Chapter 462 Missed
"What are you doing?" Yao Shuang asked.

Li Chuan was so focused on controlling the sound of the pot that he couldn't speak.

Yao Shuang realized this, she stopped asking questions and started to feel the changes around her.

As the mist surged, shadows emerged from the fog. They were Soul Devourers. Countless Soul Devourers were clinging to the mist like water droplets.

How to do?
Li Chuan looked at Yao Shuang again. She seemed to have used some magic to drive away the mist and the devouring spirits that enveloped her.

He breathed a sigh of relief.

He had fought with the White Walker Soul Eater several times, and with the little mouse around, he wouldn't be parasitized. But he was unsure of Yao Shuang's strength, and how much she knew about the White Walker Soul Eater.

After all, even though Master Wang knew nothing about the White Walkers, he was still tricked.

Judging from Yao Shuang's situation, it is obvious that after the Xuantai Lingguang Meeting, the Xuanmen already had some means to restrain the White Walkers.

"Senior Sister Yao, I want to open the abyss of my heart, and you come to protect me." Li Chuan said.

Hearing Li Chuan's voice, Yao Shuang immediately replied: "No, this place is different from other places. If we open the Heart Abyss rashly, more Devouring Souls may emerge."

"Do you have any other ideas?" Li Chuan asked.

"Let's leave here first." Yao Shuang said, and her hands quickly made marks again, and the light of the spell reflected in Li Chuan's eyes.

"Go into the book."

Li Chuan suddenly heard a voice. He was stunned for a moment, and then the voice sounded in his mind again, "Li Chuan, go into the book, hurry up!"

It was the sound of a little mouse.

Li Chuan did not hesitate. He repeated the mouse's words to Yao Shuang: "Go to the book, quickly!"

Yao Shuang gave him a puzzled look.

Li Chuan said firmly: "The way out is there, believe me, I saw it."

After saying that, he looked in the direction of the book. His eyes suddenly widened. The twisting runes on the book were all soul-devouring.

"I'll try to see if I can dig it out." Before Yao Shuang finished her words, a black shovel appeared in her hand. Before Li Chuan could react, she started digging at the page of the book with the shovel.

The lines extended from the shovel head, and the soul-devouring particles on the pages fell down, one shovel after another, and a black vortex emerged on the pages.

Yao Shuang reached out and caught the spinning shovel. She jumped upwards and instantly was submerged in the whirlpool.

Li Chuan watched the vortex gradually shrink and immediately shouted, "Take me with you, Senior Sister Yao!"

The vortex stagnated.

A black shovel suddenly appeared in front of Li Chuan. Li Chuan grabbed it with both hands without hesitation. After a dizzying spin, he landed on solid ground.

He looked around and found that he was in an extremely narrow tunnel. He took out the butterfly spirit and, with the light of the full moon, saw Yao Shuang standing not far in front of him with a black shovel in his hand.

"Where is this? Is it in the book?" Li Chuan asked.

"It's the space I dug out." Yao Shuang answered. She explained, "This is a spell. You can also think of it as a field. As long as you keep digging forward, you will eventually dig out." She paused and said, "Which direction should I dig now?"

"Let me take a look," Li Chuan said. He then asked, "Where is Taoist Master Wen? Can you find him?"

"No." Yao Shuang said.

"Let me take a closer look," Li Chuan said, and then he looked around intently. At the same time, he silently recited the word "little mouse" three times in his heart. As soon as he recited it once, the voice of the little mouse sounded in his mind.

"Hurry up!" said the little mouse.

"Where are we going? Please be clear. And what is the current situation? Tell me quickly." Li Chuan asked in his heart.

"You ask me? I was scared awake by you, okay?" the little mouse complained. "Okay, okay, you tell me where you're going first, and when we get out, I'll treat you to a good meal to make amends for you." Li Chuan said.

"Go southeast, the gate of life is in the southeast. Go straight, don't take a detour." said the little mouse.

Who knows which is east and which is south now? Li Chuan complained in his heart, but said, "Go straight to the southeast. Don't take any detours."

"I understand." Yao Shuang said, turned around and started digging.

The monks have a good sense of direction.

Afterwards, Li Chuan followed Yao Shuang and walked forward along the tunnel she had dug.

During this time, he also asked the little mouse in his heart what their current situation was. The little mouse said that he didn't know either. He could only feel that if he wanted to get out alive, he could only keep going southeast.

Li Chuan could only walk and observe the situation around him.

He saw the truth of the tunnel. When Yao Shuang dug with a shovel, a space constructed by multiple barrier seals was formed, and this space kept moving forward.

After realizing this, Li Chuan stopped. As expected, as long as he was inside, he would follow forward.

After Yao Shuang dug forward for a while, he suddenly stopped.

"What's wrong?" Li Chuan asked.

"Can't we go around it?" Yao Shuang confirmed with Li Chuan again.

"No." Li Chuan said.

"Okay." Yao Shuang started digging again.

Li Chuan felt that the tunnel became smaller and many holes appeared in the space constructed by magic.

Yao Shuang ignored the holes and just moved the tunnel forward faster.

Li Chuan suddenly had a strange feeling. He followed the feeling and took a step to the side. Before he stood still, he felt something brushing against his arm. He looked down and saw a dark gray withered vine coming out of the hole and into the tunnel.

He looked elsewhere and saw about a dozen dead vines coming out of different holes, intertwining with each other, and constantly expanding the holes.

Fortunately, he was wearing a cloak and was not scratched.

The black light flashed a few times on the dead vines, and all the vines turned into fragments and fell to the ground.

The space becomes smaller and the void is suppressed.

Li Chuan felt that his head was above the tunnel. If there were more vines like this, he would have nowhere to hide.

He looked at Yao Shuang. She stood steadily, and the black shovel kept flying around her.

He retracted his gaze and continued to observe this magic space. If he could fill up these holes, would it be able to relieve some of Yao Shuang's pressure? Thinking this way, he began to analyze the structure of the space. After looking at it for a while, he gave up.

The structure was too complicated and was constantly changing. Yao Shuang would occasionally make some strange patches on it. It would take at least half a month to figure it out.

Moreover, his own condition was not good. The pills Yao Shuang gave him only slightly restored his spirits. If he indulged himself again, he would not last more than a quarter of an hour.

If he goes out like this, he will have to lie down.

But... but he can cover this space with something, such as Yuansi...

He already knew the structure of Yuansi by heart.

Li Chuan rubbed the Tianyin pot again.

He picked up a beam of light from the ripples, and the deep thread slid down from his hands and then stretched out along the hole.
