Beauty and the Bodyguard

Lin Yi glanced at her after hearing this, and immediately took out a wooden bowl from the space of the jade pendant, scooped out a full bowl of river water and handed it to her: "Strong man, drink up this bowl of river water of divine consciousness!"

"..." Duan Muyu rolled his eyes, took the wooden bowl and took a sip, smacking his lips and frowning: "Except for being a little bitter, this is just ordinary river water."

"It can be seen that the key is definitely not in the river water." Lin Yi concluded.

"Then what's the key?" Duanmuyu asked.

"In the river." Lin Yi said with great certainty. If the River of Divine Consciousness was just an ordinary river, he would definitely not think so. However, this river is not only extremely wide, but also shrouded in an inexplicable mist. No matter how you look at it, it is... It was unusual. If there was nothing strange about it, Lin Yi would find it strange.

"Then do you want to go down and have a look?" Duanmuyu asked. Although the river cannot be seen at a glance, the water nearby is still very clear. You can even see the bottom of the river at a glance. If you are just close to the shore, If you explore the surrounding areas, you can escape in time even if you encounter danger, and there shouldn't be any big problems.

"It's best not to do this unless you have to." Lin Yi shook his head decisively. Although he couldn't explain the reason, his intuition told him that this river was definitely not simple. If he went down into the river rashly, he might encounter something. What an incredible crisis.

"But besides going down to the river, what else can we do?" Duanmuyu said helplessly.

"Ignore the matter of the River of Divine Consciousness for now, let's look for the Divine Consciousness Grass first. Didn't you say it is near the River of Divine Consciousness?" Lin Yi suggested that the matter of the River of Divine Consciousness can be put aside for now and wait for a solution. It's not too late to figure it out before making plans. In comparison, the divine consciousness grass is more important. If the divine consciousness grass can be found, it doesn't matter whether the river of divine consciousness can temper the divine consciousness.

"Not nearby, but right in the river." Duanmuyu said.

"Just in the river?" Lin Yi was surprised when he heard this, and couldn't help but frowned: "Does the so-called effect of the river of consciousness in tempering the consciousness refer to the divine consciousness grass?"

"It's possible." Duanmuyu nodded. Except for the records of the River of Divine Consciousness in a handful of fragments of ancient books, no substantive conclusion has been handed down. The so-called tempering of divine consciousness is just an extremely vague idea. It's just mentioned in the language, maybe it refers to the Divine Knowledge Grass, but it's just not clearly mentioned in the ancient book fragments.

"So we really have to go down?" Lin Yi couldn't help but have a headache. His intuition was rarely wrong. Unless he had to, he really didn't want to go into the river.

"That's not necessarily the case. We can wait for the river to recede. Then we can go down to the river to find the Divine Knowledge Grass. We just need to get up in time before the tide rises." Duanmuyu said, this is a method passed down from her master. If not In this way, the divine consciousness grass growing in the river is not so easy to find.

"Okay." Lin Yi's eyes lit up. Such a vast and boundless river must have high and low tides. Even if it is still risky to wait until the tide ebbs, it is much less than going into the river rashly. This method is feasible.

After the two people agreed on the plan, they meditated and rested by the river, recharging their energy while waiting for the tide to recede.

After a while, the river fruit really slowly receded, and the river bottom near the bank was revealed bit by bit in front of the two of them. Lin Yi and Duan Muyu stood up at the same time, looked at each other and went down the river to look for the Divine Knowledge Grass.

However, even though it is low tide, the river water will not completely dry up. Only a small section of the river bed is exposed. Lin Yi and the two can only seize the time to search this section of the river bed. When the high tide arrives, they must quickly return to the shore and wait for the next low tide. .

What the two of them didn't expect was that the bottom of the River of Divine Consciousness was unexpectedly green, with all kinds of water plants everywhere. It was not easy to find the Divine Consciousness Grass that they had never seen before, even if Duanmu It's not easy for Jade to know some general characteristics.

"Take your time, there is no limit to the number of times. Search one section this time, and then search another section next time. If there is a Divine Knowledge Grass, I believe you will always gain something." Lin Yi said.

"Well, let's start looking from the deepest river bed, and then wait until the tide comes up before looking for the shore, so that we can have a little more time." Duanmuyu suggested.

"Okay." Lin Yi nodded.

The two immediately started searching from the river bed closest to the center of the river. This place was three or four miles away from the shore. Even so, Lin Yi's consciousness was unable to detect how wide the river was at this moment, let alone how wide it was. The limit on the other side of the river is so wide that people who don't know it might think it's just a sea.

"The mud is a bit deep." Lin Yi frowned when he was halfway there. At this time, the mud had already covered his thighs. From this point of view, by the time it reaches the farthest point, the mud would have at least covered his chest. For an ordinary person It is extremely difficult to even move a step, let alone find the Divine Knowledge Grass in this environment. Even when the tide rises, it is impossible to retreat, and even one's life has to be lost in the river.

But this is an ordinary person, and it is nothing to a master in the foundation building stage. At most, it is a little hindered in his movements. And Lin Yi is still a Yuan Shen body. Although there are many parts in the body, the weight is much lighter than the main body. , as long as you control it a little, you won't sink even if you stand on the mud.

Of course, Lin Yi actually has a simpler and more convenient way, which is to transform into a soul, but he always feels that this place gives him an inexplicable sense of crisis. If something happens to his soul state, he may not even have a chance to react. , he did not dare to do so rashly.

Duan Muyu, on the other hand, was also calm and unhurried, walking on the mud as if on flat ground. He looked more chic and neat than Lin Yi, and he was quiet. Seeing Lin Yi looking at him in surprise, he explained with a smile: "Ye Luo Silence is a specialized light-body martial art of our Ye Ling sect."

"Very good." Lin Yi praised sincerely. This was not a compliment. From his perspective, he could see the value of Ye Luoshen. It was overqualified to deal with the mud. This silent and light-body martial arts only had Only in actual combat can the greatest value be shown. As the senior sister of Ye Ling Sect, Duanmuyu is indeed not simple.

Duan Muyu smiled slightly, and then began to carefully search for the consciousness grass among the ubiquitous water grass piles. Lin Yi also did not neglect it. It was not advisable to stay here for a long time and he had to move quickly.

The efficiency of the two was not bad, but even so, they still achieved nothing. After the tide came in, they returned to the shore empty-handed and looked at each other.

"It seems that this matter is not that easy. We have to be prepared for a protracted war." Duan Muyu said with a wry smile.
