Chapter 4417: What Do You Think?
Qiao Mu knew things were bad. Before she could even escape and fly up, she felt an incredibly immense force pulling her small body downwards. The moment she fell, she knew the space here was indeed strange.
She wasn't actually falling into a snow pit; she must have been pulled in by the mutated space. The desolate islands near the Snow Ridge Sacred Land were likely, as Ding Yun said, full of natural spatial barriers and traps everywhere.
"Qiuqiu, what would happen if I hid in the Star Domain now?"
"Master, Master, you can hide inside, eat something, and then continue falling outside!"
Qiao Mu chuckled, a forced, humorless sound. Was Qiuqiu not trying to be funny? But then again, hiding now wouldn't help. Wherever she went in, she'd reappear in the same spot when she came out. She'd still have to keep falling. So, many things are inescapable; what must be faced still must be faced.
"Based on your guess, how much longer will I fall?"
"I don't know, Master." The treant, watching the drama unfold, had a large basin of pills in front of it and was popping them into its mouth one by one. To be honest, the little treant felt no anxiety at all. After all, its master was now a Divine Realm Level Five Peak cultivator; how could such a small matter trouble her?
Chewing crunch-crunch, Qiuqiu said, "Master, don't worry, you'll eventually reach your destination. Pay attention to your protection and open your defensive shield."
"If that's not enough, I'll set up a Wood Spirit Shield for Master as double protection! Go, go, Master, go!"
Qiao Mu: ...
She really didn't want to talk to it right now!
Qiao Mu swiped her finger, and several defensive talismans floated around her, instantly forming a small defensive talisman array, encircling her.
She continued to fall, but she could feel her descent speed seemed to have decreased significantly.
"Master, Young Master Ding also jumped down with you just now." Qiuqiu, enjoying the spectacle, gloated, "It's a pity the space here is very strange. As soon as he jumped down, he seemed to be diverted into another passage."
Qiao Mu ignored the creature. After feeling herself fall for about half an hour, she could see a sliver of light below. She reached out, took out a gravity talisman, and slapped it on herself.
Her body sank in mid-air. Qiao Mu looked down and saw a vast expanse of verdant green grass below. The wind made the grass leaves flutter, and everything was a vibrant green.
Her feet touched the soft grass. Qiao Mu pursed her lips in silence for a moment, then extended her finger again, sticking a few more defensive talismans onto herself.
"Master, Master, is there any discomfort?"
Qiao Mu raised a hand, summoned an ordinary spirit sword from her inner world, gently parted the waist-high green grass in front of her, and walked forward expressionlessly.
It wasn't just some discomfort; she felt discomfort everywhere. This continuous landscape of green grass before her might very well be an illusion. Who knew, perhaps where she was walking right now was a place of mountains of corpses and seas of blood...
Out of caution, the little poker-faced girl preferred to wrap herself in several layers of defensive shields, unwilling for her skin to touch anything in her surroundings.
"Master, Master, do you want Qiuqiu to come out and keep you company?"
Qiao Mu was silent for a moment, then spoke faintly, "No need."
"Alright, then Qiuqiu will cook some noodles for Master. If Master gets hungry later, just come in and eat!"
Qiao Mu thought for a moment and nodded. "That works."
She knew that as soon as food was mentioned, her master would definitely respond.
