The alluring woman's attitude was very sincere, and her eyes were surprisingly clear.
Her clarity made Ye Qiu feel somewhat dazed, as if she were a completely different person from the flirtatious and wanton woman he had first met.
But Ye Qiu knew very well that he couldn't believe what he saw with his eyes, and he had no interest in figuring out what the real her was like.
"I'll say it again, I have no interest in you, but I accepted the Crimson Dragon's command. If I have the opportunity, I will do my best to help your ancient planet Yinghuo. If I can save hundreds of thousands of lives, that would be a great merit," Ye Qiu said calmly.
"Yes, yes, young master, thank you, thank you."
The alluring woman was incredibly excited and followed closely behind Ye Qiu.
"What's your name again?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Yunfang".
"Yunfang, this is good soil."
"Is it rustic? In my hometown, many people say my name sounds nice."
"Really? Then let's just say it's a nice-sounding name. Look ahead, there's a black mist swirling around. I think there must be demons ahead. Yunfang, what do you think?" Ye Qiu asked.
“I also think it’s not simple; we should be careful,” Yunfang said.
"If there's any danger, I'll shield you in front of me the moment I see you," Ye Qiu said casually.
Upon hearing this, Yunfang's face paled slightly, and she clenched her hands tightly, remaining silent.
She was mentally prepared, knowing full well that she would not survive the trial alone.
Following Ye Qiu is the only chance.
Moreover, Ye Qiu has also gained the approval of the Crimson Dragon Token, making him the hope of the entire Yinghuo Ancient Star.
So even if it meant death, Yunfang was willing to die at Ye Qiu's hands.
But Yunfang also secretly prayed that Ye Qiu was not a truly wicked person.
A moment later, the two approached the area shrouded in black mist.
As soon as you approach this place, a bone-chilling coldness washes over you.
From within the black mist, low, guttural roars could be heard, as if a primordial beast were lurking within.
Yunfang trembled with fear and tried to grab Ye Qiu's arm, but she pulled her hand back halfway through.
Ye Qiu glanced at Yun Fang: "Why don't you go in and take a look first?"
"I...I dare not," Yunfang said, her voice trembling.
What if I make it mandatory for you to go?
"Then I'll go."
Yunfang mustered her courage and stepped closer into the black fog.
After he took a few steps, Ye Qiu reached out and pulled him back: "Never mind."
"Young master, as long as you keep your promise, even if you want me to die immediately, I will not disobey, really," Yunfang whispered.
"I don't need you to die. I was just testing you. You're not bad, much better than your senior brother," Ye Qiu said with a smile.
This was the first time he had shown a genuine smile in front of Yunfang.
Yunfang stared blankly at Ye Qiu, feeling an immense warmth emanating from him in that instant.
“Follow me. If you’re scared, you can borrow the hem of my coat,” Ye Qiu said.
"Thank you, Young Master Ye."
Yunfang immediately grabbed Ye Qiu's clothes.
She wasn't faking it; she was genuinely scared.
Soon, the two entered the black fog.
No sooner had they stepped in than a thunderous roar came from ahead, and a huge shadow suddenly descended.
In an instant, Ye Qiu reached out and grabbed Yun Fang, quickly dodging away.
boom.
The shadow fell and crashed to the ground, causing it to tremble violently. Golden light shone forth, dispelling the black mist and illuminating the surroundings.
Using the light, Ye Qiu could see the creatures within the black mist.
This is a giant ape covered in golden fur, with pale white eyes, which is extremely eerie.
"die."
The golden-haired giant ape spoke in human language and once again swung its terrifying ape arm, smashing it towards Ye Qiu.
With Yunfang in tow, Ye Qiu dodged a few times, bypassed the golden-haired giant ape, and rushed into the distance.
The golden-haired giant ape pursued, running wildly, roaring incessantly, its momentum overwhelming.
Ye Qiu sensed from its aura that this giant ape's cultivation level was ridiculously high, completely beyond his ability to fight against, and his only option was to flee.
After running for several miles, Ye Qiu saw that the road ahead suddenly opened up.
Calling it a road is an understatement; the avenue ahead is more like an unknown continent, stretching into a mysterious land with no end in sight.
Ye Qiu could even vaguely see the outlines of mountains in the distance.
"Could it be that we're getting close to the other world?"
Ye Qiu couldn't help but get excited.
But on second thought, that possibility is too low.
Just as Ye Qiu was lost in thought, Yun Fang suddenly pointed ahead and said in a trembling voice, "Young master, look, what we see ahead doesn't seem to be land, but a motionless red lake that stretches all the way to the deepest part."
"Yeah?"
Ye Qiu approached and took a closer look, discovering that it was indeed a brownish-red lake.
From a distance, one might mistake the land for being reddish-brown, but that's not actually the case.
Ye Qiu looked around again and found a fallen stone tablet on the ground nearby.
Ye Qiu straightened the stone tablet and saw that the words "Bitter Sea" were engraved on it.
"sea of bitterness?"
Ye Qiu couldn't help but gasp.
These two words have an inexplicable sense of intimidation.
"This sea is probably not simple. I'll test it to see if there are any dangers."
Ye Qiu raised his hand, channeled a stream of magical power, and sent it into the sea.
But when the magic power descended, it didn't cause the slightest ripple or wave.
This surprised Ye Qiu. He tried several more times and increased his magical power, but the result was still the same. The seawater did not move at all, as if his magical power was being swallowed up silently.
"There's definitely something strange about this."
Ye Qiu became cautious and did not easily step onto the sea surface.
roar.
Just then, a loud shout came from behind, and a terrifying figure over twenty feet tall came rushing towards them.
It was that enormous golden-haired giant ape that had caught up with them, its murderous aura overwhelming.
