The feathered serpent simply tidied its wings, turned around, and crawled gracefully and slowly back towards Sun Moon Lake, ignoring Jing Xia's temptation and provocation.
Jing Xia stared at the figure with narrowed eyes. He seemed to be doing it on purpose, even moving back slowly as if to give August and the others enough time.
The situation on August's side was not good. Streams of scorching water gushed out one after another. Milje tried hard to avoid them with the help of Lan Huaili, but the strong chain kept melting and becoming thinner under the water vapor.
Finally, it broke under the attack of a water column.
Auguste and Lan Huaili: "Be careful!"
It seemed that the two men were about to jump over the pool regardless of the water and try to catch Milje.
"Don't come over here!"
Milje suddenly threw the spiritual fruit at the two of them, and continued to fall while protecting his vital parts.
At worst, I would die and be ejected from the holographic cabin, which would be better than getting injured and ejected when they came to rescue me.
If three people are ejected, the mission will be considered a failure.
A stream of water from below sprayed straight towards Milje as if it had taken aim, and was about to touch the pool water.
Herbert used the thrusters to fall down and protect Milje. The two were knocked to the shore by the extremely powerful water column. The back of Herbert's mecha had been melted through by the pool water, revealing his red back.
"Boy, that's exciting."
Milje collapsed on the ground, gasping for breath for having almost experienced "death". His arms were still numb from the electric shock from accidentally touching the tree trunk when he was rushed away.
With the help of Lan Huaili, Herbert exited the melted mecha. He had also been steamed above the sun pool for a long time, and his back was burned red. He sat down next to Milje in a sweat.
August was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat. Holding the spiritual fruit, he sat down next to Milje and rubbed his sore arm.
If my physical condition wasn't so low, I could help Milje and the others...
Milje collapsed on the ground and suddenly burst into laughter.
"Exciting! Luckily you two were watching, otherwise I would have fallen into the pond long ago."
After hearing this, August rolled his eyes and pressed hard on one of Milje's acupuncture points.
Milje was pressed so hard that he howled and started coughing while laughing. He saw a swaying figure out of the corner of his eye and suddenly stopped talking. He was so stifled that his face turned red but he didn't dare to say anything.
Herbert and the others also noticed the figure and stopped what they were doing.
Four people: They didn’t dare to make a sound.
The purple feathered serpent folded its wings and slowly passed by a group of people by the pond. It just glanced at the spiritual fruit in August's arms and pretended not to see it before climbing back up the tree, coiling its body and spreading its wings to cover its body.
The four of them looked at the feathered serpent that ignored them, looked at each other silently, and were very worried in their hearts.
The snake is back, I hope Jingxia will be fine.
There was another sound in the depths of the forest, and Jing Xia's small figure appeared, which made everyone feel relieved.
The young man greeted his teammates with a smile, pretending to be relaxed to hide his bruised body.
"Did you get the fruit?"
"Um."
August raised the tightly wrapped fruit in his hand.
Milje and Herbert supported themselves and bumped fists with Jingxia.
Lan Huaili silently supported Herbert from behind.
"Then let's apply to go out."
The four of them said in unison: "Get out!"
…………
After the figures of several people disappeared in the virtual world, the feathered serpent that covered its body folded its wings, and its upper body slid to the side of the moon pond, its snake eyes staring at the icy blue water.
"Are we going back too? Or do you want to stay a few more days?"
"No, go back."
A pair of ice-blue eyes in the pool opened and looked at the feathered serpent above the water with a smile.
With a splash, a figure in light blue clothes jumped out from the water of Yuetan Lake. The upper body of the human figure, whose gender was difficult to distinguish, leaned intimately against the feathered serpent, while the lower body with ice-blue and glowing scales swayed gently in the water.
"go home."
