Qiuqiu combed her hair and washed her face before leaving their temporary location. By chance, she met the guard, so the solo exploration turned into a two-player team mode.
Qiuqiu knew that Guan Wei was not someone to chat with. She could at most ask him for advice on swordsmanship, but Qiuqiu didn't have much to ask for. She was far behind Guan Wei in terms of swordsmanship.
She is a newbie who has just started, and the guard has at least reached the level of a master's degree. Qiuqiu's current problem is not a theoretical problem, it is simply that she has little experience and needs more experience.
Of course there is no need to ask for advice on this.
The two of them were silent all the way, and Qiuqiu began to think about this trial cave.
There is no doubt that this place is the same as the trial array in Xiuyuan Mountain. It is also a wonderful space formed by setting up many formations. But in terms of scale, it is many times larger than the trial array in Xiuyuan Mountain. At least before Qiuqiu.
I heard what is going on in the trial formation at Xiuyuan Mountain. There are ferocious beasts and poisonous snakes, as well as monster-like opponents created using formations, puppetry and other advanced techniques that Qiuqiu doesn’t know about. Of course.
, there is definitely a big gap compared to real monsters.
By the way, there are also real-life opponents.
But those who have been in there can't tell whether the opponents are real people or puppets.
Qiuqiu thought that these things must be present in Jiufeng's trial cave. It's just that they are still at the outermost edge, so they haven't come into contact with them.
When thinking about the challenges ahead, Qiuqiu feels that Yali Mountain is huge, but at the same time she is a little eager to give it a try.
This kind of opportunity is rare. You can tell by looking at the people who came to Jiufeng this time. Except for two elders and four or five older people, the others are all new generations. It is estimated that eight out of ten are running.
Shi'er mentioned the location of Palm Peak. Qiuqiu admitted that she was just pretending to be in there. If it weren't for her relationship with Shi'er, she probably wouldn't have been able to come here to try and improve her level.
But even if she is a promiscuous person, Qiuqiu is still very motivated.
The more she learns, the more she sees, and the more she learns, the more she learns. When it is no longer possible and she has to quit, she hopes that she will not leave any regrets or regrets.
She also practiced swordsmanship diligently before. But this was because she had to practice and developed a habit.
But last night, the guard's demonstration and tricks made her experience a whole new level of fun in swordsmanship.
Qiuqiu did not pull out the sword, but she raised her index and middle fingers together, silently simulating sword moves while walking.
How to avoid and defuse if the opponent's sword stabs you straight, and how to deal with it if it is slashed... There are several sword moves available, but which one is the most suitable? I have rehearsed this move in my mind, and it doesn't seem to be quite right.
Perfect, then try another trick——
This feeling is like using formulas to solve arithmetic problems before. There are several ways to solve the same problem, and among them there must be one that is the simplest, easiest, most direct and effective.
She only knows this basic set of swordsmanship. As for other swordsmanship, she can probably only wait until Master Yuxia wakes up before teaching her.
However, this is just the simplest set of introductory swordsmanship. It is not easy to master and apply it proficiently.
It's very mysterious, and it's really fun.
They had almost walked all over the river beach. The swaying reed flowers made people's eyes slightly dizzy. Qiuqiu raised her head and squinted at the sky. It was not yet noon, but the sun had already hidden behind the clouds at some point.
"Brother Guan, look at the sky. Will it rain?"
"possible."
Guan Wei spoke concisely and to the point, turned around, and Qiuqiu followed him back.
Before they could reach the place where they rested last night, the sky was completely overcast, the wind was getting stronger and stronger, and there was a heavy rain in sight.
Qiuqiu is not afraid of rain, but when it rains, it will be even more difficult to find clues to the entrance. They don't know when the rain will fall, and their time will be delayed.
Chunyu and Keren also came back. The rain had already fallen, and the slightest strands of rain brushed their faces, bringing a slight chill.
Qiuqiu took out an umbrella from the Qiankun bag, handed one to Chunyu, and then handed one to Guan Wei, but Guan Wei didn't take it.
Qiuqiu supports herself.
Keren asked curiously: "Is this the umbrella from the Central Plains?"
"Yes." There were several handfuls in the Qiuqiu Qiankun bag, and the patterns painted on the umbrellas were all different. Some were painted with lotus flowers, misty rain, and some were painted with ink and weeping willows. She thought it was interesting at the time, so she collected several handfuls in the Qiankun bag.
Inside.
The rain gradually became heavier.
Qiuqiu held the umbrella handle and thought about finding the entrance.
What will this entrance look like? Of course it cannot be a tall and wide door with words like: Second floor entrance, welcome, clearly posted on it.
If that's the case, there's no need to look for it.
Since this is the entrance, and they have already explored the entire area, and there are no stone gates or caves, then this entrance may be very hidden.
Is it under the river?
Qiuqiu's eyes turned to the river in the rain.
On the shore, there are so many reeds blocking the view, and there are long grasses underfoot.
Is it possible to get underfoot?
Or is it like when she was washing her face by the stream and was suddenly teleported to another place on the map at random? Does it need to be triggered in a specific place and under specific conditions?
These are all possible.
"Miss Jingqiu?"
When Qiuqiu came back to her senses, Chunyu said with a smile: "You stand closer, the rain will fall on you."
The shed they built yesterday could also provide some protection from wind and rain, which they didn't expect at the time.
This is just unintentional intervention.
Qiuqiu's eyes aimlessly scanned the river surface, the river beach, the long grass, and there were a few waterbirds there, too wet to lift their heads.
besides……
Qiuqiu narrowed her eyes.
Something gray is moving slowly.
An ordinary person would probably not be able to see anything clearly in such heavy rain, but Qiuqiu is not an ordinary person after all.
It seems like...a rabbit?
Yes, it was a rabbit, and it was about the same size as the one she fed yesterday.
Could it be that one? Rabbits are very sensitive to the weather. It should have gone back to its nest after such a heavy rain, so why is it still in the rain? Moreover, it is not normal to move so slowly.
Are you injured?
Chunyu saw Qiuqiu walking out and asked hurriedly: "What are you doing?"
Qiuqiu pointed: "I'll go take a look and I'll be back soon."
It’s raining so hard, what’s there to see?
Chunyu took a step forward and wanted to call her back, but she was stopped and whispered: "If she wants to go, let her go."
Chunyu looked back at her with a disapproving expression, but in the end she didn't follow him.
Qiuqiu held an umbrella and walked forward, but the little hare was still moving forward with difficulty.
Five steps, three steps...two steps...
Qiuqiu bent down and hugged the little hare. (To be continued. If you like this work, you are welcome to vote for recommendations and monthly votes. Your support is my biggest motivation.)
ps: It was extremely difficult to write this chapter. I wanted to go to sleep halfway through writing and continue writing tomorrow. Because the nearby suburbs began to secretly burn straw again... The smoke was so thick that I couldn't even open my eyes. Oooh.
People who burned during the day would be arrested, and the fines would be hefty if caught, so those people secretly burned in the middle of the night.
