The group of people in the swamp were not far from where they were initially hesitant to move. After trying to swim for a while, they saw hope and became bolder. Sometimes what people lack is a sense of security. Once they had no more worries, it didn't take them long to swim from the middle of the swamp to the shore.
Seeing them covered in mud as they reached the shore, Geng Qi said, "That's enough, go ahead and pull them!"
The shore does not absorb spiritual energy, and he has no doubt about Rong Yu's abilities.
With a flick of the long whip, as if fishing, the heroine who had fallen into the swamp was pulled up.
Poetry often praises people emerging from the bath, but Geng Qi only saw a clay figure being unearthed. What was surprising was that at the moment of its emergence, a person was still hanging on the hand that was covered in black paste. Due to a sudden swing, the hand slipped off, revealing a wrist that had been pinched and turned blue and purple, showing how hard the person had pinched it.
"Junior Sister Zhou!"
The woman, who had just reached the shore and hadn't even had a chance to catch her breath, cried out in alarm. Seeing the man fall back into the mud, she grabbed Geng Qi and pleaded, "Senior brother, please save my junior sister!"
Geng Qi was startled by the pair of dark hands and instinctively took half a step back. A black muddy handprint was already stuck to the hem of his clothes. He glanced at the person who was already submerged in the mud and frowned, saying, "She's beyond saving."
"No, she hasn't been down for long. We can pull her up!"
"..."
When he said there was no hope, he meant that when he pulled Su Mo'er up, the person was already a corpse!
Seeing that he did not respond, the man turned to look at the person behind him, and his body, which had been curled up, knelt straight. "Please, Master, save my junior sister. Once we leave the secret realm, Jiyun Palace will surely reward you handsomely."
"Are you from Jiyun Palace?"
Before Rong Yu could speak, Geng Qi interrupted him.
Although the woman had turned into a mud figure, a few pieces of her clothing in front still revealed some color—a dark blue gauze, which was indeed the uniform of a disciple of the Jiyun Palace.
The man thought he had agreed and excitedly looked up, saying, "Yes."
Geng Qi frowned slightly.
He didn't have a good impression of the two halls of the Immortal Sect. First, there was the sneak attack on Qing Han by the people from the two halls of the Yan Dan Sect, and then there was the provocation of Rong Yu by several elders of the Tian Zhi Sect. But the anxious emotion in the eyes of the person in front of him was so obvious, and he was quite loyal to his fellow disciples.
He sighed helplessly and said, "Your junior sister is dead."
"How could this be..." the woman murmured, then suddenly looked at Su Mo'er, who was being supported by someone: "She and this young lady fell in at the same time. This young lady is still fine, so Junior Sister Zhou must still be alive!"
Geng Qi looked in the direction she pointed and saw that the female protagonist who had been pulled out had caught her breath and was circulating her spiritual power to recover.
She's been stuck in the swamp for so long, but she looks perfectly fine!
Geng Qi couldn't help but take another look, and then said, "Whether she was alive before or not, there's no way to save her now."
They're stuck in a quagmire, and there's no way to turn things around.
The woman was still unwilling to give up. She glanced at the now flat swamp, gritted her teeth, and still didn't dare to speak again.
The group found the nearest pool of water to clean themselves off, then boarded a flying boat and left the swamp. As soon as they boarded, Geng Qi felt a wave of drowsiness and couldn't help but yawn.
Rong Yu sat behind him, letting him lean on her: "Tired?"
"Mmm." Geng Qi softened and snuggled closer to him.
"Take a nap."
Geng Qi shook his head again and said, "No need, let's find someone first."
He had originally planned to look for other acquaintances, but after seeing the swamp, he couldn't help but become impatient.
The teleportation array at the entrance to the secret realm is completely unpredictable. The second level is already so troublesome, and who knows where Qinghan has been sent? If something happens to him, the scorpion will sting him to death!
He brought people to the secret realm, not to send them to their deaths!
Rong Yu knew he was worried, so he didn't say anything more.
The flying boat went straight to the magic array, and the group headed straight for the third level. The divine sense imprint they had set up was finally able to be sensed. However, when they finally found the person, they realized that they had been worrying for nothing.
Beneath the flying boat lay a verdant expanse, a lake surrounded by a pine forest. On the lakeshore, Qing Han was helping someone sit down on the grass. Sensing the approaching flying boat, he looked up, his spirits lifting, and said, "Young Master?"
Geng Qi was the first to jump off the flying boat and ran to him, asking, "Are you alright?"
Qinghan shook his head: "It's nothing, young master. How about you?"
"I'm fine!" Geng Qi was about to turn his head when his gaze fell on someone, and his eyes darkened slightly as he asked, "And who is this?"
“He…” Qinghan turned around, “This young master is someone I just met. He’s blind and almost walked into the water. I happened to see him, so…”
Qinghan noticed that his expression was strange, but couldn't figure out what was wrong.
Geng Qi stared at the person behind him for a while, then smiled slightly and said, "Can't see him? What a coincidence."
