Blue Star

Xijia changed her usual calmness, and even insisted on finishing [-] push-ups even in the case of being extremely tired.I didn't eat a few mouthfuls of food to satisfy my hunger, and I was obviously very hungry but had no appetite at all.

She looked at the crossbow that Mimir gave her on her right wrist, and after everyone was asleep, she quietly crawled down from the cave.

"Where are you going?" Mimir, who was up late at night, came down from the cave, and Xijia quickly covered his mouth before he could ask a few more questions.

"Don't be so loud, it will wake up the others." Looking at Mimir who nodded fiercely, she let go of her hand covering her mouth, "Hurry up, I just want to... go out, you are all men, I Sorry to be in the hole..."

Mimir scratched her head in embarrassment, blushed and said, "I'm sorry, I didn't think about it. But you can't go outside alone, it's too dangerous."

"No, those monsters didn't come back after they ran out." Xijia whispered, and even moved two half-person-high bushes to prove it.

Mimir, who has seen life and death danger several times, is worried, "That's not okay, you only see those who run out, in case there are some left behind. I will go with you... I can turn around and cover my ears .”

"How about that, I'm not used to people." Xi Jia pushed, "I'll be back soon, nothing will happen."

Seeing that Xi Jia insisted on leaving, Mi Mi Mir followed closely, "I don't believe it, you must be going to pick herbs from the Goddess Pillar. If you don't agree, I will follow, and I will wake up Elder Gu Li now."

"Don't, don't." Xijia begged for forgiveness, and after a while of silence, sighed: "I see that the Goddess Pillar has been very quiet, and the monster has gone out and never came back, so I thought..."

"I knew it!" Mimir snapped the crossbow gun mechanism on his wrist, "If the Goddess Pillar is absolutely safe, Elder Gu Li won't stop it temporarily. Ke Erqi's wizard sense is very keen, and there must be There is a danger of not approaching."

Xijia lowered her head, with an expression on the verge of tears, "I don't want anyone to die because they saved me...and the herbs that can save people are so close to us..."

Mimir couldn't hold back the girl's tears, so he quickly raised his hands in compromise and said, "Don't cry, I won't wake them up. But you can't go alone, I will accompany you."

Xijia looked up at him, "What's the use of you accompanying me, and the marksmanship is not accurate."

"Who said that! I've practiced really well now." The words were closed, and the trigger was about to show both hands.Before he had time to express himself, he was startled by the sudden movement of the bush, and when he stepped back, he stepped on a piece of soft mud and fell to the ground in embarrassment.

The two looked nervously at the bush, and Xijia slowly approached after being quiet, only to find that it was just a ripe and fallen fruit.Then he picked up the fruit and showed it to Mi Mi Mier, and couldn't help laughing: "A single fruit scares you like this?"

Seeing that Xijia smiled, Mi Mir also followed suit.

Xijia stretched out his hand and picked up Mimir who fell to the ground, "I'll go ahead, and you follow me. After entering the pillar, pick the herbs and leave, nothing will happen."

Mimir followed closely, looking at the pitch-black jungle where mist gathered from time to time, and asked calmly, "Is there really a life-saving herb in that pillar? Can it cure the infection?"

Xijia shook her head, "I'm not sure about the real effect, but I can feel the existence of that plant. It smells very fragrant and comfortable, as if it can relieve the..." The words in the body suddenly stopped, and then said: "Anyway, it is Iris can be cured, I don’t know about the others.”

Mimir looked around carefully, occasionally casting his eyes on Xijia.

Xijia's arm was bound with shredded animal skins, and there were scabs from scalding on the wound that wasn't fully covered.The dyed skirt made of animal skin was torn, and the mud from the road was stained on the bare calf.

Walking in front of him was a girl, and a very beautiful girl.He blushed suddenly and turned his face away to look away, and kept silently chanting the words his father had taught him.

With a dry cough, he changed the topic and said, "Why is the road here so soft? Isn't there a swamp near the Goddess Pillar?"

Xijia took the lighting crystal mine that Gu Li gave her, pointed it at the ground for a while, and said, "It's not a swamp, it's just damp."

Mimir followed the light and looked at the bushes on the right. A large amount of white mist came up from under the bushes, and besides the humidity, it also carried a certain amount of heat.He knelt down and pushed aside the bushes, and suddenly excitedly said: "It's a hot spring! It's still very clean. There really is a source of water here!"

After leaving the cave, I walked nearly [-] meters. Even if I speak loudly at this moment, I don't have to worry about waking up others.Mi Mier subconsciously touched his lower back, remembering that he came out temporarily without a water bottle, he couldn't help feeling annoyed: "I would have carried the supplies bag back if I knew it earlier."

A few insects can occasionally be seen on the edge of the hot spring, but most are small in size and have no signs of infection.He trampled to death a few of them, got through the bushes and lay down on the edge of the hot spring to drink a few swigs.

It's not just Iris who lacks water, but everyone else in the team too.In order to keep the drinking water for the next journey, every time I drink water, I have to wait until I am extremely thirsty before taking a sip.

He plunged his head into the water and stood up after feeling the source of life.

"The temperature of the water is just right, you can drink it directly." Wiping his face and smiling at Xijia, "Hurry up and drink some, this water is really clean."

"You drink, I'm not thirsty." Xijia, who also didn't drink much water along the way, seemed to be afraid of the water source, and stepped back a few steps: "If it's safe to pick the herbs, we'll bring the water bottle back."

"Oh..." Mimir wiped the water stains on her mouth with her sleeve.

The two walked one after the other in the bushes. The closer they got to the Goddess Pillar, the more hot springs there were. There were at least dozens of hot springs of different sizes and shades.The thick and thin fog in the canyon is probably caused by these hot springs.

It was Xijia who was looking for the road, and Mimir, who was following behind, couldn't see the road clearly for many times. After tripping over a stone a few times, he simply walked close to Xijia's back.

But he had never acted so close to a member of the opposite sex.Embarrassment, shyness, and twisted emotions rushed over, making him so embarrassed that his walking posture became stiff, and his eyes were always looking at Xijia uncontrollably.

The braided whip slid off his shoulders as he bowed his head, and the thick, loose hair was curled at the nape of his neck.He looked at it for a while, and couldn't hold back and asked, "Xijia, why do you have a small tumor on the back of your neck? It's bright red, and it's quite big."

Xijia stood up straight with an ugly face, and hurriedly raised her hand to cover her neck, "That's a mole, not a small tumor."

"Oh……"

Mimir withdrew his gaze, pushed aside the bushes in front of the two of them and looked at the dark hole under the Goddess Pillar, flinching slightly: "Do you really want to go in? Why don't we call Elder Gu Li? If there are really no monsters It’s still very safe, and it’s definitely more useful for Elder Gu Li to come than us.”

Xijia took a deep breath, squeezed the crystal ore in his hand to shine light into the cave for inspection, and stepped in first after finding no monster.

"The monsters who went out don't know when they will come back. If they go back to call people now, it will take a lot of time to go back and forth."

Mimir squeezed the crossbow gun tightly, swallowing in fear.All the girls went in, and he could only bite the bullet and keep up.

The interior of the Goddess Pillar is hollow, so there is a lot of space for going down or up except for the platform after entering.The walls of the pillars glisten under the light of the crystal ore, which looks rough but is smooth to the touch.

In the dark, the sound of water droplets dripping can be heard from time to time, which is very soft but can echo around the beams in the cave.

Westbest shone the light down.

About two meters away from the platform, the bottom of the cylinder is a steaming clear water pool, which is estimated to be ten meters deep to the naked eye.The surroundings of the pool are not surrounded by columns, but many sharp cones shaped like icicles, from top to bottom until they touch the water surface.If you can breathe underwater, you may see another vast scene after diving down.

There are no ripples in the pool, and it is easy to have an illusion that there is no water when it is calm.The water level of the pool can only be clearly felt when the water drops on the top of the cave ripple.

The moving light stopped on a few plants with small, bright red leaves, which looked strange, and the rhizomes were bent like snakes.

Unlike other growing plants, the surrounding of this plant is very clean, like a wizard driving a defensive magnetic field, with a regular circle of range.

"That's it, we have to go down and pick it." Xijia said excitedly.

Most of the green plants that can be picked grow on the stone walls near the water surface. If you want to pick them, you have to jump into the pool and swim.

Mimir's legs became weak uncontrollably because he was too afraid, the seemingly clear but not bright pool, the wide and dark cave with echoes.This extremely quiet but seemingly dangerous place is more tormenting than seeing monsters directly.

"Down, down, down? But I...can't swim..."

Xijia had no choice but to hand over the crystal mine in her hand to Mimir, "You help me light it up, and I'll go down and pick it."

Without waiting for Mimir's reaction, under the light of Xijia, after a few seconds of hesitation, he took a deep breath and jumped into the water.Her water skills are very good, and she swam up flexibly after a while, but she seemed to have touched something, and she tightened the sharp cone hanging from the edge of the pool with a painful expression.

Xijia was panting heavily, tremblingly leaning on the rock wall to get close to the plant.

The voice of Mimir standing above trembled, "Xi, Xijia, why are you smoking all over..."

Xijia looked down at her body and said, "The water temperature is very high, so of course it will be steaming."

Mimir doesn't really believe this reason, Xijia's current situation is like putting a hot iron ball into cold water, which is abnormal no matter how you look at it.

Xijia didn't have time to explain to Mimir, and after approaching the plants, she quickly picked a few and stuffed them into her clothes.But when she turned around and was about to swim back, she suddenly changed her face and said in horror: "Mimier, get out of here!"
