The two looked around vigilantly and were surprised to find that the thick fog around them seemed to have become a little thinner because the monster disappeared.
"Maybe this is a good sign." Gu Qingze said with a slightly relaxed look.
Chu Lingxiao nodded slightly: "I hope so, but we must not take it lightly."
As they continued forward, the ground beneath their feet became more rugged and uneven.
"Watch your step!" Chu Lingxiao reminded anxiously.
Before he could finish his words, Gu Qingze staggered and almost fell down.
"This damn place is really full of dangers." Gu Qingze smiled bitterly helplessly.
Chu Lingxiao quickly reached out to support him: "Walk slowly, don't be in a hurry."
Then he used his spiritual power to transmit a message: "Anyway, we don't know the exact location of the Sansheng Flower, so we can only explore it step by step. There's no point in getting anxious now."
Gu Qingze heaved a long sigh when he heard this. Ever since they entered Xuanyin, they had been attacked by various monsters and had very little time to breathe. Not to mention searching for the "Three Lives Flower" in such a dangerous situation... it would be extremely difficult.
There is no way. We can only take things one step at a time. Anyway, they are now exploring the Xuanyin place. If we think optimistically, maybe the "Sanshenghua" is really here.
As I walked slowly, three forks in the road suddenly appeared in front of me, like a fork in fate.
Gu Qingze fell into deep thought and subconsciously looked at Chu Lingxiao, asking for his opinion: "Lingxiao, which path do you think we should take?"
Chu Lingxiao gently closed his eyes and slowly spread his mental power to the surroundings, trying to sense the surrounding aura: "There seems to be a faint fluctuation of demonic power on the left side of the road."
"Then let's go left." Gu Qingze made a decisive choice.
Chu Lingxiao smiled softly when he heard this: "You trust me so much?"
"Of course. If I don't trust Ling Xiao, who should I trust?" Gu Qingze answered without hesitation.
"Besides... there's no energy fluctuation on the other two roads. Either... they're just ordinary roads, or... they're even more dangerous, or... whatever it is, it's better to choose the left one."
As Gu Qingze was speaking, he suddenly paused, and his eyes looking at Chu Lingxiao became softer and softer.
"Besides....I trust my intuition."
Chu Lingxiao stared at him with his golden eyes and asked, "What intuition?"
Gu Qingze said seriously, "Intuition is... I believe what I believe, so the choice Ling Xiao made at this moment must be meaningful and correct."
After saying this, he revealed a very shallow and fleeting smile. Fortunately, Chu Lingxiao had good observation skills, otherwise he would not have noticed it.
Chu Lingxiao smiled helplessly: "It must be correct... To be honest, even I don't dare to be so confident, but... I like your statement."
Gu Qingze patted him on the back: "Then let's move on!"
"Um."
The two of them resolutely walked into the left fork, and the light became increasingly dim, as if it was going to swallow them up.
Suddenly, a sinister and terrifying laugh echoed back and forth in the narrow passage.
"Who is it?" Gu Qingze shouted loudly in an instant of alertness.
However, only the creepy laughter continued to be heard, but no one was seen.
Although Chu Lingxiao's expression was a little grim, he still analyzed calmly: "Maybe... this is not laughter at all, nor is it the sound of a human or a demon, but... something else."
Gu Qingze clenched the sword in his hand: "Anything else?"
Chu Lingxiao nodded. "The illusion here easily produces echoes. Those creepy-sounding laughs might be made by other things. After many echoes...that's why they sound like laughter."
The sinister laughter still echoed around, but after Chu Lingxiao's explanation or speculation, it didn't seem so scary anymore.
Gu Qingze and Chu Lingxiao stood back to back, their eyes sharp as torches, vigilantly observing every move around them.
"Ling Xiao, even if it's not laughter, it's the sound of something. Can you feel the source of this sound?" Gu Qingze asked in a low voice.
Chu Lingxiao frowned and shook his head vigorously: "This sound seems to come from all directions, it's hard to grasp."
At this moment, countless black tentacles suddenly stretched out from the walls on both sides of the passage and attacked them at lightning speed.
Gu Qingze swung his sword like the wind, decisively cutting off the approaching tentacles and shouting, "Be careful, don't get hit by these things!"
Chu Lingxiao cast a spell, instantly igniting a raging flame, trying to stop the tentacles from approaching.
But those tentacles seemed not to be afraid of the flames, and continued to surge forward like a mad tide.
The two men fought and retreated, and were gradually forced into the corner of the passage, with nowhere to retreat.
"This is not a solution. We have to find a way to break through!" Chu Lingxiao said loudly.
Gu Qingze's eyes narrowed, as if he had made a great decision: "Watch me!"
He took a deep breath and continuously poured his spiritual power into his palm, emitting a bone-chilling light that instantly froze the surrounding tentacles into ice.
Chu Lingxiao took the opportunity to use a fireball to smash the frozen tentacles into pieces.
Gu Qingze was a little surprised: "It works!"
Chu Lingxiao also smiled: "I said, as long as we cooperate well, we won't get half the result with twice the effort."
The two took the opportunity to break through the tentacles' encirclement and continued to move forward along the passage.
The two took the opportunity to break through the tentacles and continued to move forward along the passage.
