In the early morning of the next day, even the sky was still gloomy, and there was not a ray of sunshine, so they had to get up and continue on their way.

Linghui was so sleepy that she couldn't keep her eyes open, she even dozed off while washing her face and brushing her teeth, and almost fell into the water basin, but Ying Heng quickly supported her.

"What's the matter with you? Are you so sleepy?" Ying Heng reached out to take the towel she was holding, and carefully helped her dry the water on her face.

"...I don't know." Linghui rubbed her eyes, "I don't know why, I just feel sleepy and want to sleep..."

She spoke hesitantly, her head bit by bit like a chicken pecking at rice, and there were physiological tears overflowing from yawning in the corners of her eyes.

"..." Ying Heng frowned, and exchanged glances with the white cat, both seeing seriousness in each other's eyes.

"Because of the environment, it's really hard for you to continue on your way. You'll collapse after walking a few steps." Ying Heng gently pulled the other party over, "I'll carry you on my back."

Now Ling Hui's mind was as if it was a mess, unable to think at all, only with a strong sleepiness twisted in her mind, she nodded subconsciously, and let Ying Heng carry her on her back.

Feeling a little familiar, Ling Hui fell asleep vaguely leaning on her back.

Ying Heng glanced at Ling Hui who was obediently lying on her body, and sighed with complicated emotions: "...It should be untied soon."

"The seal you made is really unreliable." The white cat flapped its wings and circled Ying Heng in frustration, "Tsk, sometimes I wonder what the little master liked about you back then."

Ying Heng didn't take it seriously at all, and cast a provocative glance at the white cat: "Oh, when I came here, Ling'er was always with me and didn't play with you, so you always hold a grudge."

"...Damn, if it wasn't for your bad seal, the little master's body would be corrupted by the curse. In that world, he was weak and sick and couldn't survive twenty?" .

"Then she couldn't even maintain her body when she came back here, so she returned to the air! Fortunately, there is a piece of land in that small place in the south that can nourish her soul. It took five full years to recover some strength before she was able to take shape."

"...You were not there at the time, do you know how urgent the situation is? I gave up most of my strength to suppress the curse!" Ying Heng's expression was also very bad, "Don't talk about this now, Ling'er's situation is no longer acceptable. Optimistic."

"Hmph, I really don't agree with you." The white cat snorted coldly.

Ying Heng just glanced at it and stopped talking to it.

"Oh? Why is Ling Hui still sleeping?" Monis took out the breakfast bread she had prepared and intended to share with them, but found that Ling Hui was actually sleeping.

"Well, she's a little tired, let her sleep for a while." Ying Heng said lightly, without much fluctuation in tone, which made Monis feel a little depressed.

"Oh, that, do you want bread?" Monis felt that the atmosphere was a bit stiff and weird, and she wanted to slip away after asking politely.

Ying Heng glanced at the bread in her hand, and shook her head without much interest: "No need."

"Oh, that's right." Moness laughed dryly a few times and then slipped away immediately. For some reason, she always felt that Ying Heng had an aura that made people uncomfortable.

After everyone washed up and had a meal, An Si Anlu gave the order to continue moving forward, and a group of people marched forward again.

An Li followed An Si Anlu boredly in every possible way, looked behind casually, and noticed that Ying Heng who was at the end of the line was a little stunned, quickly looked away, and couldn't help but sighed.

***

The surroundings were still pitch black, with no light at all. Ling Hui stood where she was, thinking more clearly than usual.

"Is this here again? What is this place?" Linghui said to herself.

"—This is your sea of ​​consciousness." In the dead silence, an indistinguishable voice suddenly sounded.

Linghui was taken aback, she was just talking to herself, but she didn't expect someone to answer this time.She immediately turned her head and looked around, but there was nothing around her, except for the darkness that filled her eyes.

"—Hehe, it was originally a beautiful cyan sea of ​​consciousness, but now it's all dyed black." The yin and yang voice sounded again, even mocking.

"Who? Since it's my sea of ​​consciousness, why are you here?" Ling Hui frowned, the voice made her feel creepy, and instinctively felt that it was very dangerous.

"——Are we? We are all victims of that war. You should have been wiped out with us back then, how could that dragon still be alive!" The voice laughed, and some words appeared in the darkness. The mist swayed, like a strange mist that merged into the darkness.

Linghui took a step back subconsciously, and the alarm bells rang in her heart.

"—The elves are all damned, if it weren't for you, how could there be wars, why are we innocent people like this? There are also dragons, hehe, they deserve to be exterminated. You and that dragon should die together . ” That distorted voice echoed, carrying overwhelming sorrow and lamentation, causing the entire sea of ​​consciousness to tremble.

"What, why are you blaming us?" Linghui retorted unhappily.

"—Blame you, of course you are to blame. If you didn't listen to those scumbags, how could this happen? Elves have no heart, they are all heartless things!" the voice said furiously.

"——You too, who were born in the highest position but have always done nothing, which led to the tragedy! It's all of you... all, all of it is your fault..." The voice became more and more out of control, and the emotions almost collapsed, and the black mist poured out one after another Turn to Aya.

Ling Hui was startled, turned around and ran, but there was no way for her to go in the darkness, which made people desperate.When she panicked, a blue light suddenly appeared in front of her.

"—Huh, it's you, damned elf—" the voice shouted, but the volume became lower and lower, and then disappeared without a sound.

"..." Ling Hui glanced behind her, then turned to look at the blue light in front of her.

The blue light was very soft, rippling in the darkness like water, and a figure stepped out from the light, it was the man in black who had been elusive before.

"It's you." Seeing the other party, Ling Hui felt calm and settled down for some reason.

"Little guy, go to the lake, there is the answer you want to find." This time the voice is no longer deep and indistinguishable from male to female, it is an exceptionally warm and gentle female voice.

"……who are you?"

"For a dead person, the name is not important anymore. If you really want to say it, call me Xun."

After she finished speaking, it disappeared along with the blue light.

***

When Linghui woke up again, her memory was exceptionally clear this time, and she didn't forget everything after waking up in the back street like before.The sense of oppression brought by those voices in the darkness still haunts her.

"Ah, are you awake?" Ying Heng felt the person on his back move and turned around.

"...Well, ah." Ling Hui rubbed her head, only to realize that she was being carried by the other party, a little at a loss, "Wait, why did you..."

"When I asked you, didn't you happily agree?" Ying Heng looked innocent.

"???" Linghui tried hard to recall what happened before she went to bed, but she couldn't remember it. She only remembered being very sleepy, and then there was nothing else.

"Uh, I..." Ling Hui wanted to get down in a panic, but the other party glanced at her: "Anyway, you are light and light, don't move around, you will fall down."

"..." Ling Hui froze for a moment, remembering how she felt when she fell asleep just now, she couldn't help but clenched her cloak tightly.

"...Ying Heng, you really belong to the Dragon Clan, right?"

"Why do you ask that all of a sudden?" Ying Heng's eyes flashed a strange color, but his tone was very calm and no waves could be heard.

"It's nothing, I just want to make sure." Ling Hui prevaricated.

"Well, it's the Dragon Clan."

"..." Linghui lowered her head and leaned against her, so the dragon mentioned in those words in the darkness before meant Ying Heng?After all, the dragon clan should have been exterminated long ago, and there should be no other dragons except Ying Heng.

There is also the person who claims to be Xun, she can now clearly feel the familiarity from the other person.Blue light...water system?

The lake in the Valley of Return, will everything be revealed when we go there?

"..." After thinking for a while, Ling Hui felt that it was not good for Ying Heng to carry her on her back, so she poked her, "Well, Ying Heng, let me down, I can walk by myself."

Ying Heng pretended not to hear, and continued walking forward.

"...Ying Heng..." Linghui grabbed her cloak, and when she spoke again, there was commotion in front of her, interrupting her words.

"Spirit beasts? Why are there so many spirit beasts?"

"Fuck, it's a group of spirit beasts! What's going on?"

"Ah, I was too anxious this morning and forgot to read the almanac!"

The people in front shouted in panic, Ling Hui looked forward, and saw a large circle of spirit beasts running mightily in front of the team, occupying the entire narrow valley.

Everyone had no place to hide, and there were too many spirit beasts, and they couldn't finish it, so they could only run back in a panic, or find a gap to hide.

"Everyone, don't get confused, follow us to the other way!" An Si Anlu yelled, and everyone calmed down a little, and quickly followed her.

Everyone ran on various steep and steep mountain roads, crawled on various thorny paths, bypassed the herd of spirit beasts, and finally reached the main road.But before they could breathe a sigh of relief, the group of spirit beasts that had just passed by turned back again.

"???"

"Wow, we are being targeted!"

There was a lot of wailing, but everyone could only run forward, occasionally throwing a few magic spells to isolate the fast-moving spirit beasts.

"Aww—" The roar of the angry spirit beast sounded over the valley, just like the howl they heard when they first stepped into the Valley of Return.
