"Currently, the Zhen Clan people that I know are distributed in the Black Waters, Mimengze, Ancient Road, and the Golden Sands Coast. There may be Zhen Clan gathering places that have not been polluted by the magic energy farther away." The old man Izumo finally returned the carrot to You Jing , "Little girl, I beg you to do something, I wonder if you can do it?"

"En! Grandpa Izumoko, please tell me!" You Jing glanced at the carrot in her hand, raised her head and said to the old man Izumoko.

"Please hurry to the black waters and find the owner of the carrot with silver bells," the old man Izumoko's expression became serious, "The black waters are already full of filth, and the red ribbons tied with carrots are not bad. Bright, I think it was only lost for a day or two. If you find the owner of this carrot in the black waters, please bring it to Lingxian Island!"

You Jing returned to the inn with the carrot, thinking whether to go alone or go with Piao Ling.After the last battle with Bu Shushou and Yi Nan's sudden appearance, she was afraid that there would be more powerful enemies in the black waters.Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just in case.

……

Xiao Longya walked behind You Jing with a depressed expression, muttering something in a low voice, probably complaining about her.

It's not his fault, after all, You Jing has ruined his "happy time" with Ziyun for the second time.

When You Jing made a plan, she rushed directly into Piaoling's room, pulled Xiao Longya who was talking to Ziyun, and ran towards the black water, leaving Ziyun in the room with a look of astonishment.

"Piaoling, where do you think the owner of this carrot ornament will be?" Throwing off the stabbed grass snake hanging from the sword, he looked around quietly, but still did not see any creatures other than crabs and grass snakes , could not help being slightly disappointed.

"I don't know, just look for it slowly." Xiao Longya pushed aside a clump of reeds, looked into the distance, and shook his head.

The two were already far away from Lingxian Island, and now they were about to enter the depths of the black waters.It stands to reason that it shouldn't be impossible to find a living person.

"I'm exhausted. I've been searching for almost an hour. Why is the black water area so big!" You Jing wiped off her sweat, looked at the mud in front of her and complained, "Is that person not here anymore?"

"The people of the Zhen clan love water, and wherever there is water, there are people of the Zhen clan." Xiao Longya stepped on a piece of reed and walked forward again, "Besides, even if the black water is polluted by demonic energy, it is still a water , or the hometown of the Zhen people, it is impossible for them all to leave... Hey, what is that?"

You Jing looked where his finger was pointing, and saw something flickering behind a canopy of tall reeds.

"Keep your steps light, go over and have a look." Xiao Longya turned his head and gave her a soft instruction, and then he flew his feet into the air and flew towards the reeds first.

You Jing didn't dare to slack off, she stood on her tiptoes stepping on patches of mud, and followed them hop by hop.

"Crack!" Sure enough, you can't just walk around in the silt, You Jing stepped down, but didn't want to step on a sunken puddle, and the mud and sewage splashed together, making a crackling sound.

Xiao Longya, who was about to approach, couldn't help trembling when he heard the sound, and just as he murmured secretly, a scream came from behind the reeds.Suddenly the reeds rustled, and a green creature jumped out of the reeds, desperately rushing towards the depths of the black water.

"Ah! It's injured!" Seeing a dazzling red blood trail behind the creature, You Jing cried out in surprise.

"Follow up! With so much blood, if it is not treated in time, it will definitely die!" Xiao Longya shouted and landed on the ground, his body was no longer suspended.He unfolded his body skills and increased his speed again and again, and after only a few seconds, he was already tens of meters away.

You Jing yelled "Wait for me", and at the same time stepped on the "Phantom Ghost Walk" to follow.

When she finally saw Xiao Longhao, she stopped in her tracks.

The one who jumped out of the reeds earlier was a young girl with dark green hair.Her two white rabbit ears were not covered by hair and stood straight up.You Jing subconsciously touched the carrot ornament in her pocket, it turned out that the Zhen clan was a rabbit, no wonder they wore such strange things.

The girl from the Zhen clan was standing on a section of the broken bridge at this time, her face was flushed, she was panting, and she was still covering her chest with one hand, from where streams of blood flowed.And Xiao Longhao was standing on the other side of the broken bridge, watching her all the time.

"Go away! Get out of here! Don't come near me!" Even though she was seriously injured, the girl from the Zhen Clan was not timid at all, instead she glared at Xiao Longhao and threatened by gritting her teeth.

"Girl, I think you have misunderstood." Xiao Longya frowned and explained, "We have no malicious intentions, someone from Lingxian Island entrusted us to find you..."

"Stop the rhetoric! Cough cough... Get out of here!" As if she had touched the injury, a blush appeared on the face of the Zhen Clan girl, and a strand of black blood flowed from her mouth.

"You are hurt too badly, I have to treat you!" Looking at the black blood, Xiao Long's expression became more serious, and he took a step forward while talking.

"I want you to care! Go away! Don't come close to me!" The girl from the Zhen Clan was almost hysterical at him, "I warn you! If you come any closer, I will fight you!"

"Piao Ling, this..." Seeing that the Zhen Clan girl had assumed an attacking stance, she quietly looked at Xiao Longyu in embarrassment.

"It doesn't matter." Xiao Longhao said two words lightly.He suddenly stretched out his hand and tightly grasped the girl from the Zhen Clan.The Zhen Clan girl was startled, and when she came to her senses, Xiao Longha had cut her hands behind her back.She struggled, but Xiao Longya's hand was like a pair of iron tongs, the girl from the Zhen Clan did not manage to break free until her physical strength was exhausted.

"Bastard! Let me go...!" Looking at the green brilliance on Xiao Longya's other hand, the girl from the Zhen clan closed her eyes in despair.

"Really, I was kind enough to save you, but I would still be called a 'bastard' by you." Xiao Longya gave her an annoyed look, and the green flower in his hand covered the wound of the girl from the Zhen family.

"Hmm...?" The girl of the Zhen Clan was surprised to find that she was no longer as uncomfortable as before. She couldn't help but opened her eyes and lowered her head to look at the wound, only to see that wherever the green flower was shrouded, the blood had already solidified, and the wound was dying. Heals at a speed visible to the naked eye.

The green flowers dispersed, and the girl from the Zhen clan stared blankly at the two of them.At this time, Xiao Longha had already let go of his hand, retreated to You Jing's side, and stood with his arms folded in front of his chest.

"The injury... is it really, really healed?" After a moment of careful consideration, the girl from the Zhen Clan raised her head in disbelief, "Aren't you really bad people?"

"Yes, we have said that we have no malicious intentions." Xiao Longya nodded helplessly, then pointed at You Jing, "This little girl... Uh, my sister has something here, I wonder if it was you who dropped it?"

You Jing hurriedly took out the carrot tied with a bell, and handed it over.

The girl from the Zhen clan took the carrot ornament in a daze, and only took a look, tears suddenly streaming down her face.

Her tears startled You Jing, and when she was about to ask a question, the girl from the Zhen Clan wiped away her tears, carefully put away the carrot ornament, sniffed and looked at You Jing: "I didn't drop this carrot, it was me." A good friend's accessory. Now that you have picked it up, it means...my good friend is no longer here..."

Speaking of this, the Zhen Clan girl couldn't help sobbing again: "My name is Mo Lan, and I am a member of the Zhen Clan who used to live here. Three years ago, the creatures in this water area suddenly became irritable. They killed each other and wantonly Attacking passers-by. We thought it was just a massacre between creatures, but one day the elders of my clan suddenly noticed a trace of violence..."

"Is it 'demon energy'?" Xiao Longhao asked.

Moran nodded: "Well, the elders told us that these creatures were invaded by demonic energy, lost their minds, and finally died of pain due to excessive hostility. What's even more frightening is that after this, even our Zhen clan members You can't escape the fate of being invaded by demon energy."

"I heard the old man Izumoko from Lingxian Island say this," You Jing recalled, "It was the old man Izumoko who asked me to come to you with this carrot ornament."

"Some seniors on Lingxian Island knew our Zhen clan. When they realized that something was wrong, an old man had already sounded the alarm for us, telling us to leave this place quickly, otherwise more Zhen clan members would lose their lives. It's just that ..." Moran paused, "This water area is our home and will always be. How could we leave!"

"Then what happened to your injury?" Hearing this, Xiao Longhao couldn't help asking.

"Actually, several of my partners and I left here a year ago in order to find the 'blood energy spar' that can purify the magic energy." Moran continued, "I heard from the elders in the clan that only the mineral veins The 'Blood Energy Spar' that is full of blood in the depths can set up an enchantment to purify the demonic energy of all creatures in this water area - this is something only we Zhen Clan can do."

"As for my injury, it's been half a month ago." Moran seemed to recall something terrible, her eyes became blurred, and she tremblingly said, "We found in the depths of the Dream Swamp I found a mine vein with blood energy spar, which is next to a cave. Just when we happily wanted to dig, a large group of humans in strange costumes suddenly emerged from the cave and surrounded us. Their bodies There is also a similar demonic energy, and...it is very powerful. My three companions all died in the hands of those people in order to cover me and my companion to break through..."

"Before I broke out, I was injured by one of those people, and I fled back to this water area with my partner." Moran lowered his head and shed tears again, "The house leak happened to rain all night, When we were collecting herbs, we even encountered a thousand-year-old white snake. My partner lured away the thousand-year-old white snake and lost me. I didn't expect that she had..."

"Then, what can we do for you?" After hearing her words, You Jing's nose was sore, and she blurted out this sentence.

"I beg you! Help me bring back the 'Blood Energy Crystals' from Mimengze!" With a "plop", Moran actually knelt down to the two, "I must use them to set up barriers! I don't want to see them again More clansman and kind-hearted creatures are being invaded by demon energy! I beg you!"
