Chapter 229: Run to the Light
She seemed to suddenly understand something and stopped where she was.
Jiang Tingwan followed her trembling gaze and looked at himself and Mu Yunzhong, and immediately got off Mu Yunzhong in panic.
"That..." Jiang Tingwan was at a loss for words for a moment, "Just now, there was a snake!"
"It's not what you think..." Jiang Tingwan didn't know why he was panicking. He just subconsciously wanted to explain. Although Mu Qingge was inexperienced, he was not a dull person. Thinking back on the past, he almost understood everything.
"Third Uncle! Mu Yunzhong, you are here after all!" As he spoke, another familiar voice came from behind him.
The three of them turned around and found out that it was Meng Ziyuan and his two companions.
"Why are you here?" Mu Qingge asked.
Meng Ziyuan replied, "We were originally following the head master to guard the barrier, but as soon as we arrived at the sea, the master asked us to come back to look for Mu Yunzhong. Later, the barrier was broken and the Wuji Abyss opened. As soon as we returned to the trial field, we saw the miasma everywhere. We happened to see Wen Bumian taking away the third master, so we followed you to chase him."
Hearing Meng Ziyuan's words, Mu Yunzhong's eyes flickered slightly, and he subconsciously glanced at the three people in front of him. He understood why Cang Shuzi and the others asked them to come back.
It’s not that they can’t see that after entering Wujiyuan, they are still looking for their own reasons.
"Where is Lin Shuyu?" Jiang Tingwan saw Mu Yunzhong's expression and asked him the questions he might ask. If Meng Ziyuan could come to find him, Lin Shuyu would not be left behind.
Mo Shaoyang replied: "We didn't see it, but when we came in, the Five Elements Seal had been repaired. Maybe we were the last ones to come in."
"That's good. After all, this is a dangerous place. It's a good thing that he didn't come in." Jiang Tingwan said.
Hearing this, several people's expressions became somewhat complicated.
Mo Shaoyang said, "I heard from the head master that the time of the opening of Wuji Abyss was calculated and verified over a period of 7,000 years. Except for those three days, the degree of danger in Wuji Abyss varies. Today, the miasma and vines alone have trapped us for a long time. It seems to be true."
As he spoke, the miasma that had been split apart by Mu Yunzhong was actually condensing again. Those flames that were difficult to extinguish were gradually extinguished as the miasma approached, as if they were bitten by something.
The miasma that gathered again was even thicker than before.
Everyone's expressions became solemn again.
Mo Shaoyu said: "I don't know if you have noticed that this miasma will weaken the attack, or it is as if the attack will be absorbed by something. It feels like... being swallowed?"
Mu Qingge also said, "I just saw those people tied up by vines. They died tragically, looking emaciated. The vines pierced their skin and flesh, sucking out their blood, bones, and spiritual energy. Even their bones were slowly disappearing."
Hearing the conversation around him, Mu Yun finally seemed to react at this moment. He did feel his movements slowing down and his attacks weakening. At that time, he just thought it was because Jiang Tingwan was too close to him, and that his performance was limited due to the influence of his thoughts, so he did not realize it in time.
Meng Ziyuan also said: "I saw it too. This miasma is not poisonous, but rather looks like..."
He didn't finish his words, or perhaps he felt unsure, so he didn't continue.
"Living creatures." Mu Yunzhong took over his words, looking at the gradually extinguished flames in front of him, his eyes darkened, "They are a group of living creatures that will devour everything that does not belong to this dense forest."
Hearing this, Jiang Tingwan shuddered unconsciously. Fortunately, he was no longer the useless person he was before, otherwise he would have been eaten alive by this group of miasma as soon as he fell in.
"You realized it so quickly, you're not stupid." A strange male voice suddenly came from above the dense miasma forest. If it wasn't Wen Bumian, he didn't hear any malice in it. "It's just that if you keep talking, you will really be eaten by this forest."
The man's voice sounded a little vicissitudes of life, but not old. Instead, he had a leisurely attitude of watching a show.
"Who?" Meng Ziyuan asked subconsciously.
The man didn't answer, but just laughed a few times, and then there was no more sound.
Mu Qingge reminded: "No matter who he is, let's leave here first."
Everyone looked at each other, and as soon as Jiang Tingwan nodded, Mu Yunzhong grabbed her wrist.
Before Jiang Tingwan could react, he was pulled up to Yuxiao. But as soon as they were in the air, vines and branches stretched out, blocking their way. The faster they went, the faster the vines went.
Looking at the vines in front of him and hearing the familiar rustling sounds in the darkness again, Jiang Tingwan reacted, "This was the only thing that attacked us just now?"
Mu Yunzhong immediately understood what she was saying and nodded.
Jiang Tingwan, however, was so embarrassed when he recalled how he hung on him that he didn't know what to do. He could only blame Mu Yunzhong for the misunderstanding. "A lot of them, so densely packed, and able to fly, how can you describe them?"
Mu Yun finally led her to dodge while replying to her, "Isn't it appropriate?"
Jiang Tingwan was speechless. It was indeed very appropriate.
Why didn't she open her eyes once?
Doesn't this misunderstanding make me look sick?
Mu Yunzhong and the others were concentrating on escaping, and Jiang Tingwan could only carefully watch the scene in front of him. The giant trees that were cut down by Mu Yunzhong actually grew new branches at this moment, and the vines became more and more lush, soon covering the entire sky.
And every time they cut a vine that was blocking their way, they grew faster.
"Stop!" Jiang Tingwan yelled, "Don't move."
Although no one knew why, it was Jiang Tingwan who spoke after all, and several people nearby stopped at the same time, and the vines blocking the way also slowed down.
All that was left was the reborn giant tree that continued to grow.
Everyone instantly understood what Jiang Tingwan meant. Mo Shaoyu immediately asked, "Are they using the spiritual power we exert to be reborn?"
Mo Shaoyang also said: "The more we fight back, the more ferocious they become...but what about this fire?" However, he did not fully understand why this fire, which is also a kind of spiritual power, could burn trees.
Jiang Tingwan looked at the newly condensed miasma and said, "Trees are afraid of fire. Although this fire has burned a path, it has also nourished a more intense miasma. No matter what kind of moves you use, they cannot be used here."
Following Jiang Tingwan's words, everyone landed on the ground.
"Little kids, now that you've been discovered, why don't you run away?" The voice sounded again, and its words were concise and to the point.
He was reminding them to run with their legs.
Everyone came to their senses and were about to raise their feet, but Jiang Tingwan shouted again, "Wait a minute!"
Several people looked at her at the same time, and saw her smiling and asking towards the voice above.
"Since you are willing to help us, why don't you tell us where to run?"
The voice paused for a moment and replied: "How do you know I will help you?"
Jiang Tingwan: "This dense forest is extremely dangerous, and ordinary people can't stay here for long. You don't want to run away quickly, but you accompany us back and forth. If you don't really want to help us, then you are just bored."
"If you want to help, you might as well be happy; if you are too idle, you will be even more idle if we die."
Listening to Jiang Tingwan's words, Meng Ziyuan and the other two looked at each other. The way Third Uncle spoke seemed a little strange, yet familiar.
After a long period of silence, the voice in the air burst into laughter.
“Hahahahaha…Interesting, interesting!”
"Run to where the light is."
After a big laugh, the man said this.
