The long steps are very narrow, and the width is only enough for two people to walk side by side.

Jiang Yan is impatient and courageous. He rushed to the front and insisted that he likes to take the lead.

Yu Xingwu followed behind Feng Chen and Ye Su, with Shen Zhuo beside her. When they stepped down the long stairs, the surroundings fell into darkness. She subconsciously held Shen Zhuo's hand.

Then, Shen Zhuo held it in his backhand and squeezed it into his palm. Feeling the warmth of Shen Zhuo's palm, he felt inexplicably at ease.

Although there was no lighting and they did not bring any fire starters, fortunately she had fire spirit roots, and the hand that was not being held condensed a beam of fire to illuminate.

Jiang Yan walked in front and lit a fire talisman for lighting. Su Zisheng and Su Qianning also lit fire talismans, and the surroundings were also illuminated.

The long steps extended infinitely downwards, and Yu Xingwu couldn't count how many steps she had climbed.

It seemed that as long as they didn't stop, they would be able to keep walking endlessly and never see the end.

No one knew how much time had passed, an hour, or maybe two, and everyone's patience was exhausted.

She even felt dazed. If she hadn't heard footsteps and the sound of the wind, and the light shining on the long stairs, Yu Xingwu would have thought that she was trapped in some kind of illusion.

“Damn it! Is this the passage leading to the source of the underground dragon vein? I’ve been walking for so long and I haven’t reached the end yet. This is so weird!”

Su Qianning: "Big Brother, Fourth Junior Brother, have we entered a certain formation or illusion? Otherwise, why haven't we reached the end yet? How about we go back and try?"

Jiu Qing shook his head upon hearing this: "Don't go back, Senior Sister Su. We have been walking for several hours now, and we may have reached the source of the dragon vein. We can't give up halfway!"

Bai Ran: "Brother Su, Fourth Brother, have you noticed anything unusual? But as Sister Su said, have we really entered a certain formation or illusion? Could this long staircase be fake?"

Jiang Yan frowned and said nothing. Su Zisheng shook his head and said, "I didn't notice anything unusual. I don't know if we have entered a certain formation or if everything in front of us is an illusion. There is no other way now. We can only keep moving forward."

Yu Xingwu also disagreed with going back. A good horse never turns back to eat grass! Besides, they had been walking for several hours, so it would take several more hours to go back, and they still returned empty-handed.

No matter what, you have to keep going, even if you hit your head against a wall, you have to listen to the sound!

The little rabbit jumped down from Yu Xingwu's shoulder and immediately ran to the front of the team: "Sister, I run fast. I will go ahead and explore the way!"

After saying that, he disappeared in a flash, running faster than a rabbit!

Seeing that the little rabbit had disappeared, the group quickened their pace. However, before they had walked for a while, a cool breeze blew by, bringing with it a moist vapor.

At the same time, the faint sound of flowing water reached everyone's ears.

"It's the sound of water! The sound of water flowing from the end of the long steps! It could be an underground river or lake!"

Yun Xiao's voice was filled with excitement that could not be concealed. Not to mention Yun Xiao, Yu Xingwu was also extremely excited. If they continued walking endlessly, she would really go crazy.

At this time, the little rabbit's voice came faintly along with the sound of the wind: "Sister!

"Go! Go and see quickly,

Jiang Yan's feet were so fast that he disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Everyone followed closely behind. Jiuqing was in a good mood and even hummed a few tunes, as if he had discovered a treasure underground.

After walking down about a few hundred steps, the temperature began to drop sharply, approaching below zero.

As soon as I reached the end, a fresh fragrance hit me in the face and my vision suddenly became clear, as if I had entered another world.

Yu Xingwu paused, and the first thing that caught her eye was a huge underground lake.

Due to the low underground temperature, a thick layer of ice has formed on the surface of the blue lake. At first glance, it looks like a blue mirror.

The ice surface is crystal clear and you can see the water ripples flowing beneath the ice at a glance.

Yu Xingwu was still quite curious. The lake was clearly frozen, so where did the sound of flowing water come from?

Suddenly, a cool breeze blew, and the fragrance that I had just smelled rushed into my nose again.

At this time, everyone shifted their gaze from the lake to the lakeside:

The entire lake was surrounded by flowers, and the fragrance they smelled was undoubtedly the fragrance of these flowers.

Yu Xingwu's eyes narrowed slightly, and she bent down. There were several similar flowers where she stood.

It was the first time she had seen such a special flower. It looked like an ice lotus but not really one. Each petal looked like a silver ice crystal and could even reflect her own shadow.

Two words – strange!

Just as she was staring at her own shadow on the petals, a familiar breath approached. The next second, her eyes were covered and she fell into darkness. It was Shen Zhuo who covered her eyes with his hands.

My heart was beating fast, and I was thinking: [What is he doing? Why did he suddenly cover my eyes with his hands? Does he want to kiss me? But the position is wrong! Can he kiss me like this?]

System: OK, OK, the silly host is really in love!

Feng Chen: ...What are you thinking about! Your teacher should punish you to copy the words "pure heart and few desires" a thousand times!

Ye Su:... Junior sister’s thoughts are always like this... ahem... fortunately, Second Junior Brother doesn’t want to kiss her.

Shen Zhuo: ...If you want, it's not impossible now...This posture is not difficult.

Shen Zhuo moved closer, and at this moment, Su Qianning, who smelled the fragrance, was also attracted by the flowers under her feet. She bent down and stared at one of the flowers for a long time.

Su Zishen, who was beside him, noticed something was wrong and called out to Su Qianning, only to see Su Qianning kneeling on the ground with a plop and spitting out a mouthful of blood.

Hearing the noise, Yu Xingwu's thoughts were pulled back to reality. She subconsciously pulled down Shen Zhuo's hand. She saw Su Qianning with blood oozing from the corner of her mouth not far away, and was completely shocked.

"Third Junior Sister!" Su Zishen and Jiang Yan were also frightened and hurried forward to help Su Qianning up.

Jiang Yan looked confused and had no idea why Su Qianning suddenly vomited blood!

"No! It's these flowers!" Yu Xingwu said firmly, having realized what was going on.

Although she didn't recognize these flowers, it was obvious that Su Qianning's vomiting of blood must be related to these flowers. Shen Zhuo covered her eyes not because he wanted to kiss her, but to block her sight and prevent her from looking at these flowers!

[Tong, what kind of flower is this? Do you know why Su Qianning vomited blood? ]

Feng Chen: Traitor, your master is standing right here. If you have any questions, you go ask others instead of asking your master first!

Ye Su: What on earth is this "Tong"? If I didn't have this "Tong", my junior sister would definitely ask me first when she encountered rare flowers and plants.

Shen Zhuo: If Su Qianning hadn't vomited blood, I could have kissed her as she wished.
