"It's over...we've been found out."
Zhou Mu felt a chill in his heart and immediately tried to pull Nezha away, but when he stretched out his hand, he found that there was nothing around him.
Just then, a burst of intense flames shot into the sky, illuminating the dim world with almost perfect light. Zhou Mu was shocked to see Nezha standing on his Wind and Fire Wheels, with his Universe Ring and Hun Tian Ling swirling around his waist, looking incredibly dashing.
Clearly, the flames originated from Nezha at that moment; he was like a small sun, illuminating the dark world.
splash ...
Nezha's movements were extremely swift and decisive. Wherever the Samadhi True Fire swept, it emitted a sizzling, burning smell. Then, the Green Demon Spider was suppressed and dared not speak. It could only crawl on the ground, trembling.
"That's it?"
Zhou Mu was surprised.
At this moment, Nezha jumped down and stood gracefully in front of Zhou Mu. She tilted her head slightly, exhaled a breath of slightly hot turbid air, and said softly with a smile, "Master, let's continue to go inside."
Zhou Mu nodded.
Because of this sudden change, the intense light that burst forth seemed to illuminate the valley for a moment, and the creatures within the valley seemed to be stimulated instantly, letting out piercing roars.
It was very noticeable at first, but thankfully it gradually weakened later.
The world returned to its dim state, exactly as it had been before they entered.
"Xiao Jiu...where are you?"
Once fully immersed in the area, Zhou Mu became oblivious to the dangers around him; what surfaced in his mind was worry for Ye Mujiu.
After all, we haven't seen each other for so many days. If we do see each other again, what should we do?
It has to be said that he has to make the worst-case scenario plan at this moment.
Walking along the narrow passage, at the end of the line of sight, one can vaguely see an altar.
The group quickly arrived at the altar. As soon as their feet touched the altar, the array on its surface seemed to be activated, and it began to spin wildly. Streams of dazzling spiritual energy flew into the air, as bright as a constellation of stars.
Zhou Mu was extremely anxious at this moment.
After the commotion subsided, nothing changed. Just then, a bright golden light suddenly emanated from the small altar atop the two steps, followed by the appearance of a large door.
It looked as if someone had forcibly condensed it with powerful spiritual energy, making it appear illusory.
A surge of powerful spiritual energy swept out, illuminating the entire world in the blink of an eye.
On both sides of it, white skulls floated, wisps of cold air emanating from them, and a faint green light emanated from their eye sockets.
Zhou Mu remained calm.
Without hesitation, he stepped forward. The instant his figure disappeared into the Gate of Life and Death, the roars of the surrounding white skulls intensified, as if they were trying to tear through the inconspicuous barrier and force their way into the forbidden area of the altar.
Nezha watched with great interest from the side, and only after belatedly realizing that Zhou Mu was missing did he panic.
"Master...Master...have you been captured by demons? Remember, make sure they wash you thoroughly, then you'll taste better..."
"Come in."
Zhou Mu said helplessly.
Nezha then noticed the suddenly appearing Gate of Life and Death. He was certain that the voice came from inside the Gate of Life and Death, and he breathed a sigh of relief. Before long, he ran inside.
The world inside the Gate of Life and Death is truly wondrous.
That's a bit strange.
It was hard to pinpoint exactly what was strange; the world around us was golden, enveloped in a faint golden light.
Zhou Mu stood quietly on the ground, looking at Nezha who had just entered, and asked, "Have you seen this scene before?"
Nezha shook his head and said, "I've never seen it before, but it looks somewhat familiar."
He paused, pondering for a long time. When he finally realized what he meant, his eyes widened, and he said in a slightly shocked voice, "Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace..."
"Really?"
This is a fantasy world! It's already quite rare for Nezha to appear here, so how come Laozi's Eight Trigrams Furnace also appears? Could this be fake?
Zhou Mu expressed his confusion.
Nezha couldn't give a clear answer either, he just shook his head quietly and didn't say anything. It was his intuition, the so-called sixth sense is a very mysterious thing, but if you asked him to give a specific answer, he really couldn't.
Seeing this, Zhou Mu didn't say anything, just smiled lightly and quickly walked forward.
Regardless, he was now standing on this land, which was not as hard as he had imagined. It gave him a soft feeling, as if he were walking on clouds.
He lowered his head, picked up a handful of yellow sand, took a little and tasted it; it was a bit bitter.
Nezha followed suit, but compared to Zhou Mu, he was much bolder, grabbing a handful of sand and stuffing it into his mouth without daring to do anything else.
Then, the pungent smell enveloped him, and he vomited repeatedly, saying with a bitter expression, "It's so bitter..."
Zhou Mu smiled, brushed off non-existent dust from his body, got up and walked away into the distance, with Nezha following closely behind him.
"Master, where are we going?"
"I don't know either." Zhou Mu looked blank, but when his gaze fell into the distance, a strange smile suddenly appeared on his face. He smiled and said, "I think I know where I'm going."
With that, he strode away.
Nezha, not knowing the reason, could only hurry to catch up.
The two walked for about an hour before Zhou Mu stopped.
It should be noted that time does not change in this place, so even after a long time, the sky remained golden and unchanged.
Zhou Mu seemed tireless, blindly continuing forward, while the little guy with short legs hopped along, almost unable to keep up.
Little Nezha took a few deep breaths and said, "Master, wait for me... or you can carry me on your back."
After saying that, a smile appeared on Nezha's face. Zhou Mu shook his head, "Walk by yourself. You're such a big kid. Don't you feel ashamed to make me carry you?"
Upon hearing this, Nezha laughed and said, "Master, strictly speaking, I am only ten years old now."
"Ten years old? Who gave you that age?"
"As long as I look ten years old, then I am a ten-year-old child," Nezha said, puffing out his little chest.
Zhou Mu glanced at Nezha, nodded, and said, "He does look like a ten-year-old toddler."
After saying that, he didn't do anything else, and then he walked away. This made Nezha feel very wronged. He pouted and said, "You bad master, you don't know how to care about people at all."
