Big Moon Ballad

Chapter 2259 Trial
Ying Baoyue took Xiao Li Ji to the lake, and the cold breath came over her face.

"Sister, here is..."

Xiao Li Ji looked at the lake in confusion, seeing that Ying Baoyue meant that he was not going to move forward.She took him so far just to come to this lake?

What are you doing in this lake?
Ying Baoyue stood still by the lake, glanced at Xiao Li Ji, and said calmly, "Take off your clothes and shoes."

"Huh?" Xiao Li Ji was dumbfounded, and his face quickly turned red to the ears.

"Just take off your shirt," Ying Baoyue said helplessly, "I made your coat."

After jumping into the lake and tossing around, the clothes must have been ruined, and it is inconvenient to wear outer clothes for some things.

"Oh, okay," Xiao Li Ji hurriedly took off his clothes and shoes, and neatly put them on the shore together with the mask he must wear when going out.

He stood shirtless on the shore, looked back at Ying Baoyue, "Sister, are you going into the water?"

Ying Baoyue's meaning was very clear, and he was not afraid of water, but he didn't know what Ying Baoyue wanted him to do in the water.

By now, little Li Ji could probably guess that Ying Baoyue brought him to this place, probably to test him.Xiao Li Ji had heard before that only when a practitioner is pushed to the extreme can his realm be improved.

But just let him swim, what kind of test is this?
Although no one taught him, after living in the cloud forest, Xiao Liji discovered that he has excellent water skills. Not only can he swim naturally, but he can even hold his breath for an extremely long time under the water surface.

He usually likes to go swimming in the lake. Although this water area is very strange, it does not pose a threat to him at all.

Ying Baoyue stood silently by the lake, and suddenly drew his sword out of its sheath.

"elder sister?"

Jian Qi rushed out from behind, Xiao Li Ji was startled.

Ying Baoyue still didn't speak, and raised his hand, the red lotus sword with its scabbard drew a long arc on the lake, plopped, and fell into the depths of the lake.

"Sister, you..."

Xiao Li Ji stared blankly at this scene, too frightened to speak.

The sword is as important as life to a swordsman, and the red lotus sword is Ying Baoyue's most important thing. Every night he can see Ying Baoyue sitting by the fire and carefully wiping his sword.

But now, Ying Baoyue threw his sword into the lake?

"Go get it back for me."

Ying Baoyue stood by the lake expressionlessly, and said calmly, "This is your task for today."

"If you can't pick it up, you don't have to come back."

"I, I'll pick it up right away." Xiao Li Ji replied with some stuttering, his heart clenched into a ball.

Compared with Ying Baoyue's behavior, her tone at this time scares him even more.

I don't know if his emotions have affected his body, Xiao Li Ji only felt that his hands and feet were cold, as if the stiffness was not his own.

Looking at his appearance, Ying Baoyue opened her mouth to say something, but in the end she said nothing and pursed her lips tightly.

Xiao Li Ji took a deep breath and jumped into the water with a pale face.

With a plop, a few drops of cold water splashed onto Ying Baoyue's cheeks.

She stared at the ripples on the water and wiped them away expressionlessly.

……

……

It's deep, it's cold, it's dark.

This was Xiao Li Ji's first feeling after entering the water.

Although he is familiar with water, he has no realm after all, and he can't stay underwater for too long, so he dives with all his strength when he gets out of the water, just wanting to reach the bottom as soon as possible.

Little Li Ji kept swimming towards the direction Ying Baoyue threw the sword that he remembered in his mind, and he had already swam dozens of feet in a moment, but he still couldn't see the bottom of the lake.

If it were Yueyang Lake at the door, the soles of his feet would already be on the soft lake mud.

A tingling pain came from his toes, as if he had been bitten, and Xiao Li Ji's heart tightened, knowing that his toes were cramped.

He was in a hurry to get into the water, and he jumped before he had time to stretch his body. In addition, the water temperature was extremely low, so it was certain that he would suffer from cramps.

If he was in Moon Ridge Lake at this time, he would not have to be afraid at all.Because Ying Baoyue could sense his aura, if there was anything wrong with him, she would immediately come to rescue him.

But at this time, although Ying Baoyue was standing by the lake, Xiao Li Ji had a premonition in his heart.

No matter what happens to him today, Ying Baoyue will not care about him.

Thinking of the resolute figure by the lake, Xiao Li Ji felt a pang of sadness in his heart.

No, no, Ying Baoyue did this for his own good, what was he thinking.

Although panicked in his heart, Xiao Li Ji still restrained his emotions and adjusted his position in the water, slowly stretching his hand towards his cramped toe.

Once, twice, all right!
The cramping feeling disappeared, and Xiao Li Ji kicked his legs and continued to swim downstream.

The light below the surface was getting dimmer, almost to the point of being illegible.Little Li Ji struggled to open his eyes wide, felt in his bosom, and took out a glowing bead.

This is a night pearl the size of an egg, which was given to him by Ying Baoyue as a toy about three months ago.At that time, he didn't know the value of this thing, he just regarded it as an ordinary gadget.As a result, when he was going to the market, he took it out to play, but someone saw it, and when he went back, he and Ying Baoyue were hunted down by more than a dozen killers just to grab this bead.

Only then did he know the value of what Ying Baoyue gave him casually.

With the help of the light of the night pearl, Xiao Li Ji continued to go downstream until the air in his lungs was almost consumed, and he finally saw the bottom of the lake.

Xiao Li Ji was happy and worried at the same time.

Although he saw the bottom of the lake, he couldn't hold it anymore, and he probably couldn't hold it until he found the Red Lotus Sword.

The top priority, he should go up to take a breath, but after finally diving to such a depth, he is not reconciled to just floating up like this.

Little Li Ji made up his mind, and decided to look for it below first, and it would not be too late to find the approximate location before going up.

The feeling of suffocation followed like a shadow, and the soles of Xiao Li Ji's feet finally stepped on the bottom of the lake.

The sand at the bottom of the lake was icy cold, and he seemed to have fallen into an ice cellar.

Little Li Ji shivered all over. He was not afraid of water, but he was very afraid of the cold.At this time, the coldness at the bottom of the lake was like a sharp knife, piercing into his bones bit by bit.

This reminded him of the warm blanket he slept in last night, and the person beside him who radiated warmth all the time.

Now that person is probably standing on the shore, staring at the lake with cold eyes.

To him, she was both close and distant, warm and cold.Sometimes he understood what she was thinking, but sometimes he felt he would never be able to read her through.

In the icy lake water, Xiao Li Ji tightened his body, realizing that there was very little Qi left in his body.

No way, if he doesn't float up, he will drown.

Little Li Ji gritted his teeth and prepared to float up.

But at this moment, he suddenly felt a hint of warmth from the lake behind him.

This is……

Xiao Li Ji was shocked.

Red Lotus Sword!
The red lotus sword is the sword of Ying Baoyue, the sword of the fire magician, and it is a scorching sword.

How could he forget that even though he couldn't see it with the naked eye, he could find the Red Lotus Sword by temperature!
