Ning Cheng did not have time to think about it, as he directly jumped into the lake, he did not even have the time to ask Yin Kongchan the reason. What he feared was that Xu Yingdei did not know how to swim, and that the lake was very deep.
From the time Xu Yingdei disappeared from the lake to Ning Cheng jumping into it, it was only a breath or two.
Yin Kongchan looked at Ning Cheng jumping into the lake, and only reacted after a long while, Ning Cheng unexpectedly did not ask her the specific reason. She sighed, if it were her, even if she wanted to go down to save someone, she would first ask what was going on.
She knew that Ning Cheng was not a good person, but she also understood why Ning Cheng was so eager to save Xu Yingdei. It should be that Xu Yingdei had finally influenced him, but he had not noticed it yet.
The Burning Life Pill burned her lifespan to save Ning Cheng, before cutting her wrists to feed Ning Cheng, as well as the words' I'll help you '….
Some things in the eyes of others were absurd, but for people like Ning Cheng, it was just too appropriate. What she had said to Ning Cheng before was completely wrong, before she had said that Xu Yingdei had cut her wrists to save Ning Cheng, it was because she did not understand Ning Cheng. Now it seems that Xu Yingdei did not understand Ning Cheng, but rather she understood Ning Cheng too well. It was only because she and Xu Yingdei stood at a different point, as such the way they looked at the problem was also different.
This seemingly stupid thing, but it was leaving more and more marks in Ning Cheng's heart, perhaps even Ning Cheng himself was not aware of it. Yin Kongchan suddenly thought, if she had fallen into the lake a moment ago, would Ning Cheng not ask anything, and immediately jump in to save her? Or would he first ask clearly, and then think of a way to save her? Or would he not save her at all?
Ning Cheng had just jumped into the water, when he immediately understood what was going on, a ribbon-like thing stretched out and wrapped around his leg. Not waiting for him to react, another ribbon-like thing wrapped around his leg.
Ning Cheng did not hesitate to pull out the tri edged thorn from his calf, and directly cut off the ribbon that wrapped around his leg. This thing that wrapped around Ning Cheng, seemed to know that it was afraid of pain, as after Ning Cheng cut off one of the ribbons, the rest immediately retracted.
Knowing that it was these seaweeds that were similar to kelp, Ning Cheng felt relieved in his heart. His speed rapidly increased, and soon he arrived at the bottom of the lake, at the same time he caught Xu Yingdei, who had been dragged into the water by the algae.
Xu Yingdei was clumsily grabbing in all directions, at this time she suddenly caught Ning Cheng's hand, and immediately grabbed it back.
Ning Cheng was startled in his heart, once he was caught by Xu Yingdei, he would not be able to help Xu Yingdei cut off the seaweed on her body, even he himself would be in danger.
Just when Ning Cheng wanted to avoid Xu Yingdei, Xu Yingdei seemed to have felt that it was Ning Cheng, as she unexpectedly let go of her hand. Ning Cheng's heart loosened up a bit, as he waved the three edged thorn in his hands a few times.
The seaweed wrapping around Xu Yingdei's body immediately retreated, and soon Xu Yingdei's body was completely empty. Ning Cheng grabbed Xu Yingdei, and quickly brought her to the surface of the lake.
Yin Kongchan, who was extremely nervous at the lakeside, on seeing Ning Cheng come up with Xu Yingdei, gave a sigh of relief and quickly came forward to help.
After Xu Yingdei came ashore, she quickly stood to the side, and spat out a few mouthfuls of water, before she softly looked at Ning Cheng and said, "Thank you."
"We are just helping each other, you also helped me before … …" Ning Cheng's words came to an abrupt end.
Before, because he was busy saving people, he did not care about it. At this time, Xu Yingdei's clothes were sticking to her body, and under the bright moonlight, her curves were clearly contrasted, which made Ning Cheng, who had been cultivating the Embracing Yang God Tactic, feel his mouth dry and his tongue coarse. He subconsciously glanced at Yin Kongchan, who looked exactly the same as Xu Yingdei.
When Yin Kongchan saw Ning Cheng's gaze, she was not even half a shred of shyness, she just looked at Xu Yingdei and spoke, "You said that you would help him, you can go ahead and do it, I will pretend that I did not see anything."
Xu Yingdei was still looking at Ning Cheng with her clear eyes, but the gentleness in her eyes was almost enough to melt people, it was obvious that she did not mind what Yin Kongchan had said a moment ago.
Ning Cheng coughed, as he picked up the half piece of seaweed that he had just brought out, and changed the topic, "I do not know what this thing is, but it is able to take the initiative to entangle people."
Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei both shook their heads, the two of them did not know anything about this kind of seaweed.
"I want to go down and have a look, I feel that this kind of seaweed seems to have some uses." Ning Cheng said as he raised the half piece of seaweed in his hands.
Hearing that Ning Cheng still wanted to go down, Xu Yingdei hurriedly spoke up, "You don't have to go down, I feel that this lake is somewhat strange."
Yin Kongchan also spoke up, "Why don't we wait until tomorrow to have a look, there are indeed a lot of strange things happening in the night."
Ning Cheng also felt that even if they wanted to go down and have a look, they did not need to go down right now.
After experiencing this incident, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei, the two of them, did not dare to rush into the lake, and just went to the lakeside to wash up.
After the three of them finished washing up, Ning Cheng used his tri edged thorn to cut down some poplar branches, and then set up a temporary tent. The tent was not small, even if the three of them were to rest, it would still leave a large space.
… …
Early the next morning, Ning Cheng was awakened by a loud noise. He opened his eyes, but found that Xu Yingdei and Yin Kongchan who were beside him had also woken up at the same time.
The tent that Ning Cheng had set up was not small, as such the three of them did not need to squeeze together to sleep. Moreover, Ning Cheng also knew that Xu Yingdei and Yin Kongchan would take turns to stand guard, so how could they fall asleep? Moreover, they even dared to squeeze next to him to sleep?
"There are ghosts in this lake, we do not dare to stay outside." Yin Kongchan saw Ning Cheng looking at them in doubt, and quickly spoke up.
"Let's talk about this later, there is a lot of noise outside, it seems like a lot of people have arrived, let's go out and have a look." Ning Cheng said as he walked out of the tent.
Sure enough, there were a lot of people outside, a total of seven men and women, in addition to that, there were also two beast carriages.
These people were completely different from the two men in the desert who were dehydrated, apart from some sand and dust on their bodies, each and every one of them was full of energy, and looked no different from ordinary people.
At this time, these seven people were surrounding Ning Cheng's tent, and seemed to be waiting for the Ning Cheng trio to come out.
They were headed by a dark-skinned man with small eyes, at first glance one could tell that he was a very astute person.
When he saw Ning Cheng coming out of the tent with Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei, he seemed to be somewhat surprised. When he saw Xu Yingdei and Yin Kongchan again, his eyes even revealed a shocked expression.
Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei, because they had just taken a bath, had also washed their clothes, and once again restored their original beauty.
When Ning Cheng saw these people, he immediately stopped, he was ready to pull out the tri edged thorn at any time, but the other party did not act as Ning Cheng thought.
The small eyed man, who was the leader of the group, politely asked, "Are the few of you also here to look for Aquatic Essence Tendons?"
Aquatic Essence Tendons? Ning Cheng did not know anything about Aquatic Essence Tendons, as such he could only speak up, "We are not looking for Aquatic Essence Tendons, but because we mistakenly entered the desert, we accidentally lost our way, can I ask how long it will take to get out of here?"
Hearing that Ning Cheng trio were not looking for Aquatic Essence Tendons, the small eyed man was slightly disappointed, but still spoke with enthusiasm, "From here, it will take us half a month, at that time the two of you can follow our beast carriage to the Ya Lun City."
"Many thanks, my name is Ning Cheng, and these two are my companions, Yin Kongchan and Xu Yingdei, I have not yet asked this friend for his name?" Ning Cheng on hearing that he could follow these people out of the desert, immediately cupped his fists in gratitude.
"My name is Ma Ang, this time everyone came together to collect Aquatic Essence Tendons." Ma Ang politely replied to Ning Cheng's words, while simultaneously introducing the people around him to Ning Cheng one by one.
Ning Cheng saw one of the young men holding a piece of the same kind of seaweed that he had brought with him yesterday, and asked Ma Ang in a puzzled manner, "Elder Brother Ma, is the Aquatic Essence Tendons that you are talking about a kind of seaweed that grows in this lake?"
Ma Ang quickly spoke up, "Yes, it is this kind of seaweed. Because this kind of thing is far from the Ya Lun City, and is also in the middle of the desert, it is extremely difficult to obtain, as such its value is extremely high. "
"What is its value?" Ning Cheng also felt that this kind of seaweed was not ordinary.
Ma Ang solemnly spoke, "Aquatic Essence Tendons contain a kind of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, in the space that we live in, things that contain Heaven and Earth Essence Qi are extremely rare, and Aquatic Essence Tendons are one of the most valuable of them all. Because of this Aquatic Essence Tendons contain this kind of Heaven and Earth Essence Qi, as such we can extract the Essence Qi from the Aquatic Essence Tendons and make it into an Aquatic Essence Pill, which can be used by some martial artists for cultivation. Because of this, the value of Aquatic Essence Tendons is very high. Even a small piece of it can be sold for a silver coin. "
Ning Cheng couldn't help but think that it was no wonder, when he cut off the Aquatic Essence Tendons, he could feel its value. It turned out that this thing also contained Essence Qi, which was similar to a Qi Gathering Stone.
"There are a lot of Aquatic Essence Tendons down here, why do you say that it is difficult to obtain?" Ning Cheng thought back to last night when he went into the lake, it was only a short time, but he was already entangled by this kind of Aquatic Essence Tendons, it showed that this lake was filled with them.
Ma Ang sighed and spoke, "Elder Brother Ning, you do not know, but the Aquatic Essence Tendons are exceptionally tough, moreover if you are not careful and are entangled by them, then it would only lead to a situation of death. Every time we come here, we have to go through untold hardships in order to obtain just a little bit. "
Exceptionally tough? Ning Cheng thought back to his tri edged thorn that could easily cut off a strand of Aquatic Essence Tendons, so how could he say that it was exceptionally tough? He quickly reacted. The tools that these people were carrying on their backs were all made of ordinary iron, it was simply the worst kind of weapons.
Although his tri edged thorn was trash, it was still something that he had refined using good materials, it was obviously not something that these people's weapons could compare to.
"Moreover, this lake is very dangerous to stay here at night, this lake is called the White Robed Ghost Lake. It is very easy to lose your soul here at night, and turn into a walking corpse. Therefore, we do not dare to stay here at night, but the three of you were able to stay here for the whole night, it is really lucky. "Ma Ang continued to explain.
Ning Cheng suddenly remembered what Yin Kongchan had said before, and thought in his heart, was there really a ghost in this lake? But since he went down yesterday, until now, why did nothing happen to him?
Thinking till here, Ning Cheng once again spoke, "Elder Brother Ma, what do you think about this? I will go and get the Aquatic Essence Tendons, and we can split the money we earn in half. "
