This dark river is not too wide, about three meters, lift the fluorescent stone to irradiate it, you can't see the bottom at a glance, the depth should be quite deep.

What's more strange is that the water of this dark river is not as transparent as ordinary river water, but has a slightly shiny gold, and faintly, Mu Yang seems to be able to see something swimming in it.

"Huh, Xiaoxuan, are you chasing those fish here?" Looking closely, Mu Yang could find that those fish that were swimming were the fish they were eating every day.

Xiao Xuan nodded, did not continue to stay, its body fell slightly, and its limbs jumped over the river to the opposite bank, and then turned its head and shouted at Mu Yang, urging him to jump over quickly.

I don't know if it's because of curiosity or other reasons, Mu Yang stared at the dark river, standing as if he was in a daze, as if there was something in the river that attracted him.

Gradually, Mu Yang slowly squatted down, stretched out his finger and stretched out his finger towards the dark river, and his ears couldn't hear the anxious call of Xiao Xuan on the other side of the river.

"Wow. ”

As soon as Mu Yang's fingers touched the surface of the dark river, a bone-chilling cold spread rapidly upwards from his fingers, rushing into his head, and in an instant, Mu Yang didn't even have a chance to shiver, as if the whole person was even frozen.

"Whew!"

In an instant, Xiao Xuan was like a fried hair, the hair on his whole body stood upright, and let out a terrible scream, it bared its teeth fiercely, its body squatted violently, and the claws on its limbs tightened, marking several scratches on the ground.

Xiao Xuan jumped like a great enemy, and slammed straight into Mu Yang, who was stiffly squatting on the ground, under the action of that huge force, Mu Yang's fingers that were in contact with the dark river surface, and after a lot of fluctuations, the two separated.

At this time, Mu Yang, who had his back to the ground, was like a stiff ice sculpture, still maintaining his original squatting and stretching out his hand, unable to do any movement at all, nor did he have any consciousness.

Xiao Xuan frowned humanely, walked around Muyang around him several times, and finally called out as if he had made a difficult decision.

Xiao Xuan stood upright, lifted its right front paw and put it above Mu Yang's head, and at the same time stretched out its left front paw and slashed at the flesh of its right claw, and a drop of purple-gold blood containing inexplicable power dripped from the wound of its right claw.

When the blood dripped onto Muyang's forehead, there was a sound of ice melting when ice met boiling water, and then bursts of strange white smoke came out of Muyang's body.

"Well, what happened to me just now, alas! Xiao Xuan, why are you hurt!"

The white smoke dissipated, Mu Yang opened his eyes, his memory only stayed at the moment when he was just frozen, and he didn't have any impression of what happened after that, and then, he found the scar on Xiao Xuan's right paw on the top of his head.

"Woohoo, woohoo. ”

Xiao Xuan looked like it was at this moment, the originally golden and shiny hair on its whole body seemed to dim a little at this moment, and when it retracted its right paw, Xiao Xuan stretched out her tongue and licked it on the wound.

Then it pointed to the dark river and called eagerly at Mu Yang, while shaking its head constantly, signaling that Mu Yang must not put his hand into the dark river again.

"Was I frozen by this dark river just now? Xiao Xuan, you saved me, and you !! with your blood."

Mu Yang, who noticed that his forehead was a little itchy, reached out and wiped it, but saw a trace of purple-gold blood remaining.

Then he tried to recall the moment he reached out and touched the dark river, and everything he had seen after waking up, and he had roughly guessed the context of the whole thing.

"I'm sorry Xiaoxuan, I'm sorry, it's all because I was too reckless just now, and I don't know why I stretched out my finger into the river so curious! I'm sorry, you have to scratch yourself to save me. ”

Looking at Xiao Xuan, whose hair was slightly dim, Mu Yang knew that this drop of blood might not be light for Xiao Xuan, so he hugged Xiao Xuan who was still licking his wounds in distress, and kept apologizing to it while rubbing Xiao Xuan's head with his face.

"Whew. ”

Xiao Xuan screamed softly, raised her head and stretched out her tongue to gently add to Muyang's face, as if to comfort Muyang Don't worry, it's fine.

After a long while, Mu Yang's guilty mood slowly calmed down under Xiao Xuan's comfort.

Holding Xiao Xuan and standing up, he looked at the dark river that had nothing particularly strange on the surface, as if it had turned into a flood beast in an instant, entrenched in front of him, and kept roaring at him.

"This dark river is so weird, not only is it cold to the bone, but it also has the effect of instantly freezing the soul, but those fish can swim freely in it, no wonder this fish has such a miraculous effect. ”

Mu Yang couldn't help but sigh in his heart, and then he looked at Xiao Xuan, who was obediently held in his arms and motionless, with a look of pity and surprise on his face.

"I really don't know what kind of rare spirit beast Xiao Xuan is, not only can resist the strange effects of the dark river, but also catch the fish in the river. No wonder Xiao Xuan looks so tired after catching fish twice a day, it's so hard for me. ”

Gently stroking Xiao Xuan's head in his arms, Mu Yang's heart no longer regarded Xiao Xuan as a cat at this moment, but as a sister who needed his own care and love.

Holding Xiao Xuan, who had an injury on his right front paw, he was reluctant to put it down, Mu Yang stood two meters away from the river bank, he didn't dare to look at the dark river again, and he didn't dare to let himself get a drop of dark river water again, he kicked his feet and jumped to the other side of the river with great force.

"Xiao Xuan, where are we going next?" Mu Yang lowered his head and asked Xiao Xuan gently.

Xiao Xuan, who was lying comfortably in Mu Yang's arms, squinted her big eyes, stretched out her front paws and pointed forward, and Mu Yang walked forward without hesitation.

Just a few steps away, about ten meters away from the bank of the river, Muyang seemed to collide with an invisible barrier, and he could no longer take a step forward.

"Why can't I go forward, there's something stopping me here, Xiaoxuan, what should we do now?"

After trying several times, Mu Yang found that the invisible barrier in front of him was extremely strong, no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't move forward, and now he couldn't take a step forward, even if he moved in half a minute.

At this time, Xiao Xuan stood up in Muyang's arms and jumped down, and in Muyang's extremely surprised eyes, it walked in without hindrance, blocking Muyang from the invisible barrier that could not be entered.

"Alas?!! Xiaoxuan, how did you do it? Why doesn't this invisible barrier stop you in the slightest? ”

Mu Yang couldn't understand the scene in front of him at all, he rubbed his eyes in disbelief, but saw Xiao Xuan walk forward for a distance, then turned around and kept shouting at Mu Yang.

"No, Xiaoxuan, I really can't get in. ”

Pushing with his hands, hitting with his shoulders, and even kicking with his feet, Mu Yang tried almost all kinds of methods, but he still couldn't break through this invisible barrier that was invisible to the naked eye and blocked in front of him like an iron wall.

"Woohoo, woohoo. ”

Xiao Xuan stood there and made some strange movements towards Mu Yang, first pointing at herself, then standing up and making movements that seemed to emanate from her body.

Finding that Mu Yang still had a puzzled expression, Xiao Xuan tilted her head weakly, and then made cute and cute movements, but in general, they all ended with divergent actions.

"Are you asking me to use my soul power to touch the barrier, but there's a strange binding force here, so I can't use my soul power at all, wait! ”

After Xiao Xuan almost rolled his eyes in disgust, Mu Yang finally reacted, and after mobilizing the vitality in his body to cover his whole body, he tried to slowly stretch out his hand.

"Hey, there's really no stopping power. ”

From the hand to the forearm, and then to the entire arm, Mu Yang's hand wrapped in Jiuyang's vitality stretched out without hindrance, and he didn't feel a trace of impassable obstruction from the original.

"Although I don't know exactly why this is, but I've already come here, and when I see what Xiao Xuan wants me to see, I guess I will understand. Whatever!"

Although all kinds of strange phenomena surprised Mu Yang, based on his deeper trust in Xiao Xuan, Mu Yang did not hesitate any longer, and soon his entire body passed through this invisible barrier.

"Buzz!"

When Mu Yang's whole person came over, a strange fluctuation suddenly appeared, and suddenly, Mu Yang felt that his whole body seemed to be added to a heavy burden in an instant, and his whole body sank violently.

That sudden weird feeling made Muyang subconsciously retreat, and as a result, something happened that made him even more panicked.

The invisible barrier that had stopped him had reappeared, but this time it was not blocking his progress, but it appeared behind him, blocking his steps from going out.

"Damn, what's the situation? Even if you wrap yourself with vitality, you can't get out, Xiaoxuan, what's going on?"

He shouted at Xiao Xuan in a panic, but found that Xiao Xuan was still facing him and standing in his original position, and it raised its left front paw and kept pointing to its left.

Mu Yang calmed down and looked carefully, and found that there seemed to be a one-person-high cave on the rock wall to the left of Xiao Xuan.

"Does Xiao Xuan want me to walk to the entrance of the cave?"

Mu Yang thought about it, but he couldn't get out anyway, so he went there to take a look, so he cautiously walked forward.

However, every time he took a step, he felt that the weight on his body was increasing, and he had to mobilize more energy to resist.

Three-step, four-step, five-step......

Mu Yang walked slower and slower, and sweat from exhaustion began to appear on his body, and his face became a little hideous because of clenched teeth.

Finally, when he walked to the position away from Xiao Xuan, there were still about twenty steps left, and the vitality of Muyang's whole body was almost exhausted.

He fell to his knees with weak legs, his hands propped up on the ground, panting violently like a bellows, and the sweat kept dripping down, and he had no strength to move.

"Whew. ”

Seeing that Muyang couldn't support it, Xiao Xuan hurriedly ran up, opened her mouth and bit Muyang's clothes, and dragged him back with all her might, and the pressure was reduced by one point with each step back, and when the original barrier was located, the pressure returned to a state that could be borne at will.
