Chapter 328 Advance or Retreat

Not only was the Cang Yun Sword pulled out, it was also shrunk to a size just right for Xiao Yu, indicating that its direction was very clear: it was for Xiao Yu.

This is an extremely rare phenomenon. Divine artifacts are arrogant and almost never condescend to cater to humans.

The choice facing them now is whether to continue moving forward after obtaining the Cang Yun Sword.

The three days had not yet passed and Ye Zi Road was still there. They could simply return along the same route and return to Fox Mountain to report.

but……

"You decide," Xiao Yu said, "whether to advance or retreat."

Xu Chuchu looked at the source of the golden light and finally said, "I choose to go in. Whoever is in there, giving us the Cang Yun Sword must not only help us kill the enemy, but also want us to help him. Give a peach, return a plum. We should go and take a look."

Besides, it’s not like them to retreat without fighting!

The two of them walked quickly towards the place where the golden light was.

After passing through two long corridors, we arrived at another side hall.

This side hall was not as spacious as the one outside, but it was also bare, as if it had been completely looted.

They didn't encounter any enemies. Occasionally, there were some moth larvae crawling on the ground and walls. They looked ugly and disgusting, but they were not aggressive and moved slowly, so they didn't clean them up.

After walking around to the innermost part and passing the stone roads on both sides, the two suddenly felt a dazzling sensation, and then saw a tall, transparent light body.

This ray of light blocked the middle of the road, its golden color was dazzling, and it was obvious that it was the source of the golden light along the way.

I forced myself to look over and endure the glare, and found that this light body looked like a wall, with the outline of a wall and clear thickness.

Xu Chuchu slowly reached out and approached, without touching, but she already felt a warm and friendly power.

"It's not aggressive." She said to Xiao Yu.

"Then try it." Xiao Yu didn't let Xu Chuchu try it first. He put his arm in himself. Seeing that there was no problem, he walked in.

Xu Chuchu followed, feeling the heat above her head, and suddenly felt like she had walked into a bathroom with a heater on.

They successfully passed through the wall of light and continued forward.

After walking a few steps, Xu Chuchu checked behind him as usual, fearing that there was an enemy following him. He turned his head and looked over, then cried out, "Ah!"

"What's wrong?" Xiao Yu turned around immediately, but before Xu Chuchu could answer, he realized what had happened and was also stunned.

He saw two other "him" and "Xu Chuchu". The "two people" were standing in the wall of light, talking to each other, as if they had no idea that the real him and Xu Chuchu had come out.

No, who is real and who is fake?

Maybe the two people who stayed inside were real, and the ones who walked out were illusions?

"Don't worry." Xu Chuchu suddenly said, "It's just our bodies, left inside."

She raised her hand and tried to pat Xiao Yu's shoulder, but failed.

The hand passed through his clothes and shoulders without any hindrance and stayed inside his body.

"We only have souls now?" Xiao Yu touched himself in disbelief and found that his body was just air.

So many things have happened in the past two years. If he hadn't met Xu Chuchu, he would still be a person who firmly believed that there are no ghosts and gods in the world. He didn't expect that he would become a ghost now.

"Well, it seems that the physical body is not allowed to enter here. The wall is the obstacle." Xu Chuchu looked back at the two people who kept repeating the same talking and laughing movements. "The body should be fine."

She suddenly jumped up and then floated in the air naturally.

Xiao Yu was stunned for a moment before he started to float up as well, feeling it was a wonderful experience.

"You're finally here."

A deep and powerful female voice sounded, the voice was distant and clear. It was obviously coming from inside, but it was so vast that it seemed to be sweeping in from all directions.

"It's the 'she' that the mistress mentioned!" Xu Chuchu reacted and immediately flew towards the voice.

The Mother of Life...is she a deity? Is she about to meet God?

The two of them drifted towards the inner hall. Just as they realized it was pitch black all around them, the hanging lamps on the wall suddenly lit up one by one, illuminating the entire hall.

The two of them saw the 'her' on the platform and were so shocked that their breathing stopped.

Not a god, not the Queen Mother... not any existence they imagined.

It turned out to be... a giant red dragon!

Dragons, there really are dragons in this world!

This dragon is not like the one on the imperial dragon robe, with a slender body and long beard. Its body is shorter and rounder.

She lay on the ground with her four paws folded on one side. She had two long horns of the same color on her head, and a pair of huge wings folded and laid flat on her back.

Xu Chuchu and Xiao Yu fell down unconsciously.

They never imagined that one day, when they saw a truly enormous dragon, they wouldn't feel timid and afraid, and wouldn't want to run away or fight...

It will only come from the unconscious awe and respect in my heart.

Even though I have never seen the dragon's strength or heard of its deeds, I still respect and love it from the bottom of my heart.

They now understood what the Madam meant by "the Mother of Life, the Origin of All Things."

When you get close to this red dragon, you can feel the vigorous power of life, the breath of all things awakening, and the impulse of hope.

She has hard dragon horns and scales, as well as sharp and aggressive claws. Her head does not have any of the gentleness and beauty of a human woman.

But she can give motherly warmth to those who see her.

When a creature is noble and sublime enough, even if she says nothing and does nothing, she is admirable enough.

…Even if she was just lying there weakly with dozens of moth larvae crawling on her body.

Yes, the dragon is almost dead.

Her scales, which should have been perfect and bright, were torn to pieces, and the larvae gathered in the areas where her scales were scarce, competing to eat her flesh.

She could only lie there helplessly, unable to offer any resistance.

Waiting for life to pass away in pain.

"How could this happen..." Xu Chuchu covered her mouth, then floated over and tried to use physiognomy to drive the larvae away.

But in her ghost state, she couldn't use any spiritual power at all.

Xu Chuchu simply couldn't imagine that, for such a warm and incomparably great being, someone would come here to maliciously hurt her.

Xiao Yu also used the Cang Yun Sword to stab the larvae, but it was useless. The sword seemed to have turned into a soul and passed through the larvae without causing any harm to them.

"No need to waste time." The red dragon struggled for a long time before opening his eyes with great effort.

"You're very kind. Even though you have the sword, you're still willing to come."

Her eyes were amber, reflecting the figures of the two people, empty and lifeless, but as if she saw through their lives.

If she wasn't sick, these eyes would be very bright and wise.
