Chapter 283: Meeting the Mysterious Black Gown Man Again (1/2)
“Therefore, I won’t stop you two if you want to go ahead and search for Death Shrine,” Cheng Yu replied nonchalantly.
“…” Tian Xue and Tian Xing turned silent. What Cheng Yu said was right. They all had their own goals, own loved ones and people who waited for them to return home. This time, Tian Xue didn’t blame Cheng Yu. After all, ever since Cheng Yu saved her, he had been helping them. For him to extend his trip for a period of a month could already be an extreme benevolence on his part.
“Senior Brother, then do you think that the palace you are searching for might be the same as the Death Shrine we are looking for? Or perhaps, within that palace you are searching for, there might be god’s water?” Looking at how downcast Tian Xue had became, Tian Xing wasn’t feeling any better. After all, Tian Xing had grown up with Tian Xue and had always treated her mother as his own. So, he changed the topic. Hearing Tian Xing’s words, Tian Xue’s eyes immediately glowed. She lifted up her head and looked at Cheng Yu expectantly.
“What you said might be possible. I hope that the palace I’m searching for is Death Shrine as well. At least, I’m confident to say that I can locate it and it is just a matter of time,” Cheng Yu frowned as he pondered. Actually, Cheng Yu had thought of such a possibility before. Inside Death Forest, there were only five palaces. And that so called Death Shrine would be the Heavenly God Palace. However, before locating Heavenly God Palace, he couldn’t be sure of his conjecture.
“If it’s like that, it would be for the best. We also do not need to look for a needle inside such a big ocean,” Tian Xing laughed.
“Hopefully! The meat is done. Let’s fill our stomaches first!” Cheng Yu also hoped for that. It was the best possible outcome.
“Eh? Rabbits? Lots of rabbits! So cute! Here, let sister give you a hug!” Just when the trio was about to start their meal, a rabbit leaped and landed beside Tian Xue. The spotless white fur made it look exceptionally cute. The moment Tian Xue saw it, she had fallen in love with it. The maiden heart of her’s immediately sparked as she extended her hand out, hoping to get closer to the rabbit.
“Be careful!” Within the eyes of the rabbit, a flash of red flickered, catching Cheng Yu’s attention. He panicked as he hastily shouted towards Tian Xue. In the end, Cheng Yu was late by a step. Just when Tian Xue was about to come in contact with the rabbit, that rabbit suddenly opened its mouth and shot out a big red fireball.
Tian Xue was in the Golden Core Realm, but the energy brought forth by the fireball wasn’t any weaker as it actually possessed the might of a Golden Core middle stage. Since Tian Xue wasn’t in the least prepared, even if she had her Heavenly Dipper Armor on, she would still be blasted by the fireball. Cheng Yu’s reaction was the fastest. Instantly, he charged out and caught Tian Xue. However, Tian Xue’s body had already turned charred black and she was coughing out blood. Cheng Yu immediately took out a spiritual-grade Nirvana Pill, and gave it to Tian Xue.
“How is it?” Tian Xue swallowed the pill, causing her complexion to turn a lot better as her vigor started returning to her body. She laid in Cheng Yu’s bosom with a baffled expression as she looked at those rabbits. She had never expected that these cute rabbits would actually possess such a frightening strength.
“I have long told you not to randomly touch these animals. Now you believe me?” Cheng Yu said ill-manneredly. When Cheng Yu first entered the core area, he was already very curious. Why would there be so many ordinary animals living here? Didn’t they say that there was no demonic beasts around here? However, how could there not be any demonic beasts in Death Forest. Could this be a holy land? Cheng Yu would never believe such things. Therefore, Cheng Yu had repeatedly reminded them to be extra cautious and not touch these ordinary looking animals. However, it seemed like no one had listened to him.
“Ah! Senior Brother, I think it’s better that you put us inside the Mountain River Diagram! These furry animals seem not easy to handle!” Seeing how injured Tian Xue had become, Tian Xing was shocked. Before he had even reacted, he saw a rabbit jumping towards him. Tian Xing was frightened to the point that he quickly threw away the roasted meat in his hand as he dashed towards Cheng Yu. All of them looked at the rabbits that had leaped at Tian Xing astonishingly. They discovered that the supposedly vegetarian rabbit had actually started feasting on the roasted meat! They finally understood why there were so many rabbits encircling them. Turns out that they were carnivorous.
“Senior Brother, this place is exactly like you said. On the surface, it looks very normal, but the dangers are actually hidden inside this normality,” Tian Xing gulped. This world was truly too mystical. Even the rabbits had been turned into Golden Core experts and had even started eating meat. However, he was only a puny Foundation Establishment cultivator, making him worse than a rabbit!
“Alright. It’s better for us to quickly leave this place. These rabbits are getting larger in numbers. However, they seem to be more interested in the roasted meat!” Cheng Yu stored the duo back into the Mountain River Diagram before fleeing. Cheng Yu saw quite a number of rabbits were rushing their way here. However, what caused him to be glad was that these animals didn’t seem to be interested in attacking humans. Otherwise, with so many rabbits around, Cheng Yu would definitely suffer! Originally, he still harbored the intention of eating some rabbit meat, but now he could only give up on that idea. If he were to attract another group of them, he would certainly suffer.
As such, Cheng Yu had no choice but to call out the Jewel Cauldron and continue his journey. A few days passed and Tian Xue had been inside the Mountain River Diagram recuperating her injuries while Tian Xing had also stayed inside not daring to come out. Only Cheng Yu would occasionally come out to survey. The current Mountain River Diagram had a total of eleven spiritual veins positioned in different places. The density of Spiritual Qi inside had grown denser. To cultivators, it was certainly an optimal place for them to cultivate. With the increase in the density of Spiritual Qi, the speed at which one could cultivate would also grow.
