Wu Yu stood up, heard Zhang Qiling's words, wrung the water out of his clothes, and immediately asked, "What method?"

"Close your eyes." Zhang Qiling is always a man of few words, and it is difficult to fully understand his intentions.

Fortunately, everyone was obedient. When Xie Yuchen closed his eyes, he found that the surrounding environment was changing. His sight seemed to have the ability to penetrate the walls. As he concentrated, his gaze would leap to a very far place, breaking through all shackles and allowing him to see the scenery on Changbai Mountain.

And as he relaxed, his gaze would be drawn very close, so close that he could even count Wu Mi's eyelashes.

Xie Yuchen was the first to express his doubts, "Why does this place look completely different after I close my eyes?"

"Illusion." Zhang Qiling closed his eyes, put his hands in his pockets, and tightly grasped the bronze bell. However, the vibration on it made his palms numb.

Everyone was waiting for him to continue explaining, which made the fat man anxiously slap his thigh and said, "Brother Qi Ling, just say it directly!"

Zhang Qiling lowered his eyes and held the bronze bell tightly in his hand, fearing that it would ring even louder. He explained, "From the beginning, it was an illusion."

"But didn't you crush the bronze bell? Could it be that you found a new one?" Wu Yu already had the answer in his mind, and he opened his eyes immediately after he said it. At the same time, he noticed that Zhang Qiling was behaving strangely.

Normally, the man who usually puts his hands on weapons, ready to respond to crises at any time, actually has one hand in his pocket at this moment.

Wu Yu's eyes stayed on Zhang Qiling for a few seconds, and then his tone gradually became furious. He almost stepped forward aggressively, wanting to pull the other person's hand out without thinking, "Zhang Qiling! Are you thinking of leaving with that broken bell?!"

"Naive! Even if Brother Qi Ling brought a new bronze bell, so what? Can he enter the bronze door without the Ghost Seal? Besides, what's wrong with you today? Why do you think of everything in the worst possible way!" The fat man pulled Wu Yu, but the bastard was also very powerful when he went crazy. He looked like he was going to bite anyone he caught.

Of course, if Fatty and Jie Yuchen could see the bloodstains on Wu Yu's mouth that had been diluted by water, they would definitely be even more shocked.

Fortunately, Xie Yuchen acted decisively, opened his eyes, and gently swung the dragon-patterned stick horizontally, accurately blocking Wu Yu's teeth. The pain of the bite made Wu Yu sober up for a moment, but when he turned to the fat man and asked him to let him go, there was obvious incomprehension and pain in his eyes, which made people feel uneasy.

"Ghost...Xi, um...is gone!" Wu Yu was forced to speak in silence.

Wu Yu discovered it when he woke up, but if Zhang Qiling had not exposed the illusion, perhaps he would not have been so angry. However, he had already lost a little brother, and it was impossible and he would never accept that Zhang Qiling in the team also disappeared.

The fat man grabbed Wu Xie's shoulder with one hand and used his forearm to hold down his neck as he tried to stretch it forward. The force was not strong, but by using the fear of having the neck restrained, it could make the imprisoned person have a certain fear of death. Of course, he knew that Wu Xie was definitely not afraid of him.

But when the fat man heard Wu Yu's words, he was still slightly stunned. He was also afraid that the Ghost Seal was taken away by Zhang Qiling, and this idea became more and more intense in the silence of everyone, causing no one to dare to look at Zhang Qiling.

Only Wu Yu, the fearless one, was about to rush forward to question. Perhaps because he was out of control, his eyes were red and he continued to grit his teeth like a ferocious beast, "The effect of the combination of the two... Fatty, you know!"

As he finished speaking, the situation became worse. The space shook violently, and large amounts of water poured down through the new cracks. There was a beam of water that was precisely trying to hit Zhang Qiling's left shoulder. The situation was both shocking and dangerous.

Yan Bucun wanted to pull, but Zhang Qiling dodged to the side just in time, causing his hand to miss.

In less than two seconds, Zhang Qiling didn't know whether he was explaining or simply stating the facts. His tone was so calm that one couldn't tell whether he was happy or angry. "It's too late."

Yan Bugun looked at Wu Yu, whose clear soul was becoming distorted and crazy with the frequency of the bronze bell.

At the same time, he could clearly feel that Zhang Qiling's soul was also changing. However, unlike Wu Yu's impatience, his silence caused the single soul form to become increasingly dim, like the smallest boat drifting on the sea, without a sail to move forward or a turntable to turn around, alone, constantly falling into the abyss...

The water that was poured in had already reached Zhang Qiling's ankles. From beginning to end, he had no intention of explaining. After all, the Ghost Seal was really in Yan Bucun's possession, and he couldn't explain himself even if he was right.

"No...believe your eyes." This was the only thing Zhang Qiling said at the end.

The ambiguity of the words in this sentence made Yan Bucun unable to tell whether he believed it or not. Although the two choices made no difference to him, he couldn't help but ask, "What does it mean?"

Zhang Qiling didn't say anything, but just closed his eyes. He felt the space changing, and a bunch of eyeballs popped up again. They were playing and chasing each other in the water like fish, with their clearly visible blood vessels swaying like glass beads decorated with tassels.

They began to surge in one direction, and a dark hole appeared at that location. It seemed that the eyeballs did not disappear out of thin air, but used the bronze bell to enter a magic array.

"Trust me." Zhang Qiling didn't know who he was talking to, but everyone understood what he meant. They couldn't accept the fate of drowning, so they could only leave with him.

The fat man signaled Xie Yuchen not to pull out the dragon-patterned stick for the time being, but to comfort Wu Yu, holding his face with both hands, gently scratching it with his fingertips, and softening his tone, so light that it seemed like just a whisper:

"Naive... If we don't leave now, we will really stay here forever. We can worry about some things, but not now. Brother Qi Ling always puts our safety first. He won't let us die here. When the time comes, we can go up and tie him up together. One person can't beat four hands, don't you think?"

"He...he is helping Qi Ling." Wu Yu stared at Yan Bucun who was chasing after Zhang Qi Ling, took space from under the fat man's armpit, and pointed with his finger.

The kindness on the fat man's face froze for a moment, but he immediately changed his words, "There are three of us, are we still afraid of the two of them?"

"Stop talking, let's go, Wu Yu." Xie Yuchen pulled out the dragon-patterned stick and patted the two men on the shoulders. "He's been waiting there for a long time."

Xie Yuchen did not refute. Although he really wanted to say that perhaps the three of us together might not be able to beat them, he finally swallowed back the words.

After Wu Yu broke away from the dragon-patterned stick, he moved his sore lips a few times, and without saying anything else, he immediately followed.

Zhang Qiling, who was leading the way, had a smooth journey. Unfortunately, the endless stairs separated the water like a pipe, making it difficult to tell whether it was going up or down. The walls here were not rugged, but very smooth. Even if you put your fingertips on them, you would not feel any raised patterns.

Compared to the dilapidated place I walked through before, this place is really a place that has been meticulously carved out.

Zhang Qiling looked up and found that his vision was stretched a lot further away. He saw a wall that his vision could not penetrate at all. He thought it was a dead end, but he did not expect that when he moved, the wall began to retreat continuously, as if it had life. This made him wonder if Chen Shisan was not dead and the other party was using a mechanism again.

The journey was so peaceful that Zhang Qiling's vigilance was stretched to the limit. The people leading the way seemed like a group of playing children, entangled and dancing together, unwilling to separate and heading together. They looked so leisurely, as if they were just going home.

At this time, Yan Bucun was walking at the end of the team. Facing Wu Yu's distrustful look back several times, he personally grabbed one of the eyeballs with his hand, and felt the burning 'closed eyes' gaze, which made him hurriedly explain, "Don't worry, I... just take a look."

This made Wu Yu unable to swallow the nervousness that he had mentioned, as if his initial distrust of Zhang Qiling had been inherited by Yan Bucun.

"It's better to just take a look." Wu Yu responded in a not very good-tempered manner.

This attitude made the fat man pat his head on the back, "Naive, we can't say that..."

Although they were united against the outside world, Wu Yu's malicious intent had become too obvious for some reason.

The water had reached his waist and abdomen, and Zhang Qiling had stopped in front of the wall. He saw that there were three grooves on the top, but there was only one bead on the chest. This made him feel troubled, but he quickly turned his gaze to the eyeballs swimming around, grabbed two and stuffed them in.

Fortunately, it really worked. With a click, the entire wall quickly retreated. Zhang Qiling didn't have time to retrieve the red jade bead, but he could still see from the halo at the end that a very narrow and long corridor had been vacated. When he ran forward, the wall would retreat. When he stopped and started to retreat, the wall would get closer and closer.

Zhang Qiling noticed this pattern and said, "Stand still."

After he gave the order, he turned around and ran backwards. The wall kept getting closer and closer to Xie Yuchen in front of him, as if it was going to crush him. However, Zhang Qiling controlled his speed very accurately. Just when the wall was about to hit Xie Yuchen's nose, he stopped instantly.

"Take it down." Zhang Qiling said.

The fat man touched his chin and it took him a long time to figure out what this mechanism was. However, he didn't know how it could sense the direction a person was heading. He simply stopped thinking about it and just followed Zhang Qiling's order and poked Jie Yuchen, "Master Hua, take it down."

"Okay." Xie Yuchen responded and took the red jade bead directly.

But the next moment, a wall appeared in front of Zhang Qiling and began to descend from above.

Wu Yu was afraid that Zhang Qiling might get into an accident, so he kept looking behind him. This situation made him rush over, "Zhang Qiling! Come here quickly!"

"Naive! Watch out for your hands!!!" the fat man exclaimed.

Fortunately, Yan Bushun was quick-witted and grabbed Wu Di's down jacket hood, preventing all his fingers from being cut off.

Zhang Qiling swung his knife quickly, and the soft blade stopped vertically, but could not bear its weight and bent sharply to a certain arc, like a bow.

As fast as a swimming fish, he dived from a height of less than half a meter and flicked the knife into the feet of everyone, thus saving Soft Blade's body. In the whole process, if there was a mistake, perhaps he or Wu Xie would have lost arms and legs.

Xie Yuchen, who was holding the red jade bead, was sweating all over. He really didn't expect this situation. He calmed down and found his voice after a while. He asked, "Are you okay?"

"It's okay...it's okay, Tian Zhen is fine, and brother Qi Ling is also safe and sound..." The fat man just wiped the sweat from his anxious sweat, and was frightened by Wu Yu again.

Wu Yu tightly held Zhang Qiling's hand, fearing that he would leave alone again. He wanted to show concern, but the words that came out of his mouth were full of suspicion and resentment, "Is this your way of wanting to leave again? Zhang Qiling, I really overestimated you."

After he finished speaking, his face turned pale, and he realized that all the concern stuck in his throat had changed its taste.

Then, Wu Yi let go of Zhang Qiling's hand in panic, covered his mouth tightly, quickly let go, and began to explain stutteringly.

"No, no... That's not what I meant, Qi Ling, I..." Wu Yu became more and more confused as he spoke anxiously.

Zhang Qiling just lowered his head, keeping his eyes on Yan Bucun who was holding Wu Yu, "Let go."

"Okay." Yan Bucun responded quickly and let go of his hand. He thought Zhang Qiling would forget about it.

Zhang Qiling took the knife back into his hand, and as he approached Jie Yuchen to take back the red jade bead, he only said one sentence to Wu Yu, "I know."

But whether the "know" he mentioned refers to knowing that Wu Yu's words were insincere or calmly accepting the malice in them, it is still unknown.
