Chapter 169 Breaking the ban and taking the heart (2)
The clothes on his back were soaked with sweat and clung tightly to his body, but Yan Yan had no intention of flinching.
Shen Yuyun frowned at her crazy and almost life-threatening behavior.
At first he thought Yan Yan was ignorant and was fooling around, but gradually, Shen Yuyunjiu felt something was wrong.
At this moment, Yan Yan's body radiated, in addition to her usual stubbornness, she seemed to be holding back a breath, and there seemed to be strong hatred and anger in this energy.
She must defeat this restriction, even at the risk of her own life.
The Yan Yan at this moment was completely different from the Yan Yan Shen Yuyun had known on a daily basis. When Shen Yuyun recalled her behavior these days, he suddenly vaguely realized that Yan Yan agreed to help him open the restriction. It was probably because she wanted to do so, and It's not just about helping.
Otherwise, she wouldn't be able to work so hard.
The fierce confrontation is still going on. Yan Yan's face has completely lost all color at this moment. The big eyes on his pale face are full of red bloodshot eyes. Such an expression is created by the interlacing light of green and red on the tree. The whole person looked like a female ghost, acting strangely.
But Yan Yan had completely ignored everything in the outside world. She put her whole body on it, fighting with all the energy in her body against the coquettish red light.
At this moment, Yan Yan's mind was filled with Mu Juan'er's gentle demeanor, her lovely smile, her considerate care...
Her eyes were wet, and the tears in the corners of her eyes were lightly streaked with blood.
Finally, the energy that the tree roots continued to absorb became weaker and weaker. It seemed that the energy that the ban could absorb from the ferocious beast's heart was not unlimited. Probably the person who set up the ban only released a small part of the ferocious beast's heart energy for the ban to use.
The green light rune suddenly glowed brightly and sank to the bottom of the tree. At the same time, Yanyan's hand was suddenly bounced away from the tree trunk. She was pushed away by the green light and fell back several steps. Just stopped.
Yan Yan was dizzy at the moment and her whole body was limp. She staggered and was about to fall forward. Shen Yuyun reached out to hold her arm.
Although his body was almost exhausted, Yan Yan's eyes were still fixed on the root of the tree without blinking.
The runes were completely submerged in the restriction and were invisible. After a few breaths, the restriction light from the tree root suddenly flashed strongly, and then disappeared completely.
Panting, Yan Yan stared at the completely extinguished tree trunk, and nervously asked Shen Yuyun: "OK, successful?"
Shen Yuyun nodded: "Success, the restriction has been completely lifted."
He helped Yan Yan to the tree. Yan Yan was exhausted to the extreme and collapsed under the tree, leaning on the trunk to pant.
The rest of the physical work of digging for treasures was left to Shen Yuyun.
Shen Yuyun was a meticulous person and was well prepared. He took the short-handled shovel he had brought from the side and began to carefully throw away the soil at the root of the tree. Sure enough, it was less than half a meter deep. , revealing the dark red Liuyi mud.
Liuyi mud is a kind of mud specially used by Taoist priests to seal seals. It is brown-red in color and is mixed with talisman water, cinnabar and other treasure materials that can suppress seals. It has a very good sealing and protective effect on treasures.
After prying open the Liuyi mud block, which had been completely dried out, there was an empty pit inside. Yan Yan saw at a glance the Haechi box that he had seen in the heroic study.
Yanyan's eyes were fixed on the Xiezhi box, her expression couldn't help but be a little nervous, but she remained seated and didn't move.
At this moment, the ferocious beast's heart appeared again, and Shen Yuyun's attention was all focused on the ferocious beast's heart, completely unaware of Yan Yan's overly nervous expression.
He carefully touched the beast's heart from the bottom of the tree pit.
The lost things were finally found, and Shen Yuyun's anxious heart finally breathed a sigh of relief. He was about to talk to Yan Yan when his fingers holding the box suddenly touched something, and alarm bells rang in Shen Yuyun's heart.
When he lowered his head again, just for a moment, the Haechi box in his hand disappeared.
Shen Yuyun's eyes widened in surprise. His call to Si Jia just now did not issue any warning at all, and nothing was approaching at all.
Shen Yuyun's face was as sinking as water, and he raised his eyes and looked around.
He didn't notice that the tense expression of Yan Yan beside him suddenly relaxed.
Shen Yuyun turned his head and looked around. In the silent night, only the cold north wind howled. Not to mention people or monsters, even a mouse hid in its hole to avoid the cold.
This was the first time that Shen Yuyun had encountered something like this. The thing he was holding in his hand was snatched away before his eyes. The anger in his heart was instantly ignited. He took a pill from somewhere and threw it into his mouth, and his palm suddenly exerted force.
Zhao Sijia, who originally only enveloped him, Yan Yan and the old willow tree, grew several times in size in an instant, and the colorful semicircular halo began to rapidly expand around him, covering the entire Hanlian Garden in the blink of an eye.
Yan Yan's eyes widened in surprise.
She didn't expect this thing to grow so big.
Just when Yan Yan was shocked, she suddenly felt her collar tighten, and she was instantly lifted up from where she was sitting on the ground.
Her back was pressed heavily against the hard wall, and Yan Yan felt that the bones in her back were about to be broken. Then she looked into Shen Yuyun's angry eyes.
"Where is the beast's heart?" Shen Yuyun's eyes and expression were cold, and his words were even more sinister.
Yan Yan had no expression on his face and asked weakly: "Why are you planning to silence me?"
"Stop talking nonsense!" Shen Yuyun interrupted Yan Yan rudely and stared into her eyes with cold eyes: "I know it was you who did it. The ferocious beast heart must be in your hands at this moment. Hand it over and I will treat it as a crime." Nothing happened."
Facing the furious Shen Yuyun, Yan Yan's expression did not change at all. He looked at him with calm eyes, and his tone was equally calm: "Why do you say that I took the beast's heart? You must provide evidence when you speak."
"With how desperate you were when you tried to open the restriction just now, I don't believe you were just trying to help me!"
Yan Yan sneered: "Otherwise? It's normal to give up halfway. If you have a wrong outlook on yourself and doubt me, you can do it, uncle! You said I took your things, and I also said you wanted to burn bridges!"
Shen Yuyun said nothing, only stared into Yan Yan's eyes.
Yan Yan was not afraid to meet his gaze.
What Shen Yuyun saw in those pair of beautiful dark eyes that were as beautiful as stars was nothing but calmness and composure.
Suddenly, the palm holding Yanyan's throat suddenly lost its strength, and she fell heavily to the ground.
Yan Yan was already extremely weak because he had consumed too much spiritual energy. Just now, Shen Yuyun had his throat stuck and pressed him against the wall. Now he was so heavy that he could not move a step.
Shen Yuyun's cold voice came from above her head: "It's best not to let me find out that you stole the ferocious beast's heart!" After saying that, the soft leather boots stopped in front of her turned in the opposite direction.
Yan Yan looked up again, and Shen Yuyun's back had disappeared into the howling night.
