226 Watch your step
In the thick fog, Shen Muzhi followed Su Hua for a long time. In this desolate place, I don't know if it's true or not, everything is quiet, except for the sound of two people's footsteps falling on the rubble on the ground.
Shen Muzhi estimated that the two of them had been walking here for at least half an hour, but there was nothing around except for the dense fog.
On the desolate sandy and gravel ground, not even a single grass has been seen.
Those black shadows, I don't know if they are afraid, or if there is some big move brewing behind them, in short, they have never appeared again.
This lifeless silence makes people feel uneasy.
Especially Shen Muzhi.
He tightened the long sword he was carrying in his hand, and after hesitating for a moment, he took out two more thunder talismans and held them in his hand, just in case.
This place has a lot of yin energy, and the thunder talisman is an extremely yang thing, so it may be able to exert unexpected effects here.
Shen Muzhi thought again, why don't you send a few of these thunder talismans to Su Hua. But after thinking about it, I thought that Su Hua was a demon, and he seemed to be naturally resistant to Lei Fu.
So, I dismissed this idea again.
Just when he was secretly pondering in his heart, Su Hua, who was walking in front of him, suddenly stopped.
Shen Muzhi hurriedly stopped, and asked quietly, "What's wrong?"
Su Hua was silent.
Then, she turned and walked to the side.
After taking a few steps, Shen Muzhi knew why she suddenly changed direction.
A very soft sound of water was coming from the thick fog ahead.
Shen Muzhi suddenly remembered the sound of water that he and Xuan Cheng had heard in the mountains and forests of East Island. If it weren't for the sound of the water, he and Xuan Cheng might not have separated.
Thinking of this, Shen Mu's heart was uneasy, and after a little hesitation, he stretched out his hand to grab Su Hua, and said in a deep voice: "Be careful of deception!"
Su Hua glanced back at him in surprise, and then said, "I know." After speaking, he grabbed his hand with his backhand and said, "You follow closer." This time, there was less coldness in her voice, and more softness that was not too obvious.
Shen Muzhi didn't know why, but when he met her gaze, his cheeks suddenly became a little hot.
A faint light flashed at the bottom of Su Hua's eyes and quickly retracted, and then, taking Shen Muzhi, he walked quickly in the direction where the sound of water came.
As the two approached, the sound of the water grew louder.
However, the fog is also thicker.
The yin qi in the mist was even thicker, and the golden light blooming from the hosta above Shen Muzhi's head was even more intense, like the light of the scorching sun, dazzling and dazzling.
After walking for a while, the sound of the water was already very loud, as if it was right in front of me.
As they took one step, the thick fog, which was originally extremely viscous, suddenly disappeared.
The faint light rushed to the face, and it suddenly made people's eyes shine.
Shen Muzhi raised his eyes and saw that not far ahead, there was an incomparably huge willow tree. The huge canopy of trees, like a small mountain, lies silently on the ground.
The knotted branches, the fine wicker, there is a glimmer of light.
The light, as if breathing, was sometimes stronger, sometimes weaker.
Faintly, it seemed that some sound could be heard, like a whisper, like some kind of strange humming.
The innumerable slender willow stranded from the tree to the ground, and then spread along the ground, and then fell into a lake about two or three feet away from the tree.
The lake is not very large, and in the glowing water, there are black shadows constantly shuttling back and forth in it.
On the other side of the lake, there is a stream that is not too big or small. The water continues to overflow from the lake, meandering down the stream, and finally disappearing into the thick fog.
If you look closely, you can see that many slender willow branches spread from the lake all the way to the stream, and then down the stream, all the way into the thick fog.
As soon as Su Hua saw this willow tree, a light lit up in his eyes.
"You're waiting for me here!" her voice suddenly sounded in Shen Muzhi's heart, and then, before Shen Muzhi could react, she had already flown up, turned into a streamer, and swept towards the willow tree on the other side of the lake.
It's just that as soon as she flew into the air, a black shadow suddenly appeared in the lake.
The sound of hula water broke the silence of this place.
Shen Muzhi looked at this scene, and his heart suddenly rose to his throat. Without thinking about it, he blurted out: "Miss Su, be careful!"
Before he could finish speaking, a large number of petals had already collided with the black shadow with a shimmering light. There was a muffled thud, and the shadow was sent back into the lake. In the agitation of the water surface, several black shadows shot out at the same time, and attacked Su Hua in the air again.
Su Hua raised his sleeves, countless petals rushed out, and his slender figure moved among them, like a shock.
Shen Muzhi looked at this scene and couldn't help but be stunned.
In just a few blinks of an eye, all the black shadows were beaten back into the lake, and in the splashing of the lake, Su Hua had already fallen to the ground on the other side of the lake.
But at this moment, the wicker that was covered all over the ground writhed at the same time. Countless slender wickers burst out from the lake, like long whips, with the sound of breaking the wind, crazy, pumping towards Su Hua.
At the same time, among the huge willow trees in front of him, several rays of light suddenly flew out, with a fierce momentum, and they also pointed directly at Su Hua.
Shen Muzhi stood on the other side of the lake, watching this scene, although he knew that Su Hua's strength was not bad, he was still so nervous that his palms were sweating!
He even wanted to throw out the two thunder talismans in his hand, but he was worried that the thunder talisman would not distinguish between the enemy and me, and hurt Su Hua among them.
Just when Shen Muzhi was worried about Su Hua on the other side of the lake, two willow branches crawled out of the stream at some point, silently along the ground, and extended towards Shen Muzhi's feet.
Shen Muzhi didn't realize it, his whole mind at the moment was on Su Hua, who was already entangled with those wickers and those several rays of light on the other side, and he didn't realize that the danger was already quietly approaching him.
"Watch your step!" When Su Hua, who was fighting fiercely, turned around, his eyes subconsciously glanced at Shen Muzhi's side, and then he saw the two black shadows that had spread to Shen Muzhi's feet, and at the same time he was startled, he hurriedly shouted.
Shen Muzhi heard the voice, and after being stunned for a moment, he hurriedly lowered his head.
But it was too late.
The two wickers suddenly looked up like a poisonous snake and suddenly wrapped around his feet.
Shen Muzhi did not hesitate, and slashed at these two wickers with a swing of his sword.
It's just that these two seemingly slender wickers are extremely hard. Shen Muzhi's sword fell on it, and he could only hear the sound of clanging, but he didn't see the slightest sign of the wicker breaking.
The two wickers were on his legs, tightening as they climbed up. Soon, the slender wicker was embedded in the skin, and blood oozed out.
The blood-soaked wicker suddenly emitted a faint glimmer on it. It was as if a root had grown from the wicker and pierced into Shen Muzhi's body.
Shen Muzhi only felt that the blood in his body was rapidly decreasing, and his vitality was also passing away.
In a few moments, he felt dizzy.
I'm afraid, in a few moments, he will be sucked into a dried corpse.
And on the other side of the lake, Su Hua was deceived by one of the lights because of the distraction just now, and hit her on the back. Suddenly, the whole person rolled forward and flew out, and those wickers took advantage of the situation to tremble. It didn't take much effort to wrap Su Hua into a large cocoon, and then pulled it into the canopy of the huge willow tree.
Shen Mu was dizzy and vaguely saw this scene. It was as if he had been pricked by something, and the sharp pain suddenly cleared his chaotic head from blood loss.
Then, taking advantage of these sobriety, he bit the tip of his tongue violently. The sweet smell of pain wrapped in blood permeated his senses, making him a little more sober.
The thunder talisman that had already been pinched in his hand suddenly lit up with runes on it.
A strong extreme yang qi surged out from Shen Muzhi's palm. The two wickers, which were about to climb to Shen Muzhi's chest, suddenly seemed to be greatly frightened, and hurriedly retreated, and even let out an extremely thin and sharp chirp, which was full of fear.
Just before they could leave, an extremely bright light suddenly appeared in mid-air, and then fell sharply towards Shen Muzhi's head.
On Shen Muzhi's body, the white light spread out, and he was wrapped in one fell swoop.
And the two wickers that had just retreated to Shen Muzhi's feet were not so lucky, and there were several loud bangs one after another, and dust was raised all over the sky, and those two wickers disappeared in an instant.
In a moment, the dust dissipated, Shen Muzhi was lying at the bottom of a big pit, the white light that protected him had been removed, and his face was extremely pale, as soon as he sat up, he spat out a mouthful of blood.
The already pale face was instantly like gold paper.
Just now, although those few runes and thunders were blocked by the jade pendant given by Brother He Xian, the powerful shock still injured Shen Muzhi, who was already extremely weak.
Shen Muzhi hurriedly took a drop of the medicine sent by Xuan Cheng and took it, and then without waiting for the effect of the medicine to take effect, he couldn't wait to crawl out of the big pit with his hands and feet.
As soon as he climbed out, he looked up at the other side.
At this glance, he was dumbfounded.
On the other side of the lake, where the huge willow tree should have stood, was now empty. The willow tree just disappeared.
Su Hua naturally disappeared.
After Shen Muzhi was stunned for a moment, he suddenly panicked in his heart, and opened his mouth and shouted: "Miss Su-" The eager voice spread out, but there was no response.
Then, the thick fog that had originally only surrounded the outside suddenly rolled and poured over. In an instant, the place was swallowed up.
Shen Muzhi was also wrapped in this viscous thick fog.
The golden light above his head suddenly sprinkled down, blocking out all the rich yin qi in the dense mist.
Shen Muzhi looked at this scene, although he was worried and panicked in his heart, he immediately forced himself to calm down. Now that Su Hua disappeared with the willow tree, if he wants to survive here, he can only rely on himself!
Shen Muzhi has never been afraid to rely on himself!
Thinking about it, he took out a few more Qi Replenishing Pills and blood replenishing pills, and stuffed them all into his mouth. Before he could chew it, a strong wind suddenly hit behind him!
Shen Mu's heart froze, and at the same time as his feet flashed to the side, a red light appeared behind him, and he brazenly met the black shadow that had already attacked him.
