After I lost my job, the country urged me to travel every day

Chapter 304 3 effects combined into 1

"It's you?!" After Xue Zhirou opened her eyes, she saw a profile with clear contours and firm eyebrows.

"Brother Yingjie?! Why are you here?!"

"Shh! Don't talk!"

Seeing the giant shadow eel that just wanted to devour Xue Zhirou coming along the water flow, Chen Yingjie hurriedly shouted, pulled the cloak behind him and wrapped her in his arms, then stood there motionless.

The Shadow Nightmare Eel's cold eyes searched around, and there seemed to be a hint of doubt in the depths of its eyes, as if it was puzzled as to why the prey that was about to be eaten disappeared in the blink of an eye.

Seeing the giant Shadow Nightmare Eel getting closer and closer to them, an undercurrent rose in the water and rushed towards the two of them. Chen Yingjie lost his balance and was carried away by the undercurrent.

Because he was holding Xue Zhirou in his arms, Chen Yingjie could only try his best to adjust his direction in mid-air, letting his back land first to prevent Xue Zhirou's head from hitting the sharp coral reefs.

"Hmm!" The ceiling of the coral cave was not flat. When the two men fell down, Chen Yingjie's lower back hit a protruding boulder, and he groaned in pain.

“Brother Yingjie!” Chen Yingjie noticed that Xue Zhirou in his arms seemed to want to struggle, and the giant shadow eel that was still swimming seemed to have heard the sound and stopped. He patted her twice in a soothing manner and whispered two words, “Don’t move!”

Through the transparent protective shield above his head, he saw the giant Shadow Nightmare Eel coming back and swimming around the two of them. Even Chen Yingjie, who was known for his calmness, couldn't help but feel his heart beating wildly.

Xue Zhirou, who was lying on top of Chen Yingjie and held tightly in his arms, felt the warmth from Chen Yingjie's palm on her back. She listened to Chen Yingjie's heartbeat and her face turned red with shame. She felt like her heart was about to jump out of her chest. She felt dizzy and listless as if she was drunk.

An unknown amount of time had passed before the dizzy Xue Zhirou felt as if the black curtain covering her eyes was suddenly lifted. Her eyes lit up and she could see the surrounding environment.

Before she could react, she heard a magnetic, low, hoarse voice in her ear.

"Alright! They're retreating! Let's get out of here!"

"Wha...what?!"

Xue Zhirou raised her head slightly, and looked at Chen Yingjie, who seemed to be glowing in front of her, in a daze. She felt as if she was in a dream.

Chen Yingjie let go of Xue Zhirou's hand and said, "I'm sorry, I just acted in an emergency and didn't mean to offend you. Please don't take it as an offense!"

Chen Yingjie's words finally brought Xue Zhirou back to her senses. She murmured with a strange look on her face, "You came back and saved me?"

"It's just a coincidence. You don't have to take it to heart." Chen Yingjie smiled, but in his heart he was secretly surprised by China's current scientific research capabilities.

The equipment he was wearing was made overnight by Huazhong University of Science and Technology based on the analysis of the sea beasts brought back by Bai Yaoyao and the combination of existing technology.

He used light and shadow to blur the opponent's vision to achieve the effect of invisibility, and smeared the essence extract of the spiritual herb Mixiang algae that Bai Yaoyao brought back on the cloak to paralyze the opponent's sense of smell.

Coupled with the system buff on Chen Yingjie, the three effects combined into one allowed the two to escape from danger!

Thinking of China's current strength, Chen Yingjie's usually cold and serious face couldn't help but be stained with a pure smile.

Xue Zhirou was dazzled by this smile, and her face flushed, but in a flash she thought of what happened before, and the color immediately drained away from her face.

The girl's mind was full of twists and turns, which Chen Yingjie naturally could not understand. Seeing her pale face, he thought she was still afraid, so he coughed lightly and comforted her, "It's okay, we are out of danger now. The Shadow Nightmare Giant Eel has retreated back to the Fantasy Abyss, but we should not stay here for long, let's hurry back to the Crystal Palace!"

He should have rushed back after getting the Shadow-Tracing Mirror, but on the way back, he always felt that Xue Zhirou's behavior was too strange, and the look in her eyes when she looked at him seemed to be full of suicidal intent.

In particular, Xue Zhirou handed over the Xuantian Sect's secret treasure, the Tracing Mirror, to him so easily, which made him wary.

That's why he turned back halfway.

As expected, from a distance, one could see the scene where Xue Zhirou took out the Light and Shadow Phantom Beetle and attracted the Shadow Nightmare Giant Eel to crawl out from the Phantom Abyss.

At this point, Chen Yingjie naturally understood Xue Zhirou's plan.

However, the training and education he had received all along had prevented him from standing by and watching someone die, so this is what happened just now.

"...Okay! Let's go back..." Xue Zhirou originally thought that she would die this time, but unexpectedly she was saved by her lover. The courage she had to die bravely before had disappeared completely. The relief of revenge and the accusations she would face after returning to the sect made her feel very confused. She just wanted to find a place to think things over quietly.

But now she has no spiritual power in her body, and it is too dangerous to stay in this sea area. For the time being, she can only follow Chen Yingjie back.

The two of them rushed back to the Crystal Palace.

However, about a thousand miles away from the Crystal Palace, unusual movements of sea beasts were discovered.

"Where are they going?"

Xue Zhirou nestled in Chen Yingjie's arms, with only her two eyes showing from inside her cloak, looking outside.

At this time, about a few hundred meters away from the two people, a group of sea beasts were rushing in the opposite direction of them.

They were of different races, and some were even natural enemies, but at this moment they lined up in a very harmonious row, heading towards the distant sea like a pilgrim.

Chen Yingjie frowned and stared at this unusual situation, but he was confused for a moment.

"No matter where they are going, it's not a good thing for so many sea beasts to gather together. We'd better go to the Crystal Palace first!"

"Yes!" Xue Zhirou agreed.

The two continued on their journey and finally returned to the Crystal Palace when night fell.

Because Xue Zhirou wanted to quietly sort out her future plans, after saying goodbye to Chen Yingjie, she returned to her room to meditate.

Chen Yingjie also returned to his room in the inn through the jade token.

As soon as I entered the space, I felt the almost riotous spiritual energy all around me.

What shocked him the most was that the center of the turbulent spiritual energy was Bai Yaoyao who was sitting cross-legged!

At this time, Bai Yaoyao formed seals with her hands, and her body swept up the spiritual energy in the space like a black hole.

If Chen Yingjie had the key to any inn at this time, he would find that the spiritual energy in other rooms of the inn was also gathering in their room.

Chen Yingjie frowned, and seeing that Bai Yaoyao looked peaceful and without any sign of pain, and that she was making hand gestures as if practicing the Xuanyuan Qi Ling Jue, he did not dare to step forward and interrupt her rashly. In addition, he felt that the spiritual power in his body seemed to be clamoring to leave his body. He could only leave the room temporarily, protect Bai Yaoyao in the lobby of the inn, and wait for her to wake up.

"Senior Brother Chen!"

Chen Yingjie had just asked the waiter for a pot of spiritual tea when he saw Lu Bai running in in a hurry!
