The yandere senior sister pretended to be stupid to trick me, it made me feel numb!

Chapter 794 Nightmare Ghost Willow

"Why do you ask this?"

Zhao Mu paused, turned his head slightly, and asked with some curiosity.

"Do you know that you sped up without warning and bumped into me and hurt me!"

Seeing the other person's behavior, Yu Ying was genuinely angry, even blurting out such private words. After all, it's not easy to mention something like a dent to someone of the opposite sex.

"Sorry!"

Zhao Mu chuckled and said, "I'll be more careful next time, but don't blame me. My partner used to carry me when we ran away, so I really don't have much experience."

"..."

Yu Ying was completely convinced. To prevent herself from being bumped and deformed again, she simply pressed herself tightly against Zhao Mu's back and urged, "I'll do it myself. You hurry up and get going. I'm feeling creeped out in this open space."

"Ah."

Zhao Mu lifted Yu Ying's buttocks and sped across the muddy swamp like lightning.

Although this area was not small, it only took half an hour to completely escape it at full speed, and then they crashed into a new foggy area. If Yu Ying had come in alone, she would probably have become blind again, because the suppression of divine sense was even stronger here.

Fortunately, even so, Zhao Mu's divine sense detection range remained stable at over ten miles. Even if his divine sense was completely suppressed, Zhao Mu still had the ability to detect with his soul.

"We seem to have stumbled upon an island. The spiritual energy here is much denser than anywhere else we've been. Be careful; there's a high probability that a seventh-tier demon beast exists in this kind of place."

Yu Ying lay on Zhao Mu's back and whispered a reminder in his ear.

"Ok!"

Zhao Mu was on high alert. Something was definitely off about this place. As soon as he stepped in, he felt like hundreds of eyes were staring at him, which made his skin crawl.

If we really encounter a seventh-tier demon beast, that would be a real problem.

Yu Ying is currently unable to use her cultivation, and he... is most likely no match for her. Moreover, even if he could defeat the seventh-tier demon beast, he would have no choice but to flee while taking care of Yu Ying.

"No, let's go back out!"

"Ok!"

Yu Ying agreed with Zhao Mu's caution, because this place made her subconsciously hug Zhao Mu's waist and back, a very abnormal reaction.

Zhao Mu carried Yu Ying away carefully, not daring to make too much noise, and even slowed down his speed. However, just when they were about to leave this foggy area and return to the swampy area, they were about to leave.

rustling sound~

Suddenly, countless tentacles descended from the sky.

"Brother Zhao, be careful!"

Yu Ying was shocked. The speed of these tentacles far exceeded that of the Great Perfection of the Void Realm. In other words, the owner of the tentacles was at least at the early stage of the seventh rank.

Fortunately, Zhao Mu was prepared and perfectly executed the "Sleeve-Sweeping Shadow" technique, narrowly avoiding the seemingly fatal attack and spinning and leaping between the tentacles.

Yu Ying had no time to pay attention to the friction between herself and Zhao Mu at this moment; she stared at the tentacles that were so close to her and examined them carefully.

It was emerald green, lacked any trace of flesh and blood, and wasn't very strong, because Zhao Mu had used his magical artifact to cut through many of them.

As for her, after Zhao Mu freed his hands, her two legs were firmly locked around his waist like swimming dragons, just like a small and cute koala.

"Run, run quickly! This is the Nightmare Ghost Willow. Avoid those vines and don't cut them down again. Once you cut them down, they will release nightmare energy and trap people in endless nightmares."

According to clan records, the Nightmare Willow deep within the Tempering Swamp had already reached the seventh rank three thousand years ago. After all these years, it has most likely reached the mid-seventh rank, making it far beyond our capabilities.

hiss~

Zhao Mu gasped. Mid-stage seventh rank?

Fortunately, they were plant-type monsters, and because they were alert in advance, they did not venture too deep. Due to their enormous size, moving was not easy and their speed was not fast, so they could only use vines to trap them.

The probability of them successfully retreating is not small.

Whoosh whoosh~

Upon hearing Yu Ying's reminder, Zhao Mu immediately put away his heavy spear, no longer daring to hack his way through, and could only keep looking for gaps to escape.

Suddenly, he noticed his neck was wet and itchy. He turned his head and saw that Yu Ying was licking it with her tongue.

"..."

Zhao Mu was speechless for a moment, then quickly patted her bottom, "Fairy Yu, wake up, this is my neck, not a chicken leg."

He wasn't stupid; of course he knew that Yu Ying had been affected by the nightmare energy and had fallen victim to it.

As for himself, there's absolutely no need to worry. After all, he dared to jump into the Blood Abyss back then, so this little thing can't shake his rock-solid soul space at all.

Trapped in an endless nightmare?

Let alone a seventh-tier, even an eighth or ninth-tier Nightmare Ghost Willow would be dumbfounded.

"Hey, hey, don't bite!"

When Zhao Mu saw Yu Ying open her mouth, he was startled. However, Yu Ying, who was trapped in a nightmare, couldn't hear what he was saying at all and took a big bite.

"Sigh~"

Yu Ying is currently unable to use her spiritual power, so Zhao Mu dares not break her teeth. He can only deliberately remove the defenses on that part and soften them.

That really hurts, damn it. This woman definitely has a crazy streak.

"Waist, waist, waist, ouch~"

Yu Ying's legs were like ropes with slipknots, pulling inwards with all their might. Zhao Mu felt like his kidneys were about to be crushed, and had no choice but to manually pry them open.

Under these multiple attacks, they continued to retreat out of the dense fog.

The vines grew in number, spreading from top to bottom, from bottom to top, from front to back, densely packed together, almost weaving into an impenetrable cloth.

"No wonder there's no sign of life here; these things have eaten it all!"

As Zhao Mu cursed under his breath, he quickly dodged.

Since Yu Ying had already been affected, he no longer had many concerns. The nightmare energy was clearly useless against him, so he started slashing wildly, carving out a path to survival.

He used a flick of his sleeve to cut through the shadows, along with a speed-enhancing technique, and even took two top-grade spirit stones to replenish his spiritual energy at any time.

Ultimately, he narrowly escaped back into the swamp.

When the Nightmare Willow's branches reached the edge of the mist, they did not continue the pursuit but quickly retracted.

"Is it because they went beyond their hunting range? Or is it...?"

Zhao Mu subconsciously looked down at the muddy ground beneath his feet. This area was clearly larger than the place he had just been. He suspected that something even more terrifying than the Nightmare Ghost Willow lurked beneath this muddy ground.

"Regardless of whether the speculation is true or false, it's best to leave this place as soon as possible."

Zhao Mu dared not cross the swampy area again, and instead chose to leave in another direction along the edge.

This time, although they also entered a foggy area, the suppression of their divine sense was not strong.

This place also appears to be an island. It is not large, but the presence of living beings can be clearly detected, including sixth-tier demonic beasts.

"It should be safe here."

After finding a hollow tree, Zhao Mu breathed a heavy sigh of relief.
