In the dimly lit space, Lin Yu looked up.
The ceiling here is quite high, probably several tens of meters high.
However, this didn't seem to be a difficult task for him; he could probably get up there with a push of his legs.
However, just as he made a move, a sharp thorn from a string of vines under his feet suddenly scratched his skin.
"Love Flower?"
Lin Yu's expression changed slightly. Upon closer inspection, he saw that the ground was covered with vines, and the vines were covered with dense flowers!
So many love flowers!
Just as Murong Qing said, this thing is not long up there, but there are a lot of them underground!
However, he had already obtained the Love Flower, so there was no point in asking for more. He then planned to leave, but unexpectedly, as soon as he began to circulate his energy, he felt a sharp pain suddenly pierce his heart!
ah!
The pain was so intense that even this grown man couldn't help but groan.
What's going on?
Lin Yu looked surprised, and to be on the safe side, he did not continue to circulate his energy.
Splash!
Just then, a faint, rustling sound came from the pile of vines in the distance.
Lin Yu's expression changed slightly, and he shouted, "Who's there?"
"Hehehe! Hehehehe!"
The eerie sounds seemed to come from all directions.
Lin Yu's eyes immediately became cautious.
Just from that laughter, one can tell that this person is no ordinary person and is most likely a martial arts master!
Lin Yu glanced around carefully and discovered that the surrounding vegetation was full of scattered skeletons, who had been dead for countless years.
It gives one a chill down their spine; it seems this place is truly ruthless and ruthless, hiding countless dark secrets of the Murong family.
Splash!
The sound rang out again, and soon after, an old woman with tattered clothes and gray hair slowly crawled out of the vines.
The thorns of the love flower scratched her clothes, drawing blood, but she didn't react at all, as if she wasn't afraid of the love flower's poison at all!
After the old woman climbed over, she looked at Lin Yu with a curious gaze, as if she were both mocking and pitying him.
Lin Yu frowned and asked, "Who are you?"
The old woman sneered, "Who I am? Does it matter? You've been poisoned by the Love Flower. Within half an hour, your power will dissipate, your body will fester, and you'll die. Why should I tell you my identity to a dead man?"
The old woman shook her head, sighed deeply, and continued crawling into the distance.
Lin Yu's expression changed slightly. He saw that the old woman had lost both her legs! She was half-crippled and could only crawl on the ground, clinging to her hands.
Whose methods are these? They are far too cruel!
"Senior, wait a moment!" Lin Yu suddenly called out to her.
The old woman paused slightly, perhaps because she hadn't spoken to anyone in a long time. She turned her head and looked at Lin Yu a few more times.
"He has delicate features and is quite a handsome young man. It's a pity, men are all the same. Greedy people will all die, and you will be no exception!" After saying this, the old woman burst into maniacal laughter.
Lin Yu shook his head. "I'm not a greedy person, and I won't die!"
The old woman paused for a moment, then said disdainfully, "If you weren't greedy, would you have fallen here? Let me guess, you were probably caught by Murong Cheng for stealing the 'love flower,' which is why you were thrown down here, right? Haha!"
Over the years, many people who had designs on love have ended up in this situation.
In her view, Lin Yu would be no exception.
Lin Yu said, "I didn't steal it. Miss Murong led me here, and she picked the love flower for me!"
"Miss Murong?" The old woman was stunned for a moment, then immediately burst into a tirade, "She's not surnamed Murong, she's surnamed Qiu! She's a member of the Qiu family!!"
Lin Yu was slightly taken aback.
Qiu?
Lin Yu's words seemed to stir up the old woman's emotions, and she hurriedly asked Lin Yu, "Tell me quickly, how is that girl? Is she still alive? Qing'er, my daughter, is she alright?"
Lin Yu's expression changed, and he looked at the old woman in disbelief. "You are... Miss Murong's mother?"
"Didn't you leave Juechen Valley? How come you're here?" Lin Yu asked, looking puzzled.
"Answer me quickly, how is my daughter now?"
The old woman, looking anxious, suddenly leaped up from the ground, her sharp nails digging straight for Lin Yu's shoulder.
Lin Yu frowned, shrugged his shoulders sharply, and sent her claws flying.
The old woman was immediately shocked, her face showing an incredulous expression. "How is this possible? You were poisoned by the Love Flower, yet your power hasn't dissipated?"
This was all beyond her comprehension!
Because the Love Flower Poison is one of the most peculiar and potent poisons in the world! Once poisoned by the Love Flower, no one can escape its effects; those who can endure it for even a quarter of an hour are already unparalleled masters!
Unless one is an extremely powerful individual, they can only maintain this for seven or eight days at most before their power is exhausted and they die. Yet this young man in front of me is acting as if nothing happened!
Could he be the strongest among the young?
Upon thinking of this, she trembled with excitement and hurriedly said, "Young man, I didn't expect you to have such cultivation. How about this, the two of us cooperate. You will channel your power into my body, and I will have enough strength to break through the barrier and escape from this hellish place. What do you say?"
"A barrier?" Lin Yu frowned and looked up.
Above this space, there were indeed semi-transparent, net-like energy fluctuations. Moreover, the energy was chilling; it must be the barrier the old woman had mentioned.
Lin Yu frowned and sneered, "Why should I transfer my power into your body? Wouldn't that make me completely at your mercy? Why don't you just say you're transferring your power into mine?"
