Chapter 2564: There is a Green Snake at the Foot of Wisteria Mountain

Shi Li's mind was filled with confusion, but she inexplicably felt that the voice was somewhat familiar. She patiently looked for the source of the sound, and then saw a boy in the corner of the cave.

He had a thick, heavy iron chain locked around his neck and was imprisoned in a corner like a dog. Even the faint light above his head could not find him.

Even Shi Li could only see his outline clearly, but not what he looked like. Shi Li could not sense any malice or evil spirit from him. The only thing she could sense, besides an inexplicable familiarity, was wariness and disgust.

Guessing that the appearance of this cave and the child must be related to the evil fog, Shi Li cautiously took two steps forward and bent down to try to look the child at eye level.

"I don't know how I ended up here. Are you locked here? What's your name?"

Unexpectedly, she actually silenced the child.

The child lowered his head and didn't speak for a long time. Shi Li should have felt impatient, but she didn't know why. She just waited quietly for the child to speak, without urging him or being impatient.

Finally, the child moved slowly, and his voice was hoarser than before.

It was just a short sentence, spoken one word at a time, as if he was not very familiar with speaking.

"I, I don't know, go away."

It would be hard for any kind-hearted person to let go after seeing this scene. Such a young child was locked up in such a place without any dignity. Even if it was against the law of heaven, it would not be allowed to be like this.

Shi Li looked at the child's figure and felt that he was no more than five or six years old. How big a mistake could he have made?

"Then let me help you untie the chain?" She took another step forward and said to the child carefully.

The child was silent for a long time again.

"You... can't untie it, let's go." The child seemed to turn his head to the other side, as if he didn't care at all about untying the chains and being free.

But Shi Li could tell the unspoken expectation from the vague outline and smiled subconsciously.

"If you don't try, how do you know I can't solve it?"

She no longer hesitated, strode forward, grabbed a section of the chain, and then used magic to break the chain, which was almost as thick as her wrist.

The rustling sound made the child look up.

Unlike Shi Li, he had long since adapted to the darkness here. Shi Li was standing closer to the only light above her head, so he could almost see her clearly.

"Look, it's broken apart. Don't underestimate me."

Shi Li shook the chain in his hand at him and said, "Come on, I'll take you away from this terrible place. But you have to tell me, who imprisoned you here and why?"

She also didn't want to rashly save someone who shouldn't be saved.

The child stared at the broken chain in her hand, then looked at himself for a while and suddenly laughed.

The laughter was hoarse and familiar, causing Shi Li to frown involuntarily, "You..."

Before he could finish his words, there were strange shakings all around, as if there had been a sudden earthquake or the cave had collapsed.

Shi Li wanted to go forward and grab the child and leave here together, but she found that the person who was so close to her seemed to be separated from her by time and space, and she couldn't catch him at all.

Then, her wrist was suddenly grabbed by a force from behind, and before she could react, she was pulled over forcefully.

When Shi Li came to her senses again, she was suddenly back in the thick fog, as if everything she had just experienced was an illusion.

The one who caught her was Chu Jiangchuan.

"What happened just now?" Shi Li looked at the young man's blurry face in the thick fog and asked in confusion.

Chu Jiangchuan chuckled, "This thing can create illusions. However, it also exposes itself."

As soon as he finished speaking, Chu Jiangchuan suddenly drew his sword, and the sharp sword light slashed forward without warning.

A sharp howl came out of nowhere from that direction.

Then, the fog in front of me miraculously slowly dissipated.
