Chapter 156: Mist
Chapter 156: Mist
"Teacher! What should we do now? We seem to be lost!"
Ye Qi stood in the fog and looked around. The sun in the sky was also blocked by the white fog. He could not tell the current direction at all. He only knew that the sky was getting darker and it would soon be completely dark. If he could not leave this illusion before then, he would have to face a night with no idea what accidents might happen!
"I have no choice but to adapt. Since we are trapped here, there must be other people here. No one knows what will happen at night. Let's find other people first. There is safety in numbers!"
They walked blindly in the misty forest for a long time, until night fell, and there was no sign of other people. Just when the forest was about to fall into complete darkness, Mu Qingyao on the back of the unicorn gradually woke up. However, no one noticed that under the cover of the night, there was no white in her pupils, only deep darkness!
"Do you feel anything strange in your body?"
Mu Qingyao shook her head in a daze, but her spirit was not as strong as before. With her cold personality, she could actually appear confused.
Ye Qi reached out and grasped Mu Qingyao's wrist, feeling the undead aura within her body that even he found difficult to resist. He was deeply shocked. After pondering for a moment, he said truthfully, "The bug has completely taken up residence in your body. The only way to save you now is to completely refine your body into an undead body. However, this method is extremely dangerous. You..."
"Don't worry, this is my own choice. Even if I die, it has nothing to do with you!"
Mu Qingyao heard the guilt in Ye Qi's words. With her cold personality, she disdains to have any relationship with a strange man. A deal is a deal. Even if she has to sacrifice her life to save him, it is only because he is her only life-saving straw, nothing more!
"That was not what I meant……"
"In the extremely cold land of the Northern Wilderness, there is a rare wonder called the Frozen Heart. If our deal still counts, after the trial, accompany me to the Northern Wilderness. Regardless of life or death, I will give you what you want!" Mu Qingyao interrupted Ye Qi's meaningless nonsense and said bluntly.
If we only talk about the transaction, then some copper towers might be a treasure, but it is not enough for him to travel thousands of miles to the Northern Wilderness. This is not something that can be resolved in a day or two.
However, Ye Qi also knew that he owed her too much. She was a dying little girl who was willing to risk her life for this so-called deal. How could he, who always claimed to be a savior, weigh the pros and cons of this matter and decide whether to stay or go?
He immediately nodded to indicate that the deal was still valid, but when he responded, she had already turned around and took a step forward. Looking at her, it seemed that she was confident that he would not refuse her request. Even so, he could only make this decision for the time being!
"Miss Mu! Where are you going?" Ye Qi asked curiously when he saw her leading the way in front of him.
Mu Qingyao stopped and hesitated for a moment before asking, "Isn't the road ahead the one that leads to Tianxi Mountain? Aren't you going to Tianxi Mountain?"
"Can you see the road in this foggy place?"
"Can't you see?"
Mu Qingyao's rhetorical question completely shattered Ye Qi's self-esteem. This girl, who was of the same age as himself, was not only stronger than himself, but even her special ability made him envious. The illusion array that even the teacher was powerless to do anything about was useless in her eyes!
Just as the two continued to walk in relative silence on the forest path, the sound of fighting not far away suddenly caught Ye Qi's attention. The two figures ran over at high speed, and after getting closer, they hid in the mountains and forests, watching what was happening in front of them!
"I advise you to hand over the spirit fox, don't force me to take it away!"
"No!"
A very young and lively little girl's voice entered Ye Qi's ears, and a familiar figure instantly appeared in his mind. He exclaimed in a low voice: "Is it Yaya?"
"Yes! It's your girlfriend and her sister whom I met before!" Mu Qingyao responded softly without turning her head.
"No, you misunderstood, I have nothing to do with her!"
"I don't want to bother with your romantic affairs. First, decide whether to save them or not. It looks like they must have found some treasure, which is why they are being targeted!"
Ye Qi naturally couldn't see the specific situation and the battle situation. He only knew that after the fighting stopped, he heard the man threatening Yaya. However, according to Mu Qingyao's description, the situation didn't seem too bad, but it wasn't very good either!
"I can't see the direction clearly here, so I have to trouble Miss Mu!"
Mu Qingyao rolled her eyes at him, then disappeared from his side. The next time he noticed her presence, the bully's body was torn apart without even a scream.
Yaya was already a little shocked when she saw the woman who suddenly appeared and instantly killed the man who bullied her and her sister. Then, in the light of the campfire, she suddenly saw Mu Qingyao's deep black eyes after she turned around. She was frightened and shouted, "Ghost!"
"ghost?"
Mu Qingyao muttered to herself and touched her cheek. When her fingers touched her eyes, she found that her eyes were covered with cracks.
Although she has long since become indifferent to everything, she is still a little girl after all, and will not care about her appearance because of this tragic experience. From her exquisite daily dress, it can be seen that in these days when no one dares to approach her, she has spent a lot of time on her appearance and dresses, and she also uses it as a way to entertain herself!
After noticing her strange changes, Mu Qingyao turned around and ran away. She didn't want others to see her ugly appearance that was neither human nor ghost!
When Ye Qi saw Mu Qingyao coming back, he looked at her panicked expression and asked, "What's wrong with you?"
"Have you noticed the changes in my eyes a long time ago?"
"Change? What change?"
As Ye Qi spoke, he took out the amethyst and brought it close to her eyes. After a closer look, he was suddenly frightened by a pair of deep black eyes and the amethyst in his hand fell to the ground. It was pitch black in the middle of the night, and who wouldn't be scared when they suddenly saw a ghostly face?
"Why did your eyes become like this?"
"As expected, there is no power that comes for free. This is the price!"
"Is this a change caused by the dead silence? Looks like I need to fix your physical condition as soon as possible!"
Mu Qingyao felt warm in her heart when she saw that Ye Qi's first concern was not how to change his appearance, but was thinking about how to heal his body which was suffering from the increasingly serious backlash of death energy. At least he was not like those fickle men, which was not bad!
Then she tore off a piece of silk gauze from the hem of her skirt and covered her eyes with it. If she usually had an icy face and was inherently cold, then the silk gauze half covering her face at this moment had a hazy beauty that made people want to look at the eyes hidden by the gauze!
"Look at the time. If we travel tonight, we can reach Tianxi Mountain tomorrow morning. Let's hurry while it's still dark and quiet!"
