Chapter 190 The mysterious man in black robe
The strong, pungent smell they had detected when they first entered the area was coming from this pool.
"Ugh—" With a loud thud, Dali ripped off the mask from his face and bent over to vomit violently.
Filth gushed from her mouth, splashing onto the ground and mixing with the stench that filled the air.
Seeing this, Su Yue quickly walked over to Dali, gently patted her back, and asked with concern, "How are you? Are you feeling better? Don't look into the pool anymore, quickly grab my hand."
Dali struggled to straighten up, hastily wiped the remaining grime from the corner of his mouth with his sleeve, and then put his now-dirty mask back on.
Her hands trembled as she reached out to Su Yue, tightly grasping Su Yue's outstretched hand, as if it were her only lifeline at that moment.
Su Yue felt the icy touch and trembling from the powerful hand, and thought to herself that she wanted to destroy this place.
Dali must have been bullied here, otherwise she wouldn't be so scared.
She took a deep breath, composed herself, and pulled Dali towards the exit leading to the outside world.
Nevertheless, out of caution, Su Yue once again focused her attention and carefully explored the path upwards.
Her spiritual power, like invisible tentacles, slowly extended upwards.
It stretched all the way up to the ground, and no one noticed anything unusual.
After confirming that it was safe, Su Yue breathed a sigh of relief and confidently led Dali up the stairs step by step.
As the two women climbed off the ground, their vision gradually cleared, and before them lay the same endless desert, with yellow sand swirling in the air.
However, at this moment, a strange feeling arose in their hearts: the air in this originally desolate and deserted place filled with yellow sand had become wonderful.
Su Yue did not rush to take off the heavy black robe she was wearing, but instead quickly left the place with Dali.
Their figures gradually disappeared into the rolling dust.
Just after Su Yue had walked a distance, another person dressed in black robes slowly emerged from the spot where she had just appeared.
The man stood quietly in place, gazing at Su Yue and Dali's figures gradually disappearing into the distance.
The face hidden beneath the black mask involuntarily lifted slightly, revealing a meaningful smile, as it murmured softly, "We'll meet again! You little rascal..."
Meanwhile, Su Yue was preparing to step down from a towering sand dune.
Suddenly, she felt something strange coming from behind her, as if a pair of sharp eyes were staring intently at her from behind.
This sudden feeling made her tense up, and she turned around abruptly.
However, all that could be seen was the swirling yellow sand and the howling wind; nothing else.
"Huh? Is it just my imagination? Oh well, never mind, let's get out of here first."
Su Yue muttered something under her breath, then stopped worrying about it and continued to carefully walk down the slope of the sand dune.
Beneath the mask of the discovered black-robed man, a sinister and eerie smile gradually emerged.
That smile seemed to conceal endless conspiracy and malice, sending chills down one's spine.
"Such keen perception—how wonderful it would be if it could appear in the blood pool! It's just a pity..."
Thinking of this, a hint of regret flashed in the black-robed man's eyes, and he couldn't help but sigh, "Alas! What a pity!"
Meanwhile, Su Yue and Dali continued their journey, after a long and arduous trek.
The two stopped to rest and first dealt with the black robes they were wearing.
He removed the black robe from his body, then without hesitation lit a flame, burning the two of them through the robe and mask.
A raging fire broke out, billowing black smoke rising upwards, as if to burn away all the bad luck.
Looking at the burning black robe in front of her, Su Yue frowned and said, "This thing is really too unlucky."
After saying that, Su Yue took out some water from her space and handed it to Dali, saying with concern, "Dali, rinse your mouth quickly."
Dali took the water and rinsed his mouth with large gulps. Su Yue gently stroked Dali's head and said with deep remorse, "Dali, it's all because I didn't protect you well this time that you were bullied. But don't worry, that place will soon be gone."
Hearing Su Yue's words, Dali quickly shook his head and replied firmly, "It's not Yue's fault. It's because Dali isn't strong enough that he was bullied by bad people. But it's okay, Dali will definitely become stronger in the future and protect Yue again!"
As he spoke, Dali deliberately moved his head closer so that Su Yue could more easily stroke him.
Su Yue smiled and nodded, responding gently, "My Dali is already very powerful, and I believe he will become even more powerful in the future."
Su Yue had already decided to take another powerful pill.
After Su Yue and Dali walked for three days in the scorching desert.
The distant Black Illusion City began to descend into chaos.
This Black Illusion City is located deep in the desert, where water resources have always been extremely scarce, and most of them rely on external transportation.
The remaining small portion of the water source comes from a mysterious underground pool within the city.
However, the amount of water flowing out of this underground spring each day is extremely limited, barely enough to meet the daily needs of the upper class of Black Illusion City.
That's why water is more precious than gold in this city.
In fact, as early as when Su Yue entered the Black Illusion City, she had already used her spiritual power to detect the location of that hidden underground pool.
At that moment, when she witnessed Dali being bullied in the bustling arena, a strong surge of anger welled up in her heart.
So, she silently channeled her spiritual power to tightly envelop the sap of a highly toxic herb in the space.
And with lightning speed and perfect accuracy, it was thrown into that crucial underground pool.
The toxicity of that poisonous herb was beyond imagination; it was even several times stronger than the one used on the Xiongnu king last time!
Just a small bite will immediately make you feel weak and limp all over.
Immediately afterwards, consciousness begins to blur, as if trapped in a thick fog from which one cannot escape; when the poison takes full effect, blood will gush from all seven orifices until death.
In just three days, the entire Black Illusion City had fallen into complete chaos.
Even the usually imposing and disciplined law enforcement teams have many members who have been infected with this poison.
