My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 52: Tricking the Fox Demon

The thick night enveloped the demon realm, and the shrill cries of several unknown birds added a touch of eeriness.

The bonfire crackled, and the flames reflected on everyone's faces, flickering.

Chen Yu wiped his mouth. The sweet taste of chocolate powder mixed with that strange smell made his stomach churn.

He suppressed his discomfort and pretended to be calm.

"Miss Mei'er, can we go now?" Chen Yu clapped his hands, brushed off the dust on his body, and asked with a relaxed look.

Hu Meir was still holding her stomach and laughing. She was shaking with laughter and her red eyes narrowed into slits.

"You...you are truly the most interesting human I have ever met!" She finally managed to stop laughing and said, "Okay, you've passed the test. I can take you to the depths of the demon realm."

Lin Qingxue walked to Chen Yu, gently pulled his sleeve, and whispered, "Chen Yu, are you okay?

You don’t look well.”

Chen Yu forced a smile and said, "It's okay, it's okay, I just have a little indigestion."

He secretly took out a bottle of "happy water" from his storage ring, unscrewed the cap, and gulped down a few big gulps.

This happy water was stored by him when he was on earth, and now it comes in handy.

Liu Ruyan waved a red folding fan, walked up to Chen Yu, and said with a smile, "Chen Yu, I didn't expect you to be so brave that you even dared to eat something like that."

Chen Yu rolled his eyes at Liu Ruyan and said, "Of course, who am I, Chen Yu?

What's this little thing?" He was muttering in his heart: If it weren't for completing the mission, I wouldn't eat that kind of shit.

Su Daji gently handed Chen Yu a handkerchief and said with concern: "Chen Yu, wipe the sweat off your face."

Chen Yu took the handkerchief, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and felt touched.

Su Daji is still very considerate.

Xuesha stood aside, looking at Chen Yu silently with complicated eyes.

He really couldn't understand Chen Yu's behavior. Are all humans so weird?

Er Gouzi, who had been hiding behind the banyan tree, poked his head out and asked cautiously, "Master Chen, what exactly are those things?"

Chen Yu glared at Er Gouzi and said unhappily, "Don't ask so many questions, kid."

He couldn't tell Er Gouzi that the pile of stuff was actually...

Hu Meir cleared her throat and said, "Okay, it's getting late, let's go."

Chen Yu and his group followed Hu Meir and walked up a rugged mountain road.

The surrounding trees became increasingly dense, blocking out the sun and making it almost impossible to see any light.

The air was filled with thick miasma, making it difficult to breathe.

Chen Yu took a deep breath and circulated the true energy in his body to resist the invasion of miasma.

He turned to Lin Qingxue and the others and said, "Everyone, be careful. This miasma is poisonous."

Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan and Su Daji all nodded and circulated their true energy to resist the invasion of miasma.

Xue Sha has a special physique and is immune to miasma. He follows Chen Yu silently, vigilantly observing the surrounding environment.

Er Gouzi held on tightly to the corner of Chen Yu's clothes, fearing that he would be left behind.

After walking for a while, they came across a turbulent river in front of them. The water was as black as ink and emitted a foul odor.

Hu Meir pointed at the river and said, "This river is called the Forgetful River. The water is poisonous and cannot be touched."

Chen Yu looked at the Forgotten River, feeling a wave of doubt in his heart. This demonic realm was truly filled with strangeness.

"Then how do we cross the river?" Chen Yu asked.

Hu Meir smiled and said, "Don't worry, I have a way."

She pulled out a jade talisman from her bosom and threw it into the air. The talisman transformed into a streak of white light and landed on the Forgotten River.

A white jade bridge suddenly appeared on the river.

"Let's go." Hu Meir said.

Chen Yu and his group walked onto the White Jade Bridge and crossed the river carefully.

After crossing the Forgotten River, the group continued on their journey. The surrounding trees grew denser, blocking out almost all light. Only a few starlights filtered through the gaps between the leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

The mountain road was even more rugged, with thorns and rocks everywhere. Chen Yu accidentally tripped over a rock and almost fell.

Fortunately, Lin Qingxue was quick to act and supported him.

"Chen Yu, are you okay?" Lin Qingxue asked with concern.

Chen Yu stood up, shook his head and said, "It's okay, thank you."

He turned to Er Gouzi and said, "Er Gouzi, follow closely and don't fall behind."

Er Gouzi nodded quickly and followed Chen Yu closely.

Xuesha walked at the front of the team, holding a black long knife and observing the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Although he surrendered to Chen Yu, he still felt somewhat dissatisfied.

He felt that Chen Yu was too weak and was not worthy of being his master.

Liu Ruyan waved her red folding fan, walked over to Chen Yu, and said with a smile, "Chen Yu, you are quite a loyal follower."

Chen Yu glanced at Xue Sha and said, "He is not my follower, he is my little brother."

Liu Ruyan covered her mouth with her hands and smiled, saying, "Little brother? I think he doesn't seem to be very convinced by you."

Chen Yu smiled and said, "Not convinced? Sooner or later you will be convinced."

Su Daji walked to Chen Yu and said gently, "Chen Yu, are you tired?

Do you want to take a break?"

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "No, I can still hold on."

But he was thinking in his heart: Su Daji is so gentle and considerate, it would be great if I could marry her home.

Hu Meir walked at the front of the team. Her steps were light, as if she was strolling in the woods, and she was not affected by the surrounding environment at all.

She looked back at Chen Yu from time to time, with a strange light flashing in her red eyes.

As she walked, Hu Meir suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu asked.

Hu Meir pointed ahead and said, "There's a cave ahead. Let's rest there tonight."

Chen Yu looked up and saw a cave in front of him. The entrance of the cave was very small and could only accommodate one person.

"This cave looks a bit eerie." Ergouzi said.

"Yes, it feels like there is something inside." Liu Ruyan also said.

Chen Yu turned to look at Hu Meir and asked, "Miss Meir, is this cave safe?"

Hu Meir smiled and said, "Don't worry, this cave is very safe.

I used to rest here often.”

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Okay, let's go in."

Xuesha was the first to walk into the cave. He held a long knife in his hand and observed the surrounding environment vigilantly.

Chen Yu and others also followed him in.

The cave was dark, and Chen Yu took out a night-shining pearl from his storage ring and illuminated the cave.

The cave was dry, and the ground was covered with a thick layer of fallen leaves.

There was a faint musty smell in the air.

Deep in the cave, there is a flat stone.

"Let's rest here." Chen Yu said.

Everyone sat down on the rocks.

Chen Yu took out some dry food and water from his storage ring and distributed them to everyone.

After eating their dry food and drinking water, everyone felt a little tired.

"Everyone, take turns keeping watch." Chen Yu said, "I'll go first."

Lin Qingxue said, "Chen Yu, you are tired today, so I will be the one to keep watch."

Chen Yu shook his head and said, "No, I'm not tired."

Liu Ruyan said, "Then I'll also keep watch."

Su Daji also said, "I'll come too."

Chen Yu looked at the three women and felt deeply moved. He said, "Okay, then we'll take turns keeping watch."

Xue Sha stood aside, watching everyone silently. He felt very disdainful, thinking that these people were too weak and not worthy of entering the depths of the demon domain.

Ergouzi leaned against Chen Yu and fell asleep quickly.

Chen Yu sat cross-legged, closed his eyes, and began to practice.

Time passed minute by minute, and the cave was quiet with only the sound of everyone's breathing.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from deep in the cave.

Chen Yu suddenly opened his eyes and looked vigilantly into the depths of the cave.

Lin Qingxue, Liu Ruyan and Su Daji also woke up and looked vigilantly into the depths of the cave.

Xuesha held a long knife and walked deep into the cave to check the situation.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu asked.

Xue Sha shook his head and said, "Nothing, maybe a rat."

Chen Yu nodded and said, "Everyone, continue to rest."

Everyone closed their eyes again and began to rest.

After a while, the rustling sound came again, and it became louder and louder.
