Lu Youyou did not relax his vigilance, but felt even more weird.
After a while, there was the sound of soft footsteps.
Following the footsteps was Ye Ziwu's voice.
"Yuyou, I finally found you."
A tall figure loomed, approaching.
Because of the thick fog, he could only vaguely see his figure, but not his face.
But judging from the voice, there is no doubt that this person is Ye Ziwu.
Lu Youyou was relieved, and rushed over to hug the man's waist. She was about to ask him if he was injured, but found that his body was cold and without any warmth.
Lu Youyou was stunned.
"Fifth Senior Brother, why is your body so cold?"
The man's voice was calm: "The battle with the Nine-Tailed Snake just consumed too much mana."
Is that true? After a monk consumes mana, his body will become cold?
Why have I never seen such a setting when reading novels before?
She forced down her doubts and asked:
"Fifth Senior Brother, when will we return to the sect?"
"Senior brother, I will take you back right now."
The man bent down and took Lu Youyou's little hand.
His hands were also extremely cold. When the palms of the two people touched each other, Lu Youyou couldn't help but feel cold in the soles of her feet, and the coldness spread throughout her body.
What made her feel most uncomfortable was that the palms of the fifth brother's palms were not only cold, but also greasy, like...snake skin.
Lu Youyou was startled by her own thoughts. She raised her head and carefully looked at the man beside her.
But no matter how hard I looked, I couldn't see his face, the fog was too heavy.
The man pulled her to walk in the thick fog, as if the thick fog in front of him had no effect on him at all.
Lu Youyou wanted to throw his hand away, but failed several times. She suppressed her disgust and asked tentatively:
"Why can the fifth senior brother's eyes see the road, but I can't?"
"Because I have cultivation and can release my spiritual consciousness."
The man gave the answer, but Lu Youyou still felt uneasy.
"Senior brother, why don't we use our swords to fly out of the misty forest?"
As soon as these words came out, the man's footsteps obviously paused. Lu Youyou waited for his next words, but he didn't say anything. He grabbed her and continued to move forward, faster and faster.
Lu Youyou's calves were too short to keep up with his pace, so she was not being pulled by him at all, but more like being carried.
There was something wrong with this situation. Even if Ye Ziwu didn't treat her very much, he wouldn't treat her like this.
"Who are you? Let me go."
The man didn't answer, and the speed became faster and faster.
Even if Lu Youyou couldn't see the road, he could tell by the sound of the wind that his speed was extremely fast, which was beyond the reach of a normal person.
"let me go--"
Lu Youyou struggled hard, but with her mortal body, how could she break free and drive away from the man.
"You are not the fifth senior brother, who are you?"
"Fifth Senior Brother, come and save me——"
No matter how much Lu Youyou yells or makes a fuss, the man just won't let go.
Unable to wait for Ye Ziwu to come, Lu Youyou's heart gradually sank.
She couldn't see clearly who was holding her.
In other words, he is not a human being at all? If he is a human being, why is his whole body so cold that it makes people feel horrified.
What to do? How to get rid of this monster.
At this critical, life-threatening moment, an idea suddenly flashed in my mind.
By the way, there is a sword in her storage bag, which was given to her by Duan Xingshu.
Thinking of that low-grade magic weapon, Lu Youyou put her little hand into the storage bag and turned her eyes to the man who was holding her tightly.
The man probably didn't notice her movements, as her speed increased instead of slowing down.
Lu Youyou abruptly pulled out a sharp sword from his storage bag and slashed the man's arm with all his strength.
She originally thought that even if she couldn't cut off the other person's arm this time, she could at least hurt him.
However, the feeling of cutting with a sword is not like cutting on a human arm, but more like a knife cutting on rubber.
There was a "bang". Lu Youyou didn't know whether the man was injured, but she couldn't bear the reaction force, her palms stung, and the magic weapon was ejected.
The man was slashed by Lu Youyou and had no reaction at all.
He was running faster, and the wind hurt Lu Youyou's face.
As the air became cooler and cooler, they entered the depths of the dense forest.
After about another cup of tea, the fog in front of my eyes gradually receded, and the sound of rushing water began to appear in my ears.
Before Lu Youyou could turn her head to look at the man, she was ruthlessly thrown out and fell heavily to the ground, almost knocking her back.
Lu Youyou endured the pain all over his body and slowly raised his head.
What comes into view is a large river with turbulent currents. You can't see the edge at a glance, and you don't know where it leads.
Along with the sound of the river, the baby's cry sounded in her ears again.
The sound was so close to my ears that I felt chilling.
Lu Youyou turned her head, and when she saw the source of the baby's cry, she was almost frightened to death.
There was a person standing a foot away from her.
This man had no clothes on, but was covered in black armor-like scales.
This was not the most terrifying thing. What frightened Lu Youyou was that this man actually had nine snake heads.
Finally seeing his true face in Lushan, Lu Youyou was so frightened that her lips began to tremble.
Nine snake heads and nine pairs of eyes were all fixed on Lu Youyou, as if they were treating her as prey.
Are you really going to die this time?
Lu Youyou was unwilling to die like this, so she just traveled to the world of cultivation. She didn't have time to do anything, so she was about to be buried in the mouth of the monster?
No, we must find a way to escape.
How to escape?
Lu Youyou couldn't help but put her hand into the storage bag again, pulled it casually, and caught a porcelain bottle.
This is... nectar?
Yes, it is nectar.
Is it possible that the monster in front of her is also targeting her because of this bottle of nectar?
Lu Youyou looked at the nine-headed monster, stood up from the ground, took out the porcelain bottle containing nectar and said to the monster:
"Do you want this bottle of nectar?"
The nine-headed monster didn't respond at all to Lu Youyou's question. The nine pairs of snake eyes were still staring at Lu Youyou coldly, and the nine mouths slowly opened.
Lu Youyou cursed secretly in his heart.
Did she guess wrong that this monster doesn't want nectar?
It's impossible, nectar is an innate treasure of heaven and earth. No matter whether it is a monk or a monster, it is difficult to resist it.
Lu Youyou quickly opened the lid of the porcelain bottle.
In an instant, the fragrance of nectar spread in the air.
"As long as you let me go, this bottle of nectar will be yours."
The monster remained unmoved, raised its feet and approached Lu Youyou.
The deer trembled and backed away. Could it be that this monster wanted both nectar and eating her?
What should I do?
The hand holding the nectar bottle tightened again and again. At such a critical moment, she could only take a gamble.
Lu Youyou closed the lid, flicked his arm, and threw the nectar into the turbulent river. At the same time, he turned around and ran away.
She thought that as long as she used nectar to attract the monster's attention, she would have a chance to escape.
But she thought wrong. The monster was not interested in the nectar she threw out at all.
Before she could run into the woods, a strong wind hit her behind her.
