Xu Yuehuai pursed her lips and remained silent for a moment. She treated Shi Mu's wounds and kept feeding him medicine. Shi Mu had already fainted and was completely out of his mind. He had no ability or thought to do anything. The silence in the air made everyone's hearts clench.
After a while, Xu Yuehuai said, "It's Blackwater."
Nangong Yu frowned and pointed at Shi Mu, "You mean this kid went and provoked Blackwater?"
Nangong Yu pointed at Shi Mu as if he had heard a joke. He didn't believe it at all and thought Xu Yuehuai was joking. But, as luck would have it, Xu Yuehuai looked up and his eyes were more serious than ever before. "It wasn't him who provoked Heishui, it was Heishui who provoked him."
“Outside the house, I found a mark, a mark of corrosion. I can say with certainty that it was something that wasn’t there during the day, but now it’s outside.” Xu Yuehuai stood up. She had done all she could. Now, whether Shi Mu could wake up depended entirely on Shi Mu himself.
Nangong Yu swayed back and forth, while the others remained silent, some even going out to examine the marks on the ground. Finally, Nangong Yu voiced his question, "Isn't that black water an inanimate object? Why did it turn into this?"
How could an inanimate object possibly give rise to so many things?
Needless to say, Xu Yuehuai and the others had also thought of the most terrifying point. No one wanted to believe this fact, as it was the cruelest explanation: "It is not an inanimate object. We saw it bubbling during the day, which means it is alive. We thought it was boiling or hot air, but in reality, it was just moving."
When Xu Yuehuai revealed this cruel truth, Nangong Yu leaned against the wall, and the fan in her hand stopped waving.
Baili Xiuwen and Fu Ziyi stood together. When Xuan Chi heard that Heishui was alive and could do so many things, he took the initiative to go outside the tent to observe the situation, just in case Heishui attacked again.
For once, everyone was quiet and didn't say much, looking preoccupied.
Shi Mu felt intense pain, a piercing pain that he couldn't bear and fainted. In the last second before losing consciousness, he was still thinking that he couldn't be a coward and had to stand up properly so that he could explain things to Xu Yuehuai!
The toxicity of the blackwater, capable of polluting such a large area of forest, is not an exaggeration; the blackwater itself is even more dangerous.
Unfortunately, he was injured on his thumb, and the bone was visible. Blackwater had only touched him quietly when he wasn't paying attention, and it had turned into this state. Its power was truly terrifying.
Xu Yuehuai also went outside. She had done everything she could. Now, whether Shi Mu could wake up depended on her. Everyone tacitly agreed not to go to sleep that night.
As the first rays of light appeared on the horizon, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. Daytime was always better than nighttime. At night, it was pitch black and nothing could be seen, but if the Blackwater attacked again during the day, they could detect the anomaly immediately.
Unfortunately, the black water they were hoping for did not come again; in fact, it was unusually peaceful.
Shi Muyou slowly woke up, looked at his surroundings, and was stunned for a moment. His brain didn't quite process what had happened. He felt very comfortable in his body and couldn't feel the pain in his feet at all. He raised his hand and touched his chest, where something seemed to be surging, something he couldn't quite put his finger on.
Shi Mu sighed, propped himself up, sat up, looked at where he was, and felt a pang of emotion.
Hearing the noise, Nangong Yu outside the door glanced inside and saw Shi Mu awake. He walked over and asked, "Is there anything else that's bothering you? Do you feel anything different about your body?"
Nangong Yu wanted to understand the situation first before making a decision. Shi Mu touched himself and tried to stand up. He supported himself on the ground and felt comfortable, but as soon as he moved his left foot, he felt a sharp pain and grimaced.
"I'm fine, my feet just hurt a little, but my body is okay. I feel a warm current flowing through my body, I don't know why, but it feels really good." Shi Mu described the unusual sensation in her body.
Just as she finished speaking, Xu Yuehuai interrupted, saying, "That's because of the pills I gave you."
Nangong Yu was somewhat excited. At first, he thought that the black water had the effect of opening up the meridians. Fortunately, he did not reveal his thoughts first, otherwise it would have been very embarrassing.
After understanding the situation, the others all looked at Xu Yuehuai. "I plan to go and take a look by myself. You guys stay here. If anything seems wrong over there, leave immediately."
Xu Yuehuai felt that the black water could understand their speech, and wanted to investigate what it was.
Yuan Shui isn't here yet. If he were, he would definitely recognize what this is. The power of an ancient artifact should not be underestimated.
Fu Ziyi was the first to object to Xu Yuehuai's idea, "No, it's too dangerous. How can we let you go on such a risk alone? Don't even think about it."
The others shared the same thought. Xuan Chi usually seemed well-behaved and obedient, but at this moment, he was incredibly aggressive. "Although we call you Senior Sister, it doesn't mean you have to be the one to rush to the front in everything."
Xu Yuehuai didn't feel any warmth and remained stubborn. "If you want this matter to progress, don't waste your breath talking to me here. I have a way to save my life. It can't kill me. What about you? Are you sure each of you can escape from Blackwater's hands? Besides, we don't even know what the enemy's situation is. Do you really think you can get out of such a dangerous situation unscathed? Moreover, there's an injured Shi Mu. Are you just going to abandon him? He was injured because of us."
Xu Yuehuai watched as they spoke these incredibly realistic words, one by one. Everyone was stunned. No matter how much they thought about it, they never expected things to turn out this way. They looked at each other a few times, and in the end, they could only agree to Xu Yuehuai's suggestion.
When Fu Ziyi left, she was very resolute and did not hesitate at all, like a child throwing a tantrum. When Baili Xiuwen saw this, he was worried that Xu Yuehuai would be angry, so he glanced in her direction, but saw that she did not care at all.
Nangong Yu and Xuan Chi took Shi Mu away. Shi Mu's left foot was temporarily unable to bear weight, so she walked very slowly and with a limp, which was very inconvenient.
