Chapter 135 The moat exudes strangeness everywhere.
Upon hearing Gouzi's words, Yun Juan frowned slightly, staring intently at him, her tone filled with doubt and questioning: "Who exactly is this person you're talking about? Do you actually know him? Or are you two old acquaintances?"
At this moment, Gouzi was also filled with uncertainty. Could that faint aura just now really have come from the person who had just passed by?
Although he had managed to glean a tiny bit of information thanks to his keen sense of smell, he could not be absolutely certain of it.
He only caught a very faint scent, and just as he was trying to confirm it again, he found that the scent had vanished in an instant, as if it had never existed.
Now, Gouzi couldn't help but start to doubt himself. Was it because he and Yun Juan had gone through so many ups and downs recently that he longed deep down to find those mysterious fragments scattered all over the world, so that he could live the ideal life he had always dreamed of?
Whether it's returning to modern society or using the magical power of space to live peacefully in this world, it's a deep-seated wish shared by him and Yun Juan.
For this reason, whenever he encountered anything, Gouzi would unconsciously sense a unique, fragmented aura emanating from it.
However, faced with this situation, Xunzi found it difficult to determine whether this was a real clue or a mere delusion born from his excessive desire.
Fortunately, Gouzi was no ordinary person!
It is an advanced intelligent system originating from modern society, a masterpiece meticulously crafted by countless human wisdom and effort!
If it weren't for such a unique identity and structure, even this fleeting, imperceptible wisp of aura would be absolutely undetectable to ordinary beings.
However, thanks to his highly sensitive perception, Gouzi successfully detected this subtle change.
Unfortunately, at this moment, he had no way to tell Yun Juan about this discovery.
Because he knew very well that if he rashly revealed this matter, and it turned out to be nothing but a false alarm, then Yun Juan would only be deeply disappointed.
The feeling of falling from high hopes to the depths of despair in an instant is simply too cruel and heartless.
Thinking of this, Gouzi shook his head vigorously, as if trying to shake off all the tangled thoughts in his mind.
Immediately afterward, he forced a nonchalant expression and said, "It's nothing! Maybe it was just my imagination! Don't take it too seriously!"
Despite saying that, deep down he was still full of curiosity and doubt about that mysterious aura.
Seeing this, Yun Juan stopped asking questions, because at this moment she was still worried about Xiao Shi's safety.
After all, human life is the most precious and important thing compared to everything else!
It was quite strange, but after they left that courtyard, Gouzi's spatial power miraculously became able to be used normally again.
You should know that when we were in that courtyard just now, the situation was completely different.
It was as if the place had become a small magnetic field, firmly holding everything in place, making it impossible for anyone to move an inch, and even the slightest bit of spatial power was completely useless.
Without hesitation, Yun Quan used Gou Zi's teleportation ability to rush straight to the moat.
However, to their disappointment, they found no valuable clues or items upon arriving at the location.
Looking around, all that could be seen was a desolate and barren landscape; there was not a single person in sight, nor even a trace of a bird.
This place was a lifeless wasteland. In addition to the mountains of withered yellow leaves, there was also a faint, fishy smell in the air.
Gouzi could no longer contain his dissatisfaction and began to complain incessantly: "Oh dear, why is this person imprisoned in this godforsaken place? There's nothing here! As far as the eye can see, there are only rivers and more rivers! It's empty and desolate, a place that even birds wouldn't want to come and poop!"
Yun Juan pondered to herself, feeling that there was an indescribable eerie atmosphere permeating the place.
From the moment she stepped into this area, an unusual aura lingered around her like a shadow, as if an invisible hand was tightly gripping her throat, making the air around her feel unusually heavy and oppressive.
She carefully crouched down and gently brushed aside the mountain of fallen leaves with her slender fingers.
Suddenly, I felt a strange sensation on my fingertips, as if I had touched a hard object.
Yun Quan's heart skipped a beat, and a glint of light flashed in her eyes.
Without hesitation, she quickened her pace, using both hands to pry open more leaves around her.
As the layers of covering were peeled away, a stone covered with mysterious and strange runes was finally revealed.
Those runes, like ancient codes, emitted a chilling light.
"Gouzi, come and see this!" Yun Juan shouted excitedly.
Upon hearing the call, Gouzi hurriedly stepped forward.
His eyes widened, a blue light flashing within them, as he activated his unique scanning function.
Just moments later, a look of surprise appeared on his face, and he said excitedly, "The runes on these are very likely related to the fragments we have been searching for!"
However, just as the two were basking in the joy of discovering an important clue, the calm river surface suddenly began to ripple with tiny waves.
Immediately afterwards, a nearly transparent figure slowly rose from the water like a ghost, gradually becoming clearer.
Upon seeing this, Yun Juan immediately tensed up. She nimbly stood up and stared intently at the approaching unidentified figure.
At the same time, almost instinctively, Gouzi stepped forward and shielded Yun Juan behind him.
Although what appeared before him was merely a soul without a physical body, Xunzi knew that its potential threat should not be underestimated.
After all, even if it seems fragile and powerless, it may still possess a certain degree of combat capability.
Moreover, even though Gouzi often harbored resentment towards Yun Juan and would occasionally argue and bicker with her over trivial matters.
But at this moment, he knew very well that he could not allow anyone to harm Yun Juan in the slightest.
Even if someone dared to lay a finger on her, she would not hesitate to step forward and fight them to the death.
The figure gradually became clearer, revealing itself to be a woman with a beautiful face but a sorrowful expression.
