Chapter 102: The Shadow
Pregnant Joe frolicked enough in the water, and swam like a fish.
The water-repellent beads emit a faint blue light, forming a barrier on the surface of Pregnant Qiao's body, insulating the water vapor.
Pregnant Joe swung her body and dived deep underwater. The deeper she dived, the dimmer the light around her. She didn't know how long she had been diving, but she felt as if she had fallen into darkness, and there was no light around her, but she still hadn't dived underwater.
Unexpectedly, this boundless water was not only a stream of sourceless water that flew down from the nine heavens, but also a bottomless abyss that led to no one.
What puzzled Pregnant Qiao was that there was not even half a plankton in this endless water.
Pregnant Jo looked back, and the waterfall behind her had turned into a faint point of light. She wanted to turn around and swim back, but as if an unknown force was calling her from the depths of the water, she dived underwater.
It was as if it was a deep sigh, transcending time and space, from the end of ancient times, floating straight into Pregnant Qiao's mind.
"There are beautiful women in the southern country, and the light green waist dances ......"
The voice sang softly, ethereal and tactful, as refreshing as a yellow warbler out of the valley. Pregnant Qiao looked underwater, and saw a white shadow floating at the bottom of the water, dancing slowly.
The white figure had a chaotic face and no face, but when I saw her flowing green silk flying away, the water sleeves of the white dress were flicked lightly. The body is light and graceful, and the waist is soft and boneless, like a woman.
"The feast is in the autumn twilight, and the flying coat is blowing.
It is as graceful as a dragon and as graceful as a dragon.
The more Yan strikes the front stream, Wu Ji stops white.
The slow state cannot be poor, and the complex posture is curved to the end.
The low lotus breaks the waves, and the messy snow lingers in the wind.
When the fall flows, the repair wants to go back to the void.
I can't catch it, so I fly to chase the ......"
Accompanied by a chant, the woman in white in the water opened and closed with wide sleeves, like colorful clouds in the sky. Her dancing posture is sometimes like a goddess flying into the sky, sometimes like a dragon swimming into the sea, light and handsome, fluttering like a fairy, which makes pregnant Qiao intoxicated.
The voice of the woman in the water seems to have a breathtaking charm, which makes Pregnant Qiao almost forget to breathe. She reached out and tried to touch the woman in the water, but she couldn't.
Pregnant Qiao involuntarily followed the woman in the water and sank to the bottom.
Suddenly, the fairy music in her mind stopped, and the woman in white dancing in the water was gone. Between heaven and earth, it seemed that only she was left, and the boundless darkness around her.
Pregnant Jo was a little flustered, she swam violently, she didn't want to fall into this endless dark abyss!
From the darkness beneath her feet, a pitch-black hand reached out and grabbed Pregnant Joe's ankle.
Pregnant Qiao's figure froze, and she looked down sharply, only to see countless slender black arms stretching out from the abyss under her feet, waving and grabbing her.
One black arm after another clinged to her, wrapping her around and dragging her into the bottomless abyss......
"Ahh
Pregnant Joo screamed and opened her eyes suddenly.
Her eyes were white, her ears were full of water, and she was still lying in the waterfall, but before she knew it, she was asleep.
Liuyun, who was not far away, heard the screams of Pregnant Qiao and hurried over. Amber eyes stared at Pregnant Joe, and then turned sharply, her cheeks and ears flushed.
"Lord...... You...... Are you alright?" Liuyun felt his tongue knotted a little.
"I'm fine!"
She settled down and didn't notice any abnormalities in Liuyun.
Was it just a dream? How could it feel so real? Although she was a little suspicious in her heart, she didn't dare to dive under the water to check it out at this time.
Pregnant Qiao got up from the water, hurriedly changed into clean clothes, tied her hair on the top of her head, inserted a cloud hairpin, and jumped onto Liuyun's back.
"Let's go!"
Liuyun didn't say a word, spread his wings and flew towards the mist. The flush on his face had not faded, but fortunately she couldn't see his expression at this time.
Pregnant Qiao didn't dare to hold it up this time, so she directly stuffed a transformation grass in her mouth and Liuyun's mouth, and held the afterimage in her hand.
The speed of the flowing clouds was very fast, and finally within the time of two incense sticks, they walked out of the range of Haoyu's activities, far away from the boundary of the boundless water. Although there are still some fog rats around, they are no longer a threat to them.
Liuyun carried Pregnant Qiao in the mist for a few days, but Yunjian Immortal City was a hundred thousand miles away, and even if they hurried day and night, it would take more than a month to arrive.
Along the way, they found no trace of the Chaos Stone Beast, nor did they catch up with the people of the Ten Thousand Souls Chamber of Commerce.
The Transformation Pill and the Transformation Grass have been used up, and Pregnant Qiao can't help but feel depressed in her heart, she knew that it was so dangerous in the mist, it was better to take advantage of the chaos to hide in the Chaos City, anyway, the Chaos Stone Beast was also heading in the direction of Yunjian Immortal City, just along the way.
Pregnant Qiao sighed softly, not far in front of him was the ancient town of Heishui, they were going to stop there for a while, and have a good rest.
The closer she got to the ancient town of Heishui, the more she felt that something was not quite right.
Ahead, the gray mist faded, and a towering archway appeared in front of them.
The color of this archway is black, the cloud pier on the right side has been broken, and the whole archway is slightly inclined to the right. A golden plaque hangs on the top of the archway, engraved with the four big characters of "Heishui Ancient Town". The plaque is skewed and looks crumbling.
It seems that this is the ancient town of Heishui, but for some reason, the surroundings are lifeless, and there is not even a trace of life.
They walked to the archway, but next to the golden handwriting of the plaque, there was a large pool of dark red blood, and the color of the blood stain was still very bright, it should have just been splashed on it not long ago.
With a solemn expression, she cautiously walked towards the ancient town.
The moment she stepped into the ancient town of Blackwater, she understood why she was so uneasy, it was obvious that she had just experienced a catastrophe. Most of the houses in this ancient town have collapsed, and they have been changed beyond recognition and are dilapidated, with dark red blood splattered everywhere.
In the air, there was a faint smell of blood. But to Pregnant Joe's surprise, she didn't see a single body.
"Master, it's weird here!" Liuyun's expression was a little nervous, and he followed closely behind Pregnant Qiao.
Pregnant Qiao nodded, holding the afterimage in her hand.
As they walked on for a while, she paused. Directly in front of them, a small tower appeared, and the ground around the small tower was flashing with bursts of dark red blood.
