Chapter 22 Hurricane Season 22 Conquer the giant turtle and meet senior brother by chance.
Before I could be shocked, a strong branch came sweeping over!
Jiang Runian reacted very quickly and dodged the attack with a light jump, while the young man stepped on it accurately and broke the branch with his bare hands.
Jiang Runian: “…”
What a man with strong limbs but simple mind.
She suddenly remembered a question that should have been asked long ago: "What's your name?"
The young man looked around meticulously, his voice as cold as ice on a snowy mountain: "Sui Yan."
"Sui Yan?" She repeated subconsciously, "It sounds pretty good."
The entire Longnan Lake area is full of greenery. The vegetation on the shore grows extremely lush. The weeds are up to the waist of the river, and the trees are so lush that they block out the sun. If they were not covered with a layer of strange green mist, it would be a beautiful sight. It is clearly hurricane season, but there is no wind here. The vegetation stands lifelessly in the soil, not like living things, but like corpses nailed to the cross. Even with the heavy clouds, the faint fluorescence is clearly visible. The whole picture is so quiet and green that it hurts the eyes, harmonious but weird.
The only thing that has escaped the green is Longnan Lake.
The lake water was still clear and blue, with occasional floating algae visible. The bottom was deep, as if it could swallow up all the light, and there seemed to be some treasure hidden there.
Jiang Ruonian held his breath and rubbed his arms: "...I've been here for a long time, I won't turn green too."
Sui Yan shook his head slightly: "Unless infected by alien creatures, there will be no problem in the short term."
Hearing this, she still did not let down her guard.
After seeing Sui Yan walking forward with big strides and breathing naturally, I slowly felt the slightly sweet smell in the air.
Longnan Lake is estimated to be as large as the entire southwest border. It is also lifeless, without a ripple. The lake surface is so calm that not a single pebble on the shore can be wetted. The lakeshore is winding, alternating between gentle and steep. It is endless and I don’t know when I will find it.
But looking around, the turtle that Sui Yan mentioned could only be hiding in Longnan Lake.
Jiang Runian clenched the Emei Spear in his sleeve and continued to search carefully along the lakeside, rustling in the messy weeds.
Sui Yan followed her closely, doing his duty for the 200-coin order. The green mist did not make him look ugly, but made him look as clean as a piece of white jade. He had an upright posture and focused eyes. He was different from Liu Yinshuang's handsomeness and his second senior brother's coquettishness. He had a kind of beauty that transcended gender and was suitable for both men and women.
Jiang Ru Nian did not hold back her burning admiration. Sui Yan's eyes turned and asked, "Is there something behind me?"
"No, I'm just curious," she smiled, with a rare hint of teasing in her voice, "You're so pretty, and you can show up in public... Why did you hide in the forest that night? Why don't you come back to Qingshan Inn with me and have a good meal?"
Sui Yan paused slightly, as if he was thinking carefully.
He downplayed it: "That day, I was covered in blood."
This time it was Jiang Ruunian's turn to stop.
Is it because there is blood on your body and you don’t want to scare others that you don’t want to walk into the light?
A familiar scene came to her mind, and the feeling of drowning came over her again. Jiang Ruonian suddenly closed her eyes and sat down on the nearest stone beside her. She fumbled for sweets in her backpack in panic, but couldn't find any.
At this time, a faint fruity fragrance penetrated into the nose.
She calmed down a little, opened her eyes, and saw a piece of fruit-flavored hard candy that had been cut into pieces.
Sui Yan briefly explained: "I picked it up in the town."
"...You're going to give me the ones you picked up?" Jiang Runian sighed, but still accepted the candy and put it in his bag. He exchanged it for two strings of candied haws, one for each person, "One candy for one candy."
She supported herself on the stone beneath her to straighten her body and sat more upright.
Suddenly, the stone seemed to move slightly.
She looked down with a little confusion. The surface of the gray "stone" was rough, but it was obviously covered with a complete layer of skin.
Jiang Runian: “…”
Suiyan: "..."
Before the two of them could dodge, a huge shadow had already covered their feet!
She suddenly turned around - what was she sitting on? It was the tail of a giant turtle! Whose turtle was so gray and wearing a petrified camouflage suit?
The giant's body was like a mountain, its shell covered with thick moss and dripping with lake water. It slowly turned its head, staring at Jiang Runian with a pair of deep eyes as big as lanterns.
Above its head, a line of blood-red text floated: [Longnan Yuanxu HP? ? ? /? ? ? ]
Blood volume or question mark?
Jiang Runian just realized that there were three question marks on his head!
Jiang Runian quickly stood up, stroked Longnan Yuanxu's big tail, and tried to communicate with it gently: "Turtle, we are not here to beat you, we just want to..."
"Roar!!" A deafening roar.
The tail, which was thicker than two people hugging together, suddenly slammed down, stabbed deeply into the ground, and after swinging a few times, it uprooted a large area of vegetation, and the ground instantly sank into a terrifying hole! Then, Longnan Yuanxu took a deep breath, opened his big mouth full of mucus, and madly sprayed a strong stream of water at Jiang Runnian and Sui Yan, trying to roll them into the hole and bury them!
Fortunately, he remembered the way when he was walking along the lake just now. Jiang Ruonian held Sui Yan with one hand to block the water, and with the other hand he grabbed a vine farther away, using the thick trees as cover, and groped his way to the other side of the lake.
Longnan Yuanxu was in an extremely excited state and could not listen to Jiang Runian's words at all. Although Sui Yan was quite powerful, he could not fight it head-on by himself, not to mention that Jiang Runian wanted a living creature.
The only way now is to conquer it.
Jiang Runian hid behind a tree, wiped the water droplets off his face, and stared closely at the mad Longnan Yuanxu.
No wonder Sui Yan said that this is what she wanted.
Although Longnan Yuanxu is an mutated monster, unlike Xiaobai and the green-eyed bird, his mutated crystal core is exposed in a conspicuous place.
Only when Longnan Yuanxu stands up and sprays water can Jiang Runian see the green crystal core hidden in its abdomen. Ordinary people can't find it at all, so it won't scare the players.
Jiang Runian was still thinking about countermeasures when she suddenly discovered that Sui Yan beside her had pulled out a sharp dagger from his leg ring.
"No!" She whispered, pressing down Sui Yan's hand, "We have no advantage in fighting on the water."
Sui Yan looked at her: "I can lead it up."
Yes!
Sui Yan’s special ability is flash!
Jiang Ruonian patted his shoulder and said, "Be careful."
However, no matter how Sui Yan tried, Longnan Yuanxu refused to leave the waters where it was.
The situation was critical. Longnan Yuanxu's tail was about to hit her hiding place. Jiang Runian suddenly thought of a clever idea and shouted to the distance: "Sui Yan! Ride on its neck and control it, just for a while!"
Sui Yan, like a robot that would execute perfectly as long as it was given an order, immediately jumped onto Longnan Yuanxu's neck and pressed the dagger against it. Longnan Yuanxu was greatly frightened and swung his body around frantically, his attention completely attracted by Sui Yan.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Jiang Ruunian hid among the weeds and sneaked into the lake.
The icy cold and familiar fear instantly climbed up every nerve in her body, but she didn't care about that. She just dived down desperately, opening her eyes wide to search - Longnan Yuanxu's reaction just now didn't seem like he wanted to kill them, but wanted to drive away the invader.
She guessed that there was something it was guarding under the water.
After diving for an unknown amount of time, she finally found a nest of turtle eggs and a tiny turtle that had already hatched from its shell.
And... this little turtle is gray and has no crystal core in its abdomen.
Not only that, the water plants and seaweed at the bottom of the lake are much more normal than the plants on the ground and have not been affected by environmental alienation.
Longnan Yuanxu...is protecting her children?
Without thinking too much, Jiang Runian choked on the lake water, quickly picked up the little turtle, soothed its shell, grabbed Longnan Yuanxu's thick tail, and climbed up with difficulty. The little turtle left the lake and cried softly, which made Longnan Yuanxu even more excited! Diving caused Jiang Runian to consume too much physical and mental energy. The turtle shell was originally smooth and moist, and even if he crawled forward, it was difficult to resist its crazy shaking amplitude.
Just then, her feet were empty!
Emei Pierced Out His Sleeve, Jiang Ruunian gritted his teeth, and used all his strength to pierce into the turtle shell, holding the little turtle and swinging it in the air.
Fortunately, Sui Yan was there too. He grabbed her wrist, pulled her into his arms, and sat on her neck.
Jiang Ru Nian suppressed his disordered mind, and his clear voice floated in the wind: "Longnan Yuanxu! I have a way to save your babies from alienation!"
After hearing these words, Longnan Yuanxu's movements obviously hesitated.
Jiang Ruonian struck while the iron was hot: "I will take you to a place that is absolutely safe, where your baby will grow up healthy and safe."
Longnan Yuanxu calmed down a little, but was still hesitant and let out a hoarse roar.
She pointed at the surroundings, her high voice trembling slightly, "The environment here is rotten to the core. Even at the bottom of the lake, alienation is a matter of time! Do you want to let those little turtles stay in the water forever? Sooner or later, they will grow up, become like you, and realize that they are monsters!"
These words seemed to completely extinguish Longnan Yuanxu's anger.
It gradually bent down, its deep eyes closed and opened again, revealing a trace of sorrow.
Sui Yan sat behind him and listened silently.
He lowered his head, his eyes fixed on Jiang Ruonian's slightly trembling eyelashes.
Finally, Longnan Yuanxu sighed deeply.
It slowly climbed ashore, and carefully scooped up a nest of babies from the bottom of the water with its huge tail and handed them to Jiang Runian.
Holding the cute little turtle egg, Jiang Ruonian breathed a sigh of relief: "Let's go! Let's go back from Shuguang Town and show off my new mount!"
Longnan Yuanxu and Sui Yan obeyed her arrangements unconditionally. One of them moved so fast that he broke the stereotype of turtles, while the other sat behind her without saying a word, carefully picking out the dirty algae and seaweed on her body.
Jiang Runian looked up at the sky.
Really efficient, it’s only afternoon.
Well, she is indeed a good person. She stretched herself lazily.
Suddenly, just as they were about to leave the green mist in the Longnan Lake area, they heard their ears move: "There's someone."
Very obvious footsteps, not disguised at all.
And it was heavy and messy, like someone carrying something heavy and in a hurry...
Besides the two of them, what other lunatic would come to this damn place?
Jiang Runian's guard, which had just been let down, was raised again. She turned around with caution - only to see a charming man in a snow-green gown carrying a basket of herbs and waving at her passionately.
"Junior sister? Is it Junior sister?"
“…”
The "lunatic" spoke in a weak voice. He even fell down when he hurriedly ran to Longnan Yuanxu, shedding delicate tears: "Junior sister, don't you recognize me? I am your long-lost second brother, Feng Yuechen..."
