Until the fourth day, the day was normal. Lu Qingxi led the children in the village to study in class as usual. The sun shone on her, covering her with a golden halo, making her look even warmer and more sacred. Her voice was soft and firm, and every word was full of love for knowledge and care for children.

At the end of the class, Gu Yuan, Mu Jingxuan and Song Hanyi sat quietly. Their eyes followed Lu Qingxi's figure, feeling the warmth and strength she exuded. Every move and every word of Lu Qingxi calmed their anxiety.

As night fell, Song Hanyi turned into a six-year-old child again, sitting alone on the stone steps at the entrance of the village. His eyes revealed a hint of determination and courage, as if he had already prepared for everything. At this moment, a strange breath quietly approached him. He felt a cold black air blowing in his ears, and he instantly felt sleepy.

Song Hanyi's heart tightened, and he immediately recited a spell in his mouth to suppress his sleepiness. He gently closed his eyes and pretended to faint. At this moment, a dark shadow appeared behind him, carried him on his shoulders, and walked out of the village.

Seeing this, Gu Yuan, Mu Jingxuan and others immediately followed. They followed the shadow carefully, fearing to alert the enemy. After a tortuous pursuit, they finally came to the place where they had detected the evil spirit before. The shadow stopped and walked towards a tree on the right. He stretched out his palm and injected a trace of evil spirit into the trunk. With the injection of evil spirit, the tree seemed to come alive and emitted a faint light.

At this moment, the black shadow turned around and disappeared with Song Hanyi. Gu Yuan witnessed everything in front of him, and the doubts in his heart gradually dissipated, replaced by a clear understanding of the truth of the matter. It turned out that the reason for the disappearance of the demonic energy was the formation here. Whether it is the formation of the demon clan or the demon clan, its essence is the same. It only needs to be triggered with appropriate spiritual power to activate its mysterious power.

At the same time, Mu Jingxuan and Lu Qingxi also hurried forward, trying to imitate the black shadow and send spiritual power to the tree. However, no matter how hard they tried, the tree seemed to have no reaction and stood there quietly, as if mocking their incompetence.

Mu Jingxuan's heart seemed to be pulled by a strong emotion at this moment, and tears flashed in her eyes, which showed her deep worry and concern for Song Hanyi.

Gu Yuan stood aside and naturally saw Mu Jingxuan's performance. He knew that he had the ability to open this formation, but his heart was full of entanglements. He was worried that once he took action, his identity would be exposed and cause unnecessary trouble. But thinking that Mu Jingxuan was his savior, he was also very entangled for a while.

At this moment, Lu Qingxi's cold voice broke the silence: "Should I not have agreed to let him take the risk? Maybe there is a better way." There was deep self-blame in her tone, as if she was blaming herself for her incompetence.

It turned out that after Song Hanyi and the black shadow disappeared, Xiaoliu immediately received a plot warning and told Lu Qingxi about the danger the male protagonist might face. Lu Qingxi tried for a long time but couldn't open the barrier. The self-blame and helplessness in his heart became stronger and stronger, and he finally couldn't help but say those words.

These words sounded like a small stone hitting Gu Yuan's chest. Before his brain could react, his body had already taken action.

He quickly took out the token from his arms and walked towards the tree without hesitation. He put the token into the tree hole, and then a powerful force surged out of the tree, enveloping everyone. Their figures disappeared on the spot, leaving only an empty forest.

After the three of them entered the formation, Gu Yuan finally woke up from his dream and realized what he had done. He stood there in a daze for a long time before he stuttered to explain: "Before, I subdued a little demon and the token fell from his body. I thought it might be useful in the future, so I tried it today. Fortunately, I kept it at that time..." After saying that, he walked inside with a heavy step.

Lu Qingxi had understood the whole story at this moment. She secretly sighed in her heart that the formation should only need demonic energy or devilish energy to open. The token of the little demon that Gu Yuan mentioned might be his subordinates. She glanced at Mu Jingxuan who was still wiping her tears, and thought to herself that it seemed that Gu Yuan had already realized her feelings for Mu Jingxuan. What she didn't notice was that when she looked at Mu Jingxuan, the man in front of her also secretly looked back at her a few times.

The three of them followed Song Hanyi's scent and walked forward. It took them a long time to reach a closed door. Gu Yuan didn't want Lu Qingxi to feel guilty towards Song Hanyi because of the delay, so he immediately took out three breath-hiding pills that he usually took from his arms and handed them to them, telling them that they could hide their breath after taking them. He cast another spell on himself to make sure that everything was safe before he led the others in carefully.

The door was gently pushed open, and a pungent smell of blood hit them. The three of them immediately frowned, and a strong sense of uneasiness surged in their hearts. What came into view was a group of children tied to the magic circle, with pale faces and empty eyes. Their bodies were so thin that they seemed to be blown down by a gust of wind. Seeing this scene, Lu Qingxi and Mu Jingxuan couldn't help but cover their mouths, their eyes filled with shock and anger.

Every face of the children tied to the magic circle made Lu Qingxi feel distressed. She recognized three of them at a glance. They were the children who had disappeared in Ping'an Village not long ago. Looking at their pale faces and empty eyes, Lu Qingxi felt an indescribable anger and sadness in her heart.

In addition, there were many faces she didn't recognize, probably innocent children captured by the monsters from other nearby villages. They were cruelly tied up here and had suffered countless inhuman tortures.

At this moment, Mu Jingxuan suddenly exclaimed, pointed to the center of the magic circle and said, "Look, that's Song Hanyi!" Because he was hung in a relatively central position, everyone's sight had not been able to observe him before. At this moment, Song Hanyi also saw the three people, and he immediately used his eyes to convey information to them, signaling them to be careful.

Gu Yuan, Mu Jingxuan and Lu Qingxi followed Song Hanyi's gaze closely, their eyes were firm and resolute. They knew that the purpose of their trip was not only to rescue Song Hanyi, but also to rescue these innocent children from the abyss.
