Chapter 386 Illusion?
Chapter 386 Illusion?
Last night, in order to divert attention, Zhao Mu deliberately found topics to chat with Xia Ruoxi.
The person the two talked about the most was Huang Nishang, and they discussed whether there was any way to capture this Phoenix girl, because they all believed that Huang Nishang knew the way to leave this forbidden land of death.
Precisely because of this, even though he chose to escape last night, he now decided to take the initiative to chase after him.
Of course, from the beginning to the end, the decision was made by Xia Ruoxi, and Zhao Mu believed in the heroine's extraordinary luck.
As for Huang Nishang, the two of them had discussed how to deal with it. Perhaps Xia Ruoxi really regarded Zhao Mu as her man, so she revealed a lot of her cards without reservation, which shocked Zhao Mu.
Now that they were in a cooperative state, he couldn't be stingy and brought out some cards that had a certain probability of being helpful. After a whole night, he could be considered to have gained something.
There's definitely no 100% certainty, but at least we can give it a try.
It is precisely because of this that the conversation just now took place.
Although it was an extremely foolish choice to completely trust others, especially the heroine whom he had avoided the most before, Zhao Mu really believed it this time, because Xia Ruoxi actually opened her soul space and let him enter last night.
The heroine opened up everything about herself to gain trust, and this move really changed his prejudice against Xia Ruoxi.
"Brother Zhao, will I still make all the decisions later?"
Xia Ruoxi asked as she quietly approached Huang Nishang.
"Yes, everything revolves around you, and I'm just playing a supporting role."
Zhao Mu replied seriously.
"I have another question. Can the medicine you gave me really have such a great effect?"
"Normally, even a Four Extreme Realm cultivator wouldn't be able to withstand it."
"What about you? You and I..."
"Hey, let's get down to business. What are you thinking about? No."
"Brother Zhao, you misunderstood. Ruoxi meant that if she gets hurt accidentally later, and the Phoenix Girl isn't affected, then you and I will have to put on a show for her. Do you have an antidote?"
Xia Ruoxi immediately explained.
"No."
Zhao Mu shook his head. Qiu Zilin hadn't prepared an antidote at all. Even if he had prepared the Chinese medicine himself, there were plenty of women to help him detoxify. There was no need. "So, be careful later. I'm warning you, business is more important. Don't deliberately create an accident for me. If you do that, the friendship we've built up over the past few days will be gone."
"One meal is enough for every other meal. You should be able to tell the difference."
To be honest, Zhao Mu was really worried that Xia Ruoxi would use this trick, but the best holy item that could be used as an auxiliary in his hand was this kind of vile medicine, so he had to take it out.
Now, he can only use a combination of warnings and deception to stabilize the heroine.
"Who does Senior Brother Zhao think Ruoxi is? How could Ruoxi do such an outrageous thing? There's no need for drugs between you and me. When love is deep, things will fall into place naturally."
"So much the better."
Zhao Mu breathed a sigh of relief temporarily. In fact, he also understood that Xia Ruoxi would not do such a thing. Otherwise, she would have eaten him last night.
What's more, his strength is not as good as Xia Ruoxi's. If the latter really wants to force him, he can only struggle a few times, and the result will not change at all. Instead, it may make the heroine more excited.
After a while, the two of them quietly approached Huang Nishang.
Hiding in the broken cauldron, through the broken gap, one could just see Huang Nishang holding a compass in her hand and constantly changing directions.
"I don't know what she is looking for..."
"It's probably something extremely important. Keep watching."
"Ah."
Almost a quarter of an hour later, after twisting and turning several times and constantly changing positions, Huang Nishang finally stopped completely. Then, under the gaze of the two people, she retracted the compass, took forward only three or two steps, and suddenly disappeared.
"this...."
"It should be an illusion. Let's go and follow."
"you...."
"Brother Zhao, don't worry. Ruoxi does have some attainments in formations."
Xia Ruoxi gave Zhao Mu a reassurance, and he didn't say anything more. He just followed the heroine.
A broken cauldron flew across the boundless desert, and when it reached a certain point, it suddenly disappeared.
"Fuck, what a hell of a place."
As soon as he entered the formation, Zhao Mu discovered that Xia Ruoxi had lost control of the cauldron. To be precise, this place completely suppressed spiritual power, making it impossible for people to use their cultivation.
What was even more frightening was that on the other side of the formation, there was a cliff, and the cauldron was falling freely.
"Oh no! If the Dantian spiritual power is sealed, I won't be able to activate the cauldron."
"Prepare to fight her. We have no other choice now. Moreover, if the spiritual power ban here treats everyone equally, it will be more beneficial to us."
A gleam of light flashed in Zhao Mu's eyes. He was a practitioner of both spiritual and physical cultivation. Even though he had lost his spiritual power, he still had a strong physical body. He felt that he could give a sixth-level phoenix who was unable to use spiritual power a try.
"Ah."
Xia Ruoxi also knew about Zhao Mu's body training, and immediately huddled into his arms, "Senior Brother Zhao, you won't refuse this, will you?"
"As long as you don't push it any further."
Zhao Mu rolled his eyes. He didn't know how deep this place was. Without spiritual power to protect her body, Xia Ruoxi might really be seriously injured. This method was the wisest choice, and he naturally would not refuse.
The cliff was not as deep as imagined. In less than half a minute, the two fell straight to the bottom of the cliff.
However, the scene was not as tragic as they expected. The impact was not strong, as if there was a natural buffer.
After putting away the cauldron, the two men dusted off the dust on their bodies and looked around.
This is an underground palace, no, to be more precise, it is a group of underground palaces.
The place where they were at the moment was a huge square. Every few meters around it, there was a strange stone floating in the air, emitting light and illuminating the entire space.
Looking around, the magnificent palace complex is shocking.
However, compared to the palace complex, what is more shocking is the situation here. The palace complex is somewhat dilapidated, as if it had suffered a devastating blow.
There were obvious signs of fighting in the square, and there were also many corpses. The bones were crystal clear and immortal after countless years. They were definitely masters. The worst ones were probably in the realm of life and death.
"What on earth happened here? How could so many top masters die?"
Xia Ruoxi's beautiful eyes narrowed slightly.
"Perhaps the Divine Phoenix Ridge Secret Realm was invaded by a powerful enemy and a great war broke out. The Phoenix Clan also abandoned this small world because of that battle."
Zhao Mu deduced.
"Since so many high-ranking cultivators have died here, it must be an extremely important place. Perhaps there are heaven-defying opportunities within. Senior Brother Zhao, can you still locate the Phoenix Girl?"
"can."
Zhao Mu nodded, "She went in and is moving deeper, wait..."
"what happened?"
"We can't continue exploring. There might be some kind of formation deep within the palace complex."
"Let's just go in."
"it is good."
Zhao Mu nodded. He would not interfere with the heroine's decision and just had to be obedient.
