Quick Transmigration: Still Life Fairy

Chapter 342 The Long-Legged Azure Dragon Token

"An underground river?"

Yu Liu was somewhat surprised, "How could that be?"

Zhu Ye did not answer, and the entire passage fell silent instantly. In this tranquil atmosphere, the sound of flowing water could be heard intermittently.

"There really is a river ahead..."

If there really is a river, Yu Liu is somewhat puzzled: "The Vermilion Bird should be a sacred beast that can control fire. Why would there be an underground river in the place where the Vermilion Bird token is hidden?"

Zhu Ye continued to grope his way forward. Upon hearing Yu Liu's question, he paused for a moment, then suddenly scoffed, "Pshaw! Who told you that the Vermilion Bird Token was hidden here?"

"what?"

Yu Liu was a little stunned. She wondered if it was just her imagination, but she seemed to detect a hint of mockery and contempt in Zhu Ye's tone, even though Zhu Ye's tone should have been calm and even.

"You're so stupid, still blindly searching for Xie Qiong everywhere. Aren't you afraid of being sold out?" He chuckled twice, seemingly with disdain.

Yu Liu sensed once again that Zhu Ye's tone of voice had become emotional, and that emotion was likely not good.

"So... you suddenly brought this up because you're planning to tell me about Xie Qiong?"

Yu Liu asked tentatively.

"Tch, who wants to tell you that! Don't even think about it. The best thing to do is to turn around and leave while I'm in a good mood. If you don't leave, I won't care what happens next!"

As he spoke, he quickened his pace.

Yu Liu didn't know what had happened or why Zhu Ye had changed. She had a vague idea in her mind. Moreover, Xie Qiong's information was still in Zhu Ye's hands, so she naturally couldn't leave. She quickly manipulated the white cloud to chase after him.

After walking a short distance along the path, the puddles underfoot were no longer small pools, but rather soft, slippery "swamps." If you stepped in and didn't quickly lift your foot, it would sink completely. Here, the only option was to move forward as fast as you could.

Yu Liu couldn't help but feel fortunate that she had switched to Little White Cloud, as Big White Cloud could easily support her; otherwise, she would have had to go down and walk herself.

Zhu Ye swiftly crossed the muddy path, leaving afterimages as he moved. Yu Liu followed behind him, and as they passed through the area, a wide underground river suddenly appeared before them.

The passage they traversed led to an underground river from the side, and it was located downstream of the river. The passage was quite low, and some of the underground river water had rushed into it, which is why the road surface looked the way it did on the way there.

The underground riverbed has been eroded into a cylindrical shape. It is not yet the peak flow period, and the underground river water is only a shallow layer, flowing slowly into the distance.

What should we do now?

The view was wide open, with only the water flowing beside it and the geological layer of soil and rocks beneath one's feet. There seemed to be no place to hide the Vermilion Bird Token.

"Of course I'll look for it, do you even need to ask me?" Zhu Ye said with a hint of disdain as she walked straight upstream along the river.

"Oh, oh!" Yu Liu nodded, glanced at the downstream of the underground river, and finally followed Zhu Ye upstream.

She wasn't there to complete a mission; she was merely a token to find Xie Qiong. Zhu Ye knew where Xie Qiong was and couldn't let him escape.

"Ugh!"

Sensing that Yu Liu was following, Zhu Ye, who was ahead, sighed with an ambiguous expression.

The two of them slowly walked upstream along the river and found that the place was surprisingly large. The entire space had been washed out by the flood, and the walls were very smooth. The area around the river was no longer soil, but rather composed of well-formed stones, which made the path much easier to walk on than before due to the mud.

As the two slowly explored, the large crater outside the passage, blasted open, gradually attracted many more guests.

There's a hole there!

The narrow passage was quickly discovered.

"There's definitely something in there, let's all go in and take a look!"

"go!"

Wave after wave of people entered the passage. Unlike Yu Liu, they had no leisurely mindset; each one ran as fast as they could. Everyone participating in the competition understood the importance of seizing the initiative. They didn't know how many people had entered the passage ahead of them, or who might have already seen the reward for the task. They only knew that they had to be fast to have a chance of getting points.

Yu Liu was unaware that the enemy was rapidly approaching and would soon meet with them.

The further upstream you go, the wider the surroundings become, and the river becomes much more turbulent. With the help of the faint light that seems to be leaking from somewhere, you can clearly see that the color of the river water is getting darker and darker. In the slightly dim environment, the color gradually changes from clear and transparent to deep, which means that the river is getting deeper and deeper.
