Chapter 208 Plot 84 Arriving in a Strange Territory
Old Man Qing's heart sank at Hong Shuang's cold, mocking words. He strained his strength to turn his head slightly, his neck joints crackling like rusty gears struggling to turn. Finally, in the dim light, he could clearly see the face of the person who had come. It was Hong Shuang.
In an instant, Old Man Qing's heart, which had been hanging high, suddenly fell, as if a heavy burden had been lifted. After all, it was someone he knew, he thought to himself, and his tense nerves relaxed a little. "It's you, Miss Hongshuang." Old Man Qing's voice trembled, with a mixture of relief at having survived the disaster, and a hint of flattery and joy.
His cracked lips trembled slightly as he tried to force out a slightly flattering smile, but due to excessive nervousness, the smile looked uglier than crying.
Upon hearing this, Hongshuang's brows instantly twisted into the shape of a "川" character, and her eyes were as cold as the frost in December. She swept coldly towards Old Man Qing, her tone full of displeasure: "When have we met? Do you think I will let you go by trying to get close to me like this?" After saying this, her eyes suddenly became more angry, and her gaze was like a real sharp blade, piercing straight at Old Man Qing, making him feel like he was falling into an ice cellar.
66 hid to the side, its small body trembling like a candle in the wind. It stole a glance at Hong Shuang, and the oppressive look in her eyes frightened it so much that it quickly lowered its head and pawed at the ground nervously.
66 knew in his heart that his ability was nothing in front of this woman, just like an ant facing a dragon. As the saying goes, if you can't beat them, you have to admit defeat.
It stuck tightly to the ground, wishing it could hide itself in the soil, just hoping that this lady would show mercy and let it go.
When Old Man Qing sensed Hong Shuang's rage burning like a raging fire, his heart suddenly sank, and a chill ran up from the soles of his feet to his heart.
At this critical moment, he was eager to save the situation. His throat was so dry that he couldn't make a sound. He could only swallow hard to moisten his throat, then he began to explain: "Miss Hongshuang, you misunderstood, I do know you. I have seen you before... in that mermaid territory. You were so graceful then, like the brightest star in the night sky, and I remembered you at first sight. It's just that I was trapped and dizzy just now, and I was panicked. In my anxiety, I lost my way in addressing you. Please be magnanimous and don't take it to heart." As the old man Qing spoke, his voice trembling slightly with nervousness, while secretly observing Hongshuang's expression.
Upon hearing this, Hong Shuang's lips curled into a cold smile, a smile that was icy and piercing. Her eyes, like two razor-sharp ice knives, shot straight at Old Man Qing, as if to see through him. "Hmph, I remember there were no old people in there." Her voice was as cold as ice, echoing in the silent space, making people shudder.
With that, she slowly walked forward, her steps steady and slow. With each movement, spiritual energy in her hands instantly gathered, transforming into a sword emitting a faint glow. The blade flashed with a cold light, as if telling of the coming slaughter. Her eyes were filled with murderous intent, and she was about to kill the two ignorant men in front of her.
At this critical moment, a low roar suddenly came from the distance. Hongshuang frowned instantly and looked vigilantly in the direction where the sound came from, which was exactly where she was going.
Old Man Qing and 66 were also startled by the sudden sound. 66's little body trembled violently and he almost jumped up. His eyes, which were already filled with fear, opened even wider, like two round black gems.
Old Man Qing shuddered, his already tense nerves now straining to the limit. They took the opportunity to secretly glance at each other, and the moment their eyes met, they both saw a hint of doubt and uneasiness in each other's eyes.
"Looks like this place is closing down," Hong Shuang muttered to herself, her voice low and solemn. She glanced at Old Man Qing and 66, thinking to herself that if she continued to tangle with them now, once this place closed, she would have no chance of leaving.
After weighing the pros and cons, a trace of unwillingness flashed across her face, and then she snorted coldly: "You are lucky today." After that, her figure flashed, turned into a shadow, and rushed towards the direction where the roar came from.
Old Man Qing and 66 stared at the direction where Hong Shuang had disappeared, as if under a spell of immobilization. It took a long time for them to recover. The air around them seemed frozen, the silence eerily still.
It was a long time before Old Man Qing came back to his senses. However, before he could breathe a sigh of relief, he discovered that the barriers around him did not disappear with Hong Shuang's departure, but seemed to be getting closer.
The old man's eyes dimmed instantly, and all the light of hope was extinguished by this cruel reality. He sighed deeply, and that breath seemed to carry the exhaustion and despair of his life.
He slowly closed his eyes, waiting for death to come. At this moment, he had completely given up struggling.
But just when Old Man Qing was ready to die, the originally indestructible and approaching barrier suddenly disappeared without any warning.
Old Man Qing only felt a powerful force attacking him from behind. Before he could react, he was pushed by the force and flew out like an arrow.
66 was not spared either. It was originally huddled in the corner, but was also swept up by this mysterious force and kicked out together with Old Man Qing.
It waved its little paws frantically in the air and let out a terrified cry.
After an unknown amount of time, Old Man Qing landed heavily on an unfamiliar piece of land. He felt as if all the bones in his body were falling apart, and the pain was unbearable.
Sitting down on the ground, he gasped for breath. The joy of surviving the disaster and the physical exhaustion intertwined together, almost making him collapse to the ground.
After a long while, Old Man Qing tremblingly took out an ancient medicine bottle from his arms, poured out a few pills, and stuffed them into his mouth.
The pill melted in his mouth, turning into a warm current that slowly flowed through his meridians and began to repair his damaged body.
As the medicinal power of the pill gradually took effect, his face gradually regained some color and his breathing was no longer so rapid.
Old Man Qing began to carefully examine his surroundings. He found that the area was shrouded in mist, a thick fog that spread like a veil, shrouding everything in a hazy haze.
Looking up, he was even more shocked by the sight of the sky. It was divided by an invisible boundary into a bright and dark area. The bright side was sunny, with a few white clouds floating in the blue sky. The dark side, on the other hand, was covered with dark clouds. The dark clouds seemed to be pressing down at any moment, with lightning and thunder, and bolts of lightning piercing through the clouds like silver snakes. This strange and bizarre scene made Old Man Qing's scalp tingle.
"Where are we?" Old Man Qing took a deep breath and muttered to himself in confusion.
