Gu Fuyou saw a swaying black shadow under the rippling water waves, and knew that the thing that was entangled with him must be the tail of a sea beast.
Her hands were not tied, so she opened her storage bag and was about to look for a talisman that she could use.
A wave of water a foot high suddenly rose in front of the spirit beast. This was not a huge wave caused by the sea itself, but someone used sword energy to slash across the sky, which caused this huge snow wave.
Gu Fuyou looked back and saw that it was Zhong Michu who had rushed over.
The spirit beast no longer fled, but floated to the surface of the water, revealing its body.
Silver armor with poisonous hooks and claws as sharp as blades.
Gu Fuyou said in a lost voice: "Sea scorpion."
Gu Fuyou immediately resisted with all his body and moved away from the poisonous hook in front of him.
The tail hook of the sea scorpion is extremely poisonous. If a cultivator of her level of cultivation is accidentally poisoned, within three hours her body will turn purple and swollen, her wounds will fester, and she will die.
The death was so tragic that it was unbearable to watch.
The sea scorpion was afraid of Zhong Michu, but did not intend to let go of this delicious food, Gu Fuyou. It raised its big claws as if to threaten him, but the sea scorpion raised both of its claws together, like a person crossing his arms, which looked more like a sign of weakness.
Gu Fuyou looked at the sea scorpion's swinging claws and suddenly remembered something. She had read somewhere that sea scorpions are male and female, and always travel in pairs.
I have never seen a sea scorpion before, so I don’t know if this statement is true or not.
Gu Fuyou always felt a little uneasy, and this uneasiness soon became a reality.
She saw a white shadow suddenly rushing out from the water behind Zhong Michu. It was the tail of a sea scorpion, and its poisonous hook pierced Zhong Michu's back.
There were indeed two! The one that was wrapped around her was bigger, so it must be a male scorpion, and the one that attacked Zhong Michu was a female!
Gu Fuyou's heart jumped with shock, and he shouted, "Zhong Michu, behind me!"
But Zhong Michu was calm and dodged away. A column of water rose from the sea and supported her body.
She controlled the sword with her left hand, and with a flash of sword light, Geng Chen arrived in front of Gu Fuyou. The sword tip suddenly turned and cut off the poisonous hook that Gu Fuyou was afraid of. The male scorpion had no time to avoid it. She raised her right hand, and a giant hand formed by condensed water rose from the sea, holding the female scorpion lurking in the sea.
The female scorpion was quite large and fierce, but once the sailor grabbed it, it froze up and didn't dare to struggle at all, like a cat with its neck pinched.
Zhong Michu defeated the enemy with just two moves, and not even a strand of his hair was messed up.
This was the first time that Gu Fuyou saw Zhong Michu take serious action.
At this moment, in Gu Fuyou's eyes, Zhong Michu was like a god descending from heaven, with stunning charm that overshadowed everything in the world.
Gu Fuyou was so excited that she felt all the blood rushing to her head. She was so happy that her whole body was numb. Her eyes were shining brightly. She forgot that she was still in danger and cheered: "Senior Sister Zhong, you did a great job. You are awesome!!!"
Zhong Michu turned around to look at Gu Fuyou with a complicated look in his eyes. Geng Chen was about to cut off the sea scorpion's tail to rescue Gu Fuyou, but he suddenly stopped.
It was this moment of stagnation that caused the sea scorpion that was entangled with Gu Fuyou to realize that it could not defeat him, so it took advantage of the gap and sank into the sea in an attempt to escape.
Zhong Michu called back Gengchen and dived into the water.
After she entered the water, she was more adept at it than in the air. Her movements were even more agile and nimble than those of the sea scorpions living on the seabed.
The sea scorpion was so frightened that it no longer had the will to resist. It threw Gu Fuyou to the left and quickly ran to the right for its life.
Zhong Michu's body was like a swimming fish, free and easy in the water, and in an instant he swam to Gu Fuyou.
Gu Fuyou was thrown by the sea scorpion just now, with her head facing the seabed and her feet facing the water surface. She had opened the storage bag earlier, ready to find the talisman to escape, and then closed it.
At this moment, his figure was floating upside down in the water, and the talismans and spirit stones in the storage bag fell down one after another and floated in the water.
Gu Fuyou reached out to grab the talismans, but suddenly she felt a force pulling her waist. She thought it was the sea scorpion that had returned.
The force supported her and pulled her along, so that she was able to turn her body around and see clearly that the person holding her waist was not the sea scorpion, but Zhong Michu.
However, in the blink of an eye, just a blink of an eye, Gu Fuyou had a strange feeling, and he didn't even have time to close his eyelids completely, and opened them hurriedly.
She and Zhong Michu were both floating upside down in the water.
It was clear that just a moment ago, the two of them had already stepped on the muddy seabed.
At this moment, not only were the two of them floating in the sea without being able to see the bottom of the sea, they were also floating upside down. The surroundings were dark green and silent, and there was nothing else except the talisman floating on the side.
Looking into the distance, the blue is extremely deep and swallowed by darkness. There is no life here. It is completely different from the previous shallow sea scene and more like a deep sea.
Gu Fuyou blew out two bubbles and gestured to Zhong Michu.
It was a teleportation formation. There was a teleportation formation under their feet just now.
As luck would have it, her storage bag was open and the spirit stone fell out, activating the formation and bringing them here.
This time, I don’t know where I was sent.
Gu Fuyou thought that this time it shouldn't be a bad place. Even if her luck was bad, it would not be as bad as Zhong Michu, who was favored by heaven.
Gu Fuyou was lost in thought when Zhong Michu grabbed her arm and turned her around.
Then he circulated his spiritual power and controlled the water.
After the two men rushed out of the sea, Zhong Michu raised his sleeves, and Geng Chen turned into a sword light, carrying the two men to the shore.
When I went ashore, I saw that the cliff was no longer there. The beach was still there, but on the other side of the beach was an endless desert with endless yellow sand that connected to the sky.
It seems that they stepped into the teleportation array, and although they were still in the sea after being teleported, it was not the same sea area.
Gu Fuyou fell to the ground, coughing continuously. He coughed too quickly and choked on two mouthfuls of water.
After choking, he spread out his palms and looked at the talisman he had grabbed in an emergency.
The talisman was soaked in water and was damaged, so it could no longer be used. The remaining talismans, along with the elixirs and spirit stones in the storage bag, fell to the bottom of the sea.
There was only a piece of Ksitigarbha meat and the sword embryo she treasured in the corner left in the storage bag.
Gu Fuyou lay on the ground in frustration, as if he had lost all color and turned gray.
It took her three full months to refine those talismans!
Ancient books have always called the runes of the talisman the "language of God", saying that it has the effect of suppressing evil and expelling evil spirits. In fact, this talisman is just a carrier of magic and formation, and a kind of magic tool.
In order to save spiritual energy and make it easier to use, people at that time developed magical instruments such as talismans, which could store various spells and formations. When used, the talisman did not consume any spiritual energy, and only needed to call upon the properties of the talisman to display its divine power.
This talisman only needs language as the key to activate it, which is the greatness of language. In ancient times, it was also called "the spirit of words".
All in all, the talisman is useful, but it also has disadvantages, that is, it can only be used once, it is easily damaged, and it is extremely afraid of water and will be damaged if it comes into contact with water.
Zhong Michu dusted off his clothes. After swimming in the sea, his body was now clean and tidy without a drop of water on it.
She saw Gu Fuyou's expression and saw that she had been sitting on the ground without getting up. She hesitated for a moment and asked, "Are you hurt?"
Gu Fuyou seemed to have lost his soul. He grabbed a broken talisman and muttered in despair, "My talisman... Hehe, I have been refining it for more than three months..."
Working day and night, just to relax a little in Xianluo and help Si Miao and Gu Huaiyou.
Zhong Michu glanced at the talismans scattered all over the ground. She could still vaguely see the runes on the tattered talisman paper. Although she was not good at refining equipment and formations, she knew a lot about it.
Although these talismans can only be used once, considering the number, they are extremely difficult to refine. It is a pity to destroy them like this.
What's more, there are some rare talismans among them, which were refined in March. Zhong Michu was a little surprised when he heard it.
Zhong Michu took another look at Gu Fuyou, who was in a daze and wanted to throw his head to the ground, and felt guilty. If she had acted more decisively, Gu Fuyou would not have fallen into the sea and destroyed the talisman.
Zhong Michu thought about it for a while, then said carefully: "Don't worry, I promised you, and I won't regret it."
Gu Fuyou did not respond. Zhong Michu was silent for a moment, then said, "I know the magic on these talismans. If you want to use them, let me do it."
Gu Fuyou looked up at her. Because he had been soaking in the cold sea water for too long, his face was pale and the tip of his nose was a little red. His eyes were also dry from being soaked in water, and the edges were red, making his eyes look watery.
She was a little dazed. Firstly, she had not yet recovered from the shock of having her talisman completely destroyed. Second, she did not quite understand what Zhong Michu meant by his sudden words.
Zhong Michu actually wanted to comfort her, but seeing her like this, he thought she didn't believe what he said.
So without saying much, he waved his long sleeves and the wind blew up from the ground. This was the wind that swept the yellow sand, making a whirring sound, and turned into a small tornado, moving deep into the desert.
Zhong Michu turned his wrist again, and a flame appeared in his palm. This was the fire control. He threw it gently and it exploded, shining like a red lotus, and the sand beside it was burned black.
Zhong Michu picked out a few spells from Gu Fuyou's useless talismans and performed them on them.
Finally, Zhong Michu lightly tapped his finger, and a purple lightning blasted behind Gu Fuyou, shocking Gu Fuyou who was in a trance back to his senses.
This is the magic of the talisman that Gu Fuyou is holding in his hand. The talisman that summons thunder is extremely difficult to refine, and it is even more difficult for a cultivator of Gu Fuyou's level.
Gu Fuyou finally realized that Zhong Michu was comforting her. She was actually comforting her? !
To be honest, she has been to Gushen Peak more than a dozen times and feels that Zhong Michu is not a difficult person to get along with. Although Zhong Michu is cold and doesn't like to talk to people, he has never made things difficult for others.
But Zhong Michu is a person who really ignores people. If he can say one sentence, he will never say two sentences. If he can keep silent, he will ignore you.
How could it not be surprising that he took the trouble to comfort her like now
Before Gu Fuyou could fully appreciate the surprise, she realized something else. She leaned back and saw the burnt pit caused by the purple lightning. She asked blankly, "Did you just summon thunder?"
"Um."
Gu Fuyou turned around and looked at Zhong Michu like he was looking at a ghost: "You don't have a mutant lightning root. Logically speaking, you need to have reached the Nascent Soul stage to learn this kind of magic. How come you..."
How do you know lightning magic
Zhong Michu saw what she wanted to ask and replied, "Naturally."
"Naturally..." Gu Fuyou smiled stiffly.
She had no idea how many spirit stones and inner elixirs of spirit beasts she had used to refine the talisman for summoning thunder. She had no idea how many times the furnace had exploded. It took her more than a month to finally obtain such a talisman. Zhong Mi just stretched out her finger and summoned a bolt of thunder.
It was a talent that ordinary people could hardly match, and Gu Fuyou envied her so much.
Zhong Michu's nonchalant words "naturally" made her hate him even more.
Gu Fuyou was a little discouraged by the gap that was like a chasm of heaven's punishment, but it was only for a moment. She suddenly pounced on Zhong Michu, hugged her legs tightly, and shouted: "Ah! I don't care, they are all mine anyway!"
Zhong Michu was shocked. She was calm in the face of those vicious beasts, but now she was horrified: "What did you do again!"
Zhong Michu pushed him a few times, and Gu Fuyou let go.
After all this commotion, Gu Fuyou put the matter of the talisman behind him, gathered his spirits, stood up, straightened his clothes, and looked around. On one side was the sea, and on the other side was the desert, with no end in sight.
Gu Fuyou now only wanted to find his way back to the withered forest, but after being teleported twice, he was dizzy and had no idea where he was.
These formations are all one-way transmission, they only allow coming and not going back. It is impossible to go back the same way. Although the spiritual energy here is rich, it flows extremely slowly. I am afraid there is no transmission formation.
Now we can only take one step at a time and see what happens.
The two could have chosen to go to the sea side or to the desert side.
But Gu Fuyou was a human, not a fish, and could not walk on the sea as if it were flat ground. At least she had two feet that could be used in the desert, so she felt more at ease on land and chose to walk towards the desert.
After Zhong Michu was hugged by her twice in a row, the redness on his face faded away and his expression became very gloomy. He stopped talking to her and did not comment on her decision.
When Gu Fuyou was about to leave, Zhong Michu summoned Geng Chen, took her with him, and went deep into the desert.
I don’t know how long I walked, but the desert still seemed to have no end in sight.
The wind and sand blocked the view from all directions, and the sky and the earth were dim.
Gu Fuyou wanted Zhong Michu to go down and walk for a while.
After all, the crisis in Xianluo is unpredictable, and Zhong Michu is now the strongest combat force. She has to consider reducing her consumption of spiritual power in case of emergency.
But before he could finish his words, Geng Chen suddenly fell down, as if he was sucked by something on the ground.
Caught off guard, Gu Fuyou's body tilted and he almost fell down. In panic, he hugged Zhong Michu's waist from behind.
Zhong Michu couldn't control Geng Chen, and was distracted by Gu Fuyou's hug. Geng Chen jumped out from under her feet and was about to be sucked into the sand. Zhong Michu summoned Geng Chen with her long sleeves, and Geng Chen turned into a sword light and returned to her sleeves.
Without their swords, the two men fell from the air. Zhong Michu used the wind to hold them up, so that they did not fall too badly.
Gu Fuyou was still frightened. He touched his chest and asked, "What happened?"
Zhong Michu stared at her coldly for a while. Gu Fuyou then remembered that Zhong Michu was not used to others being too intimate with her. She had only been here for a short time, but she was hugging her legs and waist. She was glad in her heart that she was not a man, otherwise she would have ended up miserably.
Gu Fuyou felt embarrassed when she looked at him, and stammered, "I almost fell down just now, I just..."
Zhong Michu retracted his gaze and then slowly said, "There seems to be a magnet underground, so it sucked the sword down."
"Now what?"
"The attraction is very strong, and Gengchen is frightened, so he can't fly the sword forward."
Gu Fuyou was very open-minded: "If you can't fly the sword, then you can't fly the sword. I was thinking of telling you to come down for a walk, it's just right."
She spoke frankly and didn't care at all about not being able to fly the sword. Zhong Michu didn't say much about it either, and the two of them changed to walking from then on.
But Gu Fuyou didn't expect that the underground magnet had a very wide range. After walking for a long time, the two still couldn't fly the sword.
The time in Xianluo is different from that outside. Day and night alternate in one day. Here, the sun often does not set for several days, or the stars are in the sky for several days.
Although he was not sure how many days it took, Gu Fuyou felt that it was at least five days.
Because she was empty-bellied and exhausted.
Zhong Michu practiced fasting and was considered to have a semi-immortal body, as she did not need to take grains to maintain her physical strength. However, she was still a mortal body, just stronger than ordinary people, and still got hungry and tired.
But the food in her storage bag had already fallen into another sea area along with the talisman stone.
Without food, Gu Fuyou felt dizzy and hungry. She looked up at the sky. Beyond the yellow dust, the sun was scorching brightly, making her dizzy. Her eyes went dark and she fell to her knees.
Zhong Michu, who was walking in front of her, heard the noise and turned back: "Gu Fuyou?"
Zhong Michu walked up to her. Gu Fuyou raised her head and saw the hand hanging in front of her. It was white, tender and fragrant, like mutton-fat cheese. Zhong Michu was also a water spirit, and he had a clear and refreshing aura all over his body.
Gu Fuyou stared until his eyes were dazzled. When he saw that hand, he thought of the sweet lotus roots in Xiaoyao City. They were sweet and crispy when he took a bite, and the fragrance filled his mouth. He also thought of the pear blossom cheese in Yinxuezhai, which was full of milky aroma and crispy and refreshing.
For some unknown reason, I can't help myself.
Gu Fuyou bit down and grabbed the edge of Zhong Michu's palm.
Zhong Michu: “…”
Gu Fuyou: “…”
