Chapter 213 The Past I Dare Not Face
Suddenly embraced, the silver dragon's coiled body stiffened abruptly, its upper body instantly tensing into a straight line.
His golden vertical pupils stared blankly ahead, not daring to turn his head and meet Fei Xi's gaze.
Taking advantage of the moment when the silver dragon's body was stiff and dazed, Fei Xi lightly patted the dragon's head, spun around, and jumped into the black water pool.
The water surface only splashed a few tiny ripples, without making a sound.
By the time the silver dragon came to its senses and tried to stop it, it was too late.
It anxiously thrashed its tail repeatedly, its golden eyes fixed on the black water, trying to see where Fei Xi had gone.
No matter how it looked, it couldn't see what the dark, viscous black water looked like now.
That day, as the towering waves crashed in, he smelled that aura he loathed again.
When he struggled to the surface, he saw in the distance that the old man was fighting with a man named Lu Yun Chu.
Fei Xi remained unconscious and was held captive by a seemingly frail woman.
After capturing Fei Xi, the woman did not linger in the fight. Instead, she turned around and, with her guards, jumped onto a large ship.
He was about to chase after her to save her when he caught sight of a familiar figure jumping onto the boat right after her. Moreover, the person seemed to know the woman who had captured Fei Xi.
Just as he was surprised and about to chase after him to find out what was going on, he was suddenly attacked and knocked unconscious.
Before he fainted, he only heard one sentence that sent chills down his spine: "Huh, it's just a little loach."
When he awoke again, he was shocked to find that he had reverted to his true form and had been captured and imprisoned by a bespectacled man with a refined yet depraved appearance.
“Little mudfish, I’m a straightforward person and I would never stoop to using underhanded tactics.”
"Don't look at me with that suspicious look. I'll give you a chance. Let's play a game."
"I won't lie. There's a treasure in the water. If you can retrieve it, you can break the formation and leave on your own, and I won't stop you."
After saying these words with a smile, the bespectacled man disappeared from his sight.
He never saw this person again after that.
Although this was the first time he had ever met this person.
However, the clan elders had repeatedly warned that if they encountered a group of people they had to run away from immediately, one of them would have a face that looked exactly like the man with glasses.
is it him?
That being who is not tolerated by the Six Realms.
They are also the most cunning and ruthless scoundrels!
……
It’s so cold!
Fei Xi felt like her bones were about to go numb from the cold.
Where is this place?
Aside from knowing her name was Fei Xi, she didn't remember who she was or why she was in the water.
At the bottom of the azure water, looking up, you can see a blood-red sky.
Fei Xi stretched out her hand, her small palm waving in front of her eyes.
Is this her hand?
How can it be so small?
She stared at her little hands, thinking for a long time, but couldn't figure it out.
She decided to stop thinking about it; it was too cold here, and she needed to get out quickly.
The water stretched out endlessly, without any shimmering boundaries, devoid of any plants or creatures.
Apart from the cold blue water and the blood-red sky that seemed so close, there was nothing here.
The vast underwater world was so quiet that even the sound of an arm cutting through the water was mute.
In the silence, Fei Xi could only hear the increasingly strong thought in her mind: I want to get out!
She kept swimming upwards, she didn't remember how long she swam, she couldn't feel the passage of time.
She swam upwards, waving her arms, oblivious to hunger, exhaustion, or the suffocating pain that should have been caused by lack of oxygen.
Fei Xi couldn't remember who had told her that existence stems from suffering, and that people can only feel alive when they are in pain.
But what about her? Why can't she feel anything except cold? Is she really still alive?
At this moment, swimming upstream is the only thing she can do to prove that she is still alive.
She didn't know how long she had been swimming. Sometimes she would stop and stare at the blood-red sky, as if waiting for someone to come and see her. Sometimes, a surge of resentment would well up inside her, but she didn't know how to vent it.
She felt herself crying, but with water all around, she couldn't even feel her own tears.
Why is this happening?
Why do you do this to her?
Why did she have to go through all this?
She asked so many "whys" that even the word "why" became unfamiliar to her.
The day Fei Xi realized that even her resentment was beginning to dissipate.
A chill ran from my feet down to every strand of hair, completely swallowed up by something called "loneliness".
She stopped her long-standing, protracted upstream journey.
The azure water enveloped her, and she gradually sank.
Something vanished from her body, and she could no longer find it.
That is the wind in the wilderness, rustling and whispering, the very sounds and shadows of life; that is the dust, swirling and rising, yet all cannot escape returning to dust; that is the fleeting flame, dazzling and brilliant, before ultimately plunging into eternal darkness.
She found herself surrounded only by the azure water before her, unable even to find peace in the darkness.
She opened her arms, embracing only emptiness, which chilled the last bit of warmth from her heart.
Maybe, that's how it is...
The black water gurgled and began to bubble.
This anomaly immediately alerted the silver dragon that had been waiting by the black water.
His eyes were wide open, staring intently at the black water that was undergoing a strange change.
That guy with glasses is definitely no good!
He had previously been skeptical and tried to retrieve something from the water.
However, the moment he touched the Blackwater, everything his people had experienced surged through his mind like a tidal wave.
kill!kill!kill!
He wants to slaughter everyone!
Just as his murderous intent was about to spiral out of control, a pair of eyes suddenly appeared in his mind.
No, that's not right! He never wanted the hatred to last forever.
Those eyes stared at him indifferently, but just as he was about to break down, they reached out their hands to him:
“Tell me your heart, for benevolence is in your heart, and you can bring peace to the world.”
He suddenly opened his eyes and pulled his tail back.
Horrible, really terrible!
Although this black water will not harm the body, it will constantly erode people's minds, making them see the things they fear most and are most unwilling to face.
When a person despairs because of fear, their true self is killed by their own hands, and they fall into an eternal hell from which they can never be freed.
Unable to escape and disturbed by the sights he had witnessed before losing consciousness, he continued to try to retrieve objects from the water, hoping to gain his freedom and investigate further, even though he knew the dangers of the black water and was unwilling to touch it again.
But each time he tried to delve deeper, he was nearly driven to the brink of losing control by the most desperate emotions within him.
Fortunately, he always remembered what his friend had said and came to his senses in time.
He had some suspicions that his friend might have done something to him.
But he dared not take the risk at this moment. Fei Xi was still in the water, and if he jumped in, he would probably lose control as well.
If he were to hurt her, that would be the last thing he wanted to see.
