Chapter 173 Night Color

Fang Yue stared at her suspiciously, "Are you… alright?"

You Sisi shook her head, then suddenly nodded.

Ah, this…

Are you okay or not?

"Could it be the strange army has already broken through Qing Si, and you've been possessed by a strange entity?"

"No… I'm fine… I'm just… just worried…"

Fang Yue was a bit confused.

Just what?

Could it be she's worried about the strange army, so worried that she's having mental problems.

Too fragile! Too fragile!

She should learn from me, practice her swordsmanship, practice her mental cultivation, kill any strange entities that come her way, then there's nothing to worry about.

With a wave of his hand, Fang Yue said spiritedly, "I know what you're worried about."

"Ah? You know?"

You Sisi was taken aback, and looked up in surprise, only to see Fang Yue saying heroically, "You don't need to worry! I won't let the strange army destroy Qing Si County! Our Guyue Village was destroyed by strange entities, I know that kind of pain. Qing Si County took us in, and is kind to us. So don't worry, as long as I'm still alive, I will definitely defend Qing Si County, defend our Qing Si County!"

Fang Yue even emphasized the last part, wanting to stress that we're all in this together.

Your home is my home, my home… is still my home.

But my home is gone, so living in your home, protecting your home, is the same as protecting my own home. We're all in the same boat.

As soon as Fang Yue finished speaking, You Sisi's body trembled suddenly, and she looked at him excitedly, with tears welling up in her eyes, seeming very moved.

"Night Color… you… I know you, I know your secret…"

Huh??

Night Color???

Fang Yue's mind was full of question marks. What kind of address is that?

And she knows my secret??

Could it be… she's referring to my [Night Breath]?

Fang Yue suddenly became a little nervous.

The secret of the Night Breath, being useless during the day and godly at night, is best known by as few people as possible.

Seeing Fang Yue's nervous expression, You Sisi was stunned, then chuckled, her cheeks flushed slightly.

"Look how nervous you are. Do you know, actually I also…"

*Boom!*

Thunder rumbled, deafeningly.

Lightning illuminated the room, and Fang Yue looked at You Sisi in confusion as her mouth moved without sound, like Niu Niu used to.

When the thunder disappeared…

"…so, I think, we should leave Qing Si together…"

*Boom!!*

Another thunder rumbled, You Sisi's expression froze, and she cupped her hands around her mouth.

"Can you hear…"

*Thump!!*

Before You Sisi could finish speaking, the ground suddenly shook violently, and she lost her footing, falling towards Fang Yue, who caught her.

The thunder stopped, and the room returned to darkness.

Fang Yue asked in confusion, "What did you say just now?"

In the darkness, he couldn't quite see You Sisi's expression, but she seemed a little shy as she shook her head slightly, "No, nothing. Just now that was…"

*Thump!!!*

Another violent tremor, as if the entire house was about to collapse.

The two were stunned, and then realized that something was wrong.

They quickly came out of the room, and the dark clouds above their heads also moved a little.

What's going on?

Fang Yue was thinking when Yu Baiyi ran towards them.

Seeing Fang Yue and You Sisi, Yu Baiyi shouted excitedly, "Danger! Big danger! The formation is about to break, big danger!!"

The formation is about to break?

Everyone was stunned for a moment, then suddenly came to their senses, exchanged glances, and said in unison.

"Underground stronghold!"

…kanδん

*Thump!!*

The ground shook violently.

Tian Long, in the team of the Hengshan Sect, looked at his kind and helpful fellow disciples and other sect disciples, all surrounding the entrance of the underground stronghold, waiting solemnly.

"Establish meritorious service, achieve an extraordinary life, starts today!"

Tian Long was excited. He couldn't wait for the formation to be broken. According to the routine of the game event, wouldn't the strange entities' attack be for everyone to earn points!

Come on, don't dawdle! Let's get to it!

*Thump!!*

Another violent ground shake, and everyone waited solemnly.

In front of Tian Long, at the entrance of the underground stronghold.

What was originally a corner filled with discarded garbage was now cleared of garbage, and the surrounding houses were leveled, revealing a large open space.

If it weren't for Jing Yan's deduction, and a wide-ranging and thorough search, probably no one would have thought that there was an entrance to the underground stronghold hidden in the ground.

Now on the cleared ground, various complicated and intricate runes were drawn, and rune seals were connected to rune seals with text or lines, forming layers of formations.

According to what he heard, seven layers of reinforcement and sealing formations have been superimposed and engraved on it.

Don't think that seven layers are too few. To superimpose new formations on the basis of a large formation, the difficulty of stacking each layer increases exponentially. It is necessary to preserve the original effect of the formation, but also to increase the original formation, and produce a superimposed sealing and strengthening effect. The difficulty factor is so high that it is hair-raising just to hear about it.

Anyway, no one in their Hengshan Sect has this ability.

After all, Hengshan Sect is a reckless sect, full of reckless people. Increasing martial strength is all that matters. Who cares about formations? So the mountain gate is also quite simple, like a mountain bandit village.

From this, it can be seen that the foundation of Qing Si is not less than that of the sects.

It's just that the top-level combat power is still a bit worse compared to the sects. This can be seen from the attitude of Lord Jun towards their Hengshan Sect's sect master.

And at this moment, in the sight of everyone, a human right hand wrapped in iron chains suddenly stretched out from the crack!
