Double world undercurrent

Chapter 51 Chapter 51 Devouring Curse

The dull sound of falling into the water accompanied by the wet and cold invasion package submerged her again into the darkness of the humming water pressure.She conjured up a ball of light, and the snakes and insects twisting around the shield looked like a mess, gnawing at her solid shield with sharp teeth, blocking her line of sight.

I don't know how Mingshuo will be hurt by these disgusting things when he falls in...

Gu Xiaoxing's heart-wrenching anxiety has ignited into burning anger, and the curse accumulated in her hand flashes like lightning, and with her only thought at this time, she throws it out with all her strength!

"boom!"

A ball of fiery mantra light waves ignited in the water, instantly extinguishing the dense layers of snakes and insects surrounding it, and the water temperature of the whole pool became somewhat warmer.

The energy that Mingshuo poured into not only strengthened her shield, but also brought powerful blessings to her spells.

Leng Yi's subordinates followed closely behind and dived into the water one after another, shooting spells at her continuously, but the mirror image shadow demon has not yet chased her up.

"Boom!" "Boom!"

The dull sound of the spell scraping the shield echoed in his ears, Gu Xiaoxing twisted and threw a ball of water control spells, drawing several arcs in the water, rolling up an undercurrent vortex where it passed, and swirling the approaching living things It was twisted into pieces, hindering the pursuit from behind.

She resisted the disgust of the black snakes and insects swimming in front of her eyes. Even though her scalp was numb and her body began to tremble involuntarily, she still attacked head-on, swirled in the water for a circle, and cast a spell towards the bottom of the snakes and insects. Swipe out.

"Oh!"

Another burst of light waves cleaned up the snakes and insects.When the light was soft and her sight through the water became clear, she finally found Ming Shuo's battle-damaged figure!
He seemed to have lost consciousness and sank to the bottom of the pool, with black miasma flowing around him, revealing a terrifying aura that made living creatures shy away.The long and flat snakes snaked around him, eager to try and eat, but they dared not get close.

Ming Shuo should still be alive...

Gu Xiaoxing felt a little relieved.

Although she was already trembling with nausea from the twisted snakes and worms, and also frightened by his inexplicable dangerous breath, she instinctively wanted to avoid him, but after a short pause, she was determined to save him, and finally overcame her The fear that arises spontaneously in the bottom of my heart.

Gu Xiaoxing swam over, repelled the snakes and insects that turned to besiege her, and bravely approached Mingshuo...

Mingshuo, wake up...

She had never seen him like this before, and hidden under his chilling aura, there was a breathtaking sense of brokenness on his sleeping face with sharp corners and indestructibility.

A subtle feeling of "being needed" passed over her heart gently.

Ming Shuo...

Gu Xiaoxing ignored the sound of gnawing on the shield again at this time, she stretched out her slender hand wrapped in a protective spell, passed through the shield, submerged in the miasma in the dense water of Mingshuo, and shook his arm vigorously.

Ming Shuo, please wake up quickly.

In the nearby water came the sound of spells that Zhuyan and his party were about to break through the barrier.

Gu Xiaoxing called him anxiously...

Suddenly, a strong pain and cold feeling rushed into the palm of her hand and penetrated directly into her arm. She subconsciously retracted her hand into the shield and rubbed it in surprise.

Immediately, the miasma surrounding Ming Shuo quickly spread in all directions, and the spreading darkness engulfed all living things nearby.

In an instant, all the living creatures caught in it felt a kind of despair that could not be broken free, and a strong sense of oppression hit Gu Xiaoxing's heart. Even Leng Yi's subordinates who were chasing after him were forced to summon their shields by the sudden invasion of darkness. flash.

And the sharp-faced and narrow-eyed man named You Yi who was fighting with Gu Xiaoxing at the edge of the dark lake, who rushed to the front, was swallowed together with the unnamed man behind him because he couldn't retreat in time. .

You Yi and the shield summoned by the man behind him shattered into the miasma of Ming Shuo, like insects stuck on a spider's web, in the dark water that Gu Xiaoxing could not see, the limbs convulsed Baotou began to struggle in great pain, but he couldn't stop the spirit of the gods from seeping out of his skin like blood, absorbing and melting into the enveloping miasma, and died.

Although she didn't see this terrifying scene, Gu Xiaoxing, who was also submerged in the miasma, was also affected by the breath of death outside the shield, and felt fear and despair uncontrollably. This emotion even overshadowed her aversion to snakes and insects.

She curled up in the shield involuntarily, hugging herself who was trembling slightly, being careful not to go over the shield wall, and glimpsed a pale light spell on the edge of the nearly transparent shield, protecting her from the miasma outside the shield. hurt.

Perhaps because the shield was originally summoned by Mingshuo for her, with his spiritual power on it, the miasma in the water did not erode this shield.

Gu Xiaoxing raised his head, and through the dim light on the shield wall, he was shocked to see that the nearby snakes and insects were convulsing and writhing, and soon shriveled to nothing but lifeless shells.The dark green spirit oozed out from the body, and melted into the black miasma.

In this way, Mingshuo devoured the living creatures submerged in the miasma, replenishing the greatly depleted divine energy!

As long as it is strong enough and willing, demons can devour everything.This is their innate attribute.

Those dark green spirits absorbed from snakes and insects reminded Gu Xiaoxing of the spirits of mortals.She tried to turn her attention to other things, trying to suppress the fear that had crept into her heart.

She struggled to distract her mind, thinking of the spirit of mortals, and couldn't help but think of Leng Yi. She suddenly thought, was it related to the differences of ideas between them when she sealed Leng Yi back then?
If Ming Shuo, like Leng Yi, coveted the souls of mortals, coveted the rich resources of the present world, ignored the peace contract, and plundered recklessly, what would the two worlds look like?
The result of war is often a lose-lose situation.

Could this be the reason why she sealed Leng Yi back then and helped Ming Shuo become the Demon King?It seems that the civil war is not only related to the future of the other world, but also to the future of the present world.

Was this the best option at the time?
Gu Xiaoxing guessed based on the only memories, his eyes moved slightly, and he saw a slight movement on Mingshuo's comatose face.

The miasma dissolved in the water quickly gathered into his phantom robe, and the pervasive fear and despair also dissipated.Seeing Mingshuo move slightly, she slowly woke up from the coma.

"Ming Shuo!"

Gu Xiaoxing mobilized his spiritual power, ignored the obstruction of the underwater environment, and called him, and he swam over with relief, with lingering fears in his heart.

He seemed to have regained some of his strength.

"Xin'er, didn't I tell you to—"

Mingshuo stopped before he finished speaking, and he saw that Gu Xiaoxing's face was pale, his lips were still trembling slightly, as if he had been frightened.I don't know if he was frightened by the snakes or insects, or he was shocked by the Devouring Curse that he cast before he fell into the water and passed out.

He really wants to hug her through her shield, touch her head to comfort her, this thought is as sincere as that uncontrollable, loving kiss; as sincere as that wholehearted, wanting to do everything possible to protect her desire is so strong.

However, I don't know how she feels about it.

"I saw you were hit by a spell and fell into the water, so... just turned back..."

Gu Xiaoxing seemed to be still immersed in the lingering aftertaste of the fear just now, her eyes flickered, and she was a little cute, and her long hair fluttered gently in the water.

Ming Shuo's dark icy eyes are full of affection:

"Aren't you afraid of snakes and insects?"

When Gu Xiaoxing heard this, his eyes widened, and even his trembling cherry lips were expressive, and he raised his voice and said:
"I'm scared! I'm scared to death! I get... goosebumps when I see them, but—"

She drooped her eyes and flickered, her voice lowered:
"—how can I...leave you alone."

A warm sweetness flooded Ming Shuo's heart, he was alert to the movement in the nearby water, turned his head slightly, and inadvertently passed a shallow arc:

"How could something happen to me..."

fool.

He called out lovingly in his heart.

Gu Xiaoxing's eyes flashed and he blinked again:
"Why is nothing wrong? You were injured, and you—"

She froze suddenly, hesitated to speak.

"—what before me?"

Ming Shuo's eyes lit up, seeing her lightly paddling and turning to the side, if it wasn't for the dim light underwater, he would have been able to capture the shyness on her face at this moment.

Gu Xiaoxing originally wanted to say that he poured the rest of his energy into her earlier, making her even more worried, but when he thought about the way he poured his energy just now...

Even in the water, she felt that she was scalded from her cheeks to the base of her neck. She was excited and confused, at a loss, and even more embarrassed to look at Mingshuo.

"nothing……"

She had no choice but to say, pretending to be calm to check the environment in the water.

But Mingshuo was still conscious, he paused for a moment, and a cold and sincere voice sounded behind her:
"Xin'er, I am to you—"

"—Let's go, Ming Shuo."

She swam forward for a short distance, she didn't seem to hear his voice, but she seemed to hear it again.

He couldn't figure it out, and felt inexplicably lost in his heart...

The dark underwater was extremely calm, and the shriveled shells sank quietly to the bottom of the pool, or slowly floated to the surface.

Leng Yi's subordinates were all gone.

Maybe they saw that Ming Shuo had swallowed his soul just now, and they couldn't figure out how far he could recover, so they didn't dare to act rashly.After all, their leader is not here.

And the reason why the Mirror Image Shadow Demon didn't follow into the water was probably because he was afraid of seeing his own projection.

To be on the safe side, the two of them can only leave this water area now, return to the dark lake, and find the sigil that can teleport back to the dark cave full of stalactites.

"Swim through here, and we can return to the dark lake."

Gu Xiaoxing found a way to travel through the water, and she led Mingshuo to teleport there as if exploring at the bottom of the pool.

Regarding what happened just now, the two of them seemed to have tacit understanding and did not mention it again.

They suspected that Leng Yi's subordinates might be teleported directly to the edge of the dark lake, waiting for them to appear.And as long as they landed, the Mirror Image Shadow Demon would come to them again.

"Those people want to use the mirrored shadow demon to contain you, Ming Shuo... If we get rid of the shadow demon first..."

Gu Xiaoxing stopped suddenly, she suddenly remembered that Mingshuo's memory would be spied on by the mirror image demon, if she said the countermeasure so directly, it would be too easy to expose.

"I understand what you mean, Xin'er... just play by ear."

Mingshuo responded knowingly.

He found that there are a lot of dark holes in the water, maybe there are dark rivers nearby.If you explore deeply along the underwater dark cave, maybe you can find the location of the altar?he thought.

If the guards can break through the barrier of loss and enter here, he will definitely let them search through it.

At this time, on the surface of this underground dark cave like a Rubik's cube, that is, on the outermost dark red island in the center of the lake, Mu Feng, wearing a frost-bladed armor and with peak-like eyebrows, paced back and forth among a guard. In front of the detachment, a trace of anxiety flashed across the resolute and quiet face.

His piercing eyes glanced at the hexagram dark hole on the ground from time to time, and when he received orders from afar and assembled the guards to come here, His Royal Highness the Demon King had already broken through the barrier and broke in.He was about to bring the guards down to support, when the magic smoke of the lost enchantment rose from the cave.

So, just in case, he first assigned a detachment of guards to go down to find out the level of the spell, and to meet His Highness.But who would have thought that shortly after they entered, they lost contact with the outside world.

Rescuing His Highness was the most important thing, Mu Feng decided to lead the rest of the guards into the dark cave immediately, but at this moment, the two guards who had entered before came out of the cave in a dazed manner, looking a little struggling.

They said that there are many seal traps inside, and once the guards entered, they were disturbed by a very high-level confusion barrier, not to mention looking for His Highness, even the guards would get separated if they didn't pay attention, and they would get lost inside and couldn't get out. Come.

However, they discovered that the reason why the Lost Barrier is so strong is because it is controlled by the sigil organ. If they can find the location of the sigil organ and read the correct password to remove it, the barrier can be broken.

Mu Feng couldn't help but think of the rebellious prisoners who are being tortured in the crying prison. If they can pry the answers out of their mouths, the efficiency can naturally be improved, but the time is tight...

So, he is now waiting for news from the torture officer in the prison.Time was limited and the situation was urgent, so he exerted corresponding pressure on that side, hoping to get the result he wanted within the limited time.

Even if not, he would lead the rest of the guards into the dark cave.

Your Highness must be fine!
Every minute of time is like living a day...

Only a few seconds left...

Finally, the message from the interrogator faded into sight...

His sharp and piercing eyes swept across the handwriting quickly and forcefully, and Mu Feng decisively held up the phantom Long You Dao, and waved it vigorously:
"Break!"
