Chapter 220 That night, I heard

"I didn't miss anything you should touch or see, so just give up."

Lu Xueqi didn't know whether she was angry or embarrassed. She choked and coughed, and her hands went limp and fell down, and she fainted again.

After Murong Ji helped Lu Xueqi put on her clothes, he turned over and carried her on his back.

He took out a jade bead from his package, came to the cliff of the Dead Abyss, and hit the jade bead in his hand into the stone wall.

Then he carved another formation to provide energy, which was also hidden.

He took out a palm-sized copper plate from his bosom, injected true Qi into it, and checked whether it could function normally.

The pointer on the disc pointed to the place where the jade beads were placed on the cliff, and then it was put away.

He has been studying the Zhu Xian World version of the compass for a long time.

I counted the number of jade beads in the bag. As long as I placed a jade bead at a certain distance, I would not get lost.

Looking up, there was still endless darkness above my head.

Murong Ji frowned slightly. Lu Xueqi behind him was seriously injured. It would be a burden to bring her up with him. Should he send her up? After thinking about it, he decided not to. If he came down again after going up, he would not have so many opportunities.

Qi Hao is leading the team this time. He is responsible for the lives of the four people, so naturally he will not allow him to explore the Undead Abyss.

What's more, who else's medical skills could compare to Murong Ji's? With Lu Xueqi by his side, she would recover faster.

【By the way, let’s cultivate some feelings. 】

He flew up on his sword and headed into the endless darkness.

In the Undead Abyss, it is pitch dark.

It was not until this moment that he understood what danger his master was talking about. The Undead Abyss was too vast, and looking back, there was endless darkness.

He glanced around, there was no way forward, no way back, after a long time, it was really hard to tell the direction. In fact, it didn't take long, Murong Ji couldn't tell the direction now.

Another danger is torture. It is really easy to collapse here.

Not long after, Murong Ji couldn't bear it anymore and took out the materials on his body. The materials for refining the Dao Banner could not be touched, as it was related to his future path.

All that remains is the preparations to be made before coming to the Wanfu Ancient Cave.

Select materials and refine a lighting device. This thing looks a bit like a scepter, with a luminous device on the top.

This was made by Murong Ji imitating the light bulb in his first life. It is covered with an outer shell and is a very realistic glowing jade bead.

Holding the "scepter" high, you can see everything within two or three miles around clearly.

Murong Ji flew his sword in the air searching for signs of human activities.

It was strange that there were mountains and rivers in the Dead Abyss, and the area was not small. In some places, Murong Ji even found large areas of withered and rotten houses.

It was as if there were once a large number of humans living here.

There is no way he could be a member of the Demonic Cult. No matter how big the Demonic Cult is, it wouldn't be that huge.

For some reason, Murong Ji had a feeling that this world seemed to be covered by another continent.

For unknown reasons, this Undead Abyss was formed.

Here, there is no day or night, and no way to tell time.

He didn't know how long Lu Xueqi had slept, nor did he know when Lu Xueqi woke up.

After Lu Xueqi woke up, she was very silent, although she didn't like to talk in the first place.

"Gululu."

Murong Ji was startled, and touched his stomach. He was not hungry, "Gurgle."

He heard his stomach growling from behind him, and Murong Ji then remembered that he was carrying a living person on his back.

"Xueqi, why didn't you tell me you woke up?"

"Humph!"

Murong Ji suddenly smiled, and she hummed coquettishly, but perhaps she didn't even notice it herself.

It fell rapidly downwards and landed in a dry forest.

When chopping the branches, they found that these trees had been in a dark environment for many years and had mutated long ago. After who knows how many years, they have become spiritual materials with good quality.

They built a fire, heated the water and dry food, and then passed them over.

Lu Xueqi took it in silence and ate it in small bites. She couldn't make any big movements now, as it would hurt her wound.

There was no conversation between the two, but Murong Ji, who was sitting next to her, could feel her emotions.

It's not the kind of expression of dissatisfaction by "turning your face away", but the kind of expression or aura from which you can feel that Lu Xueqi is angry, but not really angry.

Being shy and at a loss, he could only respond in silence. Murong Ji could understand this kind of uneasy and tangled emotion, and it felt very strange.

He somewhat understood Lu Xueqi's complicated feelings. She just didn't know how to face himself after being seen naked by him.

He picked up a piece of dry food and stuffed it into her hand. Then Murong Ji sat down a little closer to her, casually testing her safe distance.

Seeing that she didn't react much, he sat beside her and looked at her with a smile. Anyway, he didn't suffer any loss. In that situation, he must save his life first and treat the injury first. How could he care about the difference between men and women?
Of course, in the current situation, as a man, you must be thick-skinned enough.

However, Lu Xueqi is really good-looking. Her beauty lies in the bones, not in the skin. Her face shape determines her beauty.

"Why are you staring at me!" Lu Xueqi couldn't help it anymore and scolded softly.

"I want to see you eat, otherwise what should I look at?" Murong Ji took a bite of dry food and said with a smile: "I want to see what the girl who was saved by me and wants to marry me looks like."

"You!" Lu Xueqi was furious. She was really shocked by his shameless look.

She turned around, turned her back to him, and sulked.

Murong Ji smiled. The woman's strange thoughts made people curious and puzzled.

After a good rest, the two set out on their journey again.

This time, Lu Xueqi refused to let him carry her on his back. Her feet could not walk, so she sat sideways on the Tianya sword and followed Murong Ji on the sword.

Murong Ji glanced at her and raised his eyebrows slightly.

The woman seemed to be born with a fear of darkness. She carefully looked at Lu Xueqi's expression in the light.

Nothing could be seen on that cold face.

He silently changed his left hand to hold the light source, then paid attention to Lu Xueqi's reaction, and saw her quietly move to the left.

Yu Jian followed closely behind him, very close to Murong Ji, as if he wanted to cover his entire body in light.

Lu Xueqi's face was a little pale, which made her look even more sad and beautiful.

Murong Ji was holding the light source in his right hand, and Lu Xueqi quietly switched to the right side.

After a few rounds, Lu Xueqi frowned, and then she realized that Murong Ji was teasing her, and scolded: "Are you free?!"

Murong Ji smiled, and suddenly reached out and held her delicate hand.

Lu Xueqi tried to pull it out several times but failed, so she gave up.

Murong Ji slightly raised the corner of his mouth and gently squeezed her hand. The coolness from her hand made Murong Ji sober up a little.

"scared?"

"I do not have……"

Murong Ji laughed out loud, saying one thing but thinking another, as if it was a woman's gift. He handed her the scepter in his hand. With the light source in hand, Lu Xueqi slowly exhaled secretly.

"Let me carry you on my back. If we encounter any emergency, we will have the time and energy to deal with it." Murong Ji's words made Lu Xueqi hesitate for a moment, then she nodded and lay on Murong Ji's back.

The two of them didn't know how long they had been wandering in this dark abyss of the dead. It was so huge, as if it was another world.

Murong Ji buried the jade beads in the ground, then set up a small formation and continued moving forward.

Suddenly, Lu Xueqi asked a question, "If you had just woken up from a long sleep, who would be the first person you want to see?"

Murong Ji was startled. Such a literary young man? He asked, "Who does Junior Sister want to see?"

Lu Xueqi did not reply, but looked towards the darkness in the distance with some emotion.

Murong Ji had no idea what she was sighing about, and seeing that she remained silent, he said, "Whether Xueqi believes it or not, the first person I want to see is you."

"When I saw you before, I just thought you were beautiful and talented. You would achieve great things in the future and would be able to accompany me for a long time. I planned to take you as my Taoist partner."

"After seeing your body, Xueqi, I realized that if I let you go, I would never be able to get over it. It's better for you to be my wife. If you become my wife, I can see you every day."

He could feel that Lu Xueqi had a faint sadness lingering in her heart at this moment, and Murong Ji didn't know what she was worried about.

"Hmph! Who would like you!" Lu Xueqi snorted coldly, feeling her face getting hot and her heart pounding.

At this moment, I wanted to escape from here and didn't want to expose my ugly appearance in front of him.

"My mother said that there are three steps to wooing a girl. The first step is to be shameless. The second step is to persist. The third step is to persist in being shameless."

Lu Xueqi's breathing stagnated. She couldn't explain the feeling in her heart, which just seemed a little absurd.

He lowered his head, watching Murong Ji setting up the formation, and suddenly said: "That night, I heard..."

Murong Ji: "Ah? Which night?"

Suddenly she remembered that night when her mother was selling her experience to her, she thought of Lu Xueqi standing outside and hearing it clearly, and she slapped herself in the face, feeling ashamed.

Lu Xueqi didn't continue talking, but looked ahead quietly. There was only darkness...

"call!"

A moist and humid breath hits me in the face.

Murong Ji and Lu Xueqi were both stunned, and a word emerged in their minds: water!
Without saying a word, he packed up his things and headed in that direction.

The speed was not slow, and when it stopped, it was already standing on the beach.

The cool water vapor was all over the surface, which felt very comfortable. Murong Ji stretched lazily, then scooped up a handful of water and sniffed it. It was fresh water!
Who would have thought that beneath the Dead Abyss, there was an endless freshwater lake.

Murong Ji didn't know how big this place was, but he knew where it was. "This is the Merciless Sea!"
