But beautiful things are often accompanied by crises. Beneath this seemingly beautiful blue-green lake, countless dangers are lurking.
While Xiao Bai was still unconsciously enjoying the feeling of the cool and clean spring water on his skin, the hidden crisis was slowly approaching.
Suddenly, ripples began to appear on the surface of the beautiful and clean lake. The calm water surface was broken, and the deep lake bottom suddenly began to surge. The deep blue at the bottom of the lake seemed to be swimming, slowly spreading toward the water surface, like a ball of light blue dye that had originally settled calmly at the bottom of the water. Because the water surface was suddenly stirred up by someone, the dye at the bottom of the water began to spread.
Xiao Bai paused as she scooped up a handful of water. She also noticed something unusual at the bottom of the lake. Just as she was about to get up and leave, she suddenly felt a strong wind coming from behind her. She subconsciously turned her body to the right to avoid it, but suddenly an alarm sounded in her mind. Her sixth sense made her subconsciously fall to the left as the attack from behind her came.
Then, a hand from behind grabbed her neck tightly and she fell to the left, falling right into Murong An's arms.
When she fell into Murong An's broad and strong arms, she looked up at the man's angular profile and smooth jawline, and her mind went blank for a moment.
This... the sudden appearance of a hero to save the beauty really made her a little overwhelmed! In addition to her accelerated heartbeat, she felt like she had suddenly lost her hearing. There was nothing else in her head except the buzzing!
Although this man has a bad temper, is a bit cold, and speaks harshly, his face is really good at fighting!
Feeling the man's body temperature, Xiao Bai, who was always carefree, also felt a little blushing.
However, the reactions of straight men never disappoint!
Murong An didn't even look at her. His eyes were fixed on the position to Xiao Bai's original right. Then he pushed Xiao Bai in his arms back hard.
Xiao Bai:·······
When her body suddenly lost weight and was thrown onto the big rock, her eyes widened and she was still dazed.
Fortunately, men would disappoint her, but dogs would never let her down. Lai Fu quickly ran to Xiao Bai's side, slobbered on the confused Xiao Bai's face, and finally brought her back to her senses.
At this time, Murong An had already started fighting with the unknown creature.
This guy is obviously a tough guy!
It was the first time that Xiao Bai saw Murong An with such a serious expression. He didn't even have time to look at her. He was only focused on dealing with the strange creature in front of him.
Or, it shouldn't be called a living creature, or it's more like a ball of light blue gas. Murong An was very cautious about this. He used up huge amounts of spiritual energy in his hands time and time again to condense a protective barrier to block the ball of gas and block the attack of the light blue gas. However, when these spiritual energy barriers collided with the blue gas, although they could withstand the impact of the opponent, they would also quickly dissipate.
Therefore, in order to prevent the light blue gas from approaching, Murong An could only keep creating new spiritual barriers.
He seemed to know what this thing was and was very afraid of it, and didn't seem to want to touch it at all.
Xiao Bai watched as the team in front of him exchanged more than ten moves in a short period of time. He wanted to help but was worried that he would make things worse, so he just kept walking around on the side.
Murong An's expression was solemn. He didn't know why this thing appeared here! This thing should have been extinct thousands of years ago!
This looks like a mass of air, but in fact it is not a gas, but a living creature, a creature that can replace human life - nightmare.
Nightmares have no physical form, they are more like a mass of energy that feeds on human consciousness. They usually enter the human body through the seven orifices, then enter the human brain, and absorb human consciousness for survival.
After being invaded by the nightmare, humans will immediately fall into a coma, and appear to be in a deep sleep. Unless a high-level cultivator with extremely powerful spiritual awareness is found to invade the person's sea of consciousness and defeat the nightmare, the person will slowly die in his sleep, and the nightmare will replace the person's spiritual awareness and wake up in the person's body. Until the spiritual awareness he absorbed from this body is exhausted, the nightmare will look for the next human to parasitize.
Creatures like nightmares were very difficult to deal with even thousands of years ago. Even if you found a master who was willing to take the risk of invading their sea of consciousness to save people, the human sea of consciousness was so complicated and the untrained spiritual consciousness was so fragile that it was difficult to save people. After all, if you fought in the sea of consciousness and accidentally destroyed someone's sea of consciousness or hurt the spiritual consciousness in the sea of consciousness, it would be difficult for that person to survive. If you were not careful, you would become a fool. Even if you were lucky enough to successfully expel the nightmare, as long as the sea of consciousness or the spiritual consciousness was damaged, it would be difficult to practice afterwards.
This is also the reason why Murong An is so cautious. He must not let this thing touch him and Xiao Bai, nor must he let this thing run away from here.
Although I don’t know why this nightmare can survive for so long in this deep underground pool, after all, the nightmare is not parasitic in the sea of consciousness, and without the replenishment of spiritual consciousness, it should dissipate quickly!
What Murong An has to do now is to race against time with it, delaying it and preventing it from getting close to the only three living beings here, until its remaining spiritual energy is exhausted.
The light blue nightmare tried several times to break through Murong An's defense and invade his sea of consciousness, but Murong An's speed was too fast. No matter from which angle it attacked, he could quickly form a spiritual barrier to block it!
Nightmare attacked dozens of times but was unable to get close to Murong An, so he quickly shifted his target and attacked Xiao Bai.
At this time, Xiao Bai was still in a semi-dazed state. After all, although she had fought with many mutated animals and plants, she had never fought with a ball of colored air. So when she saw the ball of light blue air attacking her, she was a little helpless!
Although she wanted to imitate Murong An's ability to form a spiritual barrier, her speed wasn't that fast! Even if she knotted her fingers, she couldn't keep up with the speed of the attacking air mass! After all, she had seen how quickly Murong An formed seals to block his attacks! She felt ashamed of herself!
Seeing the pale blue gas about to hit her face, Xiao Bai was so nervous that she didn't dare to breathe! Fortunately, Murong An, who was usually not very reliable, was particularly helpful this time. He condensed a spiritual energy barrier in front of her nose to block the gas.
"This is called a nightmare. It's a very dangerous creature. Stay away from it!"
Murong An flashed forward, pulled Xiao Bai behind him with one hand, and dealt with the nightmare while explaining.
The attacks were blocked several times, and the nightmare seemed to be very angry, twisting and deforming several times in the air. However, Xiao Bai could not understand the meaning of the shapes, and just felt that it was a bit weird!
There was a ball of light blue gas floating in the air, like some kind of fire, and it was twisted into the shape of a screaming person. It looked a bit weird no matter how you looked at it!
It seems that after many unsuccessful attacks, this nightmare is getting a little anxious!
