Lin Xixue withdrew her consciousness, tapped the eaves with her toes, and arrived at the pool like a breeze passing by.
She took a few deep breaths, suppressed her instinctive fear of deep water, unfolded the jade book, and prepared to enter the pool to explore.
However, before entering the pool, she still tried to contact Xu Zhiyi. After all, it had been so long and there was still no reply. It was impossible for Lin Xixue not to be worried.
Lin Xixue: Have you successfully escaped?
Xu Zhiyi: Sister Lin, I have escaped, but Sister Bai
Lin Xixue originally wanted to ask why she didn't contact her in time after escaping from trouble, but when she heard Xu Zhiyi's words, her heart suddenly tightened, and she even forgot to blame her, and quickly asked: What happened to her? Is she injured?
Xu Zhiyi: No, she went back to continue looking for the Snow Soul Pill recipe, saying she must find it.
Lin Xixue: Isn’t she just fooling around? She even risked her life for Zhang Danfang! What’s the matter with you? Why didn’t you tell me such an important thing!
Lin Xixue's attitude suddenly became stern, completely forgetting that she herself had done this kind of near-death thing.
Xu Zhiyi: I, Sister Bai, won’t let me say it.
Lin Xixue: You! Forget it, where are you? I’ll find you right away!
Xu Zhiyi: I don’t know. Sister Bai put me in a strange village, and I couldn’t understand the local people’s language.
Lin Xixue sighed, understanding that Bai Qing had calculated in advance that Xu Zhiyi might leak the news, so she deliberately took her to a strange place.
In this way, even if he knew about the incident, he would not be able to go to the rescue in time.
Lin Xixue: Forget it, practice hard and wait for news from Bai Qing and me.
At this point, it is useless to blame Xu Zhiyi. Although he has seen the full map of Nancang Realm, he does not know the specific location of Tingxue Tower. Even if he wants to go to the rescue, there is no way.
Lin Xixue sent a message to Bai Qing again: I know the whole story, are you okay now?
After a long while, she received a very brief reply: No worries, don’t read it.
Lin Xixue shook her head and stopped disturbing her. After all, if it was really a matter of life and death, he might distract her and add some danger.
She patted her cheeks and tried to calm herself down. She was just anxious now and couldn't do anything, so she should focus on the things in front of her.
At the moment, there is no other way besides trusting Bai Qing.
She sent another message to Xu Zhiyi: I'm sorry, I was a little emotional just now. I shouldn't be harsh on you. It's just that you shouldn't hide such an important thing from me.
Xu Zhiyi: Sister Bai said that if you find out about this matter, you may become emotionally unstable and suffer from hysteria again, so she won’t let me tell you.
When Lin Xixue heard this, she couldn't help but feel touched again. Bai Qing really considered herself in every aspect and replied: She didn't let you say it, so didn't you say it anyway in the end?
Xu Zhiyi: But you can contact Sister Bai directly. If I don't tell you, but you can't contact Sister Bai and find something strange, won't I still be scolded in the end?
Although Lin Xixue couldn't see Xu Zhiyi's expression, she could feel that she was a little aggrieved just from the words. Thinking about it carefully, it was indeed extremely difficult for Xu Zhiyi to be caught in the middle.
Lin Xixue: It is true that no matter what you do, it is not appropriate for you to do this. I have wronged you. I was indeed a little impulsive just now. You should practice hard and wait for our news.
Xu Zhiyi: Okay, I'll wait for you to pick me up.
Lin Xixue: By the way, you said before that you were in a place begging for Lotte. Have there been any other changes recently?
Xu Zhiyi: I can feel that she has something to say, but most of what she hears is noise, which is difficult to distinguish.
Lin Xixue: Okay, you are alone outside, please pay attention to your safety. If you meet someone with bad intentions, don’t be soft-hearted.
After some more instructions, Lin Xixue looked at the bottomless pool in front of her, opened the jade book, and jumped in.
After diving for tens of feet, there was no moonlight around, but the moss growing in the gaps between the green bricks on both sides was getting more and more dense.
The moss was green at first, but as she dived deeper and deeper, it gradually turned orange-red.
I don’t know how long I have been diving, but there is nothing else around except water plants and bluestone bricks, let alone the trace of the big slug.
But she didn't know if it was an illusion, but she vaguely felt that the diving channel seemed to have a slight arc, bending to one side.
This arc is getting wider and wider, and the water channel that originally dived vertically gradually became horizontal and horizontal. Lin Xixue can already move forward on the bluestone bricks.
Lin Xixue stepped on the moss, as if stepping on a slippery, soft and unstressed carpet, and would bring up dark red mucus every time she raised her feet.
This weird touch, coupled with the disgusting look, made her extremely uncomfortable.
However, the arc continued to increase, and the originally flat water channel gradually turned into an uphill slope. The originally downward water channel actually turned upward.
Only then did Lin Xixue realize that this was actually a "U" shaped waterway, but because it was too long and had an extremely steep slope, it was not noticed when he first dived.
She recited the word "light", and with the help of buoyancy, her toes touched the blue bricks on both sides of the waterway, and her whole body formed a "zig" shape, darting upward like a swimming fish.
Soon, she saw the water above her head. She sped up and rushed out of the water. Her originally narrow field of vision suddenly became clearer.
This was an underground cave, and there were obvious traces of man-made excavations on the surrounding walls. However, when she took a closer look at the surrounding environment, her throat began to boil with acid.
If she hadn't seen too many disgusting things since time travel, her mental endurance would have been far worse than before, and she would have vomited on the spot.
There were densely packed slugs crawling on the walls of the cave, but they couldn't be completely called slugs. Lin Xixue didn't know whether to define them as slugs with human limbs or as humans with slug bodies.
These monsters have no eyes, only two tentacles protruding from their foreheads. They have no necks, and their degenerate human heads are directly connected to their bodies covered with mucus.
But slugs are not supposed to have limbs, but these monsters have hands and feet on their abdomens. However, these hands and feet are not really supported by bones like humans. They are more like squid feet with fingers.
Her vision began to dim, and the sound of "chi la chi la" electricity sounded in her ears.
Although she is not like Bai Qing, who can sense evil energy, her rich experience of being infected by evil energy tells her that she has been infected by a large amount of evil energy again.
She was too lazy to take any more God-Reinforcing Pills. After all, she was almost completely drug-resistant. Apart from psychological comfort, it had no other use.
At the same time, these "slugs" seemed to have discovered her. The squid with a soft belly opened its feet and kicked, like a flying feather flying off the string, directly hitting her belly.
But Lin Xixue spread out the jade book to protect her whole body, so she would never get close to the slug. The faster the slug hit her, the faster it would be knocked backwards by the jade book.
However, the next scene made Lin Xixue's jaw drop.
