Breaking down the wall seems simple, but it actually requires immense courage. They had just entered a cave, and if they were underground instead of in a hallucination, breaking down the wall would have been tantamount to hastening their own death.
This will put them in an even more dangerous situation. Once this place is broken, everything above will collapse, and they will be completely buried underneath in an instant. At that time, they will be helpless and unable to call for help.
Fu Ziyi and Xu Yuehuai exchanged a glance, both saying that this was something that could be done. Xu Yuehuai took a deep breath, gathered energy in her left hand, and waited for it to accumulate to its maximum before raising her hand and striking the wall in front of her. The originally hard wall shattered upon contact with this earth-shattering spiritual power.
Before they could react, Fu Ziyi, who was standing to the side, was prepared. The moment the thing exploded, a protective shield enveloped the two of them, keeping them firmly inside.
Xu Yuehuai subconsciously raised her hand to shield her face from the sand and dust, only to find that the sand and dust didn't reach her at all, and the surroundings remained pitch black. "Fu Ziyi? Are you alright?"
The nightlight was gone, and the surroundings were plunged into darkness, so dark that she couldn't see her own hand in front of her face. She tried to reach out her hand, thinking of exploring the area to the side.
Fu Ziyi coughed twice and said, "I'm still here, don't worry, I just inhaled some dust."
Hearing this, Xu Yuehuai felt slightly relieved. "Is the luminous pearl broken?"
She had just felt a heavy object fall to the ground when Fu Ziyi's muffled voice came, "It must be. I didn't hold it properly and it fell to the ground. It was probably hit by the force and broke."
Some sand got into Xu Yuehuai's eyes. She rubbed them, feeling a stinging sensation. But in this place, she couldn't see anything around her, so there was no way to get the sand out of her eyes properly.
At this time, Xu Yuehuai also discovered that she had completely lost contact with Yuan Shui and Bai Ze. Before fainting during the journey, the two of them could not use their spiritual power, but after they came out, their spiritual power slowly recovered, and now they have recovered nearly half of their strength.
During this process, Xu Yuehuai would occasionally look at the Yuan Shui in the space and ask him to help analyze the current situation. At that time, she noticed that her connection with the space was becoming unstable, until just now, when she completely lost contact.
Unable to produce a luminous pearl from her spatial storage, she could only grope in the dark, where everything seemed so dangerous.
Fu Zi also coughed twice.
The two remained motionless. Gradually, Xu Yuehuai sensed something was wrong and asked, "Fu Ziyi, are you injured?"
Fu Ziyi raised his hand to wipe the corner of his mouth, swallowed the blood in his mouth, and then said, "No, I just haven't gotten used to being able to use spiritual power yet, so I got a little injured, but it's nothing serious."
Xu Yuehuai didn't believe it. The feeling of Fu Ziyi coughing was not like this to her. Instead, it felt like he had suffered some kind of internal injury. She said suspiciously, "But I smelled blood."
Fu Ziyi cursed inwardly, then muttered aloud, "You have such a keen sense of smell, you can even smell that."
Xu Yuehuai chuckled, but after laughing, she began to worry about him. Fu Ziyi spoke first, saying, "Don't worry, it's nothing serious, just a minor wound. Don't worry about it."
"I just lost my balance and fell against the wall, getting a cut. It's nothing serious, don't worry." Fu Ziyi lied, but the worst thing he could do now was to make both of them panic. He had a large wound on his arm, and thinking while in pain would make him lose some of his rationality.
If Xu Yuehuai were told about this, and she became anxious and worried, the two of them might fall into other dangers.
Xu Yuehuai remained silent, ultimately choosing Fu Ziyi's version of events. There was no point in arguing here. She reached out with one hand, wanting to know what had happened to the area she had just blasted out.
Judging from the darkness around them, they shouldn't have managed to blast anything out. If they had actually had some effect, this area should be bright, but it's pitch black now, to the point where you can't see your hand in front of your face.
The tree spirit outside watched as they channeled their spiritual energy. A burst of energy slammed into the wall in front of them, causing it to collapse with a crash, nearly hitting them. The tree spirit had even forgotten that there was a wall between them; all it wanted to do was rush over and rescue them. But when it got there, it realized that it didn't need to rescue them at all.
He couldn't even get to that place. He sat down on the ground, exhausted, with a slightly dejected look on his face. He chuckled softly, having made up his mind. The two people in front of him really couldn't see anything, otherwise they wouldn't have made such strange movements.
The tree spirit wasn't stupid; he understood that all of this was a conspiracy orchestrated by the old tree spirit, including letting him in. The situation was incredibly complex, and even if he got in, it would be difficult for him to get out without the old tree spirit's help.
He will naturally go back if he can't find anyone. If he is still alive then, he can give the others an explanation. As for Xu Yuehuai and the others, they haven't been found yet and are still here. It's a win-win situation.
The only flaw in this whole affair was that the old tree spirit didn't know where Xu Yuehuai and Fu Ziyi had gone or what they had done.
So after putting the tree spirit in, he had no way of knowing that the three of them wouldn't meet.
The old tree spirit has no way to track the tree spirits. The tree spirits are very sensitive, and since they are of the same kind, they will notice anything amiss immediately.
Therefore, the old tree spirit dared not act rashly and could only honestly explain that its other branches were searching for people inside.
If the person isn't found in front of the tree spirit, they can simply say they don't know where the person went and haven't been found. But if they are found in front of the tree spirit, the matter naturally won't end so easily.
The tree spirit was so tired that he took a few breaths on the spot. Originally, he had not planned to continue forward after he learned that there was an illusion in the way. But who would have thought that even if he didn't leave, Xu Yuehuai and the others would still move forward. If he didn't follow, he would completely lose them.
So the tree spirit didn't have time to think about anything else except walking.
Suddenly, he noticed the presence of another person beside him. He turned around sharply and saw a person exuding a sense of oppression approaching him. The man's face was gloomy, and he looked like someone who was not to be trifled with.
