Chapter 983: Hidden Beauty
In the jungle, an old woman suddenly appeared. Though she was full of age and her body was short and small, her cultivation level was unfathomable.
Shi Feng was still carrying the Earth Divine Bell containing the Black Robed Man, following the old woman as she walked.
After a shout from the old woman, the eerie Death God Curse Sound seemed very afraid and never rang again.
Following behind the old woman, Shi Feng noticed that he was continuing to delve deeper into this sinister and bizarre jungle.
Due to the old woman's earlier impatience, even though Shi Feng had many questions about this Fallen Land, he did not ask them again.
Gradually, Shi Feng saw that he had left the area where the withered trees were clawing aggressively. Here, there were no such withered trees; instead, vines like giant pythons were rampant.
However, as the old woman walked forward, these rampant vines seemed to come alive, rapidly crawling like giant pythons, clearing a path for the old woman and Shi Feng.
Shi Feng continued to follow the old woman, with only the constant rustling sound of vines moving.
Soon, the old woman's walking figure suddenly stopped at a circular pond, about half a zhang in diameter.
Inside the pond, cold aura rose eerily, but the water in the pond was boiling, bubbling like boiling water.
Pointing to the pond, the old woman spoke, "You throw this girl in here. Any living being who has heard the Death God Curse Sound must cleanse with this Yin Yang Spring Water to completely wash away the aura, or else that thing will still come for you."
"Yin Yang Spring Water?" Hearing the old woman's words, Shi Feng murmured lowly in his heart.
Yin and Yang, cold and heat, both belong to Yin Yang. The water in the pond switches between cold and heat, alternating Yin Yang.
Following that, the old woman said again, "Once this girl wakes up, let her come find me alone."
After finishing her words, the old woman did not wait for Shi Feng's response, and her figure flashed, disappearing from Shi Feng's sight.
After the old woman left, Shi Feng stepped forward to the pond, sensing the coexistence of cold and heat rising from it. This Yin Yang Water, Shi Feng immediately felt it was extraordinary.
Sensing the eerie cold aura rising from the pond, Shi Feng felt the pure Yin energy.
Inhaling deeply, Shi Feng absorbed the cold aura into his body, causing his soul to feel relaxed and comfortable, and the energy in his dantian slightly increased.
However, Shi Feng soon stopped absorbing that cold aura.
At this moment, the priority was the Black Robed Man inside the Earth Divine Bell.
The Black Robed Man's aura was stabilized but he was still very weak and had long since fallen into a coma.
"Lift!"
Shi Feng uttered lowly, and the Earth Divine Bell on his shoulder immediately floated up, then floated above the pond, with the bell's mouth still hanging downward in the void, gently rotating.
At this time, Shi Feng's hands performed a sealing gesture, and he pushed a palm upward, projecting a eerie white profound rune through the bell's mouth into the Earth Divine Bell.
Immediately, a black figure slowly descended from the Earth Divine Bell; it was the unconscious Black Robed Man.
After exiting the Earth Divine Bell, the Black Robed Man lightly descended toward the pond below, gradually immersing into the Yin Yang Spring Water.
At this moment, the Black Robed Man's body had completely entered the pond, only revealing a head with a black hood outside.
"Girl?" Shi Feng recalled the old woman's reference to him earlier, staring at the face hidden beneath the black hood.
But as before, the black robe obstructed the view, making it impossible to see through.
However, the more he couldn't see through, the more curious Shi Feng became. What kind of face was hidden under this hooded black hat?
Was it an old man with wrinkles, weathered by time?
Or a young woman with blooming beauty?
Nonetheless, thinking of that old woman, if this Black Robed Man was also a sixty or seventy-year-old woman, she would also call her a girl!
As Shi Feng stared at the black hat, his curiosity grew as his imagination ran wild.
Gradually, Shi Feng squatted down, getting closer to the face hidden beneath the hooded black hat.
"You and I are bound by life and death now, considered comrades of life and death. Seeing one glance shouldn't be a problem." Shi Feng spoke softly to the Black Robed Man.
But the Black Robed Man was in a coma and couldn't hear him.
After speaking, Shi Feng slowly extended his hands forward, soon lightly grasping the rim of the hooded black hat.
At this very moment, various images of the Black Robed Man's face flashed in Shi Feng's mind.
Male, female, old, young, beautiful, ugly, ordinary - different faces flashed rapidly through Shi Feng's mind like lightning.
Then, Shi Feng's hands gradually unfolded the hood, revealing the face that slowly appeared before his eyes.
"What!" Shi Feng was shocked.
"Girl! Girl! Girl!" Gazing at the face revealed before him, Shi Feng murmured. Then he chuckled, shaking his head with a smile.
This was no lecherous seventy-year-old man!
On a captivating and charming face, slightly disordered, damp hair was stuck, exuding a unique seductive beauty.
In that enchantment was also a freshness like a daffodil, pure and untouched by dust, yet with an inherent nobility.
Comatose, her eyes were slightly closed, appearing serene, her lips slightly parted, invoking a sense of temptation and allure, her white teeth faintly discernible.
And at that moment, staring at the exquisite face, Shi Feng suddenly saw those slightly closed eyes gradually opening.
Revealing a pair of lively big eyes, her eyebrows furrowed slightly, she looked at Shi Feng before her and spoke, "Where are we now? Am I not dead?"
The exquisite face was accompanied by the same old, hoarse, manly voice.
Unexpectedly, the Black Robed Man suddenly awoke at this crucial moment, making Shi Feng a bit embarrassed for witnessing her true face.
Shi Feng said, "After you fell into a coma, some things happened, but we've escaped danger now. Focus on healing first; being in this spring water is beneficial to your injury. Stay for a while longer."
"Oh!" The Black Robed Man responded with an "Oh," then looked down.
However, judging by her appearance, she seemed unaware that her hood had been pulled off.
Immediately, she sensed the extraordinary nature of the Yin Yang Spring Water, her delicate face expressing surprise, exclaiming, "You've found this pond!"
Now it was only her and Shi Feng, she naturally assumed the pond was discovered by Shi Feng after she fell unconscious.
Shi Feng replied, "It's a long story, but focus on recovering first, and I'll explain it to you later."
"Mmm!" The Black Robed Man nodded slightly to Shi Feng, then her lively eyes slowly closed again.
Taking advantage of her closing her eyes, Shi Feng discreetly flicked his finger, causing the hood behind her to gently, silently move, covering her head.
Yet, just as the hood hadn't completely concealed her exquisite face, those lively eyes suddenly opened again!
It was as if she noticed something!
