Xiao Qi suddenly thought of something, and a glimmer of light flashed in his eyes.
"Xiao Ling, how did you end up in such a dangerous place? Could it be that you were framed? Tell Master, and Master will vent your anger on your behalf." Xiao Qi thought about how such a well-behaved, sensible, and beautiful girl was framed like this. It is really heinous to live in a place where even orcs are dangerous.
Seeing the angry look on the other party's face, Jiang Ling quickly explained: "Senior Xiao, you have misunderstood. It is not what you thought."
Master? Jiang Ling had some calculations in her heart, and it was obvious that the other party wanted to recognize him as his apprentice. To sum it up, she learned the other party's training method without permission. To a certain extent, the other party did not care about her and accepted her as his disciple, which really gave her a big advantage.
Her intuition told her that the other party would never harm her, and he had the same surname as Xiao Chen, so he might be a relative.
After all, they are quite powerful.
After figuring it out, Jiang Ling told him exactly what happened.
"You mean Xiao Chen?" Xiao Qi's expression was particularly solemn.
"Master, do you know him?"
"More than just knowing each other, I am also his third master." Xiao Qi looked cautious, "You separated after you entered the water?"
Jiang Ling nodded, and finally let go of the thought. It was the third master, so given this relationship, the other party would not harm him.
"After we separated, I was attacked by a water monster. After trying my best to escape, I came out of the deep pool and came here. But here is surrounded by cliffs. I couldn't find a way out at all, let alone go out to find my brother and the others. "
Jiang Ling recognized Xiao Chen as his adopted brother, so Xiao Qi was also Jiang Ling's third master. But Xiao Qi felt that his master was pleasing to his ears and close to him.
With Jiang Ling's temperament, he might suffer a loss. He had hugged Xiao Chen when he was a child, but was framed and reduced to this. Although he had never met him, he knew from others that he was already a very popular minister. He also knew that the other party was very deep in the city and had extraordinary methods.
And I also heard that he is a lonely star, so it is not a good destination for females.
I think he still has some conscience. He actually knew to recognize Jiang Ling as his foster sister and didn't harm her.
However, to be on the safe side, as long as he accepts Jiang Ling as his apprentice, she will be higher than Xiao Chen. So if you have other thoughts, you can't go beyond the etiquette.
The successive heads of the Xiao family have always taken the initiative to follow the rules and etiquette, but they also put the interests of the family first. They are naturally cold-hearted, and Xiao Chen must not be able to afford it.
"This is the depths of the Evil Beast Abyss. If it weren't for chance, few people would be able to get here. Xiaoling, you are lucky. That lake is called Water Monster Lake. As the name suggests, it is filled with the same water monsters you encountered, which are very ferocious. Add There is fog all year round on the upper lake, making it difficult to see clearly the surrounding environment. Even the powerful orcs cannot bear to stay in the water all the time. Over time, their physical strength gradually becomes exhausted."
Xiao Qi did not continue, but Jiang Ling also understood what the other party meant, and her heart sank. That's a bad thing.
Jiang Ling took a deep breath, "Is there any other possibility?"
"In addition to coming here like you, there is still a hope of living. There is an isolated island in this water monster lake, but it is far away from the direction you mentioned. The most important thing is to identify the direction. Otherwise, I am afraid it will also be a burial. The ending in the belly of the water monster.”
Jiang Ling's heart tightened and the corners of her mouth were sour. She didn't believe that Xiao Chen left like this? Will not!
"Master, how about we go out and look for him?" Jiang Ling's eyes were full of pleading.
Xiao Qi frowned, "It's not a wise choice to look for the water monster lake, especially now. Once you go out, you might be buried in the belly of the water monster. Especially after you go out, it's so foggy that you can't find anyone who doesn't say anything. It might cost you your life."
"What should we do?" Jiang Ling panicked. Xiao Qi in front of her was familiar with the terrain of this evil beast abyss. If he didn't have any idea, then she would have no choice.
"Wait for tomorrow. Every fifteenth day, as soon as the sun rises, the fog on the water monster lake will dissipate, and the water monster will be afraid of the sun and will not dare to come out of the water to harm people. Then we will row a boat to find people, as long as they don't enter In the water, there is no big problem. But if you pass Mingyi, you have to wait until next month." Xiao Qi looked serious.
Jiang Ling nodded, "I understand, Master." But he felt really uneasy, after all, a day had passed.
As time goes by, they become more dangerous.
Just in case, Jiang Ling told Xiao Qi about using the human skin mask before.
When Xiao Qi heard this, he was stunned for a moment and then burst into laughter.
"The little spirit is really smart. That's exactly what it should be. As the saying goes, a man is not guilty, but he is guilty of having a jade."
Jiang Ling took out the previous human skin mask, but found that it was no longer usable.
As a result, I can only show my true face for the time being.
However, she can turn into a tabby cat at will, so there's nothing she can do about it, right?
In order to make her face darker, Jiang Ling went to work in the fields.
There is a lot of waste in this land, but there are many wild fruits and melons growing there, and these weeds and vines can be cleaned up.
She used chopped sticks to build a shelf. In this way, cucumbers, winter melons, etc. would look much fresher and easier to pick.
"Xiao Ling, drink some water quickly." Xiao Qi greeted. He had never seen a female so eager to work.
I did this without ever taking a break.
Even he can't stand such a hot day.
"Don't get heat stroke."
"It's okay, Master. What does this little work mean? I used to clean up the rice in the fields." Jiang Ling didn't take it to heart at all. She was weak before, but now she has become Popeye. Even if Popeye ate spinach, he would not be as powerful as her.
Jiang Ling felt at ease, especially when she stepped on the soil. Under the scorching sun, the soil exuded a hot atmosphere. The thick, simple and plain feeling made people peaceful and calm.
Jiang Ling was extremely excited when she suddenly found a watermelon.
"Master, there are watermelons." There really is everything.
"Master, did you sow the watermelon seeds?"
Although Xiao Qi has a high martial arts value, he is not a good farmer. He can only plant yellow seeds, so he might as well just scatter some seeds randomly and they will grow well.
Xiao Qi was very angry and did not believe in evil, but the continuous blows made him understand that some things cannot be forced.
Especially as a genius, there are shortcomings.
Seeing the clean and tidy Jiang Ling in front of him, Xiao Qi was very pleased. Fortunately, his disciple made up for his shortcomings in this regard.
"I've spread it before, but I didn't expect that it would be better to grow it casually."
Xiao Qi was depressed.
However, he had a premonition that as long as he followed his disciple, he would not starve to death.
"Xiao Ling, what are you having for dinner?" Xiao Qi thought of the topic. As for Xiao Chen? He said that life and death were indifferent, and whether he lived or died depended on his fate.
