Underwater, it's not pitch black.

Compared to the darkness outside, where you can't see your fingers, there is some ghostly light that comes from nowhere, illuminating the water strangely.

After the initial novelty, Shen Muzhi realized that Su Hua brought him underwater as if it was not just an accident. She seems to have been deliberately swimming up the road today.

So why?

Shen Muzhi looked sideways at Su Hua next to him, and after hesitating for a moment, he decided to ask, "Miss Su, is there anything in this river?"

When Su Hua heard this, his brows moved slightly, and when he turned his head to look at him, a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.

She nodded directly, surprisingly honest.

"There's something in this water that might be useful for my practice. Su Hua replied.

"What is it?" Shen Muzhi asked curiously.

Su Hua shook his head: "I won't know until I see you." ”

Shen Muzhi was slightly stunned: "Then how do you know that this thing is useful for your cultivation?"

"Feeling!" Su Hua replied, and the simple word suddenly slapped all the curiosity in Shen Mu's heart to the bottom of his heart in an instant.

Shen Muzhi was stunned and couldn't help laughing, this is really a good answer!

At this time, the speed under Su Hua's feet suddenly became a little faster.

Shen Muzhi glanced at her in surprise.

"Take the bead!" Su Hua's voice suddenly sounded, Shen Mu's heart was shocked, and the other hand holding the bead subconsciously tightened. In the middle of the moment, there was a thud, and the swirling petals that were guarding them suddenly trembled.

Shen Muzhi looked through those petals and saw countless black shadows surrounding them.

Su Hua's eyes narrowed, the light under his eyes lit up, and the petals around him lit up with a shimmering light, and the fragrance was even stronger, enveloping them and rushing forward.

The sound of thumping sounded one after another, and the surrounding petals continued to crumble into powder, and then re-condensed.

Su Hua's expression became more and more solemn, and the speed under his feet became faster and faster.

Shen Muzhi followed her side firmly, holding his breath nervously, for fear of making the slightest movement and affecting Su Hua.

After a few moments, there was a sudden silence. Looking out through the petals, those black shadows that were chasing after each other seemed to have disappeared.

Shen Muzhi was about to breathe a sigh of relief, but at a glance, he found that Su Hua's expression was even more solemn.

The breath he was about to let go of instantly hung up again.

At this moment, a yin and evil aura ignored the barrier of Su Hua's petals and slowly infiltrated in.

"Hold your breath!" Su Hua drank coldly.

But without waiting for Shen Muzhi to do so, there was a faint golden light on the hosta hairpin above his head, blocking all these eroded evil aura.

Su Hua glanced at the hosta above his head in surprise, and then looked at Shen Muzhi's gaze, which was a little more weird.

Then, as soon as Su Hua raised his hand, he accepted those petals.

Shen Mu's heart was shocked, and he was just about to sacrifice the water-avoiding beads given by Su Hua, but he soon found that there was no river water gushing around. On closer inspection, they had left the river and arrived at a strange place.

The surrounding fog is thick, and the place you can see, but you can't reach it all around. The ground under your feet is full of gravel and fine sand.

"Miss Su, where is this?" Shen Muzhi couldn't help but ask.

Su Hua thought for a moment and replied, "I don't know, but it's probably an illusion." ”

"Illusion?" Shen Muzhi was shocked and surprised.

It wasn't the first time he had experienced a fantasy, he had experienced it once before when he had crossed the moat, and what he saw and felt in it was so real that even now when he thought about it, he still couldn't believe it was fake.

It's just that the illusion can still be experienced by two people at the same time?

Shen Muzhi looked at Su Hua suspiciously.

Su Hua seemed to see what he was thinking, and explained: "There are many kinds of illusions, some illusions are set by using personal state of mind; As she spoke, she swept her eyes around and said in a deep voice: "For example, here." ”

When Shen Muzhi heard this, his heart suddenly sank with her voice.

"Be careful with yourself later, if you accidentally get separated from me, don't walk around, just stand where you are and wait for me, I will come to you." Su Hua suddenly turned his head to look at him and instructed in a condensed voice.

Shen Muzhi nodded hurriedly.

At this moment, suddenly a thick fog rolled on the side, and several black shadows shot out, heading straight for the two of them.

Seeing this, Su Hua pulled Shen Muzhi and floated back, and at the same time raised his hand, countless petals gushed out, swarming towards those black shadows.

As soon as those black shadows touched the petals, they instantly collapsed into wisps of black smoke, only to turn around in the distance, and then condensed into disembodied black shadows again, and pounced towards them again.

At the same time, the surrounding fog rolled in several places, and more black shadows appeared, with strange hissing sounds, and pounced fiercely.

Although it was easy for Su Hua to deal with these black shadows, there were too many of them, and they were almost impossible to kill. After a while, Su Hua had to deal with these things again, and he had to take care of Shen Muzhi, and he gradually became a little scrambling.

Seeing this, Shen Muzhi hurriedly said: "Miss Su, don't worry about me, the strength of these things is not high, I can do it." After that, without waiting for Su Hua to reply, he had already grabbed his hand back from her hand. With a movement in his heart, the long sword had fallen into his hand, and the Xuantian Sword Technique moved with it, and several fine sword qi, with an ethereal meaning, instantly shattered the two black shadows that were approaching.

And after these two black shadows were shattered, it took a long time before they condensed into black shadows elsewhere again.

However, this point was not discovered by Shen Muzhi and Su Hua at the beginning.

After Su Hua saw that Shen Muzhi could indeed deal with these black shadows, he had no worries in his heart, and his actions became even more aggressive. In a short time, those black shadows were killed and scattered in all directions, and many of them were scattered by the fluttering petals before they could regroup.

Soon, the black shadows seemed to be frightened, and fled back into the thick fog, disappearing without a trace.

Su Hua stood in place and waited, and when he saw that no black shadow appeared, he called Shen Muzhi and walked towards the depths of the dense fog.

Wherever the two passed, the fog dispersed automatically, and they seemed to be very afraid.

......

......

In the valley, a bonfire has been lit.

The light of the jumping fire illuminated the faces of the few people sitting around a little uncertainly.

Ning Xiaoliu's face was apprehensive and anxious, his eyes cautiously swept over Bai Yu's face opposite, and then fell on the face of Luo Yuelan who was sitting next to him, after a little hesitation, he whispered with some trembling: "Senior Sister Luo, when are we ......" Before the words were finished, Luo Yuelan raised his eyes, and his voice immediately stopped abruptly.

Luo Yuelan glanced at him, then withdrew her gaze and turned her head to look at Bai Yu on the side.

"Wait!" Bai Yu said in a low voice.

When Ning Xiaoliu heard this, he was even more anxious, and he opened his mouth to speak, but after seeing Bai Yu's expressionless face, he immediately swallowed back the words that came to his mouth with interest.

Time passes slowly.

Ning Xiaoliu sat there, feeling a sense of torment like a year.

He glanced up at Bai Yu and Luo Yuelan from time to time, but no matter how eager he was, he didn't dare to say anything more.

After about a stick of incense, Bai Yu, who had been sitting on the opposite side and had been silent, suddenly raised his head and looked towards the east mountain.

Seeing this, Ning Xiaoliu's heart suddenly became excited.

"What's wrong?" Luo Yuelan next to her frowned and asked.

Bai Yu furrowed his brows, and after carefully sensing it for a while, he said, "There was some movement just now." With that, after a moment's hesitation, he got up.

Seeing this, Luo Yuelan also got up.

The other points also had to get up.

When Bai Yu saw this, he stretched out his hand to signal them all to sit, and said, "You stay here, don't go over." ”

Ning Xiaoliu refused, and after being coldly glanced at by Bai Yu, he immediately sat back obediently.

When Bai Yu left, he instructed Zhao He: "You look at him, don't let him follow." ”

Zhao He nodded in response.

Bai Yu and Luo Yuelan quickly went up the mountain, and after reaching the top of the mountain, the two looked down the hillside and saw that there was already a thick fog around the big river.

Bai Yu wrinkled his brows and stared at it for a long time, then turned his head and said to Luo Yuelan: "You just wait for me here, if I can't come back before dawn, you can take the three of them out of here." ”

When Luo Yuelan heard this, she frowned: "Senior Brother Bai, do you think I'm greedy for life and afraid of death?"

Bai Yu laughed and said, "Senior Sister Luo, where do you want to go, it's just that the three of them have to have someone to protect them." Now in this secret realm, it is not as good as before, with the strength of the three of them, it is very difficult to get out alive and safe! Moreover, the personalities of Ning Xiaoliu and Qi Mu are a little reckless, which is even more unfavorable. It would be much better if I had you with me. ”

Luo Yuelan pursed her lips, stared at Bai Yu, and did not answer.

Bai Yu said helplessly: "If I can't save them if I go, you probably won't be able to change anything if you go." So, instead of both of you going in, let me try it alone. If it works, it is good. If not, Zhao and the three of them have your protection, and I can rest assured. After speaking, after thinking about it, he took out another thing from his body and handed it to Luo Yuelan: "If I can't come back, help me bring this purse to my master." ”

Luo Yuelan lowered her eyes and glanced at the purse, a purse with a very simple style, which was already a little old, and it had obviously been used for a long time. It's just that let her go on like this, she always has something bad in her heart.

In fact, she has never been a righteous person, but Bai Yu has helped her a lot along the way, and now let her watch Bai Yu go alone...... It's about the same as sending them to death...... She really had some trouble feeling in her heart.

Seeing that she refused to let go, Bai Yu didn't say more, bent down and put the purse on the ground, took a step back, bowed towards Luo Yuelan, and then turned around and jumped, his sleeves raised, like a big bird, and threw himself into the darkness in front of him without hesitation.

Luo Yuelan stood there, hating for the first time that she was too sober.

She stared at the purse on the ground with an ugly face, hesitated for a moment, and then bent down to pick it up. The brocade on the purse is a little cool to start.

These coolnesses, like many embroidery needles, are carefully and densely pierced into her palms.

The pain is not so bad, but it is difficult to ignore and very uncomfortable.

Luo Yuelan suddenly stomped her feet angrily, and then her feet moved, her figure was like the wind, and she immediately chased Bai Yu, who had disappeared, and blew into the darkness ahead.
