Chapter 178 Bathing
But in the next moment, the person disappeared.
It disappeared from sight just like that, but the cold-blood vines were unable to stop and all of them bit towards the black shadow.
Lin Xuxi was casting the clone spell with her left hand. After making a feint to draw attention to that person, she flew away in another direction.
Although he couldn't escape the pursuit of the cold blood vine, at least he could cause some trouble to that person, who he didn't know.
It's her fault for always following this guy around. If she doesn't teach him a lesson and get rid of him, he might end up hurting her.
Although he was holding the invisibility spell, the cold-blood vine had no vision and relied on the fluctuation of spiritual power to determine people's location. Therefore, Lin Xuxi's little cleverness allowed him to escape, but he definitely could not escape.
The black shadow was unable to split himself at this time. The attacks from the two waves of cold blood vines were all directed at him. He had no chance to pull off the foot binding silk, and let Lin Xuxi escape.
The invisibility spell was lifted, and she dodged the cold-blood vines while jumping onto the tree trunk. She could no longer walk on the ground. Looking down, she saw sharp teeth waiting to eat her flesh. She could only use branches to hide and soon arrived at the water's edge.
However, what surprised Lin Xuxi was that there was no cold-blood vine by the water.
They were stacked in layers three feet away from the water's edge, but they dared not step into the water.
Lin Xuxi leaped and tried to jump into the water, but the cold-blood vines behind him twisted into a bloody mouth with sharp teeth and a bloody liquid dripping out, emitting a foul odor.
Seeing that he was about to catch up, Lin Xuxi swung out the Bingxu Sword from her wide sleeves. The Bingxu Sword left her sleeves and instantly grew larger, blocking the bloody mouth to buy time.
Lin Xuxi dived into the water, splashing a lot of water.
After completing its mission, Bingxu Sword also plunged into the water, returned to its sleeve and continued to lie quietly.
Lin Xuxi, hiding in the water, looked up and saw that the cold-blooded vine was barely perched on the surface. And for some reason, it didn't dare to come down, apparently afraid of water.
Lin Xuxi wasn't afraid of water. Back when she was in the Nascent Soul stage, she could wait five years in a pond for the White Spirit Grass. After the Spiritualization stage, she could stay in the water for even longer. She was drowning, her limbs sliding to avoid surfacing while she observed the Cold Blood Vine.
The cold-blood vine seemed annoyed. It wandered back and forth on the water surface, unwilling to leave easily but unable to go into the water.
After confirming again and again that the cold-blooded vines could not enter the water, Lin Xuxi swam underwater and slowly moved upstream. She guessed that this was the Milky Way that Xue Er took her to see yesterday.
If you swim slowly up the river, you'll reach the top of the mountain and perhaps find Longquan Villa. This is one of the two hills marked on the map.
However, the cold blood vine had no intention of leaving easily. It could sense that Lin Xuxi was slowly moving upstream. The bloody mouth was also following it up the surface of the water.
As soon as the other party shows his head, it can bite off the monk's neck in one bite.
This monk was truly despicable. Not only did he have something capable of cutting it, but he also teased it repeatedly. It would definitely teach him a lesson, letting him know not to tease the Cold Blood Vine again in his next life.
It is such a vicious and vengeful demon vine.
But this time it made a mistake, and Lin Xuxi didn't have to come out of the water at all.
Perhaps the magic vine couldn't go any further, or perhaps for some other reason, the cold-blood vine actually retreated and didn't follow.
Lin Xuxi initially thought it was being cunning and deliberately trying to lure her out of the water, but when she tentatively poked a finger out of the water, it didn't attack.
Only then did she slowly poke her head out to look. The cold-blood vine had long since left, and she was now in a pool of water up to her waist.
The water must have flowed along the way, forming a shallow pool where the terrain was flat. She stood up from the water, soaking wet and dripping with water.
Lin Xuxi looked at her clothes, not only soaked with dampness but also stained with the blood of the cold-blooded vine. She sniffed her arm, and could still smell the stench of decay.
I cast two cleansing spells in a row, but it didn't help. I couldn't help but feel the smell. Especially on my hair. The thought of blood splattered on my hair made me even more disgusted.
"How about a bath?"
Lin Xuxi looked at the clear water, seemingly floating in the air, and thought about the smell on her body. She walked slowly to the shore, and then to a corner to look around for anyone else.
She took off her outer garment first and let it float down with the current. She didn't plan to wear it anyway, so she moved a stone into the water, sat on it, untied her hair, and washed her long hair with soap nuts.
Three thousand strands of hair fell down, and each strand was carefully washed. It was really smooth as if it had just been washed with orchid ointment, and Baochai's black hair fell sideways.
After washing it, she smelled the ends of her hair and it smelled of soapberry.
She still hadn't changed her habits from the human world; she loved the scent of soapberries on her clothes and hair. Her inner garments were soaking wet, clinging to her body.
The fair and delicate skin is faintly visible.
Leaning his back against the stone, he carefully washed his hair, which had been stained by the cold-blood vine. Then, he tossed his long hair back and began to bathe again.
But she didn't dare to act recklessly outside, so she quickly washed and changed her clothes. Seeing that no one was around, she breathed a sigh of relief, stood up, and casually used her spiritual power to dry her long hair. She then took out a jade hairpin and casually tied it up, making sure it didn't get in the way.
Lin Xuxi had wanted to go ashore, but was afraid of encountering cold-blood vines along the way. Here, the banks were covered in lush grass, and the dense weeds covered the ground, so who knew what was hidden beneath.
After much deliberation, Lin Xuxi decided to wade upstream. The water would definitely be safe. If the cold-blood vine attacked, she could immediately hide in the water.
Thinking of this, she didn't want to stay any longer and waded up the water. But she didn't know what that person was like. She had tricked her and didn't know if she could escape.
That person was actually luckier than Lin Xuxi. He was taken directly to Longquan Villa without having to bother to find its actual location.
After walking for a whole day, Lin Xuxi finally reached the top of the mountain in the evening.
After reaching the top of the mountain, she looked up at the waterfall illuminated by the setting sun. The waterfall was a magical water from heaven, its source hidden in the clouds and mist, pouring down with a roar.
The splashing water reflected a large rainbow under the guidance of the setting sun. Such a beautiful scenery was incompatible with the resentment and miasma of the entire Dongyuan Mountain.
Lin Xuxi decided to spend the night on the shore and wait until dawn to see if there was any sign of Longquan Villa. However, this stream of flowing water was indeed blessed by nature; she felt that her spiritual energy was abundant here.
It’s a good time to meditate and rest here.
The faded red color was very conspicuous in the night, and Lin Xuxi even found a place by the water to sit down.
"Cuckoo-"
The ferret's sound was so small that it could be easily drowned out by the current, but Lin Xuxi still noticed it. She opened her eyes and turned to look to the right.
The ferret was digging at her feet, and no one knew what it was digging for.
"You're back?" Lin Xuxi was a little surprised. She had thought the ferret would never come back after leaving. She had thought it was the guide for the previous section of the road, but she had never expected it to appear here again.
