Chapter 22
The space crack that had just formed was still filled with a lot of turbulence, like a washing machine, which made Xia Muqing dizzy and wanted to vomit.
The Gale Dog used all its strength and brought its characteristics to the limit, leading her and the Koi Fish to narrowly avoid the turbulent currents. Although it was only a dozen seconds, it made Xia Muqing truly experience what it meant to be surrounded by dangers and to feel like every second was an age.
Fortunately, about half a minute later, the white light dimmed, and Xia Muqing's whole body suddenly sank - she was like a solid ball, thrown out by the space crack, and rolled to the ground.
"hiss--"
My whole body felt like it was falling apart, and there was a pain in the gaps between my bones.
Xia Muqing covered her mouth and lay on the ground for a long time before she staggered to her feet.
The Swift Dog also fell down with a "thud", and was so tired that it kept sticking out its tongue.
It was also completely exhausted and couldn't even lift a single claw.
The little koi fish floated up, spitting bubbles and releasing a stream of water. 'Riptide Impact' landed on Xia Muqing and the Swift Dog, illuminating with a healing glow, quickly healing their injuries.
After recovering a little strength and spirit, Xia Muqing looked around and found that she was in a canyon, with rolling hills on both sides, dense jungle, and a vast forest.
Looking out, in the distance there is a towering black mountain range, shrouded in slightly gloomy clouds, like countless dormant black beasts.
I can't recognize where it is.
She took out her cell phone and dialed the emergency number, but the phone also showed "out of service area".
"This is bad..."
Xia Muqing murmured with a bitter face.
The space rift is completely uncontrollable. Theoretically, she may appear in any corner of the alien space at this moment. Even if Teacher Ni and others want to rescue her, they don’t know where to find her.
Looking at the scorching sun above her head, Xia Muqing wiped her face, shook off the water marks left by the rapids, and calmed herself down.
"Let's go in one direction first and see if we can find any trace of anyone."
At the very least, we must find a safe enough place before dark, otherwise the alien space at night will be more dangerous than during the day.
In order to save energy, Xia Muqing took the exhausted Gale Dog back to the beast taming space and let it rest in peace.
Carrying only a koi fish, he walked cautiously along the canyon towards the direction of the sun.
The canyon was filled with a sweet, subtle fragrance, like the scent of orchids, which was very pleasant. Xia Muqing saw many traces left by mysterious beasts, but strangely, after walking all the way, she didn't even see the shadow of a mysterious beast.
Weird, really weird.
Xia Muqing's heartbeat gradually accelerated. She became extremely alert and raised her vigilance to the highest level.
The little koi knew that the Swift Dog was exhausted and its owner could only rely on it for protection. It also felt a lot of pressure, staring with its round eyes and looking around nervously.
After walking forward for a while, Xia Muqing could vaguely see the exit of the valley right in front of her, and finally heard a series of different sounds.
There was a rustling sound, as if a herd of animals were running, making the ground rumble under their feet.
There was also a loud cacophony of noise, a male voice shouting, "Don't come over here! That's enough! If you keep chasing me, I'll have to take action. You'll be in big trouble!"
"I'll go, and you're still chasing me? Don't you understand what I'm saying?"
"I'm so rude!"
"Colorful clouds and blue birds, use the magpie bridge fairy!"
A clear whistle echoed through the clouds, and a brilliant spell covered half of the sky, like colorful clouds flowing back from the sky, with endless murderous intent hidden in the splendor.
Xia Muqing watched helplessly as dots of fluorescent light came towards her. The air was filled with a warm breath, and there was a powerful pressure extending, like a thick cloud pressing down heavily.
With such a huge range and such dazzling moves, it must be powerful!
Xia Muqing was afraid of being hurt by mistake, so she quickly shrank to the low places on both sides and squatted down.
Suddenly, she heard a series of rustling noises, and not far away someone was running all the way, ran to the hill and suddenly jumped up -
Dust flew up and landed right beside her.
Xia Muqing was startled: "You——"
Cheng Zizhuo was surprised to see someone in the canyon, but he reacted quickly and covered Xia Muqing's mouth with his hand: "Shh, don't make a sound!"
At this moment, the dazzling light that covered half of the sky suddenly dissipated.
The aura of the skill also disappeared completely, and the sky was blue and boundless, as if nothing had happened.
Xia Muqing: “???”
No, what about attack?
It was such a grand event, but it turned out to be just a cover?
On the hill, the herd of mysterious beasts also realized that they had been deceived, and immediately roared angrily. The roars echoed in the valley one after another, and then turned into echoes, spreading hundreds of meters.
The powerful wild beast in the alien space, even its roar contained spiritual intimidation, which made Xia Muqing dizzy.
But after a moment, the feeling of being shocked suddenly subsided. Xia Muqing opened her eyes and found that Cheng Zizhuo had moved half a step forward and blocked her behind him.
The roar of the beasts continued for a long time, and streaks of profound light swept back and forth across the canyon. Cheng Zizhuo gritted his teeth, enduring the turmoil. Caiyun Qingniao also perched on his shoulder, reducing his presence while converging his profound energy into a barrier, trying to block the aura of the two behind him.
But in front of the large number of mysterious beasts, Caiyun Bluebird's resistance gradually became powerless.
Accidentally, a few wisps of air passed through its barrier and swept straight towards Xia Muqing and Cheng Zizhuo behind.
Cheng Zizhuo's pupils trembled, and just as he was about to raise his hand, the koi fish in Xia Muqing's arms suddenly jumped up, and its beautiful big tail swung violently, meeting the breath coming towards him.
'Disorder', activate!
Under the transformation of characteristics, the leaked breath turned into bubbles and dissipated in the air in the blink of an eye.
The little koi fell back into Xia Muqing's arms, its face pale but its big eyes sparkling.
After barely holding on for about two minutes, the beasts, having gained nothing, finally stopped roaring.
They lingered unwillingly for a while, let out a few angry roars, and then turned around. The rumbling sound of footsteps could be heard again on the ground.
Seeing the herd of beasts walking away, Xia Muqing finally regained her breath.
And next to him, Cheng Zizhuo finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He lifted his sweaty hair and gave Xia Muqing a thumbs-up: "Your koi fish is amazing. It can withstand the breath of the beasts even before it evolves?"
Xia Muqing also tilted her head slightly and looked at the handsome boy in front of her.
Cheng Zizhuo has a good appearance, with deep facial features, a straight nose, clear lip lines, and a tight and sharp jawline.
Generally speaking, this kind of appearance is somewhat aggressive, but his eyebrows are curved and soft, especially his pair of curved eyes, with distinct black and white pupils and a soft light brown iris. When he smiles, his eyes seem to be shining with light, and the clear aura of his whole body can hardly be concealed. The overflowing youthfulness completely dissipates the impact brought by his facial features.
Xia Muqing glanced at his handsome features and asked curiously, "What skill did your Caiyun Qingniao just use? I've never heard of it. Did you create it yourself?"
The key is, it's not in her illustrated guide.
There was only one possibility for a skill not found in the illustrated manual: it was a divine skill created by a mythical beast. However, Xia Muqing knew that the Rainbow Bluebird was only the first stage of evolution of the Rainbow Skylark; it still needed another round of evolution before it could become a mythical beast.
Can you possess magical skills after evolving to the first level?
That's really amazing.
After all, the potential of a mysterious beast with divine skills has undergone a qualitative change. There is almost no need to worry about the risk of failure in the second-level evolution. It is certain to become a divine beast.
Even stronger than Lu Wenshen’s divine beast cub.
Hearing Xia Muqing's slightly admiring tone, Cheng Zizhuo nodded humbly: "It can be considered an original creation, but unfortunately it's not perfect yet. As you can see, it has only form but no substance, and can only be used to scare people."
"I'm sorry for getting you into trouble just now. If I had known someone was hiding here, I definitely wouldn't have run here."
He smiled at Xia Muqing and stretched out his right hand. His five slender fingers and palm were dry and warm. "Let me introduce myself. I am Cheng Zizhuo from Yan University."
Xia Muqing reached out and shook his hand. "S City No. 3 Middle School, Xia Muqing."
"......?" Cheng Zizhuo was stunned for a moment, "Are you a high school student?"
Xia Muqing smiled bitterly: "Yeah, bad luck, I encountered a space rift right after entering."
"Do you know where this is and how to get out?"
Cheng Zizhuo touched his nose, looking a little embarrassed: "Uh... I was originally in the fourth district, but then I encountered some problems and ran quite far away. So this might be the fifth district, or maybe the sixth district..."
“Tick-tock.”
A drop of blood suddenly dripped from his nose. Cheng Zizhuo hurriedly tried to wipe it, but then Xia Muqing discovered that blood was flowing from his ears and the corners of his mouth.
Cheng Zizhuo wiped the blood off his hands and looked at him blankly: "I..."
Suddenly, he closed his eyes and fell straight to the ground.
The weak Caiyun Bluebird also turned into a stream of light, flew into his mysterious beast space, and disappeared.
Xia Muqing: “……?”
…
Cheng Zizhuo was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and it was obvious that he was seriously injured.
Xia Muqing originally thought that he had just resisted the roar of the beasts and suffered a mental shock, but after a quick inspection, she found that the boy in front of her had many wounds on his body. When he rolled up his sleeves, he could see strips of hastily bandaged bandages.
There was no other way, so Xia Muqing asked the little koi to give him a "Riptide Impact".
Thanks to the treatment, Cheng Zizhuo's complexion improved slightly, no longer as pale as at the beginning. But the problem was that he was still in a coma, with no signs of waking up.
What's a bit embarrassing is that "Riptide Impact" is a water-based skill after all. With one move, Cheng Zizhuo's whole body became wet.
He was wearing a light-colored T-shirt, which was now soaked with water and stuck tightly to his body, faintly revealing the outline of his lean abdominal muscles. Tiny water droplets rolled down his skin, casting a shimmering halo in the sunlight.
Xia Muqing blushed slightly and glanced a few times.
Honestly, she has a very nice figure.
But no matter how good her figure was, it was useless at this moment. Xia Muqing looked at the gradually darkening sky, struggling for a while between being stuck in the canyon and struggling to move forward. Then, resigned to her fate, she bent down and dragged Cheng Zizhuo onto her back.
Then he slowly moved away from the herd, taking one deep step and one shallow step.
Cheng Zizhuo looks thin, but his flesh is firm and he is not light at all. If Xia Muqing had not been exercising hard during this period, she really wouldn't be able to carry him.
But even so, Xia Muqing was exhausted.
After finally finding a cave, Xia Muqing confirmed there were no signs of large mysterious beasts nearby and quickly set the men down. About half an hour later, Cheng Zizhuo slowly regained consciousness, looking at the situation before him with a wry smile.
"I'm sorry to bother you again."
Then he covered his head and said, "Hiss... It hurts, it hurts, my head hurts, I might have a concussion."
Xia Muqing frowned at him and said, "How dare you enter the alien space alone? Don't you have a more advanced communicator with you?"
Cheng Zizhuo's expression froze instantly. After a long silence, he carefully raised his head and said, "Actually... I did bring it. But it's a universal communicator for the first four districts, which won't work in the fifth district. Plus, to avoid being caught by my family, I unloaded the power supply as soon as I got in."
Xia Muqing: "...Why did your elders arrest you?"
Cheng Zizhuo: "He only let me into the first four districts, but what I want is in the fifth district."
Xia Muqing: "..."
Looking at his pitiful expression, Xia Muqing felt angry and amused at the same time. She couldn't help but ask, "Are you really a student at Yanda University? I heard that Yanda University students are all top students. How can there be someone as unreliable as you?"
Cheng Zizhuo was shocked and struggled for a moment between embarrassing himself and embarrassing his alma mater, and decisively chose the former.
"Actually, I'm the weakest in our class," he said decisively. "I'm ranked last in the grade and get beaten every day... It's really miserable."
