Chapter 95 Mo Hannian's First Feeling of Disappointment at Ye Li's Ignoring Him
"Ah! No, let me go!"
As she got closer to the stone tablet, Su Ying'er struggled violently, as if there was something terrifying below.
"I don't want to go down! No!"
Ye Li found Su Ying'er's reaction at this moment very strange. She had clearly seen Su Ying'er go down last night and come back up safely, so what was she afraid of now?
The more she didn't want to go down, the more Ye Li insisted on taking her down.
Just as the two were struggling, Su Ying'er suddenly cried out, "Sister Jiang Li, you can just say you don't want to go down. I'm willing to go through fire and water for Fifth Senior Brother, as long as you spare my life!"
This abrupt remark made Ye Li realize something.
Sure enough, a low shout rang out the next second.
"stop!"
Not far away, Mo Hannian was staring at Ye Li with a livid face.
He wasn't wearing a bamboo hat, and his face, covered in black markings from poison, made him appear even more sinister and terrifying.
When he woke up just now, he heard that Ye Li and Su Ying'er had gone to help him find the antidote, and he was touched for a moment.
Although Ye Li was the one who caused his poisoning, he could forgive her to some extent if she was willing to venture deep into the heart of the Mad Sand Ridge to find the antidote for him.
But to his surprise, he saw Ye Li forcibly dragging Su Ying'er downstairs as soon as he arrived.
"Fifth Senior Brother!"
Upon seeing Mo Hannian, Su Ying'er, with tears streaming down her face, threw herself into his arms, sobbing, "Fifth Senior Brother, why are you here? Did you encounter any danger on your journey? Are you feeling unwell?"
Those words of concern stood in stark contrast to Ye Li, who stood indifferently opposite him.
He lowered his gaze and looked at Su Ying'er. "I'm fine. How about you? Are you hurt?"
Hearing his long-lost gentle tone, Su Ying'er hurriedly shook her head, "I'm fine. As long as Fifth Senior Brother is well, Ying'er is fine."
Ever since Mo Hannian learned that the bowl of medicine Su Ying'er had thrown away was his last hope, he had been very cold towards Su Ying'er.
Although she didn't mean it, the thought of missing out on a healthy life made him feel disgusted when he looked at Su Ying'er.
But now, looking at Su Ying'er's tear-streaked face, Mo Hannian's heart suddenly softened.
Ying'er would go through fire and water for him even for her unintentional mistake, but what about Ye Li?
She was clearly the culprit, yet not only did she refuse to take risks for him, she forced Ying'er to scout ahead for her!
What happens next? Is she going to steal Ying'er's credit so she can continue to act superior?
If he's a good-for-nothing, then she's a vicious woman with a heart of stone!
Mo Hannian stopped looking at Ye Li and lowered his head to wipe away Su Ying'er's tears. "Don't cry, I'm fine. Find a safe place to wait for me, and I'll go down and find the antidote myself."
"Why-"
"What's wrong?"
Su Ying'er called out to Mo Hannian as if she wanted to say something, but she swallowed the words back. She said obediently, "It's okay, I'll wait for you to come back."
However, after Mo Hannian walked towards the stone tablet, Su Ying'er shook her head, "It's a pity that you can't come back. But at least you know why you were poisoned before you die, so you can die with a clear understanding."
...
On the other side, Ye Li had already begun walking along the Moon White Lake using that special footwork.
With Mo Hannian there, he definitely wouldn't let Su Ying'er go down with her, so she didn't want to talk to them anymore.
She needs to know what secrets are hidden beneath Moonlight Lake.
Also, is Chu Wei really the masked man?
As she took her last step.
In an instant, the pitch-black stone tablet changed.
A gust of cold wind blew by, and the originally hard stone surface seemed to slowly soften into flowing mud.
Then, something was imprinted through the stone tablet, first as a dot, then slowly forming an outline.
As the mark became clearer, Ye Li was horrified.
What was printed on it was a face!
The face struggled desperately to break free from the stone tablet, its shape distorted and twisted from the pressure...
It suddenly collapsed, turning into a pool of mud.
Then, more and more faces began to squeeze out.
Their mouths were wide open, as if they were enduring great pain.
In a daze, she seemed to hear a shrill, ghostly howl.
Ye Li was so shocked by this bizarre scene that she was speechless.
Mo Hannian, who had followed, was also shocked by what he saw, and even forgot the question he had originally intended to ask Ye Li.
Those terrifying faces filled the entire stone tablet, as if they were about to burst out of the wall at any moment.
Mo Hannian couldn't help but take a step back, his voice tight, "What is this thing?"
Ye Li didn't know either; she hadn't paid attention to the stone tablet last night, and she didn't know if these things were on it when Su Ying'er went in.
But since she was already here, she had no choice but to make this trip.
Since her body is already dead anyway, the worst that can happen is she dies again.
Thinking of this, she raised the Shadow Token in her hand.
Mo Hannian suddenly grabbed her wrist and said coldly, "I don't need your pretense. I'll cure my own poison myself. I don't need you to accompany me."
Ye Li was speechless, thinking that Mo Hannian really dared to think.
She pulled her wrist back. "When did I say I went down there to find the antidote for you? Do you think I would risk my life for someone like you? I went down there to find Chu Wei, it has nothing to do with you."
Mo Hannian was taken aback.
He belatedly felt ashamed and annoyed.
It's all because Ye Li used to be so focused on finding all sorts of antidotes for him that he assumed she was there to find medicine for him whenever he heard she was coming to Moon White Lake.
He suppressed the unwarranted disappointment in his heart and said resentfully, "That's good! I don't need your extravagance!"
"..."
Ye Li was too lazy to argue with him, so she simply raised her hand.
Sunlight reflected off the stone tablet, and after a moment, a red beam of light fell upon it.
Ye Li frowned. She clearly remembered that when Su Ying'er used the Shadow Token last night, the light was white. How come it turned red now?
Is it because it's daytime now?
Before she could think it through, a huge suction force pulled her into the stone tablet.
The stone wall was right in front of her, and the horror of seeing those eerie faces still lingered in her heart, so she instinctively stepped back.
But the next second, countless invisible hands reached out from the stone wall and grabbed her tightly.
Mo Hannian, standing nearby, was in the same predicament. He had never witnessed anything so bizarre before, and he shouted, "Who! Who's there... um..."
His voice sounded as if it had been muffled.
Ye Li was in no better shape; she was gripped tightly by those hands and pulled into the stone wall.
The moment you enter, all the surrounding light vanishes.
She felt as if she were enveloped in a sticky swamp, her mouth and nose covered, unable to breathe, and sinking deeper and deeper.
She tried to struggle, but she couldn't move her body at all; she felt as if she were in a void, with no point of leverage.
In a daze, she seemed to see all those faces from before surrounding her, opening their mouths wide and letting out strange laughs.
It sends chills down your spine.
Ye Li tried to separate her soul from her body, but to her surprise, she found that she couldn't do it.
This substance seems to be able to seal a person firmly inside it.
It's like...
The thick fog in the camphor forest!
The suffocation made her chest feel like it was about to explode, and invisible hands were pulling her downwards relentlessly.
Gradually, her vision grew darker and darker, and she fell into that boundless nothingness.
