Ning Cheng didn't have time to think about it and jumped directly into the lake. He didn't even have time to ask Yin Kongchan what the reason was. He was afraid that Xu Yingdie couldn't swim and the lake was very deep.
From the time Xu Yingdie disappeared on the lake to Ning Cheng jumping off, it only took one or two breaths.
Yin Kongchan stared blankly at Ning Cheng jumping into the lake. It took her a while to realize that Ning Cheng didn't ask her for the specific reason. She sighed. If it were her, even if she wanted to go down to save people, she would have to do it.
First ask what's going on.
She knew that Ning Cheng was not a good person, but she also understood why Ning Cheng was eager to save Xu Yingdie. Xu Yingdie should have finally influenced him, but he hadn't noticed it yet.
The Burning Shou Dan burns life to save Ning Cheng. Before, he cut his wrists and bleeds to feed Ning Cheng, and there is no room for change in the three words "I help you"...
Some things may seem absurd to others, but when applied to people like Ning Cheng, they are really suitable. What she said to Ning Cheng before was completely wrong. She said before that Xu Yingdie cut her wrists to bleed to save Ning Cheng.
It's because she doesn't understand Ning Cheng. Now it seems that Xu Yingdie doesn't understand Ning Cheng, but she understands Ning Cheng too well. It's just because she and Xu Yingdie stand from different angles, so they see the problem differently.
This seemingly stupid thing left more and more traces in Ning Cheng's heart, or even Ning Cheng himself was not aware of it. Yin Kongchan suddenly thought, if she had been dragged into the bottom of the lake just now, would Ning Cheng have
Do you not ask anything and jump in immediately to rescue? Or do you ask questions first and then find a way to rescue? Or do you not rescue at all?
As soon as Ning Cheng jumped into the water, he immediately understood what was going on. A strip-like thing stretched out and wrapped around his leg. Before he could react, another strip-like thing wrapped around his leg.
Ning Cheng pulled out the three-pointed thorns from his calf without hesitation and cut off the strap that was wrapped around him. The thing that wrapped around Ning Cheng seemed to be afraid of pain. After Ning Cheng cut off one of them, the rest
He immediately took it back quickly.
Knowing that these kelp-like algae were causing the trouble, Ning Cheng felt relieved. He quickly increased his speed and soon reached the bottom of the lake. At the same time, he caught Xu Yingdie, who had been dragged down by the algae.
Xu Yingdie was hurriedly grabbing around when she suddenly caught Ning Cheng's hand and immediately grabbed it back.
Ning Cheng was shocked. Once Xu Yingdie caught him, he would have no way to help Xu Yingdie cut off the algae on his body, and even himself would be in danger.
Just when Ning Cheng wanted to avoid Xu Yingdie, Xu Yingdie seemed to feel that it was Ning Cheng, and she actually let go of her hand. Ning Cheng felt relieved and moved the triangular thorn in his hand several times.
The algae wrapped around Xu Yingdie's body immediately receded, and soon Xu Yingdie's body was completely empty. Ning Cheng grabbed Xu Yingdie and quickly brought her to the lake.
Yin Kongchan, who was extremely nervous by the lake, breathed a sigh of relief when she saw Ning Cheng coming up with Xu Yingdie. She quickly stepped forward to help.
After Xu Yingdie came ashore, she quickly stood aside and vomited out several mouthfuls of water. Then she looked at Ning Cheng softly and said, "Thank you."
"It's just about helping each other. You've helped me before..." Ning Cheng's words stopped abruptly.
Because he was busy rescuing people, he didn't pay attention to it before. At this time, Xu Yingdie's clothes were all stuck to her body. Under the bright moonlight, her curves were clearly highlighted, which made Ning Cheng, who had been practicing the magic skill of holding the sun, feel...
His tongue was dry. He subconsciously glanced at Yin Kongchan again, who was exactly the same as Xu Yingdie.
When Yin Kongchan saw Ning Cheng's gaze, she was not shy at all. She just looked at Xu Yingdie and said, "You said you wanted to help him. Just do it. I'll pretend you didn't see it."
Xu Yingdie still looked at Ning Cheng as clear as water, and the tenderness in her eyes almost melted people. It was obvious that she didn't mind what Yin Kongchan said just now.
Ning Cheng coughed, picked up half of the algae he had just brought out, and changed the topic and said, "I don't know what this thing is that can actively entangle people."
Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie both shook their heads, neither of them recognized this kind of algae.
"I want to go down and have a look. I feel like this algae seems to be of some use." Ning Cheng raised half of the algae in his hand and said.
Hearing that Ning Cheng wanted to go down, Xu Yingdie hurriedly said, "You'd better not go down. I feel like there's something weird in this lake."
Yin Kongchan also said, "If you don't wait until the daytime tomorrow and take a look, there are indeed a lot of weird things at night."
Ning Cheng felt the same way. Even if he wanted to go down to see, there was no need to go down now.
After experiencing this incident, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie no longer dared to rush into the lake, but just washed themselves by the lake.
After the three people finished cleaning, Ning Cheng cut down some Populus euphratica branches with three-sided thorns and built a temporary tent. The tent was not small, and even if the three of them could rest, there was still a large space available.
…
In the early morning of the next day, Ning Cheng was awakened by the noise. When he opened his eyes, he found that Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan beside him had also woken up at the same time.
The tent Ning Cheng set up was not small, and there was no need for the three of them to sleep together like this. Moreover, Ning Cheng also knew that Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan would take turns to stand guard, so why did they fall asleep now? And they dared to squeeze in next to him.
Sleep next to you?
"There are ghosts in this lake, we dare not stay outside." Yin Kongchan said quickly when she saw Ning Cheng looking at them in confusion.
"We'll talk about this later. There's a lot of noise outside. It seems like a lot of people are coming. Let's go out and have a look." Ning Cheng said and already walked out of the tent.
As expected, many people came outside, seven men and women in total. In addition, there were two beast carts.
These people are completely different from the two men who were short of water in the desert before. Except for some sand and dust on their bodies, they are all full of energy and look no different from ordinary people.
At this time, these seven people were surrounding Ning Cheng's tent, seemingly waiting for the three Ning Chengs to come out.
The leader was a dark-skinned man with small eyes, who looked like a very shrewd person.
He seemed a little surprised when he saw Ning Cheng coming out of the tent with Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie. When he saw Xu Yingdie and Yin Kongchan again, his eyes even showed shock.
Because Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie had taken a bath and re-washed their clothes, they regained their original beautiful appearance.
When Ning Cheng saw these people, he immediately stopped. He was ready to pull out the three-pointed thorn at any time, but the other party did not do what Ning Cheng thought.
The small-eyed man at the head stepped forward very politely and asked: "Are you guys here too looking for Zaogensuji?"
Zaoyuansuji? Ning Cheng didn’t know what Zaoyuansuji was at all, so he had to say, “We are not looking for Zaoyuansuji. We just strayed into the desert and accidentally lost our way. How long does it take to walk from here?
?”
Hearing that the three people from Ning Cheng were not here to look for Zaoyuanjin, the small-eyed man was a little disappointed, but still said enthusiastically, "There is still half a month left from here. By then, you two can follow our beast cart to Asia."
London."
"Thank you very much. My name is Ning Cheng. These two are my companions Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdie. Have you asked for your honorifics yet?" Ning Cheng heard that he could follow these people out of the desert, and he was so happy that he clasped his fists in thanks.
"My name is Ma Ang, and this time we all came together to collect algae tendons." Ma Ang answered Ning Cheng's words politely, and at the same time introduced the people around him to Ning Cheng one by one.
Ning Cheng saw one of the young men holding half of the algae he brought yesterday, and asked Ma Ang doubtfully, "Brother Ma, is the algae you are talking about a type of algae that grows in this lake?"
Algae?”
Ma Ang quickly said, "Yes, it's this kind of algae. Because this kind of thing is far away from the city of Aaron, it's still in the desert, and it's extremely difficult to get, so it's extremely valuable."
"What's the value?" Ning Cheng also felt that this kind of algae was unusual.
Ma Ang solemnly said, "Algae essence contains a kind of vitality of heaven and earth. In the space we live in, things containing the vitality of heaven and earth are extremely rare, and algae essence is the most valuable one. Because algae essence contains
This kind of vitality of heaven and earth can be extracted from the vitality of algae essence and made into a kind of algae essence pill for some warriors to practice. Because of this, the value of algae essence is very high. Just a small piece can be sold
Give me a silver coin."
Ning Chengxin said it was no wonder. When he cut off the algae essence tendon, he felt it was valuable. It turned out that this thing still contained vitality, and it looked similar to the Qi Gathering Stone.
"There are a lot of algae tendrils down here. Why is it so difficult to get?" Ning Cheng thought about how when he went down to the lake last night, he was tangled up in these algae tendons in just a short period of time. It can be seen that they are everywhere under the lake.
.
Ma Ang sighed and said, "Brother Ning, you don't know something. The algae tendons are extremely tough, and if they are accidentally entangled, it will be a life-or-death situation. Every time we come here, we lose thousands of lives."
It takes a lot of hard work to get just a little bit."
Extraordinarily tough? Ning Cheng thought that his triangular thorns could easily cut off a piece of algae tendon. How could he be said to be extraordinarily tough? He quickly realized that the tools these people were carrying were all made of ordinary iron.
, simply the worst weapon.
Although his three-edged thorn is rubbish, he made it from good materials. It is obviously not comparable to the weapons carried by these people.
"And it's dangerous to stay here at night. This lake is called White Ghost Lake. It's easy to lose your soul here at night and turn into a walking zombie. So we don't dare to live here at night. The three of you were here last night
I'm really lucky to have nothing to do for one night." Ma Ang continued to explain.
Ning Cheng suddenly remembered what Yin Kongchan said before, and thought to himself, is there really a ghost in this lake? But he went down yesterday and nothing happened until now?
Thinking of this, Ning Cheng said again, "Brother Ma, do you think this is okay? I'll go get the algae root and we'll split the money in half."
