Chapter 25 Chapter 25 "We must believe her."...
"I'll go help too." Zhao Peng took the initiative and said as he looked down at the surroundings.
Jiang Qing rejected it bluntly: "No need."
Zhao Peng wanted to say something else, but Li Xiu stopped him: "We have to believe her."
Zhao Peng had no choice but to give up.
Jiang Qing retreated a little along the original path, then carefully walked around the river to the blue crystal.
The crystals were irregular in shape. She didn't know if it was the reflection of the faint light shining on the water surface, or something else, but she saw layers of luster similar to water waves flowing inside the crystals.
The metal detector is capturing the frequency of these light sources, and the recorder is calculating frantically.
Perhaps one of Meng Yanlang and Zhao Peng could see some clues in the data, but the original body was a poor student.
Jiang Qing just casually glanced at the ripples above. One of the high-frequency waves was jumping rapidly. The wave lines formed by the pattern were short and dense, and the coverage frequency was also very high.
Although she couldn't understand it, it didn't prevent her from intuitively sensing that something was wrong.
"Zhu Tianba!" Jiang Qing put his hands on his hips and shouted upwards.
Jiang Qing is 176 cm tall, and Jingjing is several heads taller than her, reaching a height of 2.5 meters.
When Zhu Tianba heard the familiar voice, his big ears moved, and he removed half of his head and looked down, as if trying to identify the owner of the voice.
When it saw Jiang Qing's face full of anger, it quickly retracted its head.
That’s it, Jiang Qing was angry.
When Jiang Qing saw Zhu Tianba's actions, he clenched his fists unconsciously and the veins on his forehead bulged.
Don’t think she didn’t see it take a half step back, it turns out it’s afraid too!
"You'd better pray that I don't catch you!" Jiang Qing said while suppressing his anger.
She took a deep breath and tried hard to suppress the urge to make the pig into a roast suckling pig.
Zhu Tianba refused to come down and could not be summoned back by force, so she had to go up and find it herself.
Zhu Tianba shrank his neck, with his entire belly almost pressed against the huge blue crystal. He carefully felt the resonance between the energy in his body and the energy in the blue crystal.
Jiang Qingze looked around below, and her eyes finally fell on a rock next to her that was half submerged in water and covered with slippery moss.
The rock is about one meter above the bottom of the crystal. If I could stand on it and give it a strong jump, maybe... maybe I could reach the top edge of the crystal?
She stretched her wrists and ankles and began to climb carefully onto the slippery rock.
The moss covering the rock surface was so thick and greasy that stepping on it felt like walking on oiled soap.
Jiang Qing almost used his hands and feet, and his whole body was wriggling against the rock wall like a gecko. Every movement was accompanied by the sound of gravel rolling down and the tense feeling that his heart was about to jump out of his throat.
Whether she is in this world or in the previous world, she is actually a timid person.
The icy river water occasionally flooded over her shoes, and the biting cold climbed up her calves.
After some effort, she finally climbed up the slippery rock platform in an awkward manner. The hem of her clothes and trouser legs were mostly wet, covered with mud and green moss.
There is more of a sense of responsibility between a beastmaster and a spirit beast. Although she was a little disgusted at the fact that her spirit pet was a pig at first, as she got along with Zhu Tianba these days, this disgust was slowly dissipating, and what followed was an indescribable sense of bond.
She thought this was the magic of this world of beast control.
She will most likely only have one contracted beast in her life, so she has long regarded Zhu Tianba as the most important part of her life, even more than her biological parents in this world.
These crystals may not look like anything special now, but if they were truly harmless, the academy would not have listed them as abnormal nodes.
Reason told her that it was dangerous with Zhu Tianba up there.
Whatever her purpose, she was going to get it back.
Jiang Qing mustered up her courage, took a deep breath, and exerted force with her legs. She shot up like an arrow. Before she could stretch her arms upward, she felt something entangled around her feet, and that thing suddenly pulled her down.
She looked back and saw that the thing pulling her was actually a tentacle covered with green slime.
Jiang Qing staggered as he was dragged by it, and his left arm hit the stone he had just jumped from, and was quickly covered in blood.
Where the blood dripped onto the stone, the material of the stone immediately changed, although the location of the change was not noticeable.
Severe pain exploded throughout Jiang Qing's body along her nerves, but she had no time to care about it at the moment.
With a "splash", Jiang Qing dived into the water.
The icy cold seemed to ignore the fabric of her clothes and penetrated directly into her bones.
The river wasn't very deep, only reaching the height of her thighs, but the trouble was that there were troublesome shadow leeches in the river.
She endured the pain and stood up from the water. The night vision goggles on her head scanned through the dark river water and saw dozens of shadow leeches swimming towards her quickly.
There were so many of them that her scalp was tingling.
"Golden light shield." Jiang Qing was quick-eyed and quick-handed. He formed seals with his hands and activated the golden light shield to protect himself, thus avoiding being parasitized by leeches.
The golden light shield used a light that only she could see to create a small safe zone on the dark water surface, isolating the twisted and surging gray shadows.
Dozens of shadow leeches swam and collided anxiously outside the light shield. Their slippery bodies hit the energy membrane, leaving sticky traces that were then washed away by the water.
Jiang Qing breathed a sigh of relief, but new problems also arose.
There is a flaw in her skill in using the Golden Light Shield. After she sets up the Golden Light Shield, she cannot move freely, otherwise the Golden Light Shield will become ineffective.
Jiang Qing suppressed the cold sweat oozing from his forehead, held up the golden light shield with one hand, turned the backpack over with the other hand, took out a serum coagulant from it, and stabbed it fiercely into his left arm.
Next, they applied hemostatic coagulant and wound patch. After all the operations, the wound on her hand was temporarily stopped, but when she was pulled down, she also injured her bones, and there was nothing in her backpack to repair the broken bones.
The noise just now attracted Zhu Tianba's attention. Hearing the sound coming from below, he looked down with his little eyes and saw that Jiang Qing had fallen into the water at some point.
She was surrounded by dozens of shadow leeches and was in danger at any time.
"Kang?" Zhu Tianba didn't know that Jiang Qing would go to such lengths for it. It looked back at the crystal hesitantly, as if it had made some kind of decision. It gathered strength in its legs and finally chose to save Jiang Qing first.
Even after Jiang Qing fell into the water, she kept an eye on Zhu Tianba. Seeing him standing on the edge of the crystal stone and about to jump, she quickly stopped him, "Don't come over! Just stay up there."
Zhu Tianba was stunned and his movements froze.
"Kang?" It tilted its head and looked at Jiang Qing in confusion.
Jiang Qing looked around vigilantly at this moment.
She didn't know what the thing that had just pulled her down was, but it must still be nearby.
That thing was lurking in the dark, and Zhu Tianba might have been caught by it as soon as he jumped down.
It would be safer for Zhu Tianba to stay up there for the time being.
Her eyes were fixed on the shadow at the bottom of the crystal where the water flow was relatively slow.
There, several black rocks rounded by water are stacked together to form a natural depression.
Beneath the water, something seemed to be slowly wriggling, blending in with the shadows of the rocks. It was extremely difficult to distinguish without careful observation.
“Crash—”
In an instant, water splashed everywhere.
A tentacle that was several times thicker than before and covered with thick dark green mucus and moss suddenly broke out from the shadow like a giant python that had been lurking for a long time.
This is?
A first-level Immortal Grade Vine King Giant Seal!!
Jiang Qing frowned. After learning for a period of time, she could also recognize some strange beasts.
Isn't it said that the average level of the beasts in the Dark Valley is level six of the mortal order, and the highest does not exceed level seven?
Why would a fairy-level beast appear here?
No one answered her doubts. This time, the giant seal of the King of Vine was no longer targeting her, but Zhu Tianba on the crystal.
It stretched out its slimy tentacle again. The end of the tentacle was not a suction cup, but split into several thinner, flexible branches like octopus tentacles. It swept towards Zhu Tianba like lightning, bringing with it a disgusting fishy wind.
"Zhu Tianba, get out of the way!" Jiang Qing's heart almost stopped beating and he screamed in shock.
She didn't care about maintaining the stability of the golden light shield, and subconsciously wanted to form a seal with her left hand to summon back Zhu Tianba, but the severe pain in her arm and the feeling of weakness from the broken bone made her move slowly, and the light of the golden light shield suddenly fluctuated violently.
The shadow leeches on the periphery smelled the unstable energy and hit the light shield even more frantically. The light shield made a buzzing sound under the heavy load and was about to break.
Zhu Tianba took a half step back, his amber eyes full of vigilance, and he let out a low, threatening roar at the giant seal of Tengwang.
However, the giant vine king didn't take it seriously at all, and its tentacles wrapped in dark green mucus rushed towards it like a hurricane.
Zhu Tianba jumped left and right on the crystal, avoiding the threat that could be fatal at any time.
Jiang Qing's situation in the water was not much better than Zhu Tianba's.
The protection maintained by the golden light shield was crumbling in front of dozens of strange beasts, and she could clearly feel that the defense of the golden light shield was becoming weaker.
Soon, the pale golden light film collapsed like broken glass, turning into specks of light that melted into the dark air.
The biting cold and the slippery touch of death instantly rushed towards her from all directions. Several cold, dark leeches with suction cups rushed towards her trouser legs and clothes like arrows.
Jiang Qing held his breath, took out a telescopic anchor from his backpack, and swam quickly towards the shore while slapping the leeches on his body.
Fortunately, the school clothes were tight and not a single bit of her skin was exposed.
Jiang Qing quickly cleaned the shadow leeches off his body and prepared to go help Zhu Tianba.
The retractable spear in her hand grew infinitely longer. She aimed at the root of the giant vine king seal and threw the spear out with force like a javelin.
The spear pierced the giant seal's flesh accurately, causing it to hiss in pain, and its sticky tentacles remained suspended in the air for two seconds.
A hint of anger seemed to flash across the tentacle.
Soon, a new tentacle grew out of the water and headed straight for Jiang Qing.
"......" Jiang Qing turned around and ran away.
You can't play like this! If you can't beat them, just ask for help!
While Jiang Qing was searching his backpack for any useful tools, he was also keeping an eye on the movements of the giant seal of the King of Vine behind him.
No one knows how big this giant vine king seal is. Its two tentacles have already made Zhu Tianba and her overwhelmed. Perhaps this is just the tip of the iceberg of its body.
Seeing that the giant vine king couldn't defeat it, Zhu Tianba sent out new tentacles to attack Jiang Qing, and a trace of anger flashed across his little face.
There were faint blue dots in its eyes that reflected dim light. When the tentacles of the Vine King Giant Seal fell again, Zhu Tianba suddenly stopped.
The bristles on its back exploded, allowing it to withstand the attack.
At the same time, a thin ray of light as bright as lightning was constantly converging from the crystal to one place.
