The black mist was clearly stunned. It knew nothing about these things. Even if it did know, it wouldn't know what to do. It just felt that if it knew, it would want to save those people, but judging from its current state, it would probably make those people die even faster. The black mist thought sadly to itself and remained silent for a moment.
Xu Yuehuai seemed to have noticed Heishui's depressed mood. She could feel it, but she didn't understand why Heishui would be in such a mood. Before coming, she had thought of all sorts of possibilities, perhaps even a final battle with Heishui, but she never expected it to be like this. Heishui wrote a few words on the ground.
"How can I help you?" Blackwater asked earnestly in silence.
Xu Yuehuai even thought she was crazy, that she could actually talk to such a puddle of water and even sense its emotions. For a moment, the air was silent. Xu Yuehuai said, "I want to find someone. There is too much miasma in these mountains, so it is inconvenient for us to look for someone."
Blackwater transformed into the shape of a small person, not very tall, tilting its head, looking quite peculiar. "I can help you think of people. I can sense where people are in the forest."
Xu Yuehua was about to agree, but considering the devastating power of the Blackwater, she asked first, just to be on the safe side, "Will it harm anyone or anyone else?"
Blackwater shook its head and conjured up another sentence, "No, my roots are distributed throughout the entire forest. As long as I want to know, I can know what's in the forest. It's just that I didn't let go because it was too noisy before, which is why I only discovered your presence when you were already right in front of me."
After reading this, Xu Yuehua nodded in agreement, "Okay, thank you."
Xu Yuehuai explained her specific requirements, and Heishui nodded to indicate that there was no problem. Xu Yuehuai walked towards Fu Ziyi and the others and explained Heishui's situation to them. The group was quite surprised. They walked towards Heishui. When Shi Mu saw Heishui, her eyes were filled with grievance. She looked at Heishui with a pitiful expression, as if she had suffered some great injustice. Heishui knew that she had done something wrong, so she took the initiative to approach Shi Mu and wanted to apologize to her.
Shi Mu harbored a deep-seated fear of this creature. The moment he saw it approach, the panic in his eyes was impossible to conceal. He quickly took a few steps back, appearing somewhat disheveled, enduring the pain in his toes. A hint of embarrassment flashed in Hei Shui's eyes. He stopped in his tracks. The little figure Hei Shui had conjured lacked facial features, but its movements were quite expressive, and everyone could sense from its actions that it too felt awkward.
There wasn't much time for idle chatter. In order to show that it was useful and to compensate Shi Mu, it returned to its original body and began to gather power. A pool of black water gathered in the air and turned into a huge sphere, which began to spread outwards.
Only then did everyone see the bottom of the pool clearly. It was just a pit a meter deep. It looked so scary on the surface, but it wasn't actually that deep. Even so, once it had accumulated all its energy, its power was not to be underestimated.
After waiting for a while, seeing that there was still no movement from the black water, the group realized that this was not a simple matter and would probably take a long time. So they returned to their previous tent, lit a fire, and gathered around it.
Autumn weather is always windy, but the trees in the forest block the wind from getting in, making the forest cold and damp.
The miasma around them had dissipated considerably, presumably because the black energy wasn't emitting miasma yet. Shi Mu looked at his toes, which had turned into bones, and said pitifully, "Do you think I'll have to carry a bone with me everywhere I go from now on?"
Nangong Yu felt like teasing him and nodded in agreement, "I think it's possible, after all, the injuries really don't look simple."
Shi Mu was immediately terrified. "Our bodies and hair are given to us by our parents. Now that I've lost a toe, what will people think of me? Waaaaah!"
As Shi Mu spoke, his eyes reddened, and he looked like he was really about to cry. Nangong Yu didn't expect this guy to be so easily amused, and for a moment he looked at him helplessly. Xuan Chi glanced over and said indifferently, "He's lying to you. He's telling a lie. Don't believe him."
Shi Mu immediately stopped crying, but still couldn't believe it. After all, in her current state, she didn't look like she could recover at all. "Really? You're not lying to me?"
Xuan Chi nodded, "It's true, Senior Sister is a genius in alchemy. She knows a lot about pharmacology and won't let anything happen to you."
Xu Yuehuai had been watching the spectacle without saying a word, but when the topic turned to her, she nodded in agreement and said, "He's right. Don't cry. Eat this, and your flesh will grow back in a few days, but..."
Before Xu Yuehuai could finish speaking, Shi Mu had already swallowed the pill in one gulp. She stopped talking, and the two looked at each other. Shi Mu swallowed and swallowed the pill in her mouth. "But this process will be very painful."
Shi Mu thought something serious was going to happen, but waved her hand and said, "It's okay, Senior Sister. I'm not afraid of suffering. I'm just afraid that people will see me as a monster."
Fu Ziyi scoffed from the side, "Such a grown man, still having to live at the mercy of others, what a spineless person."
The spineless Shi Mu had no intention of listening to Fu Ziyi and sat alone to the side.
Several people had expected it to take a long time, half a day, or even a whole day, but they didn't expect the process to last for two whole days and two nights before it was finally completed. By the second day, everyone was getting restless.
They wandered around, but eventually returned to the campfire, remaining silent. Blackwater, having received the news, immediately came over. This time, it didn't harm anyone. After attracting their attention, it left a few words.
"Two people on the east side."
After leaving this message, the black water returned to the deep pool, its surface returning to calm and ceasing its bubbling. The miasma emanating from it had also diminished considerably. Over the course of two days, the miasma in the surrounding area had thinned slightly, thanks to the wind blowing in the deep pool that created these conditions.
Shi Mu looked at the black water that had returned, which hadn't been seen for a long time. "What happened to it? It was lively and energetic before, but now it looks like it's about to die."
Shi Mu found it strange and went forward to take a closer look. Xu Yuehuai bowed in the direction of the Blackwater and led them away from there.
