Ten Thousand Times Return: My Senior Sister Plucked Me At The Start

"Again?

Is there an end to this? "

Xing Ziyue was on the verge of breaking down.

"Since we have nowhere else to go, we can only go and take a look," Zhao Mu said casually.

They had survived the encirclement of ten thousand demonic beasts. No matter how difficult the path ahead was, they had to go on.

Niu Yulan, on the other hand, hurriedly handed the Xuanyang Gold Fruit to Zhao Mu.

Zhao Mu glanced at the system and saw that the number of refunds had not refreshed. He kept the Xuanyang Gold Fruit first and thought of a way to give it to Niu Yulan when the time was up.

The three of them regained their spirits and walked toward the new path.

After walking through a winding tunnel, the space in front of them suddenly became turbid and filled with a brownish-gray fog.

"Be careful, this is the air of filth. It was this air of filth that swept across the land and eroded countless living beings, turning them into demonic beasts that only knew how to kill."

Xing Ziyue hurriedly warned.

Zhao Mu did not dare to be careless. The power of the Red Yang quickly took effect. His body was like a small sun, emitting a scorching heat. The heat wave was like a shield, suppressing the filth around him and preventing it from getting close. Once it got close, it would be evaporated by the scorching heat and ferocious Yang Qi.

Zhao Mu, who was full of pure Yang Qi, seemed to have a natural restraining effect on this evil air of filth.

[1] [6] [6] [Small] [Speak]

Xing Ziyue and Niu Yulan walked beside Zhao Mu, feeling a sense of security.

It was just a little hot. Their clothes were wet from their sweat and stuck to their skin. It was a little uncomfortable.

After passing through the filth, Zhao Mu and the other two reached the end of the path and came to a new cave.

This cave was different from the previous one. It was obviously man-made. The surrounding rock walls were as smooth as a knife, and the material was the extremely hard ore that Zhao Mu had encountered before. The entire cave was a regular square, large enough to accommodate a mountain.

Filth could be seen everywhere in the cave. The filth in the center was the most intense, but the color was not right. It was not brownish-gray, but pale white.

It did not seem to be too strong of a filth.

"It's a little strange. This filth seems to be much worse than what was described in the books. Could it be that it has gradually lost its effectiveness after so long?"

Xing Ziyue muttered.

Zhao Mu also felt that this filthy aura was somewhat unpresentable. He continued forward and arrived at the center of the cave.

Observing from a close distance, Zhao Mu found that the foul air here seemed to be attracted by some kind of core. A large amount of fog had condensed into a ball, and the density was extremely high. There was even liquid dripping from the bottom of the fog, forming a pale lake on the ground.

The pale white lake water was filled with liquefied filth, but it didn't give off an evil feeling. Instead, it felt very pure.

Zhao Mu suddenly thought of something.

He left behind a surge of pure Yang energy to envelop Niu Yulan and Ziyue before flying back to the cave on his sword and searching around.

Not long after, Zhao Mu found a fish that had escaped the net.

It was a magical beast that was still alive.

Zhao Mu lifted the Demonic Beast and flew to the side of the pale-white lake. She threw the Demonic Beast directly into the lake.

Seeing this, Xing Ziyue immediately realized what Zhao Mu was thinking.

He must have suspected that the magical beast he had encountered in the ancient city had regained its memories here.

After the Demonic Beast was thrown into the pale-white lake, it immediately struggled violently.

Zhao Mu frowned and stood on the shore, carefully observing the changes in the Demonic Beast.

A shocking scene happened.

The black mud torso on the Demonic Beast's body was slowly being dissolved by the pale-white lake water.

Not long after, normal human skin was revealed.

A complete human female body slowly floated out of the water.

She opened her eyes slowly. The black light in her eyes was dissipating rapidly, and they soon returned to normal.

"Where … where am I?"

Zhao Mu waved his hand and pulled the woman onto the shore. He covered her with a cloak and asked, "What's your name? Where are you from?"

The woman looked at Zhao Mu and the other two blankly. After thinking for a long time, she said, "My name is … Zhao Qiuyun. I'm the daughter of the City Lord of Handan City. I remember that I was leading the guards against the demons from the Ten Thousand Demon Forest. Am I … dead?"

Handan City!

Just as expected.

Most importantly, her surname was Zhao. She might even be Zhao Mu's ancestor.

"Let me tell you a piece of good news and a piece of bad news. The good news is that you're not dead. The bad news is that it's already been 8,000 years."

"8,000 years …"

Zhao Qiuyun was shocked.

She was just a mortal without any cultivation base. 8,000 years was too long for her. It was so long that it felt unreal.

Xing Ziyue did not care about Zhao Qiuyun. She looked at the pale lake and was almost drooling.

Although she did not know what exactly happened, she was sure that the lake water was definitely a treasure.

If she obtained such a lake when the filth invaded 8,000 years ago, she would immediately become a great hero who saved people from suffering and would be revered by all.

Even though the filth energy had subsided, the lake water here was still shockingly valuable for studying the source of the filth.

Moreover, this was a trump card. If the filth energy were to spread again in the future, the filth would not be a problem anymore with this treasure.

If she handed this lake water to the sect, she would definitely be able to exchange it for a large amount of merit points.

"Let's hurry up and collect the lake water."

Xing Ziyue said impatiently.

Zhao Mu knew what she was thinking. Collecting the lake water was indeed a good idea.

There was no doubt about the value of this thing.

However, Zhao Mu still had some doubts.

Why did the filthy Qi turn into a treasure after eight thousand years in this place?

The filth energy used to be able to corrode all living things. However, the current filth energy turned into a life-saving medicine.

What happened during this period to purify the filth?

The lake water was precious.

However, the secret hidden in the lake might be even more valuable.

Zhao Mu instructed, "You guys stay here and take good care of Zhao Qiuyun. I'll dive to the bottom of the lake to investigate."

After saying that, Zhao Mu jumped into the pale lake.

The pale lake water instantly soaked Zhao Mu's body.

The lake water did not have any effect on him, but it obstructed Zhao Mu's divine sense. In addition, the lake water was completely opaque, so he quickly lost his sense of direction. He could only swim towards the center of the lake based on his senses.

The lake was not big. Zhao Mu swam to the center of the lake in a short while and then sank to the bottom of the lake.

Unexpectedly, it was quite deep.

After sinking two to three hundred meters, Zhao Mu's feet finally touched the bottom of the lake.

After searching around the bottom of the lake, Zhao Mu found many small stones scattered at the bottom of the lake. They were round in shape and contained Spirit Qi fluctuations. This should be what Zhao Mu was looking for.

Zhao Mu collected a total of 23 round stones of different sizes. After searching for half a day and finding nothing, she finally floated to the surface of the water.

He couldn't wait to check his harvest.
