Chapter 126: Seeking the Dragon King (Part 2)
"What's wrong with us?" Tian Yuyuan asked, rubbing his head.
"This fog should be released by the mirage!" Chu Ruanruan said.
"What is a mirage?" everyone asked in confusion.
"It's recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas that the mirage is the offspring of the dragon. It lives in the water, swallowing clouds and spitting out mist to confuse passers-by. When people die, it will eat their corpses." Chu Runrun explained.
"Then we almost got eaten just now!" Tian Yuyuan said fearfully.
Chu Qi smiled and said, "It's not likely to be eaten. This dragon is not a real dragon, and its offspring is certainly not a real dragon. It can only confuse people and cannot eat people."
"We have already met the dragon's son. It seems that we will soon meet the Dragon King!" said Chu Runrun.
After resting for a while, everyone set off again.
The sky gradually darkened, and the further we went, the denser the woods became, and the less light there was.
Chu Runrun led the way with Dahei. Dahei's eyesight and sense of smell made him a good explorer.
"Woof!"
Dahei suddenly shouted, then broke free from the rope and rushed forward.
"Dahei!"
Chu Ruanruan and others immediately chased after him.
I followed Dahei all the way to a crevice in the rocks that only one person could pass through.
Big Black was too wide to squeeze in, so he could only stand outside and bark.
"Woof! Woof!" Dahei wagged his tail to signal Chu Runrun to go inside.
Chu Runrun roughly tested the gap between the two cliffs. Apart from her and Ge Hanlin, only Chi Longfei was thinner.
Ning Yu, Ning Xuan and Tian Yuyuan are all fitness experts, and those with broad shoulders and thick backs will definitely not be able to pass.
As for Chu Qi, her curves were so good that anyone trying to squeeze in would definitely get hurt, so only three people could get in.
"You guys wait for me outside, I'll go in alone!" Chu Runrun said.
"No! I want to go in too!" Chu Qi said hurriedly.
"Sister, are you sure you can make it?" Chu Runrun raised her eyebrows and looked at Chu Qi's chest.
Chu Qi's old face flushed: "It's okay for me to pinch it!"
"Forget it! Even if you like to strangle it, big brother won't like it either!" Chu Runrun said with a smile.
Chu Qi's face turned even redder, and Ning Yu coughed lightly and said:
"You better not go in, lest you get... hurt!"
"I'm thinner, so Chu Runrun and I will go in!" said Chi Longfei.
"And me! Ruanruan, I can go in too!" Ge Hanlin said hurriedly.
"You two are weaker than the other. If anything happens, I will have to protect you. It's better for me to go in alone!" Chu Runrun said.
"But what if something happens to you..." Ge Hanlin stopped talking halfway.
"I can just wait at the end. If anything happens, I will leave immediately and will never cause you any trouble!" Chi Longfei said.
Chu Ruanruan thought about it carefully before nodding and saying, "Then Chi Longfei will go in with me. I will tie the rope around my waist, and I will pull the rope if anything happens."
"good!"
After Chu Runrun tied the rope around her waist, she leaned sideways and squeezed into the crevice between the rocks. Chi Longfei followed.
After walking for ten minutes, Chu Ruanruan saw the end. There was fog at the end, but it was just ordinary fog and would not confuse people.
Chu Ruanruan put on the mask and looked at Chi Longfei before leaving.
"Be careful. If anything happens, leave immediately and leave me alone!"
"Be careful yourself!"
Chu Ruanruan's figure was swallowed up by the fog in an instant.
As soon as Chu Runrun left, Chi Longfei's aura changed instantly. Looking at the fog, the tension in his eyes was replaced by disdain.
"How dare a mere spirit act so presumptuously here!"
Chi Longfei narrowed his eyes slightly, and in the blink of an eye, his dark eyes turned into scarlet blood-red.
Through the pitch-black fog, Chi Longfei's gaze followed Chu Ruanruan.
There was also a dense forest behind the crevice. Chu Runrun walked very carefully because the fog was too thick. With her eyesight, she could only see an arm's length away from herself.
If she keeps walking like this, she will definitely get lost inside.
Chu Runrun took out some paper figures from her bag, sent them out to investigate the situation for her, and then she returned to the entrance.
Seeing Chu Ruanruan retreat, Chi Longfei immediately regained his original nervous demeanor and asked hurriedly:
"Chu Ruanruan, what's wrong?"
Hearing Chi Longfei's voice, Chu Runrun frowned slightly. She was clearly still a few steps away from Chi Longfei, but in such thick fog, she still couldn't see Chi Longfei clearly. How did Chi Longfei see her clearly?
"I'm fine! I asked the paper man to investigate, just stay here and don't move!" Chu Runrun said.
Through the eyes of the paper man, Chu Runrun saw nothing but thick fog and a vast expanse of white.
Is the Dragon King not here?
Just when Chu Ruanruan was about to recall the paper figures, one of them was pierced through the body by the dragon's energy.
Chu Runrun's face turned pale. The paper man was connected to her mind. If the paper man was destroyed, she would also be hurt, but fortunately the damage was not serious.
The Dragon King appeared.
Chu Runrun directed the paper figurine to chase the Dragon King. In the mist, she could only see a shadow that looked like a dragon's tail.
Soon, the dragon's tail also disappeared, but the surrounding fog also became much thinner. A cave about ten meters high appeared in front of them, and powerful dragon energy emanated from it.
The paper man was blown more than ten meters away by a strong wind. In the darkness, two eyes like lanterns flashed by.
"There really is a dragon!" Chu Runrun exclaimed.
Suddenly, Chu Ruanruan's paper figures were lifted up by a force. The force did not hurt the paper figures, but only lifted them slowly upwards.
There was a cliff above the cave, covered with vines. Chu Ruanruan understood what it meant.
"You want us to get down from here?"
The force put the paper man down and then returned to the cave.
Chu Runrun frowned in confusion. What on earth was the Dragon King going to do?
As she was thinking, the rope around her waist moved, and Chu Ruanruan immediately turned around and went back.
After squeezing out from the crevice, Chu Ruanruan told everyone what had just happened.
"Following the direction of the paper man, we should be able to find the Dragon King, but I don't know why the Dragon King wants to guide us there."
"No matter why, if we don't go in, those people outside who are corroded by the dragon energy will be doomed!" Chu Qi said.
Chu Runrun was still worried. She didn't want to implicate so many people by accompanying her on the adventure, but she knew even more that these relatives and friends would never abandon her.
"Sister, just in case, we have to make some second-hand preparations!" Chu Ruanruan said.
Chu Qi took out a talisman from her bag and handed it to Chu Ruanruan: "This is the Thunder Talisman that Dad left us. Once it is activated, even the Dragon King will have to drink a pot of wine."
Chu Ruanruan held the talisman paper and took a deep breath: "I hope I won't need it!"
After making the decision, everyone set off for the top of the mountain.
Soon, it was dark and they were still halfway up the mountain to their destination, the cliff.
"Let's take a break and eat something." Chu Ruanruan said.
