Yu Kai immediately became interested when he heard Murong Shuang say this, and asked eagerly, "Sister Shuang, do you know who it is?"
"Some of them have rumored that it was left behind when the Great Immortal Zhenyuan broke through to the Heavenly Venerable. But the Great Immortal Zhenyuan has never made any statement, and the specific facts have always been a mystery. But it is a fact that a Taoist ancestor was killed here, and it is an existence that absolutely cannot be provoked!" Murong Shuang responded solemnly, with deep awe in his eyes.
"Is the Great Immortal Zhenyuan the immortal who planted the ginseng fruit tree and could easily capture Sun Wukong?" Yu Kai's eyes lit up and he asked curiously.
"Yes, it's him. He has been arrogant all his life and never gets involved in any competition. But everyone knows that his strength is unfathomable." Murong Shuang looked into the distance and suddenly frowned slightly.
"What's wrong? Sister Shuang!" Yu Kai followed her gaze and saw a faint light emanating from the underground swamp. If Murong Shuang had not been familiar with the law of darkness and was extremely sensitive to slight changes in light, Yu Kai would have found it difficult to detect.
"What is that thing?" Yu Kai and Murong Shuang both flew over and stopped above the swamp. Murong Shuang closed her eyes and sensed it carefully.
"It should be some magical treasure related to the moon, buried deep underground." Murong Shuang looked focused and said seriously, with a hint of expectation in his voice.
"Is this thing useful to you? I'll take it out for you?" Yu Kai looked at Murong Shuang and asked firmly, his eyes full of determination.
"When I cultivate the Law of Darkness, I fear the interference of moonlight. If I had a magic treasure that could block out moonlight, I would be even more powerful, making my nighttime combat even more potent. However, where there are magic objects, there must be powerful demonic beasts guarding them. It's too dangerous down there, so we'd better not set foot there." Murong Shuang had just finished speaking when Yu Kai plunged into the swamp without hesitation. This sudden action startled her, and she immediately became fully alert, her heart in her throat.
Soon, there were violent fluctuations from underground, and the roar of a powerful monster was heard. The ground around them began to tremble violently. Then the swamp seemed to have exploded with earth-shaking force. Thick columns of water shot up into the sky, and mud sprayed like a rainstorm.
Murong Shuang quickly swept the mud away from her surroundings, glancing nervously downwards. Then, she saw Yu Kai, covered in mud, being sent flying. He slammed heavily into a distant mountain, creating a massive crater. A resounding boom echoed. Countless earth and rocks rumbled down like a torrent, filling the air with smoke and dust.
"Yu Kai!" Murong Shuang shouted anxiously, her voice full of concern, and rushed over quickly.
"No..., I'm fine!" Yu Kai responded from the pit, his voice slightly weak. He shook off the dirt that was pressing down on him and struggled to his feet. He had wounds on his body, and blood was slowly flowing out.
Murong Shuang immediately rushed in, grabbed his mecha's large hand, and pulled it out. She quickly wiped the mecha's face clean. She asked in a blaming tone, "Why are you so reckless? Where there are spiritual treasures, there must be powerful monsters. Are you seriously injured?"
"No, nothing!" Yu Kai chuckled. He quickly rushed towards the swamp again. "Wait for me, Sister Shuang. I'll find you something good!"
"What are you going to do again?" Murong Shuang was a little annoyed and yelled at Yu Kai, "You are injured!" She was anxious and quickly followed him.
"Roar!" The sound of fierce fighting came from the swamp. The terrible energy fluctuations caused Saturn to shake violently, as if the earth was shaking and the sky was about to collapse. The whole space was filled with a suffocating feeling of oppression.
Murong Shuang did not dare to be careless and immediately rushed towards the roar below. Before she rushed in, she saw a huge figure rushing out, scaring her so much that she retreated hurriedly.
A flesh worm as huge as a mountain shot out from the ground. It rolled several times in the air, roared, and rushed down again. Its ferocious appearance was terrifying.
Murong Shuang immediately swung her sword towards its body. The powerful magic sword made a series of bangs and sparks as it struck its body, but it failed to cause any substantial damage. Instead, it numbed Murong Shuang's arm.
The fleshworm sensed her presence and spewed streams of black liquid from its mouth, shooting towards her like long arrows. Murong Shuang used her uncanny agility to dodge, but was still struck by a long arrow. The sharp arrow pierced her shoulder directly, and the powerful inertia carried her flying backwards, hitting the ground hard, leaving a large crater.
Before she could even stand up, the giant fleshworm opened its bloody mouth and rushed over, trying to devour her. Murong Shuang was so frightened that her face turned pale and her heart was filled with despair.
Suddenly, a familiar voice rang out. "Dare to hurt my Sister Shuang? Die!" She immediately looked in the direction of the voice and saw a massive sword beam descend from the sky, carrying an unmatched momentum, as if cleaving the entire world apart. The terrifying strike of the sword directly severed the massive fleshworm in two. It crashed into the ground with a thunderous thud, sending up a cloud of dust and blood.
Yu Kai turned into a streak of light and quickly rushed to Murong Shuang, picked her up by the waist and quickly fled away. Behind him, huge flesh worms roared and chased them, stirring up a gust of wind and dust that covered the sky and the sun.
Yu Kai activated the Law of Wind with all his might, then used the Law of Poison to mask his presence. He flew an unknown distance, but he finally escaped their pursuit. He landed on a high ground, quickly retreating from his tattered mecha. He looked exhausted and breathless. Looking at Murong Shuang, whose face had turned pale, he said with some self-reproach, "Sister Shuang, bear with it for a moment. I'll detoxify you."
Murong Shuang looked at Yu Kai, who was also covered in wounds, yet still cared for her. She couldn't help but feel a sense of deep emotion and nodded. Yu Kai immediately pressed his hand against her back, forcing the black liquid out. Streams of Wood Principle quickly surged towards her wounds. A tingling sensation spread across her, and Murong Shuang knew her wounds were healing.
Soon Yu Kai was sweating profusely. Murong Shuang also felt that she was much better, so she said: "Yu Kai, I'm fine! You should heal yourself quickly!"
Seeing that Murong Shuang was indeed much better, Yu Kai said "oh" and stretched out his hand. Then he quickly took out an exquisite jade pendant and handed it to Murong Shuang, "Sister Shuang, this is for you!"
Murong Shuang gently took the crystalline jade pendant, which shone with a faint moonlight. She immediately realized it wasn't just any ordinary spiritual jade. She also noticed the ancient Chinese characters for "Moon Spirit Jade" were inscribed on it. She turned her gaze to Yu Kai and asked, "Is this the reason you provoked those fleshworms?"
"Hmm!" I noticed that there was moonlight scattered on it, and it was guarded by these fleshworms, so I wanted to take it out and give it to you. Yu Kai felt a little embarrassed at this time and said, "I took it out, but I didn't expect to hurt you!" He touched his head, looking very embarrassed, like a child who had done something wrong.
"Those flesh worms are so powerful, aren't you afraid of death?" Murong Shuang said a little angrily, her eyes slightly red, but her heart was full of emotion.
"I... I didn't think too much about it at the time. I just thought that thing should be useful to you, so I wanted to get it and give it to you!" Yu Kai lowered his head, looking a little embarrassed.
