So, Mo Wenjie, Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou, Xiao AyWen, Ding Yan, Tuo YaYing and Qin XiaDie and Cao ChunLing are currently surrounded by the mysterious and powerful Shuǐ LiNGui, expressing their own views and guiding it.
As Mo Wenjie's eyes flashed brilliantly, he was the first to speak: "This Shuǐ LiNGui is an ancient spirit beast, possessing unparalleled strength and spirituality. Its form is colossal like a small mountain, its entire body covered with a layer of deep blue scales, shimmering with mysterious light."
Ding Qingyao nodded slightly and then added, "Indeed, the Shuǐ LiNGui controls the element of water, able to summon winds and rains, raise stormy waves. Its roar is deafening, enough to shake the heavens and earth."
Huang Ling er by his side was also unwilling to be outdone, coopping softly: "I've heard that the Shuǐ LiNGui is gentle, but if someone provokes it, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, when we interact with it, we must be cautious and attentive, avoiding the slightest negligence."
Jiang YuRou gently combed her hair and spoke softly to analyze: "According to the records of ancient books, the Shuǐ LiNGui usually lives in deep mountains and large swamps, guarding a sacred land. If we want to communicate with it, we may need to find a suitable opportunity."
Xiao AyWen crossed her arms and thought for a moment before saying, "In my opinion, we should first observe the behavior and habits of the Shuǐ LiNGui, understand its preferences and needs, and then formulate a corresponding strategy."
Ding Yan blinked her large, expressive eyes excitedly: "Maybe we can win the trust of the Shuǐ LiNGui through some special methods! For example, offering precious gifts or demonstrating our goodwill."
Tuo YaYing opened her crimson lips lightly: "However, everyone should also pay attention to their own safety, as the strength of the Shuǐ LiNGui is beyond measurement, and a slight oversight could put us in danger."
Qin Xiao Die nodded repeatedly, in agreement: "Yes, we must act cautiously and not be impulsive."
Finally, Cao ChunLing looked at everyone and summarized: "Since everything is like this, let's work together. Some people will collect more information about the Shuǐ LiNGui, while others will prepare for various possible situations. We believe that as long as we work together, we will be able to successfully complete this exploration journey of the Shuǐ LiNGui."
At this moment, the Golden Silk Fairy, who had been silent all along, suddenly smiled slightly and slowly said, "What everyone has said is very true, but what kind of secret the Shuǐ LiNGui is hiding still needs to be slowly uncovered by us..."
So, everyone followed Cao ChunLing's suggestion and divided up the work. Mo Wenjie led Ding Yan and Qin Xiao Die to explore the environment around the Shuǐ LiNGui, hoping to find some clues. They carefully approached the edge of the deep pool where the Shuǐ LiNGui lived, only to find a strange, lingering spiritual energy wave in the air.
Meanwhile, Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou and Xiao AyWen delved into the ancient libraries to search for records about the secret of the Shuǐ LiNGui. Just as they were flipping through a dusty ancient book, a beam of spiritual light suddenly shot out from the pages and turned into a row of ancient seal characters suspended in the air. They vaguely mentioned that the Shuǐ LiNGui was related to a lost immortality technique.
On the other side, Ding Qingyao, Tuo YaYing, and Cao ChunLing remained in place, closely observing every move of the Shuǐ LiNGui. The Shuǐ LiNGui seemed to have sensed something, its enormous eyes slowly opening, and a flash of blue light passed through the space as if it had instantly frozen.
At that moment, the hearts of Mo Wenjie, Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou, Xiao AyWen, Ding Yan, Tuo YaYing, Qin Xiao Die and the Golden Silk Fairy suddenly rose, tensely waiting for the unknown events to happen. The Golden Silk Fairy silently counted with her fingers and revealed a serious expression on her face.
After counting for a long time, the Golden Silk Fairy's eyebrows were wrinkled more and more tightly, and she whispered in a low voice: "This is a very bad omen, the Shuǐ LiNGui seems to have been disturbed by some evil things sleeping deeply." Hearing this, everyone was shocked in color. At this moment, the Shuǐ LiNGui roared to the sky. That beam of blue light spread out violently. Mo Wenjie shouted: "Everyone, quick defense!" The crowd hurriedly activated their spiritual force to protect themselves.
However, the blue light turned into a series of talismanic chains that wrapped around the crowd. Jiang YuRou waved the silk ribbon in her hand to try to block the talismanic chains, but was easily repelled. In a critical moment, Huang Ling er remembered the method to break it from ancient books and shouted: "Inject pure spiritual energy into the ground to cut off the connection with the evil thing!" United, the group injected their spiritual energy into the ground below their feet. Indeed, the talismanic chains stopped attacking.
However, the Shuǐ LiNGui did not calm down. It scraped the ground with its four hooves, causing the surrounding lake to churn up. The Golden Silk Fairy flew forward, chanting incantations, and a beam of golden light shot towards the forehead of the Shuǐ LiNGui. The Shuǐ LiNGui gradually calmed down, and the madness in its eyes decreased significantly.
Everyone breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed their anxiety, the massive rock in their hearts had finally slightly fallen. They all understood that they had temporarily passed through this harrowing crisis. However, what kind of evil was hiding behind the mysterious and terrifying lost immortality technique? This question loomed over everyone's mind like a thick dark cloud, impossible to disperse.
Even though they narrowly avoided a disaster, the group was well aware that this matter was far from over. The unknown evil was like an invisible giant shadow, constantly threatening the tranquility and peace of the world. If they couldn't quickly uncover its true identity and completely eradicate it, there would likely be more unpredictable disasters to follow, bringing endless devastation and suffering to the world.
After much contemplation, Mo Wenjie, Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou, Xiao AyWen, Ding Yan, Tuo YaYing, Qin Xiao Die, Cao ChunLing, and the Golden Silk Fairy made a resolute decision — to delve into the investigation of this matter at all costs to uncover the truth. Even if the path ahead was fraught with thorns and dangers, they would not retreat a single step! Because they deeply understood that only by doing so could they truly protect this land and all the people who lived here.
After everyone had some time to rest and prepare, Mo Wenjie said: "We should divide and conquer, searching for more clues about the evil thing." So, the group split into three teams once again.
Mo Wenjie led Ding Yan to a mysterious valley, where it was said that an immortal had sealed an evil thing. Along the way, they encountered many traps, but they overcame the dangers with their high-level cultivation. Upon reaching the depth of the valley, they found a stone tablet covered in strange symbols.
Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou, and Xiao AyWen went to explore the ruins of an ancient sect. In the ruins, they found a fragment of a scroll that obliquely mentioned that the evil thing was related to a great struggle between good and evil a thousand years ago and had some connection with a dark star.
Ding Qingyao, Tuo YaYing, Cao ChunLing, and the Golden Silk Fairy delved into the depths of the sea. At the bottom of the sea, a palace emitting a faint glow appeared before them. After entering the palace, they saw a mural depicting the scene where the evil thing was sealed, accompanied by a mysterious key-shaped pattern.
The three teams from different directions and diverse backgrounds finally met up at the agreed location. They arrived there in a hurry, covered in dust and exhaustion, with serious expressions on their faces.
Upon meeting, the group did not engage in much small talk and began to eagerly share the important information they had gathered. However, as the exchange deepened, their confusion grew more intense. The seemingly scattered clues intertwined like a tangled ball of twine, making it difficult to untangle and make sense of them.
Although this was the case, one thing everyone knew in their hearts and was deeply concerned about was that the evil thing sealed for centuries had an extremely terrifying power. If it were to break through the seal and regain its freedom, it would certainly bring about an unprecedented great disaster to the entire world, resulting in widespread suffering and hardship.
Thinking about this, the group couldn't help but take a deep breath, but they did not back down. On the contrary, a strong sense of mission surged in their hearts, making them even more determined to prevent this calamity from happening. Therefore, after a brief silence, they all declared their willingness to continue following the precious clues they had already uncovered, no matter what daunting challenges lay ahead, refusing to give up.
"We must act with all due haste, find it before the evil thing fully awakens, and reseal it!" Mo Wenjie said resolutely, his words like war drums inspiring everyone present. The others echoed in agreement, willing to pay any price for this cause. Thus, this group of brave and fearless individuals set off once more on a journey filled with the unknown and danger...
As Mo Wenjie, along with Ding Qingyao, Huang Ling er, Jiang YuRou, Xiao AyWen, Ding Yan, Tuo YaYing, Qin Xiao Die, Cao ChunLing and the mysterious Golden Silk Fairy all left together, the kirin that had been quietly sleeping in the water suddenly slowly opened its enormous and authoritative eyes.
The eyes were like deep lakes, shimmering with strange light, as if they could perceive all things in the world. It turned its eyes slightly, gazing in the direction where the group had gone for a moment. However, just after this brief glance, it seemed to find it boring and gently closed its eyelids again, sinking back into a deep sleep.
As its breathing became more regular, the water surface also returned to its usual tranquility, with only slight ripples spreading around it as if nothing had happened just now.
Following the clues, the group went all the way to an ancient cave in a wild mountain. The cave was foreboding and freezing, exuding a putrid smell. As soon as they entered, they felt a dark force rushing towards them.
Mo Wenjie cautiously led the way, and suddenly, several shadow arrows were shot out from the darkness. Ding Qingyao used her magic to deflect them, and the group realized that there were many traps in this place. They advanced carefully and discovered a black crystal deep in the cave, within which something seemed to be surging.
Huang Ling er got close to examine it, and the crystal suddenly released a strong suction, pulling her in. The group was alarmed and managed to pull her back with their combined efforts. At this time, the Golden Silk Fairy noticed that the array around the crystal was similar to the one she had seen when the evil thing was sealed.
While the group was researching the solution, a roar was heard from outside the cave. It turned out that the Shuǐ LiNGui had followed them without anyone noticing. It walked into the cave and radiated a holy light. The Shuǐ LiNGui walked to the crystal, using its horn to touch it. The crystal cracked, and the power of the evil thing began to weaken.
Taking advantage of the moment, the group cast their strongest sealing spell, combining the power of the Shuǐ LiNGui to finally seal the evil thing permanently. Afterward, they looked at the Shuǐ LiNGui with gratitude. The Shuǐ LiNGui turned around and left, and the group walked out of the cave with relief, continuing to protect the tranquility of the world.
