Lu Nanzhe really wanted to say that they weren't actually that close.
But he dared not; his intuition told him not to say it.
Because it's useless to say anything; not only will the book be lost, but the other person will also be remembered.
After a brief standoff, he reluctantly handed the book to Chu Zhou.
At the same time, he added, "Be careful. This kind of book is very precious. If you damage it, you won't be able to buy another one. There are only a handful of these books on the entire continent. Only established families might have such a collection."
Once Chu Zhou got the book, he couldn't wait to flip through it and didn't want to pay any more attention to him.
The meaning is clear: now that they've got the book, Lu Nanzhe, this tool, is no longer needed.
Seeing that Chu Zhou had taken the treasure book, Lin Qianqian did not go forward again.
She should discuss with Yunze whether to use a fishing hook or a net to catch the creatures in Tianchi. In any case, they should bring some up to try first.
At this moment, the silver swordfish that had been swimming leisurely in the Heavenly Lake seemed to be disturbed by their voices.
It swam quickly in the lake, and the faster it swam, the faster it went.
Before long, countless fish leaped one or two meters out of the water.
As the fish leaped, countless ice arrows of varying lengths shot out of the water and hurtled towards them.
The attacks were fast and dense; apart from Yun Ze, Lin Qianqian, and Zhang Laodao, no one else had time to dodge and was about to be pierced through the heart.
Yunze reacted the fastest. With a wave of his hand, he swept everyone except Lin Qianqian behind him.
A spiritual energy shield immediately rose up, protecting everyone.
Lin Qianqian was already standing next to Yun Ze, so she didn't need to move much to be within the protective range of the spiritual energy shield.
Besides, with her skills, she wouldn't need Yunze's protection to be harmed by such an attack.
A barrage of ice arrows crashed into the transparent spiritual energy shield, leaving the others inside feeling shaken.
If it weren't for Yunze, those with lower cultivation levels would definitely not have escaped; they would have been injured even if they hadn't died.
The clanging sounds continued incessantly. Look at the ice arrows that had pierced more than ten centimeters into the hard ground, and then look at the waves of fish leaping out of the water above Tianchi Lake.
"We need to deal with those fish first before the ice arrows will stop. I'll go take care of them!"
"Then be careful, and try not to kill those fish if possible, since they are all good stuff."
As Lin Qianqian spoke, she released the soft smoke gauze on her wrist.
The soft silk ribbon wrapped around her wrist instantly grew longer and wider, flying outside Yunze's spiritual energy shield and completely surrounding them.
Countless ice arrows shattered upon contact with the rapidly spinning soft smoke, their energy levels being completely different; they broke upon contact.
Yunze then withdrew his spiritual energy shield and vanished instantly.
Lin Qianqian used her divine sense to observe the situation outside through the soft silk gauze.
Yunze flashed to the lakeside. When the silver swordfish in the Heavenly Pool saw that there were still humans daring to approach them, its body flashed with silver light and another volley of ice arrows shot towards Yunze.
Yunze ignored the ice arrows flying towards him, raised his hand and snapped his fingers, shattering the ice arrows into pieces that scattered on the ground.
Then, bring your right index and middle fingers together and gently tap the surface of the lake.
The water surface of Tianchi Lake began to flow slowly clockwise, gradually forming a whirlpool.
The silver swordfish leaping on the surface of the pond, along with a small number of sword lotuses, were swept into the whirlpool by the current.
The silver swordfish no longer cared about attacking the two-legged beasts by the Heavenly Pool. It struggled and jumped desperately, trying to break free from the whirlpool's pull, but all to no avail.
The whirlpool then spun faster and faster, rising higher and higher before slowly detaching itself from the pool water.
Yunze lightly raised two fingers, and the vortex flew towards the edge of the pool.
With a "thud," a pile of fish and flowers fell in front of the soft gauze curtain.
Yunze unleashed another sword aura towards Tianchi. The sword aura swept across the surface of the pool, and the invisible pressure made all the silver swordfish in the pool feel threatened with death.
They all swam quickly to the bottom and hid among the coral reefs.
Even the sword-like lotus on the pond's surface dared not drift freely.
Lin Qianqian kept an eye on the outside movements with her divine sense. Seeing that the crisis had temporarily passed, she put away the Soft Smoke Silk so that everyone could see what was happening outside.
Chu Zhou was the first to rush out to observe the creatures on the ground.
Lin Qianqian watched as the fish that had fallen to the ground opened and closed its mouth, occasionally bobbing its body as if trying to jump back into the water.
Some were still flashing with silver light. As the silver light flickered, mini ice arrows were condensed, but they fell to the ground before they could float in the air.
As expected, a fish is still a fish. No matter if it has superpowers or is of a high level, it is just a dead fish once it leaves the water.
After a while, the fish could no longer condense ice arrows.
Lin Qianqian picked up the fish closest to her. It was silver and about 20 or 30 centimeters long. Its body was shaped like a small sword. If you didn't look closely at its eyes and its opening and closing mouth, you would think it was a toy.
The fish's body resembles a sword, and its weapon is an arrow. It's truly peculiar—one fish with two swords (arrows).
Having experienced so much these past few days, no matter how bizarre the outfit, it doesn't bother her anymore.
Now she only focuses on the quality of the fish, level 75!
Excellent! It's almost lunchtime anyway. I originally wanted to have hot pot, but now I can add grilled fish.
I haven't encountered any unpalatable Qionglin creatures along the way, so this fish must be delicious too.
Then look at the ice-blue crystal lotus flowers on the ground. Each flower has nine petals, and its body is wrapped with silver threads that shimmer with silver light. The flowers are exquisitely beautiful and of extraordinary value.
I wonder if this sword-shaped lotus is better eaten raw, or made into a dessert?
Why don't we let Yunze do some research? He's sure he can make something that looks good and tastes delicious!
Lin Qianqian took out several large buckets, each a meter tall, and filled them with water from Tianchi Lake.
Just as she was about to pick up the fish and flowers from the ground and put them into the bucket, something unexpected happened.
For some reason, although there was thick snow all the way up the mountain, the snow on the top of Tianchi Lake was only a thin layer.
The ground suddenly began to freeze, or rather, the snow melted and froze, changing in the blink of an eye.
Moments later, some people's feet were frozen to the ground.
Chu Zhou shouted, "The Sword Lotus has changed color!"
As everyone looked, they saw that the originally icy blue sword lotus on the ground began to turn transparent, becoming transparent crystal flowers.
The surrounding temperature plummeted, threatening to freeze people into ice sculptures.
Seeing this, Lin Qianqian and Yun Ze acted simultaneously, one of them scooping up the fish on the ground and throwing them into the bucket. The fish came back to life as soon as they entered the bucket, swimming happily again, no longer daring to fire ice arrows at them.
Another one rolled the sword-like lotus on the ground into a bucket. As soon as the sword-like lotus entered the bucket and touched the water of the Heavenly Pool, it stopped becoming transparent, and at the same time, the ground stopped freezing.
It is obvious that the culprits behind all this are either the fish or the flowers.
Since the possibility of a sword-born lotus is more likely, you can look it up to find out the specifics.
Lin Qianqian asked Chu Zhou to check the Qionglin Treasure Book, but there was no detailed record of this situation in the Qionglin Treasure Book.
Everyone could only look back at Lu Nanzhe.
Lu Nanzhe realized what was happening and jumped up and down, saying, "Don't look at me, I don't know what happened either. The Qionglin Encyclopedia isn't omnipotent. There are thousands of delicacies and creatures in Qionglin, tens of thousands of low-level ones alone, and hundreds or thousands of high-level ones, though rarer. How could it possibly record every single one in detail? It's already quite good that you can find the basic information."
Sure enough, he couldn't be relied on when it mattered most!
