Chapter 98: Waiting for an Opportunity

Finally came to the Shadow Pool, and the thought of returning to the Yang Realm Ruan Jiu was both excited and apprehensive.

Of course, she still hasn't forgotten the little boy's words. Since the pool here can travel through the two worlds of yin and yang, its importance can be imagined.

As for what kind of yin general he said, he knew that it would definitely not be easy to mess with when he heard the name. Now that he doesn't have any mana, it's definitely impossible to break through.

"Looks like we'll have to find a way to sneak in. ”

Thinking about it, Ruan Jiu glanced in the direction of the shadow pool, and found that there were two ghosts with spears standing on the left and right next to the stone monument in front of the pool. Both were dressed in gray armor and wore heavy metal horned hats on top of their heads.

Judging from the equipment on these two people, it should not be the yin general that the little boy said. But even if there are only the two of them, it is not something that Ruan Jiu can deal with now.

Out of concern for his own safety, Ruan Jiu decided to go around to the back of the Shadow Pool for the time being to see if he could enter the pool from other places.

Just do what he said, so with the help of the surrounding vegetation, Ruan Jiu cautiously approached from the periphery to the interior. Stay out of the sight of the two guards as much as possible.

Fortunately, the area of this city is not very large, and it didn't take long for Ruan Jiu to come to the back of the Shadow Pool. Luckily, there are no other fences around the pool, which means that if you can jump into the pool at the right time, you can go straight back to the sun.

About five or six meters away from the edge of the pool, Ruan Jiu hid behind the trunk of a tree. From her direction, she could see the two guards standing in front of the pool. However, at this time, they all turned their backs to Ruan Jiu, and even if they turned around, they might not necessarily find a person hiding behind the trunk.

Ruan Jiu took a deep breath and tried to keep his breath at an extremely low frequency. Although she didn't know if the ghost had breath or not......

According to the little boy, the passage to the Shadow Pool is only opened every three hours, and lasts for one stick of incense at a time. Looking at the calm water in the pool, Ruan Jiu couldn't help frowning slightly.

Three hours, that's six hours.

If the passage of the Shadow Pool had just opened, wouldn't that mean that he would have to wait here for half a day?

As soon as he thought of this possibility, Ruan Jiu felt irritable in his heart. But it can't be helped, who let themselves not have any mana now.

Then again, other youkai should have mana even if their souls are separated. How did you change when you came to yourself?

The more I thought about it, the more depressed I felt, and in the end, Ruan Jiu simply closed his eyes and didn't think about these troublesome things.

I don't know how long it has been. Just when Ruan Jiu felt that he was about to suffocate himself, a slight buzzing sound suddenly sounded in the shadow pool in front of him.

Ruan Jiu's eyes lit up, and the nerves in his whole body tensed.

As the humming sound grew louder, the otherwise calm water in the pool suddenly began to rotate counterclockwise. Soon, a huge whirlpool appeared in the middle of the pool.

Ruan Jiu's eyes widened, and from her angle, she could just see the whole picture of the entire Descendant Shadow Pool. It is no exaggeration to say that this whirlpool occupies almost the entire pool. As the water became faster and faster, strange effects similar to lightning began to appear on the top of the Shadow Pool.

"The passage is open!"

Ruan Jiu was secretly surprised in his heart. As long as you are not a fool, you can think that the passage connecting yin and yang is opening. It seems that the little boy did not lie to himself. You can really go back to the yang world here!

Holding back the excitement in his heart, Ruan Jiu glanced at the two guards in front of the stone monument again.

Luckily, the two guys didn't seem to have any interest in the pool behind them. Or rather, they have long been accustomed to such a phenomenon. So even when the yin and yang channel was opened, they never looked back.

This is undoubtedly a very beneficial thing for Ruan Jiu. Since there is only one stick of incense for the channel to open, there is only one chance to successfully pass through.

As for where the end of the passage was, Ruan Jiu didn't know. But for her, if she wants to return to the yang world, the shadow pool in front of her is her only way out.

Thinking of this, Ruan Jiu no longer hesitated. Taking advantage of the fact that the two guards had their backs to him, he gritted his teeth and rushed directly towards the Shadow Pool.

According to Ruan Jiu's estimate, the distance between himself and the pool was only four or five meters, and it would only be a matter of a moment to sprint as hard as he could. In such a short period of time, even if the two guys in front of them discovered the anomaly, they would have already jumped into the whirlpool by the time they arrived.

With excitement, Ruan Jiu jumped directly into the tumbling whirlpool in the pool.

However, just as her body was about to touch the edge of the pool, her forehead suddenly slammed against a hard object. This was followed by a huge backlash.

Before Ruan Jiu could react to what had happened, the whole person was like a kite with a broken string, flying straight backwards.

"It hurts!"

The sky swirled, and Ruan Jiu landed heavily on the hard bluestone ground. This time I almost knocked her out directly. There was a burning pain in his forehead.

finally came to his senses, and Ruan Jiu found out. At some point, a translucent energy shield rose around the Shadow Pool.

Ruan Jiu was stunned for a moment, and then secretly cursed in his heart.

She should have thought of it a long time ago, how could there be only two guards watching such an important place? As soon as someone approaches, the enchantment activates immediately. In this way, the behavior of someone sneaking into the shadow pool is completely eliminated.

"Who?"

There was such a big commotion here, and the two guards on the opposite side finally noticed it. The two of them were armed with spears and rushed towards Ruan Jiu's side at a high speed.

Ruan Jiu finally got up from the ground, and when he saw this situation, he hurriedly wanted to run out. However, the two guards were extremely fast, and they came to Ruan Jiu's side in the blink of an eye.

Without waiting for Ruan Jiu to explain, one of them directly raised the spear in his hand and stabbed it towards Ruan Jiu's heart.

"I'll go!"

Ruan Jiu's face changed, and he rolled forward on the spot. The spear almost grazed the bluestone bricks that pierced into the ground with the tip of her nose.

"Poof!"

With a piercing sound of metal impact, Ruan Jiu only felt a roar in his ears, and he was almost deafened directly.

The guard saw that his blow missed, and directly backhanded another shot.

Ruan Jiu was so depressed in his heart that he didn't know what words to use to describe his mood. However, in order to save her life, she had to continue rolling outward.

Although the action is a little indecent, the effect is very good.

The guard stabbed three or four times in a row, but he didn't hit once.
