Under the heavy fog, the geographical environment of Yunshan became strange and changeable. Such an ordinary mountain actually trapped many cultivators.

After entering the mountain, many cultivators wandered in the forest for several days, but they could not even walk out of a small forest.

Even Pei Jingchao, who had reached the middle stage of Yuanying, fell in this fog.

They were a group of six people, all disciples of the twelve major immortal sects, the new generation of the immortal world. Four of them were direct disciples of Lishan Sword Sect, and the other two were disciples of Chiyang Sect and Shanyin Zhaohua Palace. These two sects were on good terms with Lishan and specially sent disciples to help Lishan find the sword-suppressing stone.

But they had been in this maze for seven days and tried every possible way, but still could not break through it.

"I have seen this kind of maze in an ancient book," said Shen Qingzhi. He was from Shanyin Zhaohua Palace, where people mainly practiced talisman formations, so he naturally knew more about maze formations than others. "The book records a formation called Ten Demon Formations, which, as the name suggests, is a formation of ten great demons. One of the magic formations is this kind of maze."

"The demon that can cast this kind of maze is called 'Earth Turbidity'. It is a demon born from the turbidity of the world gathered in the abysses and gullies. Therefore, Earth Turbidity has the power of thousands of mountains and rivers in its body. Under the cover of its maze, it can turn sand into mountains and water into seas."

Shen Qingzhi leaned over and dug up a handful of soil from the ground, crushing it with his fingers. "We have been running around in the mountains for so many days, and who knows, we are just spinning around in a few small piles of soil."

"I remember it was written in the book that this maze cuts off spiritual energy, and the mist is full of filth and foulness. If we are trapped here for a long time, our spiritual roots will degenerate, and we will gradually become mortals who are unable to practice, and then die prematurely."

The physical practitioner of the Red Yang Sect rubbed the muscles on his arms arrogantly and irritably, and said in a rough voice: "Damn it! No wonder I feel that my meridians have become more and more stagnant in the past two days!"

The others also nodded in agreement. In the past few days since they entered the maze, they always felt that their spiritual energy was not flowing smoothly and their cultivation was scattered. It turned out that it was not an illusion.

"I also felt that my cultivation level was declining, so I suddenly remembered the book." Shen Qingzhi said this, rubbing the sand in his hands. Not only was he not worried, but his face showed some excitement that was hard to hide, and he looked at the plants and trees around him.

A monster like the ground mud may not be born for a thousand years, so Shen Qingzhi had only seen the record about it in the book. When he first entered this maze, he didn't think about the ground mud at all.

It was not until now that everyone clearly felt that their cultivation level was declining that he made such a guess.

Seeing that he was so excited, as if he had encountered some rare treasure, Yao Yuxiu couldn't help but said angrily: "You said so much, can you break it?"

Pei Jingchao stretched out his hand to grab her wrist, frowned and said: "Yuxiu, don't be anxious, don't be rude to Senior Brother Shen."

"Senior Brother..." Yao Yuxiu turned her eyes and glanced at him, her eyes were resentful and aggrieved.

These damn monsters broke into the mountain and stole the Zhenjian Stone on the day of her and Pei Jingchao's wedding, and also used despicable means to hurt her father. How could she not be anxious?

She had been looking forward to the wedding banquet for so long, and she had personally prepared for several months. She had spent countless days and nights stitching the wedding dress herself, but she couldn't even wear it, and she couldn't even step into the wedding hall, because it was ruined by this change. She didn't know how many people were laughing at her behind her back.

How could she not be anxious?

Yao Yuxiu's eyes were slightly red, with tears in them. She wanted to eat these damn monsters alive and chop these rats in the gutter into pieces.

"Yuxiu." Pei Jingchao whispered her name again, stroking her wrist lightly with his fingertips, and shook his head disapprovingly.

His eyes were gentle and tolerant, revealing a convincing calmness, and he said in a firm tone: "We will definitely be able to find the Sword-Suppressing Stone and wipe out these monsters in this cholera world."

Under his gaze, Yao Yuxiu took a few deep breaths, suppressed the surging emotions in her heart, and said reluctantly: "I'm sorry, Brother Shen."

Shen Qingzhi waved his hands and didn't take it to heart. He continued: "If we want to break this maze, we must first find the source of the filth."

"There is thick fog everywhere here, we can't see the sun and the moon, and the compass is ineffective. We don't even know where we are. How can we find its source?" another sword cultivator from the Lishan Sword Sect asked anxiously.

His cultivation was not as stable as others. After staying here for a few days, his Yuanying realm had begun to loosen, and he could no longer suppress the chaotic sword energy in his body. If he continued to stay in this maze, he would probably fall from the Yuanying realm.

The thick fog obscured his vision, and he could not observe the terrain of the surrounding mountains. Shen Qingzhi could only identify the types and growth of the plants around him. He immersed himself in studying the soil, rocks and grass on the ground, and everyone followed him.

Shen Qingzhi said: "The muddy ground is the devil of the abyss, just like water likes to flow to the low places. As long as we find the lowest place in this land, its true body must be there."

Pei Jingchao thought after hearing this: "This landform is illusory and real, and I don't know whether it is true or false. There is also thick fog covering it, so it may be difficult to find it."

"Yes." Shen Qingzhi sighed, "But there is only this way to break the formation, so we can only try it anyway."

...

In the valley between the two peaks, there is rarely much white fog covering this place. The warm sunshine of early spring falls down, shining on the steamy hot spring lake.

This lake is not big, but it is very deep and green. The water in the center is deep and bottomless, and it looks dark because light cannot penetrate.

A red-crowned crane with bright feathers stood in the shallow water, preening its feathers. Yu Yi rolled up his trousers and stepped into the warm spring water, scooped up water and poured it over it, then watched Senior Brother Crane spread his wings, splashing water everywhere.

Yu Yi raised his hands to block the flying water, his eyes curved into a pair of crescents, and his smile was brighter than the sunlight in the sky.

The woman's silver bell-like laughter floated into the cabin by the hot spring lake. A slender figure stood in front of the window facing the lake. The shadow of the window frame shrouded his face, covering his eyes in shadow, but a strange silver light flashed faintly in the depths of his pupils.

Xue Chenjing held a kitchen knife in his right hand, and under the slender five fingers of his left hand was a piece of fat and lean pork belly. He had driven the bone demon to bring back a wild boar from the mountain early in the morning, and this was just cut from it .

- Just because Yu Yi said that she wanted to eat hot pot pork today.

He stared at the people playing with the fairy cranes in the lake with gloomy eyes, and cut the pork belly in his hand into evenly thin slices. He imagined that the blade was cutting Yu Yi's body, shaving off her fair skin and flesh piece by piece.

"Ah, master, when you cut the vegetables, keep your eyes on the chopping board, you cut your hand!" The system suddenly shouted in his ear.

Xue Chenjing felt a sharp pain in his fingers. He looked down and saw a deep cut on the knuckles of his index and middle fingers, where the bone was visible. He gulped in pain, but swallowed it back and pursed his lips tightly.

The bone demon smelled the scent of his blood, and suddenly jumped in from the window of the backyard of the cottage, knocking over the furniture in the house and running wildly to Xue Chenjing.

But a white mist floated in from the window faster than it, like a snow-white cloud, completely covering the chopping board, licking the blood off the chopping board, and then bounced to Xue Chenjing's hand in an instant, suddenly condensing into a soft, flowing white ball, wrapping his injured finger. The

bone demon didn't even catch a drop of blood, his eyes almost fell off his face, and he was so angry that his ten fingers were biting the ground and his teeth were chattering.

Yu Yi's voice came from the lakeside, and she said loudly: "Ah Qiu, what's wrong? I seem to hear some sound."

Xue Chenjing bit his back teeth and squeezed out two words from his teeth, "It's okay."

He waved his hand to shake off the dirt wrapped around his fingers, and the wounds on his fingers grew tender buds and quickly grew together.

The bone demon stared at his healed fingers reluctantly, and then raised his head to stare into his eyes.

Xue Chenjing knew what it was expecting from its stupid expression, raised his foot and stepped on its face, and said: "Get out, don't let her see it."

The bone demon had a fresh footprint on its face, drooped its head, and climbed out of the back window with a depressed look, and retreated back into the woods.

Xue Chenjing's eyes fell back on the half-cut meat on the chopping board. He raised his hand and chopped it with a knife. His voice was as cold as if it contained crushed ice: "Re-cooked meat? Why should I cook re-cooked meat for her here?"

The system kept soothing him: "Master, master, the favorability of the target has increased to 6%. You have to be patient and you will soon complete the system task."

"Six percent." Xue Chenjing repeated word by word. The system's words not only failed to soothe him, but made him even angrier.

A thin red of anger appeared on his jade-white cheeks, and the corners of his eyes, which were drawn with a single stroke of ink, showed red marks. His eyelashes were wet, and he sneered in a heavy breath: "Oh, her favorability towards her husband is only six percent."

No, less than six percent.

That day, when Yu Yi woke up from his arms, her dark eyes stared at him for a long time, she put her arms around his neck and came up, gently rubbing his face, the girl's voice was soft and coquettish, she called him sweetly, "Husband."

Xue Chenjing was overjoyed at that moment, and then the system made a sound in his head, telling him that the heroine's favorability towards him was 4%.

As soon as the system finished speaking, the favorability immediately dropped to 3%.

3%.

How dare she call him husband!

The current 6% was finally raised by him in the past few days of responding to every request and working hard.

The system was speechless: "…………" How did you get the title of "husband", don't you know it in your heart? You

can't get sincerity by cheating!

In the hot spring lake, Yu Yi had already come out of the water, but she was still squatting by the water, stretching her neck to look into the water. The red-crowned crane ran to the center of the water, and was just waving its butt, burying its head in the water, and looking into the bottom of the deep lake.

Just now, they saw a large group of white shadows passing through the black hole in the center of the lake. Many bubbles gurgled out of the water, and a lot of water mist floated out of the bubbles, covering the lake surface.

Senior Brother Crane wandered in the center of the lake for a long time, but did not find anything unusual. Instead, he felt a little dizzy. He didn't know if it was because he had been soaking for too long. He floated back from the lake in a daze, and the whole crane lay on the rocks on the shore like a pile of mud, and quacked twice weakly.

Yu Yi hurriedly checked it carefully, and only breathed a sigh of relief after confirming that it was fine.

She glanced at the center of the lake, and hurriedly returned to the wooden house with worry, and said to Xue Chenjing: "Aqiu, there seems to be something at the bottom of the hot spring lake in front of our house."

Xue Chenjing paused and said vaguely: "You must have seen it wrong. What can be in the water? Don't let your imagination run wild."

[System: Ding--Triggering a temporary strategy task now, please pay attention to the host, the target of the strategy got her clothes wet when playing in the water, please seize the opportunity, half-kneel in front of her, gently lift up her skirt, and dry her clothes for her. Xue Chenjing

heard the system's voice and glanced at Yu Yi. As expected, her dress was half wet, and the light green skirt stuck to her legs, outlining her slender and straight legs.

He turned his back to Yu Yi, twitched the corners of his mouth viciously, turned around and walked towards her, half-crouched down according to the system's instructions, held her dripping skirt with both hands, and used his spiritual power to dry the wet fabric.

Yu Yi looked down at the boy half-kneeling in front of her, reached out and touched his head, smiled sweetly: "Ah Qiu, you are so good to me, I like you so much."

Xue Chen looked up, staring at her with dark eyes, and asked: "Really? How much do you like me?"

"I like you very much. I like you the most in this world." Yu Yi said with a smile, her fingers slid down to his face, gently stroking the upturned corners of his eyes.

The boy's skin was slightly cold, his eyebrows and eyes were dark, as if drawn in ink, and there was a lingering red halo at the end of his eyes, as if he had cried. When he looked up at her from the bottom up like this, he looked pitiful and particularly lovable.

This appearance is really good-looking.

Xue Chenjing half-closed one eye because of her touch, and asked in his heart: "Favorability."

System: "..."

It took a long time before it tremblingly answered: "One hundred, five percent."

Very good, he said it so sweetly, but the favorability actually dropped!

Xue Chenjing was so angry that his chest heaved, and the corners of his eyes became redder, as if he would not be able to hold back tears in the next moment.

Ripples appeared in the empty air of the wooden house, and transparent and sticky tentacles squeezed out of the air, lingering behind Yu Yi, swinging their thick tentacles, wishing to wrap around her body, tighten, wriggle, entangle, crush her bones inch by inch, and then swallow her flesh and blood, eating her up without leaving a trace.

The system screamed, "Master, calm down! Think about the swordstone, you will be able to open it soon!"

Yu Yi blinked innocently and asked in confusion, "Husband, why are you unhappy? Don't you like to hear me say I like you?"

Xue Chenjing smiled and said, "I like it. I like it very much."
