The boat sank without any warning, without being attacked or making any abnormal noise. The Inferi on the boat sank to the bottom of the lake along with it.
Watching the Blood Rose disappear into the lake, Zhang Yuanqing felt heartbroken.
This Inferi has been with him for the longest time, from being a companion of a mortal to a saint. Although he has always regarded her as a consumable, when Blood Rose really left him, he still felt a strong reluctance in his heart.
But now is not the time to grieve over the loss.
"how so?"
Zhang Yuanqing looked at Princess Yinyao in astonishment. The latter shook his head, and a hesitant voice came from the small speaker:
"It sank for no reason, and nothing unusual was found."
How could this happen? Zhang Yuanqing frowned and fell into deep thought.
Isn't crossing the water by boat the right choice? The Inferi can't cross the water? The boat suddenly leaked?
There are too many possibilities, and things suddenly become difficult.
Just when I was puzzled, something suddenly floated up on the lake. I looked closely and saw that it was the small boat that had sunk to the bottom of the lake.
The boat with its two ends slightly tilted floated up again, but Blood Rose was no longer on the boat.
This makes it look as if the boat sank intentionally, killing the people on board.
Zhang Yuanqing's face changed: "No, the way to cross the river by boat is wrong. This lake has rules. It's not just a matter of boarding the boat. We need to know what the rules are."
First of all, you can make sure that the boat can float on the lake.
The choice of using a boat to cross the lake should be correct, but it is missing key information, namely the rules.
"But how do we know the rules?" Princess Yinyao was a little confused, "There is no record in the employee handbook, and we don't have much time."
Zhang Yuanqing said in his heart, Princess, Princess, you still want to increase my anxiety at this time, what's the use of you.
But I have to admit that the princess is right, there is not much time.
The dog elder may return at any time, and so does the female marshal. The most fatal thing is that it will not take long to stop the killing of the palace master. Once the white lion returns, they can only escape.
The rescue operation failed.
We have come to this point, and if we fall short, Zhang Yuanqing feels that he will be angry and vomit blood.
We must find a way to figure out the rules of Weakwater Lake.
However, the rules of Ruoshui Lake were not recorded in the employee handbook, and the second half of the handbook was not found even after searching the dormitory.
The Yata Mirror skill is on cooldown, unable to create a clone, and the Blood Rose is gone.
Treating the Greedy God General as cannon fodder is undoubtedly a prodigal act, and it may not be possible to figure out the correct rules at once.
They no longer have low-level Inferi to act as cannon fodder to figure out the rules, and Weak Water is too dangerous and has almost no room for error.
Where else can I get the rules?
Suddenly, an idea flashed in Zhang Yuanqing's mind. There is no employee handbook, but the employees do.
Why not ask the staff?
The staff at the zoo are extremely eager to help visitors.
"Looking for employees, let's find employees." Zhang Yuanqing perked up and looked at Princess Yinyao, "The employees will tell us the rules of Ruoshui Lake."
The two of them returned along the way they came.
The Demon Eye King in the middle of the lake couldn't help but frown as he watched the two figures on the shore quickly leave and disappear into the dark night.
"Something's wrong, why did the ship sink?" He raised his head and looked at the lush tree crown above his head: "Old tree demon, do you know."
The camphor tree shook its branches and leaves.
"You said that Elder Dog will be back soon. Do you want me not to be proud?" Demon Eye King raised his lips, "When you are out of trouble, I will take you to the northwest Gobi and plant you in a place where Shura retreats."
The tree crown trembled for a while.
There were no Killing Palace Masters or White Lions seen along the way, but the signs of the fight were very obvious. Overturned trees fell down in various directions, shrubs were stripped bare, and fallen leaves were scattered in disorder, covering the viewing passage.
The battle was getting a bit fierce, so Zhang Yuanqing quickened his pace.
Finally, on the way to the monkey park through the panda park, they saw an employee in blue uniform walking from the direction of the monkey park.
The employee in blue uniform ignored the signs of fighting along the way and patrolled in an orderly manner.
The employee patrols seemed to only focus on weirdness and pollution, and were not responsible for fighting. Zhang Yuanqing thought as he stepped forward to meet them.
Seeing the tourists running towards him, the man in blue uniform asked a mechanized question:
"Excuse me, do you need help?"
Zhang Yuanqing responded in a deep voice: "Yes, I need it."
At this moment, the employee in blue uniform couldn't help but raise his peaked cap a few centimeters, and his tone became more human, as he said urgently:
"Excuse me, how can I help you? Excuse me, what can I help you!"
If I say, can you help me rescue the Demon Eye, will this guy turn around and leave? This thought flashed through Zhang Yuanqing's mind, and he decided to take the lead and said:
"Please tell me the rules of Weakwater Lake."
The employee in blue uniform was silent, as if he had never encountered a tourist asking about the rules. After about four or five seconds, he said:
"The small boat on the lake will take you to the center of the lake, but the small boat can only hold one person."
The words of the employee in blue uniform made Zhang Yuanqing's expression change suddenly. He understood why the Blood Rose sank to the bottom of the lake.
There was not only Blood Rose on the boat at that time, but something followed Blood Rose on board.
Neither he nor the Palace Master of Zhizhi Palace found out
Zhang Yuanqing felt a little cold on his back, and an unspeakable chill surged into his heart.
It's like the protagonist in a horror story returns home, enjoys the dinner cooked by his family, and is harmonious with his wife and children, only to wake up the next day and remember that his wife and children have been dead for many years.
Something had been following them, and neither he nor the palace owner noticed it from beginning to end.
The employee in blue uniform asked expectantly: "Excuse me, do you still need help?"
Zhang Yuanqing composed himself and said: "No, thank you."
The employee in blue uniform was a little disappointed and looked at Princess Yinyao: "Excuse me, do you need help?"
Princess Yinyao raised her trumpet: "No."
The employees in blue uniforms left disappointed.
As soon as he left, Zhang Yuanqing immediately said: "There is something following us!"
Princess Yinyao looked around, her red eyes emitting a strange light.
But no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't find the third person.
A sense of powerlessness and fear fermented in the princess' heart.
Zhang Yuanqing took out the ghost mirror and looked around, but couldn't find anything suspicious. He immediately used Soul Devouring, but still found nothing.
It would have been better if we had brought the mirror that hung in the underground palace of the First Emperor. That mirror could reflect night wanderings and was much more powerful than the ghost mirror in terms of "reflecting ghosts".
"Unknown enemy, we have encountered an unknown enemy." A rapid voice came from Princess Yinyao's small speaker:
"Yuanshi Tianzun, my suggestion is to leave here immediately. It must have noticed that we have discovered it. If you continue to stay here, it may cause some unknown changes.
"And we can't even detect it, let alone remove it. Give up on saving the Eye."
This is her advice after weighing the pros and cons.
Now that I have figured out the rules, I am faced with a more difficult problem, and I don’t know how many things will go wrong in the process of solving this problem.
There is less time left for them than for the national football team.
too difficult.
"Don't be anxious, don't be anxious, give me another half minute," Zhang Yuanqing said repeatedly.
The strange fear that followed him around made him unable to calm down and think, and there was not much time left. For a moment, sweat broke out on his forehead.
In anxiety, he raised his hand and pressed his forehead with his fingers. A milky white halo lit up and spread across his face like water.
Soon, Zhang Yuanqing's face turned into the cunning and cunning white face in the drama.
Princess Yinyao knew that a white face symbolized thinking, so she stood aside silently with her hands folded, not daring to disturb her.
——Of all the women Zhang Yuanqing knows, Princess Yao knows him best and knows almost all his props.
Time passed quickly. About half a minute later, Zhang Yuanqing removed his facial makeup and sneered:
"I figured out a way."
Under the influence of the cost of props, his mood became moody.
"any solution?"
Princess Yinyao asked hurriedly.
Zhang Yuanqing turned around and strode back, saying as he walked:
"Remember what is said in the fourth and ninth rules? Pandas are respectable animals and must bow; when meeting colleagues in black uniforms, they must shout loudly to attract managers and other colleagues.
“But if managers and colleagues don’t respond, you can ask pandas and white lions for help.
"It can be seen that pandas have a positive image. I even suspect that the reason why you see pandas being vicious is precisely because that guy is following you. The panda is not staring at you, but at the strange things around you."
Princess Yinyao instinctively reached out and touched her back.
They were already between the Panda Park and the Monkey Park. They jogged forward and arrived at the Panda Park in ten seconds.
Through the high iron fence, Zhang Yuanqing once again saw the lazy and dirty panda. It had woken up and was gnawing on the tender bamboo. Its fine teeth were skillfully peeling off the outer green skin of the bamboo.
, feasting.
"Turn in, don't use skills." Zhang Yuanqing said.
——During the zoo operation, he had asked Ikawa Mei to maintain the illusion to ensure that the clothing characteristics of his own personnel would not be recorded by the plants.
One person and one corpse jumped over the high iron fence and landed lightly.
As if hearing the movement, the giant panda, which was squatting in the bamboo forest eating, tilted its head and looked over.
Princess Yinyao seemed to be frightened and subconsciously leaned towards Zhang Yuanqing. A trembling voice came from the small speaker:
"It, it's the same as last time"
Is something weird happening next to Princess Yinyao? Zhang Yuanqing pulled her out from behind and pushed her forward gently, "Go over and remember to bow."
Princess Yinyao held the small trumpet tightly, hesitated for a while, gritted her teeth, and strode over.
She came outside the small bamboo forest and bowed deeply to the panda.
At this time, the chubby panda dropped the bamboo and walked slowly towards Princess Yinyao with steady and powerful steps.
Its dark eyes were somewhat solemn, and it began to circle around Princess Yinyao.
With each turn, its expression became more ferocious, and after three turns, it was grinning in an extremely ferocious manner.
Zhang Yuanqing noticed that Princess Yinyao's legs began to weaken, and her scarlet eyes trembled continuously.
The panda that the princess perceived was different from what he saw, and she was under tremendous pressure.
"Don't move!" Zhang Yuanqing reminded loudly, "If you can't bear it, I can control your body."
As soon as he finished speaking, the ferocious panda suddenly pounced on Princess Yinyao, opened its sharp canine teeth, bit Princess Yinyao's snow-white neck, and then fatally shook her head.
"Chichi."
Princess Yinyao heard the sound of cold water being poured into the oil pan, and large plumes of thick black smoke evaporated.
The black smoke did not dissipate, but turned into a terrifying human face in mid-air. It looked down at the pandas unwillingly for a moment, and then fled to the outer area of the zoo.
The panda let go of its mouth, abandoned Princess Yinyao like a pair of worn-out shoes, walked back to its original position with lazy steps, picked up the uneaten bamboo, and started chewing it with concentration.
Phew, it's done. Zhang Yuanqing hurriedly stepped forward to check and found that Princess Yinyao's neck was intact, with only two rows of shallow teeth marks.
The panda's attack was not directed at her.
But Princess Yinyao seemed to have a strong psychological shadow on the panda, and quickly retreated. The small speaker urged: "Leave quickly."
One person and one corpse were dug out of the panda garden, and only then did they have time to discuss the black smoke just now:
"What it is?"
"The weirdness in the garden."
"I know, what's the essence of it?"
"Although I live hundreds of years longer than you, I don't know."
"Oh, forget it"
Trotting back to Weishui Lake, at this time, the small boat had returned to the shore on its own and was floating quietly on the lake.
According to the rules of the ferry, I must "spit out" my spiritual servant first to ensure that I can board the boat alone, but my soul is incomplete and the palace master has spun the thread with his soul. Does this count as one person or two people?
Zhang Yuanqing was a little unsure.
In this case, he could only let the Infernal Corpse take action, so he looked at Princess Yinyao.
Princess Yinyao pretends to be a brainless inferi.
Princess, your professionalism needs to be improved. I will write an employee manual for you later. The title will be "How to Charge for the Master" or "How to Better Please the Master". Zhang Yuanqing said angrily:
"Are you going by yourself, or should I take control of your body?"
Princess Yinyao silently walked to the boat, and complained in a low voice through the small speaker: "Men are indeed ruthless. One moment, they were so kind to her, and the next moment they gave her Bai Ling and poisonous wine."
She jumped onto the boat with a bang, carefully folded the horn, stuffed it into her pocket, and started paddling.
The boat broke through the calm water and sailed on the wrinkled lake. When it passed the place where Blood Rose sank, Zhang Yuanqing felt the tension of Princess Yinyao through the mark of the sea of consciousness.
When the boat passed by there without incident, the princess's nervousness turned into a little joy.
Finally, the boat arrived at the camphor tree.
Zhang Yuanqing saw Princess Yinyao take out a small speaker and start a conversation with the magic eye, but they were too far away to hear the specific content.
But not long after, Princess Yinyao put away the trumpet, and sharp black nails sprouted from her ten fingers, piercing deeply into the thick trunk of the camphor tree.
She tore open the bark and the inner fibers like tearing paper, making a huge noise that even Zhang Yuanqing on the shore could hear clearly.
Sawdust flew everywhere and bark peeled off.
The body of Demon Eye inside the tree trunk was gradually exposed, and in less than ten seconds, Demon Eye's skinny body broke free from the trunk.
He was naked, with his skin covering his bones, like a terminally ill cancer patient.
However, he was still strong and vigorous. He broke free from the trunk, grabbed two vines, stepped on the torn inner cavity of the trunk, and stood firmly.
Princess Yinyao began to return home.
I don’t know what the magic eye said to the camphor tree. A few seconds later, the camphor tree standing on the lake began to move and moved towards the shore.
Hurry up, hurry up, Zhang Yuanqing prayed silently in his heart.
At this time, he felt more and more uneasy, fearing that Elder Dog's voice would come out from behind and say: You little kid!
Or the sneer of the female marshal: It turns out that my brother has raised a domestic thief.
Or maybe the white lion has killed the palace owner and is slowly approaching him, preparing to kill him with a chokehold.
Fortunately, none of this happened, Princess Yinyao and Demon Eye landed successfully.
The Demon Eye King grabbed the vine and gently swung to the shore. He looked at Zhang Yuanqing and raised the corners of his mouth:
"Well done, Ghost Sword King."
After not seeing each other for several months, his smile was as bright as the first time we met.
Zhang Yuanqing instantly understood what the other party meant, nodded and said:
"What did you just say to it?"
The Demon Eye King smiled and said:
"I told it that if it took me back to the shore, I would spare it once and not take it back to the Bishop's headquarters.
"Oh, actually as long as it stays in the lake, I can't do anything with it. The boat can carry one person."
Hearing this, the camphor tree shook violently, seeming extremely angry.
It doesn't look very smart... Zhang Yuanqing urged:
"The Marshal of the White Tiger Soldiers and Elder Dog will be back soon, let's go!"
Just when he was about to run away, a roar of extreme rage suddenly came from him.
Looking around, he saw the palace owner, covered in blood, running back in panic.
Behind her, the majestic white lion is chasing after her.
