A great relationship

The bamboo tube used to draw water floated into the lake.

In the bushes, Qin Tian pressed Si Nanyi down, and the two of them lay prone on the ground. Qin Tian covered his mouth, signaling him not to make a sound.

The rippling waves of the marsh water seemed to expand, and finally, in front of Si Nanyi's eyes which were as big as copper bells in disbelief, a giant head appeared in the marsh water with huge splashes.

The big head was spitting out red letters, and the pupils were as big as those of an ox, with vertical rays of light in them. The scales on the body were emitting a blue-purple light in the morning light.

It broke out of the water, with a long neck below its head, standing upright in the water like a lotus tip.

The water beast has the posture of a snake, with two horns on its head. It spits out red tongue and seems to be looking for something.

Finally, it found the bamboo tube floating in the marsh water and plunged its neck into the water. The bamboo tube brought by Si Nanyi for fetching water was instantly shattered.

Staring at the broken bamboo chips floating in the water, the water beast seemed to have just let out a sigh of relief. It slowly lowered its body and sank into the water.

Wait until everything returns to calm.

Si Nanyi looked at Qin Tian with astonishment and said, "How could there be such a big python in this water?"

Qin Tian took away the hand covering his mouth, looked into his peach blossom eyes and said: "How can a python be so big, idiot!"

Si Nanyi: "What is that?"

Qin Tian: "I guess it might be a viper."

The two returned to the cave and told the Shangguan brothers and sisters what they had seen and heard.

Shangguan Jian asked: "Is the Viper a Bashe?"

Shangguan Daner, who is quite familiar with monster species, explained: "The Viper is a unique snake species in ancient times. It is not an ordinary creature, but a very fierce monster. However, it is rumored that this monster never attacks humans and rarely causes trouble. There are even rumors that "a Viper turns into a Jiao after 500 years, a Jiao turns into a dragon after 1,000 years, a dragon turns into a Horned Dragon after 500 years, and a Yinglong after 1,000 years". Therefore, the ultimate goal of the Viper's life is to practice and ascend to become a dragon."

Shangguan Daner looked at Si Nanyi and said, "You said it has horns on its head, so it must be a dragon snake that has been cultivating for more than 500 years. You must have disturbed its meditation, so it broke out of the water and spit on the bamboo tube to break it, intending to warn you."

Si Nanyi recalled with a guilty conscience that he had thrown two large rocks into the water. Thinking of its big head, it would be hard for it not to hit. He smiled bitterly and said with shame: "Who would have thought that it would practice in the water?"

Shangguan Jian was worried and said, "One Gu Diao is already a problem, how come there is also a big snake? Let's just forget about this matter of subduing the monster!"

He looked at Shangguan Dan'er timidly. Shangguan Dan'er did not express her opinion, but she looked pale and seemed to be hesitant. She looked at Qin Tian, ​​who was holding his chin and thinking for a long time, and said: "Brother Qin Tian, ​​what do you think?"

Qin Tian clasped his hands and said, "I think this is a good opportunity."

Si Nanyi and Shangguan Jian looked at him in confusion. Shangguan Daner raised the corner of her mouth and said with a smile: "Brother Qin Tian and I think the same thing."

Shangguan Jian looked at the two of them in confusion. He poked Si Nanyi beside him and said, "We are now in a desperate situation with no one to help us. Shouldn't we be thinking about how to get out of this unscathed? What on earth are they planning? I have a bad feeling about this."

Si Nanyi glanced at Qin Tian's slender profile. He was as confused as Shangguan Jian, but he believed in Qin Tian's judgment, and this trust also surprised him!

Si Nanyi was adjusting the bow and arrow, Qin Tian was sitting not far away watching, and Si Nanyi could clearly feel his gaze, but when Si Nanyi turned around, he immediately closed his eyes.

It was hard for Si Nanyi not to care about such deliberateness. After several repetitions, Si Nanyi, who couldn't stand it anymore, walked up to him, put his hands on his hips, looked down at him and said unhappily: "What do you want?"

Qin Tian pointed at his forehead, opened his eyes and looked at Si Nanyi in confusion: "I don't want to do anything."

"So what does it mean that you keep peeking at me?"

Qin Tian raised his eyebrows and said: "I don't have it."

"Still trying to quibble. This is the nth time. What do you want?"

Si Nanyi pointed his finger at his chest.

Qin Tian still said with a clear conscience: "I don't want to do anything, you may have misunderstood something."

Si Nanyi leaned down and put his face close to him, with the tip of his nose almost touching his.

She grabbed his collar and said, "Misunderstanding! You must be guilty of your crime! You like to peek at me so much, so I'll just let you see as much as you want."

"Sinanyi, stop making trouble!"

Shangguan Daner, who was not far away, suddenly interrupted the confrontation between the two.

Si Nanyi looked at her unhappily and shouted, "Don't meddle in our business."

Shangguan Daner shouted: "I don't care what conflicts you two have in Qingshan Sect, but now, we are doing serious business, don't make trouble!"

"Business?"

Qin Tian explained: "Junior sister and I are trying to communicate with each other."

Si Nanyi's eyes widened, "Spiritual transmission!"

Si Nanyi looked at Qin Tian who was so close to him, and then looked at Shangguan Daner who was not far away. He realized awkwardly how embarrassing the thing he had done was!

Si Nanyi let go of his hand: "Is it necessary to exchange glances when communicating with the spirits?"

Qin Tian straightened his wrinkled collar and explained again in a gentle voice: "There was no exchange of glances, just some eye contact. After all, there are differences between Zixiandu and Qingshan Sect's spiritual communication techniques, so it is difficult to connect them. This cave is not big by nature, and you happened to be standing in the middle, so you misunderstood."

Si Nanyi's face flushed red, and he looked a little flustered. "I know, I know. Is it necessary to explain it so clearly? You are so sincere."

After saying that, Si Nanyi grabbed his bow and rushed towards the cave entrance.

Shangguan Daner, a spectator nearby, asked Qin Tian curiously: "How did you and Xiaoyi celebrate the festival? He kept staring at you?"

Qin Tian looked in the direction where Si Nanyi left, and thinking of his blushing face, he couldn't help but raise the corners of his mouth and said: "Nothing, just some misunderstandings."

At night, the four of them chatted around the campfire. Qin Tian took a fire stick and drew a topographic map on the ground.

He said: "This is the general shape of Luwu Mountain that I have observed in recent days by using magic to clone myself around the mountain. We are here, the only place with water source, the marshland that surrounds the entire mountain, and vipers coil in the marshland. If we want to escape from this place, the water route is too dangerous! We can only give up.

The highest point of the mountain we are on is the nest of the Gu Eagle. We need to go up the mountain and lure the Gu Eagle down."

Shangguan Jian stroked his chin and thought: "I don't understand. The only way out is to cross the marsh water, and the marsh water is vast and boundless. We can definitely avoid the viper. Why don't we try to escape from the marsh water, but go around to the top of the mountain to lure the ferocious Gu Eagle down?"

Qin Tian said: "Zeshui, you also said that it is vast and boundless. Even if we bypass this and are lucky enough to avoid the Viper's territory, we can fly out by boat or sword.

But have you ever thought that the lake-type swamps are so chaotic and there are countless unknown swamps with vipers lurking in them, which is already very surprising. Who can guarantee whether there are other monsters?

Moreover, our magic power is limited, and my sister is injured. We will either die of exhaustion or fall into the swamp and be swallowed up on the way."

Shangguan Jian said: "Since the situation is so dangerous, why don't we just wait patiently for Zixiandu to send someone to rescue us?"

Qin Tian added: "I have thought about what you are thinking. Waiting is just a delaying measure. It should not last long. Luwu Mountain is full of gold and jade, but there are few things that can fill the stomach. We are fine, but you haven't practiced fasting yet."

Shangguan Jian was silent upon hearing this, and Si Nanyi, who was listening, deeply understood why the older brothers did not want to come to Zixiandu, but gave this opportunity to the new rookies like them. This damn place is a den of monsters! Coming here once is enough!

Qin Tian looked at Shangguan Daner who was observing the terrain very carefully and said: "Junior sister, you are injured, remember, don't be stubborn!"

Shangguan Daner nodded: "Don't worry, Senior Brother, being stupid once is enough, I won't joke with my life again!"

But Shangguan Jian said with a sad face: "If it is so dangerous, you might as well not go!"

Shangguan Daner glared at him and said, "Shangguan Jian, shut up!"

Qin Tian knocked at the position of Zeshui with his stick and said with some concern: "Sinanyi, you and Junior Sister are responsible for the periphery. When I lead it out, it may deviate from the route to Zeshui. You can shoot arrows to drive it away. If the Gu Diao targets you, you can run away."

Si Nanyi couldn't believe what nonsense he heard. In his dictionary, there was no word "escape". He snorted and snorted coldly, "Tsk."

Qin Tian added: "Although I don't know how much chance we have of winning, after all, there are only four of us now, and we are outnumbered. But we can only fight with all our strength. If we lose, we can't fight to the end. We must protect ourselves as much as possible and don't get hurt!"

As he said this, he looked at Shangguan Jian. It was obvious that this was meant for him, because he and Qin Tian were going to be the main force and be responsible for luring the Gu Diao down from the mountain. Shangguan Jian said with difficulty: "Got it."

Qin Tian: "Okay, let's stick to this plan for now. Check the spiritual weapon and have a good rest tonight. Tomorrow morning, there will be a fierce battle, so don't be careless!"

"Yes!"

"Sinanyi, come here."

Due to the misunderstanding during the day, he just stood up and took two steps when he was suddenly called. Si Nanyi felt a chill down his spine and asked: "What...?"

Seeing that he refused to turn around, Qin Tian walked around to him and said, "Take your bow and come with me."

Even though Si Nanyi was extremely reluctant, his legs seemed to obey his commands and he followed him slowly.

The two of them were outside the cave entrance, and Qin Tian was the first to speak: "Your archery is good!"

Si Nanyi snorted unceremoniously: "Of course!"

However, Qin Tian's sudden praise did not make Si Nanyi happy. On the contrary, he felt that Qin Tian was going to find fault with him the next moment.

As he expected, Qin Tian said:

"But you pulled the bow too hard."

Si Nanyi asked in confusion: "How can we pull it apart without using all our strength?"

Qin Tian: "Last time, shooting class, do you remember?"

Si Nanyi said with a guilty conscience: "What do you want to say? You can't pick another day to settle the score later."

Qin Tian said: "I'm not looking for you to settle accounts, but you need to know that there is a difference between ordinary spiritual tools and spiritual treasures."

Who are you looking down on?

Si Nanyi said unhappily: "I know! In the Northern Territory, the bow I used was a top-grade spiritual treasure, because I was used to using spiritual treasures..."

Si Nanyi was unwilling to admit: "... During the shooting class, I was too cocky, so I accidentally broke the magic weapon..."

Seeing that Qin Tian didn't express his opinion, Si Nanyi said madly: "I have already copied the rules and regulations for half a month, what else do you want from me!"

Qin Tian said: "I want you to control your power."

Si Nanyi was stunned: "What?"

Qin Tian repeated: "I want you to control your power, but it's obviously too late."

After saying that, Qin Tian summoned a bow from his soul-locking bag, held it in front of Si Nanyi and said, "You use mine."

Si Nanyi looked at the bow in his hand. It was silvery white and shiny, with smooth and graceful lines, like a half-moon in the sky. It was obviously a top-grade spiritual treasure!

Si Nanyi's eyes widened, and he couldn't help but touch her because he was worried about breaking up.

Young men are always fond of two things: good wine and weapons.

Si Nanyi was no exception. He looked at Qin Tian with a flattered look, unable to let go, and said with joy: "This is a top-grade spiritual treasure. Are you sure you want to give it to me? If it breaks, don't blame me!"

Si Nanyi's joyful expression was somewhat beyond Qin Tian's expectations. It turned out that he liked Lingbao so much!

Qin Tian's mouth corners also slightly raised: "This bow is made of the ten thousand year old snow-wood from Qingqiu, East Wasteland, and the string is made of the tendons of thousand year old monsters. The craftsmanship is complex and extremely rare. There is only one in the world. If you can break it, I will admit defeat! Also, I am lending it to you, not giving it to you."

Fearing that Qin Tian would regret it, Si Nanyi changed his words: "Don't worry, I will use it well and will never break it!!"

Si Nanyi pulled the bowstring, and the feel of it made him forget all the previous conflicts between him and Qin Tian. He couldn't help but blurt out: "Good bow! It's really a good bow!"
