Chapter 860
"Flirt! Just keep flirting! You'll get what's coming to you soon enough! No, I'll make sure you don't get a good end!" Shen Sanfeng's face was covered in blood, full of anguish.
Ximen Baojian: "Hehe."
They continued to delve deeper, and at a certain moment, when Yuchi looked up, he saw a hole the size of a football field, now barely visible as a small dot. Around them, there was a chill in the air, with some cold mist shrouding the surroundings, leaving everything in natural darkness.
Fortunately, many glowing mushrooms appeared on the walls. These glowing mushrooms seemed like some kind of spores? Their luminescence was rather intense, casting an eerie blue light that made the surroundings even more sinister, reminiscent of the glow in a morgue, complemented by the cold air rushing down their backs, making it a place where ordinary people shouldn't venture.
This was simply courting death.
Then, after an unknown amount of time had passed, as Yuchi continued to explore, he felt his body slightly tense, like stepping off a staircase into unexpected flat ground in the dark. Looking down, he found he had reached the bottom. Whether there would be a bounce was unknown, but having reached the bottom, Yuchi could see a variety of colorful fungi on the walls, and eating these would probably make one lie flat, wouldn't it?
"Baiyu sister?"
Yuchi softly called out, but the other party remained motionless. Leaning back slightly, he saw that she had fallen asleep in his arms, breathing lightly and softly like a kitten curled up on a sofa. Her hair covered half of her cheek, with only her small, rosy lips slightly parted.
So sweet.
Uh, so what was Qi Baiyu here for?
Yuchi instantly wanted to laugh, gesturing to Shen Sanfeng and Ximen Baojian, who were already gathered nearby and looking at him with puzzled eyes, indicating the sleeping Qi Baiyu in his arms.
Ximen Baojian was the first to notice, becoming speechless in an instant.
What the—she fell asleep?
Is this man's embrace so warm? She just fell asleep like this? Lord Qi, what are you here for then? Weren't you here to relax? Not to explore? We've already come adventuring, the bus has reached the station, wake up to take a few photos and then continue your nap.
Shen Sanfeng gritted his teeth in envy, wishing he could do something about Yuchi but had no way to directly make him suffer. Otherwise, he had a hundred ways to make this bastard cry.
I'm still single, damn it, how dare you just bring such a beautiful girl? Are you even human?
"Let's go find your sister," Yuchi whispered.
Shen Sanfeng and Ximen Baojian instantly had black lines over their foreheads.
Damn, not even hiding it anymore?
What do you mean by "go find your sister"? What are you even here for? Just here for this girl, huh? I should have exposed your plot from the start!
"You won't live long," Shen Sanfeng fumed.
"The youth is promising," Ximen Baojian nodded solemnly, then looked at Shen Sanfeng. "Let's go. There's only one path ahead. This cave slopes downward, with colorful fungi on the sides. Let's follow this path; there doesn't seem to be any other routes, and it should be safe."
Shen Sanfeng nodded: "I'll go first, you guys follow me. Thank you, fellow Cultivator, for your help. Unlike someone who's just here for a girl."
Ximen Baojian laughed out loud.
Clicking his tongue, Yuchi remained calm: "Can't get the grapes, so you call them sour, sour enough to kill me."
Oh dear, this rascal… Shen Sanfeng: "You've had it!"
Jokes aside, Yuchi kept a close watch on the sights before him.
For now, this cave didn't seem particularly dangerous.
Then, if the entire mountain were to be sliced open like a watermelon, they would descend vertically. Now they tread a sloped path deeper, akin to the devil's slope of an underground parking lot, roughly fifteen degrees, with twists and turns.
Additionally, this path was filled with many mushrooms, glowing with a colorful, dense nighttime market vibe.
Now, a single person couldn't see anything, only spotting scattered magical artifacts swept up as if by the wind, brushing past them along the twisted tunnel of the mountain cave.
"This is the situation. If the scrolls from the inn were true, then either the opponent's power is strong enough to instantly kill a Cultivator, or the cave would have been destroyed, or they used some Illusion Technique to attack."
Yuchi had an Illusion Seed given by Zong Qianqun in his possession, though he hadn't planted it yet. He understood it was capable of directly attacking the soul, so neurological damage here couldn't be ruled out. Plus, the mushrooms here were incredibly strange, possibly causing hallucinations?
And in that instant, he suddenly heard Shen Sanfeng exclaim in front of him: "Sister, I finally found you, sister!"
Excited beyond measure, he pointed at the wall beside him. Both Yuchi and Ximen Baojian looked over to see a seam in the wall. The seam was narrow, and within the wall seemed to be a stone chamber? Inside the chamber, there appeared to be a woman dressed in a gown?
"Stay behind me, let's check it out together."
Ximen Baojian had already retrieved his magical artifact, a bell, holding it as if he were a deity carrying a pagoda, promptly stepping into the one-meter-wide crack.
Yuchi definitely wanted to stop him, after all, Ximen Baojian was a good person. But before he could say anything, the man charged in with determination.
Upon entering, he saw a woman in gray clothing standing at the edge of the wall, her back towards him, head lowered, remaining silent. The gloomy green glow emitted by the surrounding mushrooms.
Holding the beauty in his arms, Yuchi mused to himself: Is this going to turn into a horror movie?
