Overall, the stream looks extremely clear.
Only when you look closer can you see the tiny colored lights glowing in the water.
It's as if someone has ground up colored crystals and sprinkled them into it. The brilliance is brilliant and gorgeous!
Compared with the scene just now, they are two completely different worlds.
Chu Liuyue glanced sideways at Tuanzi.
Tuanzi stretched out his paw and pointed forward again, looking at her eagerly.
"You want us to go up the stream?"
Chu Liuyue asked tentatively.
Tuanzi nodded wildly.
Chu Liuyue turned her head and looked upstream of the stream.
The stream was very narrow, and Chu Liuyue could cross it by taking one step forward.
It seems to be flowing from the depths of the woods, going in one direction.
Chu Liuyue looked along the water flow and narrowed her eyes.
The source of this stream seems to be...
Roar!
A shocking roar came!
Deafening!
Compared with the several sounds I heard just now, this one was obviously much clearer.
In other words - they are closer to the ninth-grade monster that is about to break through!
And this sound also convinced Chu Liuyue that the stream was indeed flowing from the direction of the monster!
Even the colors in the stream are related to the monster!
Chu Liuyue thought for a moment, then raised her feet and walked forward.
Qiang Wanzhou and others immediately followed silently.
It seemed that Chu Liuyue had become the leader among them without even realizing it.
It seems that with her here, all problems will be solved.
There is always a kind of person in this world who can become the most dazzling and important existence no matter where he is.
Chu Liuyue is exactly such a person.
Although there were many dangers here, they still followed her forward unconsciously.
Several people walked along the stream and gradually entered deeper into the woods.
The further in, the flow of the stream becomes larger, and the brilliant colored light glowing in it becomes more intense.
Gradually, the color of the stream also changed.
As Chu Liuyue walked, she looked at the stream and thought to herself.
The power contained in this stream became more and more abundant, making her more and more curious about what was in the upper reaches of the stream.
But along the way, the surroundings were still quiet.
Listening carefully, there were only the creaking sounds of the few of them walking through the forest, the sound of leaves fluttering, and the sound of gurgling water.
Apart from that, there was no other movement.
"Didn't Vice General Mu say before that there are many high-level magical beasts here? Why haven't we seen any of them after we've been here for so long?"
The fear in Ye Ranran's heart had gradually dissipated, and she couldn't help but asked curiously.
"Don't say it's a high-level monster, I don't even see the shadow of a low-level monster."
In fact, Chu Liuyue also felt strange about this.
When I came to the Phantom Mist Forest before, there were indeed all kinds of magical beasts here.
Even in the miasma-filled evenings and nights, rustling sounds are often heard.
That was the monster moving back and forth.
But now, this place is indeed too quiet.
Even if it is really because of the pressure of the ninth-grade magic beast that many magic beasts are avoiding, it seems that it should not be in this state.
To put it bluntly and harshly, it is dead silence.
There is no life in this place.
—Except for that stream.
But in the stream, except for the increasingly rich colors, there is nothing else.
"Maybe it will be there if we take a walk."
Chu Liuyue said.
When ordinary high-level monsters break through, they will indeed generate great pressure, causing lower-level monsters within the radius to feel a fatal threat and retreat.
However, it is different when the ninth-grade monster tries to break through the divine beast.
Even though the pressure is terrifying, the bloodline aura of the divine beast has a natural attraction to other monsters.
The concept of hierarchy engraved in their bones makes them full of reverence and admiration for mythical beasts.
This will drive them to endure the astonishing pressure and go to worship the mythical beast.
The ninth-grade monsters made such a big noise, so it stands to reason that there should be many monsters there.
Ye Ranran nodded seriously.
After some time, Chu Liuyue noticed that the surrounding space seemed to have become thicker.
Every step forward consumes more strength than before.
It was as if an extremely heavy mountain was pressing down on his body, making him almost breathless.
Chu Liuyue frowned slightly.
This should be caused by the pressure of the ninth-grade monster!
After walking so strenuously for a while, Chu Liuyue's back was already wet with sweat.
She took a deep breath and finally stopped.
"Let's rest for a while."
Mu Hongyu Ye Ranran seemed to have received amnesty and quickly found a place to sit down and rest.
Chu Liuyue was also sitting cross-legged next to her.
Qiang Wanzhou stood beside her, standing upright.
Chu Liuyue waved to him:
"Xiaozhou, you should also sit down and rest."
From this angle, you can just see his slightly white lips.
It can be seen that this run was not easy for him.
Qiang Wanzhou's voice was as cold as ever.
"I'll just stand."
If you encounter any danger, it is easier to move while standing than sitting.
This is what he did when he followed that man before.
Chu Liuyue didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Of course she knew what Qiang Wanzhou was thinking.
"Xiaozhou, don't worry too much. This area should already be the territory of that ninth-level monster. Except for itself, anyone else who comes here will be the same as us now. There won't be much danger. Besides, it’s time for you to take a break.”
Qiang Wanzhou was very stubborn.
He shook his head, his thin lips pursed tightly, and his forehead was covered with sweat. It flowed along his jade-like face, down his neck, and finally disappeared into the gray coarse linen clothes.
At this time, he was obviously not having a good time either.
Chu Liuyue sighed softly and said:
"Xiao Zhou, in fact, the January period has already arrived. You are no longer my follower. There is no need to be like this anymore."
Qiang Wanzhou suddenly trembled and looked at her, a trace of panic flashing in his eyes.
"You don't want me anymore?"
Chu Liuyue was stunned.
Where is this, where is this
"No, don't get me wrong, I just think that the contract between us has ended, so you don't have to ask yourself as a follower anymore. In fact, you are also my junior brother now, right?"
When Chu Liuyue said this, the corners of her lips raised slightly, and there seemed to be bright stars in her eyes.
Qiang Wanzhou breathed a sigh of relief.
"Need not."
After saying that, he seemed to be afraid that Chu Liuyue would misunderstand, and then said:
"I think this is good."
He was used to this kind of life and didn't want to make any changes.
Seeing how stubborn he was, Chu Liuyue knew that it was useless to persuade him, so she simply gave up.
Anyway, this kid always has a bunch of weird persistence
It's not bad to treat him as a junior brother and just follow him.
Just as Chu Liuyue was thinking about it, a sound that broke through the air suddenly came from her ears!
A cold air came towards her neck!
Her heart suddenly lifted!
Danger!
