She released Xiaobai from the space of the jade bracelet. Xiaobai was sleeping soundly on Dabai's body. Suddenly, he was carried out of the space by Xia Yuanqiu. His eyes hadn't opened yet, but he smelled a familiar smell. It hurriedly opened its eyes, and the scenery in front of it was exactly what it was familiar with and missed. It was born here, grew up here, and left here in order to repay its kindness. It thought it would never come back in this life, but it didn't expect that after sleeping After a while, it came back.
Xiaobai happily jumped off Xia Yuanqiu's shoulders and jumped around on the grass outside the ghost forest.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "Xiao Bai, do you know where this spiritual spring is? Can you take me there?"
Xiaobai's cheerful body froze immediately. It looked back at Xia Yuanqiu with difficulty, a trace of fear in its big eyes.
Xia Yuanqiu asked suspiciously: "What? Is that place dangerous?"
Xiaobai nodded quickly and squeaked.
Xia Yuanqiu raised his eyebrows and said, "You mean, that spiritual spring is guarded by a mythical beast? It won't let anyone get close?"
Xiaobai nodded hurriedly, the fear in his eyes not dissipating at all.
Xia Yuanqiu rolled his eyes at it and said, "Why are you afraid of it? In time, you will eventually become a divine beast. Your bloodline is no lower than any beast."
Although he said this, Xiaobai was still very scared.
"You said that beast is very cruel? How cruel?" Xia Yuanqiu asked.
Xiaobai squeaked.
After hearing this, Xia Yuanqiu had a look of astonishment on his face: "So the legends are true. The villagers strayed into the ghost forest and never came back alive. So they were all eaten by this ferocious beast?"
Xiaobai nodded quickly.
Xia Yuanqiu frowned and said, "If it is so powerful, why have there never been any rumors about it in the world?"
Xiaobai squeaked: Because everyone who has seen it is dead, no living person knows its existence, and it never leaves the eye of the spiritual spring. It has relied on the spiritual spring to practice for thousands of years.
Xia Yuanqiu asked again: "If the spiritual spring is so important to it, why do we still allow the spring water to flow out?"
Xiaobai squeaked and replied: "This Lingquan used to be just a small spring with not much water. Ten years ago, a hundred-year-old ferocious beast living in the ghost forest came to challenge it. The hundred-year-old ferocious beast came to challenge it. The beast also had some opportunities and was strong. In order to obtain the Spiritual Spring Eye, it took the initiative to challenge the beast and fought with the beast for several days and nights. In the end, it lost to the beast and died in defeat. Since then, it has been attacked by the beast with its giant palm. After the earthquake, the water flow suddenly began to increase. Once there is more water, the mythical beast cannot use it up, and it will naturally overflow. It can't control so much. This makes it easier for us leak detectors, but it won't be like this for a long time. , but only for a few months of the year.”
So, it seems that this ferocious beast is not ordinary, and the spiritual beast is even more powerful. As the saying goes, it is easier to conquer a country than to defend it. This divine beast not only conquered a country for itself, but also defended it.
Xia Yuanqiu said: "No matter what, I have to give it a try. You can lead the way. I will take a look from a distance first. If there is a chance, I will not give up. If there is no chance, I will not be too aggressive."
Xiaobai had no choice but to take her into the ghost forest.
The temperature inside the forest is colder than outside, as if it's a chill that can penetrate people's bones.
Xiaobai, who was squatting on Xia Yuanqiu's shoulder, no longer had the joy and excitement of returning home after a long absence. The remaining emotions were only uneasiness and nervousness.
