Don't be afraid, fairy, I'm blind

Chapter 409 Brave Bai Ze

You Su looked carefully and saw that the pile of translucent insect eggs was glowing faintly.

They are crowded together, some are oval, some are slightly twisted, and in the dim light, one can vaguely see tiny black shadows wriggling inside the eggs, like strange life that is about to break out of the shell.

The pure white stone tablet was abruptly wrapped in the center of the insect eggs, flashing a disgusting luster in the dim light. The insect eggs kept squirming, and a corner of the stone tablet just happened to slightly protrude from the pile of insect eggs, but was immediately filled by other insect eggs. Those insect eggs seemed to have a sense of life, constantly moving closer to the stone tablet, wrapping it more tightly. This pure white stone tablet was like a holy fairy being defiled by a bunch of disgusting leeches, which made people feel uncomfortable.

You Su was certain that this was one of the stone tablets left by the elder. These sea lice could not absorb the pure Qi contained in it, and still occupied it as a breeding ground for their offspring. These incompletely hatched eggs were actually helpless against the Qi in the stone tablet, but they showed the greedy nature of the evil spirits for Qi.

"Brother You Su, why did you react so strongly when I just said the word insertion?" Bai Ze came over and tugged at the corner of You Su's clothes, his eyes full of curiosity.

You Suben was still worried, and his mouth twitched when he heard this. He couldn't tell whether Bai Ze understood this matter or how much she understood. In short, talking about these things with a girl like this really made him feel like he was walking on thin ice.

"First, find a way to get the stone tablet." You Su said seriously.

"Oh..." Bai Ze was well-behaved and did not disturb You Su's thoughts anymore.

"Let me take a closer look."

You Su held Bai Ze's hand, signaling the girl to wait here. Bai Ze also took a few steps forward, showing her firm attitude that she would go wherever her brother went.

You Su looked back at her, and without further refusing, he took the girl's hand firmly and walked in front of her. The girl followed him timidly, with a sweet smile on her lips in the dim light.

The two men approached the pile of insect eggs cautiously, being extremely careful with every step they took, for fear of disturbing the densely packed sea lice.

However, what You Su did not expect was that this group of sea lice quickly discovered their presence!

You Su approached the group of sea lice from the side, and thought that these sea lice immersed in mating would ignore them, but he did not expect that the sea lice in this state were more vigilant than the group of sea lice in normal state in front!
First, a sea louse stopped mating, turned its head, and its small compound eyes flashed with strange red light, staring at You Su and Bai Ze. Then, more sea lice received the signal from their companions and stopped their actions, leaving You Su and Bai Ze in a situation where they were "under the watchful eyes of the public".

The entire area seemed to become quiet in an instant, with only the occasional slight wriggling sound coming from the pile of insect eggs. The atmosphere was extremely tense.

You Su secretly thought that something was wrong. The dense swarm of sea lice were rushing towards them like a tide, and their sharp spines were flashing cold light, which was frightening.

He made a prompt decision and said in a deep voice: "Run!"

As soon as he finished speaking, he pulled Bai Ze and tried to retreat. But at the moment of turning around, You Su saw from the corner of his eye that the spawning ground with the stone tablet in the distance was no longer guarded!
This group of united sea lice seemed to have an extremely strong aversion to invaders. He had an idea and a plan to break the impasse took shape in his mind!
You Su suddenly stopped where she was, tightly held Bai Ze's hand, and looked at her firmly, which made Bai Ze, who was trying to escape anxiously, a little stunned.

"Brother Yousu, let's run!"

"Bai Ze, listen to me! They came out in droves, leaving the stone tablet defense empty. This is our chance. You are wearing the necklace engraved with the miscalculation array, so it is difficult for them to detect your presence. I will lead these sea lice away, and you take the opportunity to get the stone tablet back. Be careful!"

"I?!"

Bai Ze pointed at himself with his other hand in surprise, then raised his eyes to look at the surging army of evil lice, and immediately shook his head like a rattle, "I, I can't do it! Let's run!"

After saying this, he pretended to run away.

You Su held the girl back and said solemnly:

"Escape this time will only make it more difficult to approach next time! This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity! You are Bai Ze, the nemesis of all evil, I believe in you!"

You Su's eyes were burning. Although Bai Ze had stopped shaking his head, his eyes were still somewhat hesitant. Seeing this, You Su planned to give Bai Ze a final dose of cardiac stimulant:

"Without the stone tablet, we can't leave here! Do you want to stay with me in this dark and hellish place for the rest of your life?!"

Who would have thought that when these words came out, Bai Ze's eyes lit up. The girl nodded slightly and replied:

"Yes."

You Su's expression froze immediately and he was speechless. He had never expected this answer, but the softest part of his heart was still touched.

He took a deep breath and grasped the girl's delicate wrist. "But I don't want to. Wuzhou is huge and we are still young. How can we be trapped in this place? This world is not just the white snowfields, nor is it just the darkness here. There are so many sights that you have never seen, and I have never seen them either. I want to take you to see them together."

Bai Ze pursed his rosy lips and stammered, "You didn't lie to me..."

You Su knew that he was the second person she trusted. She was afraid that she would be deceived by him just like she was deceived by Venerable Qianlong. Although she felt pain in her heart, You Su smiled and rubbed the girl's head, and answered gently:

"of course."

As soon as she finished speaking, the girl's eyes brightened completely. She raised her head and faced the evil tide, as if the approaching evil tide behind You Su was not so terrifying.

You Su suddenly felt a sense of relief in his heart, like a brother who saw his childish sister finally grow up.

"Hide first. Wait for me to lead them away for a distance, then you can strike when the opportunity arises. I believe in you."

"Then, then you must protect yourself." Bai Ze looked at You Su worriedly.

"You're still worried about me."

You Su felt more and more relieved, and he stretched out his hand as if possessed by a ghost, and subconsciously pinched Bai Ze's tender and smooth little face, with a look of doting on his face.

Bai Ze did not show any dissatisfaction towards You Su's hasty and intimate behavior. On the contrary, she showed a hint of disappointment when You Su withdrew his hand. She suddenly clenched her fist and said excitedly:

"Then I have completed the task, you have to reward me!" The pressure of the sea lice army hit You Su's back like a huge wave. They have wasted too much time. Under such urgent circumstances, You Su had no room for bargaining with Bai Ze. In fact, facing the girl who became brave because of him, You Su did not want to bargain at all.

"it is good!"

You Su drew out the Mosong Sword, and a cold light flashed on the sword. He did not look back, "The premise is that you must be alive!"

Immediately, he shouted "Hide!" and rushed into the evil tide with sword in hand.

His initiative was not to seek death, but to attract enough hatred.

As the Mosong Sword was swung, black sword energy was created, sweeping towards the sea lice like a gust of wind. The sea lice were enraged by this sudden attack and rushed towards You Su one after another.

For a moment, You Su was drowned by countless sea lice. He was seen shuttling between the swarm of sea lice, fighting and retreating, gradually moving away from the place where he and Bai Ze had stopped before. Each of his swords accurately stabbed the vital points of the sea lice, but there were too many sea lice, and new sea lice kept swarming up, trying to penetrate his defense with their sharp thorns.

Bai Ze looked at You Su who was fighting hard from a distance, with a look of deep pity in his eyes.

She took out the necklace she had tucked into her collar and held it in her hand, muttering in a low voice:

"I hope the ten thousand runes I asked you to copy weren't in vain..."

She did not hesitate, but took this opportunity to carefully approach the stone tablet. She tried to lighten her steps without slowing down, and although she was in human form, she moved like a silent kitten.

The sound of the eggs wriggling echoed in the space, making people's scalps numb. Bai Ze was uneasy, but he kept walking, forcing himself to overcome his fear.

Just as Bai Ze was about to approach the stone tablet, a sea louse lurking in the dark suddenly pounced towards her!
This sea louse seemed to be aware of Bai Ze's presence. It opened its straw-like mouthparts, revealing sharp teeth, and bit towards her with a fishy smell.

It turns out that these sea lice did not come out in droves! They had already deployed these hidden guards!
Bai Ze's heart tightened when she saw the sea lice's terrifying mouthparts. The fear made her feel like a timid kitten again. But when she thought of You Su who was still fighting hard among the sea lice, she bit her lower lip, her nails dug into her palms, and forced herself to calm her trembling mind.

She concentrated her mind and tried to mobilize most of the strength she had recovered in her body. However, under her nervousness, the ice elements that should have been at her fingertips became like frightened birds and refused to obey her orders.

Fortunately, she reacted in time and bent over to avoid the attack of sea lice.

Bai Ze took a deep breath, but there was no fear in her eyes. Instead, she was full of fighting spirit, just like an angry and stubborn girl.

She clenched her fists and angrily yelled at the evil creature that looked like a cockroach: "I didn't even want to kill you, but you really wanted to kill me!"

The sea louse, who had no idea what she was saying, waved its tentacles towards Bai Ze, which was considered a provocation by the girl.

Bai Ze glared with bright eyes, and when he saw the right moment, he swung his jade hand vigorously. A ray of ice flashing with cold light shot out like an arrow from a bow, piercing straight at the sea louse.

The sea lice were unable to dodge and were stabbed by the ice spikes. A sizzling sound was heard instantly and their bodies seemed to be corroded and turned into a pool of foul-smelling black water.

However, just as Bai Ze was feeling proud of himself for defeating this ungrateful ugly cockroach, more sea lice hiding in the darkness were alarmed and rushed towards Bai Ze from all directions like a black tide.

Bai Ze was frightened and turned pale, but he thought of You Su who did not retreat when facing sea lice that were ten times more numerous than her.

She took a deep breath and danced her palms quickly. Ice elements gathered around her frantically, and the air was filled with a biting chill.

The mastery of ice elements stems from Bai Ze's natural instinct, which is the inherent ability of the spirit of the snow mountain. Deliberate guidance will lead to inferiority, while natural expression will reveal the true meaning of the snow.

In the blink of an eye, a huge and crystal clear ice shield condensed in front of her. The sea lice were like crazy vicious dogs, crashing into the ice shield recklessly, making a series of crackling noises, and their sharp thorns pierced the ice shield, splashing strings of ice flowers, but only leaving a series of white marks.

Bai Ze gritted her teeth, her forehead was covered with fine beads of sweat, and her hands were shaking slightly because of the effort. She did not dare to slack off and concentrated on maintaining the ice shield. However, these evil spirits were fearless and kept coming one after another. It was too difficult to resist them head-on.

The girl's eyes suddenly gleamed with a gleam of light, and she remembered the strategy You Su had followed when leading her to this dark seabed, which was to fight if she couldn't hide. Now that she couldn't fight at all, she had to find a way to hide!
She immediately removed the ice shield without hesitation, and before the sea lice could react, she quickly formed seals with her hands. In an instant, a thick layer of ice surged up from the ground, spreading towards the sea lice at an extremely fast speed. The sea lice's movements were restricted by the ice, and they struggled desperately to break free. Their slender legs made a harsh sound on the ice, but they sank deeper and deeper.

Bai Ze seized the opportunity and rushed towards the pile of insect eggs like an agile cheetah. The squirming insect eggs made her feel sick and her stomach churned, as if millions of ants were gnawing at her internal organs. But she endured the discomfort and had only one thought in her mind: get the stone tablet!

She stretched out her hand, and the moment it touched the stone tablet, a stream of pure mysterious energy flowed along her arm, lifting her spirits.

"I got it!" the girl shouted excitedly.

On the other side, You Su rushed left and right among the swarm of sea lice, like a lone wolf stuck in a quagmire.

The Mosong sword in his hand danced tightly, and every swing of the sword brought up a black sword energy, sweeping towards the sea lice like a hurricane. But there were too many sea lice, pouring in continuously, seemingly endless. You Su already had several more wounds on his body, and blood stained his clothes red, dripping down the corners of his clothes, which made these sea lice look for blood and became even more crazy.

While he was struggling to fend off the attacks of the sea lice, he was also keeping an eye on Bai Ze's movements. Finally, he saw Bai Ze successfully get the signal from the stone tablet, and he was delighted. But these sea lice were like maggots on the tarsal bone, and he couldn't get rid of them no matter how hard he tried. They seemed to be extremely angry, and their attacks became more and more fierce, and their sharp thorns kept stabbing at You Su.

You Su frowned, looked around, and suddenly an idea came to his mind. He took out the first stone tablet he had obtained from his Qiankun bag, aimed at a direction and threw it hard. The stone tablet drew a very long arc and fell into the darkness in the distance.

The sea lice were extremely sensitive to the mysterious energy, and the purity of the mysterious energy in the stele was far superior to that of You Su. They sensed the aura of the stele and were no longer interested in You Su. They immediately rushed towards the direction where the stele had fallen, as if being led by an invisible hand.

You Su secretly apologized for throwing the stone tablet of his predecessor around, and quickly ran in the direction where Bai Ze was.

When Bai Ze saw You Su return safely, his eyes instantly turned red and tears welled up in his eyes.

She ran over without hesitation and threw herself into You Su's arms like a young swallow flying into the forest.

You Su also smiled as if relieved and hugged the girl tighter.
