Big Moon Ballad

Facing the menacing behemoth behind him, little Li Ji turned around and fled up almost instinctively.

He swam in front, and the giant snake chased after him.

The water rushed past his nose and mouth, and because he was swimming so fast, his eyes were almost blinded by the water.

The lake monster ran extremely fast, and caught up to the distance he had opened before in just a few breaths.Hearing the sound of fabric tearing from behind, Xiao Li Ji's back felt cold, and he turned his head suddenly, only to see a huge head almost reaching the tip of his nose!

hiss!
The snake opened its jaws wide, and fragments of his clothes hung from the tips of its fangs.

Little Li Ji's blood went cold.But he didn't know why, at the moment when he brushed past death like this, his head was still awake.

Perhaps it was because half a year ago, he was so close to death.

The giant snake took its first bite, swallowed its cheeks full of lake water, and spit it out. The water flowing out of its mouth turned into a water column, hitting Xiao Li Ji just right, pushing him upwards.

The lake was close at hand, Xiao Li Ji raised his head, and through the translucent lake water, he could already vaguely see the figure of Ying Baoyue on the shore.

In his panic he couldn't see the expression on her face.It stands to reason that it is impossible for Ying Baoyue to not notice such a big movement at the bottom of the lake.But in the blurred field of vision, Xiao Li Ji only saw Ying Baoyue standing there in the same posture as before, with the usual expression on his face, as if he hadn't seen anything.

Wait, could it be that she really didn't notice anything?
In the midst of life and death, such an idea vaguely emerged in Xiao Li Ji's mind.

It wasn't that he was deceiving himself, but that Ying Baoyue's reaction was too indifferent. Looking down at the lake, his eyes were as calm as ever, as if he ignored the monster.

Even if this monster was arranged by her, if such a huge monster appeared in the field of vision, living people would respond to it.But Ying Baoyue acted as if she couldn't see the monster.

Could it be that she really couldn't see?

Ying Baoyue is a fire magician after all, and this giant monster hidden at the bottom of the lake is undoubtedly a water magic beast, which is a natural enemy for fire magicians.

If this monster uses some method to make Ying Baoyue unaware of its breath, it is entirely possible.

This thought suddenly made Xiao Li Ji's heart tremble.

When he was running for his life just now, he had a question in his mind, why did this monster wake up?

In an unknowable place like Cloud Forest, it is normal for ancient gods to sleep.But for the beasts sleeping in such a deep place at the bottom of the lake, it is reasonable to say that there is no earth shaking that will not be awakened.

What awakened the Old Gods?

is it him?
Xiao Li Ji remembered very clearly that when Ying Baoyue led him out of the formation, he said that from now on his aura would never be detected by other powerful beings.

In other words, his small stature should not disturb the ancient gods.

Could it be that……

Xiao Li Ji looked down at the long sword in his arms that was emitting heat continuously, and his heart beat faster.

Could it be that it was not he who awakened the giant snake at the bottom of the lake, but the Red Lotus Sword?
The next moment, as if to confirm his conjecture, there was a strange sound behind him.

Creaking, creaking, a series of sharp noises came from the snake's mouth.

This giant snake is actually barking.

Xiao Li Ji had never heard the cry of a snake before, so it was impossible for him to understand it, but the series of strange sounds gradually turned into human language in his ears.

It was the voice of a hoarse old man, gnashing his teeth.

"Damn fire mage!"

"Chop into pieces!"

Xiao Li Ji's scalp exploded, and it turned out that the giant snake was coming for the fire magician!
Obviously he had almost fled to the shore, but looking at Ying Baoyue who was getting closer and closer, Xiao Li Ji felt as if he was in an ice cellar.

What has he done?
He led Ying Baoyue's enemies to her side?
By the time he realized this, it was too late.

He had already rushed to the shore, couldn't stop the momentum, and with a plop, Xiao Li Ji's head rushed out of the lake following the inertia.

Pat, clack, the lake water rolled down his hair.

Little Li Ji didn't have time to wipe off the water on his face, so he instinctively opened his eyes, and then saw Ying Baoyue standing on the bank.

Noticing his figure, Ying Baoyue's pupils moved.

Xiao Li Ji opened his mouth, but he didn't have time to say anything.

Boom!

The next moment, water splashed.

A huge figure chased after him, appearing brazenly.

A bloody mouth rose from the lake and rushed towards his body, but Xiao Li Ji was floating on the lake, motionless.

In the nick of time, he noticed that Ying Baoyue's gaze did not move, just looking at him and the splash behind him.

She really couldn't see the snake!
"A Ji?"

Ying Baoyue noticed the change in the expression on Xiao Li Ji's face, and her complexion changed slightly, "You..."

Noticing that Xiao Li Ji was holding the Red Lotus Sword in her arms, she stretched out her hand towards him, "Give the sword to..."

Ying Baoyue couldn't finish speaking.

It was too late and then it was too late, Xiao Li Ji, who had already swam to the shore, looked up at her, holding the sword, suddenly turned around and plunged into the lake again with a plop!
He turned around so decisively, without any hesitation.

"A Ji?!"

Ying Baoyue stared blankly at this scene, stretched out her hand and stopped in mid-air.

The look that Xiao Li Ji looked at her the moment she turned around was branded in her eyes.

Huge water splashes soared into the sky, and the entire lake was in chaos, which gradually subsided after a while.

Ying Baoyue stood by the lake, staring blankly at the ripples on the lake.

This is the deepest lake in the Cloud Forest.

No one knows what happened in the lake.

……

……

down, down.

Farther away, farther away.

The moment he got into the water again, little Li Ji didn't know what he was thinking.He obviously wanted to return to Ying Baoyue so much last moment, but when the giant snake chased him out of the water, there was only one thought left in his mind.

That is to leave her, the farther the better.

The lake water flowed through his mouth and nose, but this time Xiao Li Ji no longer felt suffocated.

This turbid and cold lake is so familiar to him, like his hometown, and also like his destination.

It is also the place of burial he chose for himself.

If one day he will die, he will probably die in the water.

Xiao Li Ji had an inexplicable hallucination, as if he had been soaked in such water for a long time, so long that he himself forgot.

He was born in the water and died in the water. The water gave him everything and will take everything away from him.

Suddenly, little Li Ji didn't feel afraid anymore.

The water is not scary, but this does not mean that the monsters in the lake are not scary.

The fierce water rushed out behind him, Xiao Li Ji heaved a sigh of relief.

When he got into the lake again, he was worried whether the monster would catch up. Fortunately, the giant snake seemed more interested in the sword in his arms than Ying Baoyue on the shore.

Seeing him turn around and run away, the monster that was about to rush ashore angrily neighed, and returned to the lake with a flick of its tail.

An unparalleled sense of oppression came from behind, and Xiao Li Jifu turned around in the lake, quietly facing the behemoth behind him.
