Chapter 291 – 291. Sink
"Return to your magic beast spirit form," said Fu Xie Lan.
Hearing the girl repeating her words, another beam of light appeared, Hao changed his form again.
Unknowingly, Fu Xie Lan breathed a sigh of relief, the girl turned back to face the lake.
'Miss, let me help you,' Hao's voice buzzed again filling Fu Xie Lan's head.
"No! Let me alone," replied the girl immediately.
"Don't you dare change shape again!" Fu Xie Lan warned. It wasn't that she didn't like it when Hao was in his human form, it was just that she felt a little strange, imagining that a man always snuggled on her shoulder made Fu Xie Lan shudder a little.
Even though Hao was just a magic beast spirit.
"keep in your position," added Fu Xie Lan again without even turning to look at the little fluffy creature behind her.
Hearing this, Hao curled up on the grass again without responding to the girl's words. The girl doesn't like it when he changes form.
Whereas on the other hand, Fu Xie Lan started to lower her feet into the lake with very careful movements.
It turned out that the water was colder than she had felt before. The water level by the lake was only knee-deep, the pants she was wearing were already wet, because Fu Xie Lan preferred to just let it go, without any intention of rolling it up again.
She had many clothes in her cosmic bag, so Fu Xie Lan didn't have to worry about getting her clothes wet later.
The girl's Violet eyes focused on the glowing grass in front of her, a smile forming on her lips without her noticing.
Trying to grab the grass one by one and pull it out, then throw it over the edge of the lake, pile it up there. Don't forget the girl took off the cosmic bag hanging from her waist and threw it carelessly over the edge, afraid that it would get wet.
Fu Xie Lan did the same thing for a few minutes, she didn't even notice that the grass she had gotten was too much, and the girl was still doing it non-stop.
'Miss, there's a lot of grass,' Hao spoke again, the creature could see that girl was not on the edge anymore but was already a little to the middle because the lake water had already passed the girl's knees and was up to her thighs.
Ever since Fu Xie Lan lowered her feet into the lake for the first time, Hao had been very worried.
Hearing Hao's voice in her mind, the girl turned her body and already found the grass piled up on the edge of the lake. And when she turned to face the front, she found that she was already at the last batch of grass and there were no more such plants within one step from her position.
Looks like the grass is already very much. Finally, Fu Xie Lan decided to stop taking the plant anymore.
Slowly she walked to the shore of the lake.
Suddenly…
BYUUURRRRR…
Fu Xie Lan slipped, causing her to fall backward and drown her entire body.
The girl's brow wrinkled in the water, wasn't the previous lake's water level only up to her thighs, how could it be this deep?
Luckily the girl was good at swimming, otherwise, she might have drowned.
The lake water was so clear with the reflection of the full moonlight, it made it less difficult for Fu Xie Lan to see what was around her.
It turned out that her current position was a bit far from the edge of the grass, Fu Xie Lan could see that the glowing plant seemed to form a line with a very different height from where she had fallen. Resembling a fault in a lake, and the girl fell on a lower fault.
To look at that plant, Fu Xie Lan had to look up a little.
Though at first she never thought that in the middle of the lake would have such a depth.
Looking down there, it's dark. And it indicates that the lake is very deep because the moonlight does not reach the bottom of the lake.
Not only that, Fu Xie Lan could feel the extremely dense mana content in the water as if the mana was circling her body.
Closed her eyes for a moment, trying to feel the flow of mana, and it was true. Mana Green swirled around her and somehow seemed to focus on her. If she wasn't in the lake right now, then maybe she would just stay quiet for a while to absorb all the mana as best she could, who knows with that, then she would get a little stronger.
But unfortunately, Fu Xie Lan could not stay long in the lake, because her physical body is a human body, she could die from hypothermia*.
Maybe she could just maintain her body temperature by using her mana. Only, wouldn't it be a waste to use up the mana in her body while absorbing the mana around her, right? There may be a difference, but only slightly. And Fu Xie Lan didn't want to waste time on just that. Because she thought it would be the same if she did it up there, in any place that contained mana.
Without a long wait, before running out of breath. Fu Xie Lan immediately swam up, using the glowing grass as a benchmark for her to pull over.
'Miss, what happened?' Hao's voice buzzed in her head.
'I slipped and fell, don't worry. I'll be pulling over soon,' the girl said through her mind, replying to Hao's question as quickly as possible.
Meanwhile, Hao who heard Fu Xie Lan's reply curled up again. The girl is fine.
Hao slowly closed his eyelids, and went back to lazing under the full moonlight.
While Fu Xie Lan, the girl was swimming, moving to the edge.
However, her movements suddenly stopped.
Suddenly a feeling of pain returned to her lower abdomen. The cramps were so intense, that the girl suddenly lost her balance in the water.
Even her view seemed to be spinning, dizziness was also whacking her. Not only that, the edge of the grass that had been so close to her just a moment ago, seemed to be moving away from her at glance, no, it wasn't the grass that was moving away from her, but rather, Fu Xie Lan fell into the bottom of the lake.
The moonlight is also slowly diminishing indicating that her position is already at a very deep depth.
Fu Xie Lan tried to bite her lips to be able to endure the sudden pain that wracked her body. The girl decided to swim back to the surface.
Can not!
She didn't know what happened to her body when she tried to move her legs and arms, it felt very heavy.
And no matter how hard she tried, she couldn't make any moves.
The pain she felt was getting worse, and she was sinking deeper.
Without anyone knowing.
