A cool sensation swept over her hand, and she could feel wisps of spiritual energy surging within. Ji Jiuying felt refreshed, and her eyes flickered slightly. Her intuition told her that there was definitely more to this wall than met the eye.
"Mother, what are you doing?"
Xiao Huang'er noticed that Ji Jiuying was staring blankly at the wall and asked in confusion.
"Little Phoenix, this wall seems a bit strange."
Strange? Little Phoenix's crimson eyes narrowed into slits. What was strange about it? Just as she was about to say something, Ji Jiuying seemed to have touched a switch and was instantly sucked into the wall by a suction force, while Little Phoenix crashed headfirst into the white wall and then slid to the ground, feeling dizzy and lightheaded.
After a while, he stumbled and got up from the ground.
"Mother? Mother?"
"Mother, can you hear me?"
Xiao Huang'er anxiously pounded on the white wall, but whether she tried to contact Ji Jiuying through soul or telepathy, she received no response. She couldn't even enter through the contract.
"Mother... Waaah..."
Little Phoenix couldn't care less about anything else, so she transformed into human form and went to the place where Ji Jiuying had disappeared, patting it incessantly, but after half a day, there was still no result.
In the bamboo forest, Xiao Yichen saw Ji Jiuying being sucked into the white wall. His brows furrowed slightly. Why was she so curious... He really didn't know whether to say she was lucky or unlucky. However, this might also be her opportunity.
——
Ji Jiuying staggered a few steps, then steadied herself. At the same time, a sinister aura rushed towards her, and the surroundings were eerily quiet. Ji Jiuying's body shivered involuntarily.
Ji Jiuying sensed that she was surrounded by all sorts of formations, and dared not move her feet even slightly, lest she fall into a formation illusion.
【Little Phoenix? Little Phoenix?】
Ji Jiuying tried to contact Xiao Huang'er, but couldn't reach her no matter what she tried. Summoning her with a soul contract didn't work either, which made her somewhat worried.
This stone wall must contain some kind of restriction, which is why it severed the connection between you.
The voice of the evil fire echoed in her mind, and Ji Jiuying was overjoyed. The space was still there, and she could control the evil fire with her mind to appear in her hand. As long as the space could be used, that was good.
Evil fire: ......
Ji Jiuying's eyes warily scanned her surroundings. She felt as if she were in a tomb with bare walls. Her gaze lingered on the stone coffin not far away, and her brows furrowed slightly. No wonder it was so eerie.
Although the surrounding atmosphere was chilling and terrifying, the spiritual energy inside was exceptionally rich. The spiritual energy that she had just suppressed began to boil again, and no matter how hard she tried to suppress it, she couldn't. Ji Jiuying's heart sank. This was not a good place to advance!
He flashed into the space, sat cross-legged without saying a word, and began to circulate his spiritual energy, constantly circulating it through his meridians to temper his five spiritual roots.
Hei Xiangling, Dongfang Yao, and others also stayed by her side to protect her.
——
Outside, Little Phoenix's throat was hoarse from shouting. She leaned weakly against the white wall. Just then, a series of scattered sounds came from not far away. Little Phoenix flew up alertly and hid in the dense branches of the tree.
"It seems we've reached the end of the Purple Forest."
"What does the end of this secret realm look like? I've never seen it before. Let's go take a look."
“Xin’er, don’t be silly. This Purple Forest is full of dangers. I’d better be careful.”
"Brother, I'm just curious."
"Xin'er, just listen to Brother Jiang. We've accumulated quite a few points, and now is the perfect time to leave and find the spiritual treasure."
"Lan Zhao, if you don't speak, no one will think you're dead!"
Lan Zhao: ······
Lan Zhao and Jiang Ling looked at Feng Yu helplessly. Only then did Feng Yu speak up, "Xin'er, don't be silly. What Jiang Ling and Lan Zhao said makes sense."
Jiang Xin then pursed her lips and reluctantly nodded.
"Okay, okay, I won't go then."
As Xiao Huang'er watched the group leave, her mind raced. Were they going to find the spiritual treasures? Now that her mother was imprisoned, would she miss them? No, she had to get lots of spiritual treasures for her mother. With that thought, Xiao Huang'er quietly followed behind them.
After about the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Feng Yu frowned and looked back from time to time. Jiang Ling also noticed that something was wrong with him and asked in confusion, "Feng Yu, what's wrong?"
Hearing Jiang Ling's words, the group looked at Feng Yu with confusion.
"Throughout the journey, I always felt like something was following us."
As soon as Feng Yu finished speaking, the group looked behind them warily, probing with their divine senses. But they found nothing.
"Brother Yu, are you overthinking it?"
"Yes, I didn't sense anyone nearby either."
"Nothing was found."
Jiang Ling also spoke up.
"I hope so..." Actually, Feng Yu wasn't sure either. Seeing that none of them reacted, he thought maybe he was just overthinking it.
Hiding in the shadows, Xiao Huang'er breathed a sigh of relief. Her mother's cousin was quite capable, as he was able to sense her presence.
At this moment!
A rustling sound came from the bushes not far away. The group looked ahead warily and saw a huge creature wriggling towards them.
It is a level nine peak sharp-beaked lizard.
The lizard hadn't expected to encounter humans, and the two sides remained locked in a stalemate. However, Feng Yu noticed that the lizard was injured, presumably after a recent battle.
"Brother Yu, this level nine spirit beast seems to be injured."
"Yes, we made a fortune this time." Lan Zhao gripped his weapon tightly and laughed.
"How about we work together to kill it?"
"good."
The voices of several people were accompanied by the roars of sharp-beaked lizards.
The group surrounded the level-nine lizard. The lizard's eyes flashed with ferocity, and its tall body leaped into the air, an imminent battle.
Feng Yu narrowed his eyes and attacked the wound of the level nine lizard frantically, but the level nine lizard did not deliberately dodge, as if it could not feel the pain. Although it was injured, its combat power was still not to be underestimated.
Despite his massive size, he moved with agility and ferocity. Jiang Ling and Lan Zhao, who were fighting him head-on, were quickly put at a disadvantage. After two or three rounds, the two were sent flying like kites with broken strings.
Bang! Bang!
Jiang Ling was luckier than Lan Zhao, collapsing in an open area, while Lan Zhao fell into a thicket of bushes. The poison of the plants instantly paralyzed his entire body, and his lips gradually turned purple.
Feng Yu's heart sank: "Xin'er, go and see Lan Zhao."
"good."
Just as Jiang Xin was about to step forward, the sharp-beaked lizard thought she was about to launch a sneak attack, and its huge tail slammed hard in front of her. Jiang Xin was startled and quickly dodged back.
Jiang Ling wiped the blood from his mouth and continued to distract the sharp-beaked lizard so that Xin'er could go around to save Lan Zhao.
Little Phoenix, watching from the shadows, knew that by the time they arrived, Lan Zhao would likely have already been poisoned to death. However, Lan Zhao, unwilling to be a burden to them, endured the excruciating pain and slowly got up, taking out the teleportation bead from his ring.
Just as he was about to crush it, a crimson bird flew down and landed on his shoulder.
