mountains and rivers dream

"This is... eh? Isn't this a deep pool of warm water!!!"

The things in front of her looked familiar to the quagmire, and Wei Chengshuang couldn't help but scream.

"You're really good at finding a place!" Even Bai Jingyi fanned herself with her sleeves. The smell here was really too strong.

Not only was it originally warm water at the bottom of the deep pool, but it also smelled like rotten mud that had been stored there for who knows how long.

After this period of time, under the hot temperature of the endless forest, the monster that was beaten to death and buried deep in the mud was exuding a dizzying smell of decay.

Now Xiao Yu has some sympathy for Wei Fengyu. He was really pitiful because he was covered in stinky mud that day.

"Master, that monster seems to have rotted down there, it stinks so bad!"

Covering her nose, Wei Chengshuang's voice was very nasal when she spoke, but her disgust was obvious. She simply took off two leaves and stuffed them into her nostrils.

But just as he was talking, there was a bang, and a tall pile of mud suddenly exploded from the bottom of the quagmire, followed by an even more unpleasant smell.

It was obviously due to the decay of the monster's body that a large amount of methane accumulated underground, causing the quagmire to occasionally explode with mud and smell.

"What is there that you can't let go of here that makes you come here unconsciously..."

Bai Jingyi disliked this place from the bottom of her heart.

She shook the mud off her shoes and waved her black gauze sleeves frequently, first brushing off the stains on her body, and then the demonic power in her sleeves suddenly emerged, and a bright red barrier spread out over the entire warm water pool. It spreads downward like a red umbrella, eventually covering the entire quagmire.

Several people finally breathed a sigh of relief.

Wei Chengshuang looked up at the high barrier, then lowered his head and knocked on the deep pit in disdain:

"Mom, what on earth is this? I just roughly know that there is something powerful here, but this thing doesn't look like it belongs to our demon clan!"

Coincidentally, this is exactly what Xiao Yu is wondering about.

There was a cautious look on her face, and she desperately wanted to know the origin of the one-eyed monster, but subconsciously she felt that the origin of this thing might have other implications, and she did not dare to be as heartless as Wei Chengshuang.

"What else could it be? It's just a changed species of snake. It can't cultivate into a human body, so it can only hide here!"

Bai Jingyi looked determined.

Of course, this is what Xiao Yu expected. If this thing looks like this, forget it if the monster originally looked like this. If it is really a mutated thing, I am afraid that my own mother may not be able to recognize it when she comes.

Wei Chengshuang also looked disappointed:

"Tsk, I knew this was a little demon that failed to transform, but it almost beat Master and me half to death! By the way, Master, are you feeling better?"

She bounced to Xiao Yu and said with concern.

But Xiao Yu snorted and smiled: "I'm fine, otherwise how could I have so much strength to trap my good disciple into this big pit? You think so, my Shuang disciple!"

She slapped Wei Chengshuang's shoulder hard with her palm, grinning from ear to ear.

Wei Chengshuang's body shook suddenly. She was a little scared when she looked at the master who was dressed in red and had a pale face and a forced smile but strong hands:

"Master, Master, you look like a female ghost. If you go to Qiming City like this, others will definitely not recognize you as a human being! Haha...hehe..."

Wei Chengshuang giggled, but her movements did not stop. She quickly slipped behind Qin Lin like a pink wandering spirit, hiding half of her body behind.

But she didn't notice that while she was hiding, Xiao Yu looked at Qin Lin with a cold look. The other party was stunned at first, but he roughly understood what she meant.

Therefore, when Wei Chengshuang thought that he had finally found a good person as a shield, he suddenly felt that Qin Lin's whole body was suddenly filled with ghost energy, and his whole body was exuding an eerie cold air.

She was so frightened that she quickly ran away and jumped away from the place in a few steps. Her feet were too strong and she almost went straight into the forest.

Hiding behind a big tree, Wei Chengshuang stuck out half of his head:

"You! You two teamed up to scare me. Mom, look at the good master you found for me! And the good husband she found for herself!"

"We didn't do anything!" Xiao Yu refused to admit.

He just carefully avoided the occasional mud balls under his feet and got close to the barrier.

She looked at the bottom of the quagmire. Through the thick mud, she let go of her senses and wanted to detect it, but Bai Jingyi's barrier was very powerful, shielding her completely.

Xiao Yu had no choice but to give up, but changed the topic:

"Auntie, you said that the Heart-Eating Gu is for the sake of life. Could it be that Han Yan's brother died for her?"

As he spoke, Xiao Yu stepped back and came to Qin Lin's side. Because she always felt that this barrier seemed to be shielding everything inside, but in fact it was full of an inexplicable dangerous atmosphere, which made her more frightened the closer she got, as if the thing had thorns.

"Yes and no." Bai Jingyi replied.

"Then he's not dead yet?" Qin Lin asked hurriedly before Xiao Yu.

"He is dead, but he is not dead either!" Bai Jingyi smiled half-heartedly.

She was wearing a floor-length black robe, which shone a faint dark green under the sunlight, like countless tiny gemstones dotting it.

Especially when she was floating towards her own barrier, her skirt was as wide as a black sky, and those shiny things looked even more obvious.

Those are the fragments of dragon scale crystal!

Xiao Yu's heartbeat began to accelerate, and his head began to heat up.

She fell into an indescribable feeling of boredom, as if she had some questions and guesses in her subconscious, but she couldn't put them into words.

"what happened to you?"

This strange feeling was finally interrupted by Qin Lin's concern.

Xiao Yu shook his head and planned to continue to see what Bai Jingyi was going to do next.

"I said he is dead because his flesh and bones are no longer alive. As his family member, you must know this." Bai Jingyi said again.

Her entire body was like a huge black butterfly, floating gracefully above the quagmire wrapped in a red barrier at noon when the sun was strongest in the endless forest.

But this scene looks really weird and uncomfortable.

"Yes, I saw my cousin buried with my own eyes. There is no lie." Qin Lin thought about it and nodded in praise.

"I say he is alive because among the twin Gu insects, the soul of the host that dies first will be trapped in the body of the other host and become a part of her over time...for eternity and life after life!"

Bai Jingyi stared into the dark quagmire with her narrow and beautiful eyes, and said in a low voice with a smile.
