Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 1569 Struggling
The cry of the baby echoed on the lake, getting weaker and weaker.

Just when the sound almost completely disappeared, Ying Baoyue closed her eyes, turned around and swam towards the center of the lake.

However, before she could swim far, she bumped into a solid chest.

"Zhaohua?"

Ying Baoyue raised her head in astonishment, and Li Ji opened her arms to block her.

"do not go."

Li Ji shook his head at her with a complicated expression, "This is a trap."

Ji Jiashu also grabbed Ying Baoyue's shoulder from behind.

"Hold the moon! You can't go!"

The three of them were deadlocked on the lake, and Yeluhua, who swam to the lake, pushed Meng Shi, who was dazed in the water, onto the shore, and turned to look at the three in the lake, "His Royal Highness, what's going on? "

To be honest, Yeluhua didn't think the baby's crying was a trap.

Just because even if it is classified as a trap, this trap is very low-level for practitioners.

After all, don't talk about being warm-hearted, practitioners are more ruthless than ordinary people.

Yeluhua was very sure that the other participants who had crossed the lake before would swim over without paying any attention to the sound.

Few practitioners will stop at all, it is not a test.

This kind of thing is not even a checkpoint.

It's just that he didn't expect Ying Baoyue to be left behind by the voice.

It would be fine if the parents with children would feel pity, Ying Baoyue is obviously not married yet.

"She doesn't really think there will be children in this kind of place, does she?" Yeluhua frowned.

"You don't understand," Meng Shi murmured while standing on the shore, "You won't understand."

Only those who know who Ying Baoyue is will understand that it is impossible for her to leave this voice behind.

No one will stay, but only she will definitely stay.

Even if she knew it was a trap, she would definitely go back.

Because, if she didn't go back, it would be tantamount to denying the existence of Lin Baoyue.

"A Ji, get out of the way!"

Looking at Li Ji who was blocking the way, Ying Baoyue said softly, "Don't force me to do it."

Li Ji shook his head resolutely, and Ying Baoyue clenched the hilt of his sword tightly.

Ji Jiashu's hand on Ying Baoyue's shoulder also tightened.

The three of them were at war with each other.

Looking at this scene, a question suddenly popped up in Meng Shi's mind, how could there be a baby crying just in this place?
Could this be a trap specifically targeting Ying Baoyue?

Thinking of this, Meng Shi became more and more uneasy.

Meng Shi is not the only one who thinks of this.

"Well, I'll go and see."

Seeing that Ying Baoyue was about to draw his sword, Li Ji suddenly said.

Ying Baoyue was taken aback, "What did you say?"

"I said I'll go and see," Li Ji looked into her eyes calmly, "You stay here, I'll go to that cave to check."

"But..." Ying Baoyue hesitated to speak.

"This trap can only keep you alone, so it is a trap only for you," Li Ji's eyes were as cold as ice, "so don't go, I will go."

He wants to see what kind of monster it is that can guess people's hearts so much, and why it targets Ying Baoyue.

After speaking, without waiting for Ying Baoyue to stop him, Li Ji quickly turned around and swam towards the center of the lake.

"Zhaohua!"

Ying Baoyue stretched out her hand suddenly, but was held down by Ji Jiashu from behind.

"Zhaohua's words will be fine," Ji Jiashu stared at Li Ji's back complicatedly, "he has the highest realm."

If one of them is the safest to investigate, it must be Li Ji.

Although this thought was shameful, Ji Jiashu finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Ying Baoyue couldn't ignore the child's crying, it was too dangerous to just let her go.

Li Ji's speed was extremely fast, and it didn't take long to swim to the center of the lake. He stretched out his hand to support the uneven rock wall of the cave, leaned out of the water and turned up.

Zhao Guang, Meng Shi and others who were standing on the bank saw Li Ji approaching the cave, and they all moved closer to look nervously. Many people stepped on the water again.

The previously loud baby cry had completely disappeared.

Li Ji climbed up to the entrance of the karst cave, feeling suddenly nervous.

If there was really a baby inside and had already been killed, then Ying Baoyue would definitely blame herself.

The entrance of the cave was dark, and a slippery and foul smell came from it.

Li Ji mobilized his whole body's true energy to protect his whole body, held his breath and looked inward.

The hole is empty.

Li Ji was startled, and then breathed a sigh of relief.

He raised his head and made a "no" gesture to Ying Baoyue and Ji Jiashu who were in the distance.

But the next moment, the cry of the baby sounded again.

Ying Baoyue and Ji Jiashu were stunned on the lake.

Li Ji's hands froze at the entrance of the hole, and his pupils constricted violently.

He suddenly realized that behind him, at some point, there was a figure standing.

No, is this really a "person"?

A stench came from behind him, and Li Ji stiffened his neck. He didn't look back, but just looked straight at the cave in front of him.

Only then did he see clearly that there was another hole under the cave.

There is black water in the cave, which is connected with the bottom of the lake.

This hole is connected to the entire lake.

Li Ji stood firmly at the entrance of the cave.

Why, just now, he thought that there was a monster imitating the cry of a baby just to lure passing practitioners over?

What if it's the way it sounds?

"Wow! Wow! Wow!"

The harsh cry of the baby echoed across the lake, and it sounded like a scolding sound from a human being.At this moment, Li Ji noticed that the black figure behind him slid back into the lake with a chirp, and the entire lake shook violently.

Li Ji turned his head abruptly, and stretched out his hands to Ji Jiashu and Ying Baoyue on the lake, his voice hoarse.

"Hold the moon, Chunhua, run!"

As soon as his voice sounded, Ying Baoyue turned around and pushed Ji Jiashu towards the shore of the lake.

However, it was too late. The original blue-green lake surface turned black at some point, forming a sharp contrast with the surrounding white snow-capped mountains. The clear and quiet lake surface was as black as a swamp.

At this moment, the swamp shook violently.

Huge water waves rise from the middle of the lake and roll towards the shore.

"Zhao Guang, Meng Shi, leave us alone, run away!"

Ying Baoyue yelled at the other people who were stunned on the shore, Meng Shi, Zhao Guang and others gritted their teeth and rushed towards the forest, but the huge water waves were tens of feet high, and the entire bottom of the lake was stirred up.

A huge black wave rose from behind Ying Baoyue and Ji Jiashu, and suddenly covered the shore.

The big waves were raging, and the waves were rolling, swallowing all the people on and off the shore.

Ying Baoyue opened her eyes wide, only to see that everyone was sucked into the lake and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

"Embrace the moon!"

Hearing the familiar call, she turned around abruptly. The figure of Li Ji who was closest to the center of the lake had almost disappeared, but the next moment Li Ji jumped out of the water and waved to her. Ying Baoyue took a deep breath and was about to swim towards the center of the lake. , Suddenly there was the sound of choking water.

"Hug... month..."

Zhuo Lang slammed the head of the boy beside her into the water, and Ying Baoyue only had time to see a pair of fingertips.

"Jiashu!"

Ying Baoyue plunged into the water, only to see a stream of water tightly wrapping around Ji Jiashu's waist, dragging him to the bottom of the lake.
