The vicious female supporting role in the book cultivation world is crazy and involuntarily

Bai Yuanshi's gaze shifted from his hand to her face, then back to his hand again. Lu Zhaozhao saw his surprise and curiosity, but she simply withdrew her hand silently.

The blood that had just dripped into the water had not yet dissipated. At this moment, there was no sound from the bottom of the boat. Not far from the boat, monsters emerged from the water and crowded around, looking extremely terrifying.

"These creatures are bloodthirsty. When that injured practitioner was dragged aboard, his blood likely flowed through the cracks in the boat into the water, attracting these creatures. They're currently attracted to my blood, but it will soon spread through the water, and the blood-stained boat will continue to be their target."

Lu Zhaozhao analyzed calmly that except for the injured and unconscious person and Master Bai Yuan, the other three people all looked worried.

"Can we let out some blood occasionally to attract their attention?"

Someone proposed an idea. Lu Zhaozhao thought about it, shook his head, and said, "We don't know how long this road will take. Bleeding is not a long-term solution."

"If only there were some way to catch them all."

Another person sighed and said, but he probably knew that this idea was a bit far-fetched, so he just muttered it quietly.

After hearing this, Master Bai Yuan seemed to be thinking about something and cast a spell on the monster on the boat that was imprisoned but still had breath.

It was immediately surrounded by fire. After the raging fire, the outer shell was only slightly charred, but the inside was not damaged.

"It seems they are not afraid of fire."

Lu Zhaozhao raised his eyebrows and made a thunder gesture.

After a flash of silver-white light, the monster's shell was only cracked, but it was still alive.

“It helps a little, but not much.”

Lu Zhaozhao scratched his head, feeling somewhat distressed. He picked up the candle and moved closer, wanting to take a closer look at the details.

The moment he squatted down, the monster immediately struggled. Lu Zhaozhao thought that the smell of blood on his body had not yet dissipated, which made the thing excited.

The blood in the water was diluted and mixed with the water, and the monsters gradually returned to the side of the boat, eager to fight.

"Oh no, these things are back again."

The people observing by the boat were shouting, and Lu Zhaozhao couldn't help but feel a little anxious.

The candle in her hand had been burning for too long, reaching its limit, and suddenly went out in an instant, and the whole place, centered around her, fell into darkness.

"Excuse me, lend me a fire."

Lu Zhaozhao said to Master Bai Yuan beside him, and he turned around to get the candle.

While waiting for the fire to be lit, I was bored and observed the monster on the ship with the faint light.

The candle went out and it became quiet.

Wait? Suddenly quiet?

Lu Zhaozhao seemed to have thought of something.

According to the principle of controlling variables, candlelight is the only variable.

So, is there a possibility that the monster was struggling not because of excitement, but because of fear?

At this moment, Master Bai Yuan walked away with a new candle. The new candle was even brighter and more dazzling.

From far to near, the light changes from dark to bright, and the monster's state changes from quiet to excited.

The cave is dark and without light, so outsiders must turn on a lamp when entering. If they are not attacking because they are guided by the lamp, then they are encircling and eliminating possible crises!

Lu Zhaozhao looked up at Master Bai Yuan excitedly as if he had discovered a treasure.

In the orange candlelight, her eyes were like thousands of broken stars. Her sudden look made Master Bai Yuan stunned for a moment.

"I see."

Lu Zhaozhao said softly.

"what?"

Master Bai Yuan asked.

She looked at Master Bai Yuan, slowly stood up, a slight smile on her lips, and said, "I know what these monsters are afraid of. They are afraid of light!"

"How do you think so?" Master Bai Yuan continued to ask.

Lu Zhaozhao didn't answer. She pulled his wrist and slowly moved the candle closer to the monster, watching it slowly change and then move away.

After completing the whole process, she turned to look at Master Bai Yuan and asked, "Do you understand?"

"understood."

As Master Bai Yuan spoke, he handed the candle to her and took his hand back.

Only then did Lu Zhaozhao realize that she had actually attacked him in a moment of excitement, and she apologized somewhat embarrassedly.

Master Bai Yuan blinked rapidly, coughed, and said, "Now that we've discovered the weakness, how should we apply it?"

Lu Zhaozhao lowered his eyes in deep thought.

"Maybe... I can help."

A faint voice came from the corner. Lu Zhaozhao looked in the direction of the voice and saw that it was the disciple who prayed at the beginning.

He flinched at the sight of two gazes, then continued, "I'm Ji Li from the Kongshan Sect. Among the talismans I practice is one called the Burning Sun Talisman. It's not very powerful, but it can make the surrounding area as bright as day for a short period of time."

Kongshan Sect? Lu Zhaozhao was no stranger to this term. In the team that had explored Mushan Temple together, there was a fellow Taoist named Cen Jianwen, who was also from the Kongshan Sect.

However, this was Lu Zhaozhao's experience, not the experience of Fusang, a disciple of Tianyin Sect who was going out for the first time, so she did not mention it.

Master Bai Yuan caught the vagueness in the words and pressed on, "How long can it last? And how many times can you perform this mantra?"

"Probably... can it last half an incense stick? If it is continuously used, it can only last for half an hour at most."

Ji Li replied quietly. Lu Zhaozhao did a quick calculation, raised his eyebrows, and chuckled, "In that case, I'll have to trouble you, Fellow Daoist Ji."

"It's a small matter, a small matter." Ji Li's face was so red that it seemed like blood was dripping out, and he spoke stutteringly.

He walked to the edge of the boat. At this moment, the monsters in the water had circled the boat, looking eager to attack at any moment.

Ji Li took out a blank piece of talisman paper, wrote and drew something on it with a red brush, then placed it in front of his forehead, closed his eyes, chanted a mantra, opened his eyes again, and threw the talisman into the water.

A ray of light spread across the lake, and the dark cave suddenly became as bright as day.

The sudden bright light forced everyone on the boat to close their eyes temporarily, and it took a long time for them to accept the brightness.

Slowly opening his eyes, Lu Zhaozhao checked around the ship. The overly strong light did indeed temporarily drive the monsters around away, although they might still be hiding somewhere waiting for an opportunity to strike.

"I can finally breathe a sigh of relief now."

One person collapsed and breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Zhaozhao looked around and chuckled, "I haven't had time to introduce myself yet. I'm Fusang from the Tianyin Sect. May I know your names, fellow Taoists?"

"I am Xun Hua from the Muli Sect." The man lying on the ground bowed from a distance and said loudly, "The three of us are from the same school. They are my junior brothers, Xun Yin and Xun Ye."

The other two nodded as a greeting.

Master Bai Yuan was about to speak, but was interrupted by Xun Hua: "I know you, the famous Master Bai Yuan. I'll be relying on you to take care of me from now on."

Master Bai Yuan frowned slightly, but said nothing.

"There seems to be something up ahead, come and see."

Ji Li stood at the bow and shouted, arousing everyone's curiosity.
