Chapter 44 They are going to die
"We can't go any deeper."
Under everyone's surprised gaze, Xu Zhifeng patiently explained.
"This area is already infested with level 3 monsters. It's enough training for you who are at the foundation building stage, as well as the two of us who are at the golden elixir stage. Going further down, we will reach the depths of the Dajin Mountains. Once we reach the depths, fog will appear at any time and sweep us in. That would be dangerous."
Hearing this, the other three disciples of Yinyue Palace nodded. They came here to gain experience, and as long as they had enough training, they would be lucky.
Moreover, in addition to the third-level monsters, there are also many fairy herbs at this depth. As long as they continue to explore along this depth, they will definitely gain a lot. There is no need to put themselves in danger.
If they enter places that are beyond their capabilities, not to mention gaining anything, it is even uncertain whether they can survive. If something goes wrong, it will be a loss.
Seeing this, Ye Linglong and Ji Zizhuo looked at each other.
Although everyone's goal is to gain experience, their definition of experience seems to be different from that of the disciples of Hidden Moon Palace.
While they were planning which direction to go next, Ye Linglong whispered into Ji Zizhuo's ear.
"Seventh Brother, let's find an opportunity to part ways with them."
"Well, after traveling together for such a long time, I think it's about time."
"Why don't you go and tell them?"
"Why don't you say it?"
The two of them stared at each other and pointed at each other.
It’s not that they are afraid of the people from Yinyue Palace, but that Yu Xingzhou is very troublesome. He has been pestering the two of them since they started traveling together, making it seem like he is from Qingxuan Sect instead of Yinyue Palace.
They almost suspected that Yu Xingzhou wanted to abandon Yinyue Palace and join their Qingxuan Sect, which was not appropriate.
And what if Yu Xingzhou and the others suggest going inside together?
Their cultivation level is only at the foundation-building stage. If they encounter danger after entering, they will have to find a way to save people. It is too troublesome. It is more convenient for her and her senior brother to come together.
"I have a plan."
Ye Linglong smiled slyly.
She found a place to sit down, took out the new pen that Yu Xingzhou had exchanged with her, and wrote a bunch of complicated runes on the talisman paper, several sheets in a row.
Then she took out a few spirit stones from the ring, instantly absorbed the spiritual energy inside, and continued painting after replenishing it.
After writing and drawing, he made a large stack of about twenty pictures and handed them all to Ji Zizhuo.
"Here, I give you this talisman and this diagram. Find a place and use your water magic to create a rain cloud. Then follow the instructions on the diagram and stick these talismans on your rain cloud."
"What will happen?"
"The rain clouds will turn into a fog and attack us, growing larger and wider until they swallow us up!"
"Are you really going to be swallowed?"
"What are you thinking? It's fake. If we really get swallowed, we'll be exposed. We didn't make it so sophisticated temporarily, so we can only put it together to deceive people. As long as we wait for the fog to come, we will pretend to run away in all directions, and then we will meet on the hill ahead."
"I see. Junior Sister, you have so many ideas."
"You're so lucky. I'm just born with a good brain. There's nothing I can do about it."
Ji Zizhuo took the talisman and left quickly. Yu Xingzhou and the others came over to ask in confusion.
"Linglong, where did Zizhuo go?"
"He just saw some movement ahead and went to check it out."
"Too impulsive. The depth of the Daijin Mountains is already full of dangers. It is very dangerous for him to leave alone."
"Yes, you two can't run away alone, otherwise we won't be able to rescue you immediately if you encounter danger."
"That's right. Even if you really want to go inside, you must tell us. Let's discuss and see if we can move forward a little bit so that we can look after each other."
After listening to what they said, Ye Linglong was silent for two seconds. You see, she had already seen through their thoughts, so she resorted to this desperate measure.
They are going there to seek death. It would be unfair to bring a few of them who have been trained honestly and make them scared all the time. It would be better to separate them.
"Don't worry, he will be back soon."
Ye Linglong did not lie, because Ji Zizhuo really came back very quickly, and he ran all the way back.
Because behind him, there was a huge cloud of mist flying towards them at a rapid speed.
"The mist is coming! Run!"
Xu Zhifeng shouted and everyone quickly turned around and ran. Ye Linglong stood there in shock, watching the entire sky turn dark, as if it was the eve of a storm.
Bright flashes of lightning appeared above the misty cloud, and it rushed towards them with its fangs and claws bared like a monster. It was so powerful and strong that all the trees, flowers and plants were swept up in its passing, and even the monsters hiding in the dark were swept in.
At this time, Ji Zizhuo finally ran to Ye Linglong's side and said to her excitedly: "Junior sister, the effect of your rune is too good! This overwhelming pressure is just like the real thing. Look, you scared away all those people from Yinyue Palace!"
Ye Linglong said to Ji Zizhuo in a daze: "Thank you for the encouragement, Senior Brother Seven. Although I am really amazing, I did not create this mist."
"ah?"
"Um."
"What do you mean?"
"It means that it is the mist cloud of Mount Daijin, the real thing, and it is fair to everyone."
Ji Zizhuo's eyes widened and he was speechless for a moment. No wonder the power was so strong that it swept all the trees and monsters in. No wonder the pressure alone gave him so much pressure, it turned out that he had really attracted it!
"Then what are you standing there for? Run!"
Ji Zizhuo shouted and rushed forward, but he tripped and almost fell to the ground after taking only a few steps.
At this moment, he lowered his head and found that a rope was tied around his waist at some point, and the other end of the rope was tied to Ye Linglong's waist. She didn't leave, which caused him to almost trip.
"Little sister, what are you doing?"
"Seventh Senior Brother, the original book says that once the mist sweeps people in, it will randomly place them in a certain location in the secret realm. Even if people are swept in together, they will be separated."
Ji Zizhuo was completely confused. What original novel? What secret realm? How did she know they would be separated?
"Seventh Senior Brother, my cultivation is too low. If I couldn't handle it alone, I wouldn't have dragged you to die with me."
"Little Junior Sister, stop talking! The mist is about to engulf us, run!"
Ji Zizhuo stood up and wanted to rush forward with Ye Linglong, but when he turned around, he found that Ye Linglong was pulling their rope and pulling him back again and again.
No one knew what the rope was made of. Although the junior sister was not very strong, it was easy for her to pull the rope. And he tried his best to escape but couldn't pull the junior sister away.
So he just watched himself being dragged back step by step by his junior sister.
Then, the two of them were swept into the mist together.
"ah…"
"Don't be afraid, brother."
"Do you have any other preparations?"
"Yes, let's cover each of our eyes with this black cloth, so we won't be scared if we don't see."
“…”
So, what on earth was wrong with him that he wanted to go out with his junior sister?
