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

Chapter 421 Go upstream!

You Su held Bai Ze's hand tightly, and the two of them carefully navigated through the reefs on the seabed.

The surrounding sea water seemed to be stirred by some invisible force, becoming extremely turbid yet clear.

The turbidity is due to low visibility, but the clarity is because in such a dark environment, any light becomes particularly eye-catching.

Before their eyes, the huge vortex was like a black hole that swallowed everything, emitting a chilling glow.

You Su's pupils shrank into needle points in the dim light of the vortex - a funnel-shaped whirlpool gradually emerged in the inky waters, and those twisted shadows were not reefs at all, but layers of chelicerae wriggling at the bottom of the vortex, and the sound of the friction between the shells was like thousands of rusty knives scraping bones.

The entire seabed was resounding with the subtle opening and closing sounds of countless shellfish. Countless strange-looking monsters covered in dim light poured out from the cracks in the rocks and merged into a galaxy towards the whirlpool.

Bai Ze's fingertips almost pinched into his flesh. The coral reefs cast mottled shadows over the two of them, cutting their breathing into pieces.

"Just like an ant..." Bai Ze's whisper trembled.

You Su's Adam's apple rolled as he swallowed the salty taste. "More like locusts. When a locust plague passes through, the whole sky is filled with this rustling sound."

Those crustaceans were gathering towards the center of the vortex in a strange rhythm, and the protruding bone spurs on their carapaces outlined a spiral trajectory in the undercurrent.

You Su suddenly realized that this was not a disorderly migration - the pace of each evil spirit precisely matched the rhythm of the vortex, as if they were being pulled by invisible threads to dance a sacrificial dance.

"What are they doing...?" Bai Ze's breath sprayed behind You Su's ear, causing a series of shivers.

You Su shook his head, "Me too..."

Before he finished his words, a blinding blood light suddenly burst out from the depths of the vortex.

Tens of thousands of evil spirits raised their claws at the same time, and sticky scarlet liquid oozed out of the cracks in their shells. The liquid did not drift away with the undercurrent, but instead gathered into a huge blood cocoon in the center of the vortex. You Su's temple throbbed, and Zhenzhu felt a burning pain in his left eye - he saw densely packed compound eye patterns protruding from the surface of the blood cocoon.

Bai Ze covered his mouth and nose tightly, both because of fear and because the scene was too disgusting.

The compound eye patterns were breathing, and every time they contracted, thick black mist gushed out. The moment the nearest evil spirit touched the black mist, its shell instantly melted into boiling pus, but was greedily sucked into the blood cocoon just as it was about to disintegrate. You Su finally understood why these evil spirits were willing to die - they were sacrifices.

"They are using their own deaths to condense into this vortex!" You Su's heart trembled violently.

Bai Ze's pupils widened when he heard that, and he stood there in a daze, seemingly frightened out of his wits.

You Su glanced at her expression and thought to himself that such a strange scene was enough to break anyone's will, and it was quite good that Bai Ze was still standing.

If he had not experienced so much and was just a fledgling swordsman who was determined to eliminate evil and defend the way, he would probably have been scared to death when he saw such a scene.

These strange sounds created a strong and uneasy atmosphere. You Su grabbed Bai Ze's hand and said, "Don't be afraid. Let's hide first."

Although You Su's voice was calm, Bai Ze could hear the tension in it.

They can notice these evil spirits like locusts, but there is no guarantee that the evil spirits will not notice them. After all, not all evil spirits will ignore them like the colorful jellyfish.

You Su and Bai Ze quickly hid in a hidden cave. It was called a cave, but in fact it was just a gap between two huge reefs. But for the two people's figures, it was indeed difficult to be spotted with the naked eye from the outside.

However, the small space made the strange noises echo more continuously, like the sound of Sanskrit that was taking one's life.

You Su held the girl, who was curled up in fear, in his arms as a silent comfort, while Bai Ze took the opportunity to lay his little head against his neck and snuggled up to her.

Looking out through the cracks in the reef, one can see strange evil spirits gathering from all directions. Even though one cannot see their specific appearance, one can still feel physical disgust from the disgusting stench that permeates the air.

"I'm afraid that senior's speculation is correct..." You Su's eyes were fixed on the horrifying scene at the bottom of the vortex.

"Are they going to follow this vortex and attack inland..." Bai Ze's voice was unexpectedly soft, as if he also realized the seriousness of the situation.

You Suqing hummed. From the scene of all kinds of evil coming, he could basically conclude that this underwater vortex was the means by which the evil spirits secretly invaded the inland!
“Could it be that our home is gone before we even get home…?” The girl buried her face in You Su’s shoulder in fear, with the corner of her lips almost touching the side of You Su’s neck.

"Will not……"

You Su answered in a low voice, not caring about these overstepping beauties. Those self-deceiving brother-sister games could not distract him from the real big things. Or perhaps he had already acquiesced in his heart that the relationship between him and this stupid cat would gradually deteriorate, so he was too lazy to distract himself and pretend to be reserved as he was wholeheartedly concerned about the vortex.

At this moment, even if a naked beautiful woman danced in front of him, it could not distract his attention. All he could see were those weak leech-like evil spirits sacrificing their lives one after another in order to activate this vortex, while those evil spirits that could pose a threat to humans gathered here, waiting for the right opportunity to go upstream and tear a shocking rift in the human world!

The clear division of labor among these evil creatures was like an army, and their intelligence deeply shocked You Su. The feeling of uneasiness in his heart was as thick as ink. When he first saw the vortex, his first reaction was to retreat with Bai Ze. After all, this was not a place for humans to stay. However, realizing the horror of this disaster, he clenched his fists even tighter.

He must bring this information to shore, otherwise all five continents will be in danger!
"Brother, what should we do?" There was a hint of anxiety in Bai Ze's voice. She held You Su's hand tightly, as if it was her only support.

You Su took a deep breath, and a hint of determination flashed in his eyes:
"We must blend into the vortex and find a way to return to the ground. The creatures of the Five Continents are living too comfortably under the protection of the Divine Brilliance Stone. If we fail to inform the Divine Mountain of this news in time, this sneak attack will surely cause great devastation to all the people!"

Bai Ze was stunned when he heard this, then he held You Su's hand tightly and gave his answer.

"what!!"

Bai Ze suddenly screamed in fear and quickly covered his mouth.

Her eyes flickered with fear, and the crack they used to spy on the outside world turned dark, and the next moment, it suddenly turned into an evil vertical eye!

You Su was so frightened that his heartbeat slowed down and he even forgot to breathe, but he still instinctively grasped the hilt of the sword and protected the girl behind him.

The eyeball was as big as a person, its pupil was upright, and its nictitating membrane was flickering, as if it was spying on the existence in the narrow crack.

In the narrow and dark space, only the sound of the two people's heartbeats was like the beating of drums. They didn't move at all and didn't even dare to breathe.

However, to You Su's surprise, the owner of the vertical pupil seemed not to notice them. After a moment, he retracted his eyes and left quietly.

The seabed was chilly and two drops of sweat had already dripped down You Su's forehead. He and Bai Ze looked at each other, and then they both gasped in fear.

But after just a few breaths, You Su suddenly grabbed Bai Ze's wrist, "Step back!" He pulled Bai Ze into his arms, but his back suddenly touched something sticky.

The dark space suddenly lit up, and Bai Ze discovered that the stone wall was covered with dense egg sacs, which emitted a dark blue glow, and curled limbs were vaguely visible under the translucent film. At this time, they all lit up, like a sea of ​​fireflies in summer.

Bai Ze's scream got stuck in her throat, and she trembled and pointed upward. Groups of colorful jellyfish were pouring in from the passage they came from, and the fluorescent patterns on the umbrella cover were now pieced together into a distorted human face. The tentacles that should have been dull suddenly straightened like steel needles and pointed in the direction of the hiding cave.

You Su acted decisively, and the moment he rolled out of the crevice holding Bai Ze, the Mosong sword was already filled with a sharp cold light.

He knelt against the jagged rocks, the tip of his sword drawing a half crescent in the darkness—

The sword energy hovered in front of the umbrella cap of the colorful jellyfish.

Those poisonous tentacles swept straight over the two men's heads, rushing towards the depths of the vortex like a flowing river of stars.

The tip of You Su's sword trembled slightly, and he realized that the target of these colorful jellyfish was not them, but the tall and skinny monster beside them.

It was as if an electric current flashed through his mind. Although it was just a quick glance, he recognized that this skinny and huge evil spirit was 70% similar to the young in the fluorescent egg sac just now. So it was not looking at him and Bai Ze... It was checking its own children before leaving!

You Su looked around and felt as if all the evil spirits in the entire sea were converging towards the whirlpool!
The three-eyed toad kicked its rotten webbed feet, the strange fish with bony spurs swung its bony tail, and even the swarm of sea lice that had saved their lives earlier surged in like a black tide...

However, no evil spirit attacked them.

"They... can't see us?" Bai Ze's voice trembled. She was so unbelievable that she even doubted her own eyes.

A crab-shaped evil spirit covered with pustules was crawling past them, its claws almost brushing against Bai Ze's skirt.

You Su's Adam's apple rolled and his palms were sweating, but he still bit the tip of his tongue and forced himself to calm down, because he believed that everything happened for a reason.

They were originally mortal monks coveted by thousands of evil spirits. When did they become completely uninteresting to the evil spirits?
It all started with meeting those jellyfish!
You Su quickly focused his attention on these colorful jellyfish, and soon had new questions.

These colorful jellyfish are not aggressive unless they are touched, but with so many powerful evil spirits to feed on, why do they still run away? And these evil spirits that are about to go to the human world to kill want to drive them back like sheep?

You Su stared deeply, noticing that the evil spirits were covered with colorful jellyfish on their bodies or in their cracks. The translucent tentacles penetrated deeply into the flesh, and the venom flowed through the meridians, forming dark blue veins.

Memories split the chaos like lightning - he slightly pulled open her collar under Bai Ze's surprised gaze, and the remaining poisonous spots on Bai Ze's shoulders were glowing with the same glimmer as jellyfish.

"It's not that they can't see..." You Su retracted his hand and carefully straightened Bai Ze's collar. "If I'm not mistaken, the poison of this jellyfish is more than just paralysis. I'm afraid that before the toxin is completely digested, we will no longer be prey in their eyes, but our own kind..."

You Su, who learned that he possessed the power of God, never thought that there would be a day when he would be contaminated by evil spirits. This seemingly weak jellyfish actually had the ability to make God drink two pots of wine.

But Allah is Allah. The evil spirit in the jellyfish poison may contaminate them temporarily, but it will be suppressed and digested like the evil spirits that tried to contaminate him before.

But at least in the meantime... they can get away with it with this evil spirit!
A sharp hissing suddenly erupted from the center of the vortex, and the compound eye patterns on the surface of the blood cocoon opened at the same time. You Su's temples throbbed, and Zhenzhu's left eye felt like it was burning. He saw countless scarlet beams of light piercing through the sea water, weaving a giant net in the void that covered the five continents.

"hold me."

He turned around and put Bai Ze's hand on his waist, and finally laughed.

In the midst of the evil tide, the young man's smile is like a ray of light that illuminates the dark night.

Bai Ze was lost in thought. The moment she saw this smile, it seemed that she no longer had to worry about whether the end of this vortex was the world of the living, or whether they could survive. She only needed to hold the smiling boy tightly, and he would definitely lead her out of the dead.

Bai Ze understood what he meant and supported You Su's waist and jumped lightly, while You Su held her legs steadily.

You Su took out the water-repellent bead and put it in his mouth. An invisible membrane wrapped around his and Bai Ze's bodies.

"Let's go home."

You Su lightened his body, and the evil torrent swept them towards the bloody vortex, rotting limbs and smelly mucus brushing past them.

Bai Ze's skirt was torn by the poisonous mist, and her exposed calves were soon covered with spider-web-like black lines, but she bit her lip and said nothing. You Su's scabbard hit the reef heavily, using the force to push the two into the most turbulent undercurrent -

In an instant the world was spinning.

The seawater squeezed against the eardrums, creating a thunderous roar. Thousands of evil bodies collided and shattered in the whirlpool. You Su pressed Bai Ze's head into his arms, holding the Mosong sword across his chest to block the flying bone spurs. The shells that were crushed into powder glowed with phosphorescence, like a galaxy leading to hell.

And this is not even the center of the vortex.

You Su finally understood why these evil spirits needed these colorful jellyfish to attach to their bodies. Because if they didn't paralyze themselves, they couldn't bear the pain that was like shattering space. Fortunately, they had the water-repellent beads that could create a unique space, so the impact was much reduced when it reached them.

Just before being completely sucked into the whirlpool, You Su looked downward and saw the blood cocoon cracking under his feet, with sticky liquid pouring down like a waterfall.

You Su's pupils suddenly contracted: curled up in the cocoon was a half-human, half-skull monster, its nine tail fins were studded with skulls, and seven dried human hands grew on its chest and abdomen. When it opened its third vertical pupil, You Su felt the blood in his body freeze.

For some reason he had a strong intuition rushing straight to his brain, he felt that this was not an evil spirit, but a person.

The light spot at the end of the vortex was rapidly expanding, and You Su's back hit the skeleton of a giant creature. He used the recoil to grab the edges of the giant creature, like grabbing a tree trunk in the turbulent water.

"Remember to breathe! It's coming!"

He growled into Bai Ze's earlobe.

"Ok!"

Bai Ze also responded heavily.

In this torrent, they are like duckweed, only in this way can they hear each other's voices.
