This was the first time Zhou Wen had seen such a dimensional creature. He suspected that this dimensional creature had another plot, so he didn't dare believe his words.
He continued walking forward with Ji Moqing. This Bride Island was indeed very strange. Looking at the sea, there was no end to it, but looking into the island, he could only see the scenery dozens of meters away. Further away, he felt as though there was a fog shrouding it. The forest and the village were faintly discernible. He couldn't see them clearly no matter how hard he tried.
After walking for a short distance, a small river appeared in front of them. The river slowly flowed around the village. The green water and green bamboo were so clean that one couldn't bear to step on it. Even breathing would dirty the air here.
"A woman!" Ji Moqing suddenly pointed ahead and shouted.
Zhou Wen naturally saw that there was a woman in front of him. Furthermore, she was standing on the bridge of the river.
It was a wooden bridge. It was unknown when it had been built. The wood was the color of the original wood, and there were no traces of paint. Time had left marks on the wood. Not only did it not affect the beauty of the wooden bridge, but it also added an antique flavor.
In the bamboo forest under the bridge, a woman wearing a kimono embroidered with red flowers stood on the bridge. She held a paper umbrella in her hand, and her long black hair cascaded down her back like a waterfall. A breeze blew past, causing a few bamboo leaves to flutter. As her sleeves fluttered slightly, one could vaguely see her fair skin and graceful figure.
Although it was only a back view, it made one feel infinitely beautiful.
"So beautiful!" Even as a woman, Ji Moqing couldn't help but be attracted by the woman's back.
Zhou Wen was also sizing up the woman, but his focus wasn't on the woman's beautiful figure. He had been sensing the woman's aura, but no matter how he sensed it, she was a living woman. There wasn't any aura of a dimensional creature.
"There are humans on this island?" Zhou Wen frowned slightly.
When they approached the bridge, the woman finally turned around. Her face seemed happy and angry, and there was a hint of delicacy amidst her gentleness.
"Why are you here? Don't you know that this Bride Island is very dangerous? "the woman said worriedly when she saw Zhou Wen and Ji Moqing.
"What danger can there be? Aren't you here too? "Ji Moqing asked.
"I'm different from you. I'm trapped here and can't leave. It's best you leave quickly. Otherwise, when night falls, I'm afraid you won't be able to escape death," the woman on the bridge said.
"Why are you trapped here? Who trapped you here? "Ji Moqing asked again.
"It's a dimensional creature with a pipa on its back. However, this has nothing to do with you. Leave Bride Island quickly before it gets dark," the woman on the bridge said again.
"We want to leave, but the entire island is enveloped by spatial rifts. We can't leave either," Wen said.
Along the way, Zhou Wen would use the Poison Bat to probe every certain distance. In the end, none of the Poison Bats could escape. Ji Moqing naturally saw all of this.
"Go forward from here. After passing through the bamboo forest, you will see a mountain. Go around the mountain from the left, and behind it is a ferry. Leave Bride Island from there, and you will not encounter the Spatial Rift," the woman on the bridge said.
Zhou Wen sized up the woman. He had already tried many skills to see her body, but they all showed that she was human. However, Zhou Wen had a nagging feeling that something was amiss.
The dimensional creature had previously said that he had to be careful of the woman on the bridge, but this woman said that the dimensional creature with the lute had imprisoned her here. He didn't know who was lying.

"How did you get trapped here? Can you leave with us?" Ji Moqing couldn't bear to abandon the woman and asked.
"Unless I kill the dimensional creature with the lute, I won't be able to leave this bridge. It's just too difficult. He's a Terror-grade dimensional creature. You are far from his match. It's best you leave this place quickly. If you want to go to Auspicious Island in the future, please tell my parents not to worry about me. I'm fine here. My life isn't in danger, "the woman said.
"Why did that dimensional creature trap you here? Why didn't it kill you? "Ji Moqing continued asking.
"Beauty is a woman's greatest sin." The woman sighed and didn't explain further. Then, she urged Zhou Wen and company to leave quickly. "It's getting late. Leave quickly. Otherwise, you won't have a chance to leave after dark."
"Let's go," Zhou Wen said indifferently as he continued walking forward.
"He's indeed a cold-blooded devil," Ji Moqing couldn't help but mutter.
Despite encountering his own kind, and such a beautiful woman at that, Zhou Wen didn't have any intention of saving her. Only those devils would do so.
Ji Moqing was only at the Mortal stage and didn't have the ability to save the woman. All she could do was bid the woman farewell and continue walking forward with Zhou Wen.
The woman stood on the bridge and watched them leave, but she didn't do anything abnormal.
After walking for a short distance, she heard voices behind her. Ji Moqing turned her head and saw the bald officer who had followed Fang Mingsu bring a few people to the vicinity of the wooden bridge.
Ji Moqing was delighted. The bald officer was a Mythical expert. Perhaps he could save the woman.
They didn't seem to encounter the dimensional creature with the lute on its back. When they arrived in front of the wooden bridge, they said a few words to the woman. A few soldiers went over to save the woman from the wooden bridge.
However, just as the soldiers stepped onto the wooden bridge, a strange wind seemed to appear out of thin air, sweeping the soldiers into the river.
The river didn't look deep, but after the soldiers fell in, they couldn't climb out no matter what. They were all Epic existences. Ignoring the fact that they knew how to swim, it wasn't difficult for them to break out of the water even if they didn't.
However, this time, they failed to break out of the water. They struggled with all their might and sank deeper and deeper. They were about to sink.
The soldiers on the shore wanted to save them, but be it Companion Beasts or themselves, they would be swept into the river by the strange wind the moment they approached the river.
Ji Moqing immediately realized that something was amiss. She looked at the woman on the bridge with a chill in her heart. She secretly rejoiced that if she hadn't followed a cold-blooded devil like Zhou Wen, she would probably have drowned in the river.
The bald officer also realized that there was something wrong with the woman. Relying on the fact that he had fused with a Mythical creature, the scales on his body rapidly grew. With a huge ax in his hand, he leaped into the air and cleaved at the woman on the bridge.
The woman didn't dodge. She only looked at the bald officer pitifully.
The bald officer was quite a character. He remained unmoved as he cleaved down with his ax.
However, the ax transformed from a Mythical Companion Beast failed to split apart the thin paper umbrella. Instead, it was held in midair by the paper umbrella, unable to move.
The woman smiled at the bald officer as she spun the paper umbrella in her hand. The bald officer was immediately swept into the river by a strange wind.
