The water flow is constantly impacting the base and bottom of the stone statue, leaving obvious erosion marks.

Some of these marks are as deep as ravines, while others are as shallow as fine lines, all intertwined together.

Meanwhile, the stone statue and the ground around it were covered with a thick layer of slippery moss and black mud, making the whole scene even more eerie and terrifying.

Xi Xi carefully observed the watermarks on the stone statue, some deep and some shallow, some winding and curving.

These watermarks are like marks left on the earth by the god of time with his paintbrush, faithfully recording the trajectory of the water flowing over time and reflecting the changes in water level at different times.

In some places, the watermarks are shallow and dry, appearing as a pale gray, while in other places, the watermarks are deep and moist, even reflecting light.

Xi Xi even saw some stones and debris blocked by the stone statue, all piled up at the foot of the statue.

Some items that appear to have sharp edges and varied shapes are also smoothed and rounded by the water flow.

She made a mental note of the location and continued looking ahead.

Just then, the little white duck, which was about to skim over a corner covered with water droplets, suddenly trembled!

Xi Xi followed its gaze and saw a white duck exactly like it appear in front of her at the bend, as if it were another version of herself that had seeped out from the wall.

This ghostly "white duck" is exactly the same size as the little white duck, and even its snow-white wings are identical, making it both ethereal and real.

Xi Xi's expression changed. Had another entrance to a space where scenery could be reversed appeared?!

"Don't be afraid! Don't change the flight path! This is just an illusion!" Xi Xi shouted in her heart, while subconsciously clutching the hem of her clothes tightly.

Due to excessive nervousness, a thin layer of sweat quickly appeared on her palms.

Because she knew all too well that if the little white duck were to enter the Reversal Space alone, the consequences would be unimaginable...

"Yes, yes! That's it! Don't change the flight direction!" Xi Xi continued to encourage.

However, she keenly noticed that the little white duck's flight was becoming abnormal. Its originally stable flight path was now turbulent, as if it would lose its balance and fall at any moment.

"If you're really scared, close your eyes and follow my instructions!"

Just as the little white duck was about to collide with the eerie mirror clone duck, Xi Xi's vision went black.

The little white duck seemed genuinely frightened and closed its eyes.

At this moment, Xi Xi could only hear the wind whistling past her ears during the flight, followed by a bone-chilling cold.

This cold was not the usual chill; it was like a sinister spirit, flowing through the blood and taking away the warmth from the surroundings.

The little white duck's body trembled violently involuntarily, and it couldn't help but open its tightly closed eyes.

But in that instant, the ghostly figure vanished like smoke, turning into a wisp of water vapor that merged into the surrounding air.

The terrible cold vanished, leaving only the little white duck flapping its wings, still shaken.

Xi Xi breathed a long sigh of relief and immediately used her mind to tell the little white duck to turn back.

The little white duck, stunned in place, finally reacted. It quacked loudly as it flew back quickly, its raspy voice echoing throughout the entire sewer.

Xi Xi had never seen a little white duck fly so fast. It seemed to be using all its strength to escape in an explosive gliding motion, clearly terrified.

Back in the car, the little duck smelled the familiar scent of Xi Xi and, as if she had survived a disaster, immediately fainted in Xi Xi's arms.

This look is reminiscent of the little white duck that fainted from fright when it first met Xi Xi.

Xi Xi comforted it tenderly for a moment, then gently placed the little white duck into the warm carpet. She took off the synesthetic necklace and put it back on the cow-patterned cat, Aura.

"Your task now is to keep an eye on the little white duck, understand?" Xi Xi said to Aura with a serious expression. The duck seemed to still be sulking about taking the necklace, not even lifting its head, its tail occasionally slapping the ground.

Xi Xi cleared his throat, clutched his chest, and said with feigned heartbreak, "Aura, as the eldest brother, you bear a heavy responsibility! Your half-sister, Little White Duck, is all you have left!"

Big brother! You have a heavy responsibility! The cow cat, who had been sulking, suddenly brightened up. It shook its head, walked over impatiently, and then sat down next to the little white duck with its paws tucked in.

The next second, Xi Xi heard Aura's inner thoughts: "I just can't do anything with you... Fine, big brother will keep you company~"

Xi Xi turned her head and chuckled secretly. She returned to the driver's seat, sorted out her thoughts, and her expression became serious again.

Just after six o'clock, Xi Xi pulled off the blanket and got up from the driver's seat. She skillfully opened the light screen to sign in, received the "Good Fortune" sign, and then summoned the magic brush to draw the Emerald Dawn Light twice.

After placing the two brand-new "little suns" into two other micro-planting pots, Xi Xi moved to the kitchen space, looked at the detailed steps in the recipe, and started cooking the blue mushroom soup.

With everything arranged, Xi Xi checked the time again before waking her mother up.

Chu Zhiqin yawned, and was startled when she saw the time. She complained to Xi Xi for waking her up so late.

Even so, when Xi's mother saw the soy sauce noodles already prepared on the table, she couldn't help but feel a warmth in her heart.

Last night, the three men were worried about the safety of the sewers, so they decided to take turns keeping watch. Each of them estimated that they only slept for three or four hours at most.

As always, Xi's mother wanted Xi to rest a little longer, so she deliberately delayed waking her daughter by ten or twenty minutes.

Xi Xi naturally understood her mother's good intentions and couldn't help but feel sorry for Ms. Chu, so she simply took care of Chu Zhiqin's cooking duties for the morning as well.

Before long, all three of them were ready. Before leaving, Xi Xi drank a bowl of blue mushroom soup.

Since the three of us are traveling together, we can save some money. One person only needs to eat the light-emitting food to reliably illuminate the road ahead.

Everyone takes turns eating the light-emitting food, which prevents them from feeling too full, improves efficiency, and saves money—why not?

Perhaps it was because the Valan mushroom soup could shield them from monster interference to some extent, but the journey was surprisingly smooth.

When encountering various forks and turns, Xi Xi did not hesitate to continue along the original path, and soon arrived at the stone statue based on her memory of the early morning.

With the help of the light, Xi Xi was able to see the stone statue clearly.

Water was flowing at the foot of the stone statue, and to her surprise, in just a few hours, this spot seemed to have blocked out a lot of new trash.

And among all this trash, something was faintly gleaming with an unusual light…
