to blame

The underground river was blown out, the skeleton soldiers were washed away, and the black bugs were also washed away.

Instead, Ming Xia felt a strange uneasiness in his heart. He rubbed Qingqiu's cat ears, and asked him in a low voice, "The mission is over?"

"Should... solve it?" Qingqiu was not sure, "Why don't we ask Nanjiang?"

He took Ming Xia and flew towards the south side of the river bank, flew twice around his teammates who were lying on the rocky beach, and found a slightly flat place to land.

It was only at this time that Ming Xia noticed that everyone was in an extremely bad state, not to mention exhausted, and everyone had injuries on their bodies.The training uniform on Li Youran almost turned into a beggar outfit!Although the situation on the battlefield is special, she is a girl after all, it is not good for Ming Xia to be tight and solid, but let a girl show her arms.

Ming Xia took off his training uniform and threw it to Li Youran, pushing her to change clothes behind the rock.He also has a short-sleeved T-shirt, which is enough for this season.

He dragged his backpack from Qingqiu's back, dug out the first aid kit, water and compressed food inside, and distributed them to the people around him.Although he didn't bring many things, it was still possible for a temporary emergency.

Qingqiu changed back into a human form and helped him distribute things to everyone.

Li Youran flashed behind the reef and changed into Ming Xia's coat, and after she came out, she began to help everyone treat their wounds.Ming Xia took a disinfectant spray and walked towards Nanjiang.

Nan Jiang leaned against the rocks and did not move. Seeing Ming Xia approaching, a faint smile appeared in his eyes.

Ming Xia felt a little nervous for some reason.Perhaps it was because when his companions were desperately fighting on the battlefield, he ran to another safe and comfortable place.So, seeing them again, he felt sorry for everyone.

He went to Nanjiang and squatted down, briefly disinfected his wound, and put tape on the two deep wounds.

When Ming Xia was doing everything, Nan Jiang never made a sound, but quietly watched him busy beside him.Occasionally, I felt the wound hurt, but I just frowned.

"I'll get you some water, wait."

When Ming Xia came, in order to save space, he didn't bring so much drinking water, but he brought a few packs of water purification tablets - after seeing the Xixin River, he never thought that there would be water shortages and droughts in the big formation.

Now that the groundwater is blown out by Qingqiu, he's making a mistake.

Ming Xia found a few empty water bottles from Li Youran and the others, ran to the water hole to collect the water, and shared it with everyone after purification.He brought a bottle of water to Nanjiang himself.

Nan Jiang kept looking at him quietly, took the water and didn't say anything, until he drank most of the bottle of water in one go, and then he let out a long sigh of relief, "Why are you back?"

Ming Xia felt a slight uneasiness in his heart.During the battle just now, he noticed Nan Jiang looking at him several times, but when he came to him, Nan Jiang kept avoiding his gaze.

Don't want to see him?

Or do you think that since he left, he is no longer a member of the second team?

"I can't come back?"

Ming Xia didn't notice that there was a hint of anger in his tone that could only be felt when facing someone close to him, but Nan Jiang noticed it.He turned his head to look at Ming Xia's side face, his eyes were almost greedy.

"I just... thought you wouldn't come back."

Ming Xia felt depressed.

He knew that there was nothing wrong with Nanjiang thinking like this, because when he left, he thought so too.But when these words came out of Nan Jiang's mouth, there was a little bit of grievance in his heart that was not obvious.

Ming Xia gritted his back molars and retorted, "I'm not a deserter!"

Nan Jiang was taken aback, and looked at him amusedly, "Who said you were a deserter? That's not what I meant."

Ming Xia doesn't want to talk to him.

Nan Jiang raised his hand with difficulty, and patted Ming Xia's back lightly, "Ming Xia, I'm glad you didn't come back. I'm very happy that you came back."

Ming Xia sullenly picked up the empty water bottle on the ground, planning to get up to pick up another bottle of water.But as soon as he moved, his wrist was grabbed by Nan Jiang.

"Mingxia," Nanjiang said softly, "welcome back to the team."

His voice was very soft, but his tone was solemn.Ming Xia turned to look at Nan Jiang, Nan Jiang looked at him quietly, with a faint smile in his eyes.

Ming Xia's inexplicable resentment suddenly dissipated.After this calm down, Ming Xia himself was a little puzzled, was he throwing a tantrum just now? !

but……

Why? !

His family environment is special, and his parents have not seen each other for many years. He has long been independent in life. No matter what he says or does, he has never cared about other people's opinions like he does today.

Ming Xia looked at Nan Jiang with some doubts. Is his mood so unpredictable at the moment because this person is his captain?Or is it because...he is Nan Jiang?

Nan Jiang reluctantly let go of his wrist, he actually wanted to ask why Ming Xia came back.But the current situation does not allow them to chat, so they can only make a long story short: "Who did you meet before you came? Where are the rescuers?"

"I didn't see the rescuers." Ming Xia quickly switched to the work mode, "Captain Zhou arranged for us to come in with the supply truck. As for where they are going to send the supplies, I don't know."

Nan Jiang asked where they separated from the supply vehicle, and was a little worried about whether the wounded who had evacuated first could join them.Before, Mr. Hu had said that he would arrange reinforcements to meet them in the Stone Forest area, but Ming Xia didn't see any reinforcements along the way.If the possibility of Mr. Hu's deceit is ruled out, the reinforcements are likely to be trapped somewhere.

Ming Xia roughly talked about other situations he knew, such as Xie Rong went to the branch compound to send warmth, and for example, he met people from the Fengcheng branch in Qingqiu Mountain, and they mentioned the matter of aiding the Yaozhou branch. The reinforcements who want to come from other places should arrive soon.

Nan Jiang nodded while listening.He is the leader of the team, so naturally he would not say anything depressing at such a moment.But he needs to think hard about what they're going to do next.

Qingqiu brought over the half compressed biscuit left for him, Nan Jiang was not polite, he ate the food with the water bottle Ming Xia handed over, and then brought everyone together for a meeting.

Nanjiang's eyes swept over everyone, and noticed that everyone had treated their wounds in a simple way: disinfection and simple bandaging.And after eating something, the state is better than before.

When he was looking at others, Ming Xia was also looking at him.

Nan Jiang's face was stained with dust and blood, and the profile of his face was still handsome and aggressive, but it was a little more fierce and tainted with gunpowder smoke.Only his eyes were as steady and calm as ever.

"We have encountered a big problem now," Nan Jiang said, turning his face to Tang Xun's direction and asked, "Can I get in touch with Mr. Hu? The news of Yuehe Shuiyan's reappearance must be reported as soon as possible!"

Ming Xia was dumbfounded, "What... Yuehe?!"

Qingqiu couldn't react, "We made this? What do you mean?!"

One person and one fox looked at each other, feeling that something was wrong.How do you look at their reactions? It doesn't look like they have solved a big problem, but instead they seem to have caused a catastrophe? !

Nan Jiang pressed Ming Xia's hand, "Don't be afraid, listen to me."

Ming Xia nodded.He was still a little flustered, but seeing Nanjiang's calm expression, he felt as if... maybe... it wasn't that serious?

Ming Xia put his arms around Qingqiu's shoulders and shook Qingqiu, motioning him to listen to Nanjiang's talk with him.

Qingqiu wasn't panicked, he just didn't understand, since both the skeleton soldiers and the black worms have been dealt with, isn't this a good thing? !

Nanjiang explained to them in short, "This underground river in Pomegranate Canyon is called Moon River. What you blasted is a water hole in Moon River. In fact, there are more than one water holes like this in this river."

"We were trapped here before, and we also had the idea of ​​this underground river. But first, we had no conditions to dig water out of the ground, and second, we were always being chased and beaten by skeleton soldiers, and we had no chance to do anything. Of course, And the most important point is that we are also afraid that if we are not careful, the water eyes will be completely opened."

Ming Xia's heart skipped a beat.He looked at the mighty river behind him that had grown in size in a very short period of time, and asked Nanjiang hesitantly, "Now... is it completely opened?"

Nan Jiang nodded, "The orientation of the Moon River is very strange. It is recorded in the files of the 'Sixth Group' that the people who formed the formation once left a message saying that this river can store water, but the water holes cannot be opened." .If all the nine water holes on the river channel are opened, something serious will happen.”

Ming Xia's heart was pounding, "What's the big deal?"

Nan Jiang thought for a while, "The distribution of energy in the big formation pays attention to mutual checks and balances... Let's put it this way, the water energy of Moon River has always been sealed. Now, such a powerful force suddenly appeared in the big formation. The state of mutual checks and balances will be destroyed. But to what extent it will be destroyed...it's hard to say."

"Didn't you say there are nine water eyes?" Qingqiu asked, "I only opened one now."

Nanjiang shook his head, "The water is too fast. It's hard to say what's going on upstream, but it's only a matter of time before the water holes in the downstream will be washed away."

Not to mention Nan Jiang, Ming Xia also thought of the current situation, the monster clan is pressing every step of the way, once he realizes the energy change caused by Yuehe's present life, he will definitely not give up such an opportunity.As for what they will do, Ming Xia can't guess at all.But he knew it was going to be very, very troublesome.

The more Ming Xia thought about it, the more nervous he became, "Have you contacted Mr. Hu yet? Do you know where Mr. Hu is? Or, Qingqiu and I will go report."

Before Ming Xia finished speaking, he felt the ground under his feet shake.

It wasn't a very strong vibration, but it was continuous, one after another, as if someone was beating something according to a certain rhythm.After listening for a long time, there will be a feeling of dizziness.It seems that there is a mysterious wave that is slowly rippling along a certain mysterious point round after round.

The sound of the water also unknowingly became louder.Under everyone's surprised gaze, a turbulent water column rose abruptly from the river.

And then another one.

Like a festive fountain, the switches are turned on one after another, facing each other far away, but paying tribute to each other.

And with the appearance of these water holes, the amount of water that had only thinly covered the river bed increased significantly, and soon covered the rocky beach where they had rested before.

Counting from the water hole they broke open before, to the corner of the river on the side of the stone forest, for such a long distance, a water spout will pop up every [-] meters or so.

Under their gaze, five water eyes appeared one after another.

Ming Xia didn't know how much trouble he had caused, so he asked Nan Jiang anxiously, "Do you know the exact location of the nine water eyes?"

Since opening nine water holes together will cause serious problems, should we protect the upstream water holes from being opened when the downstream water holes can no longer be kept?

Nanjiang shook his head, "The specific location of the water eye is confidential information, and it will not be easily known."

Ming Xia felt that she had asked a stupid question.Since the water eye is of great importance, the information registered in the case after the official investigation must be kept confidential.

"No one knows how many water holes are left in the upper reaches," Ming Xia said, "but with several water holes already opened, those who want to use the Moon River to do something will definitely make a decision." Go upstream. I can sense water eyes, and maybe other monsters can too."

Ming Xia hesitated for a moment, and asked Nanjiang uncertainly, "Will the news about Shuikan spread?" After all, it has not been more than half an hour since they smashed the Shuikan open.

Nan Jiang told him with certainty, "The channels through which monsters spread news are unimaginable. So... definitely."
