The monitors reported the situation to their respective masters.
After listening to the report, Nangong Qi's idea of who the child of destiny is leaned slightly towards Xie Ying. After all, the information received before was not as credible as her own investigation.
Not only Nangong Qi thought so, most other people thought so.
"In terms of luck, Xie Ying is much better." Su Songting thought of Xie Ying's Water Qilin, and then thought of Xie Jiuniang's sword at the critical moment in the conflict, "Let's see."
"Yes, young master."
A disciple of the Su family answered respectfully.
the other side.
Xie Jiuniang looked at the sky of the secret realm vigilantly.
The sky was grey, with no clouds or sun. Before entering the secret realm, she had learned that the day and night here were not clearly distinguished and there was no regular pattern. Sometimes it would suddenly get dark, and each time it would last for two hours.
Darkness is the most dangerous time in the secret realm, and the monsters and plants will be particularly active. The experience of the predecessors told them that when it is dark in the secret realm, they must find a safe place to stay, and it is best not to make a big noise, otherwise they will die without knowing how.
There were signs before dark.
If you pay close attention you will notice...
Before Xie Jiuniang could remind him, Xie Haoran said, "It's getting dark. We need to find a safe place to stay immediately."
Xie Ying and others all agreed.
Xuanyuan You did not object.
Xie Jiuniang knew that there was a cave ahead, so she used the contract to communicate with the water qilin and told it the location of the cave.
As a result, Xie Ying became famous again.
Found a cave to stay in.
There was nothing unusual in the cave except the thick dust.
Xuanyuan You said: "This cave was probably opened by the disciples who came here to train in the past."
"Is this easy to see?" Xie Jiuniang retorted quietly.
Everyone can see it, so don't show it off.
Xie Haoran took out the formation plate and set up the formation.
Xie Jiuniang miraculously stood at the entrance of the cave.
The contracted beasts from all parties outside could not find a chance to sneak into the cave and were all blocked outside the cave by the formation.
When she saw that Xie Haoran had only set up a defensive formation, the cautious Xie Jiuniang took out a small isolation formation.
After finishing the arrangement, Xie Jiuniang found that everyone was looking at her, "It's better to be cautious in the wild. I am responsible for my own life."
"Haha, Xiaojiu is doing well this way." Xie Haoran didn't think much about it.
Suddenly, the sky darkened.
Inside the cave, it was pitch dark.
Xie Ying took out a night-shining pearl, and its soft light illuminated the entire cave.
This cave is not big, about the size of a bedroom.
Xie Jiuniang took out her sword and opened up a cave that was just big enough to hold the large turtle shell.
So she threw out the big turtle shell and slipped back in.
Xuanyuan You poked his head out of curiosity, but Xie Jiuniang kicked him away and he dared not look anymore.
Xie Jiuniang evaded the point and said, "I need to rest. Don't disturb me if you have nothing to do."
As soon as Xuanyuan You saw that the entrance of the small cave was blocked by a stone, he put away his curiosity.
Xie Jiuniang took out the Time Treasure Leaf from it.
A plump silver leaf lay in her little palm.
She discovered that after dark in the secret realm, the Time Leaf became particularly active, flashing silver light from time to time.
But once she entered the big turtle shell, Bao Ye stopped flashing.
Xie Jiuniang put the Time Leaf into her sea of consciousness, walked out of the tortoise shell, and noticed that the Time Leaf was flashing silver light again.
Seeing that everyone else was looking for a place to meditate and resting with their eyes closed, Xie Jiuniang said nothing and walked lightly to the cave entrance.
Take out the cushion and meditate.
Xie Jiuniang asked in her consciousness, "Xiao Shuishui, did you feel anything unusual after dark in the secret realm?"
"I don't know, I just want to eat..." the water unicorn answered cutely.
Wait until all the stored pills, spiritual fruits and spiritual plants are eaten up.
It looked at Xie Jiuniang with watery eyes, and sent a voice message through its consciousness: "I'm so hungry, Master. Shui Shui is so hungry..."
Xie Jiuniang vaguely guessed the problem.
Give it a bunch of spiritual fruits.
It happily started eating again.
Xie Jiuniang started chatting with the sword spirit.
The sword spirit also felt that something was wrong at this dark time. "Dog master, it's getting chaotic outside. The monsters around are very active. Those who are not hiding are being chased by monsters."
There are always some people who don't have time to hide.
Xie Jiuniang noticed that Shui Qilin's eyes were tearful again, "Master Shui Shui is still very hungry."
"Why?" Xie Jiuniang asked.
“Eating makes me feel good… Shui Shui thinks that being full is good for the body.”
"Yeah?"
Xie Jiuniang seemed to be thinking about something. She gave the water unicorn a bunch of spiritual fruits and some spiritual plants she harvested today. "Eat it. If you don't have enough, there are more. By the way, do you like meat? I have python meat here."
"Thank you, master. Shui Shui is a vegetarian." The Water Qilin is an auspicious beast. It usually only eats spiritual fruits, spiritual herbs, and spiritual pills.
Xie Ying secretly opened her eyes.
Seeing Xie Jiuniang feeding the water unicorn, she closed her eyes again. The water unicorn had been crying out for hunger, but Xie Ying was very poor and pretended to be meditating and didn't hear it...
The contracted beast is too greedy!
Can’t afford it!
Xie Ying never stopped the water unicorn from acting cute in exchange for food in the sect. This can also reduce the burden of raising monsters.
Xie Ying opened and closed her eyes, how could Xie Jiuniang not know
But, never mind.
Who made this guy his contracted beast
While feeding the water unicorn, Xie Jiuniang and the sword spirit studied the strange situation in the secret realm at night.
Until the water qilin was full, it fell asleep again.
Xie Jiuniang turned back to the big turtle shell.
I found that the Time Leaf was not flashing again.
The broken sword flew out of the contract space and circled around Xie Jiuniang for a few times. He extended half of the sword out of the tortoise shell, sensed the situation outside, and came back to tell Xie Jiuniang.
So, Xie Jiuniang put away the turtle shell.
Just sit in the newly dug hole and block it with a big rock.
Just avoided the sight of the other five people.
Then he took out the Time Leaf and let the sword spirit be on alert.
Sure enough, the Time Treasure Leaf was flashing silver light again.
Xie Jiuniang used her spiritual sense to check the Time Leaf and found that it seemed to be absorbing something from the outside world.
It took nearly half an hour.
After observing the physical condition of the water qilin, Jian Ling and Xie Jiuniang concluded that there was something strange about the nightfall in the Luyuan secret realm. A very special energy was diffused around, which seemed to be able to improve the qualifications of the monster. For example, the water qilin kept eating and eating, and would sleep when it was full. According to Jian Ling's observation, the bloodline of the water qilin was gradually improving.
This improvement is extremely subtle, but also very rare.
The sword spirit said: "Master, if you want to confirm your guess, can you feed the water Qilin some more natural treasures?"
"We'll talk about it next time."
Just now, Xie Jiuniang fed the water unicorn a lot of things.
In addition to the three spiritual plants specified in the sect's mission, all the harvested during the day was fed to it, including hundreds of kilograms of spiritual fruits.
