Actually, to the fifth Hidden Spirit, a surprise even greater than delicacies was that Gu Xueluo had to go to the Great Sea as well. When he heard these words coming out of Gu Xueluo's mouth, he was so shocked that he almost sprayed rice.
”What?” I didn't hear it wrong, right? Are you really going with us to the Great Sea? ” The spirit's face was full of surprise and surprise, while his heart was filled with both expectation and worry.
”Of course it's true! When has Celestial Immortal Carefree ever spouted nonsense!?” Gu Xueluo was indifferent to the Hidden Spirit's doubts and replied with a clanging voice.
”But, you're not on the list that the six realms discussed with each other two days ago. Besides, that vast ocean is an extremely vicious place. It's not like touring the mountains and rivers.” The spirit frowned slightly. After the short moment of ecstasy, all he had left was worry.
”I went there voluntarily. I'm not on the official list anymore. No matter how dangerous it is, even you guys aren't afraid of Hanhai. Is there a need to be afraid of someone whose power is far above yours?” Gu Xueluo said arrogantly.
The spirit knew that even though Gu Xueluo was an exalted Celestial Realm's carefree and unrestrained Celestial Immortal, she was extremely willful. It was useless even if she decided to be advised by others. However, he still felt that something was amiss, so he said doubtfully, ”In this expedition to the Great Sea, the Altar of Stunning Clouds's leader, Foreign Dignitary Xin, is the leader. After all, he is an extremely respected and respected man, and if you go with him, then wouldn't he be trembling in fear and trepidation?”
Gu Xueluo giggled and indifferently said: ”Don't worry, I'm just an entourage. I won't comment or participate in any decisions, and I won't make things difficult for you.” I'll wait for you on the way tomorrow, and I'll surprise you then! ”
How could there be any surprises when the hidden spirit was hesitating? This was not a pleasant surprise at all, as every decision she made was enough to make people shudder in fear. Gu Xueluo returned to her senses and flashed out in the blink of an eye, disappearing without a trace.
It was finally time to set off, and everyone gathered at the altar. Yin Bao Scroll and Mu Wanqing had personally come to support Foreign Dignitary Xin and the fifth hidden spirit group.
As the human figures dispersed, Yin Bao Yun looked lovingly at the fifth hidden spirit. Although it was just a brief glimpse, it was filled with the complex feeling of not being able to bear to part with his beloved disciple.
Everyone continued forward and arrived at a wide path. Two figures blocked their way from the distance. Everyone looked and saw that it was clearly Gu Xueluo! Shen Jingyang! The Hidden Spirit was even more amazed. So this was the surprise Gu Xueluo spoke of yesterday.
The hidden spirit looked at Gu Xueluo and Shen Jingyang. These two were his best and most caring friends, and they had always been together less and less. He couldn't bring them safety and happiness, but now they had to go through hardships together.
When Guest Warrior Xin was about to bow to Gu Xueluo, Gu Xueluo beat him to the punch and said, ”Master Xin, all of you are brave men of the Six Realms today. I, Gu Xueluo, and this Young Hero Shen Lianyang admire you.
He only knew that the seven of them had volunteered to join in the battle, so it was a good thing that they had gained another bit of strength, and that they had added a bit of risk to it. If the two of them missed something, he could not let them down, and he smiled: ”With your help, it will be great, but other than the danger of the beasts, I hope you two will think twice before we act.”
Shen Jingyang strode forward and decisively said, ”As a member of the Six Realms, it's our duty to serve the Beastmen in Hanhai. The two of us will be willing to serve you, and that will put our lives on the line.”
Zhen Wuyi said: ”You're absolutely right. The six realms have a common goal of getting rid of beasts in the Great Sea. Everyone has a share, and it is not limited to the seven of us. We originally had very little strength, but with the help of the two of you, we became even more powerful. ” Zhen Wuyi was aware of the dangers of this trip. He originally thought that seven people were too few, but now that two idiots had come to throw their lives away, he naturally couldn't refuse.
As a result, the original group of seven was once again joined by Gu Xueluo and Shen Jingyang. The hidden spirit and the two of them walked together, walking at the back of the group. The three of them looked at each other and smiled, even though there were many dangers ahead, but they looked after each other and felt warm inside.
The next day, everyone finally arrived at the edge of the Great Sea and looked into the distance. There was a patch of silver white everywhere, and the vast snowy plains were extremely cold. High up in the sky, the snow-capped peaks intersected with the low valleys, and ravines were everywhere. Waves of cold wind whistled past, as if sharp blades were slashing across one's face. Layers after layers of pain pierced through one's bones, causing one to feel a chill run down one's spine.
The hidden spirit focused on the sea and sighed, ”This is the first time in my life that I've seen such a vast expanse of white snow. The world is filled with it.”
Shen Jingyang seemed to be full of heroic spirit as he said in a clear voice, ”That's right. The layers of snow in the Great Sea are as beautiful as a painting, yet they are so white and endless that they conceal all kinds of vicious beasts. Since ancient times, there have always been hidden dangers and evil beneath beautiful things.
Everyone immediately set out and walked into the vast sea, heading for an unknown and dangerous path. As the hidden spirits walked beside Gu Xueluo, they couldn't help but want to reach out and grab her, so that she could walk a little easier. However, they slightly opened their fingers, and no matter how tired she was walking, it was still a bit abrupt and hard to accept taking Gu Xueluo's hand.
After walking for an hour or so, perhaps she was tired. Gu Xueluo grabbed the fifth Hidden Spirit's hand and said, ”I'm so tired. Go slowly, wait for me.” When their hands were held together, the hidden spirit felt warm all over its body, as if a soft force had struck the heart and a beautiful scene had captured the soul. This experience had only occurred in dreams, but now it had become a reality.
The danger always came quietly in peace. The snowy plains were quiet. There was a vague sound of ”pu pu” coming from there. The sound was intermittent. Following that, a ”pu pu pu” sound came from far away and came closer. Everyone raised their heads in fear. Black spots flew across the silver-white sky. The black spots slowly gathered, turning into a pitch-black cloud. The cloud was dark and strange, causing a loud noise.
Everyone's face suddenly changed. Staring at the black cloud, they cried out in horror, ”Not good! It's the Flying Blood Bat!”
As soon as these words left his mouth, before the crowd could react, the black cloud quickly pressed down and rushed towards the crowd with a shrill whistling sound.
In an instant, the previously white and boundless sky turned pitch black, as if night had suddenly descended. The smell of blood filled the air, causing everyone to panic. The Guest Warrior Xin was, after all, an experienced and knowledgeable man, so he forced himself to remain calm, his eyes were wide open as he shouted: ”Everyone, do not move, quickly surround them, and do not give the Flying Blood Bat an opportunity!”
It turned out that this black mass was the Flying Blood Bat. It was the most blood-devouring wild beast apart from the poor magical beast.
After about half an incense stick of time, the dark black cloud was already pressing down on top of their heads with a deafening ”Putong! Putong!” sound. Everyone finally saw clearly what these flying blood bats looked like, each of them was several times bigger than human beings. They all had six sharp claws and wide open bloody mouths.
Everyone gathered in a circle, the weapons in their hands tightly clenched. He had never seen such a shocking scene before. He tightly held Gu Xueluo's hand and saw that Gu Xueluo was also extremely frightened. He tried his best to use his shoulder to protect Gu Xueluo's body. The Flying Blood Bat circled above his head, as if it was looking for a gap to attack.
Suddenly, a group of flying blood bats dove straight towards Dao Sha. This Flying Blood Bat was extremely intelligent. Dao Sha was the one with the weakest cultivation base among the nine of them. After circling the area a few times, the Flying Blood Bat found out about this.
