Two waves rolled up, and Yun Xi and Bai Qing poked their heads out of the water.
"Finally got rid of them!"
Yun Xi floated in the water, looking in the direction of the forest, sighing in relief.
Bai Qing said with a hint of anger: "This is the first time in my life that this young patriarch has been chased in such a panic. When I recover my spiritual power, I must pull them all out."
Yun Xi glanced at it and said: "Whether you can come in or not is a question. Hurry up and swim to the shore over there. There are such thorns in the forest. It is reasonable to guarantee that it is some other monster.
."
"Yun Xi."
Bai Qing shouted calmly.
"Huh?"
Yun Xi looked at it in confusion and found that it was looking at her like a monster.
"Have you ever opened your mouth?"
Almost at the same time that Bai Qing said these words, Yun Xi also noticed that something was wrong. In the calm river water, strips of dark green algae were slowly rising and heading towards them.
"Damn it! Why is there seaweed in the river?!"
Yun Xi was shocked and angry! In order to harm people, this secret realm doesn’t respect the laws of nature, right?!
"Stop talking nonsense and leave quickly!"
Bai Qing shouted anxiously, it didn't want the two of them to escape the pursuit of those thorns and die in the river in the blink of an eye.
Yun Xi grabbed Bai Qing and threw her on his back. The little fox had just finished its bloodline activation, and now it simply did not have enough physical strength to support it in swimming out of the river.
Just now Bai Qing ran away with it on her back, now it's her turn to swim with Bai Qing on her back.
As soon as Bai Qing grabbed Yun Xi's back collar, she heard Yun Xi shout: "Hold your breath!"
It immediately took a deep breath, and then followed Yun Xi into the water.
Yun Xi put her legs and feet together, and her beautiful body was swimming underwater, swimming quickly like a mermaid, swimming quickly towards the other side of the river.
The seaweed in the river floats upward, and the twisting appearance is harmless, but the speed does not seem to be slow at all.
Although Yun Xi has weapons on her body, even when her spiritual veins are not sealed, underwater is not her home ground.
Don't think about any unnecessary operations at this time, just speed up and you're done!
Yun Xi's swimming ability is not very strong, but in this life-and-death situation, her desire to survive directly caused her to burst out with all her strength, and led Bai Qing to swim crazily towards the shore.
The river was not very wide, only less than 100 meters away. Yun Xi made a strong effort and crossed the 100-meter river channel to the other shore in just ten seconds.
Wow!
After taking a long breath, Yun Xi came out from the water, grabbed the land on the shore with both hands, and jumped upward.
Hiss!
Just when half of her body emerged from the water, two pieces of seaweed wrapped around her feet and pulled her toward the water.
Yun Xi didn't panic, and with her backhand, she drew out the Nian Shuang Swords from her waist and stabbed toward the water with one sword!
The taut seaweed felt the sharpness of the spiritual sword, and immediately let go of Yun Xi's feet and dived back into the water.
Yun Xi hurriedly took the opportunity to get ashore. As soon as she got ashore, Yun Xi, who was all wet, lay directly on the ground, gasping for air. The load that she had just exploded in that moment was even greater than when she was running wildly in the forest before.
, now not only Bai Qing, but also she has no fighting ability.
Yun Xi leaned against the soil, her head resting on some weeds, her body relaxed, her chest rising and falling.
She looked at the blue sky, and after her breath stabilized a bit, she said, "Tell me, does this senior demon master deliberately kill the people who come in?"
After Bai Qing shook off the water on his body, he lay down on Yun Xi's belly and said tiredly: "Maybe, I have never been so useless in my life."
"It's as if I've ever been such a coward."
Yun Xi rolled her eyes angrily, and then everyone laughed.
Bai Qing said: "But this is the first time I have had such an experience since I became a spirit. It's quite interesting."
"Could it be...are you taking this opportunity to awaken some kind of masochistic constitution?" Yun Xi's eyes were complicated.
"Get out of here."
If it hadn't been for the stamina to activate the bloodline, which caused me to have no strength at all, it would definitely have to stamp on Yun Xi's belly now.
But soon, it realized a new problem.
"Yunxi!"
It yelled at Yun Xi in a serious tone.
"What's wrong?"
Yun Xi's expression was suddenly startled, and she instantly became alert.
Then she saw Bai Qing raise his paw, tremblingly pointing at herself and saying, "You are, you are lying on the ground wearing a magic snow suit!"
"..."
This long garment, woven from the hair of the spirit-slaying master of the Snow Fox Clan, is currently being damaged by the mud because Yun Xi is lying on the ground regardless of her appearance.
Even if it is a spiritual creature, it is impossible for it to remain impeccable in such close contact.
Yun Xi looked at Bai Qing, who had a heartbroken look on her face, and the corners of her mouth couldn't help but twitch twice. She said, "Let me tell you, it's already this time, who cares about this."
As she spoke, Yun Xi got up. She threw Bai Qing on the ground, took off her Huanxue clothes, walked to the river, washed them briefly, wrung out the water and put them on again.
All the clothes on her body were still wet at this time, and her inner clothes stuck to her skin, making her very uncomfortable.
At this time, although Bai Qing's body was already a little weak, he still stubbornly maintained his stance and refused to sit on this dirty ground.
Yun Xi looked at it and suddenly felt a little admired by the people of the Snow Fox Clan. These foxes had the word "pure" engraved in their bones.
She reached out and hugged Bai Qing, walked to a stone and sat down, looking ahead.
"After taking a rest for a while, we will continue on our way. This is not an easy road..."
This side of the river is a lonely, dry desert with raging wind and sand. At a glance, apart from the tall chimney-like pillars, there are only endless sand dunes.
Bai Qing said: "Find a place to rest for a few days. Don't go into this desert until I fully recover."
The sequelae of activating the power of blood is a short-term feeling of powerlessness. In fact, with Bai Qing's blood constitution, he only needs to rest for one day to be full of life again. But after that experience in the forest, he felt that he
It is safest to start again when you have recovered enough to be able to stimulate your bloodline power again.
Yun Xi doesn't have a problem with this. She also needs a good rest.
She looked around. It was still snowing outside, but the place where they were now was getting hotter. The river bank was still about two or three hundred meters away from the desert. There was like a clear dividing line in the middle.
Some rocks, weeds, dead wood and the like.
Yun Xi saw a small hill with a height of about two or three stories not far away, and walked over with Bai Qing in his arms. When he came to the foot of the hill, Yun Xi found a sunny place to rest.
"I can't find any other suitable place nearby. I'll just make do with it here for the next few days."
Yun Xi sighed and said.
"Hmm."
Bai Qing replied weakly. It closed its eyes and seemed to want to rest.
Yun Xi saw this and patted its butt.
"Stand for a moment."
She placed Bai Qing on the ground, then took off her Huanxue clothes first, then her original coat, and spread it on the ground, with the outside touching the ground.
"Lie down here and sleep. Don't worry, it's just stained with water and it's still clean."
"Thank you."
Bai Qing was really tired, so he didn't say anything else. He just walked up to Yun Xi's clothes, curled up and lay down with his eyes closed.
After a while, its breath became even and long, and it fell asleep quickly.
Yun Xi looked at it quietly for a moment, walked to the mound on the side, pulled out a dagger, and started digging holes in the wall.
……
There is no sun in the secret realm, and the sky is completely bright during the day. At night, the sky becomes dark, with only a faint light.
"Hmm~"
Bai Qing, who had rested for most of the day, stretched his body, stretched out his four claws straight, and slowly opened his sky-blue eyes.
"Crackling..."
A strange sound attracted its attention. It turned its head and saw that Yun Xi had lit a pile of firewood at some point. The scorching heat during the day had turned cold at night. At this time, there was a fire. Whether it was from the light or from the
From a lighting perspective, this is a good thing.
No wonder it clearly felt the occasional cold wind blowing when it was sleeping, but it didn't feel cold at all.
"Are you awake?"
Yun Xi noticed Bai Qing waking up and turned to look at it.
Bai Qing nodded and asked, "Where did you get the fire?"
Yun Xi took out the dagger from her waist and shook it: "As long as there is firewood, making a fire is trivial."
Bai Qing said: "You are quite skilled."
"It's just a little experience. If you have experienced more things, you can also learn some outdoor survival methods. But you snow foxes have hair, so you don't really need a fire."
Yun Xi joked with a smile.
Bai Qing rolled her eyes, but did not refute.
The way humans survive is indeed different from that of monsters.
"Woo~~"
Yun Xi opened her mouth, yawned, and said with moist eyes: "Since you're awake, you can stay vigil tonight while I rest first."
Bai Qing nodded: "Okay."
While Bai Qing was sleeping, Yun Xi found a lot of hay and put it on the ground to make a simple bed. At this moment, she slowly lay down, with her back to the bonfire, and fell asleep on her side.
Seeing that Yun Xi fell into sleep so quickly, Bai Qing knew that she had probably wanted to rest for a long time, so she tried not to make any noise to avoid disturbing her.
Suddenly, it saw a small cave dug out of the mountain wall next to it. This was a small cave in the true sense, so small that Yun Xi couldn't get in even if she curled up.
But it can. This is a small room prepared by Yunxi for it. There is some hay in it. As long as you put Yunxi's coat around it, it will be a very comfortable bed.
Bai Qing's eyes flashed slightly, a little surprised by this.
It turned its eyes and stared at Yun Xi, thinking, no wonder Xiao Lingyuan and the others are devoted to you, you are really a good person.
It did not lie down in the small earthen house, but continued to sit on the ground, looking up at the sky, not knowing what it was thinking.
……
When the sky was bright, Yun Xi woke up.
She stood up from the simple haystack, looked at Bai Qing who had been guarding him all night, and said, "I have rested, do you want to rest again?"
Bai Qing gave her an annoyed look: "Do you think I'm a pig?"
It was so sleepy yesterday simply because it was too tired. Under normal circumstances, it would be fine even if it didn't sleep for several days and nights. The same is true for Yun Xi.
Seeing that it had recovered well at this time, Yun Xi also felt much more relaxed, and she said: "In that case, wait for me here."
"What do you want to do?"
Yun Xi gestured toward the forest across the river: "Go back again and pick up something."
Bai Qing looked at her as if she was mentally retarded: "What is worth taking such a risk for you? There are still those seaweeds in the water."
"Those seaweeds are nothing to be afraid of. They are afraid of swords, and they are not particularly fast. Yesterday I was able to get rid of them even if I was not in good condition, and now it is no longer a problem."
Yun Xi put on her clothes, took her dagger and sword with her, and said, "Don't worry, just go back and you'll be fine."
Seeing the confidence and determination in Yun Xi's eyes, Bai Qing hesitated for a moment, but finally restrained himself from calling her. He watched Yun Xi jump into the river again and quickly swam towards the other side of the river.
Yun Xi, who had been warned this time, was no longer as hasty as yesterday. She adjusted her posture as soon as she entered the water and swam forward at full speed. With her physical condition intact, she reached the other shore without any danger.
Bai Qing stood by the river and kept staring at Yun Xi. It didn't know what Yun Xi planned to do, but if something happened to her, Bai Qing would not hesitate to save her.
Fortunately, Yun Xi rushed back within two minutes after re-entering the forest. She jumped more than ten meters high, landed directly in the middle of the river, and swam violently towards the shore.
Wow!
The water splashed, and Yun Xi came out of the river quickly. There were more thorny vines on her body than when she left. These thorny thorny vines were wrapped around her waist. Because of the protection of Huanxue Yi, they did not sting her.
.
Bai Qing looked at her with confusion: "You took the risk to avenge this anger?"
"What kind of revenge is this?"
Yun Xi looked amused and explained: "There is a phenomenon in the desert called quicksand. Once you fall into it, no matter how strong you are, it will be difficult to get out. Just in case, we must take precautions in advance." She picked up the thorn vines, took out her dagger and began to cut off the thorns: "These thorn vines are very tough. When we set out for the desert, we will use this to tie around our waists. If anyone accidentally gets hit,
Once the other person is caught in the quicksand, the other person will use this to pull the other person out."
Bai Qing suddenly realized that there was no desert in the snowy land, so she knew very little about quicksand.
"You are really thoughtful." Bai Qing praised, and then said, "But will someone like me really fall into quicksand?"
Without growing in size, Bai Qing's body is actually very light. If it encounters quicksand, it might just run out without waiting for Yun Xi to react.
Yun Xi's eyelids twitched: "Just think that you are trying to save my life, okay."
"Hahahaha!"
Seeing Yun Xi's deflated look, Bai Qing laughed wantonly.
Listening to the clear and sweet laughter in her ears, Yun Xi couldn't help but feel infected, and the corners of her mouth slightly curved.
