The girl noticed Yunzhi's gaze and immediately looked away.
Then she turned around, facing away from everyone. In an instant, a pair of golden wings shining like flames spread out from her back. The wings were so huge that they seemed to burst the cave. They were dazzling and constantly emitted powerful energy outwards.
At this time, the cheers of the crowd were almost shaking the place. The girl folded her wings lightly, followed the light and flew to the top of the cave, and finally disappeared at the end of the light.
After she left, the light suddenly disappeared, and the cave became pitch black and nothing could be seen.
But the others didn't seem to be panicked. They seemed to have night vision, and it made no difference to them whether there was light or not. They continued to talk and laugh, and headed for the exit in an orderly manner.
But Yunzhi was not visible at all.
At this time, Qing'er quickly grabbed Yunzhi's hand and then Ye Baiyu. Jie Wei took the initiative to hold Yunzhi's arm. Qing'er said to Yunzhi, "Master, I can see it, just follow me."
Yunzhi gently squeezed Qing'er's finger in response, with a very pleased expression on her face. No matter what time, Qing'er was an extremely reliable existence.
The four of them slowly walked out of the cave. After getting used to the light in front of them, they found that they were back in the forest. But compared with the place they just arrived, the environment here is brighter and warmer. The trees here are sparse and low, and large tracts of sunlight are scattered, giving the green here a layer of gradient gold.
But the trees in the distance became towering and huge, blocking out the sky and the sun, and taking root in the ground like Optimus Prime. I have never seen such towering trees with cloudy branches before. If a person runs around the base of the giant tree, it will take a long time. Even the exposed roots are several people thick. Almost every giant tree has wooden houses built on it, and some even have wooden planks. They must be the residences of these foreigners.
Not far from them, there was a large open space. In the open space, a circular high platform was built with stones. In the middle of the high platform stood a stone statue about two people tall. The stone statue was a woman holding a bottle. She raised her head slightly and looked at the sky indifferently. At her feet, she was crawling around a shark man. The shark man's face was pressed against the woman's feet. He had his eyes closed and his expression was gentle.
Yunzhi looked at the statue in silence, with mixed emotions.
But she only took a few more glances, then immediately turned away, took the three of them to a deserted corner, and began to take off the decorations that represented the identity of the guards.
After everything was cleaned up, the four of them breathed a sigh of relief and sat on the ground to rest.
Qing'er touched her chest with lingering fear, "The people here are too cruel... just peeling off the shark's skin like this..."
Yunzhi sighed softly. She really didn't expect that this trial would be like this. She recalled just now, the crowd, the cheers, the foreign girl, the cruel ceremony, the tearful shark, and the inexplicable throbbing in her heart...
Jie Wei spoke, interrupting Yunzhi's memories in time, "Master, now that we have escaped, are we safe for the time being? Then we can just avoid these seven days as we said at the beginning?"
Yunzhi rarely answered the question directly. She only said, "This place of trial is to test the cultivation level of each sect disciple. It is naturally full of dangers, and all kinds of unexpected things will happen. We are here, we have to Be prepared for anything to happen. Everything is planned in advance. As long as I am here, you don’t have to worry.”
She turned to look at Jie Wei and said, "A Wei, your cultivation level is low. I'm a little worried about you. You must follow us closely and don't act impulsively."
Jie Weiwei looked like he was hesitating to speak, but finally nodded silently.
Yunzhi looked at his stern face, the expression on his face was indifferent and deep that did not match his age, and suddenly felt a little funny, "You are so taciturn, you look like a younger brother of mine."
Ye Baiyu interjected, "Master, does he have a younger brother? I haven't heard you talk about it, Master."
Yunzhi was stunned, and Jie Wei's body tightened unconsciously. Yunzhi shook his head, "No, it's just that I feel that if I have a younger brother, he should have a personality like A Wei's."
Hearing what Yunzhi said, Jie Wei's body relaxed, and he subconsciously touched the earrings on his ears.
This magic weapon of Hengqiu is really useful.
The day he was born happened to be the second day after Yunzhi attained enlightenment and became an immortal, so in terms of immortal age, Yunzhi was one day older than him.
But when Yunzhi became an immortal, he had been an adult who had practiced cultivation for nearly a thousand years and experienced countless vicissitudes of life. Before he was five hundred years old, he could only maintain the form of a 10-year-old child. This was also the case when the two met for the first time. Therefore, after the two got to know each other later, Yunzhi always regarded herself as her sister and forced him to call her sister.
"Are you done talking?" A cold female voice came from behind the four of them. Yunzhi suddenly tensed up. Before she could turn around to see who it was, she felt the world was spinning, her vision went dark, and then she lost consciousness.
When Yunzhi opened his eyes, he found the four of them in a cramped stone room. They were tied tightly to the stone pillars, and there was a faint smell of blood in the air. There are no windows in the stone house, only a simple oil lamp placed on the table in front barely illuminates the place, which looks like a dungeon.
In addition to the oil lamps placed on the table, there are also bottles and sticks of various shapes. The foreign girl from before was standing quietly behind the table. She was still wearing a black robe, but she had taken off her hood and looked at the four of them expressionlessly. She was very close to the oil lamp, and her emerald green eyes flashed dangerously in the dim light, like a snake hiding in the dark, spitting out messages, as if it was about to attack at any time.
The girl's eyes swept around the four of them. Qing'er and Ye Baiyu were not yet awake. Finally, her eyes rested on Jie Wei, who had just woken up.
Yunzhi suddenly became nervous and quickly made a sound, trying to divert the woman's attention, "Hey, look here, who are you?"
The girl's eyes returned to Yunzhi. She slowly walked up to Yunzhi and asked in a clear voice, "Foreigners, I haven't asked who you are yet."
Yunzhi was stunned, she could actually speak their language.
Yunzhi's brain was spinning rapidly at this time, constantly analyzing the current situation. Finally, she apologized, "We are from another world, just passing through your place, no offense intended. We were caught accidentally because we went the wrong way. If we were disturbed, You are very sorry."
"Not telling the truth?"
Yunzhi was very shocked, but his face remained calm. The girl's tone was very firm, and Yunzhi intuitively told herself that this person should know something.
Just as Yunzhi was hesitating, the girl spoke again, "Don't forget that it was me who released you. I will give you one last chance to tell you who you are and what you want to do here!"
After Yunzhi weighed it for a moment, she felt that although this person was mean-mouthed and rude throughout the whole process, after all, they were currently in her territory, and she had never shown any murderous intent towards them, so she could be trusted for the time being.
Moreover, Yunzhi was very concerned about her keeping an eye on Jie Wei just now. Yunzhi was afraid that this girl would attack Jie Wei, and she couldn't bear it given Jie Wei's cultivation.
So Yunzhi said, "We are indeed from another world. We were sent here by inspiration. We came here just to complete a task. We have no ill intentions."
"What mission?"
"I don't know yet." Yunzhi said, quietly observing the girl's reaction. Yunzhi naturally won't tell the whole story. It depends on how much she believes it if she mixes up the truth and lies.
The girl stared at Yunzhi for a moment, smiled contemptuously, and then picked up an iron bar from the table in front of her. Before Yunzhi could see the iron bar clearly, the woman quickly stepped forward and pointed it at Jie Wei's heart. He inserted the iron rod into it.
Yunzhi was stunned on the spot.
"What are you doing!" Yunzhi roared angrily. She never expected that this person would strike so quickly. Yunzhi struggled desperately to save Wei, but she was fixed to death and could not move at all. , the mana is also imprisoned and cannot be used.
Jie Wei seemed to feel no pain, and just stared at the girl blankly, with a dull expression, which looked very abnormal.
The girl picked up another emerald green vial from the table and placed it on the end of the iron rod.
Jie Wei's blood flowed down the iron rod and fell into the bottle. After collecting enough, the girl turned towards the table, turned her back to them, carefully scooped out a spoonful of liquid from a jar under the table, and poured it into the bottle.
Yunzhi couldn't accept the current situation at all. She looked at Jie Wei. He was motionless. The blood that had flowed out had accumulated in a pool under him. The black and red blood was particularly dazzling. Yunzhi felt that his breath was getting weaker and weaker. If he continued like this, he would definitely die of blood loss.
Yunzhi became unusually panicked, and she shouted to the girl, "That child is innocent, please save him, he will die if he continues like this!"
After hearing this, the girl picked up another iron rod from the table, turned around and stabbed Yunzhi in the heart in the blink of an eye.
Yunzhi only felt as if someone had stabbed her chest lightly. She lowered her head and saw her own blood flowing down quickly.
It turns out that there are grooves on the iron rod. No wonder the blood flows so fast. Yunzhi's mind went blank, leaving only this idea.
Qing'er woke up at this moment. She looked around and happened to see the scene where Yunzhi was inserted into the iron rod. She screamed, "Master!!"
The girl changed a bottle to catch Yunzhi's blood. At this moment, Yunzhi was in a trance, his thinking became sluggish, his body could no longer move, and even the sounds around him became blurred and could not be heard clearly.
Yunzhi watched the girl insert two iron rods into the hearts of Qing'er and Ye Baiyu respectively, and repeated the behavior of throwing things just now.
Are we... going to die here? This thought came to Yunzhi's mind.
