The mist was like a wave rushing towards the face, but Ding Qin was submerged in just two or three breaths, and his eyes were suddenly blurred.

Ding Qin quickly caught Wen Qianzi at the side, and Jinyan also flew towards her.But before they touched each other, they were submerged in the fog.Ding Qin's fingers flicked over the original position of Wen Qianzi, but found nothing.

"What did you do?!" Ding Qin asked angrily.

"...I'm sorry..." Wood's erratic voice came from the fog, "I didn't want to hurt you. You have drank the bitter vine juice, and you won't be poisoned. The fog will only trap you."

"I just want you to stay..."

"We have promised to come to see you in the future. You are not treating your friends like this." Ding Qin frowned and looked around, but there was something wrong with the mist. Even with her spiritual eyes, she could only see through what was in front of her. Yizhang.

She seems to have changed places.Ding Qin tried to move a small step forward, the soles of her shoes rubbed against the grass, but she couldn't even hear a sound, all the sounds seemed to be swallowed up, only the deep and erratic sound of the wood echoed.

The dense fog is like a dead sea.

"Someone promised me before..." Mu You said quietly, his deep voice was sad and uneasy, but there was something cold in it, "that person strayed into the forest and was rescued by me, he said But he won't be afraid of me, he asked me to send him out of the mountain, and promised to come to see me in the future..."

"...I sent him out, but he never came back..."

The fog around Ding Qin suddenly dispersed for a foot, revealing the green grass.The depression brought by the dense fog dissipated a little, and Ding Qin was slightly relieved.

A little thick white mist turns into small forest beasts, deer jumping, swifts flying, playing around Dingqin in this small and quiet world.They suddenly dissipated into mist and turned into shrunken towns. Pedestrians came and went on the road, the lights were bustling, and the little people formed by the white mist were orderly shopping and playing...but there was no sound at all.

"...I can only wait here and wait, and use the mist to turn into mountain beasts and the bustling city he said, but they are all just mist, none of them can make a sound, and in the end, no one can talk to me... ..." Mu Mu's voice was low and mournful.

The bustling fog scene suddenly dissipated again, flowing all over the ground, flowing across the grass sadly.

Ding Qin's voice softened a little: "It's that person who ignores promises, but that doesn't mean everyone is like this. Since you want to make friends with sincerity, how can you be so forceful? What do you think of us now? "

But Mu Mu continued as if he didn't hear him: "...I waited for him for 150 years before I realized that according to the lifespan of a mortal, he should be dead. He never came to me once until he died..."

"Did you listen to me?" Ding Qin frowned. She hadn't seen Jinyan and Wen Qianzi for a long time, and she was worried, and asked, "What about the two of them?"

"Are you worried about them?" Mu Mu said, "I won't hurt my friends. I'm just lonely, and I want someone to accompany me. I haven't talked to anyone for hundreds of years..."

"They fear me and hate me, and I know it's not their fault. No one has ever spoken to me seriously, and no one has ever told me that beauty and ugliness don't matter, but you said it, you said it...you said it , and why did you leave me?"

"I just want someone to talk to me..."

"Wood, no matter what, you shouldn't do this, let alone separate us. We were suddenly separated, wouldn't we be worried about each other? We are restless and worried, how can we care about other things?"

After a moment of silence in the fog, Mu Mu's voice of apology came: "...I'm sorry, I'll send you to see them right now..."

The dense fog shrouded Ding Qin again, and when it dispersed again, she changed places again.

This time, there was no grass under her feet, but a deep black rock.It was dark all around, the sun's brilliance was gone, but another light source took its place.

It was like a firefly, dotted with light blue and light green light spots, they danced in the air, illuminating this underground cave—it was really a cave as big as a mountain.

Ding Qin looked at this in shock. The ground she stepped on was at most ten feet in radius. Beyond the ground was a deep and vast pool of water. There were light and luminous bubbles floating in the pool. When they floated above the water surface, they shattered and then flew out. A little bit of fluorescent light illuminates this huge underground cave.

And in the center of the ground where she was, grew a huge ancient vine that was as big as a wall.

The ancient vines were strung high and stretched all the way to the top of the cave. The spread of dense and huge vines almost covered half of the cave.

Perhaps because of the lack of light underground, the root of this ancient vine is the same black as the ground, and it gets lighter as it goes up, and soon changes from dead gray to almost translucent white, and the veins on it are faintly visible.

Dots of fluorescent light shuttle between the leaves of the vines, as beautiful as a blurred dream under the starry sky.

Ding Qin forced herself to look away, and asked, "Where are the two of them?"

"On the opposite side." Mu Mu's voice sounded.

In the cave, his voice was no longer erratic like in the thick fog on the ground, but turned into a low hum that echoed here.

Hearing this, Ding Qin turned around and turned to Guteng, and before he was halfway there, he heard Jinyan chirping: "Ding Qin? Ding Qin? Are you here too?"

Wen Qianzi was also here, he met Jinyan first, and now he was flying tremblingly in mid-air while holding Jinyan's paws, while desperately stretching his head to look this way.

"I'm here." Ding Qin breathed a sigh of relief, "Are you alright?"

"We're fine, we just got lost for a while." Jin Yan said.

Wen Qianzi couldn't find a suitable word for a while, so he also squeaked there.

Wood has been silent.

Jinyan turned his head to look around, exclaimed, "Where is this? It's really beautiful!"

"This is a hollow in the mountain." Wood's muffled voice sounded.

The clear water pool under their feet is full of highly poisonous venom, and the flying fireflies are all rotten fireflies born of rotten poison.Although this place is beautiful, it is full of poison, and no one has ever been able to appreciate it.

"I will remember this place, and I will remember you, and I will come back to visit. But now we have something urgent, take us away." Ding Qin said, "We will not go back on what we promised. Don't continue before it's too late. Go wrong."

Wood is silent.

Ding Qin pursed her lips tightly, her slender eyebrows frowned and said: "Friends don't cheat, you don't have to force them. Friends are made by getting along. If you can't force us to stay like this, I will definitely find a way to leave."

She stopped talking, and only used her spiritual eyes to concentrate on finding a way out.

"I'm sorry, I know you are angry. At that time, when I found out that person lied to me, I was also angry like this." Mu Mu said quietly, "But then I slowly accepted it. What's the point of being angry? He has already Dead. I just want someone to accompany me...you can't get out...you will accept it..."

Jinyan also became annoyed: "Why don't you listen? We are in a hurry to save people, so what's the point of stopping us here? You let us accept it, how can we accept it?"

"You all have friends, you all have family, and when you're together, you don't think about me. That guy also said he was going back to tell his family he was safe, and then he never came back. People have better things , how can you think of the ugly wood? When you leave, you will never think of me again, and you will never come back."

"This place is so beautiful, I'm the only ugly monster who has been here for thousands of years, looking at each other alone."

The sound of wood echoed endlessly.

Ding Qin ignored him, and only channeled his divine power into his eyes, intending to find the exit here.

There was no fog in the underground cave, and the wood seemed to have no intention of covering it up, and she soon saw a change of inspiration.

This underground cavity is strangely formed, with tight walls and no entrance or exit, but the poison in the pool is made of corruption. Since there is no entrance and exit, what is it that corrupted into poison in Tanzhong?It can't be the original rocks, earth and rocks, can it?

And... Ding Qin shifted her gaze to Gu Teng.Where did this old vine come from and how did it grow?

She looked up along the old vines, and saw the white branches and leaves clinging to the cave, like pale blood vessels.

The vine has nothing to do, so it can only crawl and climb, but this old vine was born in the middle of the pool, and there is nothing around it to climb up, so it climbs itself.The vines are soft and unable to stand tall.When they fell down, they piled up, stepped on their stacked bodies, and continued to go up, again and again, stacking themselves into a tower, and finally reached the rock wall on the top of the cave.

Therefore, the root of the old vine is much wider and thicker than the tree. It tamps its soft branches into such a thick foundation, so that it can support itself to climb to the top of the cave.

Why are you so persistent?

Ding Qin touched the rough skin of the old vine and climbed up the old vine.

Jin Yanhu was by her side, and Wen Qianzi followed her.Wood has not spoken.

When climbing to the top, the vines under the hands and feet transition from black and gray to branches and leaves that are as translucent as white chalcedony.

Surrounded by rotten fireflies, Ding Qin couldn't help but pause for a moment, as if she was carried into the prosperous night sky by these jade branches.

She raised her head to look at the top of the cave, at the tips of the white chalcedony-like branches, there was a bit of emerald-like green.In the gap where the blue color gathers, a little spot of light reveals downward.

It is not the cold blue and cold green of rotten fireflies, but the pale gold warmed by the sun.

Ding Qin tried to peel off the vines, but the vines were extremely tough and dense.Ding Qin frowned, stretched out her sword aura from her fingertips, and tried to chop, several vines snapped off and fell into the pool, sparking a splash of water and cold streamers.

Wood's painful muffled sound suddenly sounded in the hollow, and several chalcedony-like vines climbed up at the same time, filling the positions of the chopped vines in the blink of an eye.After they came into contact with the sun, they curled up as if they were burned, and a pale mist filled the air. Under the sunlight diluted by the mist, they gradually turned emerald green.

Ding Qin stopped her hands: "What's going on?"

"This vine grew on my body." Mu Mu's deep voice sounded.

"I am at the bottom of this pool, and I have been soaked in poison for countless years. Whether it is the bones of other beasts or the weeds and trees around me, they have been corrupted into this pool of clear poison for endless years. Only I have been soaked in poisonous juice, but I have not been rotted."

"Then one day, I suddenly became spiritual."

"It's so cold and lonely here. There's no living beings but myself. No one talks to me, no one makes a sound. I often think, why is it just me? Why is everything else gone, and only I remain Come down? Since I am the only one, why do I have to give birth to spiritual wisdom?"

"Then I didn't know why, and suddenly I felt like I was pregnant, so I urged it to grow and grow, and finally gave birth to a vine."

"I don't know how long it took me to grow this vine until it climbed up the rock wall. It took me another long time to drill a hole in the thick mountain wall."

"That day, I saw the sun for the first time."

Ding Qin dissipated the sword energy from her fingertips, she was speechless.

Wood paused for a moment, then continued: "But there is still no one in the mountain who can talk to me, not even a spiritual animal. It took me a long time to transform into shape, and I can't stay too far away from this mountain. , but I forced myself to go down the mountain to find someone who can communicate with me..."

"I know what ugliness is."

"Don't leave, okay?" Wood begged, "Stay, I've waited for too long, I can't bear to wait any longer."

Ding Qin sighed, she shook her head: "We will come back to see you."

Mu Mu was silent for a long time: "This vine lives on my energy. If you cut off a branch, it will be filled with another branch. If you cut off all the vines, you can go out."

"Do you have to do this?" Ding Qin frowned.

When the vines were cut off, the essence of the wood was exhausted, and he died.

"I know you have this ability, and you have a powerful aura. But I won't let you go." After Mu Mu said, the vines in the cave moved, covering the top of the mountain wall thicker and denser.

Despite Ding Qin and Jinyan's persuasion, he refused to speak any more.

The clear pool is full of light, and rotten fireflies are circulating. They gather on the crystal-like jade branches and dance around the people and demons in the branches.It's both a threat and a plea.

This beautiful and dead mountain hollow is like a graveyard soaked in poison.

Ding Qin looked at them sadly, shook her head, closed her eyes, and the divine seal on her forehead lit up like the sun.
