“You, you’re going too far! A man can be killed but not humiliated. I’ll fight you—”
The big guy was p.r.o.ne to anger. He had already lost control a little. He stared at Su Xiaolu with bloodshot eyes and was about to fight her to the death when his body was pulled. A hand stroked his head and his brother said, “Tao, sit down.”
!!
He stood up and cupped his hands at Su Xiaolu. “Miss, don’t be angry. I’m Huang Zheng. My brother, Huang Tao, has been irritable and impulsive since he was young. He can’t be provoked and has suffered a lot over the years. If you want to know the reason, I’ll explain.”
Huang Zheng’s smooth strokes were very useful to Huang Tao. Huang Tao obediently sat down.
Only then did Huang Zheng say to Su Xiaolu, “Miss, it’s like this…”
The matter was actually not complicated. It was just that all of them would definitely pa.s.s through this area and not be able to leave. No matter how they walked, they would return to their original spot.
Every night, one person would disappear silently. They naturally knew that it was a monster, but they could not find this monster.
They were all people who had walked into this area. No matter how powerful they were, they could not walk out.
In the beginning, everyone had also gathered together to try. They thought that it was an array formation, but no matter what, they could not find the eye of the array. The one who had been trapped for the longest had been here for two months. That was when this foreign land’s secret realm was discovered.
No one could stop people from disappearing, so the more people came in, the higher their chance of survival.
After Huang Zheng finished explaining, he even cupped his hands politely.
“Miss, that’s what happened. If you don’t believe me, you can walk a few more times and see if you’ll return to square one. Anyway, we’ve been tired recently and don’t want to cause trouble anymore. We want to rest for a few days.”
After saying that, Huang Zheng bowed seriously. “Miss, my brother was short-sighted and angered you last time. You’ve also taught him a lesson. I hope you won’t hold a grudge. In the future, I’ll definitely discipline my brother more if he can survive.”
Su Xiaolu waved her hand lightly. “We’ll settle the score this time. If he doesn’t provoke me, I naturally wont do anything to him. As for whether what you said is true, I’ll have to see for myself. I’ll try, but if you lie to me, you can only hope that you won’t see me again.”
Huang Zheng hurriedly nodded. “Of course. Thank you for your magnanimity, Miss.”
Su Xiaolu was about to return to Zhou Zhi’S side when she suddenly remembered something. She stopped and turned around. Huang Zheng’s relaxed expression froze on his face and he was a little nervous. “Miss, is there anything else?”
“What’s with your injuries?”
Su Xiaolu asked. She and Zhou Zhi walked over safely. They had never even encountered a ferocious beast, but these people’s clothes were a little tattered, as if they had been attacked.
Huang Zheng sighed. “I was bitten by a snake. There are many poisonous snakes here, and they’re all strong. No matter how careful we were, there were times when we couldn’t guard against them. Some poisons are difficult to clear, so everyone ended up like this.”
If not for his advanced cultivation, he would have been bitten to death by a poisonous snake.
After asking, Su Xiaolu returned to Zhou Zhi’S side.
Zhou Zhi took out food and gave it to Su Xiaolu. “Xiaolu, eat something.”
Su Xiaolu took it and the two of them ate slowly. After eating, they got up and continued walking. This time, it was a test and a verification.
It was still daytime, so they could verify it.
They kept going forward. They could still see the mountain peaks in front of them. There were no turns or forks in the road. In the end, they returned to the starting point and saw that group of people again.
The group of people was not surprised to see them return. This was what they had expected. They were even a little disappointed to see them return. They really could not get out.
The sky was black in this strange foreign land. What kind of place was this? Not a blade of gra.s.s grew here. The only kind of plant that could be seen was also black, looking like a pile of withered gra.s.s.
When Su Xiaolu and the others returned this time, it was even darker.
The two of them found a place to rest. Zhou Zhi took out a wooden bed for Su Xiaolu to lie on. With the meson s.p.a.ce, these were very convenient.
Zhou Zhi slept on the wooden chair and guarded Su Xiaolu.
When they took out these two things, many people looked at them. How rare was a meson s.p.a.ce? They actually used it to store such useless things. It was really a waste of natural resources.
After nightfall, everything was quiet. There was spiritual energy in the air, and there was a faint fragrance of supreme treasures.
Su Xiaolu focused and prepared to keep watch at night to see the situation. She released her five senses and the cold and humid aura around her became even more obvious, but there seemed to be an invisible wall blocking the way.
She gradually became confused. In a daze, Su Xiaolu heard someone calling her.
She was very familiar with the voice. She opened her eyes in disbelief and looked at Madam Zhao in front of her. She was stunned for a moment.
After so many years, she knew that the person in front of her was fake, but she still subconsciously called out, “Mother.”
Madam Zhao smiled and tapped the tip of her nose. “What are you waiting for? It’S time to wash up. There won’t be enough time later. When your sister brings food over later, hurry up and eat too. The etiquette is so complicated. It’S enough to make you hungry.”
Su Xiaolu looked at the festive house. She did not care. She hugged Madam Zhao and leaned her head against her waist.
What was fake was ultimately fake. It was different. She did not have her mother’s aura.
Madam Zhao was still smiling. “Silly girl, you can’t bear to part with your mother? This is the path you have to take. Every woman has this day.”
Su Xiaolu let go quietly. Not long after, Su Xiaoling came. She looked like when she was young.
Su Xiaolu shook her head. “I’m not hungry.”
She wanted to see who this illusion was going to marry her to!
After the tedious etiquette, she was sent to the bridal chamber to wait.
Su Xiaolu lifted the headscarf on her head. She looked in the direction of the door and heard footsteps approaching. When the door opened, she and the person were both surprised.
The corners of Su Xiaolu’s mouth twitched. This illusion was really crazy. It actually transformed Su Kuo into a groom.
‘Su Kuo’ smiled and walked towards Su Xiaolu. He said gently, “Xiaolu, why did you open it yourself? Come, it’S time for us to drink.”
Su Xiaolu stood up and walked over. She was smiling, but when she was drinking with ‘Su Kuo’, she suddenly turned her hand and stabbed her finger into ‘Su Kuo•s’ eye. With a wail, Su Xiaolu saw his ferocious face turn into a huge snake’s head.
Su Xiaolu woke up in an instant. She sat up. Zhou Zhi, who was beside her, was also alarmed. He squeezed Su Xiaolu’s hand and said gently, “What’s wrong?”
Su Xiaolu felt the stench in the air become even stronger. So this illusion was made by the snake demon?
Su Xiaolu approached Zhou Zhi and asked softly, “Fourth Brother, did you dream just now?”
She wanted to know if she was the only one in the dream or if Zhou Zhi was also affected.
Zhou Zhi shook his head. “No, I haven’t dreamed in a long time.”
He was guarded. Dreams were rare. It could be said that he had no dreams..
