Fang Xuan and Ning Lanqing were still loitering in front of Yu Binglu underwater. When they talked about Fang Xuan's blind spot in knowledge, the latter seemed to have opened a chatterbox.
"Senior Sister Yu Binglu usually keeps an extremely low profile in the academy. This is especially so after being a first year herself, she suppressed a group of Inner Academy disciples to enter the Inner Academy. She was even allowed to skip a grade to the second year. Ever since then, there have been very few rumors about Yu Binglu in the academy. Therefore, it's normal for you, as a new student, not to know."
"Then how did you find out?"
Ning Lanqing puffed out her chest proudly. "I'm from General Manor, so I naturally have some channels~ Keep it a secret."
Fang Xuan was a little speechless. This young lady really brightened up with just a little sunlight.
He then looked at Yu Binglu, who was underwater.
At this moment, his detection ability was activated to the maximum. He could only sense a few weak vital signs on the former's body. No matter how he looked at it, it did not seem to be in a good state.
"So what's she doing now, taking a shower?"
Ning Lan glanced at Fang Xuan innocently and then fell into deep thought.
"If I'm not wrong… he should be sleeping."
"Sleep, sleep?"
Ning Lanqing nodded.
"I heard that because you suppressed the cold meridians in your body all year round, you cultivated an extremely violent cultivation technique. When the two cultivation techniques are combined, your leveling speed is very fast. However, when they collide, it will often cause an energy disorder. In the end, you might even fall asleep anywhere."
Fang Xuan felt a little helpless.
Damn it, this kind of fellow who slept wherever she went could enter the inner sect in the first grade. It seemed that entering the inner sect was not a dream.
"I'll go take a look at the situation. Stay up there and keep watch for me." After saying this, Fang Xuan dove into the sea and reached all the way to the bottom.
After seeing it clearly, his speechlessness went up another level.
It turned out that this person's feet had been entangled by the seaweed. At this moment, Yu Binglu's eyes were closed. Those who didn't know better would really think that she was dead.
Fortunately, she was born with the water attribute and was compatible with the bottom of the sea. Moreover, water-type Beast Tamers all had the effect of breathing underwater.
However, for some reason, Fang Xuan felt that the temperature at the bottom of the sea was much lower than in the other seas. There was an aura similar to that of an ant that was constantly emitting from the depths.
Fang Xuan held his breath and untied Yu Binglu from the water grass by his feet, bringing her up.
It had to be said that Yu Binglu kept a low profile. Her appearance was really not low profile.
She and Ning Lanqing looked like two different types. If the latter was a somewhat arrogant long-legged young lady, then Yu Binglu was a petite and cute loli type.
Just that pair of tiny jade-like feet was enough to make countless men's blood boil. Each of his small feet was well-defined and had a bronze anklet with pearl bells on it. Just by looking at her closed eyelids, one could tell how proud her eyes were. Her long hair was tied into two buns, and her lightweight made Fang Xuan feel as if she was carrying nothing on his back.
Fortunately, Fang Xuan had weathered many storms. At this moment, he could only chant a few times.
Moreover, he was here for business. When he touched the bottom of the sea, he felt an aura that could almost resonate with ants and insects. After he sent him up, he had to quickly come down and take a look.
Fang Xuan sent Yu Binglu ashore. When Ning Lanqing saw the latter, she was obviously a little curious. She clearly suspected that such a cute appearance was not as powerful as what was rumored outside.
Fang Xuan didn't have time to say anything else. He casually used the flame energy to dry Yu Binglu, then opened the bottle of blue potion and drank it in one gulp.
"I can feel it. This primitive insect power can't be wrong. If I don't come up in an hour, I'll go back to the academy to get reinforcements."
Ning Lanqing frowned slightly, "This medicine will attract divine bugs. Why are you in such a hurry to drink it?"
"I forgot." With that, Fang Xuan dove back into the water…
This time, Fang Xuan did not sink to the bottom of the sea again. Instead, he carefully observed every move below from the top of the sea.
He didn't know if the reason why Yu Binglu fell asleep had anything to do with the divine bug he was looking for, but he was afraid that it had something to do with it.
However, after ten minutes, the bottom of the sea was like a pool of stagnant water. Other than the occasional colorful fish, there were no other changes.
Fang Xuan finally couldn't sit still anymore. F*ck, could this be a fake bottle of medicine? But I can still breathe underwater. What's going on… He finally stopped watching and slowly probed downwards. At the same time, he hid his left hand behind his back and prepared to attack, afraid that some huge magical beast would appear and crush him.
Time seemed to have been extended infinitely. Fang Xuan had only used a few breaths of time to dive from the surface of the sea to the bottom of the sea, but now, it was as if he had completed the journey of his life.
However, he only stopped when his feet were almost entangled by the aquatic plants again.
At the same time, the prehistoric aura echoed with him again. This time, it was even more obvious than before, as if it came from under his feet.
He carefully released the ants and let them drill down from the beach at the bottom of the sea.
The ant was not as cautious as Fang Xuan when it went down. Instead, it charged down recklessly. Fang Xuan let it go. After all, in this low-level area, existences that could hurt it had yet to be born.
After drilling down for about a hundred meters, the ant stopped.
From its feedback, Fang Xuan knew that there was a thick layer of ice below, but it was just nourishment for the ants.
As they went deeper, they finally arrived at the source of the savage aura.
However, based on the ant's aura, it seemed it was not a threat to Fang Xuan at all?
This time, he couldn't hold it in anymore. He activated the Burrow skill and arrived on the ice.
At this moment, a huge hole had already been opened in the ice by the ants. Not to mention that the ice was originally transparent, even if one looked down, they would be able to see a fleshy black shadow in the center.
This was probably Fang Xuan's "opponent" for this trip.
He had thought that there would be a fierce battle… Why was it such an adorable little thing?
Rather than calling it a bug, it was more like an egg.
At this moment, it was wrapped in a white cocoon like a bean worm. He could not see what it looked like. He could only see that it was a larva about the length of a hand. From the outside, he could vaguely see circles of dark blue patterns. There were a total of nine.
Combined with the appearance and environment, this should be the larva of a Snownet Divine Worm.
This kind of larva was an ancient bloodline, one of the kings of the water attribute. It could create a blizzard in the water attribute domain and achieve the effect of both offense and defense.
However, this insect… No, it should be called an insect egg. This insect egg had yet to hatch, and its combat ability was equivalent to zero. Fortunately, it could be slowly raised in his hands.
He wondered if that loli senior sister was also here for this thing.
No matter what, he would accept it on his behalf.
With that, Fang Xuan reached out to touch the fat egg.
