Chapter 129: Long Wen Worry-Free

  The three people and the beast's figures slipped into the water, stirring up a layer of ripples. The intact moon shadow in the water was shattered, and it slowly reassembled itself, swaying gently.

  "Shasha"

  The footsteps by the lake appeared suddenly.

  Two figures hid in the shadows of the trees, their silhouettes unclear. Under the moonlight, it was barely possible to make out that they were a man and a woman, both young. The gaze of the two under the moonlight was equally sharp, staring at the spot on the lake where the three people had just entered the water.

  No one knows how long these two have been here.

  "Is it him?" The woman spoke up, her voice soft and lazy.

  "Yes, it won't be wrong." The man's voice was full of certainty.

  "Finally found it..." The woman said with a stretch, her beautiful curves under the moonlight were like the most beautiful scenery.

  "Uh-huh." The man nodded, clenched his fist in the darkness, and narrowed his eyes slightly, with a hint of fear in his gaze.

  The woman looked at him with a glance, and her eyes showed some disdain: "Where did this cowardice come from? Could it be that Chen Ming, the seventh in the ranking, is still afraid of a guy who hasn't even entered the ranking?"

  Chen Ming detected the woman's tone of disdain, but he didn't show any irritation. He simply shook his head gently and his eyes became somewhat profound.

  The woman was right, Chen Ming was indeed afraid of that person, the one who had caused a big stir in the organization a year ago!

  Female codename Leng Hong, ranked eighth in the territory, is close to him. Both of them are under Xuan Ye Men. However, a year ago, Leng Hong happened to be on an external mission and had no impression of Yang Yu Xi. By the time she returned to the Dusk Organization, Yang Yu Xi had already been expelled by Zhong San, who also issued a gag order, prohibiting anyone from discussing what happened a year ago. Naturally, Yang Yu Xi's name was not allowed to be mentioned either. So Leng Hong has no impression of Yang Yu Xi and naturally wouldn't understand the fear in Chen Ming's eyes.

  Chen Ming knew that Yang Yu Xi was originally on a par with Nan Gong Zang Jie and Luo Xuan, calling each other brothers. Now, Nan Gong Zang Jie and Luo Xuan were at the forefront of their field, far surpassing Chen Ming in strength. To be able to call these two men brothers, Chen Ming didn't dare to underestimate them in the slightest.

  "Be careful, even if it's Lan Ran who comes, I'm not sure he can beat that guy." Chen Ming looked at the scattered Hong Leng and couldn't help but remind him.

  "Huh?" Leng Hong was taken aback, looking at Chen Ming with a suspicious gaze. Chen Ming's face was tense, not looking like he was joking at all.

  Leng Hong's heart was slightly reined in, she didn't know Yang Yu Xi, but as for the current Rong Lan who was quietly rising to the first treasure seat of the land boundary, it was impossible for her not to be familiar with him. Leng Hong even felt that among people of the same age, no one could defeat Rong Lan, not even Ling Fei Yan Luo Xuan, but Chen Ming said that Yang Yu Xi was actually able to resist Rong Lan, really?

  Leng Hong gazed at the lake again: "If that's really the case, why did Master Xuan Ye send us two to kill him, when there was no hope from the start."

  Chen Ming smiled wryly: "I reckon Teacher Xuan Ye himself has underestimated Yu Xi's strength."

  Leng Hong furrowed her brow, somewhat displeased: "Chen Ming, you're at least the seventh in the land boundary, how could you say something like that? How could Master Xuan Ye possibly underestimate the enemy's strength? She sent us here, of course it means we can complete the task. Don't say things like that again, if you're afraid, I'll go alone." By the end, Leng Hong's tone was stern and cold, no longer paying attention to Chen Ming, her slender figure disappearing into the darkness of night.

  "This... Alas, at that time, Master Xuan Ye wasn't in the organization either, and she hadn't seen any idiot like him..." Chen Ming shook his head and sighed, and before he finished speaking, his figure had already disappeared.

  ……………………………

  "Hey, are you sure we're not lost? We've been walking for so long and still haven't arrived? Hey, hey, hey, wait for me..." In the dark and blurry lake water, Yang Yuxi's eyes were wide open, staring intently at the Fire Kyrie in front of her, using both hands and feet to keep herself from being pulled down.

  The Fire Kylin in front stopped, and beside her was another person, Zhou Yu Xiao. Beside Zhou Yu Xiao were three pets that were also able to move freely in the water.

  Yang Yu Xi panted and puffed for a long time before arriving behind the two, opening up a true energy circle to support her legs as she breathed heavily.

  Hu Qi Ma looked at him with disdain: "Are you still a man? You swim so slowly, even slower than a dog!!"

  The black dog raised its head and looked at Huo Qi Ma with an expression of discontent, as if it was unhappy that she had compared Yang Yu Xi to itself. Then it turned its face and rubbed against Zhou Yu Xiao's clothes.

  Yang Yu Xi's face twitched with embarrassment, "I'm just a bit slow, but at least I didn't fall behind, that's already pretty good... don't expect too much... be content and happy!"

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ flipped her eyes, put her hands on her hips and scolded loudly: "You're not lagging behind! But this is already the 21st time you've made us stop and wait for you! I'm starting to think it was a mistake bringing you down here!!"

  Zhou Yu Xiao stood quietly by, smiling at Yang Yu Xi, but her smile was inscrutable.

  Yang Yu Xi was scolded by Hu Qi Ma without any reserve, and still in front of Zhou Yu Xiao, suddenly felt embarrassed, and shouted: "You're blaming me?! This lake can be so deep? We've been diving for so long and haven't reached the bottom yet! You must have taken a wrong turn, or you're intentionally messing with me! Right, you're intentionally messing with me, it must be like that!!"

  Hu Qi Ma did not respond.

  Yang Yu Xi thought Huo Qi Ma was speechless after being lectured by her, and was about to proudly smile, but when she lifted her head, she found that both Huo Qi Ma and Zhou Yu Xiao had furrowed brows.

  "What's wrong?"

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ opened his mouth, his tone no longer violent, but somewhat solemn and puzzled: "You're right, this lake shouldn't be that deep."

  "Hmm, and then?" Yang Yu Xi nodded.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ glared at him and said irritably, "Do you think I would really lead us astray? This path that leads directly to the bottom of the lake is the result of my research for a whole year, how could it be wrong?"

  "Uh, you mean......" Yang Yu Xi also put away her playful expression, feeling that something was off.

  Zhou Yuxiao, who had been silent all along, spoke up. Her soft voice was like a ribbon in the water: "Be careful, I think we've reached our destination."

  "Are we there? Here?! It's all dark and there's nothing!" Yang Yu Xi looked around, spreading her hands.

  Huǒ Qí Mǎ also looked at Zhōu Yǔ Xiāo.

  Zhou Yu's beautiful face was unclear in the water, but her voice still floated out: "We have not only arrived at our destination, but also triggered the mechanism."

  As soon as this was said, Yang Yuxi and Huo Qima's faces changed.

  Yang Yu Xi plopped down on her butt and spread out her hands: "What's the matter, I was already so careful, but still got cheated so easily."

  Hu Qiema's mouth twitched, pointing at Yang Yuxi and scolding: "You still have the nerve to chatter on, it was you who shouted loudly, if not for you, how could they have been so easily calculated!!"

  "How did I yell loudly?!" Yang Yu Xi didn't show weakness and retorted back.

  ……

  Zhou Yuxiao ignored the two quarreling people, propped up her chin and started thinking rapidly.

  If it's true what you say, that your kind has fallen into a trap, then the first thing to figure out is what this trap does.

  This is simple, the obvious function of the trap is to prevent oneself and others from reaching the location of the secret.

  So how does it stop itself?

  Judging from the current situation, it should be using this endless distance to achieve the purpose of blocking.

  According to Zhou Yuxiao's knowledge, there are only two ways to achieve this effect.

  The first is illusion, which makes people fall into a virtual world and achieve certain effects according to the caster's intention.

  The second is formation, some strange and confusing large formations can achieve this effect.

  Which one is it? Only by figuring out which one it is can we think of a way to crack it.

  Zhou Yu Xiao looked around, all she saw was the dark sea water, of course, there were also two people arguing loudly, plus three bored pets, nothing else could be seen.

  Zhou Yu Xiao slightly furrowed her brow, the natural environment here had hidden this illusion or formation to the greatest extent, and for a while, she couldn't see it clearly.

  Zhou Yu Xiao waved her hand, and the black dog suddenly stood up and ran to Zhou Yu Xiao's face, sticking out its tongue to please her. The white cat that was originally lying on the black dog's back fell off, meowing in dissatisfaction. The gray mouse tightly grasped the black dog's tail and didn't fall off.

  Zhou Yu Xiao squatted down, laughing and patted the black dog's head. The black dog narrowed its eyes in pleasure, wagging its tail back and forth, while the grey mouse on top felt a bit dizzy.

  Zhou Yu Xiao suddenly spoke, and a passage of inexplicable text flowed from her mouth. A faint golden light seeped out of her body, setting off her voice which was full of majesty, as if it were the tolling of an ancient temple bell in the depths of a mountain, or the chanting of a goddess reciting sacred texts.

  Divine words were golden characters, spat out from Zhou Yu's mouth, falling into the ears of a black dog. The black dog suddenly stood up straight, and its two dim eyes instantly became spirited. Its two black ears jumped from time to time.

  Yang Yu Xi and Hu Qi Ma stopped arguing and cast surprised glances at each other.

  Yang Yu Xi's gaze was simply out of curiosity, Zhou Yu Xiao transmitted the characters he couldn't understand at all, but the spiritual power in his body became lively and agile, rotating even faster, and his entire state was surprisingly much better.

  Huǒ Qímǎ's gaze was no longer curious, she was from an ancient family and knew much more about the ancient things than Yang Yùxī. As soon as Zhōu Yǔxiāo opened her mouth, Huǒ Qímǎ sensed something unusual. At this moment, seeing the mysterious characters floating in the sky and the anomalies within her body, a message from the ancient secrets suddenly struck Huǒ Qímǎ's mind, and her eyes immediately filled with horror.

  "What's Yuexi thinking about, it's so strange." Yang Youxi scratched his head and asked Huojimama, who was warm all over, making him feel extremely comfortable.

  Hu Qiema's eyes stared incredulously at the gentle and quiet woman, her voice trembling: "That is... Dragon, Long Wen! Yu Xiao, Yu Xiao is the successor of the dragon!".
