Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 203: Desperate Abyss
She looked back and saw that the giant vine had already slammed heavily to the ground, passing through the one-eyed giant flower.

The two are integrated into one, and the places where they touch are sticky and turbid.

The giant flower had lost its vitality. Countless white crystals on the surface of its eyes rapidly bulged and retracted, fluctuating and twisting, leaving only its final struggle.

Pei Nai stopped looking and turned around, and saw Han Ruize waiting for her a few steps away in the corridor.

Han Ruize saw the whole process, smiled and shook his head, saying: "Only you can do such a thing."

"Are you impressed?" Pei Nai even admired himself.

Han Ruize smiled again, "Yeah."

Pei Nai's expression suddenly changed, because she felt a little cold behind her, and the proud look froze on her face, "Hurry up, hurry up! I'm afraid that vine will follow us!"

Han Ruize hurriedly did as he was told and walked very quickly.

But he hadn't walked far before he started to laugh as he was thinking.

"What are you laughing at?" Pei Nai asked angrily.

Han Ruize asked back: "How did you switch between murderous intent and fear so naturally?"

"I was reckless last time, and you, Gu Jinheng, and Da Xian took turns to teach me a lesson. My ears are almost callused from it, and I haven't been able to touch a spear for more than a month. I guess I'm afraid." Pei Nai recalled the unpleasant experience.

This place is already far away from the 33rd block, and the giant vine behind has not caught up.

Pei Naicai added: "So the Linshang Waterfall is not the center of the secret realm of Lu Kingdom at all. There are too many magical places here, like the ancient tree with human body, the insect egg area, and the wriggling creature just now. They are all like the end point of the adventure in ancient books."

Han Ruize did not reply.

Pei Nai asked, "What are you thinking about?"

"I was thinking that there are still two blocks in the third circle. I really want to pat you on the head." Han Ruize answered truthfully.

"Heh." Pei Nai laughed scornfully, "I don't know who will take the photo of whom by then."

"The topics you two are talking about are so childish," Ju Liancheng's voice came from the end of the corridor.

Pei Nai said to Han Ruize, "It seems that the next block is quite safe. He still has the mind to eavesdrop on our conversation."

"That's the truth." Han Ruize agreed.

As soon as Pei Nai stepped out of the corridor, he was given a cold stare by Ju Liancheng.

But Pei Nai didn't bother to pay attention to him because the scene before her made her speechless with astonishment.

In the environment filled with even light and water, the stars are shining and the flowers are densely scattered, just like a fairyland on earth.

There is evenly distributed water in the middle of the petals, flowing down along the veins of the plant.

The epidermis of the flowers and roots is as thin as a veil under the sunlight, while the fine veins inside emit a beautiful light, circulating like electric currents.

Every touch of color shows the beauty of nature.

As soon as you leave hell, you will enter the fairyland.

However, this place still belongs to the third circle, and all kinds of objects will merge, so many different kinds of flowers are stuck together, as if they are different species on the same plant, which is very weird.

"Don't look at it anymore," Ju Liancheng said coldly, "Judging from the location of the block, the roots of these flowers are all buried in blood. Guess what they are watered with?"

Pei Nai looked at him, then at the flowers.

Indeed, he was in no mood to appreciate it at all. "You're really ruthless, where are you going next?" Pei Nai glanced at him.

"Across the street." Ju Liancheng said concisely.

Pei Nai asked again: "Next is the last block of the third circle?"

Ju Liancheng nodded. "The thirty-fifth block is sandwiched between the third and fourth circles. I'm not sure which circle's rules it leans towards more."

Pei Nai nodded in understanding.

Everyone quickly passed through the area with few flowers and entered the exit corridor safely.

There was a rustling sound of wind at the end, and the surroundings gradually became colder.

Han Ruize stepped out of the passage and stood on a small cliff slope. Under his feet was a dark and bottomless abyss, and above him was a mountain wall with no sunlight.

They actually came to an underground canyon in the secret realm. There was little light and water around, but they could clearly see many stone wall entrances on the other side of the cliff, and the cliffs were connected by a few vines.

There are some flat stones wrapped on the vines, as if they were thrown from the opposite side and laid there by previous generations, so people can stand on them.

The situation in the dark was still unknown. Han Ruize lowered his voice and said to the people behind him: "Let everyone stop first and try not to make any noise."

Everyone passed the message on one by one.

"Where is the cliff cave at the exit?" Han Ruize confirmed with Ju Liancheng.

Ju Liancheng observed for a while and pointed to a stone cave at the lower side of the opposite mountain wall. There was also a protruding cliff slope on the outer edge of the cave.

There was a vine as wide as two people's shoulders stretched in the air, connecting the opposite cliff slope. There were many flat stones laid crookedly on the vine, which just confirmed Ju Liancheng's judgment.

Han Ruize followed the path along the gap in the cliff wall and arrived near the vines.

He stepped on the stone to test it and made sure it was safe. He was about to lead the way when a whipping sound suddenly came from the abyss under his feet.

There is something underneath!
Pei Nai made a gesture, indicating that she should go first and let Han Ruize cover her.

After all, Han Ruize's whip can save people at critical moments.

Han Ruize was a little worried, and Pei Nai nodded to him firmly.

He finally gave in and agreed to let Pei Nai go first.

Pei Nai stepped onto the vines, stepped on the stones on the surface, and walked through the abyss step by step.

Han Ruize kept a close eye on the movements around him the whole time, his hand almost close to the whip, and he was ready to destroy one of his hands.

Fortunately, Pei Nai arrived at the other side safely.

She checked the environment over there and made a "safe" gesture to Han Ruize and the others.

Ju Liancheng and the others were waiting for Han Ruize to leave first, but Han Ruize waved at them and asked them to keep a distance and pass by one by one, and he was going to cover their retreat.

Everyone slowed down and used vines to move to the opposite cliff.

Because of the rules of the third circle, everyone was afraid to support each other and walked on the cliff independently, which was a challenge for people who were afraid of heights.

The man from Huanqing Country had been hiding nearby.

When most people had reached the other side and all the soldiers had set off, he was still standing there trembling.

"Why don't you leave?" Han Ruize asked him with a frown.

The man from Huanqing Country shrank his neck and said truthfully: "I am afraid of heights."

"You have to go up, otherwise there is no other way out." Han Ruize urged him, "Hurry up! I'll follow you."

The young man from Huanqing Kingdom took a step reluctantly at this time. He trembled with every step and walked with difficulty on the thick vines high in the air.

Everyone was worried about him, but they couldn't help.

There are ghosts where there is fear, and lice where there is itchiness. The man could not bear the psychological pressure and kept looking down from time to time, ignoring the uneven stones under his feet.

Everyone was worried about him, but they watched him trip and fall forward heavily.

He was afraid of falling, so he used his hands and feet to grab the vines, but he forgot the rules of the third circle.

The man's hands and feet were completely inserted into the dark brown vines. The pain of merging with the plant was unbearable for him. In an instant, he let out a heart-wrenching howl.

His voice echoed in the cliffs and valleys, amplified several times.

Pei Nai and the others widened their eyes and felt panic in their hearts. The other soldiers had already arrived, but Han Ruize was still behind the man.

The man from Huanqing Country was still screaming and struggling, but he was sinking deeper and deeper, with no possibility of survival.

He covered all the stones on the vines, leaving Han Ruize with nowhere to stand.

Countless creatures were awakened in the darkness.

From below came the crisp sounds of various mutated plants hitting the air.

Some vines and one-eyed strange plants had already emerged from the darkness, gradually approaching, almost surrounding Han Ruize and the others.
