Ji Yu's eyes struggled hard for a long time. He seemed to have made a major decision and took a deep breath.
Ignoring Shu Ci's cold and threatening gaze, he suddenly shouted urgently:
"Stop! The road Shu Ci points to is not the road out of the valley at all. She is leading us deeper into the valley!"
This sudden loud shout made Bailian frown severely, but for some unknown reason, he did not choose to stop.
He rushed towards the next location reported by Shu Ci without hesitation.
Shu Ci also did not expect that at such a critical moment, he would choose to believe himself without hesitation in response to Ji Yu's warning.
It's a matter of life and death, without even a moment's hesitation or doubt.
Balian's unshakable consciousness even made Ji Yu feel that the next moment, he would throw her away as an enemy who sows discord.
If he chooses to believe one person, it means denying the other person.
At this critical moment of life and death, even if it were him, he probably wouldn't allow any mistakes to happen.
But who would have thought that Balian continued to move forward as usual as if he had not heard his call from beginning to end.
Although Ji Yu was grateful to him for not abandoning him, he was extremely anxious as he watched him go deeper and deeper.
As we walked deeper and deeper into the secret realm of the mountain forest, the crimson mist became more and more intense.
But the sounds all around were dead silent, and the mud-like ground under our feet became as hard as growing rocks, and there was no sign of collapse and disintegration like a devouring person.
Even the lingering corpse odor is gradually fading away with the wind.
Except for the thick scarlet mist, this place seems to be no different from the outside world.
It's as if beneath this normal and calm exterior, there's an unexplained original secret hidden.
Those mountains went berserk, and the corpses in the trees and grass forests rose up, chasing and spreading from behind Bailian like a source of pollution.
But the deeper you go, the speed that is as unstoppable as a torrent obviously slows down.
This corpse-like pollution devouring did not spread outward from the center of the valley, but instead gathered towards the center of the valley like a huge cocoon.
Following the last direction reported by Shu Ci, Bai Lian stepped out.
The scarlet fog in front of him suddenly opened up, as if he was separated from himself, revealing the scene in front of him.
The crimson fire illuminates the long night.
What caught my eye was a silently burning crimson cherry tree.
Different from the white bone tree with its towering and huge branches like a forest, this crimson cherry tree is only the size of an ordinary century-old tree.
Whether it is branches, trunks or flowers and leaves, they are as clear as crimson glass, showing crystal patterns like flames flowing inside.
It was even different from the ghostly shadows in other parts of the valley, with the cold, damp breath of death permeating from all directions.
The air here is extremely dry, and the flowers and trees are like the scorching sun.
There are countless pale and cold-looking wandering souls floating near the cherry trees, eager to get closer.
And around the cherry tree, a light barrier formed like an upside-down bowl.
And those pale and cold souls are blocked outside the barrier, and no matter how close they are, they cannot enter.
Balian saw the extraordinary features of the cherry trees within the barrier, even though they had not yet entered the barrier.
The alienation of the surrounding scenery has become very slow, far less dangerous than the many crises along the way.
When Bailian came to the interface, he stopped and put Shu Ci and Ji Yu down.
The moment the body stopped, a wave of fatigue came through the overloaded body.
There was a strong sense of soreness in the bones all over the body, and the muscles were swollen and painful.
He put his left hand on his heart and took a few long breaths before the shaking corpse beads gradually calmed down.
Balian looked at the barrier in front of him, his lips were a little dry from dehydration, and his face was bloodless.
The two scarlet-blooming Manjushua flowers in his pupils have also become much fainter, and the original outline of the flower shadow can hardly be seen.
He calmed down a little before his mind became less cold and numb.
Ji Yu stood beside him, biting his red lips, his eyes full of stubbornness and complexity, and said nothing.
A feeling of uneasiness gradually arose in Bailian's heart. He looked at Shuci and asked, "What is this place?"
Shu Ci looked at the cherry tree barrier, his mind wandering and he didn't know what he was thinking.
There was no answer to Balian's question.
Seeing her look like this, Balian couldn't help but frown deeper.
Just as he was about to continue asking questions, Shu Ci opened his mouth first and said, "This is the 'heart' of Yinxu Valley."
"heart?"
Shu Ci's eyelashes drooped slightly, and the dark circles under his eyes that were originally bluish became thicker under the light and shadow.
"Everything in the world has its weaknesses. The weakness of Guixian Suiyou is the 'Shenque', and the weakness of the Yinxu Valley is the 'heart'."
Bailian knows that Shu Ci has always been knowledgeable about ancient times and the present, so it is not surprising that he knows the unknown secrets of this valley.
But if she knew the way to conquer it, why didn't she say it outright early on, instead of deliberately concealing it, and by leading him out of the valley, she led him here instead?
Ji Yu seemed to have something to say, Shu Ci looked at him indifferently, and then said: "The matter has come to this, there is no way out."
This seemed to be an answer to Balian, but Ji Yu knew that this was meant for him.
Ji Yu opened her mouth silently, as if she had something on her mind that she couldn't express, and there was anxiety between her brows.
But under Shu Ci's indifferent gaze, he still closed his mouth and chose to remain silent.
Seeing this, Bai Lian felt that something was strange. He frowned and said, "You mean, cutting down this tree will solve the problem?"
Shu Ci looked away from Ji Yu and chuckled, "Not bad."
Balian stared silently.
Shu Ci laughed again: "Why, you don't believe me? Now that things have happened, do you think I will still harm you?"
Balian shook his head and saw in his eyes that the rotten and filthy smell in all directions, as if the stench crawling out from the ground, had begun to envelope him.
The earth-gray earth protected under the cherry tree also began to spread under the aura, turning into a muddy brown-red color, and the whole ground was stirring and crawling in a daze.
The forest valley surging in the darkness is even more majestic.
Bailian frowned, took the hands of Shu Ci and Ji Yu, and walked towards the barrier.
"Anyway, let's go in first and talk about it later."
Ji Yu said nothing.
Shu Ci Zhuangruo followed Bailian obediently, walking closely with small steps.
But there was a barrier blocking the burning crimson cherry tree, and the three of them were blocked outside the barrier like wandering ghosts.
Balian's eyes kept wandering, focusing on finding a way to enter the barrier. He didn't notice Shu Ci behind him.
She looked at his back through the dark night, suddenly stretched out her hand, gently put her hand on Balian's shoulder and patted him.
Balian was not on guard against her, but because of the corpse demon's natural sensitivity, he could feel Shu Ci's movements behind him.
His heart moved, and he was about to turn around with some doubts on his face.
But Shu Ci just patted him on the shoulder gently and talked about casual conversation that had nothing to do with breaking the formation:
"You little thing's shoulders are so high that when we sit on them, we can see the distant scenery.
I just don’t know...when you carry me on your back, do you think I’m very heavy?”
Balian was startled, wondering why she suddenly asked this question. He thought she still cared about what Guixian Sui said, so he couldn't help but smile and joke:
"If I say it's serious, will you stop asking me to carry it in the future?"
I thought that after hearing this, Shu Ci would be as stubborn as before, pestering and cheating regardless of the situation.
But who would have thought that after a moment of silence behind her, she said quietly: "Well, it's better not to carry it on your back in the future, right?"
The palm resting on Balian's shoulder suddenly exerted force, and the demon beneath her palm stood up and formed a golden halo of light. An unparalleled power came from under her palm.
Then a terrifying roaring sound erupted from Balian's body, and his shoulder suddenly exploded, leaving five deep scars like animal claws.
Blood gushes out like a fountain, but even his blood energy cannot have half the healing effect.
He was lifted up by a huge force, and blood mixed with the majestic demon power emanating from Shu Ci's body splashed on the circle of light.
It was like heavy rain soaking through a paper window, creating a gap.
Balian fell into the gap, and his body hit hard under the burning crimson cherry tree. The blood sprayed from his body spread into a large area of miserable colors in the clear stream under the tree.
He looked in disbelief at the demon-like woman standing on the other side of the thick fire.
Ji Yu's expression was extremely complicated.
Shu Ci had a sarcastic chuckle at the corner of his mouth and said, "Why, do you still want me to invite you in?"
Ji Yu seemed to be in an extremely bad mood. He didn't say anything and walked towards the boundary in silence.
Shu Ci was left alone, standing outside, with no intention of coming in.
The thin light in the barrier was like a curtain of rain, quickly washing away the blood left by Balian, and the gap that was melted was slowly closing.
Bai Lian struggled to get up, but after being severely injured by Shu Ci's blow, he found that it was difficult to mobilize even half of his spiritual power.
Ji Yu put a hand on his uninjured shoulder and remained silent, preventing him from getting up.
Seeing that the barrier was about to heal, Balian gritted his teeth and said:
"I don't care if you are using me to open this barrier. I will definitely teach you a lesson in the future. But now the barrier is about to close. You come in first."
Through the shallow light mist of the crimson fire, Shu Ci's enchanting face seemed like a dream. She smiled softly, and her eyes returned to the indifference and aloofness of the Mo River period.
"Come in? Come in and be buried with you?"
She didn't move, as if she didn't care at all about the crisis that was starting to turn into corpses and engulf her from all directions.
Balian said that she looked calm and composed, and her eyes gradually became calmer.
He looked at Shu Ci steadily and said, "So, you brought me here on purpose?"
The frivolous smile of the past disappeared from Shu Ci's charming face.
Those vertical eyes that are so deep that they can see into the heart of a person's heart can't help but feel chilling.
She raised the corners of her lips, and her words were as light as cold water: "You seem to have forgotten that we have always been an existence that allows people to escape death."
Shu Ci looked at Balian with his cold eyes, with a touch of compassion and sympathy, shook his head and continued:
"It's ridiculous that you actually think that I have been beaten back to my original form by that demon king, and that I am now just a plaything for you to amuse your boredom with?
You keep calling us little monsters, but Mohe Shuci, who has experienced millions of years, is willing to be a little monster because of his own weakness?"
Balian expressionlessly wiped the blood stained in his palms on his robe and looked at her with a faint look:
"So you are approaching me just to wait for an opportunity and look for an opportunity to restore your cultivation?"
Facing his cold gaze, Shu Ci remained unmoved and smiled faintly.
"Hiding skill behind clumsiness, using obscurity to make things clear, this is also one of the layouts we are best at."
Bailian lowered his eyes and said: "The eagle stands as if sleeping, and the tiger moves as if it is sick. It turns out that this is the real cleverness of Mohe Shuci's method of capturing and devouring people.
It's me who underestimated you, but I don't understand what is there in this valley that is worth taking such a big risk for you?"
Shu Ci's eyes were unreasonably cold: "Of course there is something here that can help us get back to the top and fight back to the demon world.
Otherwise, do you think that I, a man with all my sleeves, are here to have a romantic relationship with you and have a family dinner with you?
It's all thanks to you that we have ended up like this. Today, I'm just asking for a little more interest from you."
"Ask me?"
Shu Ci sneered and said: "As one of the six rivers in the demon world, we are controlled by the demon king.
This chapter is not finished yet, please click on the next page to continue reading the exciting content! If she hadn’t secretly ordered me to let you off at the showdown at the Demon Palace Banquet, how could I have been injured?
You know clearly that the Demon King is violent and tyrannical, but you will never allow others to get a hold of anything she likes!
But you chose to do whatever you wanted to do in the palace of Hades, under her nose, with the Demon He Ning Feiyan in the medicinal bath, forcing the Demon King's heart-burning fruit to explode, and making the inner demon go crazy.
In order to avoid the backlash of her own anger, she came to the Qingshan Mountain where we live. We hurt ourselves and were almost dismembered by this crazy devil.
If I hadn't tried so hard, I would have escaped death and escaped to the world in my original form, and I don't know how tragic my end would have been."
"Bailian, right now do you feel that you have been deceived and wronged by me?
But how do you know that in the world, karma brings retribution, and this is the retribution you should bear."
Balian was stunned.
He did not expect that Yin Feiyan's mischief in that glass bucket would actually bring such a disaster to Shu Ci.
So she was prepared from the very beginning?
"But I didn't lie to you at all."
"This Crimson Cherry Tree is indeed the heart of Yinxu Valley, an important core object. In a short period of time, it seems that you will not be devoured by this valley.
But this cherry tree is particularly sensitive to the breath of souls, and it has extremely powerful power to capture souls. However, due to the barrier set up by the ghost fairy Suiyou, this tree cannot swallow souls.
You are already in the barrier now, until this tree swallows the souls of both of you.
The entire corpse-turned-valley can fall into silence for a short period of time. In this way, we will have time to get what we want." If you like Long Night Walk, please bookmark it: (www.sodu777.net) Long Night Walk search and reading
