The beautiful mage was kidnapped by the contracted beast again

The further downstream you go, the dimmer the light becomes.

The originally clear and transparent water gradually became deeper, and finally it was pitch dark.

Jiang Liujing sensed something unusual and stopped diving for a moment. He swam back tentatively, but felt a strong resistance.

In the contract, he asked Chi what the situation was like outside, and Chi replied, "You disappeared as soon as you entered the water."

Everyone panicked for a moment. After all, normally, the water a few meters above was still visible. But as soon as Jiang Liujing entered, he disappeared right where he stood, which seemed to confirm his illusion.

If Chi hadn't assured them that Jiang Liujing was not in danger, they would have almost followed him down.

Jiang Liujing briefly explained the underwater situation to Chi and asked them to wait for a while.

A distance of one hundred meters was not far for him in his current state, and he could even reach it in the blink of an eye.

But after Jiang Liujing entered the water, he discovered that the 100-meter depth he sensed from outside was also wrong. He swam for a long time but still couldn't reach the bottom.

The deeper you go, the lower the water temperature becomes. It becomes eerily quiet all around, with only the sounds of paddling in the water and your own heartbeat.

Jiang Liujing thought, it’s a good thing that I didn’t let the other people come.

This feeling of darkness with no end in sight is obviously not something a few impatient guys can endure.

The world gradually darkens, the light slowly fades away, and it becomes difficult to distinguish between illusion and reality. The seemingly calm and empty waters cut off any escape route, and the only option is to keep diving.

Fortunately, he can breathe even in water in this form. Most people, even water mages, would suffocate to death in the middle of it.

Jiang Liujing gradually realized that this seemingly harmless water area was actually a real murderous illusion.

So what exactly is it that needs to be hidden using such a cruel illusion?

He didn't even know how long he had been diving. He could only rely on communicating with Chi to confirm the passage of time and maintain consciousness.

Only a few hours had passed outside, but Jiang Liujing felt as if several days had passed. Every second in the water seemed infinitely longer.

If he were alone, Jiang Liujing could not guarantee that he would not be assimilated by the illusion.

Finally, the illusion seemed to confirm that the existing conditions could not harm him, and the scene of the surrounding water suddenly began to distort, as if an invisible force was tearing the water space apart.

A blurry light and shadow suddenly appeared in front of Jiang Liujing. It was very far away at first, and then the light and shadow suddenly rushed towards him at a high speed, and in an instant it pressed in front of him like a mountain.

The mermaid's pupils suddenly shrank, and the next second she was swallowed by the light and shadow, and her figure suddenly disappeared from the water.

As if he had noticed something, Chi Ye, who was waiting on the shore, suddenly stood up and asked hurriedly in his heart: "Miao Miao, what's wrong?"

There was no response from the other side of the contract for a long time.

Chi frowned. He could only make sure Jiang Liujing wasn't injured, but he wasn't sure if he was conscious. That was the downside of the contract; one party had to be conscious to actively summon the other in order for the teleportation to occur.

He was deciding whether to continue waiting or to reverse the call and forcibly bring Jiang Liujing out. Others also noticed his agitated expression.

They had already guessed that Jiang Liujing and Chi had some special connection, perhaps through some alchemical artifact. Now Chi's face darkened, and they all grew nervous. Mo Ya asked anxiously, "Is Xiaojing in trouble?"

They already felt something was wrong when Jiang Liujing had been down there for more than ten minutes and still hadn't come out, but Chi was still very calm at the time, so they just waited quietly.

As a result, it was almost dark when they waited, but Jiang Liujing still didn't show up.

At this moment, everyone realized that this pool of water was probably more "special" than they had expected.

Chi looked very unhappy and was in no mood to talk. He had just taken two steps towards the edge of the pond when the young man's clear voice suddenly came from the other end of the contract, which had been silent for a long time: "I'm fine."

Chi paused.

His tense nerves suddenly relaxed, and he asked, "What happened? Did you hear my voice just now?"

"I heard it, but I couldn't reply just now. I can now. I'm not hurt. You don't have to tell Mo Ya and the others to wait any longer. I'm not there anymore." Jiang Liujing replied.

He was no longer in the pool, and his bare feet stepped on the land and turned into a human again.

His long black hair draped softly behind him, and countless blue water droplets rolled down from the ends of his hair, crackling and freezing under his fair feet, forming crystal beads all over the ground.

He came here after being swallowed by the light. In the middle, he seemed to have experienced a complicated space turbulence, and the communication between him and Chi was forced to be interrupted for a moment.

Jiang Liujing looked around at this unfamiliar space and saw the vast expanse of water connected to the endless mountains and fields.

Judging from the structure of the mountain, it seems to be part of the Hidden Dragon Mountain Range, but Jiang Liujing finds it very unusual.

When he arrived, it was late autumn, and most of the trees in the Canglong Mountains were either yellow or red.

However, the mountains before my eyes were covered with lush green, and every blade of grass and every tree seemed to exude tremendous vitality.

Jiang Liujing sensed a rich wood-type magic from them, and was just wondering if it was the magic that made them look so vibrant when he felt a hard object in his pocket suddenly heat up rapidly.

He was stunned for a moment, then hesitantly took something out of his pocket - it was the stone that Sang Mo had given to Dahei when he came to seek refuge with him. Sang Mo had said that if he ran into trouble, he could use the stone to find him.

This time when Jiang Liujing was going to the Canglong Mountains, he knew that Grandpa Sang Mo was also somewhere in the mountains. Thinking that he would have a chance to meet him, he specially brought this stone with him.

It's getting hot now, which means Grandpa Sang Mo is nearby?

"Chi, I think I found where Grandpa Sang is!"

The boy's voice, transmitted through the contract, could not hide the excitement and surprise in his tone even if he tried to suppress it.

Chi Xin's original tension seemed to be dissipated by his emotions, and his expression relaxed.

Although his relationship with Jiang Liujing's two grandfathers was only average and they had fought many times in the early days, it must be said that only with them around could Chi ensure Jiang Liujing's safety.

The three of them would never betray or hurt him. They were Jiang Liujing's family. They were people he could always trust.

He gestured to the people on the shore, indicating that Jiang Liujing was fine for the time being and asked them to go back first and not wait any longer.
