Chapter 51 Sect Grand Competition (26)
Chapter 51 Sect Grand Competition (26)
On the way to find Shi Ming, there were significantly more monsters, but fortunately, dealing with them didn't require much of her energy, and the journey was relatively smooth.
Along the way, Luo set up many small formations in the water, just to make things difficult for the people behind him.
"Ouch, who dug this hole!"
Sure enough, someone fell into the formation that Luo had just dug in the water. How could it not be a kind of fate to encounter her newly set up formation in such a large secret realm?
She crept up behind a tree, wanting to see who was trapped in her formation.
Several members of the Wen family, covered in mud, were pulling people into a pit. The person in the pit, covered in dust, was Wen Lian.
Luo Zai Shui almost burst out laughing when she saw this, but could only hide behind a tree to suppress her laughter.
Seeing that the person was about to be pulled out, Luo Zai Shui picked up a few more pebbles and steadily threw them at the back of the group of Wen family members. As expected, the group fell in again, and Wen Lian also fell face-first into the mud.
"Who is it! Who hit me!"
"You bunch of useless good-for-nothings, get out of my way!"
"Young Master Wen, someone just hit us!"
"I'll go up and see who has the guts!"
Luo Zai Shui ignored the person behind her and walked away, suppressing her laughter.
"Junior sister..."
She hadn't gone far when a familiar voice called out to her.
Luo Zai Shui turned around and met Shi Ming's smiling face.
Without thinking twice, she thrust her sword forward.
"Junior sister, what are you doing?"
Luo clicked his tongue impatiently and threw the talismans in his hand over as if they were free.
The man retreated repeatedly, but his smile remained unchanged.
"Oh dear, I really underestimated you."
Just as Luo Zai Shui pierced the man's heart with his sword, the man instantly turned into a cloud of black mist and disappeared without a trace, leaving only a corner of his black robe on the tip of Luo Zai Shui's sword.
"Tsk, whose senior brother keeps laughing like that? It's terrifying."
Luo wiped the dirt off the tip of his sword, then scattered a handful of communication talismans into the air.
Yes, that's right, one.
These things should be enough to alert them. She looked at the red string on her wrist and tried to sense Shi Ming's location again.
Strange, why hasn't the eldest brother moved at all?
Luo Zai Shui realized something was wrong and hurriedly rushed towards Shi Ming's direction.
"Oh dear, look at this! The Wen family disciple looks so disheveled. It's like finding a needle in a haystack."
"save……"
Before the cries for help could even be fully heard, Wen Lian and the others were knocked unconscious and taken away.
……
Upon receiving Luo Zai Shui's telepathic message, Su Wu Si immediately became alert and prepared to go find Luo Zai Shui to meet up.
Just as she was distracted, a fox demon quietly approached from behind.
"Miss Su, be careful!"
The fox demon, its tail severed, fled in panic, only to meet Ye Xiao's somewhat flustered gaze.
Su Wusi chuckled to himself; it really was the same way they met back then.
Seeing her suddenly smile, Ye Xiao's tone unconsciously carried a hint of panic: "Miss Su, are you alright?"
"I'm fine, thank you, Senior Brother Ye."
Seeing that he was also holding his senior sister's communication talisman, Su Wusi took the initiative to invite him, "Senior Brother Ye, you also received my senior sister's communication talisman? I was just about to go find her, why don't we go together?"
Ye Xiao thought for a moment and then agreed.
Xue Xin first gathered with Jian Muyi. Knowing that he was weak in fighting alone, he discussed with Jian Muyi for a while and then decided to get up and go find his senior sister and the others.
Ji Tinghan was a bit unlucky. He was far away from everyone else, but he happened to run into Chu Yeli. After receiving Luo Zaishui's telepathic message, the two of them could only reluctantly form an alliance.
"Senior sister, since there are demons here, why don't we run away?"
Upon receiving the telepathic message, Nie Xushuang flicked Qiao An's head.
"Boosting the enemy's morale while diminishing our own, even if they are demons, they would flee without a fight. What kind of disciples are we then?"
Joan covered her forehead: "Then what should we do?"
Nie Xushuang pondered for a moment: "Let's go, let's go find your Senior Sister Luo first. Since it was her who sent the message, if I'm not mistaken, they will go find her first as well."
She waved the communication talisman in her hand: "Besides, this talisman can indicate her location, isn't that hinting that we should go find her?"
"Oh……"
The Sun brothers, who received the communication talisman, originally intended to send their junior sister out first, but after she broke her waist token, she was not sent out.
The two exchanged a glance and came to a conclusion.
"It's a formation."
Sun Yuan asked somewhat uneasily, "What should we do now, elder brother?"
Sun Heng pondered for a moment: "Let's go find Zai Shui and the others. They're the only ones here who know how to break the formation. We shouldn't be able to force our way through with magical artifacts. Let's join up with them first."
"it is good."
The disciples who were originally in competition with each other instantly united because of a communication talisman, and all the disciples who received the communication talisman rushed to the center of the secret realm.
The communication talisman that was originally meant for Shi Ming seemed to be blocked by something after it reached a certain place. The talisman spun in the air and then fell to the ground.
When Luo arrived, all she saw was the motionless communication talisman on the ground. She was certain that Shi Ming was there, but he was nowhere to be seen. She bent down to pick up the communication talisman and looked ahead.
"Senior Brother—Senior Brother—"
She tried yelling a few times, but only a few echoes responded before silence followed.
She instinctively wanted to move forward, but her intuition told her that it was dangerous ahead, so she stopped where the talisman had fallen.
Perhaps it was a telepathic connection between the two, but Shi Ming, who was trapped in the same spot, seemed to hear his junior sister's voice.
He looked up and stretched out a hand. Although they couldn't see each other, they could feel each other's heartbeats.
Luo Zai Shui suspended an explosive talisman in mid-air, extending one hand as if sensing something, while making a hand seal with the other.
On the other side, Shi Ming was making a hand seal in the same posture.
"break--"
At a command, amidst the explosions, the scene around Shi Ming shattered like a mirror image, and in the firelight, he silently met Luo Zai Shui's eyes.
The flames from the burning explosive talisman had no effect on Luo Zai Shui at all. Only when their eyes met, her eyes trembled slightly before gathering a hint of a smile.
"Senior Brother, am I not late?"
Shi Ming also smiled: "I'm not late, thank you, junior sister."
They were only a step apart, yet they naturally withdrew their hands.
"Thanks to my junior sister, I was trapped in this illusion and had no way to break free for the time being."
Luo Zai Shui smiled and shook the red string on her wrist: "Thanks to it, I was reminded that you were inside. But how did Senior Brother know my location?"
If they hadn't attacked the same spot together, she wouldn't have been able to break the illusion so quickly.
Shi Ming's ears unconsciously flushed slightly: "I guessed."
My heartbeat sensed your arrival even before I did.
