching everywhere in my temples, fingernails, ears, and throat, and my whole body was dripping with blood.
"...go...go...shore..." I raised my head and stared at him, my throat was choked by the cold breath, and I could no longer make any sound.
"Oh my God... take us ashore!" Dallion turned his head and roared, "Otherwise, I will never help you!"
I turned my head mechanically, and following his gaze, I caught a glimpse of the blue shadow under the water. She looked up at us. When she caught my gaze, she immediately took a few steps back. The light flowed in her amber vertical pupils, pleading and frightened, longing and disgusting.
"Hurry up!" Dallion yelled.
Hearing this, she bared her teeth angrily, but still nodded. Then, she blew out a huge bubble from her purple lips. The thing flew towards us, immediately wrapped us up, and pulled us We rushed towards the lake shore like flying.
*
"Come up! Messiah!" Dallion tried his best to drag me ashore. He seemed to be freezing and his lips were purple.
"I...I can't walk..." I gave him a smile that must have been uglier than crying, "My knees are frozen..."
"Don't stop at the shore, they will pull you into the water!" A strange voice came from not far away, sounding like a ball of soft cotton. I looked over and saw that the owner of the voice was the water demon. She had dragged her wet body ashore, but she did not come close and kept at least ten meters away from us.
"Hold on." Dallion rubbed my face vigorously, then suddenly gained strength and lifted me onto his shoulders. At that moment, he staggered two steps, "Oh...Messiah, why do I feel that you have become heavier?" Already..."
I clenched my fists tightly and cracked my knuckles, "...Do you think...I would say nonsense like 'this is strong'?"
"Can I follow you?" The water demon shouted nervously behind us, "You promised me that you would help me!"
Dallion looked back, hesitated, and agreed, "Follow me."
"You have to say you agree! Otherwise, I won't be able to get through at all!" The water demon followed Dallion's steps step by step. When she saw him stop, she also stopped immediately, "That barrier will hurt me!"
"...Is it the magic of words and spirits?"
"right."
"I agree, come with me!"
*
The heating circle in the hall is still running at high speed, and it brought me back to life.
I hugged the thick fleece blanket and huddled next to the magic circle, shivering.
The water demon was wrapped in a transparent gauze and curled up in the corner opposite me. I could see how disgusted she was with me. Every time her eyes glanced at me, a smile would appear on her beautiful face. An almost nauseating look.
She looked nothing like the one with blood-red pupils last night, perhaps because she had straight long golden hair and tearful eyes, which made her whole body look innocent and pitiful.
However, for such an innocent and pitiful woman, I have had the urge to beat her several times.
"Drink something hot." Unexpectedly, Dallion put a cup of hot water into my hand. The holy light in his hand was still shining, and the scorching temperature swept over the top of my head, blowing my wet hair. Steamed to dryness.
"Thank you, Darien." I said it to him, but my eyes never left the water demon in the corner, because her amber-like vertical pupils were always staring at Darien, like a greedy cat. Staring at the fish. I was really afraid that she would suddenly become violent, open her sharp teeth and eat Dallion alive.
Unexpectedly, Dallion laughed in my ear and touched my hair, and I immediately hid behind him. However, his claws didn't seem to let go of me at all. He just messed up my hair and then turned his head with satisfaction in my glare. Then, he looked at the water demon, then dug out a thin blanket from the luggage on the side, threw it from a distance, "Put it on."
The water demon spread her hands and said in a soft, coquettish voice, "I'm not afraid of the cold." As she said that, she suddenly stopped and smiled meaningfully. She stood up, and suddenly, she was almost The naked dark blue body is perfectly displayed in front of our eyes, "You don't dare to look at me, are you shy? Boy?"
Dallion's ears turned slightly red, "If you don't want to talk properly, you can say..."
"Hey! Wait! Don't say that!" The water demon immediately put on a blanket, covering up the beautiful lines all over his body, "What a naive boy... My name is Qin .”
"I am……"
"I know your name is Dallion, oh, don't say anything, they don't want to know about her at all."
oh!
Dallion looked sideways at me, touching his nose with his right hand, obviously helpless, and I glared at him.
"What do you want me to help you with?" Dallion asked after a pause.
"People..."
"speak nicely."
"My sisters are crazy. I ask you to capture them and purify them with the purification stone. I swear to the lake water that I will pay you the reward you dream of."
"Your sister?" I couldn't help but interject, "Is it the one with red eyes yesterday?"
Hearing my voice, Qin suddenly bared her fangs. Immediately, Dallion stood in front of me and clenched his fists vigilantly.
"...You...don't talk to me!" Her face was twisted, almost screaming. The next second, she banged her forehead against the wall, her nails scraping on the side with a harsh sound, "Oh... I'm going to spit it out!"
