Chapter 52 A False Surprise
Just a few days after they came back, Dugu Yun and Long Xiaoqi took the Airbus to Russia again. This time their destination was directly to the Peter family.
Petrov was quite polite and came to pick up Duguyun and Long Xiaoqi in person. Surrounded by dozens of cars, the group gradually disappeared into the vast sea of people.
I have to say that there is still a certain difference between the ideas of Easterners and Westerners. In the Peter family, there are no continuous mountains like the Dugu family, nor the majestic momentum of the Miller family. Some are just a castle with a simple charm, like returning to the fairy tale of the 19th century.
Petrov led the way in front of him, and the two of them pointed as they walked. Even Duguyun came here for the first time. Several big families have always been well water. Although the relationship is not bad, after all, there is a lot of competition, and naturally it is not much better.
Perhaps all the family's methods of receiving guests are the same. Petlov led the two directly into a spacious living room, in which delicious food had already been arranged, and it seemed that he was waiting for the arrival of the two.
Petrov was still cheerful and didn't say much, but talked directly with Duguyun about the essence of water. The people who can sit here are all the highly valued predecessors of the Peter family, so Petrov naturally has nothing to hide from them. In fact, Petrov has two other purposes. First, he can invisibly put some pressure on two people. Although Petlov did not take the opportunity to frame them, it is still necessary to add a bargaining chip to himself in the negotiation. Second, with so many people as witnesses, even if Duguyun wants to regret it, Petrov will not watch his family's treasures fall into the water easily.
Of course, even in the environment of the Miller family, the two finally came out safely, so this time, they will naturally not be nervous, but they are always prepared to avoid anything unexpected.
"Haha... Dugu patriarch, let's have a toast and wish our cooperation success, and Xiaoqi was entrusted with a heavy responsibility at a young age, and the future is destined to have an unlimited future." After saying that, Petrov took the lead in drinking the wine in the glass.
Although he was tired of hearing the same words, he still raised his glass politely, nodded slightly, and drank it. After all, he came to talk about cooperation, not to smash the scene, and there was no need to be so domineering.
Several people talked very well, and even Petrov promised to let the two of them take a break today and take them to the place where the essence of water was hidden tomorrow. The two of them just politely said a few words and said nothing more.
All night, both of them slept soundly. In fact, Duguyun didn't sleep much at all. Because Long Xiaoqi still has important things to do tomorrow, Duguyun simply sleep in **. If there is any wind blowing, he will definitely know it as soon as possible.
After turning around, the two used the morning and were taken to see Petrov, and Petlov also went out early to wait.
Along the way, Petrov seemed to have deliberately talked about Johnson with Duguyun. Duguyun was testing Petrov, and Petlov was not? This is how the two old foxes fought, tested each other, and touched each other's details. Up to now, Duguyun and Long Xiaoqi are almost relieved. It seems that Peterlov really wants to cooperate with the Dugu family. In this case, Duguyun is not willing to ask for it. If it hadn't been for the aggressiveness of the Peter family at that time, Duguyun would have really not thought about what to do with the Peter family.
Several people walked through a small forest and then saw a building similar to a chimney. Duguyun and Long Xiaoqi were puzzled. Did Petlov hide the essence of water in the chimney?
Petrov seemed to see the doubts in their hearts. He smiled and didn't say much, but proudly continued to walk forward with the two people.
"Pear Peter, is the essence of water in this chimney?" Duguyun looked puzzled. He didn't expect that Petlov had hidden the essence of water in this place, which was really unexpected.
"Haha... Don't worry! Dugu patriarch, the essence of water is good in this, but it is no longer above, but below. Peterlov seemed to be deliberately hanging the tastes of the two people, and his fingers gently pointed down.
"Below?" The two looked at each other in con's face and didn't expect that the essence of water would be under the chimney.
"Haha... Of course, I found that the essence of water loves condensation, so the temperature of storage must be low. Moreover, who would have thought that the essence of water was hidden by us below? Isn't this a good way to hide people's eyes and ears?" Petlov asked Duguyun with a smile. Duguyun really didn't know how to answer this Petlov's question.
Several people walked to the front of the chimney. Petrov took out something similar to a remote control from his pocket and gently pressed a button on it. Then, he saw a brick suddenly come out of the wall. Petlov stepped forward and pressed his left middle finger hard on it. Then, he heard a boom. The rumbling sound opened an invisible wall.
Duguyun and Long Xiaoqi were stunned. They didn't expect that Peterlov would set up so many organs for the essence of water.
"Xiaoqi, you can go in now. The essence of water is on the eighth floor underground, but you should be careful. The temperature of each floor will gradually decrease. By the eighth floor, it has even exceeded the limit of human beings." Peterlov looked at Long Xiaoqi with a smile, as if he had the ability to take it by himself. Long Xiaoqi raised her eyebrows, didn't say much, and walked down.
"Xiaoqi! Be careful!" Duguyun did not forget to tell in the back. Long Xiaoqi stopped, turned around with a confident smile, did not say anything, and continued to walk.
Peterlov did not lie to him. As soon as he went down to the first floor, Long Xiaoqi felt a cold breath rushing towards him.
"Wow..." Long Xiaoqi slowly wrapped the blue air around her whole body, which made her feel much better. However, here, the whole world is blue, which is mixed with Long Xiaoqi's warlike color.
shaking her body, Long Xiaoqi continued to walk down. This is only the first floor, and there are seven floors waiting for her. However, Long Xiaoqi really doesn't understand how the Peter family entered the eighth floor. Are they all not bad?
The second layer is colder, but it is still within Long Xiaoqi's tolerance, the third and fourth layers...
Finally, Long Xiaoqi came to the sixth floor. After arriving here, Long Xiaoqi was even shudder with cold and hugged her shoulder tightly, as if a flame suddenly appeared to give her warmth.
When she came to the sixth floor, Long Xiaoqi had lost the motivation to continue. If she persisted, she would definitely freeze to death before she found the essence of water.
"Is the sword... spirit... there?" Long Xiaoqi can't even speak well. Maybe only Jianling is not afraid of this cold.
I heard the cold sound, but it seemed that I could feel the extreme cold here, and I trembled as soon as I appeared.
"So you are also afraid of the cold." Long Xiaoqi shook her head helplessly. He originally thought that the sword spirit was just a spiritual force, without entity, and should not be afraid of the cold, but who thought that the sword spirit was so weak.
"What kind of natural cold air is this? This is obviously a ghost wind deliberately created by someone. This kind of wind does not belong to the world, but it can actually appear here, which is really a lot of work!" Jianling looked at Long Xiaoqi disdainfully, as if she was very unhappy.
"Sword Spirit, hey... Hey... The essence of water is below, but now I can't go down. I don't know if you can do anything?" Long Xiaoqi saw that Jianling seemed to be a little unhappy, so she quickly put her hot face on her cold buttocks and said with a smile.
"Hmm! Naturally, there is a way. Think about what this dark wind was before I became like this. Wait. After saying that, the sword spirit changed into a light and penetrated into the Dugu Sword.
"Well..." Long Xiaoqi completely collapsed. Is the sword spirit's way to get into the Dugu sword and hide? But Long Xiaoqi couldn't get in.
While Long Xiaoqi was thinking about how to pass through the sixth layer, a golden energy mask suddenly appeared around him, which could just wrap Long Xiaoqi alone.
"Huh? What is this?" Long Xiaoqi looked at the sudden energy mask inexplicably.
"You boy, go quickly. This is my unique trick after working hard. If your boy is delayed like this, let me deal with you." In my mind, the voice of the sword spirit came from my mind. Long Xiaoqi naturally couldn't resist the instructions of the sword spirit. She cursed secretly and continued to walk forward, but not to mention that this energy mask really had a cold effect.
In this way, under the protection of the energy hood, Long Xiaoqi came to the eighth floor. As soon as she walked down the stairs, she could see a pool in the center. There was a high platform in the center of the pool, and a blue gas floated on the platform. Long Xiaoqi knew that it must be the essence of water.
"Haha... So you're here." Long Xiaoqi rushed up as if she had seen ** naked beauty, but when he walked to the edge of the pool, he fainted dramatically.
"Hey... I don't want you to know, but it's not the time you know, and we have no choice!" The sword spirit and the black figure appeared again, but their faces did not change at all because of the extreme cold.
"Magic! I'll see you this time." Jianling looked sideways at the man in black. The man in black did not speak, but nodded, and then saw his arms shaking, and the essence of water actually flew up by himself.
"Haha, the essence of this mass of water is many times stronger than the essence of that mass of fire. It seems that its owner still takes good care of it." Jianling smiled and looked very happy.
"Well, now both gas have been found. This time, it's up to us. Hey... Although I was not very optimistic about this child at the beginning, I have to say that his help to us is really too great. Maybe God's choice is right." The man in black shook his head, sighed, and then mysteriously disappeared.
Jianling took a look at Long Xiaoqi, who was still lying on the ground, and did not say anything. He also turned into a fine light and returned to Dugu Jian's body.
I don't know how long she slept, Long Xiaoqi opened her eyes in a daze, looked at the world in front of her, and felt very depressed. Why did she faint inexplicably every time she was about to come into contact with the essence? However, Long Xiaoqi had probably guessed the result. It must be the "good" sword spirit to help him take the essence of water. Put it away.
Sure enough, the essence of water was sealed into the precious jade by the sword spirit. Looking at the two treasures on his body, Long Xiaoqi became more and more confused, but vaguely, he always felt that this matter must not be so simple. These two treasures may be the key to helping him succeed in the future.
Long Xiaoqi walked up from under the chimney in a daze and looked at the anxious two people. Long Xiaoqi really wanted to laugh, but finally resisted.
"Xiaoqi! Did it work?" Duguyun stepped forward, pulled Long Xiaoqi's sleeve, and couldn't wait to ask.
"Well... it's a success!" Long Xiaoqi said vaguely. In fact, it's not that he doesn't want to show off, but that he doesn't know the whole process at all. Peterlov is easy to fool, but Duguyun is hard to say.
Although Petlov asked repeatedly, Long Xiaoqi still did not say how to subdue the essence of water. At the critical moment, he always covered it with vague words. In the end, even Duguyun had to shake his head. It seemed that Long Xiaoqi, a child, was really able to fool.
Now that they have got what they want, the two of them will no longer stay too much. After all, this is not in their own family. First, it is not so comfortable, second! Who knows if Petrov will change his mind and take advantage of the fire.
And Peterlov did not say much, but emphasized the cooperation between the two families several times with Duguyun, and Duguyun also agreed unintentionally. After all, the essence of fire and water in Long Xiaoqi's hands is the most important thing now.
The two finally returned to the clan safely and without danger. After this incident, Long Xiaoqi was one step closer to opening the seal, but in the dark, Long Xiaoqi always felt that something was going to happen, and a bigger challenge might be about to happen.
