The Fire Spirit Mantra burned a few times, but it was only slightly farther than the flashlight, but it was still wrapped in heavy black fog, and there was no end in sight. Lu Fei recited the nine-character mantra and found that the black fog was solidified and motionless. We were overjoyed and quickly took out the compass to find the center of the Tiangang Star. Unexpectedly, the compass's underwater needle was spinning rapidly and could not guide us at all. I was so angry that I threw the compass to the ground. It was just a waste product. It was still a burden to carry it with me, so I might as well throw it away.
"Brother Xi, why don't we split up and look for it. You and Yun Xi will be in a group, and I can do it alone." Lu Fei said anxiously.
Ma Yunxi said: "No, I can do it myself."
I shook my head and said, "The Yin Soldier Formation hasn't launched its attack yet. This is just the beginning. I don't know if the three of us can withstand it together. It's easier to be defeated one by one if we separate. Let's not separate." As I said that, I waved the Shangyang Sword a few times, and suddenly the black fog around was torn apart, and it floated away in all directions, but it couldn't condense again beyond three meters.
"Alas, if I feed the sword to the queen, it might not be like this, right?" Lu Fei asked with a sigh.
I hummed, thinking nonsense, if we feed the sword, I'm afraid they will be scared away without us entering the formation. The Shangyang Sword is powerful, but unfortunately there are too many ghost soldiers, and the heavy Yin Qi suppresses the Yang Qi of the Shangyang Sword. They hide in the dark of the formation and don't come out. There is nothing we can do, unless they rush up desperately, Shangyang Sword will definitely kill them one by one, absolutely no negotiation.
"Hey, look, is there a black shadow over there?" Ma Yunxi said, pointing to the front left.
I thought to myself that it was not strange to see a black shadow, and it would be abnormal if I could not see it. But I still looked in the direction of her finger, and within the range of our sight, I vaguely saw a very blurry black shadow, short in stature, which made me feel moved.
"Could it be Xiaofan?"
The three of us asked the same question at the same time, then nodded to each other and ran over there together. The black shadow rushed forward as if startled, and we followed closely. Looking at the swaying figure in front of us, the more we looked, the more it looked like Xiaofan. And from time to time, we could hear a few strange mute cries, which confirmed that it was this child.
But this kid's stamina was really good. We chased him for half the night but couldn't catch up. Even though the three of us were shouting at the top of our lungs, this kid didn't even turn his head back, but just kept running forward. Our clothes were soaked with sweat, and we were so tired that we couldn't hold on any longer. But the kid was still running happily in front of us.
Suddenly I felt something was wrong, so I stopped and said to them, "Wait, it seems we've been fooled."
Lu Fei panted and asked, "Is that child fake?"
I shook my head and said, "The child may be true, but we have overlooked a fatal loophole..."
Ma Yunxi suddenly realized and said, "It seems that we ran too far and are not on the hillside."
"Are we entering the Death Valley?" Lu Fei's eyes enlarged four or five times.
I was about to answer when the black fog around us dissipated, revealing a bright moon in the sky. The temperature suddenly rose, making us feel even hotter as we were already exerting our body heat. My heart sank, thinking that we had really entered Death Valley. The climate inside and outside the valley was very different. Under the moonlight, we could already see green grass all over the ground, and a few sea buckthorns were swaying in the wind not far in front of us.
Ma Yunxi shone the flashlight around and couldn't believe her eyes. She had never been to Death Valley, but she had heard me talk about it. She said in amazement, "It's so beautiful here. There's still snow outside, but inside it's full of flowers like spring."
Lu Fei swallowed his saliva wildly and asked stutteringly: "Brother Xi, this... this really can't be... Death Valley, right?"
I sighed and said, "It's Death Valley." We were so busy chasing the child that we completely ignored the terrain. We were originally on the hillside, but we didn't notice anything when we got to the flat ground. And we ran such a long distance without noticing anything. Now we have entered the Death Valley, the ghost army formation has disbanded, and we haven't caught up with the child. What a coward.
The range of this Yin Bing formation cannot be that wide, which is another point I overlooked. Because I thought it was the same as the underworld, I didn't think too much about it. Maybe it was moving with us, so we thought we were still on the hillside, but in fact we had already followed Xiao Fan's figure and ran towards the Death Valley.
"What should we do now?" Lu Fei turned his head and looked around, looking nervous.
"Let's go back." Ma Yunxi said decisively.
I thought about it and shook my head, "The entrance to the valley must be blocked. There must be a trap waiting for us to jump into. Besides, the child is not found. How can I explain to Xiao Ning when I go back? At present, there is only one way to go, fight them till the end!"
Lu Fei hung his head and said, "Let's fight. We're going to die anyway, so we have to die gloriously..."
I nodded and said, "After you die, Yunxi and I will erect a martyr's monument in front of your grave."
Ma Yunxi said sadly: "I hope none of us will die."
I smiled bitterly, hoping for the best, but the ending is often cruel. Just as I was about to speak, I heard a cold female voice coming from the darkness in front of me: "Yun Xi, come over here!"
Damn his second uncle, it’s Mei Ruoqi!
Lu Fei and I were shocked and both stood in front of Ma Yunxi to block her. I didn't think too much at the time, but later I thought my actions were a bit stupid. Mei Ruoqi wouldn't harm his own daughter, so why should we be so anxious
Ma Yunxi recognized her mother's voice and desperately pulled us apart and ran out. I reached out and grabbed her arm and pulled it, but she was quite strong and shook my hand off, instantly disappearing into the darkness ahead.
"Yunxi, don't be fooled, that's not your mother!" I wanted to trick her back, but after a long time, I couldn't hear any response from Ma Yunxi. I knew it was bad, Ma Yunxi must have been taken away by Mei Ruoqi, and with her around, Mei Ruoqi would be afraid to do anything to us. Once she left, we became two poor little prey!
"Brother Xi, let's start the battle!" Lu Fei said to me with a bitter face.
Because we heard rustling sounds all around, and the evil spirit was coming towards us. Just like a barking dog will not bite, but a silent dog will bite. This ghost is the same, it comes silently, and that is the most terrifying!
At this point, it was useless to think more, so I puffed out my chest, held up the Shangyang Sword and sneered, "Let those who are not afraid of death come. The Shangyang Sword has been buried for thousands of years and has been hungry for a long time. Let it drink its fill of ghost blood!"
Lu Fei was inspired by my words, and he held the peach wood sword upright behind his back, made a gesture with his left hand and said, "Kill them all!"
"Hehehe... Little ghost, you talk very cutely. Now that the members of the Ghost Fox Society are here, the sisters all like you very much. You will have endless good fortune tonight..."
After hearing this, my scalp went numb. The dough maker also came here, and brought those damn things of the Ghost Fox Society. It is said that the means of fox spirits to seduce men are very clever. I don't know if I can resist their temptation. Losing your virginity is a small matter, but losing your life is a big matter!
If it's just losing my virginity, I'd rather lose it again and again...
