Chapter 108 Two People Trapped in the Dark River
The rebellious weapon is disobedient and has learned to talk back, right?
Gao Huohuo directly stuffed the magic sword and long whip in his hand into Zhong Hanshang's hands, then turned and left.
Zhong Hanshang hurriedly stopped her and solemnly assured her:
"Fellow Daoist Gao, don't worry, no matter how high the grade of your weapon is, it's yours.
I will not take away someone else's love, and I will keep this secret for you. No one will know that these two weapons belong to you.
If you are still worried, I can swear an oath to heaven after I leave here.
Let's leave here quickly, otherwise when there are too many people around, the secret won't be revealed."
After saying that, he returned the magic sword and whip to her.
Han Guang and Zi Ying flew back to her on their own initiative, one turned into an ordinary hairpin and the other turned into a bracelet.
The two men hurriedly left the riverbed and went ashore. Before they had taken a few steps, they heard a large number of footsteps coming towards them.
Are you coming so soon? If we run into this, everything will be exposed.
Seeing that Zhong Hanshang was about to walk out openly, Gao Huohuo could only take out two more invisibility talismans from the storage ring.
Each of them put one on, then grabbed Zhong Hanshang's wrist and flew into the air.
Listening to the footsteps, there was no place for so many people to hide, as there was only so little space on both sides of the underground river.
They could only fly into the air first and wait for these people to pass by before they could go out.
Then she sent a message to Zhong Hanshang, asking him not to make any sound. Once he was discovered, it would be difficult to explain the fact that she possessed two semi-artifacts.
Zhong Hanshang thought about it and nodded in agreement with her plan.
He felt that the little hand holding his was a little cold, but it was holding his wrist tightly.
The warmth from his palm seeped in through his skin bit by bit, making him blush inexplicably.
A group of people came in soon, and Gao Huohuo discovered that there were actually a few Nascent Soul cultivators among them.
It seems that Ziying and Hanguang caused quite a stir.
But in this case, Su Ruoyun's next plan to search for treasure in the dark river might not be so smooth.
But before Gao Huohuo could continue thinking, he heard one of the monks who came in say:
“My magic weapon shows that the aura of the five-colored magic weapon just now is right here.
Everyone, look carefully around here. Whoever finds the treasure will get it."
Huh? Looking carefully here?
If she couldn't find it, she would have to stay invisible in mid-air forever.
But with her cultivation level at the Jindan stage, she couldn't stay in the air for that long.
Unless she uses the system, but the key is that she uses it in front of Zhong Hanshang, otherwise it will arouse his suspicion.
In this situation now, I can only ask Zhong Hanshang, after all, he is a Nascent Soul cultivator.
But now, forget about sending a message to warn Zhong Hanshang. Even the slightest fluctuation of spiritual power would be picked up by these extremely sensitive high-level cultivators, thus exposing their whereabouts.
In a desperate situation, she had an idea and had to use the most primitive method.
She quietly stretched out her other hand, and with trembling fingertips, she wrote words on Zhong Hanshang's palm, stroke by stroke, asking him how long he could hold on in the air.
In a moment, she felt Zhong Hanshang's fingertips move slightly, and the number "one" slowly fell on her palm.
Gao Huohuo's heart tightened and he was full of doubts, not knowing whether this represented a quarter of an hour or an hour.
After all, her fourth senior brother had done something confusing before, where he stretched out five fingers, but it turned out to mean counting down five numbers.
She couldn't be sure that Zhong Hanshang also had such a unique counting habit, so she hurriedly asked Zhong Hanshang on his palm for the exact duration.
An hour later, she received the accurate answer, and her heart finally settled down.
"Humph, I don't believe these guys can dig deep in the ground for an entire hour and still not give up!"
However, reality was like a loud slap in her face.
The situation was just as she had expected the worst - these Nascent Soul cultivators were like crazy.
He searched every inch of the land carefully, not leaving out any corner or crevices, as if he would not give up until he found his target.
They almost dived into the underground river to search, and searched repeatedly for several rounds, but no one showed any intention of leaving.
Seeing that time passed by little by little, Zhong Hanshang was probably reaching his limit.
Gao Huohuo was extremely anxious, his brain was working fast, and he was racking his brains to think about how to deal with this difficult situation next.
Suddenly, his body felt lighter and he was suddenly picked up by Zhong Hanshang, and then flew to the side like an arrow.
At the same time, a stream of spiritual power shot out with a bang, hitting the surface of the dark river heavily, splashing water everywhere, and hitting the mid-air position where they were previously.
Gao Huohuo understood what he meant and did not dare to delay at all. He ordered Ziying to turn back into a long whip and quickly tied the two people tightly together to prevent them from falling.
After drawing an arc in the air, the two men landed heavily on the edge of a cave.
However, this commotion eventually caused something to happen. One of the Nascent Soul cultivators seemed to sense something and his eyes swept over here in an instant like lightning.
Gao Huohuo's heart instantly rose to his throat, he held his breath, and his muscles were tense with nervousness.
Fortunately, the huge waves caused by the impact of spiritual power on the other side of the dark river roared and successfully attracted the attention of the monk, allowing them to escape by chance.
However, at this moment, the two bodies pressed tightly together became a new problem.
Zhong Hanshang held one hand tightly around Gao Huohuo's slender waist for protection. Such close contact made both of them blush with embarrassment and felt uncomfortable all over.
Fortunately, they had invisibility talismans on their bodies, so they couldn't see each other's embarrassed and shy expressions, which saved them some embarrassment.
"Don't worry, I won't let them take your weapon."
At this moment, Zhong Hanshang seemed to sense Gao Huohuo's uneasiness, and his fingertips slowly wrote these words on her palm, conveying silent but powerful comfort.
Gao Huohuo pursed her lips and did not respond. At this moment, she was full of anxiety and just wanted to escape from this dangerous place as soon as possible.
While everyone's attention was still firmly attracted by the dark river, Gao Huohuo seized the opportunity and quietly untied the Seven-Step Lock on Zhong Hanshang.
At the same time, he gently urged Ziying and carefully controlled the long whip, moving the two people towards the cave entrance little by little, moving so slowly for fear of causing any ripples.
Every inch I moved seemed to require all my strength.
Fortunately, the eyes of those monks seemed to be attracted by a magnet and were always focused on the dark river. No one noticed what was happening on their side.
After a few long minutes, they finally managed to escape from everyone's sight.
Gao Huohuo immediately ordered Ziying to loosen the restraints that bound the two people, and then quickly wrote the three words "go separately" on Zhong Hanshang's palm.
Then he disappeared without hesitation, vanishing from the spot in an instant. His movements were smooth and seamless.
Zhong Hanshang stood quietly there and waited for a moment, his powerful spiritual sense slowly extending to the surroundings like invisible tentacle.
After a careful search, until he was sure that there was no one around and no trace of danger, he suddenly realized that Gao Huohuo had already left.
The corners of his mouth rose slightly, revealing a faint smile that seemed both admiring and helpless. He then disappeared into the night and left quietly.
After Gao Huohuo left the dark river, he returned to the inn where he was staying to wait for Su Ruoyun.
