Indeed, if that monster were to wake up, we would probably be doomed.
I still have some hesitation in my heart.
Or should I go with him?
I looked at Yiyi beside me; she looked tired, and her eyes were bloodshot.
This is clearly caused by overwork.
Seeing the girl in this state, I couldn't help but feel sorry for her.
However, this feeling sometimes vanishes in an instant, as if my body is trying its best to suppress it.
This is a bit puzzling to me. I was clearly the one who was hijacked and instructed.
I don't know how many things that girl took from me.
But no matter what, in the beginning I was supposed to find energy for her so that Yiyi's body could recover.
Given the current situation, should we hide out for now, just to be on the safe side?
"no!"
The sound of lightning striking the sword suddenly entered my mind, exploding like fireworks.
At that moment, the lightning sword was about half a meter above my head, shaking wildly.
They looked as if they had sensed some kind of danger.
I mentally cursed him first before asking him what he had discovered.
“Master, something’s not right with this man. I just got a little closer to sense him, and the smell on him is definitely the smell of dried blood after killing scabies mites. But that broken staff of his… I feel like something’s not right.”
Lei Jijian shared his thoughts, saying that he was always like this, and his sensory abilities were slightly stronger than mine.
And the scope of what he felt was broader than mine.
Sometimes, I think this lightning sword is like a shrewd fool.
He possesses a relatively strong perceptual ability; it can be said that all five senses have been developed.
However, he is rather reckless or hesitant on some crucial matters.
But this same guy has saved me from danger so many times.
Following his words, I looked at the man's cane, and indeed, the patterns painted on it were somewhat strange.
But I can't quite put my finger on why, there was just a very eerie atmosphere overall.
A few patterns are nothing, but the patterns all over his walking stick give me a very uncomfortable feeling.
At this moment, the lightning sword continued to remind him from behind his head.
“Master! Be careful. Even if we don’t get into the safe distance he mentioned, we can definitely hide around here for the night.”
To be honest, given Lei Jijian's personality, he's most likely to resort to opportunism in situations like this.
However, even he was very vigilant at this moment, and I realized that this man was definitely not a simple person.
"I always see you, Master, jumping into the fire!"
The Thunder Strike Sword's voice trembled slightly at this moment, and the entire sword blade was also trembling slightly.
"Director, you trusted the wrong person last time. That businessman almost trapped us completely. Now, we don't know if this man is friend or foe, but we absolutely cannot trust him easily!"
Although Lei Jijian's words made a lot of sense, the sunlight was indeed becoming increasingly scarce.
I'm a little scared that when there's really no sunlight, this area of the sea might change.
In other words, I'm afraid that things will become even more bizarre by then!
Rather than doing that, I'd rather believe this guy now.
Despite some of his suspicious aspects, I could sense that he still harbored some goodwill.
Otherwise, they wouldn't have given us freshly dried water to drink.
As I watched the sunlight dwindle, my fingertips began to rub together incessantly.
In situations like this, finding a safe place might be more important!
However, I still told Yiyi everything that the Thunder Strike Sword had conveyed to me.
If Yiyi knows this information, she can think of some solutions as well.
"Brother, that's not a problem. Whether they're friend or foe, we can go and take a look first. But from my perspective, this person seems quite friendly!"
Yi Yi spoke slowly, and then the girl also looked at the rays of sunlight that were forming as they shone through.
Immediately afterwards, Yiyi moved closer to me and said something that only the two of us could hear.
"Brother, there's something I must tell you: the water here flows faster than during the day."
Compared to daytime?
Does that mean Yiyi can determine the approximate time?
I told her my question, and Yiyi gave me a simple explanation.
Under normal circumstances, Yiyi is able to discern the passage of time by relying on the speed of the water flow.
The speed is gradually increasing, and the time should be changing from evening to night.
If it really gets to midnight, she might be able to gather some strength again under the cover of darkness.
If that's the case, that would be wonderful!
Hearing this, I felt even more excited.
If we could restore some of the girl's energy, she probably wouldn't be a match for the people in front of us.
After all, as one of the major powers in the entire manor, I still take Yiyi's strength to heart.
Seeing my reaction, the girl took two steps forward and continued to check the road ahead.
At that moment, the man suddenly moved and slowly walked over from beside the reef, his gaze falling on the two of us.
He first glanced at me, while I stared at him with complete seriousness.
Then, his gaze fell on Yiyi, from head to toe, which made me very wary!
Finally, the man's gaze fell on Yiyi's pocket.
"If I'm not mistaken, what you have in your pocket is probably some kind of Dew-Gathering Branch. Judging by its quality, it should be a pretty good variety."
Hearing this, I was slightly taken aback.
Not only me, but Yiyi, who was next to me, also showed a shocked expression.
Yiyi and I quickly glanced at each other and frowned almost simultaneously.
Yiyi subconsciously reached for her right pocket, her fingertips slowly pressing against the slightly folded dew-covered branch inside.
My eyes followed it closely, and there it was, stuck in my pocket, but not very noticeable.
This man has such sharp eyes that he caught it in an instant?
"How do you know? Do you even understand this?"
Yiyi asked the man in disbelief.
This person then took two steps forward, maintaining a moderate distance, and then confidently pointed to the dew-covered branch in Yiyi's pocket.
He smiled and pointed to the dew-covered branch, but didn't approach it.
"Let me introduce myself. My name is Lan Jia. This Dew-Gathering Branch was originally a renowned treasure of our family!"
