Chapter 165: The Island and the Immortal in the Mist

The face that was originally as calm as water gradually twisted and deformed, and the complexion became increasingly ugly from the initial paleness, even showing a creepy and hideous look.

Blore thought to himself that this was not the right thing to do. He knew that he could no longer sit there and wait for death.

Estimating that the time was almost up, he hurriedly bent down, carefully picked up the little sea otter beside him, and gently placed it on Nansong's cheek.

At the same time, Ma Tuan did not dare to delay for a moment and quickly reached out to pull out the roots of tea and wheat ears that were entangled in people's hands.

When he successfully pulled out the tea plant ears, he was not surprised to find that their leaves had already withered and died, showing no sign of life.

What’s even more disgusting is that the rhizomes are covered with bits of red, purple and even black rotten flesh, emitting a pungent and unpleasant stench.

The stench spread like a plague in an instant, filling their entire area.

Faced with such a disgusting scene, Ma Tuan felt his stomach churning. Although he had experienced it once, there was no way he could get used to this kind of thing.

He still endured the discomfort and hurriedly stuffed all the tea and wheat ears into a pre-prepared bag, and quickly sealed the bag tightly, for fear that any trace of stench would leak out.

Seeing that it was effective, Bai Di followed suit.

Even so, the two unconscious people still showed no signs of waking up, as if they were cast under a sleeping spell.

Their originally hideous and distorted faces had gradually returned to calm, but this did not alleviate the worries of others at all.

"At this point, there's no other way... Let's just carry them on our backs and go."

Ma Tuan said decisively, and before he finished speaking, he quickly bent down and carried Bai Di steadily on his back.

At the same time, he also picked up the backpacks belonging to them on the ground, doing it in one go without any delay.

Seeing this, Blore on the side nodded without hesitation and said, "Okay!" Then he carefully carried Nansong on his back.

At this moment, the vine turned back into a vine at an unimaginable speed, and turned into a powerful spiritual force as fast as lightning, quickly returning to the hemp group.

In this way, the two men carried their unconscious companion on their backs and slowly stepped into the freezing cold sea water.

They moved forward quickly, step by step, sometimes sinking into knee-deep sea water, and sometimes stumbling on uneven rocks.

Due to the dense fog, the entire island is shrouded in a mysterious veil. From a distance, it looks like an illusory mirage, appearing and disappearing, making people yearn for it yet elusive.

Not far away, a vast forest came into view.

The forest was lush and verdant, with various shades of green interwoven together to form a magnificent picture.

Gray-green and copper-green blend and transform gradually; tea green, brown and tea color are dotted in between just right; there are even the faint bean green and water-colored leaves, like shy girls, half-hidden in the dense branches and leaves.

The breeze blew gently, and the leaves rubbed against each other, making a rustling sound, like an ancient ballad humming softly, as if whispering the mysterious story that has been hidden in this forest for a long time.

"How come we're in a forest again? And on top of this vast ocean."

Blore thought to himself, his face full of surprise.

Ma Tuan, who was standing by, was also very surprised: "Yes, it is really very strange."

The two of them slowly stepped onto the beach. Blore couldn't help but look back. An indescribable strange feeling kept lingering in his heart, making him feel vaguely as if something was following them like a shadow.

At this moment, without any warning, he felt something suddenly hit his foot.

Blore lowered his head hastily to check, and saw that besides a few scattered stones under his feet, there were also some seaweed that had been swept ashore by the sea and tightly wrapped around the surface of his shoes.

At the same time, the originally huge "jellyfish" had returned to its previous appearance at some point.

It first cast its gaze towards Nansong, then turned its head like a human and looked at Blore.

Then, something unexpected happened - the "Jellyfish" suddenly spoke: "You can call me Peach Blossom."

Its sound is crisp and pleasant, yet with a hint of ethereality.

Then, it chuckled and said:

"Haha, actually I have met you before, but I guess you have forgotten it a long time ago.

The most urgent thing right now is for you to find a place to shelter from the wind and rain. I can't keep talking."

"Oh...I see!" When Blore heard the "jellyfish" in front of him actually speak, he was shocked at first, but soon he felt that it was as he expected.

For some reason, he had felt a vague sense of familiarity since he first saw this strange jellyfish.

Now that it can speak human language, this sense of familiarity becomes even stronger.

As Blore looked at it carefully, he felt that the jellyfish was very similar to the mysterious woman pulling Nansong that he had seen in the huge temple before.

Especially the tentacles used to pull the southern cabbage, which also have a light flower color.

However, compared to the tentacles in front of him now, those he saw at that time were obviously much larger, and their shapes were more hideous and terrifying. They were completely different from the transparent and seemingly harmless ones in front of him.

Ma Tuan, who was standing aside, exhaled heavily, with a helpless look on his face.
