Shocked! The Young Master's Petite Darling Is a Master of Mysteries-Chapter 472: The Proper Way to Ask for Help

Only their chests and above were visible above the ground, everything below the chest had been consumed by the swamp.

Clearly, they were all cultivators with high-level magic, yet now, all their magic had failed!

No matter how they tried to use their magic, they couldn’t escape this place. They could only try to regulate their breathing, slowing their descent.

But even so, the trend of them sinking was irreversible.

Seeing that they were about to be completely silenced within this swamp, deep despair arose in everyone’s hearts!

Just as they resigned themselves to their fate, thinking they’d never get out of this Ancient Wood Forest, a familiar figure appeared before them.

"Miss! It’s Miss!" someone spotted Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, and joy immediately sparkled in their eyes.

The Miss had come; they were saved!

Xia Mian glanced at the people in the swamp and said softly, "Don’t move yet."

After saying this, Xia Mian flicked out several Spiritual Light Whips.

She flicked them directly in front of the people, "Hold tight."

Without delay, the group tightly grasped the Spiritual Light Whips thrown by Xia Mian.

The next moment, Xia Mian raised her hand, and the Spiritual Light Whips tensed, pulling everyone out of the swamp!

They landed on firm ground near Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan, and everyone moved around, realizing that the area where Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan stood was not soft!

The group got up and wisely maintained a half-meter distance from Xia Mian.

Having just come out of the swamp, they were still covered in unknown filth and did not want to dirty Xia Mian’s clothing.

"Miss, why have you come?" the leading Divine Clan guard Ah Shi cautiously asked.

With the Miss’s wedding day approaching, how could she risk herself for them?

"I heard something happened to you, so I came to check." Xia Mian smiled faintly, "I’ll take you out of here."

The ground here is different from elsewhere. If Lu Zechuan hadn’t forcefully controlled it, every step would feel like walking in a quagmire. She truly didn’t know how these people managed to get here.

Ah Shi was silent for a moment, "Miss, Mr. Ming is still here."

Xia Mian squinted her eyes. Indeed, the oddity of this Ancient Wood Forest was apparent at first glance, yet they had still come in. If it weren’t for finding news about Xie Chengming, they likely wouldn’t have stumbled in so easily.

"We followed Mr. Ming’s figure, but lost track of him here," Ah Shi said, his face showing a tinge of embarrassment.

"You mean to say Xie Chengming can move freely here without restriction?" Xia Mian gently furrowed her brows.

Ah Shi slowly nodded, "Yes, Mr. Xie’s movements are agile, entirely unaffected by this unusual environment."

Suspicion crept into Xia Mian’s eyes, "You go out first. I’ll find him."

Saying this, Xia Mian used a Spiritual Talisman to enshroud the people, sending them out of this peculiar Ancient Wood Forest.

To prevent them from causing trouble, Xia Mian also instructed them not to enter regardless of any sounds they might hear.

Ah Shi and the others understood that, given their abilities, entering the Ancient Wood Forest would add more chaos than help, so they adhered strictly to Xia Mian’s words.

After sending Ah Shi and the others out, Xia Mian continued to venture deeper into the Ancient Wood Forest.

Lu Zechuan followed behind her, saying in a low voice, "Xie Chengming’s cultivation isn’t very high, but he’s unaffected by this environment. Therefore, there’s only one answer..."

"He’s possessed by some strange entity," Xia Mian squinted her eyes.

Only if the entity possessing Xie Chengming had a higher cultivation would it be unaffected by this environment’s constraints and influences.

Lu Zechuan’s face was somewhat stern, "Let’s go see!"

After speaking, Lu Zechuan continued to follow Xia Mian as they ventured further into the depths of the Ancient Wood Forest.

The further they went, the less path there was. The space between the trees became smaller and smaller, almost as if they were about to touch each other.

Xia Mian’s eyebrows nearly knitted into a knot.

There was almost no path ahead. Where could Xie Chengming have gone?

While Xia Mian was lost in thought, Lu Zechuan suddenly stopped his steps and slightly raised his head.

Xia Mian seemed to understand, and she also looked up to the sky.

The ancient trees soared to the sky, making the two of them standing at the base seem extremely small, with only fragmented light pouring down from the treetops.

These scattered lights outlined mottled shadows on the ground, extremely bizarre in shape.

They didn’t look like branched patterns but more like the wide-open jaws of a beast, with neat rows of teeth projected down...

Xia Mian’s face paled slightly, perhaps they hadn’t initially entered an Ancient Wood Forest, but rather the jaws of a beast?

If it truly was a giant beast, with them now inside it, where would Xie Chengming be in the creature?

Just as this thought appeared in Xia Mian’s mind, she heard a distinct rustling sound not far away.

Xia Mian’s eyes suddenly widened. Ah Shi and the others had said that Xie Chengming was still in this Ancient Wood Forest. Could this sound be coming from Xie Chengming now?

Xia Mian stopped fussing over the strange shadow patterns on the ground and was about to walk forward.

But she was suddenly grabbed by the wrist by Lu Zechuan, "Hold on!"

Lu Zechuan looked quite serious, his black eyes vigilantly scanning the distance, "That sound just now didn’t sound human."

Xia Mian squinted her eyes, "We have to go take a look."

Even if it’s not human, what if Xie Chengming is in danger?

Even if Xie Chengming might already be possessed by something strange, he was still Xie Chengming.

She had to try to save him.

Lu Zechuan gave a low hum of agreement, following behind Xia Mian, not allowing her to go by herself.

After walking a bit further, they finally discovered that someone was hanging from a tree not far away.

That person was struggling hard, trying to break free from the tree.

Unfortunately, the tree and everything around it seemed to have come alive, engaging in a battle of wits and strength with him, leaving him unable to escape.

The person seemed to grow increasingly irritable, occasionally driving sharp fingernails into the tree’s trunk with a rustling sound...

Seeing the constantly struggling person, Xia Mian stopped in her tracks.

As if sensing someone approaching, the person’s gaze turned towards Xia Mian and Lu Zechuan.

Their eyes looked somewhat wary and vigilant, lacking any joy.

Xia Mian’s eyes suddenly turned icy.

The person before her was Xie Chengming yet not Xie Chengming.

The body was Xie Chengming’s, but the soul was not.

Had Xie Chengming been possessed, or was his soul suppressed?

"Hey! Girl, get me down!" the hanging Xie Chengming shouted at Xia Mian.

The attitude was nothing like the respect Xie Chengming usually showed Xia Mian.

Xia Mian looked at Xie Chengming’s face, giving a light chuckle, "Is that how you ask for help?"
