"I'm not quite sure about that!" Mu Qing frowned. This was the first time he encountered such a difficult situation! It really was true that there are always people better than you. This was true not only for people, but also for things! The world is truly full of wonders!
"My light beam can point the direction, but..." Qi Chu was a little embarrassed, his handsome face flushed slightly. "It's just that it's a little inaccurate, and I always make mistakes!"
Hearing Qi Chu mention his "light direction", Mu Chen subconsciously shrank back, his eyes full of rejection. He had suffered a great loss from this trick before, and he didn't want to let the "tragedy" happen again!
Mu Huan looked at Mu Chen's reaction and felt like laughing. Curious, he asked, "Achu, how inaccurate is it?" Even if it wasn't accurate, it was better than wandering aimlessly. At least it could give him a direction.
"Absolutely not!" Mu Chen's voice suddenly rose, expressing his refusal with all his heart. "We can just go in any direction we want!" Because any direction would at least be safer than the one Qi Chu was leading.
Qi Chu was a little sad. He wanted to help, but he was a little unreliable.
"Actually, I think that no matter what, what is destined to happen will happen. It's not a bad idea to let Achu lead the way." After saying this, Mu Huan wanted to bite his tongue to commit suicide, but he couldn't undermine Qi Chu's self-confidence.
"Are you serious?" Mu Chen stared at Mu Huan closely, as if he wanted to stare a hole in her.
"Really?" Qi Chu's tone was filled with joy and happiness. Mu Huan's scalp suddenly felt numb, and he could only nod and agree.
"It's up to you!" Mu Chen seemed to have accepted his fate and continued to wipe his black sword, but the cold air around him was blowing!
"Oh, Ah Chen!" Tan Tai Luo clapped his hand firmly on Muchen's shoulder. "We must have confidence in Ah Chu! We are partners, we should trust each other! Right?"
Looking at Tan Tai Luo's hand on Muchen's shoulder, Mu Qing's eyes were a little obscure. He rubbed his fingers and suddenly felt a little uncomfortable. What was going on?
"Trust, I trust!" Mu Chen carefully lifted up Tan Tailuo's sleeve and put down Tan Tailuo's hand. Is this woman going to kill him? Looking at Mu Qing's eyes, Mu Chen was still very sensible.
Tan Tai Luo didn't understand why, but he didn't think too much about it.
"Then, shall I begin?" Even Qi Chu's words were filled with uncertainty. Mu Huan suddenly wanted to twist her head off and rip open her mouth. It wasn't for anything else, but because she suddenly felt that Qi Chu might really be unreliable.
This was the first time Mu Huan had truly witnessed Qi Chu's attack. White spiritual energy flowed through Qi Chu's hands, a beautiful move. Countless tiny dots of spiritual energy converged into a huge circle of light, illuminating the path ahead.
Mu Chen, standing by, covered his face and didn't want to watch anymore. He seemed to have anticipated the miserable state they would be in. But then he thought again, even without Qi Chu, they wouldn't be able to find their way forward in a short while.
It's better to give it a try. The secret realm is full of dangers anyway. It's dangerous wherever you go. In this way, Mu Chen has been comforting himself in his heart.
"Come this way!" Qi Chu collected his spiritual power and looked at Mu Huan and the others with a smile. He hoped that nothing would go wrong this time. If something did go wrong, his trust would be in jeopardy!
"Let's go!" Mu Qing went first. He was, ahem, the oldest among the group, the big brother, and he always had to be in the front.
Several people moved slowly in the direction indicated by Qi Chu. They were surrounded by a vast expanse of yellow sand, with no end in sight, which made people feel a little panicked.
"Wait a minute!" Mu Huan whispered to Mu Qing and the others who were still walking.
"What's wrong? Huanhuan!" Tan Tai Luo turned around and saw Mu Huan with a serious look on his face.
"Did you hear any sound?" Ever since she was little, Mu Huan had always been very alert to danger, especially to spirit beasts. Her intuition told her that the sound reaching her ears was a great danger.
Several people stopped and listened carefully. After all, at a time like this, there couldn't be any mistakes. One mistake wouldn't simply be a loss; it could lead to death.
"I, I didn't hear any sound!" Tan Tailuo touched his head. There was no sound at all! "Huanhuan, are you too nervous and hallucinating?"
"No!" Mu Qing on the side said, "I heard it too. It sounds like some kind of spiritual beast, and it lives in groups." Although the sound was weak, it could still be detected if you felt carefully.
Tan Tai felt a chill run down her spine. It was a gregarious spirit beast, and after her last time in the extremely cold land, she was still traumatized. Although the water qilin had finally driven it away, she still felt something was amiss.
"So what do we do now?"
"This place is too empty, there's no way to hide!" This was the first time he'd encountered such a situation. He didn't even know who his opponent was, but the fear was already setting in. Mu Huan frowned, sensing the enemy getting closer and closer.
There is no time to think of a solution!
"Be careful!" Mu Chen exclaimed, but it was too late.
The surrounding mud and sand began to collapse towards where they stood, moving towards the center like flowing water. Mu Huan and the others had no time to react, their bodies unconsciously sinking downwards.
The more you struggle, the faster you sink.
"This is a desert mud river. Don't struggle. The more you struggle, the faster you will sink!" Mu Qing raised his voice. Because of the mud and sand, the surroundings were a little noisy, and he was afraid that they couldn't hear him.
The so-called Desert Silt River isn't a true river, but rather a name derived from the collapse of unstable silt. The saying "a thousand-mile embankment collapses because of an ant hole" is roughly the same as this. It's a bit like a swamp, but not as overbearing. Still, it's enough to bring Mu Huan and his group to their knees.
The mud and sand stopped when it was about to reach the waists of several people. However, several people were almost exhausted, their bodies were buried in the mud and sand, unable to move at all, and their faces were full of fatigue.
"Is everyone okay?" Mu Qing, knowing more, didn't struggle much, so he retained a lot of strength. It was the others, facing danger instinctively, who struggled too hard at first, causing some to lose strength.
"It's okay!" Mu Huan, who was the first to sense the danger, gasped. At least he could still respond now.
"I never thought this place would be so perverted!" Mu Huan tried to relax and not tense up. This way, at least he could retain some strength to deal with unknown enemies.
The sudden landslide was definitely not a coincidence. There had to be something behind the scenes, but Mu Huan wasn't sure what it was. The only thing she knew for sure was that the hidden entity would soon reveal its true identity.
"I've heard about the power of the desert mud river a long time ago, and today I finally experienced it firsthand." Mu Qing smiled frankly. He was the only one who could make jokes to make everyone happy at this time.
