Simultaneous travel: I am rampant in the domestic area

Chapter 153 How to Empathize
Lu Xueqi followed Russell's steps closely, turning left and right in this dark Undead Abyss, and came to an open space. She exerted force with her feet and a big hole appeared on the hard ground.

"What is that?" Looking down from the cave entrance, she could only see two red lights flashing at the bottom of the cave. If nothing unexpected happened, they should be the eyes of some monster.

"Monster, can you still fly the sword now?" Russell asked.

"..." In the darkness, Lu Xueqi's pretty face turned red, and then she shook her head. She was already at the end of her strength when she was up there. The slightest movement of her energy in her meridians caused her to feel a stabbing pain like needles.

Luo Su didn't say anything after hearing this. He half-knelt down with his back to Lu Xueqi and pointed at his back: "It's okay, get up, I'll carry you."

"Thank you, uncle." Lu Xueqi put her hands on Russell's shoulders, paused, and jumped up as if she had made up her mind.

As soon as she got down there, she knew exactly what the two red lights were. It was a gigantic monster, two people tall, with a pig's head and a dog's body, long and sharp fangs, a red-black body, and brown fur that stood up like steel needles. It was the red-eyed pig monster mentioned in "The Strange Tales of Gods and Demons: The Monster Chapter."

"How could there be such an evil thing in the Dead Abyss?" Lu Xueqi frowned.

"The black-hearted old demon was refining the blood-sucking beads here, killing countless lives. This pig demon was probably raised here by him at that time to deal with corpses." Russell speculated based on the corpse qi and yin energy left here, and he thought the truth should be almost the same as his guess.

After killing the carrion-eating pig demon, Russell continued to walk forward with Lu Xueqi on his back. Neither of them mentioned putting the person down.

Russell was worried about tiring the little girl. As he said, although Naiqi is good, Xiaobai is better. Besides, the little girl is only sixteen years old now. Russell only appreciates her role in the plot and does not have any evil thoughts.

"Uncle Master, there seems to be something wrong with this tree."

As they walked, the man who was lying on Russell's back and lighting the way with the Tianya Sword suddenly said in one direction, "There was only a withered tree growing within a radius of ten meters there. Anyone could tell that there was something fishy going on."

"Smart." Russell praised and turned his head to blow a breath.

After leaving the body, the breath instantly moved in front of the tree. With a shrill roar, the century-old tree demon was reduced to ashes on the spot.

Lu Xueqi is no longer surprised by Russell's current abilities. In her heart, Uncle Russell is omnipotent.

Continuing to explore forward, the two walked in the darkness for a while. Suddenly, a little light appeared in the distance. The light came closer and closer, as if it would meet them soon.

"Is there someone?" Lu Xueqi asked curiously, "Could it be that something happened to Senior Brother Xiao and the others, and they came down to look for us?"

"If they come down, they should be behind us." Russell shook his head. He had already guessed the other party's identity. He knew that there was definitely more than one way to enter the Undead Abyss.

The two men went to search for the source of the light, where there was a woman, dressed in aqua green clothes, with thin eyebrows and beautiful eyes, and jade-like skin that was whiter than frost and snow. In the darkness, she seemed to be enchantingly gorgeous, with a kind of breathtaking and strange beauty.

"Mr. Luo, we meet again." Bi Yao's expression froze when she saw Russell. She thought to herself that she was unlucky. They had obviously chosen another path, but they still met here.

"According to seniority, you should call me uncle." Russell flashed to Bi Yao's side, and You Ji also came over.

"Young Master Luo." You Ji knelt down and bowed.

When she was beaten before, Russell did not leave any magic power to hinder the healing of the wounds. Therefore, in just less than a day, the injuries on her face and body had faded away.

"Have you two discovered anything?" Russell asked.

"No." You Ji shook her head. "The Black-Hearted Old Demon has almost hollowed out the entire underground of Kongsang Mountain. Bi Yao and I have been searching for it, but we still haven't found the location of the Bleeding Cave."

After saying this, fearing that Luo Su would get angry, You Ji added, "But we have already found the location of the Merciless Sea. According to the scriptures of the Holy Church, the Bleeding Cave is hidden in the Merciless Sea."

What's the Bleeding Cave? What's the Merciless Sea? What are you talking about? And the Holy Cult... are they members of the Demon Cult? Why would Junior Master be connected to the Demon Cult disciples?
Lu Xueqi was confused by what she heard, but she also knew that now was not the time to find out the truth. Just as she was about to lower her head and pretend to be dead, she heard You Ji say, "My lady, I have some elixirs to restore your energy..."

Before Youji could finish her words, Russell's hand was already in front of her: "Give it to me."

The feeling of having the words stuck in the throat was not a good one, but under the pressure of Russell, You Ji didn't even dare to get angry. She could only stare at Russell with resentment and obediently took out a small green bottle from the brocade bag behind her waist.

"Thank you." Russell opened the bottle stopper, put it to his nose and smelled it. It was indeed an excellent healing medicine, so he thanked it and handed the jade bottle to Lu Xueqi.

Lu Xueqi got off Russell's back, raised her chin, drank the medicine in the bottle, and sat in meditation on the spot. After a while, the pain in her meridians was relieved and her injuries gradually healed.

After her injuries healed, she stood up with the help of Russell, drew out the Tianya Sword, and began to attack Bi Yao and You Ji: "Uncle Master, I think these two are acting suspiciously. They must be members of the Demon Sect. Why not kill them right here!"

When these words came out, even a clever girl like Bi Yao was stunned for a moment, and then she immediately shouted: "Hey! How can you be like this? The pills you took were given to you by Aunt You, how can you be so ungrateful!?"

"Oh, a demon witch, anyone can kill her, what gratitude can we talk about." Lu Xueqi sneered, the blue light of the Tianya Sword became brighter, and the sword pointed at Bi Yao. As long as Russell gave the order, she would draw her sword and cut off the witch's head.

You Ji and Bi Yao looked at each other and saw confusion in each other's eyes.

Has the righteous path developed to this point these days? Why are the people in Qingyun Sect like this?
"Okay, Xueqi, they are not enemies, at least not now." Russell pressed down Lu Xueqi's sword-holding hand and pressed Tianya down.

A cold wind blew across the ruthless sea, and the originally calm waves suddenly became inexplicably turbulent.

"Oh no, retreat quickly!" You Ji seemed to suddenly remember something, shouted urgently, and pulled Bi Yao back.

The sea breeze blew hard in my face, but it brought not a slightly salty taste, but an overwhelming fishy smell that choked my nose.

"What is this?" Lu Xueqi asked with a frown.

"Black Water Mystical Snake." Russell answered, holding Lu Xueqi's hand and pulling her behind him, then stepped on the shore, and endless coldness spread from the soles of his feet.

The Merciless Sea, one of the five seas in the world, quickly solidified at a speed visible to the naked eye, and even the huge waves that rolled into the air were not spared.

In less than a breath, a deafening rumbling sound came from the turbulent and ruthless sea under the ice. A wave several feet high broke through the ice and hit Russell and others.

Russell condensed a sword in the air with his hand. With a faint sound of sword energy, the cold and surging waves were shattered.

The huge body of the Black Water Serpent then emerged from under the ice.

Speaking of which, the Black Water Mystic Serpent suffered a loss in the early stages of the version. It was a prehistoric giant beast, but it was only a few hundred feet in size. If it was placed in the later stages of the version, when the fantasy fairy system was completely formed, this guy might be able to climb onto the World Tree.

"Black Water Mystical Snake..." You Ji looked at the huge creature so close, and there was a hint of fear in her voice: "Young Master Luo, this creature is a prehistoric beast. I don't know how many years it has lived. I'm afraid we are not strong enough to defeat it. It's best for us to retreat first."

"I'm afraid I can't escape." Russell squinted at the Black Water Serpent's lantern-sized eyes, which were filled with bloodlust and greed. He understood its intention: it wanted to eat him and complete its transformation into a dragon.

"The Holy Envoy of Suzaku." Russell looked at Youji.

The waves on the Merciless Sea gradually subsided, but You Ji's fear remained undiminished. The massive body of the Black Water Mystic Serpent coiled before her eyes, towering over her like a demon from the ancient past. "What can I do for you, Young Master Luo?"

"Take my little nephew and look for the Bleeding Cave. I'll deal with this guy and then go look for you." Luo Su said, his eyes turning into a glazed color. You Ji felt a sharp pain in her heart, and then she heard Luo Su continue, "Don't play tricks. This sword energy can be stimulated by the power of Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao. Xueqi, if you find that they have any bad intentions, don't show mercy."

"Don't worry, Uncle Master." Lu Xueqi nodded heavily.

You Ji gritted her teeth and said nothing more. She took Bi Yao and Lu Xueqi's hands on the left and right, and walked along a road paved entirely with ice to a completely unknown area. The Bleeding Cave was at the end of this ice road.

After the irrelevant people left, Russell turned his attention back to the big guy in front of him.

"Submit, or die."

Russell fought with all his strength, and his aura, which had almost condensed into substance, swept across, creating waves under the Undead Abyss. He slowly stretched out his right hand, and the surrounding cold air instantly condensed in his palm, and an ice sword suddenly took shape.

"Roar!" As if sensing danger, the Black Water Mystic Snake twisted its huge body, first coiling and then suddenly stretching out. Crackling sounds exploded from its body. Its body, which was already a hundred feet long, expanded again and leaped to more than two hundred feet in one breath.

The snake's head shook, and a thin membrane opened on each side. Two hill-sized bulges appeared on the top of its head, and red lines spread on its dark body. This giant beast that survived from the ancient times revealed its true form in front of the world for the first time.

"That's right." Russell grinned. This kind of momentum was worthy of the title of a prehistoric alien species.

He swung the ice sword diagonally, and an orchid condensed from sword energy slowly bloomed.

In an instant, sword lights appeared everywhere!

The sky and the ground were filled with sword energy. The boundless sword energy seemed to fall from the sky, washing over the entire place like a rainstorm!

……

Following the ice passage, You Ji brought the two women to a cave.

The cave is quite bright, not as quiet as the Undead Abyss and the Merciless Sea. At the end is a curtain of water that flows down from the top of the cave, covering the tightly closed door and gathering into a crystal clear and beautiful small pool. Seven palm-sized red stones, as red as blood, are embedded in the stone wall of the cave top.

"This is the Bleeding Cave!" Bi Yao shouted immediately when she saw the water drops from the water curtain flowing through these stones and being reflected in a blood-red color, just like drops of blood.

You Ji also looked delighted. She walked forward and touched the stone door, looking for a way to enter the Bleeding Cave.

After searching for several times but finding nothing, Bi Yao turned around and saw Lu Xueqi staring at the entrance with a worried look on her face. Her joy instantly vanished. She stepped forward and comforted her, "Miss Xueqi, your uncle-in-law is very advanced. Since he volunteered to stay behind to cover our retreat, he must have a way to escape. You don't have to worry too much."

"The one who stayed behind is not your uncle, so of course you say so." Lu Xueqi retorted bluntly.

"You..." Bi Yao glanced away, not wanting to talk to Lu Xueqi, this stubborn girl, anymore. She didn't notice that Lu Xueqi's gaze had shifted to You Ji.

Lu Xueqi quickly came to You Ji's side and said with a bow, "Senior Zhuque, please go back and look for my uncle."

You Ji, who was searching for the pattern of the seven blood stones, froze, turned around and protested, "I am no match for that Black Water Mystic Serpent."

Lu Xueqi refused to budge. She immediately drew the Tianya Sword and pointed it directly at Youji's chest. The power of the Tai Chi Xuanqing Dao converged on the tip of the sword, ready to be unleashed. Her tone was icy, leaving no room for negotiation: "Senior, if you don't go, you will die immediately."

"What a famous and upright sect, what a disciple of Qingyun!" You Ji's silver teeth were almost broken by her biting.

The number of times she had been humiliated in the past two days exceeded the total number in her past three hundred years of life.

"Aunt You..." Bi Yao looked at You Ji worriedly, and her mood was not good anymore.

"It's okay, wait for me to come back." You Ji touched Bi Yao's head comfortingly, and left into the darkness without looking back.

"Miss Biyao." Lu Xueqi said.

"What do you want to do now? I'm not afraid of you!" Bi Yao looked at Lu Xueqi angrily.

Lu Xueqi finally smiled. "I want to tell you, don't worry. My uncle-in-law is extremely powerful and will definitely find a way to bring Senior Suzaku back with him."

……

On the ruthless sea.

When Youji returned to the starting point with the determination to die, she saw a scene that she would never forget.

In the boundless ice field, the giant snake bowed its head, and the ice sword in the hand of the unharmed young man shattered into ice crystals and drifted in all directions.

"Why are you back?" Russell frowned inadvertently when he sensed Youji's presence. "Didn't I ask you to take them to find the Bleeding Cave?"

"It's your nephew." You Ji complained and told Luo Su everything that happened in front of the Bleeding Cave. She asked tentatively, "I strictly followed the young man's instructions and didn't dare to have any other thoughts. Is this sword energy..."

"It's his turn." Russell snapped his fingers. You Ji felt a sense of relief in her heart and immediately breathed a sigh of relief. She pointed at the subdued Black Water Mystic Snake and asked, "What should we do with this guy?"

"Take it back to Qingyun Sect and make it a spiritual pet." Russell opened the Mountain and River Fan and threw it at the Black Water Mystic Snake.

The next moment, just like a Poké Ball capturing a Pokémon, the huge body of the Black Water Serpent turned into black light particles, condensing into the shape of a giant python on the surface of the Mountain and River Fan.

"Let's go," Russell said.

After a while, the two returned to the Bleeding Cave.

Lu Xueqi and Bi Yao, one worried about Russell and the other worried about You Ji, had no intention of finding a way to open the cave door. It was not until Russell and You Ji appeared in front of them that they were completely relieved.
