Sikong Xueyi slightly raised her almond-shaped eyes and looked at the AK47 in Xiang Xueer's hands, then laughed, "Hey? What weapon is this? Weren't you using the Azure Wind Sword before?"
Mentioning the Azure Wind Sword made Xiang Xueer feel uncomfortable. She waved her hand, "Ah, let's not talk about it. But seeing you here, I assume you're not just here for a vacation, right?"
After hearing this, Sikong Xueyi looked up at the cliff across from them with a serious expression and said, "Like you, I've tracked down to this place. However, the clues ended here, and I was contemplating whether to go over when you all arrived, so I thought I'd come say hello!"
Heh! A hello? This woman's style of greeting is quite unique. Xiang Xueer walked over to her side and looked down at the seemingly bottomless cliff. "It seems we should check across the cliff first."
The two women exchanged glances. Just as Xiang Xueer was about to summon Taotie, Sikong Xueyi waved her hand. Instantly, a surge of true energy gathered on her ten fingers, which then dispersed into hundreds and thousands of strands that flew out in all directions.
The stones and broken tree trunks on the ground immediately flew up towards the cliff above. In no time at all, they had built a stone bridge between the two cliffs.
Everyone was amazed. A smile appeared on Xiang Xueer's lips; this fifth member of Saint Ten was indeed impressive, capable of manipulating objects from a distance. The most spectacular part was undoubtedly this rapidly constructed passage.
Gunaara shook her head with wide eyes, and the Duck shared the same expression, its beak open in awe as it exclaimed, "Wow, that's amazing!"
"Please," Sikong Xueyi gestured to Xiang Xueer. She smiled and walked to the edge of the cliff, placing one foot on the stone bridge. Initially thinking it was just a makeshift structure, she was surprised to find it as stable as solid ground.
Seeing this, Qingtian hurried over too and stood on the stone bridge, sighing continuously, "Indeed, among Saint Ten, the skills of these experts are simply dazzling and awe-inspiring!"
The group walked from one side of the cliff to the other for nearly twenty minutes. What seemed like a short distance took much longer than expected. Once Xiang Xueer reached solid ground, she immediately began examining the surface.
However, after looking for a long time, she found no traces left in the soil around them. She couldn't help but furrow her brows. "This is really strange. The Nether Abyss couldn't have just vanished into thin air. If it didn't come here, where could it have gone?"
A few people were puzzled, and at that moment, Sikong Xueyi walked to the edge of the cliff, looked down at the steep drop, and immediately a smile appeared on her lips. "Shirley, Qingtian, come over quickly!"
The two walked to the edge of the cliff and followed Sikong Xueyi's hand to look up at the plants growing on the cliff. They noticed that all the plants showed varying degrees of damage.
Xiang Xueer immediately understood. She measured the distance of the cliff with her eyes; if it were the enormous Nether Abyss, it was indeed possible that someone could fall into the chasm below.
The group stood up, and Sikong Xueyi turned to the two and asked, "I plan to go down and take a look. What do you two intend to do?"
Xiang Xueer and her companions had come to investigate the Million Demon Army. Having finally found a clue, they couldn't let it slip away easily. She exchanged a glance with Qingtian and said, "Senior Sikong, we will go down with you!"
Looking down, they could see nothing but darkness; a chilling wind blew up from below the cliff. No one knew if there were monsters or fierce beasts lurking down there. She turned to Gunaara and Duck and said, "Qingtian and I will go down with Senior Sikong. You two stay here and wait for us to return!"
"What? Why do we have to stay here?" Gunaara was immediately dissatisfied. She confronted Xiang Xueer, saying, "You all are going down while leaving Duck and me here? That's not fair!"
Xiang Xueer glanced at Duck and sighed. "I don't know if it will be dangerous down there. If we bring you along and encounter enemies, we'll have to find a way to take care of you!"
After all this time, Xiang Xueer had inadvertently made herself and Duck seem like fools of the same caliber. Gunaara's face turned red with anger. Knowing her temper, Xiang Xueer stepped forward and patted her shoulder. "Actually, I have something more important for you to do while we’re gone!"
"Really?" Gunaara's eyes widened in surprise as she eagerly asked, "What important task is it?"
Xiang Xueer cleared her throat, thought for a moment, and finally came up with a few lines. "Actually, we are splitting into two groups. You and Duck will search for the whereabouts of the Demon Army nearby while we go down the cliff to investigate. So now is your time to take on an important responsibility!"
Gunaara was exceptionally easy to deceive; just a few flattering words made her beam with joy as she patted her chest confidently. "Master, you can rest assured! I promise I will complete the mission!"
"Ha ha!" Xiang Xueer nodded with a smile that didn't reach her eyes. This girl was truly too easy to deceive. Even Duck, standing beside her, shook his head in disbelief, saying, "Ah, she's really foolish and naive!"
Finally, she had arranged everything. She didn't want to have any worries while she was fighting. Although Duck was quite useless, his ability to escape at critical moments should not be underestimated. Having him by her side did give her some peace of mind.
"Since that's the case, let's agree to meet back at the cliff three days from now!" After Xiang Xueer finished speaking, she quickly formed hand seals and bit her finger, pressing it onto the ground: "Summoning!"
A cloud of white smoke appeared, and Taotie materialized. She and Qingtian climbed onto the summoned beast and headed down towards the cliff. Meanwhile, Sikong Xueyi twirled her fingers elegantly, and a silver thread flew out from between her fingers, firmly attaching itself to the rock wall. Then she leaped off, resembling Spider-Man as she followed behind.
"Wow, so cool!" Duck watched Sikong Xueyi's departing figure with drool dripping from his mouth, his eyelids not even blinking as he sighed in admiration, "Heaven is truly unfair! Why am I not a man but just a Platypus?"
Gunaara shook her head and reached out to pull Duck forward: "Duck, stop dreaming. Even if you were a man, you'd still be a perverted one. She would never look at you; give up on that idea!"
"You ugly woman! How dare you compare yourself to my fairy sister!" Duck's words immediately angered Gunaara. After all, she was considered the most beautiful woman of Nuwa, yet this shameless Duck called her ugly.
She punched Duck, causing tears to stream down his face as he cried out in pain: "You violent woman! When my sister returns, I will definitely report you!"
About half an hour later, Xiang Xueer, Qingtian, and Sikong Xueyi finally landed. They found that beneath the dark cliffs lay an unexpectedly open area, resembling a grand canyon with a winding river flowing southward.
Indeed, it was a hidden paradise! Xiang Xueer jumped off Taotie and looked around carefully. She soon noticed the soil on the ground; picking it up to examine it revealed that its texture and color were consistent with what she had seen before.
