"Lord Gu, we're almost there!"
After ten days of traveling without rest, Gu Zheng and Yan Yue finally arrived at the Water Demon Clan.
"Is this the passage you entered?" Gu Zheng raised his head and looked at the waterfall in the distance, which looked like the waterfall left behind by a ten thousand feet tall mountain.
Even though he was still very far away, he could feel the unparalleled impact under the water surface. The rapid water flow made him feel as if he was being attacked by a peak gold immortal at all times.
However, for Yan Yue, who was born in the Soul River, this was no pressure at all. Her body swayed slightly in the water, avoiding most of the pressure.
At this moment, they were in the middle of a huge mountain. The source of the Soul River was in the distance, and there were fine black cracks everywhere in the sky. This was also why they were above the water.
The irregular spatial cracks appeared very quickly and were very dense. It was impossible to find a place to land on them, let alone rush over.
Of course, there were even more stringent defenses outside. There were all kinds of warning formations and barriers that could only be opened by the Water Demon Clan to ensure that no outsiders could come here.
However, under Yan Yue's lead, they arrived here without any danger. There were no more traps after that.
"Well, when we get there, open a gap for me. I'll do the rest myself. At the same time, you can go back and find your brother. You're free." Gu Zheng said to Yan Yue.
"Thank you, Lord!" Yan Yue immediately became happy, but then said worriedly. "Come with me, Lord. However, I still have to advise you. The other side is not comparable to this place. Please think twice. When we go over, I can help you. When we come back, although in theory, I can come back, the difficulty will be a thousand times higher."
"You don't have to worry about this. Just send me over." Gu Zheng said indifferently.
"Lord, please come with me. When I let you in, you can go in." Yan Yue saw that Gu Zheng had made up his mind and did not say anything more. She continued to lead the way.
Gu Zheng followed behind with a trace of worry in his eyes.
The threat that Yan Yue was talking about was none other than the people living in the pocket dimension. However, Meng Zhen's side could not be delayed any longer. He did not know what the situation was like outside.
He had wasted too much time outside. Fortunately, he did not waste too much time looking for Yan Ge. If he had not blessed Yan Ge, he might have spent even more time looking for him.
Of course, the biggest threat in his heart was that scarlet-red guy. That was the guy that made him somewhat helpless. The only thing he could do was to believe that there would be a way out when the time came. The other party could not always be by his side to protect him.
He had also thought of the worst case scenario, but if he did not go, he would not be satisfied.
"I hope it's not too late!"
They soon arrived in front of the huge waterfall. The rumbling sound resounded throughout the world. It was as if no other sound could be heard except for that sound.
Yan Yue gestured to Gu Zheng. After seeing Gu Zheng nod, large amounts of water from the Spirit River below were drawn out and covered Gu Zheng's body. In an extremely short period of time, Gu Zheng was surrounded in a water ball.
After doing all this, Yan Yue began to cast a spell and forcefully opened a temporary passage in this place.
Of course, it was impossible with her strength. However, there seemed to be an invisible force here. When she began to release it according to a certain trajectory, it automatically started to operate. In other words, she was just a key. After activating it, she just had to maintain the input. Everything was automatically operated by another array.
A blue light suddenly lit up under the waterfall. It was an extremely eye-catching blue light. In the blink of an eye, it formed a blue light ball that was dozens of feet large and hung above the water.
At this moment, Yan Yue immediately shouted. Then, a black water droplet was spat out from her mouth and drilled into the center with lightning speed.
The moment the water droplet entered the blue ball, it exploded with a boom. At the same time, countless blue lightning bolts violently erupted from the center, directly tearing open a gap. This gap was expanding at a speed visible to the naked eye. In just a few breaths, it had formed a gap that was as thick as a hundred-year-old tree.
Looking through the center of the gap, it was not the waterfall itself. Instead, it was a pitch-black passageway that only one person could enter. A terrifying aura emanated from the passageway, as if it was connected to some terrifying zone. The Soul Water in the surroundings was repelled by an invisible force, unable to get close.
"Sir, the passage has been opened. Remember, as long as you keep going forward, there will be an exit in the end," Yan Yue said at this moment.
Gu Zheng understood what she meant. She had never entered before. This was the method that the clan leader had told them. She had told them all about the monsters in the air.
Looking at the trembling body of the other party, large droplets of sweat the size of beans fell from the other party's forehead. Even though Yan Yue was only assisting at the side, she could still feel a great pressure. She could not hold on for too long, but she did not rush him. Instead, she endured.
Gu Zheng did not let the other party endure for too long. He only glanced at her and fixed his gaze in the direction of the palace. That was where Xiao Ying was. Only then did he dive in and fly into the black passage.
At the same time, Yan Yue also let go of the passage in the air. The blue light ball disappeared at an even faster speed.
"They should be here by now. Let's go find Little Brother and see if we can help him. Later, we'll find an opportunity to sneak in," Yan Yue muttered as she swallowed the water droplet that flew back.
Such a huge commotion would definitely attract the attention of the Water Demons. From the aura that she had purposely left behind, the Water Demons might be able to discover that they were together and leave to come here. This would make their following actions smoother.
After saying that, Yan Yue dived into the water and quickly left this place.
Gu Zheng had already rushed into the black passage. What surprised him was that this black passage was actually made of Soul Water. The outer wall formed a layer of faint black light, as if the passage was wrapped up. And what Gu Zheng needed to do was to constantly move forward along this passage.
Without any light, Gu Zheng was like a blind man. He just kept moving forward. The further he went, the wider the black passage became. And he could clearly feel that there was another undercurrent in his surroundings. He could easily leave his position and follow the other undercurrents. However, he was clear about his path and did not leave his position.
After an unknown amount of time, Gu Zheng was still roaming inside. Suddenly, his whole body unconsciously fell down, as if he had reached the end of a waterfall. What made him even more alarmed was that all the strength in his body seemed to have disappeared. He directly fell helplessly into the abyss below. Before he had completely fallen, he fainted.
"Could it be that the other party was lying to me?"
Before he fainted, a thought suddenly flashed through Gu Zheng's mind.
In the middle of a tall mountain range, there was a small amount of green vegetation scattered on the top. Further up, there was a mountain peak covered in white snow. Snowflakes drifted down from the sky, never stopping for a moment.
A clear, meandering river was flowing down from the top of the mountain like a sign. It flowed from the top of the mountain to the middle of the mountain, and from the middle of the mountain to the bottom of the mountain, forming an endless river that continued to flow down.
Above the mountain peak, a huge gust of wind blew, bringing with it countless unstoppable wind blades. Countless snowflakes exploded from the top of the mountain and fell in all directions. At the same time, on the mountain wall, a sparkling and translucent ice crystal grew. It shook a few times, but could not withstand the cutting of the other party. It was directly shattered into a dozen pieces, falling down from the mountain peak in a disorderly manner. Only the thick roots were left.
One of the smaller ice crystals was directly blown to the hillside and rolled down. It happened to fall into the turbulent river. Not only was it constantly washed away by the river, but it was also swept down at an accelerated speed.
In the wash, the originally slightly larger body was also rapidly shrinking. It was afraid that before it landed on the mountain, it would melt into the river and become one with the river.
However, when it had just landed on the mountainside, its body was still the size of a small rubber ball. A creature that did not feel any danger was already wandering leisurely, not at all aware of the danger coming from above.
A palm-sized fish with a crystal-like body was wandering wantonly halfway up the mountain. Under the pure sunlight in the air, its body flickered with a sparkling and translucent light, looking extremely beautiful. It made its body lazy and did not want to move. Just as it was about to feel that something was wrong with the surrounding water flow, it suddenly raised its head and saw an ice ball of the same color smashing down.
The incomparably hard ice ball shattered the moment it was hit, and the seemingly weak little fish was also controlled by the monster in the air.
Even if the fish's hard scales did not cause much damage to its surface, the huge impact not only made it faint, but also caused cracks to appear on its insides. It floated all the way down the river, towards a territory it had never explored before.
However, it was not alone. Halfway down, it also bumped into a figure floating in the water. It lay on the other party's chest and floated down with the other party.
At the bottom of the river, which was also the bottom of the mountain, there were a few people dressed like ordinary humans. However, there were scales on their cheeks. At a glance, it was obvious that they were not human. There were a total of four people, in groups of two, walking slowly along the banks of the river. At the same time, their eyes were constantly looking to both sides as if they were looking for something.
"That's strange. Normally, the other party should have already arrived. Why haven't we seen them yet?" One of the figures complained as he walked.
"How would I know? The altar has already indicated that a Water Demon has descended from here. Calculating the time, it should be around these days. But what's so strange about that? Did you forget that one time when they came here to find us? They searched for an entire day and even went back to borrow a spirit stone to find the other party in a crack." Although his companion said that, his eyes were still carefully searching.
"That's not bad. At least that time, one of the Water Demons woke up early. If it wasn't for the fact that it was unfamiliar with this place, it would have almost capsized. Let's hope our luck isn't that bad." The person who spoke first also prayed.
"Let's hope so. Hurry up and search carefully. Don't let the other party find us first. Then the merit will be ours. When we return, we'll get more rewards."
The two of them did not say anything else. They carefully scanned both sides, trying not to miss any gaps.
One had to know that on both sides of the river, there were many malnourished trees. Some of their roots even spread into the river. There were many grooves in the river that were washed out. It was possible to get stuck in the grooves. If one was not careful, one could really overlook it.
Thump! Thump!
Gu Zheng felt something. He could hear his heartbeat. However, his eyelids were abnormally heavy, like a heavy mountain. No matter how hard he tried, he could not open his eyelids.
At this moment, he could feel himself floating on the surface of the water. He felt like he was in a baby's cradle, slowly drifting down. However, when he wanted to move, he realized that his entire body was suddenly filled with fatigue. It was as if all his essence, qi, and spirit had been used up. He even began to feel a little dizzy.
He wanted to recover, but his body was not listening to him. It was as if he had lost control. The only thing he could do now was to force his drowsy head to hold on.
The only thing that made him feel lucky was that the passage that Yan Yue opened for him led to here. Maybe he was not a water demon and something went wrong. In his opinion, he just needed to wait for some time. After he recovered some strength, he would find a place to recover.
However, at this moment, he suddenly heard a faint sound in his head. It seemed like something was approaching him from the shore. He was still thinking about who was here when a few cheers came from afar. Then, the sound of footsteps approached him quickly. In just a few breaths, it had reached Gu Zheng's side.
After that, Gu Zheng could clearly feel that his body had floated up. Then, he quickly fell to the shore. He felt that he had fallen to the shore. His heart was ready to feel pain. However, he felt that his body only trembled slightly. It was as if there was something on his body that helped him to ease the fall.
"Maybe it's my appearance that made the other party think that I'm one of them. It's a blessing in disguise."
Gu Zheng thought that the other party had helped him to ease the fall. Only then did he realize that his appearance was still that of a mirror demon. Although it would lose its effect in a few days, it was undoubtedly the best disguise at this time. However, just as this thought flashed through his mind, he suddenly remembered something in the air. It made his heart turn cold.
"Why is it a subsidiary race of the Painting Soul Tribe? Where's the water demon?"
"Not only water demons can come here. What's with this mirror demon?"
"Let's control him first and see if the water demons are coming. Did something happen?"
"Could it be that the Painting Soul Tribe has already started their operation? No, we have to go back and inform them."
Voices of surprise, doubt, and confusion rang out one after another.
"Capture him and bring him back first. How did the Blue Crystal Fish end up on him? We'll let the manager decide. We'll go ahead and see if we can find the other aquatic demons."
With each voice, Gu Zheng felt that something was wrong. He wanted to find some useful information from the other party's conversation. In the end, his body flew up again, flying rapidly into the distance.
The dizziness in Gu Zheng's head was getting worse. Even though he kept telling himself not to fall asleep, he could not resist his body's instincts. In the end, he fell into darkness again.
This time, after an unknown amount of time, Gu Zheng finally opened his eyes in a daze. He then looked around in a daze, not understanding his situation for a moment.
"Gu gu."
Suddenly, a blue light flashed from the side and stopped in front of Gu Zheng. It hummed twice at Gu Zheng, making a pleasant sound. However, when it saw that Gu Zheng was ignoring it, it swung its tail and sped up, shooting forward like lightning.
"Bang!"
A purple light shield suddenly appeared out of nowhere. Countless black lines weaved through it, blocking the little fish.
Gu Zheng could clearly see that when the little fish, which had come out of nowhere, collided with the shield, a black lightning bolt had come out of it. It connected to the little fish's mouth. When the little fish was sent flying, large amounts of black lightning flashed on its body.
But when the little fish's body flashed with blue light, the powerful lightning disappeared without a trace. Then, the little fish's body turned again and appeared in front of Gu Zheng's chest. It gently rubbed against him and let out a low cry, as if it was complaining about something.
Gu Zheng woke up and remembered what had happened to him. He seemed to have been captured. Not much time had passed, and he was still in his Mirror Demon form.
However, he had no recollection of what had happened to the little fish at all.
Of course, he didn't know that the current state of his body was caused by the little fish colliding with him. Otherwise, he wouldn't be in such a miserable state. But sometimes, fortune and misfortune came together. Because of Gu Zheng's replenishment, the little fish had mistakenly thought that he had saved it. It viewed him as its savior, which was why it was so intimate with him.
Not only did he not have any recollection of this, he even forgot how he had come here. He only knew that Yan Yue had opened a channel and he had gone in. Then, he had been lying on the surface of the water, waiting for the other party to capture him.
Sensing the situation in his body, it was no longer as empty as before. Although it was still a bit empty, at least he had the strength to move. So the first thing he did was take out a medicinal pill and swallow it without hesitation. He began to rapidly recover.
Of course, on the surface, he still looked weak and powerless. After all, from where he was, he could tell that the people who had captured him did not treat him differently because of his identity. Instead, they received him with a 'special' reception.
At this moment, he was in the center of a spirit design. Or rather, this room that imprisoned him was a huge prison, and he was the only guest, if Little Fish was excluded.
The entire room was engraved with countless lines, and some purple light made the room look a little demonic. There was not even a single exit, and the protection was very tight. Just by sensing it a little, he knew that it was impossible for him to quietly break through and leave this place!
However, he didn't know who had imprisoned him. Why did the other party want to trap him here? If it was convenient, wouldn't it be safer to seal him?
Or could it be that the other party didn't seem to have the malicious intent that he had imagined?
Just as Gu Zheng was pondering, a wall in the distance flickered twice. A door of light appeared there, as if someone was about to enter.
