The abyss was like a huge mouth that swallowed everything, with no bottom in sight. There seemed to be something in it staring at the two of them. Ming Luo was terrified and immediately hid behind Ye Zhihan, never daring to look into the abyss again.
The fear of the deep sea is not without reason. When facing this unknown and terrifying place, people's reactions are no longer controlled by their personality and emotions, but by the most basic fear instinct.
"Ye Zhihan, is there something underneath..." Ming Luo was so scared that he didn't dare to move and just hid stiffly behind Ye Zhihan.
Ye Zhihan didn't feel much better either. As the only person on the Suma continent who had learned shadow magic, his ability was to use the ink-like power of shadow. He should not be afraid of the darkness. For example, Talisa's ghost sandstorm could not do anything to him. But when he looked into the abyss, he still felt uncomfortable. It seemed that there was really something terrible here.
"Let's get out of here!" Ye Zhihan immediately pulled Mingluo up. They were just out to investigate the situation. There was no need to take risks for clues. He was a lonely man and his life and death were in the hands of God, but Mingluo was still a little girl and she had family waiting for her. Ye Zhihan didn't want Mingluo to lose her life in this world that did not belong to her.
An accident happened. When Ye Zhihan and Ming Luo tried to enter Liuguang City, they found that a circle of barrier appeared outside Liuguang City. The barrier blocked them outside, leaving them with nowhere to go!
Under the protection of the barrier, the splendor of Flowing Light City gradually faded. The city, once so radiant, now resembled a dead city. Soon, not even the ruins could be seen. But Ming Luo knew that all this was an illusion. Flowing Light City was clearly before her, she just couldn't see it.
The scene of the city transforming into a living being gave Ming Luo a bad feeling. She asked, "Ye Zhihan...did Liuguang City drive us out?"
Ye Zhihan glanced at the darkness that was constantly surging out from the abyss behind him, as well as the terrifying monsters in the darkness. He didn't care about the etiquette between men and women, and directly put his arms around Mingluo's slender waist, hugged her and swam upwards desperately.
"You've been fooled." A trace of murderous intent flashed through Ye Zhihan's eyes. He tightly grasped Ming Luo's waist and tried his best to escape from being swallowed by the abyss.
Mingluo naturally didn't dare to look back, but she could feel Ye Zhihan's nervousness. His jawline was very tense and his hands were very strong.
She knew that they were running for their lives and couldn't slow down even for a second.
The darkness of the abyss following the two spread rapidly in the sea water, like ink spilled into a clear stream. The darkness seemed to have independent thoughts. It only chased Ming Luo and Ye Zhihan in the deep sea, completely ignoring other creatures in the sea water.
During the race between life and death, the black shadow almost grabbed Ming Luo's skirt several times. Fortunately, Ye Zhihan threw out a shadow spear to repel the darkness, allowing them to continue to escape.
Soon the two of them escaped to the territory of the silk jellyfish. The waters here were covered with deadly silver threads, and there was almost nowhere to hide. However, there were wolves in front and tigers behind. Only by breaking through the waters where the silk jellyfish were located could they have a chance of survival.
Ye Zhihan hugged Mingluo and tried to pass through the silver threads as quickly as possible. If he couldn't avoid it, he would use the shadow thorn to attract the silver threads and wrap them up, and then the two of them would pass through.
After a while, the two of them wasted too much time dodging the silver threads, and the darkness of the abyss soon caught up with them again. They didn't seem to be afraid of the poisonous tentacles of the dark jellyfish. The overwhelming darkness directly surrounded them and wanted to trap them to death. Even though Ye Zhihan was very good at shadow magic, his speed underwater was always slower than the darkness and monsters from the abyss, and soon they were surrounded by darkness.
The dark jellyfish shone with the brilliance of the galaxy, and the rhythmic soft light reflected the face of the monster in the darkness.
Mingluo saw it, saw everything.
In the dense darkness, monsters emanating from a black mist, giant monsters the size of trucks, with yellow-black fangs almost as long as Mingluo was tall, rolled, roared, and bit in the darkness, step by step approaching.
"Ye Zhihan..." Mingluo's voice trembled a little. She grabbed Ye Zhihan's clothes tightly, and Ye Zhihan also held Mingluo's waist tightly.
Ming Luo was wearing a neon-colored dress, the glittering colors were extremely dazzling in the terrifying darkness.
She dared not breathe, her whole body was terribly cold, her chin trembling uncontrollably, and she called out desperately again: "Ye... Ye Zhihan..."
Ming Luo was surrounded by abyss monsters and his heart couldn't stop trembling.
She had a premonition that even if there was a strong figure like Ye Zhihan this time, he would not be able to protect her. In the Suma Continent, she was like a chicken at the mercy of others, with no power to fight back.
After the dark giants surrounded Ye Zhihan and Ming Luo, they rushed up all at once. Ming Luo and Ye Zhihan were knocked away by the powerful impact of the giants, and she also lost contact with the Fin Tail Jade.
After leaving Ye Zhihan and losing the Fin Tail Jade, Mingluo fell into deeper despair. This time, she was afraid that there was no escape.
Suffocating, the pressure of the deep sea, chaos in her eyes, blood spurting from her mouth, black monsters vying to tear her body apart...
"Mom, I can't be filial to you in this life. I hope I can stay with you with Dad in the next life." Her tears melted into the sea water. Taking advantage of the last second of consciousness, she seemed to see Ye Zhihan rushing towards her regardless of the obstruction of Yinsi and the monster, but she was getting farther and farther away from Ye Zhihan, and her body was dragged into the bottomless abyss by the horrifying monster.
"Thank you..." She used her last bit of strength to mouth the words, hoping Ye Zhihan could see it.
…
Ye Zhihan once promised the girl that he would send her back to the human world after the cross-border selection competition. Ming Luo smiled sweetly at that time, her bright eyes curved into small crescents, and her cute dimples appeared. She said that she would take Ye Zhihan to travel around modern society, eat all kinds of human delicacies, and let him see the beautiful world he lived in.
Ye Zhihan told Mingluo that she was the only human on the entire Suma Continent. He promised to protect her safety, but now the girl he held in his hands was taken away by the abyss. When she was about to die, she even said thank you to him personally...
Something seemed to be breaking in Ye Zhihan's heart. He clenched his fists, and his nails dug into his palms, oozing drops of blood. This feeling was just like when he heard the news of Sister Ling's death. At that time, he believed that Sister Ling had escaped to the human world, and now he also believed that Ming Luo was not dead!
He didn't know when this girl occupied such an important place in his heart. They had only known each other for a few days, but they got along as easily as childhood sweethearts.
When she smiled, he was in a good mood;
She was timid, so he protected her warmly;
She shed tears, and he also became depressed...
Now that her life or death is unknown, he must fight to the death!
In the deep sea, Ye Zhihan turned into a black shadow, his eyes glowing red, and rushed into the abyss like a desperate beast.
