"Click..."

The sound of shoe soles stepping on stones echoed in the dark cave. Bai Qiyun carefully used the lumen stone on his body to explore the tunnel in front of him.

It had been some time since they had separated. He and Shen He were heading to the east of the mine, while Ying and Beidou were exploring towards the west.

After advancing for a while, a hidden tunnel suddenly appeared in front of the two of them. It looked like it should be the passage dug by the miners with tools.

The further we walked, the stronger the smell of monsters became, and the traces of the presence of people in Qiuqiu became quite obvious.

In addition, some filth has gradually become visible everywhere.

Although this kind of small-scale filth has no pollution ability, it will automatically dissipate when it comes into contact with the light emitted unintentionally by the Lumen Stone. It seems to be a weakened version of the 'sludge' that Jinwu and the others call it.

Bai Qiyun knew that if they continued to move forward, this filth would become more and more abundant, eventually forming sludge in their mouths.

When he thought that he was about to come into contact with something that was neither divine nor ghostly, Bai Qiyun felt like there were ten thousand ants crawling on his body.

Shen He was still following the young man expressionlessly, but at some point, half of the red rope tied to her body had been loosened, leaving only the loose half still tied to her body.

"Forehead..."

While walking, Bai Qiyun suddenly stopped.

In front of him, the road originally dug by the miners had disappeared, replaced by a towering cliff, and one step ahead was an abyss.

It seems that those workers stopped digging because of this.

"What should I do now?"

Looking at the dark stone walls around him, Bai Qiyun scratched his head, not knowing what to do next.

Should we go back the way we came, or should we risk the danger to find out?

"Um..."

Just as he was thinking, a sound of Shen He's breathing came from behind him, causing him to look back.

Shen He's originally fair face was filled with blood. She pursed her red lips and furrowed her eyebrows together, looking very uncomfortable.

"Shen He? What's wrong with you?"

Seeing this, Bai Qiyun quickly took Shen He into the tunnel at the rear. After all, it was too dangerous to lean against the cliff.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his hand touched Shen He's exposed skin, something unexpected happened.

Shen He was shocked, and the half of the red rope that was still behind him fell off. The gasping sound that was still suppressed before gradually became louder. In this quiet place, you could even hear a pin drop.

The place was so obvious to Bai Qiyun's ears.

"Ha ha...."

The woman held onto the wall and threw away the boy's arm.

Shen He's face, which had always been calm and composed, was now filled with discomfort, and his plump figure was constantly trembling under his breath.

Bai Qiyun, who was in such a strange situation, didn't know what to do, so he had to focus on Yan Duola beside him to see if she had any good ideas.

"Be careful, her condition is very strange."

The little guy took a quick glance and discovered that the elemental power in Shen He's body had reached the edge of imbalance. If it was not dealt with, his life would be in danger.

But before that, if the two of them don't deal with it on their own, they may be the ones whose lives are in danger.

"Uh...ah..."

Gradually, Shen He's gasping sounds turned into a roar that suppressed his own instincts.

Although her voice still sounded less hoarse because of her ethereal voice, the hairs on Bai Qiyun's back stood up little by little.

At this moment, he felt as if he was being targeted by a tiger in the forest.

"Shen He, what's wrong with you?"

While using words to test the opponent's situation, Bai Qiyun put on pure water weapons and prepared to deal with threats from his teammates.

It's really too bad to encounter such evil things just after entering the rock abyss.

Bai Qiyun secretly clicked his tongue, but the movements of his hands were not slow at all.

Although there was no official fight, Shen He, as the operator of the ice-attribute Eye of God, restrained him in terms of attributes. Bai Qiyun had to treat it with caution. Even the star silver buried in the snow was pulled out by him and turned into a handle.

The spear is in his hand.

Shen He on the side didn't seem to hear the young man's cry. He still leaned against the wall with a troubled face, his hands on his head, and he continued to pour ice cold power into his body in an attempt to calm himself down.

But the more she did this, the more the balance in her body was pushed to the edge of imbalance.

Sure enough, after a few breaths, she finally couldn't suppress the balance inside her body, and her whole expression became frantic and collapsed.

"Ahhhhh!"

The woman's whole body was shaken, and the extremely powerful icy power burst out through her skin to the outside world. The wind and snow filled the sky around her, turning the surrounding stone walls into ice walls.

Bai Qiyun could only open his elemental shield to block the cold wave in front of him.

In the heavy snow, the woman's eyes were stained with a hint of scarlet, and she seemed to have completely lost her mind.

The red rope that had been used to restrain her was stepped on by her feet and sank into the soil.

Shen He in the snow is like a nimble leopard, jumping back and forth on the rock wall.

His vision was obscured by heavy snow, so Bai Qiyun had no choice but to turn on his elemental vision to observe the opponent's movements.

The woman suddenly accelerated and rushed straight towards the boy's location. Bai Qiyun quickly controlled his elemental power to meet the enemy.

The moment water and ice met, Bai Qiyun thought it would be an earth-shattering showdown, but he never expected that Shen He would stop moving the moment he touched him.

The woman rested her head on the boy's chest, closed her eyes and panted.

The originally unbalanced body was gradually returning to its previous state at this time.

What is going on? Is it possible that he still has a strange power that can help people recover?

Although Bai Qiyun was surprised in his heart, he did not dare to make too many moves, for fear that he would break this hard-won balance.

Gradually, Shen He's breathing became calmer, and his whole body stopped shaking. Although there was a slightly confused look on his face, the previous mania had disappeared.

At least he looks more like a normal person now. What was he before, a berserker?

Bai Qiyun shook his head and threw the unrealistic fantasy out of his mind.

After Shen He's condition returned to stability, he gently lifted Shen He's arms and helped her sit down on a stone beside her.

After a while, Shen He opened his eyes, and his blue-white pupils showed a little confusion and a trace of panic.

What had she done before, and how could she be like this?

"feel better now?"

Taking advantage of Shen He's slight recovery of strength, Bai Qiyun picked her up and retreated into the tunnel that had not been invaded by the ice element.

Looking at Shen He who had returned to normal before his eyes, Bai Qiyun couldn't help but reveal a trace of concern in his voice.

There was no way, in this dark place, the safety of every teammate was very important, not to mention that something like this happened just after entering the mine, he couldn't even care less.

During the transportation process, he also discovered an interesting phenomenon, that is, if Shen He had physical contact with him, his breathing would be smooth and smooth, and if not, his breathing would be abnormally rapid.

So in order to make Shen He return to normal as soon as possible, Bai Qiyun is holding her hand and looking at her.

Although it was not his intention to have too much physical contact with his employees, there is no other way now.

The young man's concerned voice rang in his ears. Shen He let out a long breath, suppressed the throbbing in his heart, and returned to his previous calm and gentle appearance under Bai Qiyun's gaze.

"about there."

Shen He straightened up and moved his waist. He found that there was no excessive discomfort in his body and the elements in his body had regained their balance.

She looked around with a pair of phoenix eyes, and finally found the red rope that had fallen down in a place in the soil, and quickly walked over to pick it up.

"This is..."

Seeing the woman's incomprehensible movements, Bai Qiyun scratched his head.

Do you have to pick up a rope covered with dirt? Isn't it a bit too diligent and frugal?

"Sorry to make you laugh, this thing was actually given to me by the master."

Having said this, Shen He hesitated for a moment, not knowing whether he should say it or not.

After struggling in her heart for a while, she decided to tell everything about herself.

"Actually, I have had a little problem with my destiny since I was a child, so my master used this red rope to bind my destiny to avoid causing any harm to other people. When I stepped into this place just now, there was some kind of power affecting it.

I felt the dark side of my life, and the red rope failed to suppress it, so that’s why the scene just happened, I’m sorry.”

Although this is true, the red rope is still a tool of the Immortal family after all. The reason why it cannot be suppressed is naturally not only the problem of the layered rock abyss, but also part of the reason is that the Immortal Power expended when activating the first floor of the sky was somewhat

many.

Even the magic power consumed to activate it shook Shen He's own foundation and made her body's balance slightly unstable. This was only due to the influence of the layered rock abyss.

It's just that Shen He didn't want the young man in front of him to know about this. After all, it was Bai Qiyun who asked her to activate the pavilion. If he knew about it, he would probably fall into meaningless self-blame again. This would be very difficult for them now.

It's not a good thing for both of them.
