Undersea? A Way Out!

It won't come looking for us.

You Su said firmly, "Since you have difficulty moving around, just wait for me here. I'll be back soon."

Bai Ze wasn't completely unable to walk, but the ointment had just been applied; if he put on shoes and ran around again, the ointment would be wasted. Since the ointment was precious, You Su, who didn't have much in her pocket, naturally didn't want to waste it.

After saying that, You Su started walking and made a move to leave again.

"Hey! No!" Bai Ze hurriedly called out to You Su, "If you leave, what if other monsters rush here? I'm doomed!"

There was no time to lose, You Su didn't want to argue with the girl any longer, but then she heard the girl mutter something under her breath:

"What kind of older brother would leave his younger sister all alone..."

You Su's heart softened, so he walked up to the girl, then turned around and half-squatted on the ground.

"Come up yourself."

His tone was cold, even with a hint of domineering.

Looking at You Su's broad back, Bai Ze couldn't help but grin, his bright eyes curving into willow leaves, his smile radiant yet not glaring.

She lunged forward and landed on You Su's back, her arms naturally wrapping around You Su neck. You Su caught her by her knees, gently supporting her.

"A drop of kindness deserves a spring of gratitude. If I carry you on my back once, you have to repay me a hundred times over."

Unwilling to delay any longer, You Su immediately strode towards the location where the Bloodline was constantly reporting to him.

"It's expected that an older brother should carry his younger sister, but it's not expected that a younger sister should carry her older brother."

Bai Ze grinned, his joy evident in his expression.

"We're all human, there's no difference," You Su said matter-of-factly.

"It's so great to be human! I thought you were the only one who could ride me, but now that I'm human, I can ride you too!" the girl cheered.

You Su raised an eyebrow slightly. "This is called carrying someone on your back, not riding them."

Bai Ze, however, was immersed in her own joy and didn't listen to You Su at all. She tilted her head and pressed it against You Su's neck, a gentle smile curving her lips. She seemed to enjoy being carried, behaving exceptionally well-behavedly, just like a sweet little sister.

"Don't press so close."

You Su's steps rose and fell, with the crucial clue right in front of him, but the warm temperature and subtle touch coming from behind made it difficult for him to concentrate.

"No, you're running so fast, what if I get blown away?"

After Bai Ze finished speaking, he tightened his grip on You Su's neck.

Her hair was whipped back by the wind, and the girl clung tightly to You Su, as if afraid that she would be swept away by this chaotic world if she wasn't careful. Her cheek gently brushed against the back of You Su's neck, and her innocence and purity were clearly felt even through her clothes, like a flower petal just beginning to bloom in spring, soft and full of life.

You Su straightened his chest, trying to avoid her, but the girl's body was much more flexible than his, leaving no room for her.

This is a cat, and this is my sister...

You Su could only resort to this constant self-suggestion.

Fortunately, they were fast, but the evil spirit was even faster! That's why it was able to become the first evil spirit to break through the blood web.

You Su discerned the direction in which it was rushing recklessly, and thought to himself that this evil spirit's target was not him and Bai Ze, or the other masters who occupied the mountain, but the treasure hidden here.

The left eye of the true god suppressed this place, preventing these evil spirits from invading. They sensed the disappearance of the giant eye and swarmed over. Even though they knew the place had changed hands, the new lord You Su, did not demonstrate enough deterrence, which gave them an opportunity to take advantage.

This made You Su even more curious about what was hidden here that could have such a strong attraction to evil spirits.

You Su finally saw what the evil spirit that had rushed in looked like—it was a fish! A flying fish with fins as wings!

It was slightly smaller than Bai Ze, and its body shimmered with an unknown metallic texture of dark blue light. If one ignored its twisted, hideous, and disgusting fish head, it could actually be described as beautiful.

With Bai Ze on his back, You Su sped off in the direction the flying fish was heading. The flying fish was incredibly fast, its eerie blue light flashing in the darkness like a strange shooting star, drawing You Su's gaze to follow it closely.

The flying fish seemed to have searched several times before finally stopping, circling around a certain spot. You Su had been to that space before, but hadn't noticed any difference between it and the other damp, smelly swampy landscapes.

But You Su didn't dare to be careless. Just as he was concentrating, Fei Yu suddenly attacked him without warning!

It opened its mouth, which was full of sharp teeth, and pounced like a blue lightning bolt, its speed catching You Su somewhat off guard.

At this moment, Bai Ze was still on his back, You Su had no time to put the girl down.

The fishy wind stirred up by the flying fish hit him, making his clothes flutter and his hair fly wildly.

He inwardly cried out in alarm, but showed no intention of backing down. Fortunately, after the previous recuperation and battle, he had recovered to his peak condition, and his strength had reached the Water Condensation Perfection.

You Su suddenly drew his Ink Pine Sword, the blade humming as if sensing its master's fighting spirit, emitting an excited tremor.

Faced with such a swift attack, it would be unwise to try to outrun the opponent when you are at a disadvantage. You Su used the Lotus Birth Sword Technique, where he swung the Ink Pine Sword in front of him, creating a black lotus that resembled an impenetrable black wall.

The moment the black lotus formed, the flying fish pounced.

Watching the dark blue fish pieces twisted into pus on the ground, You Su was also surprised. His move was only for defense; he didn't intend to kill the flying fish. After all, if the flying fish sensed danger, it could retreat and leave.

Upon seeing the ice crystals on the Ink Pine Sword, You Su understood the reason—Bai Ze had frozen the flying fish before it could pounce, which was why it was so fearless and was torn to pieces by the Ink Pine Sword.

"Didn't I tell you not to use your strength?" You Su's tone was slightly reproachful.

Bai Ze pouted, "I was just trying to help you..."

You Su certainly wouldn't say something as cold as 'I don't need your help,' but simply instructed:

"I taught you that your own body is the most important thing."

"I remember, but my leg hurts. If I don't freeze it so you can kill me quickly, you'll have to put me down. It won't hurt if I use it occasionally, so of course I'll take action." Bai Ze's words were reasonable and well-founded.

You Su raised an eyebrow. He did intend to block the attack, put the girl down, and then focus all his energy on killing the enemy, but he didn't expect that the girl had also anticipated this.

"You suddenly thought of so much?"

Bai Ze was slightly taken aback, then bared his teeth and said fiercely, "Do you really think I'm stupid?!"

"Um."

Bai Ze was so angry at You Su's affirmative answer that he punched You Su on the back of the neck several times. You Su was focused on figuring out what was hidden there, so he didn't argue with the girl anymore.

He eventually placed the reluctant girl in a slightly cleaner spot and began his exploration.

The flying fish didn't circle over a large area, roughly the size of four pots. Seeing nothing unusual on the surface, You Su began digging deep into the ground. This soft soil was actually composed of countless fine silt and sand, and apart from being a bit disgusting, it wasn't too difficult to dig.

As you dig You Su, you can clearly see the layering of the mud and sand. The surface layer is black because of the unidentified liquid covering it, but the deeper you dig, the more you can see the original white color of the mud and sand.

You Su was slightly surprised, thinking to himself that this place must have undergone a long period of evolution to produce these different sediments.

Just as he was digging in vain and about to release another evil spirit, he finally touched a hard object.

Overjoyed, he quickly dug it out of the mud. Seeing his delight, Bai Ze also hopped over, carrying his shoe, and curiously examined the object in You Su's hand.

You Su blew and brushed, finally cleaning the mud and sand off the surface of the unearthed object, only to be surprised to find that it was actually a small stone tablet.

It clearly has a base and is indeed shaped like a stone tablet, but the surface is flat and blank.

Bai Ze asked curiously, "Why aren't there any words on this?"

You Su frowned in confusion, asking himself, "Why would this thing attract such a frenzy of evil spirits to snatch it?"

Suddenly, he sensed something and realized that for evil spirits, refined Mystic Qi was what they desired most. So he slowly infused the Mystic Qi into it, and sure enough, he found that white light began to emanate from the stone surface.

He continuously channeled his Mystic Qi, and the white light grew even brighter, finally revealing the characters.

You Su's heart raced, and she quickly began reading.

My first stop on this journey: I was prevented from going overseas, so I came here at the invitation of Gan Long. Beneath the empty plain, it truly leads directly to the seabed.

The depths of the ocean are beyond description, yet they are by no means a death trap. This monument is erected so that those who come after will not be overcome with grief. As long as this inscription remains, I am not dead. If you wish to find a way to live, seek my monument.

Happy New Year everyone!!! I've already spent two New Years with you all! This book has been in the works for over a year now, it feels like ages... (sigh)

I'm taking a day off tomorrow, everyone should visit relatives and friends and spend quality time with their families!
