Chapter 52: Dry Grass

Ziyuan's voice was like the sound of nature, breaking through the dark clouds in Li Chuyi's heart, soothing his restless heart, making him shudder all over, and for a moment he stood there, staring at Ziyuan blankly.

"There is grass there."

Ziyuan pointed in a direction and repeated it.

"Oh, there is grass there." Li Chuyi repeated it blankly.

"There is grass there. There is grass there, there is grass there... There is grass there? There is grass there?! Oh my God, there is grass there!!!!"

Li Chuyi finally reacted, roared, and ran towards the place where Ziyuan pointed, and Ziyuan hurried to catch up.

After running for about a hundred meters, as expected, a dark withered grass appeared in Li Chuyi's eyes.

Slowly approaching the withered grass, Li Chuyi gradually lightened his steps, as if he was afraid of scaring the dark withered grass. Coming to the dead grass, he slowly knelt down, lay there, and carefully touched the grass with his fingers.

Finally, Li Chuyi raised his head with tears in his eyes, looked at Ziyuan and said, "It's really grass!"

Ziyuan had no expression, and was too lazy to roll her eyes. Isn't this nonsense?

Looking at the dead grass, Li Chuyi looked left and right, scratched his head from time to time, and pondered there.

Seeing that Li Chuyi seemed to have discovered something, Ziyuan couldn't help asking, "What are you thinking about? Have you discovered anything?"

Li Chuyi nodded a little, and said solemnly, "Well, I'm thinking, can this grass be eaten."

Looking at Li Chuyi for a long time in astonishment, Ziyuan said unhappily, "Are you sick?"

"Yes, didn't you just heal your wound?" Li Chuyi looked at Ziyuan strangely, as if he was very puzzled by her asking such a naive question.

Ziyuan finally couldn't help rolling her eyes. She couldn't communicate normally with this little fat boy who was not normal to begin with and now even more abnormal, so she changed the way she asked.

"Are you afraid of death?"

The little fat boy nodded and said proudly: "Of course I am!"

"This is a dead place, full of death."

"Yes, I know."

"We have been walking for so long, and this dead grass is the only plant we have seen except for sand and thick fog."

"Then what?"

"This grass is still black, I don't know if it is poisonous. Even if it is not, but it grows in this dead place, it must not be a good thing. If you are not afraid of death, eat it. But don't blame me for not reminding you, even if it is an ordinary green grass in the outside world, you probably won't get any good results if you eat it." Ziyuan looked at this lunatic and said coldly.

Li Chuyi was stunned for a while, scratched his head, and argued with a struggling face: "Who said that? Wild vegetables are also grasses, and wild vegetables can be eaten. How do you know that this is not a wild vegetable from this dead land?"

"Then you can eat it. After eating, we can practice the "Book of the Netherworld" together." Ziyuan said, and then ignored him. She felt that if she said one more word to this lunatic, even if she was a ghost, she would be infected by his madness.

Li Chuyi was speechless and looked at the black dead grass silently. Since he followed the Taoist priest out of Wuyang City, he didn't know how long he had stayed in this dead land where the sun and the moon were not seen. For such a long time, he had never seen meat. For a foodie who loves meat, he was really going crazy after eating a big cake for such a long time.

He knew very well in his heart that this dead grass could not be eaten. Even if there was no dead land, just looking at its black appearance would make any normal person lose his appetite. However, this was the first time he had seen something that could be called food other than a big cake in such a long time. Even if he couldn't eat it, he wanted to satisfy his appetite.

Looking at the dead grass, Li Chuyi gritted his teeth fiercely, and suddenly started digging the ground like crazy.

Ziyuan was shocked. Could this little fat guy really be crazy?

Just when Ziyuan was considering whether to knock out the crazy little fat guy, she suddenly heard Li Chuyi's hateful muttering: "I told you that you are not a wild vegetable! I told you that you are so black! I told you that you seduce my appetite! I told you that you deceive my feelings! I will dig you up, dig you up by the roots! I will not let you harm a kind heart again!"

Ziyuan looked at the little fat guy who was digging the ground like a wild boar in silence, and turned her head away and ignored him.

After digging frantically for a long time, Li Chuyi finally dug out the black dead grass with its roots. Holding the dead grass in his hand, Li Chuyi couldn't help but laugh triumphantly, but suddenly thought of whether there were any dangerous creatures in the thick fog, and quickly suppressed the laughter that rushed to his mouth into a triumphant low laugh. But the laughter sounded to Ziyuan, but it didn't sound like a proud laugh, but a mean laugh.

Li Chuyi, who had been enjoying the beauty for a long time, finally had enough of it, and put the dead grass into his storage bag with a wave of his hand. Just as he was about to guess the direction and continue to move forward, he suddenly thought of something, turned his head and looked at Ziyuan and asked, "Can you see anything in such a thick fog?"

Ziyuan nodded, "Not too far, about a hundred steps."

Li Chuyi was full of admiration and gave Ziyuan a thumbs up. You know, he has the Yin-Yang Taoist Eye, and he can only see less than fifty steps, and the range of vision is getting closer and closer as he gets tired. Ziyuan is indeed a ghost cultivator, with extraordinary talent, and can actually see a hundred steps away in this thick fog of death.

"How about you lead the way. You can see farther than me. If there are any landmarks on the road, you can see them even if I can't."

Zi Yuan shook her head slightly and said, "You should be in front. There is a dead air here, and except for this dead grass, the rest of the scenery is the same. I can only see farther than you. I'd better walk behind you, so that you won't go crazy like you did just now. If you run wildly, I can stop you and prevent you from getting lost."

Li Chuyi was embarrassed for a moment. He also knew that he was not in the right state just now. If Zi Yuan hadn't discovered this black grass and awakened him, he might have gone crazy because of the growing irritability in his heart.

Li Chuyi smiled awkwardly and said no more. He closed his eyes and began to turn in circles, muttering as he turned: "Heaven and earth, please show your spirit, the lecherous Taoist priest, and tell you where your beloved disciple should go!"

After turning for a long time, when even Zi Yuan felt a little dizzy, he suddenly stopped, raised his hand while swaying, pointed in a direction and said: "It's there, go that way!"

After saying that, he went ahead, but after only a few steps, he found that Zi Yuan had stayed where she was and didn't move.

Seeing Li Chuyi's puzzled look, Zi Yuan felt a little headache, and said with her hand on her forehead: "That's the direction we came from."

"Uh...haha, hahaha, well, it's good that you are here, but I also know that the other side is wrong, I'm just testing you. Well, that's it, this way, go this way, well, you should go this way. I know that the Taoist priest's spiritual manifestation is useless. Wherever he manifests, you should go in the opposite direction. Yes, that's it." With an embarrassed face and mumbling in a mess, Li Chuyi walked in the opposite direction just pointed, and his steps were a little hurried.

Zi Yuan, who had gradually gotten used to Li Chuyi's temper, shook her head helplessly and was about to move to catch up, but suddenly looked in one direction, and the raised foot suddenly stopped where it was.

Seeing that Ziyuan didn't catch up again, Li Chuyi was very surprised and asked in confusion: "Hey, Ziyuan, you won't tell me that this is also the road we just walked?"

Ziyuan shook her head slightly and said hesitantly: "Over there, I think I saw a rabbit."

"Rabbit?" Li Chuyi repeated it in confusion, but reacted instantly, and the pair of yin and yang eyes that were rarely seen in the ages suddenly showed a green and cold light.

Taking a deep breath, Li Chuyi finally couldn't hold it back.

"Meat!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!"

Before a wolf howl dissipated, Li Chuyi turned into a string of black shadows and rushed in the direction pointed by Ziyuan.

"Meat!!! ...
