After practicing the ruthless way, the little sister is too strong

Although it was daytime, the sky was completely covered with dark clouds.

The dark clouds blocked out the sunlight, leaving only a gloomy sky.

Xia Ling stepped into the desolate village and looked around, only to see desolation everywhere.

The house is dilapidated and the doors and windows are old.

There are spider webs everywhere and weeds are overgrown.

Moss grew out of the damp cracks in the wall, and the green was fresh, making the withered and yellow dead trees look even more desolate.

Xia Ling used her spiritual power to explore and found that there was no sign of living people within a ten-mile radius except her and Chu Yunshu.

Strangely enough, after arriving in the virtual world, her spiritual power has returned to normal.

But the problem is that it is still impossible to contact Xiaojin, Xiaotian and the others, nor is it possible to enter the holy spirit world hidden in the Xuanyin bracelet.

In other words, apart from the recovery of spiritual power, the current situation is no different from that in the Shadow Forest.

what is the problem?

Coincidence? Or is there another reason...

"What are you standing there for? Don't you want to go inside and take a look?"

A smiling face came up to me.

Xia Ling walked past him expressionlessly, went to the nearest room, and pushed open the already shaky wooden door.

Along with the creaking sound, the accumulated dust was instantly blown away by the breeze.

A pungent smell of decay spread instantly. Xia Ling had a premonition and raised his hand to use his spiritual power to set up a small isolation barrier.

Chu Yunshu was also very shameless and stood behind her, so naturally he was not choked.

The wooden door shook and finally fell down.

The scene inside the house was also seen by both of them at this moment.

The furniture was broken and scattered all over the house.

Rats and spiders crawled over the skeletons, as if frightened by these outsiders, and hid in the corners in an instant.

Chu Yunshu stepped forward, and his spiritual power turned into a thread and touched the debris on the ground, "It looks like human bones."

"This place might be a village built by someone who accidentally stumbled in here. We might be able to find some clues here."

Xia Ling stepped forward and took a look.

Yes, they are indeed human remains.

Judging from the degree of decay, it has been at least a hundred years.

There was nothing unusual in the house, so Xia Ling stepped out first and said, "Don't follow me. Go somewhere else to see if every family has corpses. And by the way, look for any paper clues. Meet at the village entrance in half an hour."

Chu Yunshu had no objection to her giving orders, "Okay."

The two of them split up into two groups.

Xia Ling quickly explored the surrounding houses and even the overgrown open space.

Finally, I found a few yellowed letters.

A sealing spell had been cast on the paper, but it was almost ineffective now.

In addition, some talismans and weapons were also found.

Two of the swords were engraved with the emblem of a declining sect, while the talisman paper had a talisman of a teleportation array drawn on it.

Of course, it was a failure.

Judging from the degree of fading of the lines on it, this talisman should have been created more than ten years ago.

As for the papers, some resembled diaries, and two others had route maps drawn on them.

The recorder was a sword cultivator who mistakenly entered a virtual world a hundred years ago. After coming out of the world, he came here and established this village with other people who accidentally entered.

At first, these people still thought they could break out, but they found that every time a blood moon came, a large number of monsters would attack them.

The cultivation levels of those monsters are all above the Golden Core stage, and the highest even exceeds the Dongxu stage.

After several rounds, there were less than ten survivors in the team of a hundred people.

Some of these 10 people gave up in despair, but the recorder did not give up. Instead, he chose to step into other places in the virtual world to try to find a way to survive.

During this time, he encountered countless treasures and encountered countless dangers. In the end, he found that there was no way out and finally gave up.

When he was on the verge of death, he returned to the village and left behind for those who came after him the routes to the various places he had explored in his lifetime, especially marking the safer places.

He also noted that he hoped that future generations who accidentally entered this place would be able to successfully escape from this abyss one day.

Judging from the last letter he left behind, which was no different from a suicide note, he probably spent nearly a hundred years trying to survive, and his cultivation reached the Lianxu realm, but he still failed in the end.

After reading it, Xia Ling felt a little unconfident about himself.

If these records are true, then with her current Jindan cultivation level, it is likely that she will not be able to hold on until the day she finds the exit.

After all, the paper says that the blood moon will come every three days.

Besides these, other dangers abound.

If we really have to face it, the survival rate is terribly low.

"..."

Forget it, the worst that can happen is death.

Now that things have come to this, there is no other way but to face the challenge head-on.

Xia Ling used magic to copy the paper into two copies, put the original into the space, and intended to give the other copy to Chu Yunshu.

After the investigation, Xia Ling turned around and went back to the village entrance.

Coincidentally, as soon as she arrived, Chu Yunshu came over from another place.

As soon as he saw her, Chu Yunshu was like a puppy seeing its master. He waved the paper in his hand and smiled: "A Ling, I found some letters with maps drawn on them. I think they should have been left by the predecessors who accidentally broke into this place."

He quickly ran to Xia Ling and handed over a few pieces of paper in his hands.

Xia Ling was not polite and took it directly, and put the letter map that was originally prepared for him in his palm, "I have memorized this map, you keep it."

"Okay." Chu Yunshu took it and read it quickly. "It's not in the same direction as the map I found, and the handwriting is different. Judging from the spiritual energy on it, they should not be the same group of people. The time difference should be about 120 years."

"Isn't this better?" Xia Ling finished reading the contents of the paper in his hand and handed it back to him. "Both of them record that the blood moon is extremely dangerous, but I don't know whether the blood moon day is today or tomorrow. So I decided to rush to the 'Muli Mountain' marked on the paper as soon as possible."

Both sheets of paper have maps engraved on them, with safe/dangerous places marked.

Although the routes are different, there are also some overlaps.

For example, Muli Mountain is one of the overlapping safe places.

Chu Yunshu tilted his head slightly, "Aren't you afraid that they are false clues deliberately left by the enemy?"

"It's better to believe it than not to believe it." Xia Ling naturally had her doubts, but the traces of blood and tears left on the paper made her unforgettable for a long time.

She believed more than she doubted.

but……

Xia Ling said calmly: "Just make your own decision, and don't take my words to heart. After all, I'm just speculating."

She can barely protect herself at the moment, and doesn't want to be responsible for the life and death of others.

Moreover, Chu Yunshu’s cultivation is higher than hers, and perhaps the choices he makes are better than hers, so there is no need for him to follow her all the time.

"..."

Chu Yunshu didn't say anything, but raised his eyes and stared at her quietly.

Xia Ling didn't feel uncomfortable, but it felt a bit silly and a waste of time to keep looking at each other.

Just say it bluntly: "Just say whatever you want to say."

"You really are..." Chu Yunshu suddenly chuckled and changed his usual lazy tone.

The emotion in his eyes faded. "I will do my best to protect you, and I have only one request. Don't treat me as a direct disciple of Yinmiao Sect, just treat me as Chu Yunshu. At least in this illusion mirror, I hope we can be companions who go hand in hand."

"..."

Xia Ling had nothing to say.

Human nature is complex, and she has a partial impression of him as a descendant of the Yinmiao clan.

Moreover, he approached her suddenly, talking about the so-called false love at first sight. How could she not suspect that he had other motives?

Chu Yunshu suddenly softened his attitude, and spoke in a small voice with a bit of grievance, "...Is it really not possible...If I had known, I would not have joined the damn Yinmiao Sect."

Looking at Chu Yunshu standing in front of him with a sincere and aggrieved face, Xia Ling felt a little headache, and finally took a step back, "...only in the Illusion Mirror, and during this period, you must listen to me, if you can't do it, forget it."

This sentence seemed to be a kind of happiness medicine. Chu Yunshu raised his head instantly, his eyes brightened a little, and his smile was even brighter than before. "Then it's settled~ Don't regret it!"

As he spoke, he stretched out his hand and winked at Xia Ling.

Xia Ling was silent, but finally reached out and high-fived him, "Okay, let's go."

Chu Yunshu was in a good mood at the moment, and his voice was even more pleasant: "According to the fastest sword speed, it seems that it will take a whole day to get to Muli Mountain from here."

"Well, so stop talking nonsense." Xia Ling took out the Wuyou that was tucked on his waist, and flew towards Muli Mountain following the route on the map.
