Four hours after the Modest Wind Trial, the heavenly fire had descended from the Zi Period, and it was now the Si Period. To Yan Li, time was a painful thing that he had to remember. The huge water monster would eat punctually at the Si Period.
The two lay on a small slope and held their breaths. Behind the slope was a huge depression. This was the habitat of the huge water monster. The water bubble that was larger than a mountain had turned into an oval shape due to the pressure. In the faint, transparent light, a sea urchin shaped object could be seen at its core. The time was just right. The sea urchin object trembled as though it had awakened from a deep slumber. It gave off a frightening buzzing sound, and the surrounding darkness beasts all fled in fear.
When the huge water monster ate, it would first release pressure to expel the surrounding darkness beasts. Then the thorns on its body would start to lengthen and thicken. The originally small thorns would become thick and abnormally long tentacles. The tentacles would extend from the center of the island to the sea, covering a distance of dozens of li. The huge water monster's body would also start to expand, and even the water bubble would expand. Hundreds of tentacles danced like demons, reaching into the endless evil sea and greedily sucking.
The water of the evil prison was transported by the huge water monster's tentacles and swallowed in large amounts. However, its body would no longer expand. There were suction disk-like objects on the walls of its body that would absorb the "essence" of the evil water. Then the remaining extremely small amount of pure water would be discharged through the pores on the surface of its body. Although the amount discharged each time was very small, it could not withstand the frequency of the discharge. The water bubble continued to expand.
Every time they saw this scene, the two could not help but shudder. It was truly too disgusting. Even more disgusting was that in order to live longer, they had to drink its excrement.
The time had finally come.
Yan Li said, "If you can return to Jambu Gate, what do you want to eat the most?"
Li Hongzhuang thought carefully and said emotionally, "I will eat everything that I can think of that can be eaten."
Without qi to maintain the nutrients that the body needed, it was like being stripped of the identity of a cultivator. Life returned to its primitive state — needing to eat to survive. Regardless of one's identity, be it a mortal or an immortal, once the body lost its sustenance, it would desperately send a signal of hunger to the brain. After tasting the taste of hunger countless times, the smoke and fire in the human world would also become sacred.
Yan Li said with melancholy, "I used to despise aunt's cooking, thinking that her culinary skills were the worst in the world. If I was given another chance, I would definitely eat everything she made!"
Li Hongzhuang giggled, "When you're dead, you'll have plenty of time to dream." As soon as she finished speaking, she pounced on the bubble, clawed open a hole, and swallowed it in large gulps.
Facts had proven that women could endure humiliation and pain better than men.
Desire and disgust were two completely opposite emotions at work, and it was indeed difficult to choose.
Yan Li shook his head and pounced forward as well.
Compared to the huge bubble, the two people who were drinking on it were as small as ants. However, if the huge water monster wasn't in a state of eating, its senses were extremely sharp. It could sense even the smallest person. Moreover, it would self-destruct at a single touch, completely irrational.
Just as the two of them were drinking to their heart's content, they didn't notice that a black panther had appeared on the small slope they had been lying on. After a darkness beast evolved into a dire beast, it would instinctively seek out a mate of the same form in certain special forms. This black panther was the mate of the black panther that had just died under the heavenly fire.
Dire beasts naturally had no feelings, but after their mate was killed, they instinctively felt an even stronger hatred. Thus, it endured the huge water monster's coercion.
After the huge water monster started eating, it approached them and saw that the two of them were engaged in an incomprehensible behavior. Of course, it didn't know that interrupting someone's "meal" was a very rude thing to do. With a roar, it brazenly pounced forward.
The two of them felt an evil wind behind them, as well as the roar that would definitely attract the attention of the huge water monster. Both of their hearts skipped a beat. Oh no!
At this moment, the two of them had gone from fighting fiercely at the start to gradually working together for the sake of survival, and even the extraordinary tacit understanding they had developed while protecting each other, finally came into play.
Yan Li instantly pulled out his sword and thrust it forward. The sword pierced through the black panther's gaping throat, causing it to turn to ash with a bang. At the same time, Li Hongzhuang grabbed Yan Li by the collar and began to flee like a bolt of lightning. It had to be known that only those of the Divine Domain could use their Primordial Spirit to support their bodies in flight. The consumption of Primordial Spirit in flight was extremely fatal to their current situation.
But if they didn't fly, they would be waiting for death.
Li Hongzhuang exhausted the last of his Primordial Spirit, but before he could fly very far, he heard the buzzing behind him intensify. He could sense the rage within it, and then there was the gurgling of small bubbles bursting.
The two paled and said, "My life ends here!"
Boom!
Earth-shattering noises followed one after another.
The terrifying impact caused the two to plummet into the black earth and vomit blood. They glanced at each other in shock. What they had feared the most had really happened. Under the impact of this explosion, the small island was finally unable to endure and began to break apart.
Normally, even if an island were to break apart, it would still have some space within several dozen li. But the Evil Prison was different. Once the seawater seeped into the roots of the Tree of Darkness, the structure of the island would instantly break apart, like an iceberg encountering the blazing sun.
As the world shook, the small island rapidly broke apart and sank.
Both of them were heavily injured and even walking was difficult, but with an intense desire to live, they supported each other as they walked toward the center of the island, hoping for a miracle.
The large water monster had already disappeared. In any case, it did not fear the evil water and could freely move about in the sea. The destruction of the island had no effect on it.
The small island continued to break apart and sink, ultimately leaving only an area of several zhang around the abnormally large Tree of Darkness. Because it was relatively thick, it could last a little longer, but the water of the Evil Prison continued to seep up.
The two powerlessly sat down and hugged each other, absorbing the other's warmth to suppress their fear.
"It's clearly the mother tree that gave birth to the monster, so why is it fine for the monster but a fatal poison for the Tree of Darkness?" Li Hongzhuang expressed her incomprehension and resentment. Cold sweat drenched her body, and a few strands of wet hair stuck to her pale face. She grabbed Yan Li's shirt and shook it vigorously. "Tell me, why is it like this?"
Yan Li heard a soul that refused to submit to fate. After a moment of silence, he said, "I finally know why you didn't kill me."
Li Hongzhuang gritted her teeth, her eyes filled with resentment. "If not for you, I would not have fallen to this state!" Her sharp nails dug deep into the flesh of Yan Li's chest, and dark red demon blood seeped out.
Yan Li struggled but could not break free. At this moment, many memories surfaced in his mind. He panted and said, "Promise me … one thing … If there's a chance to leave, help me tell them that I'm already dead …"
"Why should I help you!?"
Li Hongzhuang could not make out words, and could only instinctively scream hysterically, further injuring Yan Li.
Yan Li said, "Dig out my heart, eat it, and you'll have the strength to fly …"
Li Hongzhuang's body trembled, and she pulled out her trembling hand. Her pale, cold lips could not stop moving as she tried to heal the wound on Yan Li's chest. "No, don't die, you can't die … Do you hear me, you can't die …" She almost choked with sobs. "If you die, I won't be able to live alone!" At this moment, she was no longer the ruthless Li Xueyi who killed people like flies. She was just a weak child.
Yan Li raised a hand to brush aside Li Hongzhuang's messy hair, and said gently, "Although I don't love you, we are husband and wife. No matter how it started or how it happened, I believe that a man should bear more responsibility at this time. Eat my heart and escape. You can live a little longer, so it's a worthy death. "
Li Hongzhuang suddenly calmed down, and looked seriously at Yan Li's face. She said, "If we didn't have a grudge in the beginning, what would happen now?"
Yan Li said, "I'm a disciple of the Court Of Sword, and you're the leader of the Blood-clothed Tower. The Righteous and Demonic Paths oppose each other, and we'll carry out an even more bloody and cruel battle."
Li Hongzhuang laughed. "Yes, if we didn't have a grudge, I wouldn't have had the chance to understand you, and you wouldn't have ruined my plans again and again. I suddenly feel that my world has become more interesting after knowing you. At least, no one has ever made me so angry like you. "
Yan Li smiled weakly. "Don't fall in love with me, you won't have a good ending."
Li Hongzhuang smiled. "Of course I won't love you. I only treat you as a tool to please me." She slowly moved closer and kissed Yan Li. She did whatever she wanted, and this was freedom and liberation. Their lips parted, and her eyes were filled with blurred colors. Her expression was coquettish and seductive, like a temptress. "But I thought that I wouldn't be able to find a tool as satisfying as you outside, so I won't leave."
Even people would be mesmerized by beauty, let alone if it was mesmerizing.
"You want to die together?" Yan Li seemed to have forgotten the fear of death.
"Is that all you've got?" Li Hongzhuang's eyes were like silk. Yan Li let out a low growl and pushed her down.
Intertwined, panting, and pleasure.
Then they sank.
When the Green Lotus Lamp arrived, the sea was calm. Everyone on the ship looked at each other. Liu Letian said, "Did the explosion just now have something to do with Young Master Yan?"
"Why didn't the Green Lotus Lamp move?" Yu Jun was puzzled. "Is Young Master Yan under the sea?"
"Impossible. Whether it's the Human Race or the Demon Race, only death awaits those who fall into the water." Su Xingyu mercilessly shattered this fantasy.
"You're right …" Liumu Bingjian frowned in thought.
Zhao Ting pointed at the surface of the sea and boldly made a judgment. "Look, there should be an island here that disintegrated and sank. There are still things in the water that haven't been completely eroded away."
Everyone looked in the direction of the voice, and sure enough, they saw some unknown fragments floating on the surface of the sea.
"You mean, we're too late?" Shen Liuyun's heart couldn't help but sink.
"It's just a guess …" Zhao Ting smiled sheepishly. He didn't dare to say that Yan Li was dead. If he made Yan Shiyi unhappy, his life would be in danger.
Just as everyone was making guesses, a glowing object suddenly shot out from the sea.
