The green slime splashed in the air, and the green-eyed spider leaping in the air broke into irregular pieces and landed beside Xu Mo with a clatter... The expected death did not come, only a few long chants The sound of the piano echoed, accompanied by the figure of the elegant boy in white falling from the air.
"I said to follow me closely." Zero put Dori, who was on his shoulders, on the ground, brushed a bowstring, and the spider web sticking to Xu Mo's body immediately shattered, turning into fine powder and blending into the Withered grass.
"You disappeared all of a sudden, like teleportation... How can I follow you closely?..." Xu Mo couldn't hide his helpless tone, and turned to look at Duo Rui, who was lying unconscious and bruised , concerned, "Is she okay?"
"Didn't you learn the bandaging in first aid?" Zero asked rhetorically.
"Yes... I'll bandage it up." Xu Mo immediately climbed up to Duo Rui, ready to use first aid skills on him.
At this moment, Ling laughed out loud with a "poof": "I'm joking with you, as long as you know the basic first aid technique, you should use it on yourself. This is no longer a problem of injury, her body has been Dead, in order to save time, don't wait for her to come back from Rashomon by herself—let me save her."
After finishing speaking, he walked up to Dory's side in a few steps, raised his right index finger and middle finger to his mouth, and muttered a series of incomprehensible spells, a circle of light gradually gathered on his fingertips, above the light source There seemed to be spells floating and spinning, and then, the spirit fox boy drew a circle in the air with the aura of his fingertips, and the light solidified in the air, forming a phantom of brilliance, and then, Zero slowly stretched his left hand into the circle In the center, magically, his outstretched arm did not appear from the other side through the aperture, but disappeared into the air as if cut off.
After a while, Ling, who continued to chant the mantra, slowly withdrew his left hand, and the arm slowly appeared and restored. When his palm and fingers were exposed, Xu Mo found that his hand was holding a condensed air, similar to The transparent shape of the hand has the appearance that Piao Wusoul should have in fantasy movies. After a period of time, the souls drawn by him are finally exposed to the air, and the shape can be seen as Dori's soul at a glance.
"Thank you..." Dory's soul floated in the air and thanked Zero softly, and then slowly fell into the body lying on the ground.
After a few seconds, Dori's eyelashes fluttered a few times and she opened her eyes.
"Thank you..." The cat-eared girl who sat up shyly thanked Zero again, "I didn't expect there to be so many monsters around... I walked into the fog that wasn't far from you, and all of a sudden Five or six spiders came out! It's impossible to guard against..."
"So, as soon as I walked into this forest, I kept repeating to keep up with me. This is my last reminder—if you deviate from the team again without my permission, please forgive me." Zero said and turned his head Turning around, "Time is running out, let's heal your wounds while walking, and move on."
Xu Mo and Duo Rui looked at each other, got up, ignored the scars on their bodies, obediently followed Zero's footsteps, and continued to walk towards the depths of the mist.
No matter how you look at the world in the fog, the perception of time and space is indifferent in such a situation. For Xu Mo and Duo Rui, not knowing the progress is flustered.
Once again, Xu Mo took out two related task kraft paper sheets and looked at them again, and finally Xu Mo couldn't help but ask the white-clothed Linghu who was walking in front: "Zero, are we going to find refreshment flowers first?"
"No." Without turning back, he answered simply and neatly.
"Then where are we going?"
This sentence, the boy in white simply kept silent and did not answer.
Feeling the aura of "I don't want to chat" emanating from him, Xu Mo silently broke into a sweat, but still asked worriedly: "Then are we directly hunting the host of the hypnotic flower?"
"Yes." The fox who was annoyed by the question responded softly, and the pace of walking quickly stopped suddenly at this time.
Once again, Xu Mo didn't stop steadily, and bumped into his back with a "boom", and Duo Rui, who was walking at the back, was also caught off guard and almost bumped into the two of them.
"There is a lake here." Standing straight, Zero murmured without looking back.
-
"Lake?" The fog in which they are now is so thick that they can't even see the land under their feet clearly. Xu Mo and Duo Rui had to squat down and look around to find the shadow of the lake. The appearance is very funny.
Perhaps amused by the silly behavior of these two, Ling covered the smile at the corner of his mouth with his sleeves, then pulled out his favorite Guqin from behind, brushed the strings with his slender fingers, after only a soft tone, he felt the surroundings silently. The dense fog seems to have dissipated a little, and they finally saw the shape line connecting the water and soil by the lake not far in front of their feet...
"Did I go wrong? Is this a U-turn? Or do I need to find a bridge? Or a boat?..." Dory, who had been holding back all the way after doing something wrong, finally couldn't help asking.
"I sensed - I'm pretty sure what we're looking for is in the middle of the lake. As things stand, we're going to have to swim across it..."
"Swim over?!" Before Ling finished speaking, Xu Mo and Duo Rui widened their eyes in a tacit understanding and called out a question.
"What? - Can't swim? This is a necessary skill." Zero glanced at them indifferently.
"I really haven't learned..." Even Duo Rui said that, let alone Xu Mo.
"Come here." Ling Wei turned sideways, pointing two Gogou fingers behind her.
Xu Mo and Duo Rui came forward obediently, and were immediately embraced by Zero: "Swimming is a natural skill, as long as you swim, you will definitely be able to. The important thing is, don't be afraid, believe in yourself , let go and do it.”
Hearing Ling's whispers, before Xu Mo and Duo Rui had time to ask questions, he was thrown into the lake by his arms...
The icy lake instantly passed through the slits of the armor and soaked every corner of the cloth. The biting cold permeated every cell of the skin through the dipping of the lake. Opening his eyes, he saw a string of air bubbles leaking from the corner of his mouth. He couldn't control his breathing and took a panicky inhalation. The cold water immediately choked into his throat, causing his limbs to stumble uncontrollably...
Fortunately, Dored's figure swam over in time, pulled him over his shoulders, lifted him hard, and brought him out of the lake above his shoulders.
"Cough, cough cough!..." Xu Mo struggled on the surface of the water, constantly coughing and choking the lake water in his throat, all these were too similar to the feeling of drowning in the real world!
"Calm down, be silent, calm down—do you know how to swim in the real world?" Dori supported his shoulders, prompting, "It's the same as swimming in the real world, just rhythmic breathing and rhythmic body movements, just like I do," she said, sliding her other arm across the water.
"I can't swim in reality..." Xu Mo only felt that the white-clothed spirit fox boy was really cheating, and he wanted to crawl back to the shore.
"No, I can't learn how to swim, so how can I get to the center of the lake later?" Standing on the shore, Ling reprimanded earnestly, "I'll wait here, and call me after I learn how to swim. Both of us must know how to swim, otherwise we This journey will definitely stop here." After speaking, he sat down and caressed the sound of the piano, no matter what Xu Mo, who was immersed in the water, said to him, he pretended not to hear.
An hour passed quickly, and Xu Mo, who had gotten used to the temperature of the lake, began to float on the water without Dory's support, and row slowly.
"Hey! That Zero, Xu Mo can swim now!" Duo Rui yelled at the boy in white who was sitting on the bank with his eyes closed and playing the piano. Pickles!"
Zero slowly opened his eyes, stopped the sound of the piano, carefully looked at the poor Xu Mo who was struggling to beat his feet to float on the water for a while, then stood up casually, and said: "Then let's go."
"Since you are going to the center of the lake, you have to go into the water, right?" Xu Mo yelled at the fox, "Hurry down, let's swim there together!"
Zero didn't answer his call, but the body did walk toward the lake. He raised his feet gracefully to the water surface, and a circle of light white light discs bloomed and appeared under his feet, with incomprehensible spells floating and spinning on it—under the direct gaze of Xu Mo and Dory, he was like this Standing on the mantra light wheel, completely, without getting wet, standing on the water.
"Let's go, follow me." Looking down at the two kittens soaked in the water, with a silly expression on their faces, Ling couldn't help chuckling, and then walked gracefully towards the center of the lake.
For a moment, Xu Mo had an indescribable feeling of being played by someone, a weird feeling...
But the task is even bigger, and the important battle is just around the corner, so he no longer gets obsessed with the details, and silently and clumsily follows the direction of the two companions, and swims hard.
In the foggy lake, you have to concentrate on paddling hard, so as not to lose the white-clothed boy who is driving ahead with an Uber.
Because he was too focused on the white figure, Xu Mo didn't realize immediately that the concentration of the fog had gradually thinned after a while... until a small island-like protruding object loomed not far away.
-
Dory, who was swimming ahead, turned around to call Xu Mo, and then pointed to the protrusion and reminded loudly: "Look! Ahead, look ahead, is that an island in the middle of the lake? Is our target on that island?"
At this time, Xu Mo finally shifted his gaze to the scenery ahead.
He stared hard, trying to see if there were any strange creatures appearing in any corner of the island, but, to his horror, the island-like object began to move slowly—
