withered prosperity

Everyone lined up and walked in a long and narrow passage.

This is similar to a place with a line of sky, with high mountains and rocks on both sides, and only two people are allowed to walk side by side.

Yue Liuyi, who was walking in front of them, turned his head again, his eyes quickly swept over Yan Hai and Yun Ji beside him.

"What are you looking at?" Yan Hai asked her.

"Last night..." Yue Liuyi cleared his throat, "I came back quite late!"

Yan Hai glanced at her.

"I envy you." She sighed. "It's a pity that we are so close..."

Yan Hai stopped suddenly.

"Wei Heng." He said to his back, "Come here."

The whole team stopped, and everyone turned sideways to let Wei Heng catch up from behind.

"Yue Cuiwei, you are..." Yue Liuyi glared at him.

"Wei Heng, Yue Liuyi has something to tell you." Yan Hai pretended not to hear, and said to Wei Heng who came to him.

"Talk to me?" Wei Heng frowned, quite puzzled: "I don't know what advice Liuyi has to offer?"

"I..." Yue Liuyi pursed her lips: "I just want to tell you, if I get injured later, don't play tricks, or I won't be able to let you go."

"If Mr. Liuyi had never harbored ill intentions towards us, I should try my best." Wei Heng replied sternly.

"Look, isn't that enough?" Yan Hai smiled slightly at her: "Is there anything else you want to say?"

"No, thank you very much." Yue Liuyi said angrily, dragging Ah Ying's collar, turned and left.

"Mr. Cuiwei?" Wei Heng felt a little strange, but he didn't know how to ask. "You and her... have nothing to do!"

"Don't worry!" Yan Hai stretched out his hand to pat him on the shoulder, but Yun Ji stopped him halfway, and he could only comfort him, "Yue Liuyi will rely on me, so he won't do anything to me."

Yun Ji took his hand and interlocked his fingers. Yan Hai exerted a little force, but he couldn't break free, so he could only let him go.

They continued to walk forward for about a meal, when their eyes suddenly brightened, and the sunlight that was previously blocked by the mountain wall fell on a large open space in front of them.

The air is lush and grassy, ​​with wildflowers of delicate color.

"Here we are." Yue Liuyi stopped.

Yun Ji looked around, recalled the topographic map, and determined that this is the junction between the first floor and the second floor.

On the other side of this open space is also a narrow road sandwiched between two mountain walls.

Yue Liuyi took a few steps forward and stood in the center.

"Wu Li Xue Sha." She raised her head, glanced at the towering mountain wall in front of her, took a deep breath, and said, "Bring the sheep here."

Immediately someone from behind brought a lamb over, which was specially prepared.

"Pavilion Master Yun, let me show you how terrifying this Wuli Xuesha is." Yue Liuyi pushed the sheep until it reached the entrance on the other side.

The sheep was a little dizzy, stood there bleating a few times, then lowered its head and gnawed the moss on the ground.

It gnawed and gnawed, and stepped into the road between the mountain walls on the other side with one foot.

Everyone waited with bated breath.

"Here we come." Yue Liuyi whispered.

As soon as the words fell, a large cloud of red mist poured out from the mountain walls on both sides, filling the entire passage in the blink of an eye.

The appearance and disappearance of the red mist seem to happen in one moment and the next moment.

And it wasn't until a few breaths after the red mist dissipated that the half sheep fell down.

Yes, only half!

Only the part covered by the red mist, the upper body of the sheep entering the passage, seemed to have been neatly cut off all the flesh and blood by an invisible sharp knife, leaving only the white bones.

And the half that was still outside the passage was completely unscathed, and it didn't even have a chance to scream or struggle...

Yue Liuyi turned around and looked at the reactions of the people behind him.

Not to mention people who have never met before, even the Yin brothers and Wei Heng who had met before showed uncomfortable expressions.

Ah Ying looked around curiously, as if she wanted to take a closer look.

And Yun Ji...he had no expression on his face, and he couldn't tell what he was thinking at all.

"Once any living creature triggers the Wuli Xuesha, they will seal the entire passage. This passage is longer than the first mountain we passed through, so it is impossible to get through."

"They?" Yun Ji raised his eyebrows: "What do they mean?"

"The so-called Wuli Xuesha is actually a very small insect that can't be seen clearly with the naked eye." Yan Hai answered for him: "They like fresh flesh and blood, and once they are contaminated, they will eat them all. No matter what kind of body protection True Qi, or gold and silver armor, can't stop it."

"But if it's a living thing, why can it be confined to this place?" Yun Ji looked at the clearly defined sheep carcass on the ground. "If there are means of restraint, there must be ways of restraint."

"No one knows why they are only restricted to this passage." Yueliuyi dragged Aying and walked to that side: "There are many more strange places in Qianlian Island! Master Yun Pavilion, don't be too busy." Surprised."

She walked to a corner far from the entrance, pulled out the short sword at the back of her waist, and cut off the lush grass, revealing a hidden stone.

Yue Liuyi kicked the stone, and asked here: "Yue Cuiwei, is it this?"

Seeing Yan Hai heaved a sigh of relief, Yun Ji nodded.

The stone is black and gray all over, except for being particularly round, it looks like nothing special.

And after the six of them dripped blood on the stone one by one, the stone did not change in any way.

"Let's go!" Yan Hai withdrew his gaze and looked towards the entrance.

"That's it?" Yue Liuyi asked.

"if not?"

"At least shine a light, there is some movement, otherwise how do we know if it will work or not?"

"You'll know if you try it?" Yan Hai said to her.

"Okay!" Yue Liuyi said with a smile, "Then try it!"

As soon as she finished speaking, she threw A Ying towards the entrance with her hands.

Ah Ying was caught off guard, and when she was thrown out, she was in a daze, and Wei Heng, who was standing beside her, couldn't help but let out an "oops".

"This little thing was trying to kill me in the middle of the night last night!" Yue Liuyi sneered and said, "Try her, it's the most suitable."

Ah Ying was thrown into the passage, and she used her hands and feet almost as soon as she landed, trying to run out.

It was just that Yue Liuyi had already calculated the distance, and when the blood-red mist swarmed out, she took the third step, and there was still a long distance to the exit.

In the blink of an eye, the red mist once again blocked the passage tightly, and people standing outside could not see clearly what was going on inside.

The difference from last time was that the red mist did not recede instantly, but quietly filled the entire passage like solidified blood.
