Chapter 30
Seeing Xie Wuyu's expression look a little strange after hearing the words "Brother Chenbei", Jiang Yunmiao finally realized that he and her were now rivals in love, and said in a pretentious manner: "Don't think that just because Brother Chenbei looks at you differently, you should have some inappropriate thoughts. Brother Chenbei is mine, do you understand?!"
After saying this, Jiang Yunmiao shuddered: [Oh my god, I want to vomit! I actually said such disgusting words like this, I am so dirty! Wuwuwu! 】
Xie Wu Yu still replied in a gentle voice: "Senior Sister Jiang, you misunderstood me. Senior Brother Xiao and I are not what you think. Senior Brother Xiao and I are just ordinary classmates. He came to me last time because..."
"Humph, it's better if you say so!" Jiang Yunmiao interrupted Xie Wu Yu in a cold voice.
【I understand, I understand... On the surface, they are cold and distant, and they are still brewing in private, right? ! Tsk tsk, little tricks between young lovers! 】
【Alas, don't say, although some of the dog man's behaviors are a bit rubbish, this is an old bloody article after all. The dog man is barely worthy of the beautiful sister. If I were not a stumbling block in their love, I would definitely be starving to death now! 】
Jiang Yunmiao only noticed at this moment that the location where she and Xie Wuyu were actually at the edge of a lake that looked quiet and beautiful.
They happened to be on a small hill by the lake, and they could overlook the entire lake from above.
The lake is not large in area, and the water is a shade of blue from light to dark from the outside to the inside. The lake surface is as calm as a mirror, and the entire lake surface looks like a very beautiful piece of jade.
"Senior Sister Jiang, usually nine-petaled sweet osmanthus flowers grow at the edge of this kind of water. Should we go down and take a look?" Xie Wuyu suggested in a low voice.
Jiang Yunmiao didn't really want to go over there, as she was a landlubber and was afraid of water. However, Xianliu Island is surrounded by the sea, and the original owner was not afraid of water. Therefore, Jiang Yunmiao thought about it and still agreed reluctantly.
The two chose a suitable location, and after coming down from the small hill, they approached the edge of the lake.
It was not obvious when looking from the small hill, but after the two landed and walked down, they found that the location of the small hill was still quite a distance from the lake.
However, the good news is that the nine-petal sweet osmanthus mentioned by Xie Wuyu has really grown a lot near the lake, but the bad news is that these nine-petal sweet osmanthus flowers are not growing on the shore of the lake as Xie Wuyu said, but growing directly on the water.
The lake water at this distance from the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flowers to the lake shore, except for the small section of the lake shoreline where the bottom of the lake can be clearly seen, the lake water immediately turns into the deep blue color visible to the naked eye after walking a few steps forward.
The location of the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flowers is just behind this section of deep blue.
If Jiang Yunmiao were a native of this world, he would not have thought anything of it. He would have been surprised the first time he saw the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flower, just like Xie Wuyu.
The nine-petal sweet osmanthus flower is an indispensable material for refining various precious elixirs. If all the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flowers of such high quality growing here could be picked, it would be a great harvest.
But Jiang Yunmiao didn't know why, when he saw that section of the dark blue lake water, he felt a little scared.
This color stratification shows that the lake water here is falling off a cliff, and the bottom of the lake in the dark blue area must be very deep.
Jiang Yunmiao couldn't help but imagine that there was some strange water monster deep in the lake, lurking under the water, secretly watching the shore, waiting for people on the shore to come to the water, then emerging from the bottom of the water and dragging them into the lake.
However, after seeing Xie Wuyu's eager eyes for the nine-petal sweet osmanthus, Jiang Yunmiao didn't say a word of refusal, but nodded silently.
The location of this piece of nine-petal sweet osmanthus is not particularly far from the shore, but there are no other waterside plants nearby except this piece of nine-petal sweet osmanthus, and the water surface is terribly clean. Therefore, although Jiang Yunmiao agreed to Xie Wuyu's request, he still kept a word of caution.
She stood on the shore, searched her storage bag for some things that were irresistible to monsters, and threw them into the lake.
The food fell on the lake, and the water was still for a long time. It didn't look like there were any living things at the bottom of the lake.
The things Jiang Yunmiao threw out were prepared by Jiang Yifei for her, so they were naturally good things. It stands to reason that no monster could resist the temptation and not eat them, so there should be no living things at the bottom of the lake.
But the more this happened, the more the strange feeling of uneasiness in Jiang Yunmiao's heart began to spread. But after seeing Xie Wuyu, Jiang Yunmiao couldn't say the word "give up".
Xie Wuyu was not a person without tact. Seeing Jiang Yunmiao's dilemma, he took the initiative to say, "If Senior Sister Jiang feels there is danger, how about this, I go into the water and Senior Sister Jiang stays on the shore? It happens that I am a pretty good swimmer. If there are any monsters, Senior Sister Jiang can warn me on the shore!"
Xie Wuyu said so, Jiang Yunmiao couldn't say anything else, so she could only nod.
Xie Wuyu is a talisman cultivator. Unlike sword cultivators who can fly with swords, there are thousands of kinds of talismans. After Xie Wuyu put two wind-controlling talismans on her feet, she floated up as if she had stepped on two small tornadoes.
Then, she walked towards the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flower by the lake.
Xie Wuyu's feet were still quite far from the lake surface. She looked just like a sword cultivator who was flying with a sword, except that she was using talismans to control the wind.
Seeing Jiang Yunmiao walking steadily across the dark blue lake, and then steadily going to the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flower to start picking, her heart, which had been hanging in the air, finally settled down.
However, something unexpected happened at the moment Xie Wuyu started to pick the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flower! As
soon as Xie Wuyu placed her hand on the stem of the nine-petal sweet osmanthus flower, a huge wave suddenly appeared on the surface of the water under her feet.
"Be careful--" Before Jiang Yunmiao finished speaking, Xie Wuyu was entangled by several dark blue tentacles that emerged from the bottom of the water.
It was at this time that Jiang Yunmiao realized that the large dark blue area she saw earlier was not a cliff-like drop at the bottom of the lake as she had imagined, but because of this unknown monster that had been hiding and crawling at the bottom of the lake.
The appearance of the monster merged with the lake water, and it looked like the dark-colored lake water.
Moreover, this monster was obviously sane. When Jiang Yunmiao and Xie Wuyu just arrived at the lake shore, it had a chance to sneak attack them, but when there was no chance of success, it did not move at all. It even resisted the bait thrown by Jiang Yunmiao and did not move.
No wonder there was no living creature in this clear water. All the emotions became its food!
Fortunately, Xie Wuyu reacted immediately. She quickly took out several talismans and threw them at the tentacles that attacked her. The talismans exploded as soon as they touched the tentacles, directly blowing off the tentacles of the water monster. Xie Wuyu didn't bother to pick the spiritual medicine, and turned around and rushed to the shore.
However, although Xie Wuyu's talismans blew off the tentacles of the lake monster, they also angered it.
The dark blue at the bottom of the lake began to stir, and tentacles shot out from the bottom of the lake one after another, directly forming a large net, covering Xie Wuyu in the middle.
Seeing this, Jiang Yunmiao hurriedly began to take out magic tools from his storage bag.
Although she has reached the Golden Core Stage, she has zero combat experience. Although the original owner's cultivation was useless, she was a native of this world after all, and at least she knew a few tricks. Jiang Yunmiao had been here for so long, and she had learned about the circulation of spiritual energy, but she had no experience in fighting monsters.
Fortunately, Jiang Yifei was generous to her, and his storage bag was filled with good things.
For example, under the cover of so many tentacles, a small round bead thrown by Jiang Yunmiao landed on the tentacles and exploded automatically, blowing the tentacles to pieces, but did not hurt Xie Wuyu at all.
With Jiang Yunmiao's help, although Xie Wuyu escaped in a desperate situation, he finally escaped from the lake monster's tentacles.
However, although Xie Wuyu landed safely, the lake monster also landed at an extremely fast speed.
It was probably because the lake monster's previous attacks were all submerged in the water, or the unknown lake monster lurking in the water gave the two of them the illusion that the other party could not leave the water.
The lake monster did not have its entire body on the shore, but even so, it was very scary.
It looked like a large pool of viscous liquid, without a fixed shape. The half of the body that landed was stacked together, and the tentacles stretched out from the accumulated viscous liquid.
Xie Wuyu was already very fast when he got to the shore, but the lake monster was even faster. Its tentacles extended quickly, trapping Jiang Yunmiao and Xie Wuyu from both sides.
Now it looked like they couldn't leave.
"Senior Sister Jiang, I'm sorry, it's all my fault..." Seeing this development, Xie Wuyu apologized to Jiang Yunmiao in a low voice, and then she said, "Senior Sister Jiang, I will try to hold it back and bring it back to the bottom of the lake. It's a water monster, so it must like water more. I'm a good swimmer. When the time comes, you can find the right opportunity and run to the mountain."
After Xie Wuyu said this, he didn't give Jiang Yunmiao time to refuse, and turned around and went to the lakeside.
The lake monster probably didn't expect Xie Wuyu to do this. When it saw Xie Wuyu coming towards its main body, it grew more short and thick tentacles and attacked Xie Wuyu. But at the same time, it didn't retract its two long and thin tentacles, but attacked in the direction of Jiang Yunmiao.
This lake monster was very greedy, and it didn't want to let go of either of its prey.
