Chapter 927 – The Place of Raising the Fury

Chapter 927: The place of cultivating the demon
The Scorpion Woman returned to her senses, wiped the saliva from the corner of her mouth, and after feeling carefully for a while, her expression became much more grave.

“It seems like this is really the case …… How did the bane suddenly become more?”

“Perhaps, it has something to do with them eating those fruits.”

Xu Chuniang took a deep breath, her eyes revealed a brilliant light, “The thicker the baleful qi is, the heavier the rain falls, just now there was already a tendency for the rain to stop, and just for a moment it was back to being big again, it’s time to get out of here.”

Scorpion Woman still remembered the direction that those two groups of people left earlier, and purposely chose a road that avoided the crowd.

The two of them were now alone and weak, if they were bumped into by those people, they were afraid that they would be captured and used as nourishment for that strange tree.

Scorpion Woman concealed her figure, and continued walking along the place with even less fury, after entering a sparse forest, the rain that had been falling for a day finally stopped.

Along the way, they encountered quite a few cultivators one after another.

Some of these people were Spirit Cultivators and some were Demon Cultivators, all in groups of three or two.

Their vigilance was high, and when they detected the figures of Xu Chuniang and Scorpion Woman, they would subconsciously distance themselves from them.

“So hungry, I feel even hungrier than before.”

After leading Xu Chuniang up a tall tree, Scorpion Lady rubbed her stomach and gazed towards the distance, trying to find something she could eat.

Upon this look, she really did find something.

“Look, my lord, are those two people gnawing on the bark of a tree? And there, are those three people digging up roots to eat?”

Xu Chuniang sniffed and looked, and for a moment, she didn’t know what to say, she had only been hungry for a day, it wasn’t as if she was even gnawing on tree bark and roots, right?
The Scorpion Woman’s eyes revealed a longing ghostly light, and her mouth began to frantically secrete saliva again.

“These bark and roots look quite chewy, and the sap is definitely rich, it seems really edible, why didn’t I think of that? Although the flavor is definitely worse ……”

Saying that, the Scorpion Woman’s eyes locked onto a tiny shoot, and with a strong effort, she was about to break it off.

“Wait.”

Xu Chuniang stopped Scorpion Granny’s movements, “Let’s first see if they have any adverse reactions after eating the bark and roots.”

Scorpion Granny withdrew her hand and waited patiently for a while, realizing that those people did not have any discomfort after eating the bark and roots.

Her mood perked up a bit, “My lord, these things seem to be really edible!”

Xu Chuniang frowned, “Although the surrounding baneful qi hasn’t changed, I still feel that something isn’t quite right, it’s best not to touch these trees.”

“But, I’m really hungry ah ……”

The Scorpion Woman blinked, a begging look on her face, “Why don’t I just take a bite, just one bite, okay?”

“Really hungry?”

The Scorpion Lady nodded frantically, “Really hungry!”

Originally, she hadn’t felt much, but after seeing others eat and learning that these tree barks and roots could also be eaten, the only thought left in her mind was to eat as well.

Without a word, Xu Chuniang took out a dagger and a bowl-shaped magic weapon from the small world.

After slashing her palm with the dagger, there was blood flowing out from her palm and falling into the bowl.

“My lord, what are you doing?”

The Scorpion Lady was startled, and with reason returning to her mind, she subconsciously tried to help Xu Chuniang stop the bleeding.

Seeing that there was already half a bowl of blood in the bowl, Xu Chuniang didn’t stop her movements, only pushing the bowl to Scorpion Lady, “Eat this.”

“I’m not hungry.”

Scorpion granny subconsciously shook her head in refusal, where could she drink an adult’s blood? “Aren’t you hungry? Drink this, it’ll more or less make you feel better.”

Xu Chuniang insisted on pushing the bowl to her, “You’ve been traveling on my back for most of the day, you’ve lost too much strength, since it’s from me, just take it.”

Scorpion woman felt her eyes a bit sore, and once again pushed back, “My lord, I suddenly don’t feel so hungry anymore.”

“Really?”

“Really!”

The Scorpioness nodded her head vigorously, a hint of doubt in her expression.

“Strange to say, no matter if it was earlier when I saw those people eating fruits, or just now when I saw others gnawing on the bark and roots of trees, as long as I saw others eating, the hunger in my belly, became much stronger.

Now that I have regained my composure, I don’t feel hungry in return, Your Excellency must not hurt yourself again because of me.”

Xu Chuniang took a careful look at the Scorpion Woman’s complexion, and seeing that she did not appear to be faking, she put away the half bowl of blood and the dagger.

“Alright, since you’re not hungry right now, I’ll keep it for you and give it to you when you’re hungry, what’s the situation on Spirit Demon Island is still unclear at the moment, so don’t touch anything on the island before then.”

“Yes.”

After this, the Scorpion Woman was much calmer, she continued to observe her surroundings, and as a result, after looking around for a week, she realized that there were more and more people gnawing on the bark and roots of the trees.

Intermittently, there were also quite a number of people rushing towards the forest from all directions to join the team gnawing on the bark and roots.

There are also some people even because of the coaxing of this food quarrel, and even fought the scene once very chaotic.

Only a small number of people stayed out of it, barely keeping their sanity!
Something is wrong, something is very wrong!

Scorpion Woman looked serious, ”My lord, those who are qualified to enter Spirit Demon Island are all Harmonization Stage cultivators with superior minds.

Right now it’s only the first day, even if they’re hungry again, a group of Harmonization Stage cultivators with honorable status shouldn’t be so disrespectful.”

Xu Chuniang nodded approvingly, “You’re right, it’s indeed quite abnormal, perhaps, they swallowed the bark and roots not because they wanted to, but some sort of force compelled them to do so.”

Scorpioness thought of the fear that she had felt not long ago, dominated by hunger, and a sense of fear rose in her heart.

Earlier, when she was hungry, she was truly starving and hated everything she could eat.

Luckily, her master had recalled her sanity, otherwise, she would have been one of the ones crazily gnawing on tree bark and roots by now.

“When my lord said that, I did remember as well, I was so starved earlier that I really couldn’t care about anything but the instinct to eat.”

Xu Chuniang lowered her eyes, a thoughtful look flashing in her eyes.

The fewer trees there were, the thicker the fury was, and the heavier the rain fell.

On the contrary, places with many trees had very thin demonic qi and a suitable climate.

These trees, they seem to be able to suppress the demonic energy?

And the power that lurked in the shadows, using an inducing method to make the crowd nibble on the trees, could its purpose also be related to the Draconic Qi?
If the truth of the matter was really as she had guessed, then this Spirit Demon Island was, most likely, an outright scam!

This place was not even a secret to becoming a True Devil and True Immortal, but rather a place to nurture the Furies!
These elites selected from the Spirit Realm and Demon Realm were the best nutrients for these Furies!

Xu Chuniang broke out in a cold sweat at her guess, her heartbeat suddenly speeding up a lot.

Only True Immortals and True Devils could have created the Spirit and Devil Islands with such great skill, playing the high-ranking cultivators of the Spirit and Devil realms, into their hands.

Unspeakable, unreadable.
