After staying in R City for a week, Xiao Yu and Zhou Yanzhi set out west again. This time, they were accompanied by Su Lin and the other party's bodyguard team.
There are about 20 to 30 people with their families.
In order to be able to smoothly enter the transformed Kunlun Mountains, a few more people joined the team, who were said to be local guides who had been in and out of Kunlun Mountains seven times.
"...It's strange to say, overnight, a lotus lake stretching as far as the eye can see appeared over there. And unless you enter that valley, you'll never find it."
"...The weirdest thing is that flying over the lotus pond is prohibited. Not only can birds not fly over it, but even drones and other equipment are not allowed to fly over it."
"Yes, yes, that mysterious Lotus Lake has only been around for a short time, so no official forces have settled there yet. The few small forces that entered previously haven't emerged yet."
"Many of our locals believe that the Lotus Lake is the legendary Yaochi." As night fell, several guides passionately told stories to the bodyguards gathered around the campfire.
But obviously not everyone trusts them.
A bodyguard retorted rudely, "If this is Yaochi, there must be monsters there, right? Besides, how can the gods tolerate human desecration of their things? I'm afraid you'll be wiped out before you even get close."
Another bodyguard smiled faintly, "I once read a ghost story about a kind of ghost minions. After being parasitized by a higher species, they will transform back into their original form to lure their own kind and feed on them. What do you think of this story, Guide Liu?"
Several guides: "..."
☆
On the twentieth day after the "Storytelling Session", Xiao Yu and his party, led by a guide, experienced a long and arduous journey, many hardships and dangers, and finally saw the legendary Lotus Lake in a valley among thousands of mountains.
This Lotus Lake was indeed as huge as the guides had said, and it was surrounded by mist, making it impossible to see the edge.
The strangest thing was that when they were gazing at the Lotus Lake and sighing, everyone's eyes blurred and they all appeared on the large lotus leaves.
"Patta, patta--" While Xiao Yu was distracted, dozens of incredibly fast "carts" swarmed out from the endless green lotus stems of the "sky-covering" lotus leaves.
Something very similar to a pond strider.
The reason why Xiao Yu called them "push carts" was that these little tricycle-riding hooligans looked very similar at first glance to the small mosquitoes that could "float on water" that he saw in the pond in his hometown when he was a child.
The difference is that the "cart pushers" at that time were as small as big ants; while the water striders in front of him were each as big as an adult dog and had a strange appearance.
Their main body is dark blue, with a long tail like a scorpion's tail hanging from their buttocks. Their body and head are connected together, like an enlarged version of a cicada pupa with two slender wings and six slender legs. There are no eyes or nose on their round head, only a big mouth full of fangs and drooling.
☆
"Only a creator of such abstract ideas could create such a monster." Xiao Yu, who had already seen many bizarre beasts, was actually quite accepting of the water strider's appearance. However, as these creatures floated lightly among the thick lotus stems, their saliva left a rustling sound and emitted black smoke wherever it landed.
poisonous!
Although it seems that the poison did not corrode the water lily leaves, what would happen when dozens of water striders spit together?
☆
"Puff——" The verification came too quickly.
Almost as soon as Xiao Yu finished his thought, more than twenty or thirty water striders spit at him.
Black liquid sprayed onto the protective shield that suddenly rose from the lotus leaf, and black smoke curled up with a hissing sound.
Xiao Yu stared at the protective shield on the lotus leaf in a daze, but did not retract his spiritual defense. Even if this thing couldn't hurt anyone for the time being, the image was so beautiful that it made his scalp tingle!
It wasn't over after spitting. Seeing that the saliva was blocked by the protective shield, more than 20 water striders screamed and rushed forward and jumped onto the top of the protective shield.
They waved their long legs, banged on the protective shield violently, and opened their big mouths full of fangs and saliva like a boss to intimidate the people in the protective shield.
Seeing the people in the protective shield frowning, the monsters excitedly used the half-meter-long tails behind their butts to whip the protective shield fiercely.
Xiao Yu: -_-||Why do I feel like I’m being harassed?
☆
"Swish, swish, swish..." Several sword energies attacked, and the water strider, which was as arrogant as a second-rate guy, broke into pieces and rolled off the protective shield of the lotus leaf. The drool left behind was like water droplets, quickly rolling into the water under the lotus leaf.
Xiao Yu looked in the direction where the sword energy came from and saw Zhou Yanzhi jumping over several lotus leaves and coming towards him.
"Where's Sulin?"
Zhou Yanzhi hugged Xiao Yu's waist and kissed the top of his head: "He shouldn't be here. Let's go forward and have a look."
Xiao Yu tried to use his spiritual sense to explore, but found that although his spiritual sense seemed to have explored very far, it was actually only the size of this lotus leaf.
A light bulb suddenly lit up in his head, and he thought unconsciously: "One flower, one world; one leaf, one bodhi?"
"Probably."
“…” Since their spiritual sense could not be used, the two could only rely on physical strength to look around.
☆
Looking at the lotus leaf 'jungle', there is always a mountain higher than the next. Within the field of vision, there are 'mountains and ridges' that undulate continuously. There is no edge. Apart from the green of the lotus leaves, there is only white mist.
Xiao Yu and Zhou Yan moved the lotus leaves one by one, and the water striders appeared in groups from time to time like fleas launching sneak attacks.
