As night fell, a bonfire lit in the glade.

The dry wood crackled, and the sparks scattered flew into the sky like fireflies, whirling in the wind, and disappeared again in a blink of an eye.

September poured firewood, Ze Huang watched quietly. The burning bonfire was like a moat, separating the two of them from each other, relatively silent.

'Zebara Tenjin~'

'Zehuang Heavenly God, are you back?'

'Zehuang Heavenly God, where have you gone?'

Looking at each other through the fire, Ze Huang's eyes suddenly passed by many memories of the past in September. However, for some reason, the face that had been deeply familiar in my memory for a long time has now become very unfamiliar.

After sitting for a long time, he finally broke the silence first and said softly: "Thank you for coming out of the valley to help me this time." ”

The hand holding the fire-pounding stick paused slightly, and September looked directly at the fire without expression, and replied coldly: "Chiyan is also my friend. ”

After a brief conversation, the two fell silent again. For a while, Zehuang really couldn't find the right words to break the deadlock.

After a period of hard thought, he decided to conjure up a step and pluck up the courage to speak his mind.

"September, actually, I..."

But at the same time, September also put down the long stick and grabbed Bai and said: "It's getting late, Zehuang Tianshen should rest early!"

"September~ There are some things I want to say to you..." It was not easy to make up his mind, and Ze Huang was unwilling to give up here.

It's a pity that when he wanted to solve the misunderstanding, September didn't want to hear it.

"I'm tired, let's talk about it later..."

Ze Huang retracted the step shake in his hand in frustration, and said softly: "Then you can rest first." ”

As the night deepened, heavy clouds covered the entire sky.

After a silent lightning bolt streaked across the sky, a drizzle of rain fell quietly from the sky.

Seeing that September was already asleep, Ze Huang sat down beside her lightly and covered her with a robe to cover the rain.

(b)

After a night of rain, the next day's sun was unusually bright.

At this time, most of the deep valley was shrouded in a layer of warm golden sun.

Taking advantage of the abundant light, Bai Hua entered the depths of the dense forest again and began to search for the location of the array eye.

At the end of both sides of the southwest, the way was blocked by a sinking pit. Facing up in the north, the road was closed by a cliff. Within ten miles of eastward travel, a strange fog will drift through the forest, and it is easy to get lost if you venture through the fog.

The situation in the south, northwest, and north directions of the deep valley, it took Bai Hua almost a month to sort it out. And the east side that made her most suspicious now began to be gradually explored after she returned from Yuelian Town.

The further east you go, the darker the forest becomes. Gradually, I saw a mist filling the forest.

The silence was eeri, and the dense forest in the fog was even deeper. The only thing that reverberated through the space was the crisp sound of stepping on dead leaves.

Less than a moment further, the thick fog that rose up had already blurred the surroundings. The cold wind swished through the forest, revealing a strong atmosphere of slaughter.

Bai Hua stopped and looked around, and muttered for a while, before secretly analyzing: The first two times, I thought it was because the deep valley was humid and filled with water vapor, so it caused the perennial fog to linger here. Today, it seems that the appearance of this fog is indeed a little strange.

In the fog, there is a white expanse in front of you. At this moment, there was a sudden squirming sound behind him.

"Who?!" Bai Hua hurriedly turned around and widened his eyes. However, the surrounding scene is hazy, and the shadows of the trees are vaguely discerning.

After a long time, no more noise was heard. Bai Hua couldn't help but take a long breath and adjust his tense mood.

"Xiaobai~"

Before he could calm down, an ethereal and familiar shout suddenly sounded in his ears.

Bai Hua was taken aback and asked in a loud voice, "Who?

"Xiaobai, come here, I'm here!"

In the mist, only the sound of it was heard, but no one was seen. But as the ethereal sound became clearer, the fog around it seemed to be gradually dissipating.

"Xiaobai, I'm here!"

Looking for the source of the sound, I saw a slender figure in pink clothes come into view. Before Bai Hua could recover from the shock, the woman in pink stepped forward and hugged her, and said with a smile: "Xiaobai, I can be regarded as finding you in September." ”

"Nine... Yue?" Bai Hua looked at the person in his arms and felt particularly surprised, "You... How did you find here?"

"It's not just me..."September let go of her, then pointed to the side, and said, "Zehuang Heavenly God, Yesha Heavenly God, they are here..."

Bai Hua looked confused, and looked in the direction of her finger again. Sure enough, I also saw Zehuang and Yesha.

September turned around and ran to Ze Huang's side, still with a smile on his face, and said to Bai Hua: "Look, we are all here." ”

As soon as the words fell, I saw Bihai, Cangxuan, and many disciples of the two sects also walked out of the fog one after another.

Bai Hua was overjoyed and shouted, "Great, everyone is here." It's wonderful..."

"Huh... Xiaobai, and me. ”

I don't know when, Chi Yan also quietly appeared beside him. Bai Hua didn't think much about it, he grabbed his arm sideways, and asked excitedly, "Chiyan, how did you find here?!"

When Chi Yan heard this, he looked puzzled, "Xiaobai, have you forgotten?"

"I?!" The smile on his face froze for a moment, Bai Hua let go of his hand in a daze, and then he felt that something was wrong and took a few steps back, and said intermittently: "I, how could I, I can't take you..."

Before she finished speaking, Chi Yan stepped forward and grabbed her in a few arrows, raised her lips and grabbed Bai and said, "Xiao Bai, the Netherworld has trapped Chihua in his body. Now, all you need to do is plunge this sword into his heart and destroy his primordial spirit. Chihua can be gone forever. ”

Before Bai Hua could refute, he felt that his hand suddenly sank. When he looked down, he saw that he was holding a seven-foot long sword with a ghostly light in his hand.

"Xiaobai~" At this time, I saw the dark underworld standing in front of him in a plain white robe.

Why, this dress is the same as what I saw in my previous dreams!

Bai Hua's face changed, and he hurriedly threw away the long sword in his hand, and said speechlessly: "No, all this is a dream, it's not true." ”

Netherworld grabbed Bai Hua with a faint smile, handed the sword to her hand again, and comforted: "Come on, don't hesitate, don't be afraid..."

Bai Hua opened the Netherworld vigorously, staggering backwards, while muttering, "Hallucination, this is not real..."

"Bai Hua, are you reluctant to do it?"

In the blink of an eye, the ink thread on the netherworld had turned silvery white, and the pair of deep pitch-black pupils gradually surfaced a scarlet blood.

"Hallucinations, hallucinations. ”

Bai Hua closed his eyes and tried to adjust his breathing. She kept babbling about the hallucinations, trying to prove that she had only fallen into a misty illusion.

"Xiaobai, do it quickly. ”

"Xiaobai, don't hesitate. ”

"Senior Brother Bai Hua, hurry, it's too late..."

Perhaps it can only be said that this illusion is too real. So much so that when he knew that this was an illusion, he was still forced to the brink of collapse by the urging voices that echoed in his ears.

Bai Hua covered his ears in pain, and roared hysterically, "Enough, don't say it anymore! Get out of the way!!"

A gust of wind struck, causing everything in front of them to begin to distort, and those familiar people gradually turned into a blurred shadow, little by little into mist, and merged into the dense forest.

There was an instant silence, and Bai Hua didn't hear anything except for the sound of heavy breathing and the rustling of leaves in the wind.

She held on to the trunk of the tree until her pale face softened a little, then she slowly straightened up and decided to move on.

The fog thinned out at some point, and wisps of mild sunlight filtered in through the leaves.

After successfully passing through the deep dense forest, the eyes suddenly opened up.

There is a salty smell in the air, cliffs at the end of the road, and in the distance, the blue sea as far as the eye can see.

Soon after, a brief light flashed through the eastern sky.

.......................

Youruo leaned against the tassel tree, facing in the direction where the light had disappeared, and guessed, "Did you deliberately want her to ventilate the mist array?"

Chihua lowered his eyes and looked at the Soul Slayer Sword in his hand, and said in a light tone: "It's too troublesome to solve them one by one, it's better to let them die by themselves." ”

Yu Ruo thought to himself for a moment and asked, "Do I want to wake up the puppet soldiers first and prepare in advance?"

Chihua raised his eyebrows, and in a half-joking tone, he asked, "Why are you so flustered?"

Yu Ruo's eyes flickered, and he hurriedly retorted: "Naturally, I didn't panic, but... Just in case. ”

Chihua sneered coldly, "Heh... Just in case?"

This sneer not only carries a sense of irony, but also hides some obscure emotions.

Youruo's expression changed, and he explained: "Chihua, I didn't mean that, I was just worried..."

"There's nothing to worry about!" Chihua pulled away the smile from the corner of his mouth, looked sideways at her, and ordered, "Let the tooth come back." ”

Youruo blinked in confusion and cautiously asked, "Did you think of any plan?"

Chihua hooked his lips and raised the Soul Exterminating Sword in his hand. A cold light reflected off the blade on his face, making his smile even more gloomy.

"With his word, he will return his body..."
