Chapter 384
Chapter 384
Jizhi was coaxed into silence by his sister. He looked around and found that there was mud and sand everywhere around him that could drown him.
They were staying on a place that looked relatively safe, but such safe ground was rare, and most of the view was mud and sand that looked flat but was actually dangerous.
He was terrified.
After being "eaten" this time, he has been traumatized.
He was not afraid of being eaten, but he was afraid that the mud and sand would eat his sister as well.
So he quickly picked up Yu Xi, held her high up, and shouted anxiously: "I'm carrying my sister and leaving here. It's dangerous here!"
"Don't be impatient, brother. Wait a minute."
Yu Xi was suddenly lifted up high and was startled. She patted Ji Zhi's shoulder to comfort him.
Seeing Jizhi standing there obediently, she began to assess her surroundings.
Although he didn't know what had happened, Yu Xi was sure that he was still among the mountains.
We should return to Tianqiantai now.
However, this kind of mud and sand array can easily trap monks. Even if they fly through the air, something may emerge from the mud and sand in the next second and drag them down.
This kind of formation is arranged here over a large area, most likely to prevent outsiders from approaching. If someone accidentally touches something dangerous, the situation will be dire.
Fortunately, Yu Xi was able to calculate the way out based on the layout of the surrounding mud and sand. She released some spiritual energy to explore the surroundings. It was too hot and she really didn't want to walk. She simply continued to ride on Ji Zhi's shoulders, patted Ji Zhi's head and said:
"Brother, follow the direction of my finger."
Jizhi nodded quickly and went wherever his sister pointed. He changed his usual jumping and skipping style and was as cautious as possible along the way.
Just as they were about to walk out of the mud and sand array, Yu Xi suddenly felt a coolness on her face and neck, which slightly dissipated the heat covering her body.
She raised her hand and touched her face, feeling a light mist.
water?
I looked up at the sky. The sun was shining brightly, but it wasn't raining.
Just as she was wondering, she caught the sound of water. She turned her head quickly and saw a column of water coming rapidly from a distance.
The water column was in the shape of a water dragon, winding above the mud and sand, and a man and a woman were sitting sideways on the faucet.
It is not suitable to fight and attack in the mud and sand array. Yu Xi originally wanted Ji Zhi to avoid the water dragon, but the water dragon was moving very fast and did not seem to intend to fight with them here. It only sprayed a large amount of water when passing in front of them.
Ji Zhi almost subconsciously held Yu Xi in his arms and moved sideways to block the water splashing around the water dragon.
As a result, Yu Xi was hardly stained by water, but Ji Zhi was completely soaked, with his hair dripping with water, and he instantly became a drowned chicken.
"younger sister?"
Jizhi didn't know why a wild boar appeared and sprayed water everywhere, but he knew that his sister almost got wet, so he looked at Yu Xi worriedly.
Yu Xi looked at Ji Zhi's wet appearance and his face turned cold.
Although they didn't know where that man and woman came from, the road was so wide and they had to pass in front of them. It was completely intentional to drench them in water. It was simply too much!
She was no longer afraid of the heat. She jumped to the ground quickly, used the cleaning technique to dry Jizhi's body, and pulled Jizhi out of the mud and sand array.
The man and woman riding the water dragon were indeed waiting for them outside the mud and sand formation.
These two people are one human and one demon, the man is a demon and the woman is a human.
The woman had prominent brow bones, and her eyes were smiling yet sharp. Her long black hair was braided and hung behind her, and a long hairband was swaying in the wind.
She was wearing a short robe with arrow sleeves, thick-soled combat boots, holding a bow and arrow, and standing beside the water dragon.
The man was thin and frail, with dark blue hair and bony cheeks, but his bones were soft.
The base of the eyes on both sides are covered with scales, extending to behind the ears, which are fin-shaped. There is a circle of burn marks on the neck, and there are also circles of wrinkled burn marks on the exposed hands and wrists.
Mermaid?
Yu Xi had only seen the appearance of mermaids in books, and its facial features completely matched the man's current appearance.
Wait, didn’t my brother say that mermaids no longer exist in this world?
The merman was stroking the water dragon's head. When he saw Yu Xi coming out, he used water as a spear in his hand, and pointed the sharp tip of the spear directly at Yu Xi's eyebrows:
"Who are you?"
He seemed to have not spoken for a long time, and when he spoke he had the awkwardness of a child just learning to speak.
"You should have announced your names first. You deliberately wet my brother's clothes. Apologize."
Yu Xi flicked the tip of her tail coldly, and the burning light fell on her shoulders. She looked at the person in front of her with the same hostility.
Hearing this, the merman frowned slightly, and the woman beside him had already drawn her bow and aimed it at Yu Xi:
"No need to waste time talking to them. Since they are monks, we should just kill them. We can't let anyone get in our way."
As soon as she finished speaking, the arrow in the woman's hand flew out. She was obviously a mortal, but the arrow she shot was full of spiritual energy. With one arrow, she blasted a deep pit on the ground in front of Yu Xi.
Seeing them attacking Yu Xi, even though Yu Xi dodged in time, Ji Zhi's expression changed instantly.
Yu Xi is Ji Zhi's bottom line.
He wants to be a good brother, and a good brother must protect his sister.
His whole body was instantly filled with demonic energy, and even his clear starry eyes lowered their eyelids, becoming a little gloomy.
"Demon?"
The woman was stunned. She didn't expect that the person in front of her was not a cultivator but a demon.
But Ji Zhi had already appeared in front of the woman at this moment, and he raised his hand to pinch her neck.
This time he was going to break the other person's neck.
The mermaid on the side immediately raised his spear to block, but before the spear could be thrust out, a flash of sword light flashed and got stuck on the tip of his spear.
Immediately afterwards, Jizhi's sleeve was also grabbed by Yu Xi.
"elder brother!"
Ji Zhi stopped moving instantly and turned to look at Yu Xi.
"Sister, she hit you!" Although Ji Zhi listened to his sister and stopped attacking, he still didn't forget to complain angrily.
Yu Xi asked him to squat down, touched his head, and soothed him:
"Don't worry, let me ask them a few questions first."
The merman and the woman also took two steps back.
"We are not cultivators." Yu Xixian looked at the two people in front of him and said.
She noticed that the other party's hostility instantly decreased by half after they discovered that they were demons. She guessed that the other party was probably targeting the immortal monks just like them.
Sure enough, after she said this, the woman and the merman lost their malice, and the merman asked another question:
"Then why were you able to use spiritual energy just now?"
He clearly saw Yu Xi using spiritual energy to test the mud and sand formation.
Yu Xi gathered spiritual energy in one hand and demonic energy in the other and said, "I am practicing both demonic and spiritual energy."
The merman seemed stunned. He didn't expect that there was someone in this world who could practice both magic and spirit.
The woman asked cautiously, "What are the demons doing in Chongshan?"
Yu Xi asked in return, "What can we do? You should have noticed the commotion at the Immortal Sect Conference."
As soon as these words came out, the woman immediately realized that she had attacked the wrong person. She didn't care about her face, so instead of making new enemies, she would rather admit her mistake immediately.
He immediately stepped forward and bowed to Yu Xi to apologize:
"I'm sorry, we thought you were monks. We got your brother's clothes wet and attacked you. I apologize and will make compensation."
As she spoke, the woman took out a copper coin with a string of ant patterns printed on it from her bosom and said:
"This is a token of my loyalty. With this, you can withdraw any amount of gold and silver from Tonghui Bank as my apology."
