After dodging, Xiao Yanchu raised his sword and thrust it towards the human-faced snake.
The human-faced snake cleverly dodged away and turned to bite Su Ruojin.
"Whoosh~ Whoosh~ Whoosh~"
Su Ruojin used three needles simultaneously.
The human-faced snake twisted its body and dodged them all, then lay on the stone wall watching the two of them.
Su Ruojin saw mockery in its eyes, and it seemed to provoke the two of them by letting out two more "waaaa" sounds.
That damned snake!
After the snake with the human face stopped hissing, it pounced again.
After several rounds, it seemed to realize that Su Ruojin was easier to bully than the other two.
So they changed their strategy, ignoring Xiao Yanchu and rushing straight towards Su Ruojin.
Su Ruojin had almost used up her silver needles and was forced back to the edge of the pool by the human-faced snake.
She threw out the last three needles in her hand, and the human-faced snake, as always, twisted its waist to dodge, then roared and leaped up to attack Su Ruojin's face.
The speed was so fast that even Xiao Yanchu, who was only two steps away from Su Ruojin, was powerless to help.
At that moment, Su Ruojin had no choice but to fall backward.
Splash~~~
His entire body fell into the pool.
What seemed like a shallow pool before turned into a deep slump for Su Ruojin after she fell in.
During the fall, Su Ruojin had only one feeling: cold!
It's colder than falling into a pool full of ice.
This kind of cold doesn't slowly seep in through clothes and skin; it penetrates directly into the bone marrow, then radiates cold outwards from the bone marrow, creating a double attack with the cold outside.
In just a moment, Su Ruojin felt her hands and feet become numb from the cold.
They had taken water from this pool yesterday and didn't feel it was very cold.
It wasn't until she fell into the pool that she realized it was layered. The water temperature on the top layer was similar to that of ordinary stream water, but the bottom layer was extremely cold, as if it had absorbed all the cold air from the cave.
Upon seeing Su Ruojin fall into the pool, Xiao Yanchu jumped in without hesitation.
The human-faced snake, unable to stop itself after taking flight, also fell into the water.
The low temperature of the pool instantly rendered it unable to move, and like a dead snake, it slowly sank to the bottom of the pool.
Su Ruojin tried her best to swim in the water to avoid falling into a coma due to the low water temperature.
Xiao Yanchu grabbed her and swam upwards with all his might until they reached the surface.
Unlike Xiao Yanchu, Su Ruojin had no internal energy. Her lips were purple from the cold, and she was trembling all over, unable to utter a single word.
Xiao Yanchu hurriedly took off his outer garment and wrapped it around Su Ruojin, then gathered dry wood to start a fire.
After finishing everything, looking at the little girl who was still trembling, Xiao Yanchu hugged her tightly, took her hands, which were so dark that even her fingernails were purple, and put them to his mouth, breathing on them and rubbing them to warm them up as quickly as possible.
About half an hour later, Su Ruojin slowly recovered and her body stopped trembling. She looked at Xiao Yanchu, who had a worried expression, and said, "I know where the volcanic rock toad is."
Xiao Yanchu was stunned when he heard this.
Su Ruojin continued, "I need to take another dip in the water."
"No, that won't do!" Xiao Yanchu firmly disagreed.
The water temperature was so low. Su Ruojin had been frozen so badly before and had only just recovered. How could we let her go back into the water?
"I'm fine, really. The volcanic rock toad is at the bottom of the water, I have to go." Su Ruojin got up and was about to walk towards the pool when Xiao Yanchu stopped her.
"Ah Jin, if anyone should go, it should be me. Just tell me how to find the volcanic rock toad."
"Going there won't do you any good! The underwater formation is a Bagua array; you can't break it."
As soon as Su Ruojin fell into the water, she could vaguely see a red light in the water, and there were also eight water-like stones in the water.
At first glance, they were just ordinary water-emulsion stones, but after Su Ruojin got ashore, her mind was filled with the layout of these eight water-emulsion stones.
