My Xiuxian painting style is not right

Chapter 186 Mermaid 2 (Page 13)

Chen Yu suddenly thought of something and his expression changed drastically.

"System!" He called the system anxiously in his heart.

"System? System, are you there?"

However, no matter how he called, the system did not respond.

"Oh no, there's really something wrong with the system!" Chen Yu's heart sank, and an ominous premonition came to his mind.

At this moment, he felt dizzy, as if the whole world was spinning.

He tried hard to stay awake, but he couldn't resist the increasingly strong feeling of dizziness. His eyelids became heavier and heavier. Finally, his eyes went black and he completely lost consciousness.

After an unknown amount of time, Chen Yu felt itchy on his face, as if there were small insects crawling on it.

He opened his eyes drowsily and saw an enlarged face that was almost touching the tip of his nose.

"Xiaoya, what are you doing?" Chen Yu reached out and pushed Xiaoya's face away.

Xiaoya held a piece of dogtail grass in her hand and said with a pout, "Master, you are finally awake!

I'm bored, so..."

Chen Yu sat up and looked around. It was a green meadow surrounded by towering ancient trees. The air was filled with the fresh fragrance of flowers, and birds were singing happily in the branches.

"Where is this?" Chen Yu rubbed his still dizzy head.

Liu Ruyan came over, holding an unknown wild flower in her hand, and waved it in front of Chen Yu: "Master, you are finally awake!

We didn’t know where we were, we just woke up here.”

Only then did Chen Yu notice that Lin Qingxue and Su Wan'er were also lying not far away, with their eyes closed, seemingly still unconscious.

"Qingxue! Wan'er!" Chen Yu hurried to their side and reached out to check their breath. Fortunately, they were still breathing.

He gently patted Lin Qingxue's cheek: "Qingxue, wake up!"

Lin Qingxue slowly opened her eyes, a confused look in her eyes: "Chen Yu...where are we?"

"I don't know either." Chen Yu shook his head. "I just remember... Lan Xi singing..."

"There's something wrong with Lan Xi's singing!" Su Wan'er also woke up, her face pale. "I felt like my consciousness was being controlled at that time."

"Me too." Liu Ruyan nodded. "That song is like a magic that makes people want to fall asleep involuntarily."

Chen Yu's heart trembled. Lan Xi's singing could actually affect their consciousness. This was no trivial matter.

He tried to contact the system again: "System! System!"

However, the system still did not respond, like a cold stone, silent.

"The system... is really broken..." Chen Yu muttered to himself, his heart filled with uneasiness.

Without the system, he felt like he had lost his greatest support. How could he survive in this world full of dangers?

"What should we do now?" Xiaoya asked timidly, "We seem to be lost."

Chen Yu took a deep breath and tried to remain calm: "Don't panic, let's first figure out where we are, and then find a way to leave."

He stood up and looked around, trying to find some clues.

In the distance, a towering mountain comes into view, with the outlines of some buildings vaguely visible on the top of the mountain.

"Maybe we can go over there and take a look." Chen Yu said, pointing to the mountain.

Lin Qingxue nodded: "That's good, it's better than waiting here."

So Chen Yu and his group walked towards the mountain.

Along the way, they carefully avoided some unknown plants and insects, for fear of encountering any danger.

After walking for about an hour, they came to a clear stream.

"Let's take a break first." Chen Yu said, "Everyone is hungry."

They sat by the stream, took out some dry food and water from their storage bags, and ate a simple meal.

"Master, do you think we will meet Lan Xi again?" Liu Ruyan asked while eating dry food.

Chen Yu shook his head: "I don't know, but I think we'd better be careful. Lan Xi's singing is too weird."

Lin Qingxue also said: "That's right, we must be vigilant and not fall into her trap again."

After a short rest, they continued on their journey.

As they got closer to the mountain, the surrounding trees became increasingly dense, blocking out the sky and almost all the sunlight.

There was a damp smell in the air, which made people feel a little depressed.

Suddenly, a rustling sound came from the grass.

Chen Yu and others immediately became alert, drew their weapons, and looked around warily.

"Who's there?" Chen Yu shouted sternly.

The grass shook and a figure slowly walked out.

He was a short old man with white hair and beard, wearing a tattered linen robe and holding a cane in his hand.

The old man was stunned when he saw Chen Yu and the others, then smiled and said, "Where are you from, my friends?"

Chen Yu looked at the old man and saw that he had a kind face and did not look like a bad person, so he put down his guard and said, "Old man, we are lost. Where is this place?"

The old man chuckled and said, "This is Yunwu Mountain, and I am the mountain keeper here."

"Yunwu Mountain?" Chen Yu's heart moved. He seemed to have heard this name somewhere.

"Old man, do you know how to leave here?" Chen Yu asked.

The old man nodded and said, "I know, I know. If we keep going along this path, we will be able to get out of Yunwu Mountain."

Chen Yu thanked the old man and continued to move forward with everyone.

They walked along the path for about an incense stick's time, and an open area appeared in front of them.

In the center of the open space, there is an ancient altar. Around the altar are some stone statues. The statues have strange shapes and hideous faces, as if they were evil spirits crawling out of hell.

In the center of the altar, there was a black long sword, which emitted a cold light that made people shudder.

"What is this place?" Xiaoya asked with some fear as she looked at the scene in front of her.

"I don't know." Chen Yu shook his head, "But this is definitely not a good place."

He looked around and found that the stone statues around the altar seemed to be arranged according to some pattern, forming a strange formation.

"Be careful, there may be some danger here." Chen Yu reminded.

He walked to the altar and looked closely at the black sword.

There were some ancient characters carved on the hilt of the long sword. Chen Yu did not recognize these characters, but he could feel that there was a powerful force hidden in these characters.

"Master, this sword..." Liu Ruyan also walked over and looked at the sword with a hint of surprise in her eyes.

"What's wrong?" Chen Yu asked.

"This sword... seems to be a magic weapon." Liu Ruyan said after hesitating for a moment.

"Magic weapon?" Chen Yu's heart moved. He had heard of magic weapons. It was a magic weapon corroded by demonic energy. It possessed powerful power, but was also full of danger.

"Are you sure?" Chen Yu asked.

Liu Ruyan nodded. "I've seen records of magic weapons in ancient books. The shape and aura of this sword are very similar to those recorded in the ancient books."

Chen Yu was silent for a moment. He looked at the sword in front of him and suddenly a bold idea came to his mind.

"If I could get this magic weapon..."

He grasped the hilt of the sword and pulled it out with force.

"Buzz!"

With a sound of sword sound, the long sword was unsheathed, and a black light shot up into the sky and pierced the clouds.

The stone statues around the altar suddenly came alive, and they pounced towards Chen Yu and others with their fangs and claws bared.

"Be careful!" Lin Qingxue shouted, drew out his sword and rushed forward.

Liu Ruyan, Su Wan'er and Xiaoya also used their magic weapons to fight with the stone statue.

Chen Yu held the black sword in his hand and felt a powerful force flowing into his body from the sword. His body seemed to be bursting by this force.

He endured the discomfort in his body, brandished his sword, and killed the stone statues that rushed towards him one by one.

Wherever the black sword light passed, the stone statues shattered and turned into a pile of rubble.

Chen Yu became more and more courageous as the battle went on. He felt like a killing machine, tireless and fearless.

"Hahaha! Is this the power of the magic weapon?" Chen Yu laughed wildly, his eyes filled with excitement.

Lin Qingxue and others felt a little worried when they saw Chen Yu's condition.

"Chen Yu, be careful!" Lin Qingxue warned loudly, "The magic weapon will affect your mind!"

"Hahaha! Mind? I don't need a mind anymore!" Chen Yu laughed wildly, his voice becoming hoarse and unfamiliar. "What I have now is infinite power!"

He brandished his sword and attacked Lin Qingxue and the others.

"Chen Yu, you're crazy!" Lin Qingxue exclaimed.

She hurriedly swung her sword to block, but found that Chen Yu's strength was several times stronger than before, and she could not resist at all.

"boom!"

With a loud bang, Lin Qingxue was knocked away by Chen Yu's sword and fell heavily to the ground.

"Qingxue!" Liu Ruyan and others exclaimed and hurried forward to check Lin Qingxue's injuries.

Chen Yu did not pursue. He stood where he was, looking at the sword in his hand, a trace of confusion flashed in his eyes.

"I...what's wrong with me?"

He felt that his consciousness was slowly returning, but the evil energy in his body was constantly eroding his sanity.

"No! I can't be controlled by evil energy!"

Chen Yu tried desperately to control his body, but the evil spirit was like a maggot on his tarsal bone and he couldn't get rid of it.

"Hahaha! It's useless! You've become my slave!"

A cold voice sounded in Chen Yu's mind.

"Who are you?" Chen Yu asked.

"I am the sword spirit of this magic sword. From the moment you grasped the hilt, your fate has been controlled by me!"

The sword spirit smiled triumphantly and said, "Now, give me your body, and I will let you experience unprecedented power!"

"No! I will never surrender!" Chen Yu gritted his teeth and desperately resisted the control of the sword spirit.

"Humph! If you don't accept my toast, then I'll punish you!" The sword spirit snorted coldly, "Since you don't accept my toast, don't blame me for being ruthless!"

A powerful force surged from the sword into Chen Yu's body. Chen Yu suddenly felt his consciousness begin to blur, and his body was already walking uncontrollably towards Lin Qingxue and others.

"Hahaha! Go to hell!" Chen Yu let out the sword spirit's wild laughter.

"Chen Yu!" Lin Qingxue and others closed their eyes in despair.

The black sword in Chen Yu's hand was buzzing and vibrating, like a beast thirsty for blood.

The scarlet color in his eyes became more and more intense, and a strange smile appeared at the corner of his mouth. He walked towards Lin Qingxue and others step by step.

"Chen Yu! Wake up!" Lin Qingxue struggled to stand up, covering her chest, with a trace of blood at the corner of her mouth.

Liu Ruyan, Su Wan'er and Xiaoya also stared at Chen Yu nervously, holding their weapons tightly in their hands.

"Hehehe..." Chen Yu let out a strange laugh from his throat and approached step by step.

"Go to hell!" He raised the black sword and slashed at Lin Qingxue.
