Looking at the familiar space around him, Hua Shi knew that he had successfully brought everyone into Yunxiu's pen. He sighed with relief, but immediately his heart was lifted again.
The world of Yunxiu Pen is not small, and fortunately, the arrival of Shanjing did not make Yunxiu Pen seem too crowded.
Now the mountain whale had fallen into the lake in front of the palace. It carefully popped its head out of the lake and shouted, "Be careful!"
Hua Shi naturally did not dare to be careless. The moment the black snake appeared, he rolled to the side to avoid it.
Although he was in a bit of a mess, at least he wasn't hurt.
However, the previous injury had seriously affected his movements, making it impossible for him to fight this powerful enemy again.
The evil spirit was a little anxious: "You bastard! If...if my host was that guy! I wouldn't be so embarrassed by a mere snake!"
Hua Shi also felt guilty: "I am the one who held you back."
Although he possessed a tenth-level spiritual object, his strength was not enough to bring out the true power of the spiritual object, and Hua Shi felt that he was somewhat useless.
He admitted his mistake so quickly and with such a sincere attitude that the evil spirit was at a loss for words. After a pause, the evil spirit could only say, "Am I asking you to apologize now?"
Hua Shi really didn't know what else he could do at this moment except apologize. He thought of the words of the spiritual object again. Whether it was before entering the Yunxiu Pen space or the "that guy" he didn't say just now, he naturally had other meanings.
Hua Shi had no way of judging who "that guy" was, but it was only the system that had warned him before.
Hua Shi always thought that the existence of the system was a secret that belonged only to him, and that he was the only one who could hear what the system said, but now it seems that this is not the case.
At least the spirits that had signed a contract with him could hear what he said, but why could the spirits hear it? Wasn't the system a secret that existed outside this world?
Before Hua Shi could figure out these things, the black shadow had already entangled him again. Hua Shi quickly regained his consciousness and focused on dealing with the danger in front of him. Yes, before he could stand up with his seriously injured body, Bai Heng had already thrown him behind him: "Get out of the way, little devil."
Hua Shi was hit hard onto the grass at the back, and he lay on the ground coughing. For a moment, he didn't know whether it was more painful being hit by the senior swordsman or being entangled by the black snake.
He saw stars and it took him a while to sit up. Seeing the swordsman fighting with the black snake, he shouted, "Senior, be careful!"
When he shouted this, he realized that there were two other voices coming from beside him. He quickly turned around and saw Yu Xing and Li Yue were also sitting next to them. It seemed that they were thrown over by the senior swordsman.
The three of them just realized how incompetent they were in the face of this real danger, so they could only cheer for the swordsman and try not to cause trouble.
Ever since he learned about the sword-testing competition, Hua Shi has heard countless people talk about how powerful this mysterious swordsman is. So even though he is facing a powerful enemy and has a senior swordsman present, Hua Shi is still not too panicked.
But Hua Shi soon found out that he had miscalculated the crisis this time. Hua Shi had experienced countless dangerous situations, but none of them was as desperate as now, because he saw with his own eyes that after the senior swordsman had fought with the black snake for dozens of moves, the black snake's tail as hard as steel also swept the knife in his hand and knocked him to the ground!
"Senior!" Hua Shi's face suddenly changed, and he quickly stood up to help her, but was immediately stopped by the other party: "Don't come over! Stay behind obediently!"
Hua Shi stopped, and even Yu Xing and Li Yue fell silent. They looked at the black snake nervously and fearfully.
The black snake on the opposite side had already revealed its full appearance. The black snake had a sturdy body, and was as tall as two Chinese lilies when standing upright. Its scales were not purely black, but strange green patterns covered its entire body, making it look hideous and terrifying. The most frightening thing about its body were its pair of cold, dark green eyes that seemed to be glowing in the night of the Yunxiu Pen space.
It was difficult for Hua Shi to judge what kind of emotion was hidden in those eyes. They stared at them straight, as if examining the food they were about to eat. Under this gaze, Hua Shi could almost feel the temperature of his hands and feet gradually disappearing.
Hua Shi had no doubt that it would only take a moment and he would be swallowed by it without even a chance to resist.
However, Hua Shi was unable to stare at the black snake for long. Even though she was injured, Bai Heng quickly met the black snake again. She raised her hand, and the knife on the ground returned to her hand as if it had a spirit, and the knife light rose again. Not only that, the mountain whale that had just sunk into the lake had also adjusted its state at this time and began to fight the enemy together with Bai Heng.
The battle was not over yet, but even so, Hua Shi, who was watching nervously from the side, could still see that although the Swordsman and the Mountain Whale seemed to be evenly matched, they had actually already shown signs of decline.
They were already injured, and forcing themselves to fight the black snake at this time was just a matter of fighting for their dignity.
In contrast, the black snake on the opposite side seemed to be never tired for some reason, as if it had inexhaustible power. Even when facing two opponents, it was still able to deal with them easily.
Hua Shi's hands turned cold as he watched. He was worried and confused at the same time.
What is the origin of this black snake? Why is it so powerful? Why has he never heard of any rumors about this thing?
No, he had heard of such a powerful monster before...
The monster that the ancient people used to serve with sacrifices every thousand years, the terrible guy that once destroyed the ancient tribe.
But it was just a monster that existed in legends, and according to the records, it should be somewhere on the Xuanqing Continent, not appearing from the Spirit Realm. There must be something wrong, or there must be some secret that he didn't know, or maybe no one knew.
He believed that if the system was still there, it would definitely be able to tell him something about the monster, but he couldn't judge the current state of the system, and he still couldn't figure out why the system allowed him to bring such a dangerous guy into the space of Yunxiu Pen.
Is there something special inside the Yunxiu Pen that can deal with this monster?
When Hua Shi thought of this, he suddenly felt that his guess might be reasonable. He quickly stood up and ran to the room inside. Although Yu Xing and Li Yue didn't know where this space was, it was obviously not the time to run around. Yu Xing grabbed Hua Shi and asked in confusion: "Where are you going?"
Hua Shi glanced at the mysterious swordsman who was still fighting, and said quickly: "I'll find a way."
Yuxing was stunned: "What?"
Before she could figure out what Hua Shi meant, Hua Shi had already rushed into the palace behind her.
It was only after he rushed in that Hua Shi remembered that he usually moved around in a very small area here and had never been to many places. At most, he just walked around the practice room and his own room. If there really was some mechanism or formation here, he didn't know where to look. After all, this space was not small, and if he wanted to check everywhere, it would probably take a lot of time.
Hua Shi was anxious, and suddenly remembered that there was a knowledgeable elf senior living in his soul, so he hurriedly said: "Elf senior! I need your help!"
Evil spirit: “…”
He was not Fang Wei, and he did not have the patience to deal with the little ghost. However, he had heard all the conversations just now, and he could probably guess what the little ghost was planning to do, so he said, "If you want to call for help, go to the hall."
Hua Shi asked: "Hall? Which hall?"
The evil spirit said impatiently: "Your master usually has an affair with that Poxue Zhai master behind your back."
Hua Shi was stunned: "Aren't they practicing martial arts?"
Evil spirit: "Are you that surprised? What's the big deal? They have done worse things."
Hua Shi: "No..."
Unfortunately, the situation is not right now. He can't continue asking questions, nor can he ask why the elf senior who has been sleeping can know so many things.
The evil spirit didn't finish his words. Of course, with more people following behind, Xuan Shuzhi and the other two naturally couldn't do such a thing in front of everyone. However, there was no need for him to tell Hua Shi about these things.
Hua Shi followed the evil spirit's words and came to the hall. The fighting outside was still going on and seemed to be getting more intense. After entering the room, Hua Shi looked around but was still unsure: "Senior Elf, what should I do next?"
The evil spirit didn't waste any words: "Do you see the purple mark on the wall in front?"
Hua Shi hurried forward to look, and indeed saw the mark on the wall.
The moment he saw the mark clearly, Hua Shi had already recognized it. He blinked and said in surprise: "Isn't this the mark I saw on my body before?"
As he spoke, he raised his hand and touched behind his ear. He had discovered this thing when he came back from Hanxi Sect that time, but it disappeared not long after. Hua Shi thought that he was dazzled and saw it wrong that time, but now it seems that something is clearly wrong.
The evil spirit also knew that he had probably guessed something. Although he did not seem to care much about the tricks played by Fang Wei, the key let Fang Wei know how much he had revealed to Hua Shi, which inevitably made it difficult to explain.
He then said vaguely: "Why do you care so much? Isn't it enough to save lives?"
This was not wrong. Hua Shi was stunned and asked, "What should I do now?"
The evil spirit said: "Use your spiritual power to stimulate this thing and let the people inside come out to help."
Hua Shi: “Ah?”
The evil spirit urged, “Hurry up!”
Hua Shi could only reach out his hand and inject spiritual power into the mark, silently hoping that someone would come to help.
And at the moment when the spiritual power touched the purple mark, the mark actually emitted a silver-purple light, and a tall figure emerged from the center!
"Senior, help me!" Hua Shi didn't know who came out from inside. It was mysterious, but no matter who it was, Hua Shi was ready to hug the other person's thigh.
But he never expected that after the light faded, what he saw was Wen Zhong, who was supposed to have been trapped in the dungeon, and now had no idea how to escape from prison and was now missing.
Hua Shi stood there in a daze.
Although the other party had changed into clean clothes and had been tidied up, looking completely different from how he looked in the dungeon, his outline and eyes had not changed at all, and Hua Shi recognized him at a glance.
And at this time he finally remembered why he felt that Wen Zhong looked so familiar since he first saw him in the dungeon, because he had seen him in Xuan Shuzhi's portrait.
Among the three people sitting on the grass drinking at that time, Wen Chong was one of them.
"Senior Wen Zhong?!" Hua Shi took a deep breath, and after coming back to his senses, he immediately shouted loudly.
Wen Zhong seemed extremely displeased. He looked at Hua Shi with a cold face and said with disdain, "What kind of attire are you wearing, Deer Spirit? It's disgusting."
He was talking about Hua Shi's current spiritual state, where he was wearing a white robe, had wings on his back, and had a white tiger tail.
Hua Shiqing couldn't help but look down, but he couldn't say anything.
The evil spirit became angry: "What is this kid talking about? Tear his mouth off for me!"
Hua Shi had a headache. Although he hadn't figured out the current situation yet, he still habitually chose to comfort the elf senior first.
However, the evil spirit and the possessed Wen Zhong did not fight, because the noise outside soon came back, and Wen Zhong also sensed a familiar breath. He frowned and turned his head to ask Hua Shi, "Who is outside? Why am I so panicked?"
Hua Shi shouted loudly: "Senior, help me! There is a giant snake monster outside!" He didn't care who the other party was at this time. He just asked for help first.
Wen Zhong shook his head and said solemnly: "No, it's not a snake demon. There are even scarier monsters out there besides snake demons."
Hua Shi blinked: "Ah?"
Aside from the snake demon, aren't there only Yuxing Li Yue and Senior Swordsman outside?
Before Hua Shi could understand what was happening, Wen Zhong had already walked out, muttering to himself, "It's strange that I want to run away immediately, but why can't I control myself and move closer to danger?"
Hua Shi: “…”
Although the helpers invited were a little abnormal, having helpers is a good thing. Hua Shi secretly encouraged himself and hurriedly chased after him, and came to the lake outside the palace again.
The entire lakeside had been mostly destroyed because of the previous battle. The surrounding grass was scorched black by the lightning and fire, and dead grass was scattered all around. There were still traces of blood on the ground that had not been evaporated. At this time, the mountain whale had already fallen into the lake dying. Bai Heng's right side of the body had already been stained red with blood, and his right arm was bleeding.
At this time, Wen Zhong came out with Hua Shi.
The mountain whale struggled to turn its eyes and looked over here. Bai Heng also choked on a mouthful of blood and raised her eyes slightly. Then her eyes suddenly widened and she said to Wen Zhong in a hoarse voice: "You escaped?"
Wen Zhong suddenly stopped, his eyes widened as well, and pointed at Bai Heng in shock and fear, "Old, tiger spirit?"
Bai Heng was just trying to lift up his sword, and when he heard Wen Zhong's words, he was stunned for a moment: "What?"
Hua Shi stood behind Wen Zhong with a strange expression on his face. Now he finally understood who the terrifying "monster" Wen Zhong had just mentioned was. He saw that the swordsman in front of him looked unhappy, and was afraid that the two would start fighting before they could deal with the black snake, so he waved his hands and said, "It's okay! Senior swordsman, Senior Wen Zhong is possessed by a demon and is not very clear-headed now. Don't pay too much attention to his nonsense!"
Wen Zhong glared at Hua Shi and said, "You are the one talking nonsense!"
Bai Heng glanced at Wen Zhong and saw that he probably believed what Hua Shi had just said, so his expression quickly recovered. She pointed the tip of her knife coldly at Wen Zhong and said in a deep voice, "Why don't you come over and help?"
Wen Zhong immediately shut up, not daring to say anything more. He went to Bai Heng in dejection to deal with the next wave of attacks from the Black Snake.
Only Hua Shi was left standing there watching in shock.
Even the evil spirit couldn't help but be surprised: "This guy was so crazy when he was possessed by the devil. I didn't expect that there was someone else who could subdue him besides that kid?"
Hua Shi did not notice the evil spirit's words, he was still looking at the battle in front of him with worry. The arrival of Wen Zhong naturally made them feel a little relieved. Although he was still unstable due to being possessed by the devil, his strength was not far behind Bai Heng. Moreover, it was not known whether it was Hua Shi's illusion or some other reason, but the moves of the two seemed to come from the same clan, complementing each other, with palm winds and sword lights intertwining with each other, and each time the figures intersected, it seemed as if they had practiced it thousands of times, which far exceeded the strength that the two people should have.
At this point, Hua Shi finally understood why the system had asked him to bring the black snake here before disappearing.
It had long known that Wen Zhong was in this Yunxiu Pen space, and it had also long known that these two people could join forces to fight the black snake.
"But why does the other side seem... even stronger than before?" Hua Shi's heartbeat was getting faster and faster. Even though he had been surprised several times, he still couldn't help but ask in confusion, "How is this possible? Why does that big black snake seem..."
It was as if something was continuously supplying him with energy, allowing him to grow infinitely in a short period of time, becoming increasingly difficult to handle. But how could such a thing happen in the world? If one could obtain endless power without practicing, then who could handle it over a long period of time?
The evil spirit understood Hua Shi's question, but it was not panicked. It only said, "There's something wrong with this black snake. It seems that it suddenly became stronger for some reason after coming to Xuanqing Continent, but this kind of strength is definitely not unrestrained, and..."
Hua Shi quickly asked: "And?"
The evil spirit chuckled and said, "And I believe that guy asked you to bring the black snake into this space, not because he thought that Wen Zhong and the swordsman alone could deal with the black snake."
Hua Shi's mind moved: "So his purpose is..."
The evil spirit said, "It's just to delay time."
