———————————New Week Divider————————————
Ouyang Zixin had been sailing smoothly before entering the secret realm, never experiencing any particularly unfortunate events. However, for some unknown reason, ever since she entered the secret realm, various misfortunes began to befall her—
As she excitedly took her first steps, Ouyang Zixin suddenly tripped over something inexplicably.
Bang.
She fell again.
"Damn it, really?" After this fall, all her expectations and excitement vanished. Cursing under her breath, she got back up.
Not only did Ouyang Zixin find it unbelievable, but even Yun Tianmo and Ning Zhiyuan were puzzled at that moment.
How could such a flat ground, as smooth as if it had been cut by a knife, trip Ouyang Zixin?
"Do we have a grudge or something? Why do you keep throwing misfortunes my way? Can't you see there are two more people behind me?" Pointing at the sky, Ouyang Zixin could no longer remain calm; she had never felt this embarrassed in her life.
In just one day, she had fallen three times in a row. At this rate, Ouyang Zixin would either be considered an idiot or be very close to being one. What normal person trips on flat ground? Is it a lack of coordination or what?
"It seems like a Mysterious Ground Mouse popped its head out..." Ning Zhiyuan could hardly believe his eyes; there was even a low-level Mystical Beast cub that dared to show itself at this time.
And how unlucky that it ran into Ouyang Zixin.
"Mysterious Ground Mouse?" Ouyang Zixin frowned. Isn't this Mystical Beast known for being timid? How could it approach a person? He let his guard down for a moment and ended up getting ambushed by it.
A brilliant beam of Azure Profound Energy shot out two yards, piercing into the black soil. With a squeak, the young mouse fell silent. Dark purple blood spread out, deepening the color of the black earth.
The one who acted was Yun Tianmo. At that moment, he did not use his signature Black Qi, opting for Azure Profound Energy instead to avoid revealing his unique Mysterious Energy. After all, on the Yuhai Continent, the commonly known types of Mysterious Energy were only blue, purple, and orange.
"Hey, look." Ouyang Zixin followed the direction of Yun Tianmo's released Mysterious Energy and witnessed a miraculous scene unfold—
The ground that had been pierced began to slowly contract, as if a wound on a human body was visibly healing. In no time, the surface of the soil returned to its original flatness, and the dark purple blood of the young mouse seemed to be absorbed, leaving no trace behind.
"It seems this black soil is quite extraordinary." Ning Zhiyuan stepped forward to investigate. The land that had been penetrated had already returned to its original state. Even when releasing Mysterious Energy to probe, he could not find any trace of the young mouse's existence.
"This soil seems to consume all lifeless objects. That young mouse could have traversed through this soil, but after being killed by the Ink King, its body and blood were completely devoured. It’s likely that all Mystical Beasts here are nutrients for this black soil. If a battle occurs and death happens, then if the body is not eaten by a Mystical Beast immediately, it will be entirely consumed by this soil." Ning Zhiyuan analyzed in a low voice, no longer as relaxed as before.
The terrifying part isn't the low-level Mystical Beasts. It seems that the most dangerous thing is the mysterious black soil beneath their feet.
It consumes everything that has lost its life.
Ouyang Zixin couldn't help but shiver. What if he accidentally...
No way.
"Let's check out the fruit." Yun Tianmo also became cautious. Not having enough vigilance towards unknown things could lead to dangerous situations.
Fruit?
"Yes, fruits are plants. I wonder if plants can be consumed by this black soil." Ouyang Zixin always felt her intelligence was lacking in front of Yun Tianmo. Why could this man always think of things she overlooked and get straight to the point?
Due to her previous experience of falling and damaging the fruit, Ouyang Zixin hung the fruit behind her this time.
She carefully unhooked the leaf holding the fruit, took one out gently, placed it on the ground, and quickly turned to run away.
When she reached what she considered a safe distance, she turned back to look.
The fruit remained perfectly still in its place, showing no signs of change.
"It seems the plants are fine; it only has a consuming effect on living animals after they die." Letting out a breath, Ouyang Zixin patted her chest. As long as it couldn't consume everything, there would be less danger.
Yun Tianmo quietly watched the fruit, saying nothing, lost in his thoughts.
After a moment, he made another move, striking the soil beside the fruit and creating a small pit. The impact caused the fruit to roll into the pit.
Everything seemed normal.
Just as Ouyang Zixin began to relax, the soil started to slowly close in, as if it had just consumed the Mysterious Ground Mouse, covering the fallen fruit completely.
"It's gone," Ouyang Zixin said nervously.
All three had decent perception abilities. Even Ouyang Zixin focused intently for a while and confirmed that the fruit was not merely covered by soil; it had completely disappeared.
In the end, they concluded that the characteristic of this soil was that once external force caused damage to it, anything that fell into it—be it living or dead, plant or animal—would be absorbed as nutrients for self-recovery.
"Ouyang Zixin, I didn't expect your unfortunate physique to serve as a warning of danger." Ever since Ning Zhiyuan attempted to get Ouyang Zixin to call him brother, he no longer referred to her as Miss Ouyang. Instead, he casually called her by her given name, ignoring her protests.
"What bad luck physique? You're the one with the bad luck physique; your whole family has it!" Ouyang Zixin gritted her teeth at the phrase "bad luck physique." Was this damned Third Prince born with a foul mouth?
"Ouyang Zixin, my entire family includes the Sovereign. You are disrespecting the Sovereign, which is a grave offense." Ning Zhiyuan was not at all angry at Ouyang Zixin's words; after all, she was cursing Nangong Tuo, not him.
"Grave offense? Are you threatening me, Third Prince?" Ouyang Zixin narrowed her eyes at Nangong Tuo, a dangerous aura directed at him.
Ning Zhiyuan quickly waved his hands, indicating that he would no longer provoke Ouyang Zixin. "Alright, alright, Ouyang Zixin, don't be angry. I won't mention that bad luck physique anymore."
"A Three, have you ever heard a saying?" Indian A Three—well, that nickname isn't bad.
"What saying?" Ning Zhiyuan was quite interested in the fresh phrases that occasionally slipped from Ouyang Zixin's mouth and missed her reference to him.
"Don't easily offend women, even if it's just a girl, because one day she will grow up." Ouyang Zixin initially wanted to say "Only women and petty people are hard to raise," but realizing it didn't quite fit her situation, she automatically translated it into another meaning.
"Uh... Is there such a saying? I've never heard of it."
"Wait, what did you call me? A Three?" By the time Ning Zhiyuan came back to his senses, the nickname A Three had already been established by Ouyang Zixin.
Hmph, protests are ineffective.
