Princess of Nongmen

Chapter 2389 Water Monster
Liu Ya gave the order to wade across the water, and someone let out a sound of amazement.Because although it is spring now, it is not yet the season to swim.The water made of snow is even more bone-chilling.

In such weather, ordinary people will lose consciousness due to hypothermia within half an hour after entering the water.And those with a little bit of martial arts foundation, at most one hour is the limit.

"Master, I think it's better to go around. Your body is important." Aning also objected, but she was thinking of Liu Ya.

Liu Ya frowned, and went to the water's edge to test the water temperature.He raised his head again to measure the straight-line distance on the other side, and said: "With my speed and endurance, if I go through it with all my strength, it will take less than an hour, and I can hold it."

Jin Lan also came to Liu Ya's side, and also lowered her head to touch the water.The chill went straight to the depths of his joints, causing his fingertips to shrink back, and his face turned pale.

Jin Lan turned to Liu Ya and said, "Master, this water is not good. The water is stagnant, and it will be colder."

If it is flowing water, the water will be slightly warmer as the temperature rises.But if it is stagnant water, the surface of the water will be a little hotter, but it will get colder as it goes down, so it will be more unbearable for people to be in stagnant water.

Liu Ya patted Jinlan on the shoulder, nodded to Aning again, and said, "You believe in me, I can do it. Besides, the road in the desert is so difficult, we have already wasted some time. If we delay another day now , I’m afraid we won’t be able to arrive at the appointed time.”

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya said to the people behind: "Get ready to cross the water. Abandon all unnecessary equipment, including food, extra clothes, etc. We must travel lightly and reach the other side as quickly as possible."

Shi Qi remained silent all along, he was actually waiting for Liu Ya's decision.No matter what Liu Ya decides, he will obey, it's just that he treats it differently.

Now that Liu Ya decided to cross the water, he came over quickly, stood beside Liu Ya, and said in a low voice: "Master, I will go with you."

"Yeah." Liu Ya already had a tacit understanding with Shi Qi.If the two cooperate, the speed of crossing this water will be faster, and naturally it will be safer.

Liu Ya turned her head to Aning again and said, "You and Jin Lan are in the same group. Follow me and Shi Qi, let's go first."

After finishing speaking, Liu Ya rearranged and packed the supplies on her body.

Food and such were completely lost.I only brought one set of clothes, and put it on my head after wrapping it up.In this way, even when you have to swim, your clothes will not get wet, and you will still have to change after landing.

Liu Ya and Shi Qi went into the water first, and they walked side by side.Shi Qi's attention was all on Liu Ya.

Aning and Jin Lan walked on the other side of Liu Ya.Behind them were the five thousand one hundred soldiers.

The snow water is freezing cold, and the depths of the puddles are still different.Sometimes when you encounter a muddy bottom, half of your shoes get stuck when you step down, which can be said to be difficult.

Fortunately, it is not too deep.Halfway through, the deepest point is just past Liu Ya's waist.

Moreover, when Shi Qi encountered a deep place, he supported Liu Ya's arm vigorously, making her much lighter.

The line behind was very long.Some people have just entered the water, and some are even hesitating and watching on the shore, wondering if they have already retreated.

At this time, Liu Ya was too lazy to even talk about mobilization.She will never be relentless if she retreats before the battle.

Battle exploits are always accompanied by sacrifices. When they went to war, they had already recorded their names in the heavenly book. Now they don't want to take risks or endure hardships. Is it possible?
Seeing that there was still one-third of the distance to reach the shore, Liu Ya's legs were already numb from the cold, and her knee joints and injured ankles were even more painful.

Liu Ya gritted her teeth, and suddenly her palms felt warm. It turned out that Shi Qi was holding her hand and sending her inner strength.

"No need, I can still hold on. Keep your internal strength, don't use it unless it is absolutely necessary." Liu Ya said, and she insisted on shaking off Shi Qi's hand.

Shi Qi pursed his lips and was about to say something, when he suddenly heard Aning scream from behind: "Jinlan!"

Liu Ya and Shi Qi turned their heads at the same time, and saw that Aning had rushed towards the direction where Jin Lan was standing just now.

But now there are only circles of ripples left at Jin Lan's position, and Jin Lan's shadow is nowhere to be seen at all.

Liu Ya thought that it must be that Jin Lan couldn't hold on anymore and fell headlong into the water.

"Seventeen, save him." Liu Ya called out and walked in that direction.

Shi Qi grabbed Liu Ya and said: "You stay here, I will go." Then he said: "A Ning, come to the master's side."

Aning and Shi Qi quickly changed positions, and Aning led Liu Ya forward.

Liu Ya originally wanted to stay and check on Jin Lan's situation, but Aning hurriedly said: "Master, hurry up. There seems to be something down there. Jin Lan didn't fall down by herself."

"What did you say?" Liu Ya didn't expect such a situation, she grabbed Aning's hand and asked anxiously: "You mean there are water beasts in this water lake?"

"Yes. It seems to be a big fish." Aning nodded, and pulled Liuya even more anxiously, saying, "Just now, Jinlan and I felt something hit our legs at the same time. The two of us are feeling strange, Jinlan He fell down all at once. Besides, the water is not deep, and Jin Lan is also tall, so it stands to reason that he wouldn't fall down all at once, even without a shadow."

Indeed, when Liu Ya and Shi Qi turned their heads when they heard the voice, Jin Lan had already disappeared.Even if Jin Lan was numb from the cold and fell into it, it's impossible that she didn't struggle at all.

From this point of view, it seemed that something had dragged her into the water, and Jin Lan struggled to get out.

"Seventeen, be careful, there is something down there." Liu Ya warned Seventeen, and then said loudly: "Listen, people behind, go ashore quickly, go ashore as soon as possible, regardless of any direction."

But as soon as Liu Ya's words fell, someone in the center not far away screamed again.

Liu Ya turned her head when she heard the sound, just in time to see a huge fan-shaped tail sweeping across the water.And that person was dragged into the water all of a sudden, without a trace.

"What's that? A fish or a snake? That tail is so weird."

"It doesn't have scales. It looks like a loach. But it's a big one."

"Run. Have you ever seen a loach that can eat people?"

Some of the soldiers in the back raised questions at first, but immediately someone reacted and ran away screaming.

Liu Ya was dragged by Aning to the shore, but she suddenly saw a string of bubbles popping up behind Shi Qi, and the muddy water also began to churn.

Shi Qi was bending over to touch the sinking Jin Lan at this time, probably not paying attention to the back.And immediately after the string of bubbles, a black, naked thing popped out.

"Seventeen, be careful behind you." Liu Ya screamed, pulled out the dagger from her waist, and threw it out suddenly.
