"I only need Yuanyuan to lead the way. This trip is very dangerous. Fei Hong and Ru Meng don't need to go," Shen Luo said.
"Then we …" Fei Hong looked at Shen Luo and said hesitantly.
"Recently, the Dreamy Cloud Swampland has not been very peaceful. You two hide yourselves and leave the Dreamy Cloud Swampland first. Find a safe place outside and wait for us to come back," Shen Luo said.
Fei Hong and Ru Meng knew that they would only be a burden if they followed, so they did not insist. They said goodbye to Shen Luo and Wu Man Er and left first.
"Brother Shen, Sister Wu, they won't encounter any danger on the way back, right?" Yuanyuan was obviously more worried about them than her own journey.
Shen Luo did not say anything. He just patted the Qiankun Bag on his waist and said, "Please escort them and help them find a safe place."
"Yes." A voice came out of the Qiankun Bag.
Then, a wisp of black smoke floated out of the bag and disappeared in a flash.
Although Zhao Feiji's cultivation was only at the late stage of the Out of Aperture Realm, he was good at hiding and sneak attacks. His fighting ability was not weak. He was the most suitable person to escort Fei Hong and Ru Meng.
Wu Man Er and Yuanyuan were relieved when they saw that Shen Luo had other arrangements.
They set off again. Not long after, a touch of pink appeared in front of them.
Dense clusters of pink reeds intertwined with each other in the sandbar in front of him. It was so vast that it looked like a boundless ocean.
Shen Luo stood at the bow of the flying boat and looked at the pink reeds in front of him. For a moment, he felt a little strange.
Not only were the flowers of the reeds pink, but even their stalks and leaves were pink. From top to bottom, the closer they were to the roots, the redder they were.
Shen Luo remembered the advice of the shop assistant before entering the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. He asked, "Yuanyuan, is there anything special about these pink reeds?"
"Special? There's nothing particular about it … "Yuanyuan muttered with a puzzled expression.
When Shen Luo heard this, he was a little confused. He believed that the shop assistant would not remind him for no reason.
Yuanyuan thought hard for a long time before giving such an answer. "If there is anything particular, it is rumored that a great war between immortals and demons broke out here. Many people from both races died here, so in the legends, it is said that the blood of those immortals and demons dyed the reeds here red."
When Shen Luo heard this, she laughed it off.
As he spoke, the flying boat had already entered the reed marsh.
As soon as he entered, a wisp of wind blew from the reeds. Shen Luo's nose twitched slightly, and he immediately frowned.
Wu Man Er turned her wrist and took out three green Miasma Repelling Pills. Then, she handed them over.
Shen Luo took one and swallowed it. Only then did he begin to breathe smoothly.
Yuanyuan, on the other hand, held the pill in her hands and looked at the two of them in confusion.
Shen Luo and Wu Man Er looked at each other. At first, they were a little surprised, but then, they smiled with relief.
"The air here is filled with a layer of invisible poisonous miasma. It is much more powerful than the outside. However, since you have lived here since you were a child, you should be used to it. That's why you don't find it strange, "Wu Man Er explained.
Yuanyuan looked around blankly, but she still couldn't find anything different from the outside.
"It's all right. Let's continue our journey," Shen Luo said.
As soon as his voice fell, the wind in front of them suddenly blew. It was just a faint breeze, but it suddenly turned into a gale.
"Whoosh!"
The whole reed marsh was violently swayed by the gale.
Countless pink dust particles drifted into the air, dyeing the entire sky pink.
At first, Shen Luo thought that they had encountered a strange scene. However, when he saw Yuanyuan's face, he knew that things were not good.
"Oh no, it's an illusory fog … We may have encountered a Sea Serpent," Yuanyuan said with a sad face.
"Sea Serpent? What is that?" Shen Luo asked in surprise.
"It is a giant spirit that lives in the depths of the Dreamy Cloud Swampland. In fact, other than the Dreamy Cloud Swampland, there should be Sea Serpents in other places. They are the offspring of the Sea Serpent and other spirits. Usually, they have their own illusions and other spells, such as wind, water, thunder, fire, and so on, "Yuanyuan explained.
"What kind of spells does the Dreamy Cloud Swampland specialize in?" Shen Luo asked.
"It's never shown itself, so no one knows what kind of spell it's proficient in. Just the illusionary mist formed by the Sea Serpent's aura alone has already trapped countless living beings to death," Yuan Yuan said with a look of despair in her eyes.
"Don't worry. We have just entered this area. At worst, we can go back the way we came," Shen Luo comforted her.
According to the legend, the Sea Serpent was the offspring of the Dragon Clan and the Clam Spirit. It inherited the powerful bloodline of the Dragon Clan and had a talent in illusions that other creatures couldn't reach. Therefore, it was best at creating illusions and bewitching people.
All kinds of mirages that were rarely seen in the world were all formed by the Sea Serpent's Sea Serpent.
Shen Luo didn't dare to be careless about it. He immediately steered the flying boat, turned around, and rushed back.
The pink fog was everywhere, and the vision gradually became unclear. The surrounding reeds were high and low. After flying for a while, Shen Luo felt that something was wrong.
The magic power in his body was surging. Suddenly, he waved his sleeve and rolled it forward.
A whirlwind immediately swelled out of his sleeve, dispersing the fog within a thousand feet in front of him.
As soon as the thick fog dissipated, Shen Luo and the other two couldn't help but exclaim at the same time.
About a hundred meters in front of them, a towering azure mountain peak appeared out of thin air. Their flying boat was unable to stop its momentum and was about to crash into it.
Shen Luo hurriedly controlled the flying boat to stop, but it still hit the mountain wall with a bang.
On the flying boat, Shen Luo and Wu Man Er both staggered. It took them a lot of effort to stabilize their bodies.
Shen Luo flew up and came to the mountain wall. He stretched out his hand and touched it gently. Between his fingers, he could feel the rough rock of the mountain wall. There was also a slippery feeling of moss on the mountain wall. It didn't feel like an illusion at all.
"Is there such a mountain in the Dreamy Cloud Swampland?" Shen Luo turned around and asked with a frown.
Wu Man Er and Yuanyuan shook their heads at the same time and said in unison,
"Never heard of it …"
"Never seen it …"
As they spoke, they also flew to Shen Luo's side and checked the mountain wall in front of them.
"This feeling is too real, isn't it? Is this an illusion created by the Sea Serpent Demon? "Yuanyuan exclaimed.
Wu Man Er didn't speak immediately. Instead, she pressed her hand on the mountain wall and closed her eyes to sense it.
After a while, she opened her eyes and said, "I can feel a strong vitality and the aura of plants on this mountain. This can't be created by an illusion."
Shen Luo focused his eyes and a green light shot out from his eyes. He used the Netherworld Ghost Eye to check it carefully.
But soon, he stopped using the supernatural power.
"This illusory fog is really powerful. My spiritual eyes can't see any flaws." Shen Luo shook his head and said.
