Then, Mu Qinghe turned around and headed in the direction of the whirling lotus.
The boundary between the Phantom Mist Forest and Mirror Lake is clearly defined.
There is a dam-like existence in the middle. On one side is the thick ground of the Phantom Mist Forest filled with fallen leaves, and on the other side is the Mirror Lake with its gleaming water.
Surprisingly, the isolating dam was only an inch long, but none of the leaves on the side of the Phantom Mist Forest flew to the opposite lake, and the waves generated by the lake would not cross the dam and reach the other side.
There seems to be an invisible barrier in the middle, clearly separating the two sides.
Mu Qinghe soon arrived at the narrow embankment.
He took a deep breath, turned around the force in his body, and flicked his right hand!
A long sword flew out! Floating in front of him!
Mu Qinghe jumped up and stood on the flying sword!
Just as he was about to move forward with his sword, he accidentally glanced out of the corner of his eye and noticed something sparkling on the nearby lake.
He squinted his eyes, looked at it, and immediately froze on the spot.
Because that sparkling thing is actually an ice floe!
The afterglow of the setting sun shines on it, and the clear and clean glass-like floating ice reflects this bright and dazzling light.
Mirror Lake is vast and boundless, bordered by the Phantom Mist Forest and the Red Moon Desert. The water is rippling like spring and summer all year round.
How could such an ice floe suddenly appear
"Vice General Mu, what's the problem?"
Shangguan Wan saw that Mu Qinghe was hesitant and couldn't help but urge him.
Mu Qinghe did not respond immediately, but looked around.
Sure enough, not far away, I saw another ice floe!
These ice floes float quietly on the lake surface, inconspicuously.
If it weren't for the fact that Mu Qinghe was standing in the sky at this time and the afterglow was shining on him, he would never have been able to detect it.
People like Shangguan Wan failed to see this strange situation.
Mu Qinghe felt a little uneasy in his heart.
"There is something strange about this Mirror Lake."
Shangguan Wan frowned.
"What's weird?"
Mu Qinghe raised his hand and pointed.
"There have never been floating ice before in Mirror Lake."
Shangguan Wan saw Mu Qinghe's serious expression and thought something big had happened.
Unexpectedly, just because of one or two ice floes
She laughed and said softly:
"It's just two ice floes. It shouldn't be important, right? If Vice Admiral Mu is really worried, why not get the Whirling Lotus back as soon as possible and let's leave immediately, right?"
Mu Qinghe frowned even more tightly.
"The third princess may not know something. This Mirror Lake has always looked like this for many years. It has never been like this before. I'm afraid there is something strange. To ensure safety, it is best for everyone to evacuate immediately."
Shangguan Wan was stunned:
"Evacuate immediately? What about Whispering Lotus?"
We finally met, how could we just leave like this
What do you say about returning to Xiling
Also, her original bloodline.
"Vice General Mu, I think you are a little too worried. I know that you have been in the Great Wasteland for several years and know this place very well. But how many years has Mirror Lake existed? Do you dare to say that from the day it existed, Is it like this? Or maybe before you knew it, a similar scene had already appeared in it. What do you think?"
Mu Qinghe couldn't refute what he said.
Shangguan Wan was determined to take away the whirling lotus.
"If Vice Admiral Mu is really worried, how about asking Elder Qiuxi to come with him?"
When Elder Qiuxi heard this, instead of feeling any fear or worry, he looked excited.
"The third princess has orders, and I will naturally obey them."
Being able to retrieve the Whispering Lotus is undoubtedly a great achievement!
Moreover, this kind of rare treasure of heaven, material and earth is extremely precious.
Even just touching it may bring a lot of benefits!
As for the danger
There is nothing here except the lake, and it is not as intricate as the Phantom Mist Forest.
Even if you really encounter any danger, you can just run away and come back. How dangerous can it be
Shangguan Wan nodded:
"Then it will be the hard work of Elder Qiuxi and Vice General Mu."
Elder Qiuxi responded and quickly rushed to Mu Qinghe.
Mu Qinghe glanced at him.
Since he himself is seeking death, there is nothing to persuade him.
"Vice General Mu, please—"
Elder Qiuxi raised his hand.
Mu Qinghe didn't say anything more, walked with his sword and continued to move forward.
Elder Qiuxi followed closely behind, his eyes already firmly fixed on the whirling lotus in the center of the lake in the distance.
Mu Qinghe looked down from time to time, his expression gradually condensing.
Because he discovered that there were more than just those two ice floes on the lake!
The further you go to the middle, the more ice floes there are!
And gradually they converged and connected together, forming a large area of ice.
And the translucent whirling lotus was surrounded by ice.
Mu Qinghe stopped.
Elder Qiuxi also stopped immediately:
"Vice General Mu, why don't you keep going forward? The Whirling Lotus is right in front of you, and you can get it back soon!"
Mu Qinghe's face seemed to be covered with a layer of frost.
There is definitely something wrong with this Mirror Lake!
He has been to Mirror Lake many times, and whenever he gets close, he encounters various critical situations.
But this time, Jinghu Lake was too peaceful.
Instead of making him feel at ease, this made him even more uneasy.
When something goes wrong, there must be a monster!
"Since Elder Qiuxi is so eager for Whirling Lotus, why don't you take the first step."
Elder Qiuxi was immediately frightened.
His eyes wandered back and forth between Mu Qinghe and Po Sa Lian, endlessly tangled.
He really wanted to retrieve the Whispering Lotus, but he was also really afraid that something would happen.
Mu Qinghe's reaction really didn't make people feel at ease.
Seeing that both of them stopped, Shangguan Wan couldn't help but urge again.
Elder Qiuxi was heartbroken.
Anyway, so many people are here, what’s there to worry about
If he retrieved the Whirling Lotus, his status would definitely rise after returning to Xiling!
Thinking of this, the balance in his heart finally tilted towards the desire side.
He passed Mu Qinghe and moved forward.
However, he was not stupid and did not directly take it with his hands.
Treasures like this are definitely not that easy to obtain.
He waved his sleeves and threw out a rope as thick as his thumb, which was wrapped around the branches of the whirling lotus.
Wait for a while, nothing unusual.
Elder Qiuxi felt more confident and pulled his wrist back, trying to pull the Whispering Lotus out directly.
However, as soon as he moved, the rope actually slipped down the branch.
Elder Qiuxi pounced in vain.
He looked up in astonishment, only to find that the branch was extremely smooth, with a touch of water on it, and it was indeed difficult to tie it down with a rope.
He thought for a moment and placed a layer of barrier around himself. At the same time, he put away the rope and used a long sword instead.
He got closer step by step, and finally raised his sword to kill!
However, just as the sword touched the branch, it actually slipped!
Before Elder Qiuxi had time to react, his body was pulled down by an invisible force!
Plop!
Directly penetrated the ice and fell into the lake!
Half past six~
February is already wasted. Woohoo.
