Wedding Night: I Am Forced To Marry A Dragon Girl

Chapter 653: Chapter 653: Mysterious Mountain Top
 

As Huo Shuyu and the others moved, the blood fog slowly enveloped them, hiding their figures completely.

In the end, the blood fog, along with the strange mountain peaks, disappeared entirely.

Not long after, a white-haired old man with a giant ghost head knife rushed to this place. Staring at the seemingly endless dense forest before him, he frowned deeply.

“Impossible, the presence was here before. How could it disappear so suddenly?”

The white-haired old man squinted his eyes, continuously searching for possible traces around him.

But he found nothing.

Just when he was about to continue walking forward, a group of people suddenly rushed to the spot at a great speed.

The white-haired old man stopped them. He was about to question them whether they had seen Jiang Xiaobai and others, when he was shocked to find that these people had hollow and unfocused eyes!

“What happened with you all?”

He asked, with his eyebrows severely knitted.

But the group of people was completely silent, their eyes glazed and staring blankly at the sky.

No matter how often he questioned, the people showed no reaction whatsoever.

Looking up following their gaze, the white-haired old man failed to see anything, and anger began to fester.

With an outpouring of spiritual power, he roared out.

“All of you, wake up!”

The shock from the spiritual power combined with soul completely woke up the people in front of him.

After they woke up, their faces filled with confusion as they looked around, only then realizing the presence of the white-haired old man.

Feeling the terrifying aura on the old man, they all grew deeply afraid.

“I ask you, what exactly happened? You seemed to have been mentally manipulated by something,” the white-haired old man squinted and questioned.

His immediate instinct was to blame Jiang Xiaobai; the boy was indeed very mysterious.

“Sir, to be honest, we just saw a patch of blood-red fog and seemed to see a mountain peak,” one of them replied.

“That’s why we ran here.”

Blood-red fog?

Mysterious mountain peak?

The face of the white-haired man filled with astonishment. He had been following Jiang Xiaobai all this while and reached here, yet he hadn’t seen anything!

Not to mention the weird blood fog, this entire place was flat. Apart from dense forests, there were only dense forests.

He had not seen any mountain at all!

“Are you all lying to me?” Danger radiated from the white-haired old man.

The people immediately knelt on the ground, trembling.

“No, we dare not. All we said was the truth, we wouldn’t dream to deceive you, sir!”

After asking for a while without getting any coherent answers, the white-haired old man could only give up and keep walking forward.

…

On the bear mountain peak, Huo Shuyu and others sat on the ground, completely exhausted.

Somehow, when they ran to the peak, the higher they climbed, the faster their energy was depleted!

They only reached half of the mountainside, and they were already completely drained!

Especially Sun Gangniang, whose strength was the lowest. It was a miracle he didn’t pass out during the climb!

He was currently lying on the slope not far away from the group, gasping for breath. No matter how he tried to use his spiritual power to stand, he simply couldn’t.

“This place is truly strange.”

Huo Shuyu’s face turned as pale as a sheet, a foreboding feeling rising in his heart.

However, the only thing worth celebrating was that they ran all the way here without seeing any pursuers.

If there were pursuers considering their current situation, they would undoubtedly die!

Looking at Jiang Xiaobai, who was still unconscious in her arms, Huo Shuyu felt even more indignant.

Sitting cross-legged, she laid Jiang Xiaobai on the ground. She planned to recover some spiritual power before leaving this damned place.

Yet at this moment, Jianqi suddenly cried out.

“Look quickly! There’s nothing there anymore!”

Everyone followed her pointing gaze; shock filled their hearts.

They had been able to see the shape of the outer forest when climbing the mountain previously.

Although there was some thin blood fog, it did not cause a blockage of vision.

But now, apart from the scarlet fog, there was nothing confirmed.

They seemed to have entered another world.

A strange world isolated from reality!

Immediately, everyone began to panic. This place was just too bizarre!

They had never heard of such a place in this secret realm!

“You all try to recover your spiritual power. I’ll check Jiang Bai’s condition.”

Huo Shuyu, gritting her teeth, used all her strength to squat beside Jiang Bai.

After a quick check, she felt a chill went down her spine.

Jiang Bai’s injuries were extremely severe!

The gruesome knife wound on his back was actually not the major issue. Now, Jiang Bai’s internal channels were in disastrous condition.

His spiritual power was even continuously being drained.

A peculiar force resided in his dantian. Huo Shuyu did not understand what was going on, but she was certain,

If they didn’t rectify this condition, Jiang Bai would be completely devoured by this special force.

“Was it the work of the Blade Shadow Sect?”

“But the Blade Shadow Sect doesn’t have any kind of such bizarre magic.”

Huo Shuyu’s heart filled with fear. However, she couldn’t gather any spiritual power to carefully examine Jiang Bai’s condition.

Having no other choice, she fed Jiang Bai a pill, then began to practice meditation on the ground.

As time passed, they all discovered a terrifying situation.

They could not recover their spiritual power!

Despite the immensely abundant spiritual energy in their surroundings, and their capability to absorb it, they couldn’t recover any spiritual power!

With this condition, their situation was alarmingly dangerous!

They couldn’t climb upward, and they didn’t dare to descend!

No one knew what the situation was. If they recklessly went down without any spiritual power, the slightest encounter with a person might finish them.

Ning Luo had issued a search warrant. Not only were there many martial arts experts, but also many high-level experts who worked for him.

Those people were all after their lives.Nôv(el)B\\jnn

They were trapped between a rock and a hard place. Huo Shuyu only hoped that nothing would go wrong on this strange mountain.

Just when she was thinking about this, Sun Gagniang, who was lying on the downslope, wasn’t steadied and rolled down the mountain.

Petrified screams echoed as everyone’s heart tightened.

Thankfully, he just rolled down a distance without any severe consequences.

“You clumsy, can’t you be more stable?” Jianqi shouted angrily at him.

Sun Gagniang scratched his head and instinctively tried to stand up. Surprisingly, he found himself able to stand!

Not only that, but his spiritual power was also recovering slowly.

He immediately conveyed this situation to Huo Shuyu and others. For a while, Huo Shuyu and others felt their heart pounding.

What the hell was going on?

After thinking for a while, Huo Shuyu decided to attempt it. After all, if moving down could recover the spiritual power, then there would be a way out for them.

Alive on this mountain about which they knew nothing, they could be a little relieved.

But at this time, a listless voice floated towards them.

“Don’t go downwards. Once you descend, getting back up will be difficult.”

As the voice fell, a woman who was bound all over with bandages revealed herself before them.
