Chapter 56 It's Okay to Be a Little Clumsy
Oh no, it'll be too late if we don't leave now.
Mu Jianjian ruthlessly activated her pupil technique, moving the two of them away.
At the same time, a figure appeared in the cave and threw the cultivator he was carrying directly into the blood pool.
The cultivator, who had been unconscious, began to thrash and scream as if he had been stung by something.
“Giggle, a little mouse has escaped, but it has short legs and can’t run far, so let’s…” Cai Chu didn’t even look at the ferocious-looking cultivator. He walked up to the docile toad, touched the poisonous bubble on its head, and scanned the remaining cultivators with his eyes. “You, then.”
Cai Chu grabbed the woman who had just begged Mu Jianjian for help, ignoring her struggles completely.
The area on the woman's wrist that was touched turned a strange purple and began to slowly peel.
On the other side.
Sang Wanyue felt as if she had been suddenly taken away from the rotten and disgusting place and placed against a quiet and clean stone wall. Her pale face looked a little better, but she still did not let her guard down.
"Who are you? Why did you save me?" In the dim light, she couldn't make out the person who was barely wearing a veil.
"Yueyue, don't be nervous, it's me, Yuanyuan," Mu Jianjian's heart ached as she looked at the injured Sang Wanyue. "Eat these first, I..."
Just as she was plucking the pine and cypress trees from the system space and handing them to the stunned woman, a scream echoed through the cave, and her hand trembled.
It was the woman who had just asked her for help.
“These leaves have healing properties, and the pills were given to me by Yu Yu before she left. She said they could neutralize most of the poison,” Mu Jianjian said, her gaze fixed, and she quickened her pace. “If you go left through this cave, you’ll get out. Ye Wuluo is on the cliff the whole time; you’ll be alright.”
Sang Wanyue was momentarily dazed.
She had experienced the secret realm in her previous life, and she knew that this trial was extremely disadvantageous for someone with such high cultivation, but she still couldn't help but break off relations with Ye Wulu over a trivial matter.
A lone woman was captured by a demonic cultivator and taken to a cave. Suppressed by the laws of the secret realm, she was unable to unleash her full strength. She was then poisoned and taken away by the demonic cultivator who was accompanied by a toad.
She didn't want to die; her mother was still waiting for her in the cult. But she also didn't want to break the "messenger talisman" that Ye Wulu had given her, hoping he would come to save her.
After being poisoned, she was tied up in a corner in a daze and on the verge of despair when a girl she had only met once came to her rescue.
Seeing the other person get up to leave, Sang Wanyue swallowed the pill and asked urgently, "Where are you going?"
“I’m going back to try,” Mu Jianjian knelt down in front of her again to reassure her patiently. “Don’t worry, I still understand the principle of running away if you can’t win.”
As the white-clad girl's figure disappeared into the shadows, Sang Wanyue lowered her eyes, feeling the pills gradually clearing the toxins from her body, and her limbs gradually regaining sensation.
Fool.
There's no way someone at the third level of Foundation Establishment could save someone at the peak of Foundation Establishment.
A gentle smile appeared on Sang Wanyue's usually cold face, making her even more alluring, accentuated by the beauty mark at the corner of her eye. She slowly stood up and walked in the exact opposite direction that Mu Jianjian had pointed out.
Each step bears the imprint of the girl's departing footsteps.
But it doesn't matter if she's a little slow, she's here with me.
——
Beside the blood pool of the Buddha statue in the grotto.
Cai Chu was excitedly fiddling with the girl's arm in front of him, watching strange purple blisters bulge on her skin and move up and down. Suddenly, he stopped and let out a cackling laugh.
"A little mouse has returned."
The moment he finished speaking, the white-clad girl appeared in front of him and quickly moved the screaming woman behind him, instantly widening the distance between them.
"Oh, oh, oh." A strange tone of voice escaped from Cai Chu's mouth, and his cloudy eyes suddenly flashed with excitement, like a hunter who had found his prey.
He sacrificed his own cultivation to come to the secret realm, firstly to find the best candidate for the humanoid Gu, and secondly to keep a close eye on Chi Qiong's son, Chi Wenqing, on the orders of the Demon Lord.
Since Chi Wenqing hadn't even seen a shadow of it, he could only focus his attention on the humanoid Gu.
I never expected to encounter an ancient, lost secret technique—
He had never seen such a rapid teleportation happen without even noticing it.
Cai Chu did not react to the girl distributing pills to the other bound people, but focused his attention entirely on the secret technique.
If he could seize and utilize this secret technique, he might receive a great reward from the Demon Lord.
Mu Jianjian quickly told the conscious people the route outwards. Before she could finish speaking, she seemed to sense something, turned around, and used the silkworm bone banner to block the venom that the toad was spitting out.
"Ah... little mouse, you've given me so many surprises! Isn't this the Silkworm Bone Banner?"
Cai Chu felt that his decision to abandon his cultivation to enter the secret realm was absolutely right. He had searched three feet into the ground but couldn't find Chi Wenqing. It turned out that all the luck that God had given him was waiting for him here.
Back then, he had asked that woman, Linghu, for the Silkworm Bone Banner several times. That woman was like a madwoman and almost killed him. Decades later, this thing reappeared in front of him.
It was holding a little mouse.
Mu Jianjian's expression was aloof. She quickly approached the old man, gently surveyed her surroundings, and began to arrange her formation using the silkworm bone banner.
Because the original book describes her senior brother facing off against Cai Chu, she knew that the person opposite her had entered a secret realm by abandoning their own cultivation, and that there was not a significant difference in their cultivation levels.
All she needed to do was avoid poisoning, or rather, get to the bottom of it before she got poisoned.
Those cultivators who were bound had already left, leaving two unconscious ones who couldn't escape, and a woman rescued by Mu Jianjian. She watched the white-clad girl and the old man fighting evenly, her eyes filled with gratitude.
Damn it!
Cai Chu narrowed his small eyes. He hadn't expected that his opponent could predict and dodge every single one of his poisons.
This person seemed to have precognition, and every landing point perfectly avoided the attacks of the Gu worms and the poisonous gas array. He could even use the Silkworm Bone Banner to devise a strategy of mutual restraint to counterattack.
I underestimated her...
He wanted to see just how lucky he could be.
He chuckled, "My little darling, come here."
Mu Jianjian's pupils contracted slightly. She stared intently at the toad next to Cai Chu. After she turned around, another toad with a long, thick tongue quickly reached out towards her arm!
Why are there two?
A strange black smoke was rising from her tongue. Just as she was about to raise her hand to cut it off, Cai Chu pressed close behind her again!
If there's no way to avoid it, then she can only make a sacrifice; Mu Jianjian's attitude was resolute.
"Click-clack—"
As the sound of the toad's severed tongue fell, a blue figure quickly stood beside Mu Jianjian.
