In the Anze River area where the wind is howling, as dusk approaches, the already thin sky becomes dimmer, and the wind is mixed with the sound of ghost cries. On the edge of a wide body of water, a beautiful woman is sitting on the ground, moving around the sky, with smoke beside her. Xia Surrounded, it was Dong Mengyao. Yue Wen who had just returned from folding a long and thick wooden stick, and was taking out a bundle of rope from Storage Magic Artifact.
Because I came to Wasteland Zone to survive, I brought some basic lighters, dry food, and ropes. Although I guessed that it might be useful before coming, I never thought that it would be used in this way.
Yue Wen tied one end of the rope to a long wooden stick and the other end to Xiao Chubai who was unconscious on the ground.
"Brother Xiao, just give it a try with me. Anyway... idle time is idle."
"Na."
"If you don't say anything, I'll take it as your default."
"Don't worry, I will protect you with my life."
He muttered in his mouth, and after finishing the preparations, he dragged the wooden stick to the water's edge, looked at the rippling shadows of the water below, waved his hand... and threw Xiao Chubai completely!
From a distance, Yue Wen is like holding a thick and long fishing rod, and Xiao Chubai is the super-large fishing bait on the rod!
Poof.
As soon as his feet touched the water, a cloud of Yin Qi burst out! Whoosh!
Yue Wen and Spiritual Sense immediately sensed that the cold air in the originally calm water suddenly hit like a storm and exploded. He immediately flicked his wrist, pulled Xiao Chubai back, and threw it to the shore.
When the figure was pulled into the air with water drops, two or three ferocious and eager shadows jumped out!
"Roar"
The so-called water ghost is the Nightmare Object generated by the residual fear, unwillingness and resentment of a creature after falling into the water, combined with the spiritual energy. Because water is naturally prone to accumulating Yin energy, the probability of Nightmare Object being generated underwater is higher than on the shore. Large. And many Nightmare Objects with insufficient strength cannot leave the main body too far. Since the corpse is under the water, they can only be trapped in this cold and dark place. They must use the body to escape. Therefore, they hide their aura and hide under the water, waiting for creatures to fall.
Just as Luo Bawen said, Xiao Chubai's feet only touched the water slightly, and it attracted several impatient Nightmare Object.
One is a beast whose appearance cannot be seen, with wet black fur all over its body and sharp fangs; one is a large flying bird with half a wing missing, half of its body is as tall as a man when it flutters out; and there is a water ghost, vaguely human-shaped, but with naked blue skin and a pair of pointed ears, it looks like a monster...
However, their common characteristic is that they are not very powerful.
A strong person would not be trapped underwater, just waiting to be picked up by a useless person. That Shadow Nightmare is considered the top evil spirit in this water area.
If there was a powerful evil spirit here, Yue Wen would naturally not be able to take risks with Xiao Chubai... even he himself would not go near the water.
Yue Wen quickly pulled up Xiao Chubai's body with his left hand, flicked two fingers of his right hand, and the sword light struck out, drawing a sharp arc, and three Nightmare Object exploded one after another.
As they turned into a black mist and dissipated, Yue Wen also successfully collected a wave of Demon Suppressing Coin.
"It's feasible." His eyes lit up.
With this simple little cooperation with Xiao Chubai, three Nightmare Object took the bait. Yue Wen immediately changed positions, repeated the same trick, and threw the rope down again.
Puff puff puff
The Yin Qi here was even stronger. As soon as Xiao Chubai's legs were immersed, the water surface seemed to be boiling, exploding a series of bubbles! Yue Wen reacted very quickly and pulled him up immediately.
There was a splashing sound as the water broke, and a huge black fish head emerged from the water. Its eyes glowed fiercely, and its huge open mouth was filled with sharp teeth.
Is it a monster this time?
But the next second, what was even more shocking was that there was no body under the fish's head! When I got out, I discovered that there was a horrific wound from the fish's head to its neck, with only one head flying out.
Sword Control Art penetrated instantly, opening up a big hole on the fish head!
But at this point, the fish demon was not dead yet. Yue Wen did not feel the appearance of Demon Suppressing Coin. He immediately made a fierce move, pulled Flying Sword back with his backhand, penetrated the fish head again, and then poured in Gangqi, and the sword light suddenly exploded.
Boom
It wasn't until the sword energy exploded and the fish head was crushed into powder that he felt the golden smoke entering his body.
This vast body of water is truly full of wonders. Although this fish monster is not very powerful, its vitality is terrifyingly strong. It is not enough if only one head is left, and it has to be completely blown to pieces before it can be killed.
But in order to protect the safety of Xiao Chubai, Yue Wen will never let it go.
As soon as the fish monster died, some flesh and blood residue fell into the water, which immediately caused a chaos. Nightmare Object, which absorbed the death energy, collided with the monsters competing for flesh and blood. They didn't even need to be seduced by Yue Wen, they started making trouble on their own.
Good opportunity.
Go, Brother Xiao!
Yue Wen Seeing the evil spirits gathering below, he immediately swung the rope, and Xiao Chubai with a strange aura passed by in a flash.
"Roar" suddenly felt more evil spirits, and he jumped up and wanted to pounce on food!
Xun Sword True Art blessed Sword Control Art, shuttled back and forth in mid-air, and killed a bunch of evil spirits in the blink of an eye, looking like a dragon in the cold light of night! Yue Wen waved his fingers menacingly, mobilizing the sword's edge, and his eyes were filled with murderous intent.
Anyone who wants to harm my teammates will be killed no matter how far away!
Ouch!
Die!
I will use my life to protect Brother Xiao. If he sheds a tear, I will kill a river!
Almost an hour later, Luo Bawen and Fat Auntie returned safely. They must have experienced some minor battles. Their clothes were slightly dirty, but they did not suffer any injuries.
"We have gathered Xiang Yinmu, and we can help him drive out Shadow Nightmare." They shouted to the three young people waiting there.
Yue Wen, who was standing there on guard, came up to him immediately, and Dong Mengyao, who was doing his exercises on the spot, also slowly opened his eyes. Only Xiao Chubai, who was lying on the ground, suddenly coughed up a mouthful of water.
Yue Wen had used Zhenqi to steam dry the wet areas on his body, but he didn't notice when he choked on the water.
"Huh?" Luo Bawen wondered, "He was just being possessed by Shadow Nightmare, and he didn't fall into the water. How could he choke? Mo..."
He looked around cautiously, wondering if there was any new evil spirit here.
"I just fed him." Yue Wen was afraid that he would think too much, so he quickly said, "I just saw that his mouth was dry and he thought he might be tired from fighting Shadow Nightmare, so I gave him some water."
"You are really a considerate person." Dong Mengyao said softly from the side.
"Oh." Yue Wen smiled sheepishly, "Brother Xiao and I are fighting side by side, so I should be nice to him."
Immediately, Luo Bawen and Fat Auntie took out several large bundles of Xiangyin wood from Storage Magic Artifact, stacked them in one place, built a firewood pile, and then put Xiao Chubai on top.
"This... won't it burn?" Yue Wen looked at this scene with a little doubt.
This seems to be a cremation posture?
"The fire in the Xiangyin wood only burns the Yin souls Nightmare Object, not the living people." Luo Bawen replied, and then lit the firewood below.
Sure enough, the firewood pile caught fire, and soon turned into a raging purple-black fire that surrounded Xiao Chubai. But even so, there were no signs of burning on the corners of his clothes, let alone burns.
Instead, black smoke suddenly began to emit from Xiao Chubai's body, and a ghostly howl and scream came out that did not belong to him.
"Ah"
As the flames became more intense, the black smoke finally couldn't bear it any longer and exploded with a cry of pain.
Xiao Chubai's eyes also opened.
"Am I still alive?" He sat up suddenly, looked around, then looked at the fire under him and the people in front of him, "You... saved me?" "Thanks to the two seniors." Yue Wen said, "They specially found Xiang Yinmu and burned Shadow Nightmare to death."
This time he really realized the importance of experience. If Luo Bawen and Fat Auntie were not here, then Xiao Chubai could only rely on his own soul to fight against Shadow Nightmare. Once he failed, he would be dead and his body would be taken away.
But with these experienced older generation practitioners here, Xiao Chubai was easily rescued.
Dong Mengyao said, "Just now I was doing exercises and adjusting my breath, and Yue Wen was watching over you all by myself, and he worked very hard."
She looked at Yue Wen's face and found that he was obviously a little more tired than an hour ago. It seemed that being on guard here alone was very tiring.
"So that's it." Xiao Chubai learned what had just happened, and his memory slowly recovered, but he was still in a daze. He held his head with both hands, "I just felt like something was suddenly squeezed out of the palace, and I couldn't move at all. I wanted to drive it out, but I couldn't do it for the time being. We have been fighting. In the chaos, I should I must have been dreaming about my mother... because I felt like someone had been washing my feet, again and again... There was also the faint sound of water and the strange scream of Nightmare Object, which should have been brought by Shadow Nightmare... Then there was a raging fire burning my shrine, making me wake up."
"Cheer up and stop thinking about those unhappy things." Yue Wen quickly patted him on the shoulder.
Xiao Chubai looked up at Yue Wen and nodded gratefully.
His performance along the way was completely suppressed by Yue Wen. He was always unconvinced and wanted to compete with him. Even when he was on the single-plank bridge just now, he was thinking that as long as he was more difficult to imitate than Yue Wen's movements, it would be fine if he didn't become the target of Shadow Nightmare...
But the other party never cared about him. He didn't blame himself in the Tree Demon valley. He had been taking care of himself just now. It was said that he even fed himself water when he was unconscious...
Alas.
It seems that I am still too immature.
After experiencing a life-and-death ordeal, Xiao Chubai's state of mind also changed. He was no longer so unruly and confident, and became somewhat honest.
Xiao Chubai first said to Luo Bawen and Fat Auntie: "The two seniors saved my life this time. They are a great kindness and will be remembered in my heart." "Nothing to talk about." Fat Auntie waved his hand, "Didn't we say it before? Since we are here in a team, it is fate. We must help each other if we can."
Xiao Chubai looked at Yue Wen again, "Brother Yue, I will also remember your kindness in caring for you."
"Then I won't dare to take it anymore." Yue Wen smiled and said, "Actually, I didn't do anything."
After saying that, Xiao Chubai stood up and suddenly felt a little rough under his feet.
He leaned over and took out a small river crab from his shoe.
Xiao Chubai: "Huh?"
Yue Wen grabbed his hand, knocked the little river crab out of his hand, and pulled him up, "Brother Xiao, welcome back to the team, let's move forward together!"
"I..." Xiao Chubai was slightly moved, and without caring about anything else, he immediately nodded and said, "I will definitely not hold you back anymore!"
