”Follow me.” Nangong Chu took a glance at Shui Qinan before his body quickly turned into a shadow and disappeared from the Pear Garden. Shui Qinan quickly followed suit and disappeared from the Pear Garden as well.
Nangong Chu brought Shui Qinan out of the island's enchantment unimpeded, and the two of them floated in the sea at the southwest corner of the island. Nangong Chu pointed to a slightly white reef below them, ”That's the entrance!”
It turned out that the man from the demon world had flipped the sea surface, but because they had stopped him, half of the cities and towns were at the bottom of the sea.
Shui Qinan looked at it as she carefully sized it up. When Shui Qinan saw Nangong Chu quickly enter the ocean, it seemed as if something had cut a gap in the ocean water that could only fit one person. Shui Qinan withdrew her doubts and jumped down.
After entering the ocean, Shui Qinan first found Nangong Chu standing at the entrance to wait for her. Secondly, what surprised Shui Qinan was that he could still breathe freely underwater.
Nangong Chu seemed to understand her doubt and explained, ”Maybe it's because of what the man from the demon realm did. A part of this broken city that had sunk into the sea was protected by a strong barrier that prevented even the ocean water from breaking through.”
Shui Qinan finally understood that she had become slightly interested in this town that had sunk into the sea. Shui Qinan and Nangong Chu were walking on the road in the town. Although this was the reverse of nature and heaven, they were still able to walk on land.
Shui Qinan looked at this desolate town without a soul in sight, the houses were still as new as before. Shui Qinan looked at the mask of a year old doll that Xiao You had played with before, and only wanted to touch it, but just as her fingers touched it, it turned into a pile of white ashes and disappeared. It was only then that Shui Qinan realized the strangeness of this city. Perhaps there was something that supported this world.
Nangong Chu naturally saw this scene, and the expression in his eyes dimmed a little. Suddenly, Shui Qinan discovered a cluster of red light at the north side of the town. Shui Qinan felt that this was probably the Flaming Cloud Beast that she was looking for. Shui Qinan and Nangong Chu looked at each other, then quickly rushed towards the north.
When the two of them arrived, they found themselves in a forest. The Flaming Cloud Beast s had these fine cloud patterns on their red bodies, and their entire bodies were faintly emitting flames. The forest in front of them might have changed due to it, but every tree seemed to have an eternal flame.
Shui Qinan and Nangong Chu looked at each other with concern. They could see from each other's eyes that they were in trouble. The Flaming Cloud Beast also seemed to know that someone had invaded its territory. It hid within the forest and looked at the two weak humans with unfriendly eyes, giving them a disdainful snort.
Shui Qinan saw that it was snorting disdainfully, and a small spark came out of its nose. Shui Qinan didn't mind that it would make the best use of this method, since she had a bit more confidence in winning. However, Shui Qinan was somewhat suspicious that this Flaming Cloud Beast seemed to be extremely unwilling to leave the place where it was standing, and its body was even intentionally blocking their line of sight.
Shui Qinan gave Nangong Chu a look, and Nangong Chu immediately caught the attention of the Flaming Cloud Beast. The moment the Flaming Cloud Beast stood up, Shui Qinan was shocked to see that the Flaming Cloud Beast was actually guarding a strange flame.
The bottom of the sea was already surprising to it. The trees that glowed with fire had even seen the first trace of fire between heaven and earth that was fought for by the world. No wonder no one was able to find it, it was at the bottom of the sea!
