Shangguan Jing was about to hide the Netherworld Grass when suddenly, her head felt dizzy and the people and objects in front of her became blurry. Her body fell limply until she fell unconscious.
The medicine bottle containing Netherworld Grass fell to the ground with a thud.
In a coma, she felt like she was being pulled by an invisible force, drifting in the darkness. Her consciousness gradually fell into chaos, and the air around her seemed to become hot, as if she was being thrown into a blazing fire. His eyelids were too heavy to open, and he could only let himself be pulled by this force until he completely fell into the abyss of coma.
At this time, on the other side, Mr. Yao Shi originally gave them an hour to find the Netherworld Grass, but as time passed by, Shangguan Jing was still nowhere to be seen.
"Have you met Shangguan classmate?"
They looked at each other and shook their heads.
Yi He's eyes gradually became serious, "Master, what happened?"
"I'll go find her." After Yi He said that, he disappeared from everyone's sight.
Bai Hu turned to Mr. Yao Shi and said, "Sir, let's go find Shangguan classmates. You go back to Jiuling first."
"Okay, I'll wait for your news."
White Tiger and the boy followed, and they headed deeper into the forest.
In the forest, bursts of mist filled the air, and the surrounding towering trees were airtight, blocking the sunlight. Only the occasional rays of light shone on the ground through the gaps in the leaves. They went all the way deep into the forest, not missing any corner. Just as they entered the depths of the forest, there was a sudden movement in the distance.
"Hush!" Yi He signaled everyone to be quiet. He quickly followed the source of the sound and found a thin spiritual beast wearing a brocade robe and a horn on its head playing with the glass bottle that Shangguan Jing had dropped. It rolled up the bottle with its long tail and flew up and down, but Shangguan Jing was never seen.
When the spirit beast saw Yi He and his party, he became inexplicably wary. Its tail lowered the bottle, and its body tensed, as if it was ready to escape at any moment.
Yi He didn't say anything. He slowly approached the spirit beast, trying to find traces of Shangguan Jing.
When the spirit beast saw Yi He, it seemed like it was seeing an acquaintance, and it meekly lowered its head.
"Have you ever seen this girl?" Yi He said. He took out a portrait of Shangguan Jing from his arms and showed it to the spirit beast. It looked at the portrait with a trace of doubt in its eyes, and then shook its head. .
"She may be somewhere in this forest. Can you help us find her?" Yi He tried to communicate with the spirit beast, hoping it could provide some clues.
The spirit beast pondered for a moment, turned around the bottle a few times, then nodded, turned and walked deeper into the forest.
"Follow it!" They followed closely, following the footsteps of the spiritual beast deeper into the forest.
Not far away, the sun shines through the gaps in the leaves on an open space, forming a spot of light. The spirit beast led Yi He and his group to the spring and stopped. Then he walked to the spring, lowered his head and slowly drank the cool spring water. The calm lake surface rippled in circles, sparkling in the sunlight.
"It turns out that this spiritual beast is thirsty."
Bai Hu couldn't help but find it funny.
"Someone has been here before." Yi He said, pointing to the footprints in the grass. Seeing this, Bai Hu and the boy quickly approached and looked at several messy footprints in the grass beside the spring.
He bent down and observed the footprints carefully, and found that they were much larger than ordinary people's footprints, and they were strangely shaped, like the footprints of some strange creature.
"Master, this is a bit like the footprints of the monster we encountered for the first time when we entered Youshan."
Yi He's heart tightened. Could it be that Shangguan Jing was kidnapped by the men in black?
They followed the footprints all the way through a dense forest and finally came to the entrance of a cave. The entrance to the cave is obscured by dense leaves, making it impossible to spot it unless you look carefully. They entered the cave cautiously. It was pitch dark inside and they could only move forward gropingly. After walking for about ten minutes, they vaguely saw a light coming from the front, accompanied by a strange smell.
The monster they fought with was now lying on the ground dying, with a pool of blue blood flowing out from under it.
"Master, it's that monster!" Bai Hu recognized the monster that they had fought with at a glance.
"Don't be alarmed first. The monster we fought with at that time was not his true body. Someone separated his demonic spirit from his physical body."
"Master, what you mean is that what we are seeing now is the true form of the monster!" Bai Hu was startled.
"Yes, I'm afraid his demon spirit has been broken, and now he can only survive the rest of his days."
Who on earth has such great power to defeat the demon? Yi He's pupils shrank, fearing that it was the unusual person who had kidnapped Guan Jing.
