Chapter 917 Am I cheated?

My heart skipped a beat when I saw the half-open wooden door. An ominous premonition rose in my heart. I didn't delay any longer and pushed the wooden door open and rushed in.

The adobe house had no windows, only one door. When I entered the adobe house, I found that it was pitch black. The black was like ink, so thick that it seemed to swallow all light sources. Even I, when I entered the adobe house, my eyes went dark and I became blind.

I quickly took out a talisman from my pocket, and after reciting a few sentences in my heart, I heard a "whoosh" sound, and the talisman in my hand instantly burned up.

This talisman is just an ordinary fire talisman. It has a weak attack power and can only be used against ordinary zombies and ghosts. At this moment, it is just right for lighting.

With the light from the talisman, I squinted my eyes and looked carefully at the mud house.

I saw that the interior of the mud house was much more spacious than I imagined. The space of the whole mud house was about the size of a basketball court. What I was in was only the first floor of the mud house. In the corner, there was a ladder leading up. Obviously, this mud house had more than one floor.

"Why is there nothing here?" I frowned.

The first floor of the mud house can be said to be bare and empty.

But then, I found something wrong, because I saw an erased rune on the ground.

"This should be the place to set up the formation, but now, the formation has been broken, and... it was broken by brute force?"

I looked at the erased rune in astonishment. If it was a normal search for a life gate to break the formation, then this symbol would not have been erased. At most, it would have lost its spiritual energy and turned into an ordinary rune.

However, the spiritual energy in this rune is still there, but most of the symbol has been erased, so it has lost its original effect.

"Since Chujiu is imprisoned here, the formation here must be much stronger than the trapped formation set up in the Miao family's ancestral temple. And this person who arrived here before me can actually break the formation with brute force. How terrifying must his physical strength be? Moreover, why did this person come here? Could it be that he is also here for Chujiu and the Golden Canggu?"

With this thought, I quickly blew out the talisman in my hand, then tiptoed to the ground and quickly came to the ladder with extremely light body movements.

I looked up and saw that the ladder extended upwards and spread into the darkness above my head, but I couldn't see clearly what was above.

I didn't climb the ladder, but flapped my wings and floated up directly. When I floated to the ceiling of the first floor, I found a dark hole on the ceiling, and the ladder was extending into this hole.

The hole was too small, so I could only climb up from the ladder. However, just when I grabbed the ladder and prepared to climb up, my movements suddenly froze. Suddenly, at that moment, I seemed to... hear a gasp.

"Sure enough, there is someone!" I frowned, then slowed down my movements and climbed up lightly.

I slowly poked my head out of the hole, and then I saw that the space on the second floor was about the same size as the first floor, but it was divided into many small compartments. Each compartment was made of earth, similar to the room where the Crucian Child was imprisoned.

And in one of the compartments, a golden light with a wisp of hot breath was radiating.

"It's Chujiu!"

I was too familiar with Chujiu. When I saw the golden light, I immediately judged that it was emitted from Chujiu.

But then, my eyes fixed.

Because I saw that the golden light suddenly dimmed, and it felt as if someone blocked the golden light, and a person's shadow was reflected on the ground.

"Someone entered the room where Chujiu was imprisoned!" I was shocked, and I supported the ground with my hands and jumped directly into the second floor.

But I was not reckless. A person who can break the formation by brute force is definitely not an ordinary person. If Chujiu falls into danger because of my recklessness, I will probably blame myself for the rest of my life.

I held my breath, tried my best to suppress the fluctuations of spiritual energy emanating from my body, leaned against the wall, and observed the situation in the earthen house motionlessly.

I saw that on the other side of the earthen house where Chujiu was imprisoned, a human-shaped hole was actually knocked out by someone, as if someone ignored the earthen wall and walked directly in.

"Why can't I... feel the breath of this person?" I frowned, looking puzzled.

At this moment, in my sight, there is indeed a person in black clothes moving constantly in the mud house where Chujiu is. It's just strange that I can't feel the slightest fluctuation of Qi from this person, and even can't feel the breath of a living person emanating from this person.

I moved the angle slightly, and then the scene in the mud house was fully revealed to me through the human-shaped hole.

I saw that there was a bed in the mud house, and the person lying on the bed was Chujiu.

At this time, Chujiu was like a sleeping beauty, lying motionless on the bed.

She was wearing a unique Miao costume, and even a phoenix crown made of pure Yin on her head. She was hung with a dazzling array of silver ornaments, looking extremely beautiful.

This traditional Miao costume should be worn by Chujiu when she returned to the Miao village to worship her ancestors.

"The golden light is coming from Chujiu's body. It should be the result of the combination of pure Yang Qi and the Golden Silkworm Qi."

I squinted my eyes and looked at Chujiu carefully. I saw a layer of golden light covering Chujiu's body. The golden light was like an eggshell, protecting Chujiu tightly inside.

The man was stretching out his hand at this moment, as if he wanted to put his hand into the eggshell.

The next moment, there was a sound of "Zila", and the moment the man's palm touched the golden light, a puff of black smoke came out. That feeling was like putting butter on a red-hot iron.

The man shuddered, and as if he had received an electric shock, he retracted his hand, then shook his head and murmured in a low voice: "Chujiu, I can't break your golden shield, how can I take you away?"

I was stunned after hearing the man's words.

"This man...seems to be here to save Chujiu? Who is he?"

The man's intuition told me that the relationship between this man and Chujiu should be unusual.

I subconsciously raised my hand and touched my head, thinking, damn, I didn't go out for two months, wandered around in the mountains, and got cheated, right?

But then I shook my head.

With Chujiu's personality, he would never do such a thing.

"Could it be... an admirer of Chu Jiu?"
