It's not that Zhao Yisu didn't expect that this trip would be dangerous, but he encountered a demonic body just after leaving the thunder realm. Such an unlucky thing was really unexpected.
She subconsciously held her breath, and it turned out that she was right.
The black shadow quickly wandered throughout the back mountain, passing in front of Zhao Yisu and Jiang Yunchen twice in an instant, but their presence was not found both times.
This is mainly due to Duan Jue's ability to hide his aura. However, staying here is not a long-term solution. Moving forward is a dead end. The demonic body has occupied the entire back mountain, and it seems that it is the king of the mountain.
Seizing the opportunity for the demon body to fly away, Jiang Yunchen winked at Zhao Yisu. Zhao Yisu understood instantly and nodded lightly.
The next second, Windwalker burst out with a powerful momentum, and Zhao Yisu pulled Jiang Yunchen back several miles in the blink of an eye, arriving at the edge of the Thunder Realm.
The demonic body almost immediately caught up with him. Just when he was about to catch Zhao Yisu, Jiang Yunchen had already cast a spell to reopen the thunder realm. The two of them stepped in without hesitation. The black aura of the demonic body was immediately isolated, and it made an unpleasant roar. .
"die!"
"All die!"
The sound was blocked by the barrier of the Thunder Realm, and soon it could no longer be heard.
Zhao Yisu could feel the burning pain behind her back. It was probably a small scratch caused by the black energy of the demonic body, but there was no time to heal the wound. She could only use the ninth-level thunder and fire skill to blend her breath into the thunder realm to avoid encountering the thunder realm. extrusion.
It was at this time, standing in the middle of the Nine Levels of Thunder and Fire Technique, that Zhao Yisu noticed that the burning pain in his back gradually decreased until it was completely eliminated.
Since she didn't dare to open her eyes in the thunder realm, she could only ask Jiang Yunchen: "I seem to have been scratched by the demon body? But it doesn't hurt anymore."
Jiang Yunchen took a look and saw that a piece of Zhao Yisu's lower back had indeed been eroded away, and a bit of skin was exposed. The skin should have been burned with black marks, but the Nine Levels of Thunder and Fire Technique is naturally suitable for restraining demonic energy, so a little injury She had recovered after entering the Thunder Realm, leaving only a faint red color on her cold white skin.
"It's healed." Jiang Yunchen said, looking away from the piece of skin. He should have continued walking forward, but suddenly stopped.
Zhao Yisu, who had his eyes closed, almost bumped into him: "What's wrong?"
Jiang Yunchen tapped his fingertips, and Zhao Yisu felt like he had an extra cloak on his body.
"Let's go."
"Oh." She grabbed Jiang Yunchen's sleeve with one hand: "Where are we going now? Go back the way we came."
"Take a detour to exit from the north side of Thunder Realm. I have some questions that I want to clarify."
The two of them walked in the thunder realm for an unknown amount of time, and finally arrived at the place Jiang Yunchen said.
Go out from the north side of Qianlei Realm. This time it is daytime outside.
Zhao Yisu closed his eyes for a long time and finally adapted to the light. What he saw when he opened his eyes was a devastated world.
There are mountains all around here, but unlike the mountains behind Xuandan Mansion, there are no trees or grass in the mountains here. They are bare everywhere. The rocks have been mined into various strange shapes. Discarded scraps of homemade mining can be seen everywhere on both sides of the road. Tools, and skeletons exposed in the wilderness.
Zhao Yisu detected his consciousness and found that there was no sound within a hundred meters. There were countless bodies lying on the ground.
The clothes of these corpses were extremely torn, and they were skinny and almost all had injuries. The youngest corpse was only a few years old and looked like it had just learned how to walk. But the child's body was actually carrying a small bamboo basket, and the bones on both shoulders were slightly deformed under the pressure. It was clear at a glance that he had been hard labored.
"Where is this?" Zhao Yisu withdrew his consciousness and couldn't bear to look any further.
"There should be a spirit stone mine here. It is the origin of the spirit stones of Xuandan Mansion. Let's take a look." Jiang Yunchen took the lead and walked forward.
The two walked through the barren mountains littered with corpses and came to the bottom of a village in search of the sound.
"These are all mortals here. Let's disguise ourselves so as not to cause unnecessary trouble."
Jiang Yunchen said, using the disguise technique to turn himself into a middle-aged rough man.
Zhao Yisu turned himself into a village woman. Their clothes were all made from local materials and ripped directly from the corpses.
"We have no intention of offending the two deceased, please forgive me." Zhao Yisu bowed to the two corpses.
The two continued to move forward and reached an open area that looked like a village, except that there were broken walls and ruins everywhere.
Before I got close, I heard an old woman wandering around the entrance of the village with a cry: "Si Mao...my Si Mao, where are you? Go home quickly, grandma misses you..."
That sound brings tears to those who hear it.
Jiang Yunchen stepped forward: "Grandma..."
The crying old woman immediately moved her crutch warily.
Zhao Yisu quickly said: "Grandma, don't be afraid. My brother and I are fleeing from the wilderness. We just want to ask you for directions."
Hearing the voice of a friendly woman, the old woman lowered her guard slightly: "Fleeing? People fleeing from famine all go outside. How could they end up deep in Juling Mountain?"
Zhao Yisu: "Huh? Brother, it turns out we found the wrong place..."
Seeing her acting so enthusiastically, Jiang Yunchen got into the act himself and said, "Sister, it's all my fault. I got lost in the woods. Now, I've even hurt you."
The two of them cooperated, and every word you said to me made the old lady quickly let down her guard.
"This place is called Langtou Village. Only the villagers run out, and no outsiders come to the village. Alas..." Grandma sighed, raised her crutch and pushed it backwards. She touched the stone bench before groping to sit down.
Zhao Yisu quickly gave her a hand, and then realized that grandma still had eye problems and couldn't see well.
She didn't need to ask, the old lady said by herself: "My eyes are blinded by crying, my grandson Si Mao is missing..." She said this and wiped her tears again.
Zhao Yisu saw that her clothes were ragged and the handkerchief used to wipe her tears was torn and dirty, so he knew that there was no one around her to take care of her.
Sure enough, the grandma said: "My son and daughter-in-law are gone a long time ago. Only Si Mao and I depend on each other. We don't even dare to go out. My family even gave tribute to the mountain god, but I didn't expect that she still disappeared."
"Grandma, can you tell me more about it? My brother and I came here for the first time and didn't understand anything, so we were afraid of breaking the taboo. Also, on the way here just now, there were corpses everywhere in the wilderness, and I was really scared."
Zhao Yisu said and squeezed grandma's arm hard.
Grandma patted the back of her hands. Although these hands were old and dry, they were filled with kind warmth: "Girl, don't lie to me. Do you really have a brother-sister relationship with this man? Not husband and wife?"
"Uh, why would grandma ask that?"
"Just say it or not."
Zhao Yisu said firmly: "Of course not! Grandma, you can't see clearly, otherwise you would know that my appearance and my brother's are carved from the same mold."
Jiang Yunchen glanced at her: He was very good at telling lies with his eyes open.
Zhao Yisu: Thanks.
"That's good, that's good..." Grandma sighed and then spoke slowly.
