BXBX NOVEL Chapter 5294 The Key Is In The River
"From this, it can be seen that the key is definitely not in the river." Lin Yi concluded.
"Then what's the key?" Duanmu Yu asked.
"In the river." Lin Yi was very sure. If this was just a normal River, he wouldn't think that way, but this River was extremely wide and covered in a layer of fog. No matter how he looked at it, it was unusual. Lin Yi would find it strange if there was nothing strange about it.
"Do you want to go down and take a look?" Duanmu Yu asked. Although he couldn't see the end of the river, the water nearby was still very clear. He could even see the bottom of the river with a single glance. If he just fumbled around the area near the shore, he would be able to escape in time even if he encountered danger. There shouldn't be any big problems.
"It's best not to do this unless it's the last resort. " Lin Yi shook his head decisively. He couldn't give an exact reason, but his instinct told him that this River wasn't as simple as it seemed. If he went in recklessly, he might run into some kind of danger.
"But what else can we do other than go down the river?" Duanmu Yu helplessly said.
"Let's not worry about the spirit Sense River for now, let's look for spirit sense grass first, didn't you say it was near the spirit Sense River?" Lin Yi suggested. He could put the river of consciousness aside for now and think of a way to figure it out. The spirit grass was more important-if he could find it, it didn't matter if he could refine his spirit sense in the river.
"Not nearby, but in the river." Duanmu Yu said.
"In the river?" Lin Yi frowned,"Could it be that the so-called spirit Sense river's spirit sense tempering effect is referring to the spirit sense grass?"
"It's possible. " Duanmu Yu nodded his head. Aside from a few ancient records, there was no concrete conclusion that had been passed down. The so-called tempering of the spiritual awareness was just an extremely vague description. Perhaps it was referring to the spiritual awareness grass. It was just that the ancient records did not clearly point it out.
"So we really have to go down?" Lin Yi's head started to hurt-his instincts were rarely wrong, and he really didn't want to go into the river unless he had to.
"That's not necessarily the case, we can wait for the river to ebb and then go down to find spirit sense grass. As long as we come up before the tide rises, it'll be fine. " Duanmu Yu said. This was a method passed down from her sect. If it wasn't for this, how could it be so easy to find the spiritual awareness grass growing in the river?
"Alright," he said. Lin Yi's eyes brightened. A River this wide had to have a tide, and going down when the tide was low would still be risky, but it was much less dangerous than just going down like that. It was a feasible idea.
After the two of them had come up with a plan, they sat down by the river to rest and recuperate while waiting for the tide to fall.
After a while, the river water receded, and the bottom of the river appeared in front of the two. Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu stood up at the same time and looked at each other before entering the river to look for the consciousness grass.
It was low, but it wasn't completely dry yet-only a small part of the riverbed was exposed. The two had to hurry and search this part of the riverbed-they'd have to return to shore when the tide came and wait for the next low tide.
What the two of them didn't expect was that the bottom of the river of consciousness was unexpectedly lush and green. All kinds of aquatic plants could be found all over the ground. It was easier said than done to search for spiritual awareness grass that they had never seen before. Even if Duanmu Yu knew some of its general characteristics, it would still not be an easy task.
"Let's take it slow. There's no limit to the number of times we can search. We'll search one section this time and another next time. If there's really spirit sense grass, I believe we'll find something. " Lin Yi said.
"Well, then let's start from the deepest river bed. When the tide rises, we'll look for the shore. That way, we'll have more time." Duanmu Yu suggested.
"Sure." Lin Yi nodded.
The two started searching from the center of the river-it was about four miles away from the shore, but even with Lin Yi's spirit sense, he couldn't tell how wide the river was, let alone the boundary of the other side. This spirit Sense River was so wide that it made one's hair stand on end. People who didn't know might think that it was an ocean.
"The mud is a little deep." Lin Yi frowned when he was halfway there-the mud was already up to his thighs, and it looked like he'd have to reach his chest at the very end. It'd be hard for a normal person to even move, let alone find the spirit sense grass in this environment. They might even lose their lives if they couldn't even get back to the water.
But this was a normal person-it was nothing to a Foundation Stage master. At most, there would be some obstruction to his movements. Lin Yi, on the other hand, was still in his Yuan spirit form. Although he had all the parts in his body, he was much lighter than his body. As long as he controlled his weight, he wouldn't sink even if he was standing on mud.
Of course, Lin Yi actually had an even simpler way, and that was to transform into a spirit. However, he felt that this place gave him a strange sense of danger. If something happened to his spirit, he might not even have the chance to react. He didn't dare to do that.
Duanmu Yu, on the other hand, was equally calm, walking on the mud as if it was flat ground. He looked even more elegant and silent than Lin Yi, and when he saw Lin Yi's surprised look, he smiled and explained,"Silent falling leaves is a special light body martial art technique of our spirit leaf sect."
"It's not bad," Lin Yi praised from the bottom of his heart. This wasn't a compliment-he could see the value of silent leaves. Using it to deal with mud was a waste of talent. This kind of silent movement technique could only display its greatest value in actual combat. As the big Senior Sister of the leaf spirit sect, Duanmu Yu was indeed not simple.
Duanmu Yu smiled and started searching for spirit sense grass. Lin Yi didn't waste any time either. They couldn't stay here for long. They had to be fast.
The two of them were very efficient, but even so, they still got nothing. When the tide rose, they returned to the shore empty-handed and looked at each other.
"It seems that this matter isn't that easy. We have to be prepared for a protracted war." Duanmu Yu said with a bitter smile.
