Apocalyptic life from scratch

Chapter 1061: Hydrophobia

"Your Highness..."

Asuo couldn't help but glanced at the boy.The two looked at each other, and both reacted quickly.

Hydrophobia!
An Jie once said that she has hydrophobia, but neither of them thought that the so-called hydrophobia would be so severe that they dare not even walk in the river.

"I'm sorry, I... I..."

An Jie closed her eyes tightly, trembling as she said in a small voice.She knew that she was in a tense escape, and she had no time to waste, and she really didn't want the two of them to see her humiliated. However, such a natural fear could not be overcome with perseverance.An Jie tried several times, but she was still unable to take a step. She had no choice but to look at the two for help.

But just as she raised her head, she realized that the boy had walked in front of her at some point. He suddenly turned around, bent down, embraced her stiff legs, and directly carried her on his back.

"what……"

An Jie exclaimed, subconsciously covering her mouth.

She didn't expect the boy to make such a bold move suddenly, and her face turned red immediately after.

"Let's go."

The young man didn't seem to feel that there was anything wrong, he nodded to Asuo lightly, and ran in the river with An Jie on his back.

"Thank you, thank you..."

Lying on the young man's back, An Jie seemed to become much quieter, and whispered a thank you in the young man's ear.She felt that her heart was beating so fast at this time, and she was a little afraid of being noticed by the boy, so she could only lean up as hard as she could, but she didn't know that this would only make her and the boy get in closer contact.

"Crash..."

The sound of feet stepping on the water kept ringing.

Staying on the young man's back, An Jie felt that her fear of the river water had decreased a lot, but she still kept her eyes tightly closed, because the two of them were too close, and she could see the young man's side face as soon as she opened her eyes. Now, she can even see the cold hair on the other party's neck clearly. This scene will only make it more difficult for her to restrain the tension in her heart.

"Squeak..."

I don't know if it's an illusion, but An Jie, who had her eyes closed, suddenly heard a rustling sound coming from her ears.

An Jie looked up suspiciously, but she didn't find any source of the sound around her, and the boy and Asuo beside him also looked normal, as if they didn't hear any movement.

"what happened?"

The boy noticed the movement on his back, and looked back slightly.

"That...you didn't hear...this voice..."

Anjie asked tentatively.

"what sound?"

The boy and Asuo looked at each other, and they both looked over with puzzled eyes.

"No way……"

An Jie swallowed, suddenly feeling a little creepy.The expressions of the two don't seem to be fake. So, this voice is really only heard by you?

"Squeak..."

Just as she was thinking about it, that voice rang in her ears again, An Jie shivered unconsciously, and clasped the boy's shoulders with both hands.

"Hey, are you okay?"

Sensing An Jie's fear, the boy frowned and asked.

"No, it's alright..."

An Jie shook her head. To her surprise, it was obviously just an irregular sound, which did not belong to any language she knew, but she seemed to be able to understand the meaning contained in this sound.

An Jie tilted her ears and discerned carefully. She quickly understood what the voice was saying: come here, come in this direction!
This was actually a voice calling her, like a girl in trouble, inviting her with a mournful voice.

"Well, can we... can we go in this direction..."

Suddenly, An Jie raised her head, stretched her finger forward, and said this to the boy.

"Oh?"

The young man was stunned, and subconsciously followed her fingers to look over, only to find that she was pointing at a few rocks piled up on the shore.

"What? Is there anything there?"

The boy asked in a puzzled way, and Asuo also looked over strangely.

No matter how you look at it, the rocks are just rocks that can be seen everywhere, and the surrounding area is covered by a large number of bushes. Such stones can be seen everywhere on the shore, and there is really nothing special about it.

"This...I don't know...but..."

An Jie spoke intermittently, and she began to lose confidence.

She was constantly suspecting that the voice in her ear was probably just a hallucination, maybe because she was being carried by the boy, or maybe because of her hydrophobia, or maybe even a suspicious formation set up by the enemy. In short, If you want to find the reason, you need as many as you want.

But no matter how much she doubts, there is always a voice in her heart reminding her: If she doesn't respond to this call now, then she may regret it later!
An Jie didn't know how to tell the two of them this specious feeling, so she hesitated, but now that she was so nervous, there was no time for her to hesitate, and she had to make a decision immediately.

Looking at An Jie's appearance, the young man thought for a while, then suddenly reached out and picked up a pebble from the ground, and threw it towards the rock on the shore.

The eyes of the three chased the pebbles, seeing that the stone was about to collide with the rock, but in the next second, all three of them widened their eyes.

Because the three of them saw with their own eyes that when the stone hit the rock formation, it seemed to hit the surface of the water, penetrated without hindrance, and disappeared immediately.

"Your Highness, this is..."

Asuo glanced at the boy in surprise.

The boy thought for a while, walked to the side of the rock formation, stretched out his right hand, and touched the edge of the rock.

Sure enough, his palm didn't feel the presence of any rocks, and he sank directly into it, leaving only a protruding arm.

"It seems...it's empty..."

The boy said so.He glanced back at Asuo and An Jie, and the three exchanged glances quickly. In the end, they all decided to go in and have a look.

The young man carried An Jie on his back, and carefully stepped into the barrier of this rock. Asuo followed the two of them closely, and stepped into it after confirming that no one was following him.

……

In the outside world, not long after the three of them disappeared, a group of people came from afar and would pass by here soon.

When passing by this rock, the footsteps of the woman with the high ponytail suddenly faltered, and she let out a light sigh, and looked around with some doubts.

"Captain, why..."

The team member behind asked, but before he finished speaking, he was interrupted by the woman's silent gesture.

The woman looked at it strangely for a while, then suddenly squatted down and reached out to touch the stream water, and following her movements, the originally clear water surface suddenly became cloudy, and ripples began to float out from her fingers, continuously It stretched forward, and finally floated to the rock on the shore, and then disappeared.

"Sure enough, they went ashore from here..."

The woman stood up, confidently deduced.

At this time, she was really impressed by these children, she could think of a strategy to get out of the water, and even use the mount to deliberately mislead them. If she hadn't noticed in time that the depth of the footprints before and after the river had changed, it would have been true. Some people will be misled by such simple means.

In short, this is not a countermeasure that ordinary children can come up with. At least the princess in her family who is a bit nervous is unlikely to think of it. So, it is the boy who thought of this method?

The woman exhaled, if that's all, it's fine, at most he's just a genius boy, but what really surprised her was that the boy actually owned one, no, two chocobos!

Creatures like chocobos are extremely rare in the human race. Of course, it's not just the human race. It should be said that when you think of chocobos, you should be able to quickly think of another big race.

As the birthplace of chocobos, blood race and chocobos can be said to be in a bonded relationship. At this time, if there is only one chocobo, it can be said to be obtained by a special method, but now unexpectedly If there are two, there is actually only one possibility: the two companions the princess met were both children from the blood race!

This is something that the young An Jie didn't think of, but after all, the woman has traveled the mainland for many years, and she can see through such things almost at a glance.

If those two children were of blood race, then this matter would be a bit interesting.Because the blood clan and their Principality of Camille are allies, the royal families of both sides still have a good personal relationship, not to mention, Her Royal Highness Princess of this country also has a marriage contract with the prince of the blood clan.

The woman felt a little lucky at this time, but fortunately she didn't really attack the boy just now, otherwise it might affect the relationship between the two countries.

Having said that, since the princess's companions are children of two blood races, there is no need to worry. You can be sure that even if those two children know the true identity of the princess, they will not be against her.

"Captain, you said they went ashore here?"

At this moment, a member of the team behind him suddenly asked suspiciously: "But, there doesn't seem to be any footprints here..."

He pointed to the surrounding land, and the woman looked along.Indeed, there are no traces of going ashore around. If it really leaves the water from here, it should leave a lot of water stains.

The woman frowned, touched her chin and turned around, and soon she shook her head: "No, I have a hunch, the princess and the others must have come ashore from here... But, it must have used some special The method left..."

She said in a firm tone, and as she spoke, her gaze finally stopped focusing on the ground, and turned leisurely to the abrupt rock in front of her.

After staring at the rock for a while, the woman suddenly reached out and touched the rock surface.

As soon as you touch it, there is a rough feeling of rubbing.

This is truly the real rock unmistakable.

The woman still felt that something was wrong.After thinking about it, she simply raised her right hand, covered it with golden holy light, and slashed down with a palm knife.
