"No kidding, I'm serious." Mo Zhiyu looked at her with a serious face.

Yun Shi only looked at him indifferently and didn't want to speak, but her heart was surging at the moment, and it seemed that because of the appearance of Mo Zhiyu, the demons in her heart began to attack wildly, so that she couldn't walk or stand now.

Then, she pulled her back into a strong chest, and the man's deep voice rang in her ears: "I'm sorry, I didn't protect you." ”

The voice was incomparably gentle, almost softening her whole heart, and she felt that her throat was a little choked inexplicably, and her emotions had accumulated to this point. But she didn't break out after all, just patted him on the back slightly, responded to the hug, and said very gently: "I'm fine, we will all be safe." ”

"Yes, we'll be safe." Mo Zhiyu let go of her, "The secret passage here has been discovered by them, let's leave here first, do you still have the strength?" I'll carry you. ”

Yun Shi nodded slightly, and Mo Zhiyu was about to turn around and squat, but at this moment, Yun Shi noticed the blood stains on his waist, clenched his shoulders slightly, and asked with concern, "Why are you so embarrassed?" ”

"Addicted to the game, I misremembered the password." Mo Zhi said with a grin.

"No kidding you." Yun Shi frowned dissatisfiedly.

"Don't worry, it's okay." Mo Zhi smirked and squatted on the ground with his back to him, "Let's go, it's not like you who procrastinates." ”

Mo Zhiyu's words reminded Yun Shi that unconsciously, she had already begun to be led away by her emotions. So she said no more, and leaned silently on his back, letting him carry it.

Mo Zhiyu picked up Yun Shi and walked out of the bend again, and then Yun Shi saw that the person who fell to the ground under the entrance of the cave here should be the one who went to call people just now, but these people were all solved by Mo Zhiyu. But this passage had also been completely exposed, and it was impossible for them to get out of here, so Mo Zhiyu fled from another passage with Yun Shi on his back.

The tunnels here lead in all directions, and as soon as they run out of this passage, they encounter a fork in the road not far away. But this time, with Yun Shi present, she recognized the lines on these rock walls, and was able to roughly judge the direction of the passage here, and easily pointed out the way for Mo Zhiyu to leave.

After the two of them confirmed that they were far away from the place where the Hongtian Sect had gathered, Mo Zhiyu took out the torches and flints he had picked up before, handed them to Yun Shi, and let Yun Shi light them, and the two of them continued to move forward with the help of this faint firelight. With the firelight finding their way, the two no longer had to get close to the rock wall to identify the lines on the rock wall, and the speed was at least twice as fast.

It's just that Mo Zhiyu doesn't have the blessing of Yuan Li now, and he can't always maintain sufficient physical strength, so his speed has also slowed down, and on the way to escape, Mo Zhiyu told Yun Shi about the strange looks he saw before.

"You say, what kind of power can kill so many people in one night without leaving a trace?" Mo Zhi asked.

Yun Shi pondered for a moment, thinking, and then said: "This situation is unheard of, but according to some untrustworthy miscellaneous records of the people, there is a kind of magic power that can kill people invisibly?" ”

"What's the intangible?" Mo Zhiyu continued to ask.

"According to the book, this kind of magical power is generally hidden in the body of some people with special abilities, and once it erupts, it is like a flash flood, which will engulf everything around it in an instant, absorbing the life force of everything." Yun Shi said, "The apparent characteristic of this phenomenon is that the trees will wither, and people will become white bones, but there will be no traces after that, because the magic power is invisible." ”

"Sounds like a fox demon sucking a man's essence?" Mo Zhi thought about it for a long time before he came up with such a metaphor.

"Actually, it's pretty much the same," Yun Shi replied indifferently, "This kind of wild monster was originally popular in the North Continent, and it will be more or less related to the fox clan. However, the authentic fox clan disdains to absorb the essence of the human race, because they think that human beings are turbid, and the essence is naturally impure, and it is not as reliable as absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon.

However, as the aura of heaven and earth is getting thinner and thinner, simply absorbing the essence of the sun and the moon can no longer meet the rapid growth of cultivation, and some demon cultivators and mountain spirits and wild monsters who have gone astray will adopt the method of sucking people's essence and blood. But this method is generally very clumsy, and often leaves obvious traces, and it is impossible to be as silent as witchcraft. ”

"So you say that there was once a person with a huge amount of magical power here, and this person engulfed the entire island when the magic power exploded?" Mo Zhiyu guessed, "I saw a lot of human bones along the way, with that hidden port being the most, and then there were some scattered in the passage, and it felt like all the people were fleeing for their lives over there." When we got here, there were basically no human bones in sight. You say, did the old papacy perish like this? ”

"It seems very likely." Yun Shi was also thinking, "But according to some notes from his travels in the South China Sea, the islands between this 'Broken Islands' are not too far apart, if the old Holy See is based here, the sphere of influence should be limited to more than one island, unless there is no one else, otherwise it will not be able to confirm the conclusion you said." ”

"In short, there is no one in this place now, and these tunnels and houses have been idle for hundreds of years." Mo Zhiyu finally came to this conclusion.

Soon, the two of them walked out of the tunnel and came to the top of a mountain. Once here, it is obvious that you are already in the inland center of the island, because it is full of dense woods, and there is no seaside harbor in sight.

Before the Hongtian Sect could follow, Mo Zhiyu found a hidden place to rest near here. He put Yun Shi under the tree, and then pulled out a pile of meson bags from his clothes.

"I walked too fast before, and I didn't even have time to see what these guys were carrying." Mo Zhiyu said, and began to take the contents of the meson bag and check it. After turning over some ordinary medical bandages and external application powder, and then turning over some dry food and water bags, he handed them to Yun Shi and asked her to eat them first to replenish her strength.

After that, he turned out some pills, but these pills all had a bloody smell, and at first glance they were the kind of self-produced and self-sold things of the Hongtian Sect, they must not touch them, of course, they should lose them, and some other miscellaneous things were also thrown away, so that almost half of them were lost, and the remaining half were some useful tools and Yuanli crystals.
