Chapter 373: Leaving the Yin River

Previous Chapter

"Young man!" the shadow called softly, Chai Shien stopped what he was doing, turned his head to look, just this glance, he was stunned! At this moment, the shadow was faint and did not distinguish carefully, and even his outline could not be seen clearly. Chai Shien looked at the heart in his hand, and then at the Broken Sea Sword, and suddenly understood!

"Why are you helping me, helping us?" Chai Shien wanted to reach out to hold the shadow, but he couldn't touch anything. The shadow's voice was already faint, "I, when I was alive, was also a member of the Demon Realm. At that time, the Demon Realm had just experienced a great war, and was suppressed in darkness by the Divine Realm, living a life that was worse than death. We hesitate, we fear, we struggle, we are unwilling. But it was all in vain, and everyone regarded us as heinous devils, and no one was willing to help us, let alone have mercy on us!"

Chai Shien had heard this unbearable past from Nai Chongguang and Nai Qu more than once, but when he saw the tragic situation when the divine fire fell from the sky with his own eyes, he knew what it meant to empathize.

"I couldn't bear to live like that, so I tried my best to escape from the demon world and became a coward that everyone spurned. The shadow's voice became deeper and deeper, "I thought I would be happy to leave the Demon Realm and live away from the darkness." But it soon became clear that I was not happy, not at all. I thought of my companions who were still struggling in the dark, and many times I wanted to do something for them, but I didn't have the courage to go back to that place!"

"I can understand," said Chai Shien, "that you are not to blame, if it were me, maybe I would have done the same." Shadow shook her head slightly, "No, you're different. You are willing to cross the Yin River for them, to the divine realm that has no emotion and no humanity, just rush to this point, I am willing to surrender my heart and let you save your companions!"

Chai Shien's heart was moved, "But we may have another way." Shadow shook his head again and handed the adamantium mushroom to Chai Shien, "Promise me that you must help them, thank you!"

At the last moment, after the shadow said this to Chai Shien with all his strength, he disappeared completely. The heart in Chai Shien's hand was slowly withering, and finally turned into a handful of dust, drifting away with the wind.

"Don't worry, I'll do it!" Chai Shien said to the shadow in a low heart. Although they hadn't known each other for a long time, Chai Shien didn't know his name and surname, and he didn't even know what he looked like, but he helped Chai Shien twice, and Chai Shien couldn't think of how to repay him except for protecting the subjects of the Demon Realm for him.

"He, who is he?" Yan Yan also guessed when she saw the disappearance of the shadow and the sadness on Chai Shien's face, "He helped us, but I didn't even have time to say thank you." Chai Shien slashed the last few stumps with the sea, and said to Yan Yan, "You have heard his words, and to be able to find the whereabouts of the fragments is the best thank you to him." We just found a vajra mushroom that we can cross the river after eating it, but there is only one mushroom, what should we do?"

"Naturally, you ate it!" Yan Yan looked at the weak, small, and untasty vajra mushroom in Chai Shien's hand, and said to him, "Although this Yin River is powerful, it may not be able to hurt me, let's try it!"

Chai Shien thought for a moment, nodded at her, and put the adamantium mushroom in his mouth. After chewing it slightly, I swallowed it.

Truth be told, adamantiumb mushrooms don't taste very good. There is some sourness in the bitterness, and after eating, the mouth is a little numb, as if it is swollen. Chai Shien pointed to his lips and asked Yan Yan, "Is my mouth already swollen?"

"No, it's just, it's just a little ......" Yan Yan wanted to comfort him, but couldn't help laughing. At this moment, Chai Shien's two lips were two or three times thicker than usual, and it seemed that only this mouth was the most prominent on the whole face. Chai Shien said worriedly, "I don't know if this adamantium mushroom is eaten like this, and whether it will be poisoned after eating." Yan Yan said, "No matter how much, cross the river first!"

They stood on the edge of the Yin River again, and out of caution, Chai Shien gently stretched out one foot and stepped into the water. As soon as there is any discomfort or pain, he will immediately retract the call.

The river was muddy, and he didn't know how deep it was, and Chai Shien soon realized that the river had barely reached the bottom of his feet. The expected tingling and discomfort didn't show up, and Chai Shien let out a long sigh of relief. But he also remembered that the shadow had told him that the effect of the adamantium mushroom was only temporary. The river is wide, and he needs to pass quickly before the adamantium mushroom fails!

"I'll go first!" Chai Shien said to Yan Yan with some "ruthlessness", and then stretched out his arms, stabilized his body, lifted his breath, and walked quickly through the river. At this time, Chai Shien realized that there seemed to be an invisible stone bridge under his feet to support him, and the water of the Yin River could only reach his instep, as for how deep it was, he didn't care, let alone try it!

"No conscience!" Yan Yan muttered, and also followed Chai Shien's example to test the river with her feet, and after confirming that the river water would not cause harm to her, she quickly chased after her!

After a cup of tea, Yin He had been left far behind them. Chai Shien's mind could not be calmed for a long time. He will not forget Yin He, he will not forget the things that besieged Yan Yan, and he will not forget the shadow that helped him but did not leave his life!

"You don't look like you're happy. Yan Yan said, "Is it for the shadow?" Chai Shien nodded. Yan Yan said, "Everyone who appears in this world is not in vain. Even if they are as humble as ants, they have a meaning to exist. Just like that shadow, maybe he didn't do anything earth-shattering when he was alive, or even just finished doing nothing. But after he died, he helped us, which is equivalent to helping the entire demon world, and in my opinion, this is the meaning of his existence. And I believe that he should be happy to have done this and fulfilled one of his wishes!"

Chai Shien would rather believe that what Yan Yan said was true, at least to reassure herself. By this time, he could already see the colorful world in front of him. Yan Yan reminded him, "We are almost there, and I will pass through the black hole first in a while and find a way to lure your master away." However, it really takes a lot of effort to make him not suspicious. You act when you see the opportunity, remember, after you arrive at the Divine Realm, not only can you not let your master be aware of your existence, but also other people!"
