Volume 3: A drop in the ocean Chapter 05 Returning Alone to the Underworld
According to Mo Yi's instructions, Ying Lili tried hard to recall the witchcraft spells that Yao Ji had used in the long dream before. After thinking for a while, he had no impression of any spell that could allow instant movement or travel through time and space.
I have tried my best.
Helplessly, Mo Yi sighed silently again and decided to try Zhuo Wei's idea. Although he was not sure whether it would succeed, it seemed that he had no choice but to give it a try.
"Think about it again. I'll be back soon." Mo Yi carefully explained something to Ying Lili and then slipped out, leaving Ying Lili alone in the room to ponder.
It was unknown how long it had passed before Mo Yi came back with a few more things in his hands. Ping Lili looked carefully and found that she had no idea where Mo Yi had caught these strange-looking black and white spotted butterflies from. Although the butterflies were mainly black and white, they had a pair of emerald green patterns on their wings that looked like human eyes. They looked quite strange, and Ping Lili could feel that the aura on them made her feel extremely familiar.
Just when he was about to touch them with his hands, Mo Yi separated them calmly. Then he saw Mo Yi use the spiritual energy of his fingertips to draw a pentagram barrier on the ground. Without hesitation, he used his spiritual power column to nail those black and white striped butterflies with a bit of spiritual energy to the five corners of the pentagram. As if he could see the reluctance in Ying Lili's heart, he explained slowly: "These are the nether butterflies of your Shamo clan. They have very strong spiritual power. They can freely travel through the virtual world and the real world, so it is best to use them as guides for the return trip."
Ping Lili looked at the creature with the same origin as Yao Ji in surprise, and she felt a little more pity in her heart. However, Mo Yi ignored her and pulled her into the pentagram-shaped barrier. Then, he pursed his lips and issued the final instruction, "Bite your finger and drip the blood onto the Nether Butterfly."
Ping Lili glanced at him resentfully, not knowing whether she was blaming him for his lack of sympathy for her or for his cold-blooded order. When her eyes met Mo Yi's clear and determined black eyes, she finally admitted defeat because she knew she had no say at this moment.
According to the direction and order he said, he dripped his blood one by one on the wings of the Nether Butterflies that were nailed around the barrier by Mo Yi. Then, as the emerald green eye-shaped patterns on the wings of the Nether Butterflies became brighter and darker, a strange dark green light quickly swept over Mo Yi and Yao Ji who were standing in the center of the pentagram. Then, they found that they were surrounded by a dark green ball of light. Around the ball of light, there were several transparent Nether Butterflies standing like stars. Then, in an instant, Pinglili's consciousness was taken away by the intense feeling of tearing and pain.
Ah! Ah! Ah! It hurts! It hurts, it hurts, it hurts!
He felt as if all his limbs were being pulled, broken, and torn apart. The intense pain made him feel like he was about to go crazy and collapse.
Where is this?
Where is Mo Yi? Where is Mo Yi?
Ping Lili looked around nervously, but did not find the familiar figure. The scene in front of her stunned her instantly! She moved her arms and pinched her cheeks, and found that she was not dreaming. Then she realized that she seemed to have really traveled to the virtual world.
However, in novels, other people's time traveling through time was glorious and grand, but when it was her turn, why was she so embarrassed? At this moment, Ying Lili was lying on a pile of rocks in an awkward position. She struggled for a long time before she managed to sit up. The sound of rushing water in her ears reminded her that she seemed to have landed in a remote stream.
The rushing stream and the rocks collided with each other, making a sound like iron horses and golden swords, and all around, there were rocks and reefs, jagged and sharp as swords. Looking up, my eyes were blank, with only bare cliffs towering into the clouds.
Where is this? Why does it feel so familiar?
Ping Lili vaguely felt that she seemed to have been here before, or rather, in her memory, she seemed to be extremely familiar with this place.
Death Creek? A strange yet familiar name suddenly popped into Ying Lili's mind, causing her face to turn pale in an instant.
Isn't this the Death Creek outside Yonghui City? It was the location of the first stage of the Yonghui competition five hundred years ago, the place that appeared in my dream!
Oh, by the way, this is also the place where Yao Ji first met Mo Yi.
Ping Lili sat down on the boulder like a deflated and seemed to understand why she was here in an instant. Those Nether Butterflies really understood their former master Yao Ji, and sent her here, probably because they were attracted by Yao Ji's power.
Where is Mo Yi? Has he also returned to the Void Realm?
He looked around again, but found nothing except the rushing water and the surrounding rocks and cliffs. Not to mention human figures, there was not even a ghost. A bad premonition suddenly arose in Ping Lili's heart. Could it be that the Netherworld Butterfly only brought himself here, but left Mo Yi in the world?
What should she do? If it weren't for Mo Yi, she would not be able to leave this barren place, let alone go to Shamo City. She didn't even know which direction Shamo City was.
At this moment, Ping Lili finally realized how naive and ridiculous her previous thoughts were. She had always thought everything was too simple, which was why was so helpless at this moment and here.
Or maybe it was because she had Mo Yi by her side before, and everything seemed to be arranged so well by him, and everything seemed to be under his control, so she felt at ease and put aside the uncertain future and the dangers of the Xu Ming world, and just relied on her enthusiasm to clamor to return to the Xu Ming world. Now she realized how immature and childish she was.
Could it be that if you, Peng Lili, leave Mo Yi, you will really achieve nothing?
She felt much more at ease. Since she had come here, she should make the best of it. Since this was the path she had chosen, there was nothing to regret! Even if this virtual world was a den of tigers and dragons, she would still explore it.
Even though, now she is the only one.
For some reason, after waking up from the big dream, a sense of heroism suddenly appeared in Ping Lili's heart. Perhaps, although she was unwilling to admit it, she still had the same blood as Yao Ji in her bones, and was equally free and easy, stubborn, and strong!
Ping Lili struggled to stand up on the boulder, looked at the bare cliffs on both sides that towered into the sky, and thought about how to get up. Now that he knew he was in the suburbs of Yonghui City, he could only think of a way to return to Yonghui City first and then make plans.
Thinking so, she jumped off the boulder and staggered towards the shore along the rocks in the stream. Many ridiculous thoughts flashed through her mind, but she didn't pay attention to her feet. Suddenly, her feet slipped and she staggered a few steps and fell into the water. Fortunately, she was almost close to the shore, so the water was not deep. However, she felt a chill under her body and half of her body fell into the water. Then she heard a clang behind her. Something seemed to fall out of her body and landed among the rubble behind her.
Ping Lili turned around to see what the object was, and was stunned when she saw it clearly. It was clearly a short blade that fell into the stream. Although the short blade was now covered with an ancient scabbard, she recognized it at a glance. It was the cold iron short blade that the man never let go of.
Some memories are so clear in her mind, even though they may not belong to her.
This short black iron blade had been used as a supreme weapon countless times in his hands, and she remembered it clearly. However, now it was right in front of her. She lowered her head and pondered, then reached out to touch her wet jeans pocket. She understood a little, but also felt a little confused. Although she knew his intention, she didn't know when he had quietly put it in.
She quickly picked up the short blade and held it in her hand as if it were a treasure. Her fingertips gently stroked the equally ancient dragon pattern that was faintly visible on the scabbard. She smiled unconsciously, and the faint dimple on her cheek was now faintly visible.
He could not let her go after all, so could she still have some more expectations?
But before Ping Lili could indulge in his own little joy, the faint laughter of a woman coming from behind him made Ping Lili subconsciously stand up suddenly, short blade in hand, and look behind him vigilantly.
Several white dots that looked like human figures gradually came closer and closer, drifting slowly from the upstream to the downstream. It would be more accurate to say that they swam rather than drifted...
Although this place is called Jueming Creek, the water is not shallow and the surface of the stream is quite wide. Although it is not as wide as the ocean, it is far less wide than an ordinary creek. Just look at the huge rock where Gong Lili was standing before. Although it is close to the shore, it still takes more than ten steps to reach the shallow water.
Moreover, the water here is fast-flowing and there are many rocks. It is not easy to swim and play here. However, the person who comes here has a very agile figure, floating shallowly, lightly and nimbly, as if he is an elf in the water.
Before Ying Lili could react, those people had already swam to the deep water not far away. Seeing Ying Lili, a single woman standing in the water in such an embarrassed manner, it seemed that they were also stunned. They just looked at her straight without saying a word.
Tail.
The Ruoye tribe...
These three words appeared clearly in Pinglili's mind, but he didn't understand why he met a woman from the Ruoye tribe here, outside Yonghui City, in broad daylight.
Shouldn't they all stay on the coast of the South China Sea?
