Chapter 312. Looking for trouble (1/2)

Wang Lin didn’t spread out his divine sense. He didn’t need to because he had a connection with these wandering souls. Not long after, Wang Lin’s expression suddenly changed.

Wang Lin quickly send out a message saying, “There is something abnormal 10 kilometers ahead.”

10 kilometers ahead of them was a strange, octopus-like creature slowly swaying about with countless tentacles swaying with its body.

One of the wandering souls got close. It was touched by a tentacle and immediately disappeared.

Wang Lin took a deep breath and sent out a vision of this along with the message.

Without a word, Chi Hu immediately changed the direction of the compass to move around it. As they passed by, one of the tentacles swept by the side of the compass.

Bang!

The compass started to shake violently and began to spin as they were flung north.

Wang Lin could only feel a powerful force enter his body. He felt like his organs were hit by tens of thousands kilograms of force. Blood rushed to his mouth, but he was able to swallow it back down.

The compass was still spinning and in the blink of an eye flew far into the distance.

Chi Hu’s face was red. Blood came out from the corners of his lips and his eyes were bloodshot. He let out a roar and after a long time finally stabilized the compass. His entire body looked like it was ready to collapse. His breathing was rough as he took out pills from his bag of holding and swallowed them.

Red Butterfly also looked very disheveled. Her eyes revealed a rare look of shock.

After an unknown amount of time, Chi Hu took a deep breath and sent out a message saying, “Thank you, brother Ceng, for the early warning. The three of us would have died here today if it wasn’t for you.”

Red Butterfly asked, “What kind of beast was that?”

“I don’t know what it is either, but something that can live inside the void of the Celestial Realm is not something we can handle. It only brushed past us and that was enough to almost kill us. Terrifying.” Chi Hu still had fear lingering in his voice.

Wang Lin slowly said, “This beast is called Xu.”

Chi Hu was surprised. “Brother Ceng knows this beast?”

Wang Lin said, “This Xu is considered a minor destructive beast. It is born from devouring the earth and lives by feeding off Yin energy. Even during ancient times, the ancient cultivators would need many people to defeat it.”

There was a description of that creature in Ancient God Tu Si’s memory. That creature had three treasures. The first were the tentacles, which were top-quality treasure refining materials. The second was its brain, which could increase one’s lifespan. The third was its core, which could give one the strength to lift ten thousand kilograms.

The ancient god clan members liked the core the best. After all, their cultivation was all focused on the body.

Wang Lin didn’t share this information.

Chi Hu said, “Brother Ceng is really knowledgable, I’m impressed.”

Red Butterfly snorted and said, with a cold voice, “Who knows if it is true or false? Don’t make up a random name.”

Wang Lin calmly said, “Ignorant!”

“You!” Red Butterfly’s eyes lit up.

Chi Hu felt a headache. Just as he was about to speak, Wang Lin said, “This creature normally has its tentacles withdrawn and only has it spread out like that when it is looking for food. Brother Chi Hu, quickly fly north. When the creature hunts, it spreads out a red aura. It is not something we can resist.”

Chi Hu was startled. If they were to continue going north, they would be completely lost. He couldn’t help but hesitate. In truth, he also had doubts about what Wang Lin said, but he wasn’t going to point it out like Red Butterfly did.

Wang Lin secretly sighed. He stood up and jumped off the compass. The restriction flag surrounded his body as he quickly flew north.

“Brother Ceng!” Chi Hu was shocked.

Red Butterfly coldly said, “It’s fine that he left. I don’t believe he recognized that creature.”

Chi Hu frowned. Survival was more important, so he clenched his teeth and spread out his divine sense south. Shortly after, his expression changed as he saw a wave of red aura spreading toward them.

Chi Hu was shocked. He steered the compass and flew north.

Red Butterfly was also shocked. After spreading out her divine sense, her face became very ugly.

After Wang Lin left the compass, he charged north. Although he didn’t know the exact power of the red aura, it left a deep impression in ancient god Tu Si’s memory.

That was why he didn’t hesitate to leave the compass and flew away by himself.

Chi Hu’s face was gloomy as he steered the compass. He was flying quickly to the north, but that red aura was very dangerous and it caught up to them in almost an instant.

Crackle!

The moment a corner of the compass was touched by the red aura, it disappeared as if it was devoured.

The compass shook greatly. Chi Hu coughed out a mouthful of blood and even Red Butterfly’s face became abnormally red.

Chi Hu shouted, “Red Butterfly, act! I must focus all of my attention on controlling the compass, so I can’t use any spells to resist!” He regretted not listening to Ceng Niu’s words. How else would they be in this crisis with the compass’ speed?

Without a word, Red Butterfly pointed at her brow and the rose appeared again. She quickly plucked two flower petals and flicked them at the red aura.

Bang Bang

Two earth-shattering explosions occurred, which pushed the red wave apart. Red Butterfly felt sweetness in her throat as she coughed out a large mouthful of blood.
