Behind her, the man hugged her and with a roll, dodged the water arrows. Feng Bailing looked up to see Dugu Wu’s face turning purple; his wet, finely broken hair stuck to her face.
Dugu Wu, who knew the Breath-holding Technique, could hold his breath for around half an hour, and he had reached his limit.
His walking stick fell aside, and Dugu Wu struggled to prop up his upper body. Seeing Feng Bailing in that instant, he felt a huge relief; he had feared he would find a cold corpse.
If she had died, who would cure his illness!
Behind them, several more water arrows were shot.
The two rolled to the side, and Dugu Wu’s complexion worsened.
He also saw that peculiar spring eye, along with a compelling force.
The Water Holy Seal, such a place actually nurtured such Spiritual Objects. No wonder Xiao Junci and the Grandmaster Mansion had their eyes on Qi Village.
The spirituality of the land is extraordinary, with mountains, rivers, trees, and flowers all like humans, capable of gathering Spiritual Energy.
This spring eye had clearly gathered a massive amount of Spiritual Energy to form the Water Holy Seal.
After gaining the Holy Seal, it acquired consciousness and began counterattacking upon sensing intruders.
The water arrows attacked relentlessly. Dugu Wu held Feng Bailing close, dodging left and right. His face was turning from purple to black.
They needed to get out of here.
Feng Bailing was held in Dugu Wu’s arms, her seventh sense more active than ever.
Oh ho, Dugu Wu that guy, without any oxygen tanks, made it all the way here?
Is he a whale in disguise?
If Dugu Wu knew what Feng Bailing was thinking right now, he would probably cough up blood in frustration.
Because of holding his breath for too long, Dugu Wu felt his chest was about to explode.
A hand reached out; before Dugu Wu could react, soft lips with the fragrance of plum blossoms brushed against him. In such a moment, this woman was still taking advantage of him.
A rush of fresh air entered his mouth.
Like a drought meeting sweet rain, Dugu Wu’s body rapidly revived, with Gang Qi erupting from within him, dispersing the approaching water arrows.
As Dugu Wu regained his composure, he noticed the woman in his arms had sneakily slipped away, crawling towards the location of the spring eye.
The closer she got to the spring eye, the more water vapor gathered into water arrows, attacking Feng Bailing. Oddly enough, the dense arrows brushed past her multiple times.
Feng Bailing’s seventh sense, after being enhanced by Du Gu’s Great Replenishing Pill, was stronger than ever.
She maneuvered her seventh sense to dodge the water arrows while surrounding that "water mark."
Sensing danger, the Water Holy Seal tried to escape.
But just as it attempted to flee, Feng Bailing was one step ahead and captured it into the Medical Cabin.
The Water Holy Seal disappeared?
Dugu Wu thought his eyes were deceiving him; the presence had vanished without a trace.
With the Water Holy Seal no longer controlling it, the water that had been accumulating underground for years burst forth, flooding the entire cavern in the blink of an eye.
As Dugu Wu grabbed Feng Bailing, a wave surged over them, and the water swallowed them up.
This half hour felt excruciatingly long for everyone at the well’s edge.
Dugu Xiaojin stared at the two ropes, tugging gently at intervals, but as time went on, even the rope attached to Dugu Wu lost response.
Nalan Yan’er looked pale, muttering to herself.
"Ah Wu will be okay; he has great fortune and won’t die."
Until the day fully broke, there was no sign of Dugu Wu or Feng Bailing.
"People, I am the Crown Princess Consort, I order you to dig..."
Nalan Yan’er couldn’t wait any longer, but just as she finished speaking, she suddenly heard a strange noise.
She got goosebumps and looked up, only to see "clouds" flying towards Qi Village in the sky.
Nalan Yan’er’s expression drastically changed, knowing the terror of these locusts, with no guards to protect,
"The day has lightened, and the locust swarm is here again, quick, everyone get inside the houses, lock the doors and windows, seal the cracks, and don’t come out."
The village chief urged everyone to hurry back inside. The villagers scattered.
Dugu Xiaojin stubbornly stayed by the well.
Nalan Yan’er returned to the room where Dongfang Jin had been staying, only to find it empty. Dongfang Jin was missing; panicked, she ran out looking for Dongfang Jin.
"Jinjin! Jinjin is gone!"
Hearing this, Dugu Xiaojin ran back to the mud-brick house like a whirlwind, and found that Feng Xiaoli, who had remained in the little mud house, was also missing.
