Chapter 111 Demonic Land
Gu Shihan nodded, took the black jade token and put it in his arms, secretly glad that this trip had an extra layer of protection.
After a brief thought, she said to Shi Qinghan, "Brother, you should also take some of this powder with you, just in case you encounter any emergency."
Shi Qinghan responded and took some of the powder and put it away properly.
"Okay!" The two of them walked briskly to the towering tree.
Gu Shihan stretched out his fingers and pressed on the tree trunk a few times, and suddenly a faint light flashed on the ground, like the twinkling stars in the night sky.
The two of them stepped into the teleportation array without hesitation. At this moment, Shi Qinghan tightly grasped Gu Shihan's soft little hand and said gently: "Little sister, you must hold my hand tightly, only in this way will we not be separated during the teleportation."
Hearing Shi Qinghan's words, Gu Shihan nodded, and her clear eyes revealed anticipation for the unknown journey and a hint of nervousness.
In an instant, a powerful force drew them in.
The two of them felt the world spinning in front of their eyes, their heads buzzing, and their bodies lost their sense of balance.
The intense dizziness made it almost impossible for them to breathe, but they never loosened their tightly clasped hands.
When everything finally returned to calm, the two slowly opened their eyes and found themselves in an unfamiliar forest.
The land of this forest seems to be covered with a thick layer of ink. The deep black color makes people feel fear and uneasiness.
The black soil stretched out silently, like a dead abyss, swallowing up all signs of life.
The plants surrounding this land seem more like strange creatures from another world.
They no longer show the common emerald green color, but are replaced by patches of dark tones.
These black branches and leaves intertwined together to form an eerie and terrifying picture that makes people shudder.
"Little sister, have we arrived in the demon world? There is such a strange place in our spiritual world?! No wonder we couldn't find any trace of those demon cultivators, it turns out they hid themselves in such a deep corner!" Shi Qinghan said with eyes wide open and a look of astonishment on his face.
"That should be right. The situation is unclear right now. Brother, we'd better act cautiously." Gu Shihan looked around cautiously and responded in a low voice.
The two of them walked forward in fear and trepidation, and before they knew it, almost two hours had passed.
Finally, a dilapidated city appeared in the field of vision ahead - Moke City.
The city looks crumbling and its walls are mottled, as if it has gone through countless years of vicissitudes.
"Little sister, this city is too dilapidated. It seems that those demon cultivators are not having a good time here. What is going on?" Shi Qinghan was surprised when he looked at the scene in front of him.
Indeed, just as he said, most of the demons he met were very cautious.
They lowered their heads, walked hurriedly, and did not dare to look others in the eye.
Only those who are dressed in black robes embroidered with silver red spider lilies will create a breeze when they walk, with arrogant looks on their faces, as if they have a special status and power in this place.
In order to blend into the city smoothly without attracting the suspicion and attention of others, the two of them deliberately disguised themselves as cautious and timid.
They were seen following closely behind the tall demons in front of them, walking slowly towards the city gate in an orderly line.
Along the way, they carefully avoided the demon cultivators whose robes were embroidered with red spider lilies, for fear of accidentally colliding or looking into their eyes, thus exposing their identities.
After a long wait, the two successfully entered this dilapidated and unfamiliar city.
As soon as they entered the city, they felt cheated. The outside looked so shabby, but the city looked pretty good and prosperous.
The streets are bustling with all kinds of shops.
The two looked around and finally chose a teahouse that looked relatively quiet and tidy and went in to sit down.
The demon boss immediately came over with a big smile on his face and asked enthusiastically, "My two lords, welcome to our store! What would you like to order?"
Gu Shihan knew nothing about the food here, but in order to prevent the boss from finding out, she gritted her teeth and said loudly, "Give each of us a portion of your restaurant's signature dish!"
When the boss heard this, the smile on his face became even brighter. He nodded repeatedly and said, "Okay, please wait!" Then he turned around and left quickly.
Not long after, the boss came back with two large bowls.
There were two bowls of green food in the bowl, emitting a strange smell, making it difficult to tell what it was.
"My lords, this is our restaurant's signature delicacy - the green rotten flower! Take a look at the color and appearance. Wow, it's definitely a first-rate delicacy!"
The boss, with a big smile on his face, proudly introduced them to the two people in front of him.
He was seen holding a tray in both hands, on which were placed two bowls of unidentified green objects emitting a strange smell.
Shi Qinghan frowned, staring at the two bowls of unappetizing-looking food in front of him, and his stomach suddenly felt churning.
He tried hard to suppress the urge to vomit, waved at the boss with a pale face, and said in a trembling voice: "You...you go down first!"
Gu Shihan on the side seemed relatively calm. She looked around curiously, her eyes falling on the tables of other guests around her.
To her surprise, nearly half of the dining tables were filled with these strange green things.
Moreover, the guests' reactions varied. Some ate voraciously and with relish, while others only tasted the food cautiously.
Seeing this scene, Gu Shihan thought to himself: Is this really a local delicacy? Why do people have such different attitudes towards it?
But judging from the appearance and smell, I'm afraid I can't afford it anyway.
Although they were very reluctant in their hearts, in order not to arouse other people's suspicion and attention, Shi Qinghan and Gu Shihan decided to disguise themselves.
The two of them put on a happy expression, picked up their chopsticks and pretended to taste the food.
In fact, those so-called "delicacies" did not enter their mouths at all, but were cleverly smuggled into the space they carried with them.
At this moment, a sharp and piercing scream was suddenly heard.
Everyone looked in the direction of the sound, and saw a few people in black robes with red spider lily patterns embroidered on their clothes appeared on the street at some point.
They were surrounding several demons and quickly started a fierce fight.
