The female lead thought she had a "proud and arrogant" character script.

Luo Qingcheng gripped his sword tightly, his expression turning serious.

Hu Muyu tried to mobilize her spiritual power, but the attack that cut off the tentacles had already consumed almost all of her spiritual power. Then she was attacked by the vengeful spirit. The fact that she could still stand and withstand the erosion of the vengeful spirit was already a testament to her strong willpower.

Where would they find the extra strength to help Luo Qingcheng?

Luo Qingcheng certainly didn't expect anything from Senior Sister Hu. If Senior Sister Hu could have won, she wouldn't have been chased so badly by the demons.

Sword cultivators are all stubborn mules. When Senior Sister Hu first encountered the demon, she must have fought it, but she ran away because she realized she couldn't beat it.

But Luo Qingcheng had no intention of running away.

Because Feng Aotian is capable of fighting opponents of higher levels, even a minor Foundation Establishment cultivator at the Great Perfection stage couldn't break through her defenses, so she wasn't afraid at all.

Luo Qingcheng, who secretly thought sword cultivators were stubborn mules, didn't realize that she herself was also one of those stubborn mules.

Feeling completely unfazed, Luo Qingcheng took a deep breath of the purified, incredibly fresh air and was about to go up—

The demon in front of him, having absorbed the red mist, was radiating an ever-increasing aura!

Hu Muyu exclaimed in horror, "Girl, run! It's about to advance to the Golden Core stage!"

Hold the grass!

Luo Qingcheng was shocked!

This demon has no sense of martial ethics!

She hadn't forgotten that her current physical body was only invincible against those below the Golden Core stage. Once a demon advanced to the Golden Core stage, attacking her would be as easy as beating a baby.

She might be gone if you just touch her!

She quickly retreated, ran to Hu Muyu's side, grabbed her cold hand, and ran backward.

He hurriedly asked, "Do demons need to undergo a tribulation of lightning to advance to the Golden Core stage?"

If this demon also has to undergo tribulation, then they still have hope.

Hopefully, this demon won't survive the tribulation and will be annihilated by the Heavenly Dao.

Hu Muyu shivered, even the heat generated by vigorous exercise could not relieve the chilling coldness emanating from her body due to the resentment entering her.

"It is necessary to cross over, but there is no Heavenly Dao in the secret realm."

Secret realms are generally the residences left behind by fallen powerful beings or naturally formed. Within a secret realm, there is a small world of its own. If a secret realm has an owner, its owner is the "Heavenly Dao" within the secret realm. Natural secret realms also have their own rules and are not under the jurisdiction of the Heavenly Dao.

Without the Heavenly Dao, there would be no tribulation of lightning.

These words extinguished Luo Qingcheng's last hope.

But she is very optimistic.

After all, she is Feng Aotian, and encountering danger is normal for her, but turning danger into safety is Feng Aotian's basic skill.

There's always a way out; there must be something she hadn't considered!

She ran while recalling what she had seen.

Hu Muyu stubbornly refused to leave the underground space, instead urging Luo Qingcheng to leave quickly so that she could cover the rear. Luo Qingcheng naturally refused, so the two of them could only lead the demons around the blood pool in circles.

However, the distance between them kept closing as the demons advanced, and these demons also gained ranged attack skills after advancing.

This immediately put the already flustered two people in a state of panic and confusion.

Once again, he dodged a vengeful spirit's gaping maw that lunged at his head.

For some reason, the attacks from those vengeful spirits were mostly directed towards Luo Qingcheng, and they seemed to have no interest in Hu Muyu, who was standing next to her.

Luo Qingcheng stared at the blood pool, and suddenly something occurred to him.

Just now, in order to get as far away from the demon as possible, they almost ran to the opposite side of the blood pool when the demon advanced.

However, the demons had no intention of taking a shortcut and crossed the blood pool to chase after the two.

Instead, they obediently circled the blood pool.

why?

She and her senior sister Hu instinctively resisted, also worried about being submerged in the blood pool. However, in theory, the blood pool was not a problem at all for a demon of that size. If they had to bleed through it, they might have been caught up long ago.

After all, the shortest distance between two points is a straight line.

Luo Qingcheng suddenly had an idea.

Taking advantage of the fact that demons are mindless, she didn't lower her voice, "Senior sister, I've noticed that demon seems to be afraid of the blood pool. Shall we try going in?"

Hu Muyu frowned subconsciously.

She had seen the corpses floating in the blood pool when she was circling it earlier. They were so disgusting that she didn't want to see them.

But she had no choice in the matter!

For cultivators, each level is an insurmountable barrier. The speed of a demon in the Golden Core stage is incomparable. In just a few breaths, the two were about to be caught up.

If they are caught, both of them will become members of the Shout family.

In a flash, Hu Muyu made a snap decision and dragged Luo Qingcheng into the blood pool.

The pool of blood was very deep, completely submerging the two of them.

Blood splattered everywhere. Luo Qingcheng held his breath, his eyes and ears covered in sticky blood. If he guessed wrong about this glimmer of hope, then his senior sister would be buried here!

Afterwards, she felt uncomfortable collecting her senior sister's body.

Hu Muyu was unaware that even though she was still alive, someone was already thinking about offering incense to her.

She moved closer and pulled Luo Qingcheng into a familiar bubble.

Hu Muyu used the last of his spiritual power to perform a cleansing spell on Luo Qingcheng, and the blood on Luo Qingcheng's body instantly disappeared.

Feeling a refreshing spiritual energy circulating around him, and the sticky sensation on his body disappearing, Luo Qingcheng tentatively opened his eyes.

Then they saw the light of the water-repelling pearl surrounding Senior Sister Hu and themselves.

A question mark slowly appeared above Luo Qingcheng's head.

Human blood contains up to 85% water, so it makes sense that water-repelling beads can repel blood.

but--

"Senior sister, can two people use the water-repelling bead together?"

Hu Muyu was surprised that Luo Qingcheng's first words after they escaped danger were these. She paused for a moment and replied, "Of course, as long as there is physical contact. Otherwise, why would water-repelling beads be so expensive?"

It's so expensive that it could buy three upgrades for her precious first wife.

That's why Hu Muyu was so surprised when Li Zhiming gave each of them a water-repelling bead.

Because if they hold hands, they can actually use just one water-repelling bead.

Luo Qingcheng: ...

The thought of her lost storage bag containing the water-repelling pearl and all her savings made her heart ache so much she could hardly breathe.

Fortunately, Hu Muyu was a careful person. When Luo Qingcheng asked her to borrow the sword, she realized that her storage bag was probably missing, so she didn't ask any further questions.

He naturally changed the subject: "Girl, it's a good thing you were quick-witted, otherwise we would all be dead here."

Senior sister, you might not believe it, but I am Feng Aotian. I will not die. If anyone is to die, it will be you.

Hu Muyu didn't understand what Luo Qingcheng was thinking when he looked at her with affection, but she felt that Luo Qingcheng didn't seem to be thinking anything good.

He slapped Luo Qingcheng on the shoulder.

The coldness of her palms told Luo Qingcheng that Hu Muyu's injuries were not serious, but she stubbornly refused to show it.

"Hey girl, it seems there's no sound outside. I'll go check it out. You take the water-repelling bead."

Before Luo Qingcheng could refuse, Hu Muyu plunged into the water-repelling bubble.

Fortunately, Hu Muyu returned not long after.

Her face looked pale. "The demons haven't left."

Also.

If Luo Qingcheng put herself in her shoes, she would also stay and guard the two hidden cakes if she were starving.

Then we'll have to think of other solutions.
