Chapter 891: Help!
This time, Gu Yin finally experienced what teleportation was! In the blink of an eye, she was by the lake. She hadn't even had time to react, and the words she had just said still felt like they were on the tip of her tongue!
Gu Yin mentally called out 001.
"Did you notice anything in that brief moment?"
001 said helplessly, "No, it's too fast! I can't do it unless my master is here."
Gu Yin: "...Your master spoils you a bit."
001 snorted: "Of course! My master is amazing! Although I'm a good-for-nothing, I've been with her for so long, watching her go from knowing nothing to knowing everything. Our relationship isn't that of master and servant, it's that of friends!"
Alright, Gu Yin didn't delve any deeper into their way of getting along. After looking around, she couldn't find Chi Xing.
"Chi Xing arrived even earlier than us, so why haven't we seen him? Could it be that he ran out of spiritual energy and fell halfway down the road?"
Jin Gui laughed and said, "She's up to no good. Those people won't be getting here today. Let's go, let's walk back. Maybe we'll see a good show later."
Gu Yin raised her eyebrows as if she had just thought of something: "Let's go! Let's go see a show!"
In the sky, the five people sitting inside the mechanical bird covered their bodies and trembled.
"No, no offense, but shouldn't your mechanical bird be updated to reflect the times? It should at least have a windshield!"
"Exactly! Even without a windshield, you should at least bring a blanket or something for protection! By the time we got to our destination, we felt like we'd all turned into popsicles!"
The Mohist disciple sighed helplessly, "I used to use it back home, where it's spring all year round. This is my first time flying over this snowy mountain. I... I... whew, how was I supposed to know it would be so cold! Does anyone have any calligraphy supplies for warmth? Please lend me some! My hands and feet are almost stiff!"
After saying that, he moved closer to the body cultivator and said, "You're the only one who's warm. You body cultivators have such good physical fitness. I'm so envious!"
Looking at the three people hanging on him, Ti Xiu sighed, "How about we fly lower?" He was genuinely afraid they would fall!
"No, going too low would require going around the mountain, and we're in a hurry! Just bear with it a little longer! Or you can eat some of my bugs? For keeping warm!"
Seeing the plump, white insect in her hand, the group shuddered and quickly turned away.
"It's not that cold, I can manage!"
"Me too!"
"I feel even colder!"
"It's definitely colder now! Damn, why is it bumping around like this?! Mo family! Come check what's going on!"
As soon as they finished speaking, the mechanical bird began to shake more and more violently! They could even hear it squeaking and creaking!
"The Mohists! Is this bird about to collapse?! You have to take a look!"
"I'm watching it now! That's strange, the weather hasn't changed, so why is it unbalanced? I just used it a couple of days ago!"
"Wow!!"
"Damn it! I should have gone underground!"
"The Mohists! You're so unreliable!"
"Help! I'll die if I fall!"
"Hey Mo! Your mechanical bird really needs to keep up with the times! It doesn't even have a parachute! Aaaaaaah!"
"I'll get back and fix it! First, we have to get back! How did it all turn upside down?! Ancestor, save me! Ancestor, if you don't help, your grand-disciple will be destroyed! Ancestor! Master! Waaaaah!"
The Mo family patriarch, who was in seclusion, sneezed several times in a row: "Is the weather getting colder? Have the disciples bring some warm clothes over."
As soon as Gu Yin and the others reached the snow mountain, they saw Chi Xing swimming happily in the clouds not far away, while five black dots in the air were falling rapidly downwards!
"Falling from that height, won't he be turned into a pulp?" Xiao Sheng saw it too and couldn't help but ask. That's too terrible! Luckily, he was just a nobody!
"Chi Xing knows what he's doing, don't worry. Let's go, Gu Ran, you transform into your true form and lead the way. I suspect those who can burrow underground are nearby! Let's go watch the show!"
Gu Ran nodded, transformed into a dragon, and carried the group of people as they crawled quickly.
Underground, Bai Xiaobai was leading a group of people through the underground.
"It's so dark down here! I thought it was all mud down there, but there are mountains here!"
"Not only are there mountains, but the one we just passed by, wasn't it illuminated? Didn't you see green in some places? That's a jade mine! But mining here is not easy, and it's near the base, so it's even less likely to be disturbed."
What was that sound?
Bai Xiaobai listened carefully: "The sound of the river is probably an underground river. It's okay, I've encountered it before, we can just go around it."
The sound grew closer, and Bai Xiaobai roused herself and walked ahead.
"Wait a minute, why does this sound seem to be coming from above me?"
"I think so too, are we underwater?"
Bai Xiaobai also looked puzzled: "I've never crossed a lake before. Usually, when I encounter one, I just pass by it. There are too many underground rivers underneath, so it's not easy to cross."
The more they listened, the more uneasy they felt.
"That sound, that drop? Could it be a waterfall?!"
"That's not right! My Earth-遁符 (Earth-遁符) has the effect of avoiding waterfalls and cliffs! This is experience passed down from our ancestors! How could I have gone wrong?"
"But the sound of this water is definitely a waterfall! It sounds really big and deep! There's a waterfall right behind my house, I can't be mistaken! Hurry! Turn around! The sound is getting closer!"
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaobai immediately activated the talisman, but it was completely useless! He took out other talismans as well, but still could not activate them.
"What's wrong? Why are you still moving forward!"
Bai Xiaobai gritted her teeth: "My talisman has been tampered with, it must have been Chi Xing who did it! Now we only have two choices. One is to tear off the earth-遁符 (earth-遁符, a type of talisman) and stay still in the same place, but if we are not discovered for a long time, we will die from lack of oxygen. The other is to continue forward, we may rush into the waterfall, what is there, everything is unknown."
Choosing either option carries risks.
"Why don't we choose to stop? We'll suffer a bit, but it won't be death."
"Too late! Holy crap! It's a cliff!"
"Aaaaaah! Holy crap! That's brutal! What's down there?!"
"Show me your best skills! My God! Cough cough cough cough! I'm choking to death!"
"None of them work! They don't work! Damn it! When will it reach the bottom?!"
"Aaaaaah, Master! Help! Sister Gu Yin! Help! I'm afraid of heights!!!" Bai Xiaobai's heart couldn't take it just looking at the bottomless pit below!
