Ah Zhen soon came ashore wearing wet clothes. He walked towards the two of them, bent down and handed the wet Son of Light to Bao Mu. His long hair around his ears was still dripping with water.
"Then I'm leaving."
Baomu raised his head and asked, "Where are you going?"
"I plan to go in that direction," Ah Zhen pointed cheerfully into the distance, "I haven't been there yet."
"Aren't we going together?" Baomu held the Son of Light in his arms, stood up and asked.
Ah Zhen was startled, then grinned and said, "Maybe we will meet again if we are destined to meet again."
"Are you going to carry out the task assigned to you on the fifth watch?" Xiaolan looked up at Ah Zhen.
This time Ah Zhen was stunned.
"Don't be so surprised. Isn't it obvious?" Xiao Lan looked at A Zhen and Bao Mu, who looked shocked, "You were arranged to come in by your master Miaozhen."
Ah Zhen pursed her lips, not knowing how to answer.
"Not only you, Si Xia Ming Chong also sent someone in," Xiaolan said sincerely, "It's called Lu Qianqian, have you heard of it?"
"Lu Qianqian?" Ah Zhen frowned and shook his head.
"We met her in the Moon Village level. She said that she was also sent to investigate by the head of the Xiahua family," Xiaolan quickly explained, "She said that this game may be related to the incident in Wangcheng, and she was also missing.
The place where Shutian Yebai last appeared."
"You even know Ye Bai?!" Ah Zhen said in shock.
Although Baomu didn't know what Xiaolan was talking about, he knew it was time for him to come forward and explain. "We were all at the scene when the incident in Wangcheng happened."
"Oh... you just followed Jiutan Jasmine and Luo Jiutian into the royal city..."
The two nodded.
"No wonder Master knows you."
"We know everything," Xiaolan boasted seriously, "can you tell us now?"
"But, in fact, what you just said is all the clues we have," Ah Zhen leaned on the tree trunk next to him regretfully, "The Lu Qianqian you just mentioned..."
"She should have quit the game by now," Xiaolan said. "She said she was going to sneak into the backstage of the game production team to investigate."
"In this case..." A Zhen nodded to himself, "Then you should be careful, I'm leaving."
"Eh? Do you want to leave in this case?" Bao Mu and the Child of Light in his arms looked at A Zhen with exactly the same look.
"Now that you all know it, I won't hide it anymore," Ah Zhen stretched out his hand to brush his long hair from his temples. "Our purposes are indeed different. Because of this, I can't always walk with you."
"We can help you. Anyway, none of us... we will definitely not be able to get first place."
Xiaolan and Baomu looked at each other and nodded together.
"This is different," Ah Zhen insisted. "It's really different, but it's nice to meet you. Let's meet in real life."
After saying that, Ah Zhen waved to the two of them and turned into the night.
His thin figure quickly disappeared into the forest.
"Do you think we should follow him secretly?"
After a long while, Xiaolan asked absently.
Baomu glanced at Xiaolan, lowered his head and hid the sleepy Child of Light in his arms, "I don't feel good."
really.
This makes it easy for Ah Zhen to be wary not only of opponents and traps, but also of them.
Soon it was daybreak.
The two walked upstream along the river.
The children of light bathed in the sun were jumping around happily. Baomu had to carry the cheerful children of light back to them every few steps.
The two quickly walked out of the wetland.
It was replaced by a sky full of yellow sand.
The two of them sat at the junction of the wetland and the desert and ate some food. Xiaolan looked at the table still full of food and regretted that she had forgotten to ask Ah Zhen to get some food before leaving.
"I'll climb up the slope to check the situation, and then we can decide whether to go inside."
After Xiaolan finished speaking, she ran towards the tall sand dune at the end of their sight.
If this is really a big desert, then only a fool would go into it.
Xiaolan quickly climbed to the top of the sand dune and looked into the distance.
Just below the sand dunes is a large lush oasis.
There are several other bright oases as far as the eye can see. It seems that this is not a completely barren desert.
Xiaolan stood at a high place and waved to Baomu. Baomu and the Son of Light ran up after a while.
"A desert oasis..." Baomu picked up the Son of Light and started digging holes in the sand.
The sunshine here is so strong that the sunburnt children of light are a bit hot to touch.
"Let's go to the nearest one first."
"Um."
The nearest oasis is as big as a small forest, surrounded by a clear lake in the middle of the forest.
The Son of Light ran to the water, sniffed it, opened his mouth and licked the lake water.
"It thinks it's okay, so it should be okay." Xiaolan looked at Baomu.
The two hit it off immediately.
Xiaolan and Baomu both drank a handful of lake water, Xiaolan took a sip first, it was very sweet.
"Fortunately, it's not poisonous." Xiaolan finished drinking the water, sat on one knee by the lake and looked at the calm lake surface.
The sun is shining and the breeze is blowing.
The whole world is so peaceful.
This environment gives people the feeling that they can stay like this until they grow old.
Suddenly, a wave of ripples appeared on the calm lake.
"Hey -" Xiaolan immediately pointed to the center of the ripples, "Brother Baomu, have you seen it?"
"What?" Baomu raised his face from the lake.
"It seemed like a fish jumped out of the water just now," Xiaolan stood up, "It seemed like a fish."
"Are there any fish?" Baomu shook off the water from his hands and stood up.
The ripples spread out and nothing else appeared.
"I really saw it just now..."
"Ah, I found it, here."
Baomu lowered his head and stared at the clear water at their feet. In the shallow water, several small gray-black fish with beards floated by.
Xiaolan squatted down by the water and stared at the fish. The fish didn't seem to be afraid of people. They opened and closed their mouths as if they were chatting.
"There is such a fish here." Baomu scratched the back of his head.
Xiaolan turned to look at him, "What kind of fish is this?"
"This looks like a catfish," Baomu said, pointing to the three fish in the water. "The catfish has such a beard and mouth."
"catfish……"
Why do catfish appear in an oasis in the desert?
What do these catfishes represent?
Xiaolan calmed down her thoughts silently.
Catfish, this is the fourth time I have heard this word.
Lu Qianqian said that some fake players will be inserted into the game, and those fake players are called catfish.
Xiaolan's eyes returned to the three fish.
"Xiaolan?" Baomu looked at Xiaolan curiously, "What's wrong with you?"
Xiaolan made up her mind, "Brother Baomu, let's catch a fish and take a look."
