The Fourth Master and the Sixth Master stared at the Fire Crow like they had seen a ghost, but the Fire Crow blinked slowly, revealing half of its white eyes, and remained completely unbothered.
The two of them almost simultaneously turned their gaze to Mo Qingchen, their tacit understanding making it seem as if they were sworn brothers who had been through thick and thin together.
Mo Qingchen forced a smile and said: "This... this is purely a coincidence..."
Weak words would obviously be unable to convince the two of them. But if they were told that the Seventeenth Young Master had fallen because of the Fire Crow's words, they would find it even harder to believe.
"Fourth brother, I think we should hurry up and go down. Although this whirlpool is meant to be jumped into, it's unknown what dangers lie within." Sixth Master said, he wasn't concerned about Seventeenth Master's life or death, but rather saw Mo Qingchen's troubled expression and changed the subject.
The fourth master gazed deeply at Mo Qingchen once more before nodding and saying, "Alright." After speaking, he jumped down first.
Sixth Master smiled at Mo Qingchen: "Miss Mo, just hold your breath and jump down, don't worry, there's no danger." After finishing speaking, he also jumped down with a swing of his robe.
Mo Qingchen gazed at the bottomless whirlpool, pursed his lips, and was about to dive down when he suddenly heard Huo Wu Ya's sharp cry: "Wait!"
Mo Qingchen stood there, asking: "What's wrong?"
"Put me back in the Spirit Beast Bag." said Huo Wu Ya.
"Huh?" Mo Qingchen didn't know which act this was supposed to be.
The black crow with white eyes flipped over and said confidently, "You can't even jump by yourself, right? Don't forget to let me out after you jump down."
Mo Qingchen twitched the corner of his mouth and didn't have time to bicker with a crow, neatly putting it back into the Ling Beast Bag before jumping in himself.
A loud whooshing sound rang out beside his ear, and a massive gravitational force pulled Mo Qingchen plummeting downwards at high speed.
Mo Qingchen's eyes could no longer open, and the endless darkness made her feel uneasy. At this speed of falling down, would she really be okay?
At this moment, time seemed to be infinitely stretched out. Mo Qingchen only felt his heart beating faster and faster. Although the Sixth Master and the others had jumped in like this, he couldn't fully trust others when it came to things he couldn't grasp himself.
Finally, Mo Qingchen felt his legs bend, and his feet touched the ground. Strangely, a mysterious force dissipated the impact of the fall, and his body only swayed slightly.
Sounds of slaughter came from the ears, Mo Qingxun quickly opened his eyes and saw that Liu Gongzi and three others were fighting together with many monster fish shaped like hedgehogs.
"Mo'niang, come and help!" Liu Gongzi shouted.
Mo Qingchen joined the battle with his flying sword in hand.
This strange fish was covered in sharp, hard spines all over its body. The flying sword in her hand was a mid-grade artifact, and when she infused it with spiritual energy to cast the Flourishing Flower Wooden Sword Technique, it couldn't even scratch it.
Mo Qingchu swept another three people with his eyes.
Only to see the Sixth Master holding that fish fork, specifically poking at the monster fish's tail, after being stabbed, a strange scream was heard, and then it was lifted up, the whole body of the monster fish flew out.
The Seventeenth Young Master used a long pair of scissors. The place where he struck was also the tail of the strange fish.
As for the Fourth Young Master's magic weapon, it was a curved knife. The curved knife flew out with a trail of spiritual light and rotated in mid-air into a bright moon, cutting off the tails of the strange fish wherever it passed.
Mo Qingchen specially targeted the strange fish's tail and found it much easier.
Although there were many strange fish, their attack power was ordinary. With the addition of Mo Qingchen, the four of them used less than half a time to wipe them out completely.
Mo Qingchen was slightly panting, and it wasn't until then that he had a chance to take in his surroundings.
There are all sorts of creatures swimming around, with sharp-mouthed and long-tailed strange fish, small and delicate shellfish, and silly-looking starfish...
The colorful coral is a cluster of flowers that can move, and the seaweed swaying at the bottom of the sea adds a touch of wonder to this beautiful scene.
Mo Qingchen was greedily sizing him up, but then heard the Seventeenth Young Master shouting: "Where's that black crow? Where's that black crow?" As he spoke, he stormed over to Mo Qingchen with a fierce expression.
Mo Qingchen stood still on the spot, coldly looking at Seventeenth Young Master and said: "What's wrong, Seventeenth Young Master wants it?" As he spoke, he made a move in his heart and released the Fire Crow.
The fiery crow flapped its wings and jumped onto Mo Qingchen's shoulder, shouting at the Seventeenth Young Master: "Wow wow, I heard you're thinking of me? I advise you to give up this thought, it's impossible between us!"
"Pfft." Mo Qingchen, who was usually calm and collected, couldn't help but burst out laughing. She had to admit that this Fire Crow was sometimes a real talent - she used to complain about its weak attack power, but now it was showing off its skills here!
The Seventeenth Young Master almost fainted with rage, his finger pointing at the Fire Crow as he stuttered: "You damned beast, what kind of sorcery did you use to make me fall down?"
The raven's eyelids were lifted halfway, and he glanced at him with disdain, saying: "You really have long hair but short sight, haven't you heard of something called a crow's mouth?"
Mo Qingchen suppressed his smile and wanted to tell Huo Wuying that having long hair but short sight was not used in this way, but he saw the Seventeenth Young Master raise his scissors and beckon Huo Wuying over.
Mo Qingchen's flying sword flew out of his hand and collided with the Seventeenth Young Master's scissors, stopping his attack. He then asked in a cold voice, "Seventeenth Young Master, have you thought this through?"
At this time, the voice of the fourth master came: "Seventeenth brother, don't be reckless!" The young master stamped his foot heavily: "Fourth brother, that flat-haired beast is too deceitful!"
The Fourth Master said calmly: "Why must you bicker with a spiritual beast?"
"Could... could it be that it's harmed me and I've fallen?" Seventeenth Young Master shouted in discontent.
The fourth master glared at him: "That's just a coincidence, you really think that if one crow says you'll fall down, you can fall down?"
The seventeenth young master saw the fourth young master looking annoyed, Mo Qingchen and the sixth young master also stared over with piercing eyes. He stopped talking reluctantly, but secretly transmitted a message: "Fourth brother, I believe that's not a coincidence."
"Uh, how should I put it?" Fourth Master replied.
The Seventeenth Master said, "You don't know, when that flat-haired beast finished saying those words, I felt as if an invisible hand had forcibly pulled me down, and I couldn't resist." As he spoke, the Seventeenth Master suddenly felt a chill run down his spine.
After a while, the fourth young master's voice came through: "If that's really the case, then you can't be impulsive. A foundation-building female cultivator with unknown origins and abilities, plus a second-level spiritual beast with unpredictable powers, and Wang Liu who has never been on good terms with us... if you act rashly, we might capsize in the gutter."
"Alright, Fourth Brother, I'll listen to you. From now on, I'll be more careful with my words and actions." The Seventeenth Master also felt that the situation was a bit awkward and stood up.
Fourth Master said: "Hmph! If that crow provokes you again, just think of it as nothing more than a beast."
The fourth master of the transmission sound couldn't help but glance at Mo Qingchen, his eyes stopping at her waist, where a pale blue silk cord hung down, with a shallow blue bead the size of a green apricot tied below.
This Avoidance Pearl is at least a fourth-grade Sea Beast's product. What kind of person is this Mo young lady, and how can she have such a good Avoidance Pearl?
On one side, the Fourth Master secretly made an educated guess. On the other side, Mo Qingchen also used his divine thought plate to summon Huo Wu Ya.
"Tell me, what just happened?"
"Huh?" The Fire Crow exclaimed in surprise.
Mo Qingchen gritted his teeth: "Don't pretend to be stupid, why did you say let him fall down earlier and he fell down?"
After a long time, Huo Wu Ya finally lazily transmitted his voice: "So it was asking about this, didn't I tell you earlier that I have gained a new ability?"
Mo Qingchen was taken aback: "When did you say that?"
"Wasn't it just that day when I woke up and you asked me what abilities I had?"
Mo Qingchen's face turned black: "You said you can only talk!"
The black crow's face turned dark: "I let him fall down, wasn't it said with my mouth?"
Mo Qingchen suppressed his urge to punch it and asked in surprise: "Are you saying that your new ability is that what you say can become reality?"
The voice transmitted into Mo Qingchen's mind was much softer: "Only when saying bad things..."
Mo Qingchen couldn't help but twitch the corner of his mouth when he heard this. This was indeed a true crow's mouth!
However, she suddenly remembered that the jade slip that recorded the Fire Crow mentioned that it was rare for the Fire Crow to advance to level two. Once it reached level two, it could speak human language. Some Fire Crows would undergo a variation during advancement due to some unknown factor and possess an ability - that is, cursing!
Of course, the mutation of the Fire Crow is one in ten thousand, and this curse is not a heaven-defying one. Whether the curse spoken by the Fire Crow will work or not is fundamentally unpredictable.
Even so, Mo Qingchen felt that he had made a profit - a variant spirit beast with unlimited potential.
Four people and a crow strolled through the fairy-tale-like underwater world, stopping from time to time. Along the way, they encountered many monsters and had some very dangerous moments. Fortunately, they were all eliminated by the joint efforts of everyone. Even the fire crow would spit out fireballs to roast the fat fish that caught its eye, savoring the delicious taste.
One day later, a palace appeared in front of them. The palace was built with large blocks of crystal, and the gate was wide open. A curtain made of colorful shells and pearls hung down, blocking the inside from view. The light from somewhere unknown at the bottom of the sea illuminated the entire palace, making it radiant and resplendent.
The Crystal Palace, mermaids, pearl tears, and dustless fog. I always feel like I'm about to enter a dream, a fantasy world that can't exist in reality.
As expected, Liu Gongzi said: "Mo Niang, the soul-hooking fish demon is indeed inside. However, once we enter from the entrance, we will fall into an illusion. I failed at this juncture last time, and if I hadn't been well-prepared, I'm afraid I would have fallen already."
Fourth Master also said: "That's right, this illusion realm tests the Dao heart. As long as the Dao heart is firm, it can be broken without attacking. However, understanding the principle is easy, but putting it into practice is not."
In the dark passage of his heart, if it wasn't for his great-grandfather's favoritism, granting him a high-quality Anxin Purple Jade Pearl, he would not have been able to pass this test. And that Anxin Purple Jade Pearl also burst due to withstanding the invasion of the illusion realm.
"Everyone get ready!" The Fourth Master said, finishing with a flash of light in his hand, which he then threw at the bead curtain.
Just then, the pearl curtain emitted a crisp and melodious impact sound, followed by a slow roll-up, inside was a dazzling white light, and Mo Qingchen involuntarily got sucked into the white light...
