Chapter 354 – The Thousand-Eyed Beast
Chapter 354 – Thousand Eyes Beast
Xu Chuniang glanced at her somewhat inexplicably, and was about to put away the spirit wine, when a fat hand reached across the sky and snatched the wine pot over.
Kong joyfully laughed, “It’s okay, she doesn’t want me to. In the future, if Senior Sister Fu has anything she doesn’t want, she can give it to me.”
Fu Yun Shan looked at Kong Huan’s smiling face, the heart qi in her chest became even more upset.
Had she known this was the case, she might as well have accepted it!
Xu Chuniang held the formation talisman in her hand and struck a spiritual qi towards it, sending the formation talisman into the place where the water avoidance formation’s open door was located.
She saw that the formation, which had originally been a natural one, gently swung after coming into contact with the formation talisman, revealing an opening that only allowed one person to pass through.
Xu Chuniang stepped in first, and after everyone had entered the formation, she drove the formation talisman down towards the door of life, leading several people to leave through another exit in the formation.
Hidden beneath the water avoidance formation, however, was a huge black orb.
This ball did not know what kind of material it was made of, only a small part of the center was pure white, and it did not look like a cultivator’s cave in any way.
Several people looked at each other, and finally turned their gaze to Kong Huan.
Kong Huan looked embarrassed, “Don’t look at me, my master gave me the jade slip, I don’t know what this is.”
He tentatively swept his divine sense towards the odd orb, and before he could get close, he encountered some sort of barrier and his divine sense was bounced back as much as it could.
Kong Huan’s action was as if he had triggered some kind of switch, and that black orb suddenly, violently rotated.
Xu Chuniang’s heart gave birth to an extremely unsettling premonition, being in the vicinity of this black orb, she had the illusion of being stared at by a giant beast.
Zhuge Yun similarly realized that it was not good, his face became much more grave, “This place is weird, let’s leave …… first.”
Before his words fell, the pure white part of the black orb instantly emitted a piece of bizarre white light, sweeping towards where the four people were.
After the white light flashed, the black orb slowly fell silent and returned to calm.
Only the four people who were still stopped in place just now were nowhere to be seen.
When that white light swept in, Xu Chuniang felt a great suction force, she resisted with all her might, but she still couldn’t block that suction force.
After the suction subsided, she realized that she had already left the bottom of the lake and was in a new space.
Fortunately, the suction force did not separate the four of them, Xu Chuniang’s divine sense swept, and soon discovered the other three not far away.
A few people’s faces were not very good, anyone who was inexplicably caught up in an unknown space would not be in a good mood.
Kong Huan touched his nose somewhat awkwardly and looked around.
“Could it be that this place, is a space born out of that odd black ball?”
“It shouldn’t be that simple, the black ball might be a portal connecting to this space.”
Zhuge Yun shook his head, he just released his divine sense to probe and found that this place was very vast.
Although that black ball had some divine features, it might not be able to open up a space as large as this.
He casually took in a fly insect in the grass and lightly crushed it with his fingertips, and the fragile fly insect dispersed like a speck of dust.
“Spiritual Qi is extremely thin here, and there isn’t even a trace of spiritual Qi in the fly insect. Since this fragile fly insect can survive, perhaps the situation isn’t as bad as we thought.”
Xu Chuniang thoughtfully, her gaze landing on Kong Huan, “Did your master say anything when he handed you the jade slip?”
Kong Huan scratched his head and silently shook his head against the gazes of several people.
Master just casually gave the jade slip, he really thought it was the cave of a Foundation Establishment Cultivator.
The remaining three looked at each other, and in their hearts, they had a deeper perception of Mo Wu Di’s unreliability.
Zhuge Yun withdrew his gaze and took the lead to walk forward in one direction.
“Since we can’t leave, let’s check around. The situation of this place is unknown, so to avoid attracting trouble, don’t imperialize your sword for now.” Several people quickly adjusted their minds and followed Zhuge Yun.
After traveling for an hour, Xu Chuniang sensed something, “There seems to be someone in front of us, a …… uncultivated mortal!”
A few people looked at each other and decided to go over to see the situation first.
In this space, a mortal with no cultivation had appeared at first glance, it was a bit suspicious no matter how one looked at it.
In order to avoid scaring the peasant woman, Xu Chuniang told the other three to stay away and went up alone to deal with the man.
“Why don’t I go.”
Fu Yunshan spoke with some hesitation, “I’m at least higher in cultivation than you, so it’s easier to deal with unexpected situations. Who knows if that person is a cultivator in disguise?”
Xu Chuniang shook her head, after spending time together along the way, she had long known that Fu Yunshan and Zhuge Yun both came from cultivation families.
Even Kong Huan had joined the inner sect of the Easy Sect at a very young age and hadn’t had much contact with the world of mortals.
“It’s better for me to go, I’m more familiar with the mortal world.”
After Xu Chuniang finished speaking, she walked in the direction of the man.
The remaining three waited where they were, but were ready to strike at any time, and it was only when they saw Xu Chunniang return unharmed that they breathed a slight sigh of relief.
“How was it, did you find out any news?”
Xu Chuniang nodded, “Have you heard of the Thousand Eyes Beast?”
After asking this, she spoke the news that she had just gotten, and finally added, “That peasant woman has to reverently thank the Thousand-Eyed Beast for every two words she says.”
Zhuge Yun thought of something and his face cooled a bit.
“I do know that there is a kind of Evil Eye Beast, also known as the Thousand Eyes Beast, that matches those situations you mentioned just now. It’s just that this kind of demonic beast seems to have long been extinct in the Qian Luo Realm.”
It was rumored that this kind of evil beast was divine and had unpredictable abilities, and that even a YuanYing True Lord couldn’t do half as well in front of it.
Because it has so many eyes, it is also called the “Thousand Eyes Beast”.
A few people looked at each other, it could not be that the thousand-eyed beast in the peasant woman’s mouth is the long-extinct evil-eyed beast, right?
Xu Chuniang’s face stared, “Do you guys think that the black orb you saw before looked like an eye?”
When she said that, the rest of the people also realized that the thing that sucked them in was most likely the eye of the Evil Eye Beast.
Their faces immediately turned ugly, this Evil Eye Beast’s single eye alone had such inexplicable power, God knows how strong its main body was.
Xu Chuniang took a deep breath and suppressed her thoughts.
“Right now, we haven’t encountered the Evil Eye Beast yet, so there’s no need to scare ourselves. That peasant woman of the party had no cultivation and was able to survive here, we may not be fine either.”
“Senior Sister Xu is right, since that peasant woman mentioned that there is a city of cultivators to the south, we’ll head south first to take a look.”
The group sped up and headed towards the south.
The further south they traveled, the more mortals they encountered on the road, at first there were still some small villages, later on, they slowly encountered some towns, and in the end, there was even a national capital.
These mortals, regardless of their status, all believed in the Thousand Eyes Beast.
After arriving at the capital, they soon discovered the traces of other cultivators.
These cultivators had low cultivation levels, only at the Qi Practicing Stage, and had the appearance of coexisting with the mortals around them in a friendly manner.
