Chapter 134: Yun Na of the Magic Continent
The dense fog grew thicker, and visibility gradually decreased. Mu Xue could constantly hear something approaching, but it always maintained a distance from them.
Sang Jing Wen crouched down and turned on the flashlight mode of his optical computer to illuminate the path ahead. Suddenly, Xiao Yi Fei saw a fleeting green light, like the eyes of some animal.
It flashed by too quickly for him to be sure, so he could only brace himself and stare intently ahead, “The thing Xiao Xue mentioned might be up ahead, everyone be careful.”
Tu You shivered on Sang Chu’s shoulder. Although he was an elf, he was truly afraid of the dark and ghosts!
“A Chu, do you think there might be ghosts?”
Sang Chu chuckled, “Wasn’t that detective last time one? Don’t worry, there probably aren’t ghosts on the Magic Continent, but there might be monsters.”
Thinking of this, Sang Chu suddenly said, “Brother, let me switch with you. I’ll try using the whistle.”
Constantly walking in the water reminded her of that stop in the Demon Realm. Could the sound Mu Xue heard be an obstacle preventing them from leaving this water area?
Otherwise, why would this whistle appear in second place? It must have a great purpose!
Sang Jing Wen: “Alright, be careful.”
He and Xiao Yi Fei carefully switched positions with Sang Chu. Sang Chu stood up, using Sang Jing Wen’s light to look ahead, and slowly began to blow the sharp, piercing whistle.
“Ah—”
Waves of heart-wrenching wails echoed, and the dense fog gradually dispersed.
The strange rocks on both sides of the water seemed to flee in terror upon hearing the whistle.
The originally narrow river channel gradually widened, and a large tree stood up with a ‘thump’ and ran away frantically.
After the dense fog, stones, large trees, moss, and bushes all ran away, the small river channel transformed into a vast lake. In the center of the lake was a giant round stone, bound by layers of chains to a beautiful mermaid.
Her dark green long hair cascaded into the water, revealing slightly pointed ears. Her emerald-like fish tail was covered in wounds, and her scales seemed to have been stripped off, exposing the raw red flesh beneath.
She had a perfect figure, with every curve in just the right place. On her spine were a pair of wings resembling those of a dragonfly.
However, her beautiful face was filled with numbness, and her eyes held a look of death.
When Xiao Yi Fei and the other boys saw the mermaid, they instinctively turned their backs to her.
Sang Chu stopped the bamboo raft and looked at the mermaid, saying, “Hello, we are travelers. Were you locked here by someone?”
Tu You: 【A Chu, this mermaid is a bit pitiful. 】
Sang Chu nodded in agreement. This mermaid was different from the ones she had seen in the Demon Realm; she didn’t seem as powerful, but rather had a sense of brokenness, and she was covered in injuries, her upper body also filthy.
Sang Chu: “I have some clothes here, let me help you put them on.”
The mermaid slowly turned her head to look at her upon hearing this. To her surprise, she saw that all the men on the boat were facing away from her. This sliver of kindness made her fall silent for a moment.
After a long while, her scarred red lips parted slightly, revealing a smile, “No need, kind person. You should leave quickly. You dispersed the fog, and those stone monsters and tree monsters will soon bring reinforcements.”
Sang Chu: “Were they the ones who trapped you here?”
The mermaid smiled sadly, her tail lazily slapping the water beneath the large stone, “Yes. Grandmother said mermaids cannot leave their homeland, nor can they come to the wicked Sai Lin Garden. This is the domain of the stone monsters. They are overbearing, cruel, disgusting, yet possess innate divine strength. They are the kings of Sai Lin Garden.”
At this moment, Mu Xue suddenly said, “Sang Sang, those things seem to be coming again!”
“Brother, Xiao Xue, you two stay in front and back, ready to use the whistle at any time. Min Feng, Brother Yi, get the flame guns ready.”
“Okay.”
Sang Chu leaped onto the round stone and examined the chains.
The mermaid, Yun Na, blinked her eyes in disbelief. Many people had come and gone, but no one had ever wanted to let her go.
Their eyes only held wariness towards her.
“This is a magic stone, it can restrain magic, it’s useless.”
Before she could finish speaking, Sang Chu had already taken out a dagger, wrapped in soft, jelly-like spirit stone jade liquid paste, and directly cut through the chains.
This thing could cut spirit stone jade like cutting tofu, so cutting this so-called magic stone was no problem.
When Yun Na was helped up by Sang Chu, she still felt like she was dreaming.
“Put on the clothes first. Do you know the way out? We’ll take you with us.”
“Leave? Hmph!”
“You dare to steal our bride! Eat them!”
Stone people, wooden people, moss, and bushes all seemed to have gained sentience and surrounded them.
Seeing their enraged expressions, Yun Na, fearing Sang Chu would abandon her, pressed her delicate body against Sang Chu, her porcelain-white hands tightly embracing her.
Her eyes were filled with pleading.
Sang Chu looked at her, smiled reassuringly, and placed her hand lightly at Yun Na’s side as if to protect her.
Sang Chu: “Bride? This is imprisonment.”
A tall stone person laughed heartily, “So what? Since you want to save her, you’ll stay here too. The women will be tied up for everyone to use, and the men… will be eaten!”
“Mmmph mmmph mmmph!!!!”
A group of chaotic beings shouted excitedly. Sang Chu, holding Yun Na, jumped off the bamboo raft and placed her on it, “Do you know the way out?”
“Yes, passing through the stone river from here leads to the magic town closest to Sai Lin Garden.”
“Alright, then we’ll go there. Be careful on your own.”
After softly saying this to Yun Na, Sang Chu also took out her freezing gun, “Brother, Xiao Xue, blow the whistle!”
The two quickly nodded and then blew the whistle. As the whistle sounded, the sharp noise startled the monsters, causing them to scatter in all directions.
Even Yun Na, sitting on the bamboo raft, couldn’t bear it and covered her ears, curling into a shrimp-like shape and trembling.
Sang Chu didn’t tell them to stop, but instead said to Yun Na, “Endure it, you’ll be fine once we’re out!”
Yun Na knew that what those monsters were doing was correct, but the sound pierced her body, making it feel as if thousands of small knives were cutting her flesh simultaneously. It hurt so much!
“Min Feng, Brother Yi, you attack the wooden monsters, I’ll handle the stone monsters!”
“Okay.”
The three cooperated, and soon, the scattered wooden monsters were burned to ashes, while the stone monsters were frozen.
Tu You quickly flew to the shore with the space link and stored these things. Based on experience, these could be sold for money!
Along the way, they successfully left Sai Lin Garden with the help of the whistle, and they also harvested quite a few monsters.
It was just a pity for Yun Na; her already severely injured body was made even worse.
Seeing Yun Na covered in blood and with a pale face, Sang Jing Wen and Xiao Yi Fei had intended to help.
However, seeing the fear in her eyes made them stop.
Sang Chu helplessly crouched in front of her and said, “You don’t want them to touch you, so, how about I carry you? We might be able to find a doctor in town to treat you.”
Yun Na nodded and climbed onto Sang Chu’s back, leaning on her shoulder. Her voice was very weak, yet still clear and pleasant, “Thank you. I, my name is Yun Na.”
“My name is Sang Chu.”
