All around was darkness.
The dark and cramped space was filled with a strong smell of rot and blood, and it seemed that even the surrounding airflow had become viscous.
Tuanzi suddenly raised its wings!
A red flame flew out in an instant, like a meteor streaking across the night sky, leaving a clear and bright line, and finally disappeared into an abyss below.
With the guidance of this flame, it was much easier for everyone to move forward.
Lei Laosi, who was at the front, flew straight down.
Chu Liuyue followed closely behind.
The people behind also followed suit.
"Brother Lei, have you been here before?"
Chu Liuyue asked in a low voice while falling.
Lei Laosi nodded:
"There was one time, but that was a long time ago."
At that time, they had just arrived in the Phantom Mist Forest and were not very familiar with everything here, so they accidentally got into this trouble.
Later, it was with the help of his elder brother that he got out of this hellish place.
Since then, the two of them have basically been staying next to the mother tree, guarding the Nine-Colored Pheasant.
Naturally, I have never encountered such a thing again.
Occasionally, people broke in from outside, but they were stopped at the outside.
Chu Liuyue and his party were the only people who entered the depths of the Phantom Mist Forest in more than a year.
“I don’t know if it’s still the same down here as before.”
Lei Laosi muttered.
Chu Liuyue's heart moved and she asked again:
"By the way, Brother Lei, I heard that the miasma in the fantasy forest is actually white. Why did we encounter red this time when we came here?"
Moreover, it is also mixed with fishy and sweet blood, which makes people very uncomfortable.
Lei Laosi frowned.
"Let's talk about this. Actually, my eldest brother and I don't know exactly what's going on. When we first came here, the miasma was indeed white. We didn't go out for a long time. When we saw it again, , it was already red. But at that time, the color was relatively light, and then it gradually became darker, until it looks like this now."
He was curious at first, but his elder brother kept saying not to pay too much attention.
Their only purpose here is to guard the Nine-Colored Pheasant.
Lei Laosi always obeyed Qin Yi's advice, and because of his careless temper, he really didn't ask any more questions.
Chu Liuyue fell into deep thought.
According to Lei Laosi's words, it was most likely that the Phantom Mist Forest began to change after they arrived here.
And the time they came here.
Chu Liuyue speculated that they came here after her accident.
In fact, it is very likely that they even brought the dumplings.
Thinking of this, Tuanzi suddenly glanced at her and turned his head.
Chu Liuyue was a little surprised.
Tuanzi means that it was not brought by Qin and Yi
So where did it come from
Chu Liuyue asked Tuanzi seriously again:
"Tuanzi, did you come here by yourself?"
Tuanzi shook his head again.
Chu Liuyue narrowed her eyes, but saw a trace of confusion in Tuanzi's eyes.
In fact, even it itself doesn't know what happened to it.
Before Shangguan Yue set herself on fire, she forcibly terminated her contract with it.
This allowed it to survive.
Originally, it wanted to die together with Shangguan Wan and Jiang Yucheng to avenge her.
As a result, he fainted before he could do anything.
When it woke up again, its body had been left in the illusory mist forest, but its soul had been split into two.
Half of it remained in the physical body, and the other half entered a third-grade blood mink.
It has no idea what it went through in the middle.
These thoughts of Tuanzi were clearly conveyed to Chu Liuyue.
She thought for a long time and said nothing.
It seemed that someone helped her, but she didn't know who that person was.
Maybe we can ask Qin Yi and Lei Laosi something.
But now is not a good time.
"Look! There seems to be someone down there!"
Lei Laosi suddenly shouted.
Chu Liuyue immediately suppressed the many emotions in her heart and looked in the direction he pointed!
Sure enough, in that dim space, there seemed to be a vague figure!
Chu Liuyue's heart moved and she immediately sped up!
But as she gradually got closer, Chu Liuyue's eyebrows slowly frowned.
This person doesn’t seem to be Shangguan Wan!
She could recognize Shangguan Wan even if she turned into ashes.
As for the person below, although his appearance is invisible, his figure is definitely not that of Shangguan Wan!
However, Chu Liuyue only hesitated for a moment before continuing to rush downward!
Seeing that she had surpassed him, Lei Laosi hurriedly quickened his pace and rushed over.
There are so many things down here, how can His Highness be allowed to rush to the front!
But Lei Laosi was soon shocked to discover that Chu Liuyue's speed was no worse than his own!
In the space below, all practitioners will be suppressed to a certain extent.
But Chu Liuyue didn’t seem to have any at all.
Maybe it's because of the contract with Red Tail Danfeng
Lei Laosi didn't bother to ask any more questions, so he had to use full speed to keep up.
After a while, Chu Liuyue finally stopped.
Lei Laosi arrived almost at the same time.
Seeing that Chu Liuyue was about to walk towards that figure, he quickly said:
"Wait! Danger!"
Chu Liuyue shook her head.
"Don't worry, this person is dead."
Lei Laosi was startled and took a few steps closer.
This was a young woman, her lower legs were stuck in the black mire, and most of her body was still outside.
They saw the back from above just now, so no wonder they didn't see it.
But his eyes were closed tightly and his breath was gone. He was indeed dead.
Chu Liuyue raised her hand and snapped her fingers, and a ball of fire appeared in her palm, instantly lighting up the surrounding area.
And they finally saw the face of the woman.
His face turned purple, his cheeks were deeply sunken, and his facial features were distorted. It looked like he had experienced great torture before his death.
But on her body, there was only one scar on her chest, as if something had penetrated it directly, and a large amount of blood stained it.
Chu Liuyue's pupils narrowed slightly.
Lei Laosi's expression also changed.
How could this woman die in such a tragic and strange death
"Who is this?"
People from behind also followed one after another.
When Jiang Yucheng got closer, he could already see that the woman was not Shangguan Wan.
Chu Liuyue glanced at him:
"He is a disciple of the Nine Star Alliance."
In fact, this woman was the one who had ridiculed them many times before.
She was the woman who bullied Ye Ranran in Qianjingyuan.
I saw him still arrogant and domineering before, but I didn't expect that he would be dead in the blink of an eye.
Jiang Yucheng walked up to the two of them and saw the woman's face, his face turned cold.
Chu Liuyue had been paying attention to him, and when she saw his reaction, she raised her eyebrows slightly.
It's really weird.
Seeing this situation, Jiang Yucheng's first reaction was not shock or confusion, but something like... anger
How come he doesn't seem surprised by this scene
