The cold fragrance gradually faded away, and the door of the stone palace was closed. Youmi closed her eyes tightly and leaned weakly against the stone pillar, her palms soaked with sweat.
Cang Xuan saw everything so clearly, but he could not see through Xi Meng's heart.
Cang Xuan still didn't kill her after all, but now she was in a worse situation than death. Just now, if the power of his fingertips was even half a point stronger, she could be freed.
At this moment, he could neither see nor speak, as if he were a living dead.
Although she couldn't win his heart, neither could anyone else.
In the quiet stone palace, the smile on the corner of Youmi's lips showed a sense of pride but also an unbearable loneliness.
The long corridor in the underground palace seems to be endless, extending in the darkness.
It has been nearly half an hour since Shi Meng followed Xiao Bai out of the stone hall and walked along the long corridor.
She asked him several times how far away the exit was, but he just said it was close and that she would be there soon.
There was no other way. Although Simeng was anxious, she did not dare to offend the little boy in white. After all, it was thanks to his cover along the way that she was not stopped by the guards.
There was a dim pearl shining under the pillars, but I still couldn't see the road ahead clearly.
Shi Meng held Xiao Bai's arm tightly, fearing that he would suddenly disappear and leave her alone in this terrifyingly quiet underground palace.
"Xiao Bai, are you sure this is the direction Madam told you? Why haven't you seen Senior Brother Mu after walking for a long time? Did you remember it wrong?" When the stone road under your feet was getting hotter and hotter, it seemed like a dream.
Finally couldn't help but ask again.
Xiaobai's fiery red eyes turned, and he raised his head with an innocent smile, and said: "Sister, don't worry, we will be there soon. Turn left in front and there is a stone gate. Through the stone gate, you can see a stone bridge. Sister is looking for it.
The people are locked up at the other end of the bridge."
Xi Meng was half-convinced and looked back at the way he came. He no longer knew how far he had gone and how many stone gates he had passed through.
"Believe in you again! You little devil, if you dare to lie to me, I will let Senior Brother Mu roast you and eat you later!" She threatened the little rabbit demon in front of her while striding forward.
Sure enough, after turning left and walking only ten steps, he saw a thick stone door. There was a wrench under the pearl on the stone wall on the left. Xiaobai stepped forward and pressed it gently, and the stone door was already open.
A wave of heat hit my face, and a stone bridge that was only wide enough for one person came into view. When I looked to both sides, I was so shocked that Xi Meng's feet went weak, and he quickly held on to the stone door to prevent him from falling.
Under the stone bridge, there were turbulent waves of magma. The wind from nowhere stirred up the magma and slapped it against the stone bridge wall from time to time. The bridge wall was reddened by the heat wave of the magma. Let alone walking through it, I was afraid that if I got even a little closer, I would be roasted.
The meat is dry.
As for the other end of the stone bridge, it is several feet away and cannot be seen clearly at all.
Shi Meng suddenly realized that she had been deceived, and wanted to lower her head to question the little rabbit demon who was walking with her, but when she lowered her head to look, the little boy in white was no longer around.
"Xiaobai! Xiaobai! Come out! You liar! I won't roast you and eat you!" Simeng roared angrily and wanted to turn around and leave, but she felt that the heat wave that hit her face seemed to be mixed with a faint...
The inaudible fragrance of wood made her tremble all over, and she immediately stood on the high threshold of the stone gate with her legs wide open, looking at the other side of the river.
"Senior Brother Mu! Senior Brother Mu! Is that you? Senior Brother Mu!"
The dreamlike shouts were soon drowned in the rolling heat wave, and there was no response.
The already hot Shimen was heating up rapidly at this moment. Shimeng seemed to smell the burning smell. The heat under her feet penetrated through the thick embroidered shoes and went straight to the soles of her feet. In just a few minutes, Shimeng could no longer stand the heat.
.
Just when Simeng was hesitating whether to risk crossing the stone bridge to find out what was going on, a very low sigh came to his ears. Although the voice sounded dry and hoarse, Simeng suddenly perked up, quickly adjusted his breath, and concentrated his energy.
Yufeng is close to the bridge wall.
"Mumu, wait for me! Wait for me! I'll be here soon! You must wait for me, I will definitely save you!" Simeng comforted herself while dodging the lava that came from the air from time to time, swaying and barely managing.
Walk in the wind.
Finally reaching the end of the bridge, she could clearly see the landscape here. When she raised her head, she could see the blue sky. However, the distance from the stone bridge was at least dozens of feet high. Occasionally, white clouds drifted by in the wind.
When I looked down, I saw hot magma pouring out from the abyss. The stone bridge led to an isolated island. The island was surrounded by magma, and there was no grass growing on the island.
There is a boulder rung in the center of the island, and it is difficult to see what is happening on the other side of the island.
Every step of this journey is a severe test for Simeng.
The corners of her skirt have already been burnt with countless small holes by the splashing magma. The small holes are gradually turning into large holes. Most of her calves are exposed. The originally flawless white jade skin is now covered in layers of wrinkles after being burned by the high temperature.
The skin will fall off at the slightest touch.
Another heat wave hit, Xi Meng endured the pain of cracked skin and quickly jumped to the end of the stone bridge.
The moment she landed, the woody fragrance in the air became stronger and stronger, which made Simeng's frown finally relax. No matter how the high temperature on the island tortured her feet, she had already raised her head and looked around for someone.
.
But at a glance, except for the dark stones, there was no light blue figure that she expected to see.
"Senior Brother Mu! Are you there? Senior Brother Mu!" Xi Meng walked on the slightly empty island, shouting his name hoarsely, searching for every possible hiding place. Time gradually passed, but there was still nothing.
As a result, her heart gradually fell into the abyss.
Simeng began to think about everything that had happened just now. Youmi obviously wanted to let her go and ordered the little rabbit demon to lead her. At that time, she only wanted to find Mu Zili and didn't think too much about it.
I just thought that Madam Youmi was kindhearted in helping her because she was a member of the Butterfly Clan and couldn't bear to see her suffer.
Now that I think about it carefully, I still feel a little weird.
With her current spiritual power, she had already tried her best to reach this isolated island.
If she couldn't find Mu Zili, she would have no choice but to go back the same way, but the heat wave of magma in front of her made her tremble uncontrollably.
There was a sudden tingling sensation on the shoulder blades. When Xi Meng raised her hand to touch it, she saw that the lavender wings had already spread out. She recalled in her mind the flying skills that Yifeng taught her that day. Suddenly she felt her body light up and had left the hot ground.
The thin butterfly wings are fluttering rapidly.
After searching for a long time, there was no trace of Mu Zili, and even the woody fragrance floating in the air gradually faded away.
When Meng Meng became more and more uneasy, a hoarse voice came from the other side of the boulder, "Meng'er, is that you?"
Shi Meng was stunned for a moment, suppressing the joy in her heart, fluttering her wings quickly and flying in the direction of the sound.
