Chapter 26 26 It’s a mess, drink it while it’s hot.
A big hole was hit in the ice, and a thick black tail swung up.
Murong breathed a sigh of relief, "I thought it was a dragon, but it turned out to be a fish."
The tail returned to the lake and the ice froze again, fitting tightly together without leaving any potholes. The previous episode seemed like a thrilling illusion.
Wu Ciyan laughed and said, "Even if it really is a dragon, I can't suppress it. However, I doubt it really exists."
Murong said, "If it were just a few fish, they wouldn't have caused such a storm, and the fruit would have been taken away long ago. The biggest thing should be at the bottom of the lake. If it doesn't want to come out, who can do anything to it?"
Wu Ciyan echoed, "It probably won't come out easily. It's the boss underwater, so it's hard to say what it will do once it comes out."
Wen Lanzhi tugged at Wu Ciyan's sleeve and pointed behind him.
A small boat was pushed onto the ice.
Wu Ciyan laughed, "That tail alone is enough to capsize the boat."
As soon as the words left her mouth, the ice cracked again. This time, it wasn't a tail that struck, but a mace, smashing a head on the spot. Several hands emerged from the water and directly carried the boat and the people into the water. Murong hurried forward, but before she could reach it, the ice had frozen over again, leaving no trace.
So many mouths uttered a terrified "Ah" at the same time.
Wen Lanzhi, who was originally skating happily, now had legs shaking so much that she jumped into Wu Ciyan's purse like a rabbit.
The elastic part of the purse always gets stuck, and Wu Ci Yan has to help pull it up every time, otherwise the purse can't fit in.
She went in, wanted to take a look, and stuck her head out again, with her two front paws resting on the edge of the purse.
Wu Ci Yan continued walking forward, patting her head and pinching her paws from time to time.
Murong followed and asked quietly, "Can you still hold it in?"
Wu Ciyan said, "There are too many monsters here. I can only suppress the ones near us, not those further away."
Murong nodded and said, "Okay, protect yourself first."
There were more and more holes on the lake, and screams and cries for help were heard one after another. Often, as soon as someone fell in one side, before the ice could close, another person would fall in the other side.
This method of attack was too comfortable for the shrimp soldiers and crab generals in the water. The people on the top couldn't get down, nor did they dare to go down. They just needed to keep digging holes.
Murong looked serious and asked, "What do you think of me going down?"
Wu Ciyan was frightened by her serious tone and said hurriedly: "I know nothing about the underwater situation. No matter how good your underwater skills are, there is no guarantee that you will not die in it."
Murong fixed her eyes on the fruit in front of her. "Then let's hurry up and get the Qinqing fruit and be done with it. As long as the fruit is still there, these people won't leave."
As soon as she finished speaking, the wind blew violently. The wind coming from the opposite direction was like a wild horse, with its reins tied around everyone's waist, pulling everyone backwards.
The ice layer at the back cracked apart, forming a huge pit. The black, bottomless water formed a huge whirlpool. The blade-like water turned around, as if it could cut a person in half. People kept falling in and being swallowed.
The overflowing water turned into transparent tentacles, dragging people's legs down.
The shrill screams reached the sky, but could not break through the clouds.
Wu Ci Yan pushed Wen Lanzhi's head back and tightly grasped the two purses around his waist.
The two men were still moving forward when suddenly, the tree began to move downward.
"The Qin Qingguo is sinking!" Murong shouted, "This is a scam!"
A golden light suddenly flashed on Murong's right. She looked over and saw a monster holding up a heavy sword in his hand. He poured all his demonic power into the sword and thrust it hard into the ice.
Unexpectedly, she was able to insert it, and a gap appeared in the ice that was just big enough to hold the sword.
She was delighted and held the hilt of the sword tightly, trying to stand still.
The monsters followed suit.
However, it was useless. People with insufficient skills could not insert it at all and would be bounced away by their own magic. Even if they inserted it, the monsters below would make a hole in it and take the person and the sword down with them.
The tree not far away was only its head left and was about to sink. Murong took a look and felt that it was too late. She didn't want to care anymore. She turned around and said, "I can use magic to build a bridge and send these people back first."
“Ahhhhhh!”
Murong turned her head and saw the monster who had stabilized his body suddenly jump up, draw his sword and rush forward in one breath. The magic formed a small protective layer around her, protecting her from the wind.
The Qin Qingguo sank very slowly. She ran over quickly and stretched out her hand. She was almost able to catch the Qin Qingguo.
"Oh no." Wu Ciyan reacted, "That can't be a seal."
Murong also reacted, "It's sinking slower and slower, it's obviously intentional."
Wu Ciyan handed the purse containing Wen Lanzhi to Murong, "Run!"
"Then you...eh!" Before Murong could finish her words, she saw Wu Ci Yan running in the opposite direction of the crowd, following the wind.
Murong turned around and saw that the monster had already grabbed Qin Qingguo. She immediately cast a spell to build a bridge and shouted, "Those who can't reach the shore, come to me! Come! Get on the bridge!"
She caught a glimpse of Wu Ci Yan approaching the whirlpool. He casually grabbed two Taoists who were struggling on the edge, threw them to the shore, and jumped in himself.
Murong was stunned for a moment, then immediately reacted and continued to call people to the bridge, "Come on up! Run to the bridge! Hurry up and get ashore! Get ashore!"
Too many people were swept away by the wind, and Murong set up a barrier again, but Xixi Lake was too big. She could only take care of this side but not the other side, or could only take care of the other side but not this side.
Her spells weren't enough to build two bridges.
"I got it! I got it!" The monster picked the Qinqing fruit, lay on the ground, and said ecstatically.
The strong wind stopped and the clanging sound on the ice stopped.
Murong always felt that something was wrong and continued to evacuate, but the people on the bridge stopped and looked in the direction of Qin Qingguo.
Murong shouted, "Hurry up! There are still many people behind us!"
The people on the bridge refused to leave, but also refused to come down.
The monster holding the Qinqing Fruit was still standing there. Even though the wind had stopped, she didn't dare to come over. She knew that once she stood among the crowd, no one would know who the Qinqing Fruit belonged to.
Wen Lanzhi suddenly emerged from the purse and headed towards the monster.
She ran too fast, and the purse was still tied to her foot. She tried to shake it off, but after a few rough shakes, the rope at the mouth of the purse got caught and tied tightly to her foot.
Forget it, let it be.
"Zhizhi!" Murong wanted to catch her.
Wen Lanzhi had already pounced over. They were not far away, only a few steps away without wind resistance. Before the monster could react, she bit the Qin Qingguo and ran towards the shore.
"My fruit!" the monster shouted loudly and chased towards this side with a heavy sword.
Wen Lanzhi took advantage of the ice and slid all the way to the shore.
The people on the bridge reacted and someone shouted, "Catch that rabbit! Qin Qingguo is there!"
Murong was startled. The people on the bridge continued to move towards the shore. Murong realized that Wen Lanzhi was trying to make a living target to lure people to the shore.
"Fuck!" Murong cursed for the first time. She was usually dull and stupid, but her mind worked so fast at the critical moment. Seeing Wen Lanzhi successfully get ashore, she felt a little relieved, but seeing so many people heading towards her, she was frightened.
She no longer had any extra magic power to set up another barrier for Wen Lanzhi.
The heavy sword came down again and again, almost hitting Wen Lanzhi. Wen Lanzhi dodged left and right, trying to throw Qin Qingguo into the fog.
Murong stood in the middle, with Cangsheng, whose life was hanging by a thread, on her left, and her sister, whose life was hanging by a thread, on her right.
She saw the heavy sword falling down again, and it fell down at the moment Qin Qingguo was thrown into the fog. She flew over and made a choice.
But it was too late.
The heavy sword had already smashed down, and layers of people surrounded Wen Lanzhi, so Murong couldn't see her situation.
“Ahhhhhh!”
The shout did not come from Wen Lanzhi, but from the people surrounding her with swords. They were bounced away by a strong white light.
The purse on Wen Lanzhi's feet turned into a barrier, protecting Wen Lanzhi inside.
This barrier is indestructible. No matter how hard the people around it chop it with knives or burn it with fire, there will not be a single crack on it. It is comparable to the ice on Xixi Lake.
When those people saw that Qin Qingguo was thrown out by her, they no longer bothered to break the barrier and disappeared into the fog.
Bang! Bang! Bang!
The ice surface made a crashing sound again, more violent than ever before.
The people still on the ice suddenly came to their senses and continued to run towards Murong's bridge. Some of them were already disabled, and some were dying.
The violent vibration of the ice surface caused the people who had just climbed up to fall down again. Murong helped one and then fell down. She stopped helping and just threw the one she caught onto the bridge or the shore. The injury was minor, and she saved as many people as she could.
She was worried and looked at the shore frequently. Wen Lanzhi had turned back into human form, with a red spot on her left sleeve. She was looking at the huge whirlpool on the ice where she had just seen Wu Ci Yan jump into.
She didn't want to cry, as crying was unlucky, and she felt that Wu Ci Yan could come out.
She felt that Wu Ci Yan would not die here.
She felt that, that's how she felt.
Tears flowed like scattered streams, rushing down, gathering at the chin, dripping onto the ground, staining a small area of land dark.
The ice surface cracked, not just a small piece, but a whole piece.
A huge crack appeared in the ice of Xixi Lake.
Murong's hands were even faster as she threw people onto the shore and the bridge without even having time to think.
The bridge was so crowded that if the people thrown onto it did not stand up quickly, they would be trampled to death by the rush of people trying to escape.
A tall black figure broke through the ice, and its sturdy body occupied almost all the lake surface visible to the naked eye. The ice was completely overturned and the ice broke into pieces. Murong set up a barrier to block the ice flying from the sky, and all the people who had not yet reached the bridge fell into the lake.
The black dragon was still rising, and the people in the lake were beyond rescue. Murong raised her sword and looked up.
Wen Lanzhi wandered around.
Wu Ci Yan...Wu Ci Yan...Wu Ci Yan Wu Ci Yan Wu Ci Yan!
Not anywhere.
The bones in her chest seemed to be broken, piercing deep into her heart, making it impossible for her to breathe or cry out.
The black dragon roared to the sky, a heart-wrenching roar for Wen Lanzhi, which broke Murong's barrier and collapsed the bridge.
Wait a moment!
It seems that the dragon can’t go up!
A white snake emerged from the water, about the same size as the black dragon, and was wrapping around the black dragon's lower body, pulling it down.
