Beauty and the Bodyguard

"Yes." Lin Yi nodded. If he wasn't so weak right now, it wouldn't be hard for him to explore this strange space with his spirit sense. Unfortunately, he was still busy absorbing the last bit of spirit sense energy from the star Black coal, so he could only let Duanmu Yu take charge of this for now. If he had to rely on himself, it would be too much.

Duanmu Yu floated in mid-air as he brought Lin Yi along to explore the area. In the Foundation Stage, although everyone in the ancient martial world had started to train their spirit, their level was still too low. Their spirit sense's range was very limited, and even a well-known figure like Duanmu Yu couldn't even reach one percent of Lin Yi's range. It was easy to imagine how difficult it was to explore a space in detail.

However, this was the only way. Although waiting for Lin Yi to recover was not a bad idea, it was too risky. They suddenly fell into this strange space, and of course, they had to understand their situation as soon as possible. What if there was something extremely dangerous hiding around them?

Not long after, Duanmu Yu suddenly stopped her movements. Her divine sense had clearly sensed a huge and thick object blocking her way. Moreover, it was emitting a familiar aura.

"This aura ..." Lin Yi reacted first and released a bit of his consciousness to sense it. "Why does it feel exactly the same as the spirit sense grass?"

"The root of the spirit sense grass! This was the root of the spirit sense grass! The legend is actually true!" Duanmu Yu suddenly became excited.

"The spirit sense grass is so thin, how can its root be so thick and huge, did you remember it correctly?" Lin Yi was shocked. He found it hard to believe, but he was 80% convinced. After all, the exact same aura couldn't be fake.

"That's right! It's definitely correct!" Duanmu Yu was extremely certain. He said excitedly, "It's said that the spirit sense grass can only be harvested from the top portion. Although it's an extremely rare heavenly treasure, if you just eat the leaves, the effects are limited. It's not as exaggerated as people think. It's said that the true essence of spirit sense grass is its roots, but there have been very few people who have found it in history. Even if they found it, they would only hurriedly cut off the leaves, not the roots. "

"Indeed, with such a huge root, most people wouldn't be able to take it away even if they cut it off." Lin Yi nodded.

"Yes, and the roots grow in such an unfathomably deep place. There's no way to cut it from above, unless you're caught up in it like us." Duanmu Yu's expression couldn't help but become a bit dejected. Although finding the Roots of the Spirit grass was a pleasant surprise, it couldn't solve the current predicament. If they couldn't find an exit no matter what, what was the use of finding more spirit grass?

"There is always a way out. Since we have been dragged into this, we will naturally find a way out. I believe in this without doubt." Lin Yi said in a deep voice. If it weren't for the faith he had, he and Duanmu Yu might still be in the mirror world.

Duanmu Yu went silent for a moment before looking at Lin Yi deeply in the dark. He then smiled, "That's true. I've been too obsessed. As a cultivator, I should stick to my heart and press forward. This is my first lesson before I entered the sect. I didn't expect to throw it to the back of my mind when I encountered a little difficulty. I'm really ashamed."

"It's normal for people to lose their sense of propriety in such a situation. It's inevitable. " Lin Yi said with a smile, not taking it seriously.

"Oh, really? Then why don't you have it?" Duanmu Yu asked.

"As for me ... Hehe, I've experienced it many times, so I'm naturally used to it." Lin Yi smiled faintly-it was the truth, but it was also because he was at a high enough level. Small problems like this weren't a big deal for someone like him.

"You speak as if you're really an ancient primordial spirit that's experienced the vicissitudes of life!" Duanmu Yu smiled. After knowing so much about Lin Yi, she was sure that he wasn't an ancient soul. But then again, Lin Yi was a mysterious person. The more she interacted with him, the more mysterious she felt.

"Then change the prefix. I can afford to be an essence soul of the mortal world or a heaven-grade Island." Lin Yi said casually.

"Don't be silly. Tell me what we should do next. " Duanmu Yu rolled her eyes at him, but she was much more relaxed after Lin Yi's interruption. She wasn't as tense as before, and she was back to normal.

"What do you mean? Since we've come across such a good thing, of course we should take it away. The roots of spirit sense grass can't be found outside, this is a great opportunity, we can't miss it!" Lin Yi reached out and touched the root of the spirit sense grass, which was like a wall in front of him. He could feel the majestic spirit energy contained in it, and it was different from the star Black coal. It didn't seem to be pure spirit energy, but he would only know the details after he tried it.

"I also know that this is a rare opportunity, but we don't even know how to get out of here. Besides, it's so big, how can we take it away?" Duanmu Yu did not know whether to laugh or cry.

"That might not be the case." Lin Yi's lips curved up in a playful smile. With a thought, the huge root of the spirit sense grass disappeared without a trace.

"Ugh ..." Duanmu Yu was shocked. He remembered that Lin Yi said that he could store any plant in his space when he was fighting the water lotus Protector. The root of the spirit sense grass was huge, but it was still a plant. This might be a problem for others, but for Lin Yi, it was just a thought. A monster was a monster.

"I'll share it with you when we go up, any objections?" Lin Yi asked.

"No objections." Duanmu Yu agreed immediately. Putting aside the fact that Lin Yi wouldn't be able to bring it out without it, this wasn't the time to discuss this. Since he'd already taken the root, he had to find a way out as soon as possible. He wouldn't be able to rest in peace if he used it for his life.

The two of them immediately began to explore the strange space around them, but before they could do anything, a loud rumble suddenly came from far away and quickly approached their direction. In the haziness, they seemed to sense the ancient aura of a giant beast.

Lin Yi and Duanmu Yu were both shocked, but they didn't run away in a panic. They didn't know what this place was yet, and running away would only make them die faster. They might as well take a good look at what was coming.
