Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 150 Silent Catfish

Hearing Han Ruize's voice, Pei Nai remembered that Grandma Xun didn't say she couldn't talk, so she said calmly, "Something is pulling my hand."

Grandma Axun, who was at the front, heard her words and said, "It seems that we have encountered the most unfortunate situation. Don't let out fear, or you will become its prey. Just keep moving forward and don't stop."

"But this thing is pulling my hand, I can't leave." Pei Nai continued.

Grandma Xun was stunned for a moment, "How could it be?"

Just then, a scream of pain was heard from the end of the team.

"Don't touch me, what is that?! What is that? It's biting me!"

Along with a few wailing screams, the sound of weapons hitting the stone wall and the collision caused by resistance could be heard in the distance.

When the situation changes suddenly, misfortunes never come alone.

The rope in everyone's hand was cut by something, and they lost the guidance of Grandma Xun.

The monster next to Pei Nai trembled.

She could almost feel it against her ear.

We can’t wait any longer! Otherwise, the consequences will be disastrous.

Since she cannot see, she cannot use the Dingguang Compassion Palm. If she uses the Yunguang Water to hit others, it will cause harm to their friends.

Pei Nai threw away the rope with his left hand, quickly took out the dagger from his waist, and stabbed it towards the face of the thing.

The monster seemed to dodge backwards.

Her dagger was like hitting a patch of mud, causing no pain or ripples.

Her attack enraged the monster.

As a warrior, Pei Nai could clearly feel the change in killing intent.

At this moment, Gu Jinheng's pressure came, forcing the thing to lose its strength.

Han Ruize's short blade also chopped down accurately, seemingly cutting off half of the monster's body.

The monster fell into the evenly-lit water and kept struggling, causing a lot of the evenly-lit water to splash over.

Pei Nai's right hand had just escaped from the monster's grip, but was grabbed again.

She shuddered at first, then realized that this was a normal person's hand. But before she could open her mouth to ask, her other left hand holding the dagger was also grabbed by someone.

"Let's go!" Gu Jinheng said in front of her left.

Ah, who is holding her right hand?
There was chaos in the back, and although Pei Nai couldn't see anything, he could feel that more and more things were approaching them.

"Let's go, what are you standing there for?" Han Ruize patted her from behind.

So her hand was held by two people at the same time? "Ah, you guys..."

Just as she said a few words, Grandma Xun's voice rang out in the distance, "Come here! Run! Don't stop!!!"

At this critical moment of life and death, if you don't leave, you will be blocking the way for those behind you.

Pei Nai didn't dare to delay any longer, and ran forward with them in the chaos.

There seemed to be a few monsters blocking the way and attacking them, but Gu Jinheng suppressed them with his Yin Gong. The monsters chasing them from behind were guessed by Han Ruize with a short blade and forced back with blind attacks.

I walked to Grandma Xun’s side and heard her shout, “Three steps to my right, jump!”

They did not hesitate.

The three of them went down the passage one after another, only to find that the entrance to the third domain was not a suspended cave, but a rotating, disorderly slide.

Fortunately, the uniform water was diverted to another place at the beginning of the slide.

The white light in front of their eyes gradually faded, and Pei Nai and others were finally able to open their eyes.

The situation of her body made her dizzy, and as she had closed her eyes for so long, she had difficulty determining her direction, and she slid downwards half sideways.

Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize stood in front and behind her, each holding her hands tightly and protecting her in the middle.

Her arm was torn and it hurt a little. Fortunately, the slide was not as long as expected, and they fell down quickly and heavily.

Pei Nai fell on Gu Jinheng, while Han Ruize fell to the side.

Gu Jinheng let go of his hand and looked at Pei Nai's condition.

He saw Han Ruize and Pei Nai holding hands, his eyes were as cruel as snow, cold and intimidating, and he angrily said to Han Ruize: "Let go of your hand!"

At this moment, Daxian behind him also slid down the passage.

When he reached the exit, he jumped on the edge, passed the three of them, and landed to the side.

After hearing Gu Jinheng's words, Pei Nai's dizzy head finally came to his senses. He hurriedly pulled his hand away, then spread his hands out in front of him.

His expression seemed to say: I was wrong, I am innocent.

Da Xian took a quick look and knew what had happened. He hissed and said, "It seems I was too slow."

There was no trace of apology on Han Ruize's face.

He only looked at Pei Nai's body to make sure she was not injured. He did not explain to Gu Jinheng, but only said to Pei Nai: "I'm just worried that he didn't hold you well. After all, there has been a precedent."

Pei Nai didn't dare to speak. He lowered his head, stood up, and walked aside silently.

Da Xi'an laughed out loud and held out his hand, "They are going too far and putting you in a difficult position. Just hold my hand and you won't be troubled."

Pei Nai slapped his hand with his backhand.

"What a cruel heart! They are both suitors, why should they be treated differently?" Da Xian rubbed his hands.

Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize had both stood up, and the people behind them arrived one after another.

After Grandma Xun's maid jumped down, she glanced at the four of them and said unhappily, "You all have such a good attitude. Someone's dead, and you still have the mood to be jealous here."

Her words reminded Pei Nai.

"Who was the source of the scream just now? Who got into trouble?" Pei Nai asked with a frown.

Seeing the expression of the captain of the Qilu royal guard behind Zhang Sheng, Da Xian's face also became serious.

I waited until the last Grandma Axun landed on the ground, and only the faintest cries were left from above.

Pei Nai wanted to go up with a spear, but was stopped by Grandma Axun.

Grandma Axun said, "There's no hope of saving them. You can't open your eyes if you go up there, and you can't move easily. Besides, they've all mutated."

"So what on earth is that thing up there?" Han Ruize asked.

Zhang Sheng replied, "The humans who were infected and mutated by the uniform light water are called silent catfish in the second domain. They have no human consciousness and cannot make any sound. Their body tissues are constantly transformed into muddy water, which is generated quickly and accumulated on the body. Then they are dissolved by the uniform light water and absorbed by the meteorite ecosystem."

"Because of their sticky skin, their silence, and their ability to survive in uniformly lighted water, they are called Silent Catfish."

"How come there are so many?" Daxian asked, "Don't you limit the number of people who come in every year?"

Zhang Sheng shook his head and denied it. "We control the number of people entering the domain every year, and most of the time everyone is active in the First Domain. It's just that the catfishmen and other mutant creatures here have extremely long lifespans. Unless they are killed, they will hardly age and die."

"So many of the monsters in the Twenty-One Realm may have been born hundreds of years ago?" Pei Nai asked in surprise.

Zhang Sheng nodded, "Indeed, and some of them are even alien creatures that fell with the meteorites, and they are extremely aggressive."

Huyan Weizhao, Zhong Lin and others were wiping their weapons.

There was a turbid substance like blood mud on it, with blood vessels and skin tissue faintly visible, which made people feel nauseous at the sight of it.

Gu Jinheng and Da Xian's personal guards counted the number of people.

At the end of the team, one of Gu Jinheng's silver-armored guards and two of Da Xian's guards died.

Although they had been mentally prepared before entering the domain that this journey was full of dangers and life and death were unpredictable, it was still difficult to accept that three people died just after arriving in the second domain.

"General Pei, you just said that the Mo Catfish people grabbed your arm and stopped you from moving forward?" Grandma Axun asked doubtfully.
