The night was as black as ink, and the waves surged violently.
Thunder and lightning intertwined, and torrential rain poured down.
Wang Wu and General Xuelang huddled in a small crevice in the rock, shivering with cold.
Hmm, General Xuelang had transford into a tiny puppy the size of a fist, and Wang Wu had turned into a little bear cub the size of a fist, like quails abandoned by the world, trembling and cautious, walking on thin ice.
The days dominated by the First-Grade Snake Demon were truly hard to bear.
In a trance, Wang Wu thought he was back more than forty years ago, the night he first traversed, scared beyond asure in a crevice in the rock.
No one had the heart to speak, much less dare to speak.
General Xuelang was so frightened that he almost burrowed into Wang Wu’s body, and Wang Wu felt the sa way. However, the two little furballs snuggled together were quite warm.
But who had the heart to dwell on that? Wang Wu didn’t even dare to take off the Hundred-Change Ruyi Demon Leaf, fearing that any mont a giant snake head might appear and swallow him whole.
As for Danger Perception, well, there was no feeling of danger at all.
But this ti he didn’t trust even his Danger Perception.
Because it wasn’t reasonable!
Snake Island was hiding well in the big lake, but your little punk antics forced it to relocate, costing a hidden base and wasting countless resources for teleportation retreat. This wasn’t just about old and new grudges.
Wang Wu couldn’t think of any reason the First-Grade Snake Demon would spare them, not a single one.
Especially since the Snake Demon had disappeared. This was not a good sign.
At tis like this, telling that Danger Perception indicates everything is normal is less believable than saying Danger Perception is in a cooldown period.
After all, the Perception Demon Pill and Concealing Demon Pill are the sa; they are normal in a steady state, but once activated, they only last for 12 hours, requiring a month’s cooldown afterward.
So, his current Danger Perception had actually dropped to Level 19.3.
This effect is certainly different.
In other words, if it were a steady-state Danger Perception, Wang Wu was sure he wouldn’t have made the previous choice.
That would really be like overtaking with a razor, dancing between two major camps, with a slight mistake leading to body and soul shattering.
This night was unbearably long, but nothing happened at all.
Dawn ca, the dark clouds dispersed, and sunlight spread out, countless golden Spirit Essences started drifting down; it turns out there were Spirit Essences in the sea.
"Xiong Wu, we must collect so Spirit Essences."
General Xuelang poked his fluffy little head out a bit, then imdiately retracted it, speaking sowhat lancholically.
"For what?"
Wang Wu was startled; he was still lost in thought, mainly because he hadn’t collected Spirit Essences in a long ti, so he didn’t react imdiately.
"Of course for cultivation. We can’t keep hiding here. We have to escape. That Snake Demon might be temporarily exhausted from teleporting Snake Island and needs to recover in seclusion, but that doesn’t an we’re safe. It won’t let us go. We must flee!"
General Xuelang’s paw patted Wang Wu’s head, don’t you understand such a simple principle?
"Also, we need to store enough Spiritual Qi, if possible, I hope you can help upgrade the Thunderous and Swift Divine Techniques one more level, so that in the future, I can also help you escape."
"You’re going to help escape?"
Wang Wu found it quite novel.
"What, aren’t you convinced? I saw your state when you fully activated the Demon Wind yesterday. Indeed, your Qi Blood is so vigorous it makes jealous, but your technique is really poor. Believe it or not, if I take you to escape, the speed can be doubled?"
"Double!"
This ti Wang Wu was truly shocked. He knew General Xuelang’s Basic Agility was maxed out at 300 points and that it had therefore cultivated the Thunderous and Swift Divine Techniques, but he never expected such a big difference!
"Stop wasting ti, think of a way, the Spirit Essence tide is about to fall—"
Before General Xuelang finished speaking, countless Spirit Essences seed to be sucked in by an invisible vortex, then gathered tens of thousands of ters in the sky before falling directly onto that Snake Island.
Due to the sheer number of golden Spirit Essences, it seed as if a golden pillar of light appeared directly above Snake Island, with a Divine Dragon with claws bared faintly visible inside.
At this mont Wang Wu and General Xuelang didn’t even dare to breathe loudly. What was happening? Snake Island actually sucked up all the golden Spirit Essences within a thousand miles.
Is there no justice?
Is there no way to survive?
"Sothing’s wrong, we have to leave here." Wang Wu suddenly had a bad feeling, and as soon as he spoke, the golden light on Snake Island suddenly burst forth, the golden Divine Dragon inside seed to roar, and in the next mont, a strange undulation arose, as if even space was twisted, and then Snake Island vanished again, teleporting away.
Leaving only Wang Wu and General Xuelang staring wide-eyed at each other.
Watching the seawater rush back in, quickly filling the crater left behind.
However, rather than dissipating, the sense of danger only intensified.
"Let’s go!"
Wang Wu pulled General Xuelang and dashed out of the crack, "What about your divine techniques, quickly take away, run as far as you can, and as fast as you can!"
At this mont, Wang Wu’s heart was pounding like a drum, his face pale, the feeling of impending doom so palpable.
But General Xuelang showed a bitter smile, "Without Gale Spiritual Qi, how can I run?"
"Transform it! What about the Spirit Pills I gave you? I’ll give you Spiritual Qi!" Wang Wu found it unbelievable; over these past days, he had given at least thirty Level 3 Spiritual Energy Practice Pills, yet now General Xuelang said there was no Gale Spiritual Qi!
"Stop the nonsense, training Gale Spiritual Qi isn’t easy, how could it replenish so fast? What exactly went wrong, and why didn’t I perceive the danger coming?"
"Damn, where’s your Heart of the Earth?"
"What Heart of the Earth, I’m not a bear!"
"Go, go, go!"
In an instant, Wang Wu unleashed Demon Wind to escape, but just at this mont, the Demon Wind died down, and he froze on the spot, because a small pale fla was flickering on the sea’s surface.
At this mont, Wang Wu was so shocked that his scalp tingled. He held General Xuelang down with a firm grip to prevent any attempt to run—how dare they run?
And soon, General Xuelang also noticed that tiny pale fla, feeling puzzled until Wang Wu whispered two words in its ear, which nearly made its legs give way in fright.
Indeed, that wisp of pale fire was unmistakably the Yin Fire, one of the Three Calamities!
"What’s going on? It was fine yesterday; how did this wisp of Yin Fire suddenly appear?"
Wang Wu regretted deeply; if only he had left overnight yesterday. Just what is the origin of Snake Island, for a single teleportation to attract this Yin Fire?
No, it wasn’t attracted; it seed more like it was leaked out during the teleportation.
"What do we do?" General Xuelang whispered. Right now, it thought Xiong Wu really had a bit of bad luck; now look what happened, even the Three Calamities have erged.
"We’ll bypass it, but it’s best not to activate Qi Blood or unleash any Demon Techniques."
Wang Wu stared at that pale fla, even though they were still about three thousand ters apart, he felt very unsafe.
And at this mont on the sea, there wasn’t even a single sea bird visible—oh no, there it was, a sea bird was flying in, seeming completely unaware of the danger. In fact, even General Xuelang couldn’t sense any danger from this pale fla.
It got closer and closer, even the linear distance was less than a hundred ters now.
Wang Wu and General Xuelang held their breath, watching as the sea bird flew happily past that pale fla unhard.
Phew, really that’s good news, if nothing happened at a hundred ters, then maintaining nearly three thousand ters should be safer...
Whoosh!
A gust of wind blew, and just fifty ters away, the sea bird was still flapping its wings, and then completely turned to ash, scattered away.
"Don’t move, don’t run! Let’s just behave as if we don’t exist."
Wang Wu held tightly to General Xuelang.
It truly wanted to run, and was really frightened, because that gust of wind, that pale fla was drifting toward their location.
"Xiong Wu, we have to take a gamble; we are still very far away, we should be able to escape. Look, everything is normal around the water, look over there at that Sea Demon—"
Before General Xuelang finished speaking, that Sea Demon about ten kiloters away suddenly turned to dust and scattered.
It had only swum tens of ters away, completely unaware of the pale fla’s existence, and saw nothing, yet it was still reduced to ashes.
"So, staying still ans nothing will happen?"
General Xuelang’s voice had changed; such strangeness it hadn’t encountered in five hundred years, no, it hadn’t even heard of it, only heard of the Three Calamities.
At this mont, Wang Wu remained silent, his gaze fixed on that pale fla, a bold idea gradually forming in his mind.
After all, compared to General Xuelang, he seed more like a well-inford Great Demon.
But this Yin Fire seed a bit more terrifying than Evil Wind.
Who knows if he could withstand it?
"You stay here and don’t move." Wang Wu suddenly spoke.
"What? Xiong Wu, don’t be impulsive. Until the last mont, don’t act rashly. Maybe there’s another way!" General Xuelang grasped Wang Wu tightly, a pleading look in its eyes.
Wang Wu looked down at its face, pale from tension, and intentionally gave a relaxed smile.
"Perhaps, I’m the way out. I thought of a thod, but I don’t know if it will work. In case... don’t mourn for , the world is vast, roam freely."
Saying this, Wang Wu gently and forcibly unclasped General Xuelang’s hand and handed over the small tripod.
"I’ll hold it off, you go. If one day you et a human woman nad Yu Jinyan, give this thing back to her. Of course, it’s fine if you don’t, after all, in the vast sea of people, it’s not easy to et anyone."
Upon hearing this, General Xuelang actually pushed the small tripod back and quickly said:
"Don’t say this to , save it for your sweetheart, but Xiong Wu, I know you have so peculiar ans, that’s normal, I won’t stop you from going. But take my Third Grade Tyrant Demon Pill with you."
"If anything happens, use my Demon Pill first. This way, I won’t die, and you’ll have a greater chance of survival."
"We all need to live, even if not to be so extraordinary hero, just surviving is enough."
