Chapter 176: Counting is Counting
Looking at Ran Qingchen's choice without hesitation, Jin Baiyu's eyes flashed, and there was not the slightest surprise in his heart.
But what's next?
Jin Baiyu weighed in her heart, whether to pretend to have a small accident, the two separated, and no longer stay with this accident that would go wrong at any time, or did she continue to follow Ran Qingchen and see what he was thinking?
Before a decision was made for a while, the rope between them had come to an end, and Ran Qingchen found that she hadn't followed, so she turned back suspiciously again.
"Bai Yu, have you found anything?"
"No......" Jin Baiyu replied as usual, her eyes were as blank as a blind man in the fog, "I just thought of my apprentices, and I was a little worried." β
Ran Qingchen was not suspicious, and comforted softly: "Aren't we just going to find them, don't worry, Bai Yu, your two apprentices have good cultivation and extraordinary abilities, and they will definitely be fine." β
"I'll lend you good luck." Jin Baiyu sighed lightly, this sentence was sincere.
After walking for about a quarter of an hour, and still not encountering anyone or other animals, Jin Baiyu proposed to go back as originally planned.
Then, as expected, they walked along the road they had traveled before for more than half an hour, and did not find any trace of the disciples.
It's hard to tell in the jungle, and the fog can absorb sound, so it's even more difficult to find someone in this environment.
Jin Baiyu tried to search for a long time, but to no avail.
During this period, Ran Qingchen always stayed by her side, without any complaints, until she saw that she was tired, and then softly persuaded her to rest for a while before looking for it.
"Or maybe they went looking for us when they saw that we had not returned for a long time, and that they had rested again?"
Jin Baiyu had a calm face and shook his head: "Impossible, the Immortal Sect has always had strict rules, since I ordered them to stay where they are, they will definitely stay there and wait for meβunless, something happens." β
She looked at Ran Qingchen.
Ran Qingchen frowned slightly, his face was full of sincere worry and thought.
"Maybe we're on a fork in the road? The fog is very strange, and the scenery in the forest is very common and similar everywhere, maybe we haven't returned to where we were. β
Jin Baiyu looked at him, as if he was considering his statement, and hummed meaninglessly, "Maybe, let's rest for a while first, and then continue to look for it after we have recovered our strength." β
She looked down, sat on the ground, leaned against a tree behind her, and sighed as if intentionally or unintentionally: "I don't know why, the longer I feel here, the more tired I become, and walking these roads on weekdays has no effect on me, but at this moment I feel weak, and I can't even lift my spirits." β
Ran Qingchen's eyes flashed, "Then you have a good rest, don't worry, I'm here for you." β
"Okay." Jin Baiyu nodded, smiled tiredly at Ran Qingchen with trust on his face, stretched out his slender fingers, and gently hooked his cuffs, "Qingchen, thank you, it's good to have you by my side......"
As she spoke, her voice grew weaker and weaker, and her eyes slowly closed.
After a short while, the sound of breathing becomes smooth during deep sleep.
Ran Qingchen looked at her quietly for a moment, lowered his eyes and looked at his sleeve that was pinched between her fingers, and a slight struggle flashed on his face.
But soon, this trivial struggle was replaced by more desires.
Ran Qingchen's eyes sank, he reached out and carefully pulled the cuffs out from between Jin Baiyu's fingers, carefully laying out a few formations beside her.
The formation isolated the surrounding sounds and breaths, and the expressions of the people in the formation looked more stable.
Ran Qingchen observed her, and after making sure that she would not wake up for a while, he got up, looked around, and flew away in one direction.
After his figure disappeared into the distance, Jin Baiyu in the formation opened his eyes, and there was no sleepiness in his eyes.
Jin Baiyu calmed down and called for Cha Cha in her consciousness for a while, since she found out that Cha Cha couldn't contact her, Jin Baiyu never gave up trying to restore the connection between them along the way.
It's just that it hasn't worked all the time.
It's the same at this time, the familiar and angry voice in the past has not sounded, Jin Baiyu frowned, and the irritability in her heart is getting stronger and stronger.
Just then, a faint voice rang out.
"The host ......"
Jin Baiyu's eyes widened: "Soft?!" This voice is her white and soft little milk voice!
But the voice didn't come from her consciousness, but ......
Jin Baiyu frowned, looked left and right suspiciously, and felt something move in the back of her neck.
Her face darkened, and she reached out, and sure enough, a small white flame was pulled out of her hair that was scattered behind her back.
"Squish, you've been in my hair?!"
If this is not careful, won't all her green hair be ruined!
With her bald appearance in her mind, Jin Baiyu shuddered, which made her tremble even more than when she found out that something was wrong with Ran Qingchen just now!
Xiao Huomiao pulled her fingers and said pitifully: "Master, there is no way to be soft, this fog array is very strange, it can isolate the divine sense, if it weren't for Cha Cha and I desperately let me go out at the last moment, I'm afraid that now I am also like Cha Cha, sealed in your body and unable to contact you." β
Jin Baiyu hurriedly asked, "Did Cha Cha tell you anything when you came out?" β
"Yes! Cha Cha let me tell you, run! Non-stop running! This fog array is a trap deliberately aimed at us!! β
This was of course a deliberate trap for them, and everyone understood it before they came in.
Jin Baiyu frowned, Xindao Chacha was really unreliable, and he only brought out such a nonsense at such an important juncture......
Wait a minute.
A flash of inspiration flashed in her mind, and a thought flashed suddenly: "Soft, is this the original words of Cha Cha?" Word for word? β
Little Flame nodded his little head: "That's what it says...... And ......"
The little guy shook the tip of the flame, as if he was a little suspicious, "Since I came out, I have been looking for an opportunity to tell my master the news, but the person next to you makes me feel very uncomfortable, and it is because of this strange feeling that I lurk in the back of my neck that is the least easy to be found by him." β
It was also because of this that it was not until after Ran Qingchen left that Xiao Huomiao came out to see Jin Baiyu.
Yin Fire is a holy thing that is born in 10,000 years, and it has attracted countless people to covet it since it was born, so it is quasi-scary in terms of intuition.
What was there about him that could make this 10,000-year-old holy relic feel uncomfortable?
Jin Baiyu pursed her lips, her eyes flashed, and she asked Xiao Huomiao: "Soft, do you understand the formation?" β
