"Sister, Brother Yang is only doing this for your own good, so don't complain." Xu Qingqing came over and tugged at Xu Qianqian's sleeve. "Sister, if we do more tasks, we can get more rewards."
"We're running low on supplies, so doing more missions to earn rewards would be a good idea, don't you think?"
Xu Qingqing patiently persuaded Xu Qianqian, afraid that she would throw a tantrum.
Back when they were still on Earth, her parents doted on both of them. She was a little better off, but her older sister was completely spoiled.
Therefore, Xu Qianqian is quite spoiled now. If you coax her a little, she will be more normal and won't say anything.
If things don't go her way, Xu Qianqian will start to throw a tantrum, so Xu Qingqing can only stay by her side and coax her with kind words.
Although Xu Qianqian was getting a little impatient, Xu Qingqing's words made sense, so she could only wave her hand and say, "Okay, okay."
The three of them soon arrived at the edge of Mirror Lake.
"Hey, there's a pond over there. I'm going to wash my face. My face is so itchy from all that dandelion stuff." Xu Qianqian was pleasantly surprised when she saw Mirror Lake Pond and immediately ran over.
Xu Qingqing was startled and quickly pulled Xu Qianqian back, "Sister, that pool looks a bit strange, you'd better not go over there yet."
But Xu Qianqian's foot had already stepped within three feet, and the water monster in Mirror Lake Pool rushed out again.
"Sister!!!" Xu Qingqing's pupils shrank when she saw what rushed out of the Mirror Lake Pool, and she quickly reached out to pull Xu Qianqian back.
Xu Qianqian also saw the water monster rushing out of Mirror Lake Pool and retreated backward with Xu Qingqing's force.
Cheng Yang immediately threw the weapon in his hand, which hit the water monster on the head.
But this action angered the water monster.
The water monster roared and charged towards Xu Qianqian and the others, as if it wouldn't stop until it killed them.
"Awooo!!!"
The water monster was very fast, so fast that it frightened Xu Qingqing and the others.
At this moment, they did not realize that the water monster in front of them was different from the crocodiles on Earth, and thought it was just an ordinary crocodile.
"Qingqing, take Qianqian and run far away. I'll find a way to kill this crocodile, and we'll eat crocodile meat tonight!" Cheng Yang's tone was quite arrogant.
Since the water monster has lived for so long, it can naturally understand some human speech.
Unfortunately, it understood what Cheng Yang said.
How could a lake monster be merciful to those who covet its flesh and blood?
Ignore those two who look like they have very little meat on them.
Despite its bulky appearance, the water monster is actually quite agile. Just as Cheng Yang's weapon was about to strike it, the water monster nimbly dodged Cheng Yang's attack.
Xu Qianqian and Xu Qingqing couldn't just stand by and watch, so they picked up their weapons and joined forces to fight the water monster.
The water monster was furious and lashed out with its tail.
Unfortunately, Xu Qianqian was standing within the attack range of the water monster's tail and was directly swatted away.
"ah--"
Xu Qianqian's lower back slammed into a tree, and she fell heavily to the ground.
Xu Qianqian lay on the ground, clutching her waist in pain, her face contorted in agony.
"Sister!!" Xu Qingqing was a little anxious, but the water monster also set its sights on her, seemingly thinking that she looked weak and easy to manipulate.
Cheng Yang was also getting anxious. He had underestimated the water monster's attack power, and now he was finding it difficult to keep up.
"Xu Qingqing, take Xu Qianqian and run!" Cheng Yang shouted, taking out his last life-saving item from his backpack.
That was a bomb card that he had finally managed to obtain.
The three of them weren't very lucky; the cards they got weren't very good. This was the best card he got.
Xu Qingqing didn't dare to delay. She rushed to Xu Qianqian's side, picked her up, and quickly retreated.
Xu Qianqian's waist was pulled by Xu Qingqing's movement, and the intense pain almost made her cry out.
But she knew that Xu Qingqing was doing this to save her, so she endured it.
After the two ran away, Cheng Yang seized the opportunity, crushed the explosion card, and threw it at the water monster.
A huge explosion came from the water monster.
Taking advantage of the opening, Cheng Yang immediately ran towards Xu Qianqian and the others.
After the smoke from the explosion cleared, they saw the water monster staring menacingly in the direction they had fled, its eyes bloodshot.
Shen Zhiyi remained hidden in the shadows, her brows furrowed deeply.
This is bad. Judging from the way the water monster looks now, it will be difficult for her to get what she wants from Mirror Lake.
Shen Zhiyi had intended to help them, but when she saw Cheng Yang's underhanded tactics, she stopped herself.
It seems this Cheng Yang isn't a good person either.
Indeed, in this kind of environment, who would want to take care of a spoiled young lady who knows nothing?
The water monster slowly retreated back into Mirror Lake, its head floating on the surface for a while before sinking back into the lake.
Shen Zhiyi emerged from the shadows, staring in the direction of Mirror Lake Pool, pondering how to lure the water monster out and retrieve the item from the pool.
There is a purple bamboo in Mirror Lake Pool. As the name suggests, it is a purple bamboo. However, this one only grows in Mirror Lake Pool. There is no such thing anywhere else.
That water monster can be considered a companion beast of Zizhu.
Before Shen Zhiyi could come up with a useful solution, someone nudged her from behind.
Shen Zhiyi turned around abruptly and grabbed the person who had poked her, only to find that it was the little jellyfish that had returned.
"Didn't you leave? Why are you back?" Shen Zhiyi released her grip on the little jellyfish.
Little Jellyfish was taken aback by Shen Zhiyi's strong reaction.
After calming down, she whispered, "Last night when I was sleeping, I suddenly remembered that the water monster liked a certain kind of fruit, so I went to pick some."
The little jellyfish also had a bag tied to its body, which was bulging and filled with the fruit that the little jellyfish had mentioned.
Shen Zhiyi remained silent for a long time before finally reaching out to touch the little jellyfish's head. It seemed that she had misunderstood.
"Next time you can just tell us directly. I thought you wanted to leave on your own."
The little jellyfish hadn't interacted with anyone for a long time, and upon hearing this, it realized that its act of secretly running away was wrong.
The little jellyfish lowered its head, not daring to look at Shen Zhiyi's face.
"Alright, I'm not blaming you." Shen Zhiyi took the bag off the little jellyfish and weighed it in her hand.
She then looked at the little jellyfish, wondering how the little thing had managed to bring so many fruits over.
Fox Moon came over and took the little jellyfish aside to play with.
Shen Zhiyi moved a little closer to Mirror Lake and threw a fruit into it.
