Chapter 25 025 If you say you will protect the little spirit beast, you must keep your word. ...
"Much better." Lu Qingqing rubbed her shoulders and asked softly, "Mao Rongrong, did you bring the medicine I took just now?"
The little spirit beast didn't speak.
And silence is the best answer.
"Thank you." A smile spread across his face, and his heart warmed. "What a powerful medicine! I'm afraid it's as effective as the Nine Yang Resurrection Pill."
Mao Rongrong snorted through his nose, holding his chin high, as if he was a little disdainful.
Lu Qingqing took advantage of the situation and quickly coaxed him, "Your medicine is even more powerful than the Nine Yang Resurrection Pill. It can be called a miracle drug."
She was not lying. The pain from being crushed disappeared completely after a good night's sleep. The circulation of her Qi was basically restored, and her external injuries were also healing rapidly.
Looking at it this way, it is no exaggeration to call it a miracle drug.
The little spirit beast raised its head, a gleam flashed across its emerald eyes, and its whole face was filled with a little arrogance that said "this is more like it".
Lu Qingqing was so adorable: How could this little thing have such a vivid expression? How could it be so cute? What a pity, it just won’t let you suck…
As if sensing her thoughts, Mao Rongrong narrowed his eyes and looked at her intently.
"Where is this..." Lu Qingqing coughed twice and pretended to look around, "Why is there a lake?"
That’s right, not far from the reed marsh is a huge icy lake.
A thick layer of ice completely freezes the lake's surface. Falling snow immediately turns to rain, which then freezes back into ice. The lake is surrounded by perpetually snow-capped mountains, and thick clouds hang low, creating an inexplicably oppressive atmosphere.
Upon seeing this, Lu Qingqing noticed something unusual.
This place is clearly located at the windward side of the mountains, but there is not a sound of wind. The snowflakes are so light that they fall straight down without changing any direction.
There is also a huge water source here. Not to mention the spiritual herbs, even ordinary plants are not seen except for this piece of withered yellow reed marsh.
This is very abnormal, as we used to see many tenacious and strange flowers and plants in the canyon.
Her eyebrows furrowed, and she was about to speak when she heard the little spirit beast say, "Hurry up and regulate your breathing. It's not advisable to stay here for long."
"Let's go now." Lu Qingqing said as she was about to get up, but suddenly felt dizzy.
Mao Rongrong looked at her, and a rare hint of helplessness appeared in his clear green eyes.
“…” Lu Qingqing quickly sat down cross-legged.
It seems that Mao Runrun really knows something about medicine, and it was she who acted rashly.
"You'll be back to normal in half an hour." The little spirit beast still sat with its back to her, looking towards the icy lake. "I'll protect you."
Lu Qingqing understood that the situation was not optimistic, so she said no more and closed her eyes after agreeing.
In that case, let's go into the space first and take out the Nine Yang Resurrection Pill, so as to avoid dying from not being able to take the medicine in time after the battle.
After silently reciting the four words "Space Open", a white light appeared in the dark sea of consciousness and enveloped her.
The white light disappeared, and Lu Qingqing appeared in a strange yet familiar cave.
This place seems to be more spacious than the last time I came. The gravel underfoot has disappeared and the ground has become flat; the uneven mountain walls have also become much smoother, and there are even a few quaint bronze wall lamps with complete oil wicks on them.
Lu Qingqing suddenly got inspired and lit one of the lamps with a fire starter.
Warm orange light filled a corner of the cave, bringing a bit of warmth and comfort to the cold space.
Under the light, an Eight Immortals stone table stood in the middle, surrounded by two stone benches.
The pills and books that were brought in last time were placed neatly on the stone table.
After being stunned for a while, Lu Qingqing realized that this cave had some kind of close connection with her.
As her cultivation level increases, the cave will gradually become more refined from its original crudeness.
The system once said that once one’s cultivation reaches the Golden Elixir stage, one can practice in space, which will achieve twice the result with half the effort.
She has already begun to look forward to how this space will evolve into.
But there are more pressing matters at hand.
Lu Qingqing put the Nine-Turn Resurrection Pill into her waist and quickly exited the space.
The sea of consciousness returned to darkness and calmness.
He mobilized his true energy and silently recited the mantras of the internal energy technique. In a short while, he entered a state of meditation like an old monk.
Perhaps the medicine from the little spirit beast was effective. Lu Qingqing could feel a cool and comfortable breath flowing slowly in her body along with her blood, soothing all the discomfort.
Not only that, it can also mobilize the true qi, allowing them to flow more smoothly and vigorously in the body.
The dantian felt slightly hot again, and burst out with a force even stronger than before.
Lu Qingqing was shocked.
...What a magical medicine this is. It can not only cure diseases, but also consolidate and even enhance one's skills.
Where does this little spiritual beast come from and how could it possess such a miraculous medicine?
Unfortunately, before she could figure out what was going on, her heart tightened, as if someone had grabbed her heart and squeezed it suddenly, causing her both shock and pain.
Fortunately, the breathing exercise was almost over, and Lu Qingqing suddenly opened her eyes.
The little spirit beast in front of him had already arched its body, with all the fur on its body standing up, making its body look much larger. Its tail had become twice as thick and was shaking from side to side alertly.
This is the posture before the battle.
But unlike an ordinary kitten, it didn't bare its teeth and growl. Instead, it stared at the ice quietly, emitting a calm and sharp aura.
Lu Qingqing drew out the dagger with a swipe.
Half of the rust on the sword had disappeared, revealing a mirror-like blade, which just reflected the pair of bright and lively eyes under the white gauze of the cone hat.
"What's wrong?"
She asked softly as she moved closer to the little spirit beast.
"Something's coming." The little spirit beast spoke calmly, but his words were extremely terrifying. "This place must be the territory of a high-level magical beast."
"..." Lu Qingqing's eyes almost went dark, and her first reaction was -
"Why don't you run away?"
The little spirit beast shook its head, "It's too late."
As soon as he finished speaking, a heavy roar came from the ground, and the reed marsh shook violently.
Three big words appeared in Lu Qingqing's mind: Earthquake!
As the shaking was violent, the thick ice on the lake in the distance made a loud cracking sound.
A crack suddenly appeared, and then quickly spread in all directions, leaving spider-web-like cracks on the surface of the lake.
The cracks suddenly collapsed, and huge waves gushed out and rushed towards the river bank.
It all happened so fast that Lu Qingqing only had time to burst out her strength to grab the little spirit beast, hold it over, and throw it back fiercely: Run!
She had never forgotten what Mao Rongrong had mentioned in the magic spider's cave: it had a special physique and could not go to deep water.
The little spirit beast probably didn't expect the other party to do such a thing, and was stunned for a moment.
At this moment of distraction, Lu Qingqing, who had burst out with divine power, threw it far away, and finally landed on a huge rock.
When it stood up, there was no reed marsh in front of it, it had turned into a vast ocean.
And that idiot disappeared.
…
Before, Lu Qingqing had only seen the horrific scenes of humans being swallowed by huge waves and tsunamis on TV. She didn't expect to experience it herself today.
That irresistible force invaded her. Fortunately, she had sealed her mouth, nose, and ears with her true Qi in advance, otherwise she would have been filled with water and her internal organs would have been impacted.
The ice of the lake broke, and huge waves swept her in and dragged her into the lake.
Lu Qingqing calmed herself down and slowly opened her eyes.
The water in the lake was muddy due to the huge waves, but at least you could get a general idea of it.
There was only mud and algae in the emerald green water, and no living creatures could be seen.
……wrong.
When looking down, it seemed like there was something growing at the bottom of the lake, with long brown tentacles swaying with the water flow.
Lu Qingqing also knew that the appearance of such a thing at this time must be unusual.
But the problem now is that this thing is somewhat similar to the "Ice Scorpion Grass" described by Uncle Gui.
"Its most distinctive feature is the brown tentacles on its head. They are of a very strange shape. You will be able to tell them apart if you see them, girl."
Lu Qingqing was originally skeptical about this statement, but now she has to praise Uncle Gui: You are really a man of foresight.
Now that I have been swept into the lake and saw the spiritual herb that seems to be my target, I feel reluctant not to go and take a look.
After a brief hesitation, Lu Qingqing stuffed a breath-holding pill into her mouth, held the sword in her hand, and slowly approached the target.
The visibility in the lake was much better at this time, and many microorganisms were floating in it, just like their short lives.
The magical plant at the bottom of the lake also became clearer.
It was sunk into the pitch-black mud, blending in with the surroundings, and anyone with poor eyesight wouldn't be able to see it.
Lu Qingqing was getting closer and closer to the bottom of the lake. When her hand was less than three meters away from the spiritual herb, her heart suddenly started beating wildly and goosebumps broke out all over her body.
She stopped diving without hesitation, turned around and swam upstream.
“Crash—”
Waves rose in the lake, mud swirling. Amidst the filth, a gigantic claw, as thick as a crane hook, suddenly emerged from the lakebed and clamped down on Lu Qingqing.
Even though she was alert and reacted quickly, the giant tortoise still grabbed the hem of her clothes and tore off a large piece of fabric.
Lu Qingqing didn't dare to look at what kind of monster was behind her. She pressed the switch of the cone hat, and a thick smoke dissipated, stirring up the turbid lake water even more chaotically.
——Thanks to the skilled craftsman Uncle Jiang, the cone hat he made not only does not affect movement underwater, but also allows hidden weapons to be used normally.
This action bought her a little time, and she swam as hard as she could to the surface of the lake.
But the other party obviously lived underwater all the time, and this place was its absolute territory. Just as Lu Qingqing was about to reach the surface of the water, a whirlpool suddenly appeared in the lake and dragged Lu Qingqing down again.
She subconsciously swung her dagger, and the sword energy condensed in the water, forming a protective circle.
Lu Qingqing had just finished creating the barrier when two giant turtles suddenly appeared in her sight and attacked her violently!
