Chapter 456 What to do when your genius senior brother is determined to die? (22)
Zhao Zhao and Si Yi waited for more than a day in the endless yellow sand before they saw a red light appear on the horizon not far away, and a giant stone gate array imprinted with ancient demonic beasts appeared before their eyes.
The noise around them grew louder and louder. Si Yi shrugged and shook Zhao Zhao, who was sleeping with his head on his shoulder, off. Seeing that he was still not awake, he helplessly raised his hand and pulled Zhao Zhao into his arms.
"Zhao Zhao, wake up." He gently patted Zhao Zhao's cheek, which was covered in mud, and said again, "The Illusionary Netherworld has opened, we need to go in."
Zhao Zhao frowned in annoyance and slapped Si Yi's hand away. "I haven't had enough sleep yet, I'm exhausted."
Si Yi: "I told you to come back earlier..."
Zhao Zhao quickly covered her ears: "Okay, okay, I know, don't talk anymore!"
During this day and a half, Zhao Zhao was trying to find excuses to prevent Si Yi from entering the Illusionary Netherworld, and Si Yi was also trying his best to persuade Zhao Zhao to return to the Phoenix Spirit Sword Sect.
However, it's clear that neither of them succeeded.
"Sword Master, would you be willing to travel with us?"
A group of more than ten people, both men and women, were approaching. Their cultivation levels were mostly at the Golden Core and Nascent Soul stages. The leader was a handsome young man who was enthusiastically extending an olive branch to Si Yi.
Si Yi put on a business-like fake smile and politely declined: "Sorry, I'm used to traveling alone."
"Then I won't bother you any longer."
After they left, several other groups invited Si Yi to join them, but he refused them all. Zhao Zhao didn't understand why he was so decisive and asked, "Didn't you always tell me that the Illusionary Netherworld was very dangerous? Then why did you go in alone?"
Si Yi merely glanced at him sideways: "It's dangerous for you." He confidently replied: "I'm perfectly fine on my own."
With his current level of cultivation, he has the ability to explore all the secret realms in the world. Bringing others along would only be a hindrance.
He already had Zhaozhao in his way, but he didn't want to protect a few more.
Then, with a loud bang, the heavy and ancient stone gate of the Illusionary Netherworld slowly opened. Zhao Zhao rushed to Si Yi's side and held his hand tightly, afraid of getting lost from him.
After all, Zhao Zhao's cultivation level would probably not be enough for the demonic beasts there to swallow her whole.
Si Yi's expression turned unnatural for a moment. She gave him a couple of perfunctory shakes, but when she couldn't shake him off, she let him go. Then, a flash of white light appeared, and a large group of people from the desolate desert were teleported to the Illusionary Netherworld.
Less than half an hour later, the gate closed again, and it would not open again for another six months.
"Wow, this place is so beautiful, senior!"
Zhao Zhao and her companion were teleported by the secret realm to a sea of flowers. The colorful flowers danced in the wind, creating a vibrant scene that was completely out of place with the desert outside the secret realm.
He looked at the flowers, then at his surroundings, and found that there were only the two of them. He couldn't help but ask, "Senior brother, where are the others?" Before they entered the secret realm, there had been a large group of people around them.
"Don't worry about it, they were just teleported to other places by the secret realm."
At this moment, Si Yi took the initiative to grab Zhao Zhao's hand and said seriously, "Stay by my side and don't touch anything you shouldn't touch."
Zhao Zhao nodded honestly, promising not to cause any trouble, and that he would just take a look.
So, Si Yi looked at the road, Zhao Zhao looked at the flowers, Si Yi investigated the situation, and Zhao Zhao chattered away.
"I have never seen such a large sea of flowers before, it is simply breathtaking."
"What kind of flowers are these? Flowers from the secret realm, could they be poisonous?"
"Could a non-poisonous flower be a rare herb?"
Zhao Zhao was really curious. Because of his low cultivation level, he was never allowed to move around on this dangerous cultivation continent. Even in the relatively safe forest of the Phoenix Spirit Sword Sect, he only ever hunted bird eggs on the outskirts. Without his storage bag, he was often bullied by the big birds, which was really frustrating.
The boy, dressed in black, moved with the wind. His eyes, which had never seen the dangers of the world, were clear and excited as he stared at the sea of flowers in the distance, talking incessantly.
Si Yi, who had endured Zhao Zhao's noise for a long time, turned around and saw this situation. Surprisingly, she didn't spoil the mood and told him to shut up.
Unbeknownst to her, Si Yi had also begun to show a subtle degree of indulgence towards Zhao Zhao.
