Chapter 281: Junior Sister Can Read Minds 3
Nan Xi was just about to pick the Lingxin Fruit when a powerful aura suddenly surged out from the lake. The rippling water seemed to be responding to that powerful aura.
Ripples appeared on the water surface, and a huge black shadow was looming in the water and slowly emerged to the surface.
What a big dragon snake.
Nan Xi thought that the big lizard Qing Xuan mentioned was most likely this dragon snake.
Her palm flashed and the black crystal grass appeared in her palm.
The body of the dragon snake gradually emerged from the water, its scales sparkling with a faint blue light under the reflection of the lake. Its sharp eyes were fixed on Nan Xi, as if examining this human who dared to approach the Lingxin Fruit.
Nan Xi did not retreat. She slowly raised the black crystal grass in her hand, allowing the unique spiritual energy fluctuations to spread.
The dragon snake's gaze lingered on the black crystal grass for a moment, as if it was sensing the spiritual energy. Its gaze moved back and forth between Nan Xi and the black crystal grass, as if it was weighing something.
Of course, having the Xuanjing Grass alone is not enough. In the plot, Qingxuan exchanged a spirit beast pill in the system, which attracted the dragon snake to follow her. Nanxi did not have the spirit beast pill, but she had the spirit spring water and the fairy lotus in the water.
Recently, the lotus leaves in the spiritual spring space have bloomed. Nan Xi discovered that the lotus planted in the spiritual spring is the spiritual jade lotus, and the lotus pods have begun to mature.
Nan Xi took out a jade lotus pod, and the dragon snake's half-closed eyes immediately widened, and it didn't even care about the black crystal grass.
It was a little afraid of Xiaoying, but also coveted the jade lotus seeds. Finally, it retreated a distance, gave up the Lingxin Fruit Tree, and tried hard to show a docile expression. Even its tail swayed slightly, for fear of scaring the little fairy in front of it.
Just when Nan Xi took the jade lotus seeds, the dragon snake sensed a space with rich spiritual energy and many jade lotus seeds. The dragon snake could tell the difference whether to eat one or many.
Nan Xi looked at the dragon snake's flattering attitude and found that it was really just as described in the plot, a greedy big lizard.
Nan Xi threw the jade lotus seed to the dragon snake, which carefully caught it with its claws and was extremely surprised as it held the jade lotus seed in its hands.
These Lingxin fruit trees grow in water, so Nan Xi transplanted them all into the Lingquan space, and they occupied a separate small Lingquan.
The dragon snake broke out the jade lotus seeds one by one and ate them, and finally swallowed the small and cute lotus pod in one gulp.
The Jiao snake seemed a little unsatisfied. It looked at Xiaoying's small body, restrained its breath, and turned into a black little snake, but it had two jade horns on its head, which made it look particularly cute.
Xiaoying was a little angry. It revealed the single horn on its head. The little black snake immediately crawled on the ground, as obedient as a little earthworm.
"Recognize me as your master, and you will have plenty of jade lotus seeds in the future."
The little black snake nodded quickly in agreement.
It stretched its tail to its mouth, opened its mouth and took a bite. A drop of blood floated up, and a wonderful formation lit up.
The formation flew to Nan Xi and penetrated into her forehead.
"Master, I want the water with a lot of spiritual energy, is that okay?"
Nan Xi was already able to communicate with the dragon snake. She understood that the dragon snake wanted the spiritual spring water, but there was no time to delay any longer.
"I'll give it to you when I'm free."
Nan Xi stretched out her hand, and the little black snake obediently turned into a bracelet and circled around Nan Xi's wrist. The dark black patterns on it looked like black jade.
After being out for a long time, Nan Xi walked back. This time she still sat on Xiaoying's back, but it only took a few dozen breaths to return to the dense forest.
The battle was still going on, and Nan Xi's absence did not arouse much suspicion. Only Qing Xuan was muttering secretly.
[Where is Gu Nanxi? Why hasn't she come to help yet? Was she eaten by a ferocious beast? ]
There was more than one ferocious beast in the fog, and everyone was looking forward to the eldest sister's help, thinking that she was tripped by the ferocious beast.
Nan Xi was in a good mood as she got the spiritual beast and spiritual medicine. Under her command, the Qingling Sword swept horizontally and chopped vertically. After a while, all the ferocious beasts fell down, and the remaining few fled without a trace.
"Big Sister, it was Big Sister who saved us."
"I knew that Senior Sister wouldn't abandon us and run away by herself."
Qingxuan's face looked a little bad. She was the one who just said that the senior sister had escaped.
[Even if Gu Nanxi didn't run away, she must have been lazy. It took her so long to deal with this ferocious beast. She must have had bad intentions.]
Nan Xi didn't care and ordered her fellow disciples to put away the ferocious beast. Everyone gathered together again and the injured began to take medicine to heal their wounds.
Qingxuan was also slightly injured. She took out a pill and swallowed it, and recovered instantly.
She urged, anxious to subdue the giant lizard.
"Let's go quickly, the Lingxin Fruit should be nearby."
Everyone checked the direction and continued on their way.
When the group of people arrived at the lake, they saw ripples on the lake surface, but there was no trace of the Lingxin Fruit. Only its faint spiritual aura remained in the air.
Everyone looked at each other in bewilderment. The location marked on the map when they set out was right here, but there was not even the shadow of the Lingxin Fruit Tree to be seen.
"What's going on? Did someone get to the Lingxin Fruit first?"
Yuqing looked around anxiously, hoping to find some clues.
Qingxuan stood by the lake, her brows furrowed, quickly analyzing the possible reasons in her mind.
The Lingxin Fruit cannot disappear for no reason. There is a big lizard guarding it. Now the big lizard and the Lingxin Fruit are gone together. There must be a reason.
Her eyes unconsciously looked towards Nan Xi. For some reason, she felt that the senior sister should know something.
Yuqing looked around and said, "Big Sister, what should we do now?"
Nan Xi took out the map and said, "Since the Spiritual Heart Fruit is gone, let's go find something else."
"no!"
Qingxuan denied it outright and everyone looked at her, not knowing what she meant.
[009 said that the guardian beast of the Spiritual Heart Fruit Tree is a giant lizard, a dragon snake that is about to transform into a dragon. I have even prepared the Spiritual Beast Pill, so how could it run away?]
"Brothers and sisters, this Spiritual Heart Fruit is necessary to complete this mission. If we don't bring it back, the elders will definitely not be satisfied."
Everyone looked at Nan Xi with sad faces. At times like this, they always listened to the senior sister.
Qingxuan pulled Nanxi's sleeve and said coquettishly, "Big Sister, let's look for him again. He might be nearby."
[If the Jiao Snake ate the Lingxin Fruit and turned into a dragon, that would be a pity. We must find it quickly.]
Nan Xi pulled out her sleeves and said, "But we still have many tasks to complete. If we don't hurry up, we won't be able to complete them. What should we do then?"
This Lingyuan Secret Realm is a resource secret realm. It is not very dangerous, but it will be closed in only seven days. All major sects come here with missions.
Qingxuan gritted her teeth and gave up reluctantly.
"Okay then, let's go to the next place."
Nan Xi led everyone on the journey. Qing Xuan looked back at the lake and felt that she had missed a lot.
The group then had a safe and smooth journey, picking many magical herbs and gaining a lot of resources.
Until seven days passed in a flash, the secret realm was about to close, and everyone rushed to the exit.
Qingxuan followed the team, looking at Nanxi's back and complaining to 009.
[What happened? Wasn't Gu Nanxi supposed to die in this secret place? How did she come out safe and sound? ]
009 was also puzzled, [Let me check. ]
After a moment, 009 cried out in surprise.
[Gu Nanxi's plot is completely gone, what's going on? ]
