He was stunned for a moment and realized that his body was still br.i.m.m.i.n.g with power, as if he had just had a dream. This dream was very scary.

"Am I standing here with my eyes closed and having a dream?"

As Xu Xuan thought about this, he couldn"t help but take another look at the portrait on the left. The mural was still the same as before, but the woman on the second picture had already become extremely blurry, and he couldn"t even see her figure clearly.

"Could it be true?"

Xu Xuan could not help but frown.

"You still want to look? If you get dragged in, I won"t be able to save you anymore! "

A familiar yet clear voice abruptly sounded from Xu Xuan"s right, causing him to be shocked. He looked at his right shoulder, where a seven-colored bird was weakly lying on it, its body emitting a faint seven-colored light.

"Is that for real?" Was it the girl who saved me? The last time was also a girl, how should I repay her? "

Xu Xuan"s eyes were filled with surprise. The existence of the bird made him understand that all of this was real, that the seven-colored bird looked really weak right now.

"Don"t speak nonsense to me. You can either leave now or leave through this gate of light now. Just leave this place first."

This made Xu Xuan even more certain that this exquisite bird was the bird that saved his life the last time. To be able to meet her again, this was fate, and this made Xu Xuan feel that he had the chance to repay her saving grace in the future.

"I also think that this place is too dangerous!"

When he thought about everything that had happened before, Xu Xuan was certain that it was something that could confuse his soul. If he had truly been struck by it, he would have probably drowned in it, and then never come out again, and would have died here.

And it seemed like this was the second time the other party had saved him. Furthermore, every time they met with a life and death situation, they had saved him. Xu Xuan really did not know how to repay this kindness.

Xu Xuan couldn"t help but be a little afraid, he still didn"t know what kind of dangers were lurking behind this door of light. This pa.s.sage might not seem dangerous before, but this danger was actually hiding in a place that he didn"t care about at all.

Thinking about it, Xu Xuan didn"t think much and turned around to swim back. He didn"t dare look at the frescoes on the side, even the flowers and gra.s.s, he didn"t dare look at them, afraid that some ferocious beast would jump out from within.

"You …" You truly are a little kid. There are treasures at the other end of the tunnel. Go back and take them away before you leave. "

If it had not smelled the unique aura and undulations of the treasure, it would not have come to this deep pool. It would also not have discovered Xu Xuan, nor would it have made it feel as if it had been hollowed out. It had paid such a huge price, to actually want to return now, how could it be willing?

"Treasure, treasure!"

"s eyes lit up when he heard it, he had originally come here to see if there were any treasures, but he was more curious back then, and now that he heard the mysterious bird say that there was a treasure inside, his body couldn"t help but feel like it was p.r.i.c.king his body, his eyes shining brightly.

He remembered very clearly that the last time he was about to fall off a cliff at the most dangerous moment, was when this colorful bird went to find a piece of profound medicine and Profound Heart Gra.s.s to save him. And this time, the other party said that there was a treasure, causing him to be unable to help himself from suspecting whether this little bird had some kind of G.o.dly ability, which was to be able to find treasures. Otherwise, how could it have found a stalk of Profound Heart Gra.s.s so quickly in the forest the last time?

"Alright, treasure. For the sake of treasure, what"s there to be afraid of?"

Xu Xuan clapped his hands, changed his direction, and swam towards the light door.

"Crash!"

In just a few breaths of time, Xu Xuan had charged out of the gate of light and appeared in a small pond.

This pond was not big, and was only the size of two houses. The water was not deep either.

He immediately released the mental strength to scan his surroundings and immediately saw everything that was happening around him.

Around the pond, there were a lot of stone tunnels, forming a circle around the pond. The walls of the road were made of rugged stones, and the stone tunnels were about two to three meters wide, but it seemed like no one had walked there for a long time.

In the middle of the pool, there was a rock dragon that looked like a fake mountain. This was made of giant rocks, but if one looked closely, they would see that they looked like a dragon"s head.

Xu Xuan did not think too much about it. He first came to the stone path by the sh.o.r.e.

At this moment, his entire body was drenched. He used his body to lightly tremble, and a faint strand of profound energy around him was pushed outwards. Instantly, all of the water on his clothes scattered into thin droplets and fell onto the ground.

The seven-colored bird laid on Xu Xuan"s shoulder, and then rolled its eyes at Xu Xuan: "You actually wasted profound energy to dry your clothes at this time, you truly are a fool. There might be some dangers inside, and profound energy is very precious, especially for you.

Xu Xuan was slightly stunned, but he was certain that the other party"s words were reasonable. However, he glanced at the bird, and said again and again while walking: "Cough cough, I was actually afraid that my savior would be uncomfortable while staying on top of my wet clothes."

"Hmph, you don"t need to care about my matters. As for saving you, I just coincidentally met you, the unlucky one. If it wasn"t for your lack of mental fort.i.tude, would you have been enchanted by those frescoes?"

The little bird snorted, but it could not help but feel warm in its heart. It did not expect this fellow who always brought it bad luck to be so meticulous, but when it thought of the small tent it saw at that place, it tilted its head to the side, and its heartbeat quickened.

"Eh, two doors. Which way are we going?"

There were two stone doors at one end of the stone path. Xu Xuan could only ask the seven-colored bird, since it said that there was a treasure inside, it might even know where it was.

The little bird suddenly stood up and then actually sniffed it, causing Xu Xuan"s face to fiercely twitch. This function seemed to be a dog"s innate skill, he didn"t think that this mysterious bird would actually sniff it.

A transparent sound wave rushed out from the bird"s nose, spread out to both sides, and then returned.

"En, take the right path. Hehe, it seems to be a good item!"

The Exquisite Bird laid on Xu Xuan"s shoulder, her eyes revealing a slow look of antic.i.p.ation.

"Well you, uh, beautiful bird, what was that mural on the wall just now? Can you explain it to me? "

As he carefully walked towards the right pa.s.sage, Xu Xuan couldn"t help but ask in a low voice.

"That is called the soul-retraction! "It"s an extremely evil art."

Since there was nothing else to do, the exquisite bird decided that there was no need to hide it from this silly brat.

This soul-retraction was extremely strange and sinister, and its usage had many limitations. It could only be used on murals and other objects, and had to be used in multiple sets of murals to form a whole.

If there was only one set of frescoes on the stone wall, it wouldn"t be too dangerous at all. Furthermore, the frescoes in front of them were only there to attract people"s attention.

The mural on the right was filled with flowers and plants, while the beautiful women on the left was drawn in order to give you a sense of contrast. When you looked at the mural on the right, you naturally felt that there was no such thing as attractive left, and then you would pay more attention to the painting on the left.

The paintings in front of him weren"t dangerous at all, because under normal circ.u.mstances, at the beginning, you would have a defensive mentality and would only occasionally glance at them. However, after looking at them a few times, you would realize that there wasn"t any danger at all.

When you keep looking down, you will slowly fall into the trap of the soul-retraction, especially those paintings, the further you look, the more lifelike the painting would be, and it was very difficult for you to not see them, and your soul, was also continuously being drawn by the soul-retraction hidden in the frescoes.

The last painting looked like a real person performing in front of you, and the soul-retraction was also the strongest painting in the set. As long as you looked at it for a few seconds, your soul would be attracted to their Soul Sacrifice Realm.

Naturally, you may be a person with determination, but if you sense something was wrong, you would immediately turn around. However, with you turning your head, the last painting on the right side suddenly changed, no longer being flowers or gra.s.s, and it was also an almost equal temptation. This way, it would be even more difficult for you to escape from this soul-retraction.

After Xu Xuan heard it, he couldn"t help but feel his hair stand on end. It seemed that he was seduced step by step like this.

"I am a person with strong willpower. I broke free from the left mural, but I was bewitched by the right in the end."

Xu Xuan said somewhat gloomily, but then he once again attracted the looks of disdain from the Exquisite Bird.
