"Will you go?"
In the deep valley of disaster, Xuan Shuzhi asked Hua Shi.
Hua Shi looked down at the dagger in front of him. He knew exactly what he had to do now, and also knew what was the most important thing at this juncture. He was silent for a moment, and did not immediately take the dagger. He only raised his eyes to look at Xuan Shuzhi in front of him, and asked in a low voice: "If I rescue Fang Wei at this time, can he really stop the monster in the abyss?"
The people in front of him exchanged glances and nodded seriously.
Xuan Shuzhi even whispered: "Believe me, you won't regret saving him."
Hua Shi was slightly stunned when he heard this. If Fang Wei could stop the monster in the abyss, then saving people would naturally be the most correct decision for him now. But for some reason, he vaguely felt that Xuan Shuzhi's words were not what they seemed to be.
He still had some doubts in his heart, but that did not stop him from raising his hand and steadily taking the dagger engraved with the spell from Xuan Shuzhi's hand.
Holding the dagger tightly in his palm, Hua Shi turned silently and walked towards the center of the blood mist. However, just as he took a step, another figure appeared on the horizon in the distance. The figure was so fast that it was almost difficult to see clearly. In just a moment, he came in front of Hua Shi and stopped him from going forward, saying: "No matter what your reasons are, I can't let you rescue Fang Wei."
The person who came was Ji Yuan, the master of the spiritual way.
Hua Shi's eyelashes trembled slightly, and he opened his mouth to speak again, but Ji Yuan first looked at the dagger in his hand and frowned, "Do you really want to help them?"
Everyone looked at Hua Shi in silence, and in an instant all eyes were focused on Hua Shi.
Hua Shi held the dagger tighter, and did not flinch at all in the face of Ji Yuan's questioning. He nodded and said, "I agree."
Even though he had experienced many struggles, he also understood that Fang Wei was someone who had hurt Liu Qishuang, but the current situation forced him to rescue her. Since he had promised, he would definitely do it. As for whether Fang Wei would endanger Xuanqing Continent after he came out, and what they would face next, Hua Shi had no way of knowing now, but he believed that at most he would work hard to cultivate and seek justice for Liu Qishuang.
Xuan Shuzhi and the others were probably waiting for Hua Shi to speak, and the moment Hua Shi said he agreed to save people, Lu Yao rushed to Ji Yuan without any courtesy, raised his palm and slapped him away: "He has already agreed, so don't waste your energy."
Ji Yuan said coldly: "Get out of the way!"
Lu Yao did not give in at all. Not only that, Wen Zhong, Bai Heng and others also tried to stop Ji Yuan's actions at the same time, while Xuan Shuzhi immediately said to Hua Shi: "Go in quickly."
Hua Shi pursed his lips and nodded, then ran quickly into the depths of the blood mist with the dagger in his hand. This time he ignored Ji Yuan's voice behind him.
As the blood mist in front of him gradually became thicker, the surrounding scenes became less clear and the sounds of fighting behind him gradually became distant. Hua Shi walked in the bloody fog and had no idea where he was. He just walked forward instinctively until his limbs became heavier and heavier and his breathing began to become difficult.
Only now did he understand why his predecessors had said that Huoyuan was a place where one could enter but not leave, and even his master was wary of it.
In this place that seemed to be in the void, Hua Shi gradually felt a cold breath entwined around him, restricting his breathing and movements, as if trying to pin him to the spot. The spiritual power in his body was also gradually draining away, and was carried deeper into the abyss by the airflow.
But at the same time, a golden light seemed to rise from his chest, gradually enveloping his entire body, gathering together again the spiritual power that had been scattered.
What's this?
Hua Shi stared at the light shrouding his body in amazement, feeling a little puzzled. At the same time, the voice of the elf senior came into his mind, saying, "This is your luck."
Hua Shi blinked in confusion: "What luck?"
"Don't you know that you are the person with the strongest luck in the entire Xuanqing Continent? Don't you realize that all dangers can be immediately resolved when they come to you?" The evil spirit said this without any laziness as before, and sounded as if he was also worried about the current situation. He then explained to Hua Shi: "These are the effects of luck. It is said that these luck can protect you at critical moments. No one can take away your spiritual power, and no evil spirit can get close to you."
Perhaps because he felt that what he said was a little ironic, the evil spirit finally made a "tsk" sound and did not continue speaking.
But Hua Shi had heard these words clearly.
Rather than feeling grateful that his good fortune protected him and allowed him to escape danger every time, he felt more fortunate that Liu Qishuang came to him because of his physique.
With the protective luck, Hua Shi's power no longer dissipated, and the effect of the troublesome cold wind seemed to be limited. Without the obstacle, Hua Shi moved forward faster. After an unknown amount of time, something other than the blood mist finally appeared in his sight.
In front of him was a forest of stone pillars. Different from the stone pillars he had seen outside before, the stone pillars here were obviously taller and denser. And just behind these stone pillars, Hua Shi could clearly see an even taller outline. If he guessed correctly, that should be the stone pillar in the center that Xuan Shuzhi and the others asked him to find.
Hua Shi did not dare to be distracted, nor did he dare to waste time at this time. He walked around the stone pillars in front of him and headed towards the largest stone pillar in the center.
The black snakes had been killed by them before, and no one except him could enter this central location. He walked smoothly to the stone pillar. The stone pillar in the center was very tall. Hua Shi could hardly see its top when he looked up.
The dagger was always in Hua Shi's hand. He looked down at the spell that was still lingering with red light on the dagger, raised his hand and exerted force, and finally stabbed the sharp dagger into the stone pillar!
The sharp blade of the dagger sank smoothly into the stone pillar without Hua Shi spending almost any effort. He stood in front of the stone pillar and stared at its movements nervously. However, the world seemed to be silent in an instant, without any sound at all.
Until a moment later, the ground of the abyss suddenly shook violently.
·
And at this moment, in the underground abyss, Fang Wei finally closed his eyes and sighed softly.
Hua Shi finally chose to save people.
Fang Wei felt something the moment the dagger was inserted into the stone pillar. At the same time, a strong wind blew in the underground cave, and stone chips kept falling from above in the tremor. Above his head, an exit of the formation appeared in front of him, which was just enough for Fang Wei to leave. But at the same time when this exit appeared, countless spiritual powers poured into the underground cave, all of which flowed into the body of the giant beast behind. The giant beast roared and moved its body. Every movement made a sound like thunder, as if it wanted to tear apart the cage that had imprisoned him for a thousand years.
And beneath its body, the formation had gradually opened the gate to the spiritual realm as power poured in. Countless black snakes poured out from it again and gradually gathered around the giant beast.
If you don't make a decision now, it will be too late.
Fang Wei opened his eyes again, and his pupils instantly turned into a clear blue color, and dragon scales faintly appeared on his body, covering his entire body.
·
In the stone pillar forest.
Hua Shi had guessed that the next noise would be quite loud before he inserted the dagger into the stone pillar, but the scene before him still made him change his expression slightly.
Didn't they say that this dagger would only allow Fang Wei to break free from the seal? Why did he hear the voice of the underground monster now? What was going on with the earthquake, the smell of blood in the air, and the sudden oppressive force that almost made people unable to move?
The ground kept shaking. Hua Shi held onto the stone pillar and carefully steadied himself. He was about to turn around to look for everyone. However, when he turned around, he saw Xuan Shuzhi and others had hurried over here, all with solemn expressions.
Hua Shi's heart sank slightly, and he quickly said: "Master, you can enter here, could it be..."
"Well, the ban here has also been broken." Xuan Shuzhi rarely showed doubts and worries. He looked at the dagger stuck in the central stone pillar and frowned, saying, "Something is wrong."
Everyone's expression was not very good. Ji Yuan, who was previously blocked by them, had arrived at some point and was angrily saying, "I said I couldn't save people. Look at what you have done!"
But even so, it was too late to regret now. As they were talking, the ground began to slowly crack. From the countless dark cracks, black snakes were slowly poking their heads out from the ground and attacked everyone with a hissing sound.
"careful!"
Someone said it, and everyone dodged quickly. Hua Shi drew out the Lingsha Sword and slashed at the group of black snakes. However, surprisingly, after their heads were cut off, their bodies were still moving, and the flesh on the wounds gradually began to close up, and in a moment they returned to their original state.
Hua Shi couldn't imagine that such a thing would happen. How could something that had been killed come back to life?
This group of black snakes was completely different from the ones they had dealt with before. Hua Shi looked at the scene in amazement and quickly reminded everyone: "Be careful! These black snakes will come back to life!"
“No.” Yi Zhan had just been ambushed by the resurrected black snake and was nearly injured. He raised his palm to kill several black snakes before hurriedly saying, “These guys look similar to black snakes, but they don’t seem to be black snakes…”
Not only Hua Shi, but everyone else was stunned: "What?"
Hua Shi looked carefully at the group of black snakes that emerged from the ground, and immediately understood what was going on. He said, "No, these guys don't seem to have tails."
It's not that they don't have tails, but their bodies seem to have taken root in the ground. Until the ground cracked again with more gaps, and more black snakes poked out of them, everyone realized that the group of "black snakes" were actually tentacles growing on some strange thing, and that strange thing slowly emerged from the ground. Its body was like a piece of pitch-black stone, extremely hard yet with a strange color. No one knew how big its body was. Hua Shi had seen the size of a mountain whale, but this monster was clearly much larger than a mountain whale. For such a long time, Hua Shi and others could not even see what it looked like, as if all they could see was a very small part of its body.
The body was still constantly breaking through the sand and rocks underground and drilling out. The shaking of the ground forced Hua Shi and others to fly into the air with their swords. Hua Shi stepped on the Lingsha sword with both feet and had to use his spiritual power to stabilize his body in order not to be blown off the sword by the cold wind.
As he looked down, he saw that the entire abyss had almost become a purgatory of black snakes. The ground was littered with broken rocks, dust and blood mist, and the monster was covered with tentacles. He didn't know whether the black snakes had turned into the monster's tentacles, or whether they were originally parts separated from the monster. Those tentacles stretched out and danced towards the people in the air. The overwhelming spiritual power made it almost impossible for them to make any resistance.
"Wait." Hua Shi looked at the scene below, and then he turned around and remembered, "Where is Senior Jiang?"
Wen Zhong was immediately shocked and said, "He is still down there! We were chasing you just now, so we placed him next to the stone pillar!"
Hua Shi's face suddenly darkened. He carefully searched for Jiang Tingwan's trace in the rolling dust. After a while, he finally found the location and then flew towards there on his sword.
"Don't go over there yet!" Xuan Shuzhi followed closely behind him, trying to hold the man back.
Hua Shi didn't have time to care about these. He only knew that the ground over there collapsed and countless black snakes surrounded Jiang Tingwan. Jiang Tingwan was now unconscious and even covered his head with his hands. He had no fighting ability at all. If he went there later, it would probably be too late.
He rushed towards Jiang Tingwan regardless of anything, but he didn't expect that just as he was about to arrive, the largest hole in the ground suddenly cracked again and turned into a deep pit!
And right in that pit, a pair of huge red eyes suddenly opened, and their gaze was fixed on Hua Shi in the air.
Hua Shi was caught in that gaze and seemed unable to move for a moment. At the same time, the tentacles transformed from the black snake whistled towards Hua Shi, as if to submerge him completely.
Hua Shi was in mid-air with no way to escape, and was about to be surrounded by the net. However, at this moment, a clear dragon roar suddenly came from the ground.
Soon after, a silver light burst out from the ground like a thread. Hua Shi looked at the silver light and his heart suddenly began to beat strangely. There seemed to be a figure in the silver light, which came in front of Hua Shi with the sound of dragon roar and blocked all the attacks of the tentacles. The tall figure in silver armor was so real that he looked like a silver dragon, making it impossible to take his eyes off it.
Hua Shi looked at the figure with his back to him, stunned and not knowing how to speak. That figure was so familiar to him that his heart was beating wildly that he almost blurted out that name. However, his voice was still in his throat when Lu Yao's voice suddenly came from behind him, "Palace Master!"
Hua Shi was stunned for a moment, and then he remembered that he had just inserted the dagger into the stone pillar in order to rescue the evil master Fang Wei who was trapped in the underground abyss.
It is said that the evil lord Fang Wei's spiritual creature is the tenth-level spiritual creature, the Nine Sky White Dragon.
When he entered the spiritual state, he was wearing silver dragon-patterned armor.
So the person in front of him is not Liu Qishuang, but the evil master Fang Wei?
Hua Shi stared at the other party in a daze, feeling deeply disappointed. At this time, Xuan Shuzhi, Lu Yao and others also came over and said to the back of the silver-armored figure, "Evil Lord!"
The appearance of that person was like a stone of reassurance planted in everyone's heart. Everyone looked at that person, using the same etiquette as the evil tribe members would use to welcome the leader of the evil.
However, facing their gazes, the man remained silent for a long time. He only sighed softly after a while, and after using Hua Shi's Lingsha Sword to deal with the pile of tentacles in front of him, he turned around and said softly to everyone: "My decision was wrong this time. You should leave here quickly."
The blood mist still filled the air, making the scenery in the distance blurry, but even so, the man's face was still clear in everyone's eyes.
That was clearly not the evil master Fang Wei wearing a mask, but——
"Liu Qishuang!" Hua Shi almost choked as he called out the man's name, his voice even hoarse.
