Chapter 944: 941 Chapter 944: 941 Just as Bai Xiaotian and Yuan Qiu were utterly confused, the giant red flower in front of them suddenly lit up with a layer of bright red light, which spread up from the body of the flower like a layer of luminous water liquid, surging toward the surroundings.
Wherever it passed, the ground shimred and ring-shaped charm patterns rose from the ground, continuously expanding outwards and within a mont, they had already spread out to a thousand feet away.
As a blinding red light flashed, Shen Luo and the others subconsciously closed their eyes.
When they lifted their eyelids again, the scenery around them had changed, and they were already in another Heaven and Earth.
Shen Luo’s eyebrows furrowed slightly as his gaze swept around, and he soon realized that the giant red flower had completely disappeared, but the ancient trees around them, covered in vines, had beco even more luxuriant.
And through the gaps in the dense ancient trees, Shen Luo could see at a glance a mountain village shrouded in cooking smoke and White Fog nestled among the mountain forest ahead.
“Shen Luo, how did you do that?” After staring blankly for a while, Bai Xiaotian couldn’t help but step forward and ask.
Yuan Qiu also looked over with a puzzled face.
The way Shen Luo had just unlocked the prohibition on the giant flower clearly wasn’t any sort of prohibition-breaking technique; it rather seed like he knew the thod to open this prohibition, but if he had known all along, why didn’t he do that from the beginning?
“This… I’ve read so miscellaneous books on normal days and tried a thod recorded within, and surprisingly it worked.” Shen Luo said with an awkward laugh, casually playing it off.
Of course, he couldn’t tell those two that he had gone to the Heavenly Book Space to seek teachings from Yuan Daoist and had learned this thod.
Upon hearing this, Bai Xiaotian couldn’t help but roll his eyes, clearly disbelieving, while Yuan Qiu shrank his neck and tactfully turned his head to one side.
“Alright, no need to ponder over it anymore. If nothing goes wrong, that village over there should be Daughter Village,” Shen Luo said.
“Mysterious as always, fine, let’s go,” Bai Xiaotian said, seeing that he didn’t want to explain, and did not pursue the matter further.
The three of them then made their way through the grove, and soon arrived in front of the village.
Upon closer inspection, Shen Luo and the others realized that the village was actually enveloped in a semi-transparent array light shield, like a huge bowl turned upside down over the mountain forest.
Inside the array, the houses in the village were generally low, with the tallest having only two stories, and the rooftops were all covered with thick green turf; the Wall Side also mostly nestled with various kinds of flowering trees, looking quite idyllic and pastoral.
Many houses had chimneys of varying heights, and at this mont, there were threads of smoke rising from them, looking very peaceful and serene.
“One array isn’t enough, so there’s another layer?” Shen Luo frowned and said.
“Master, this array is closely connected to their living village and likely won’t be fiercely toxic. Let try with the Yuan-Devouring Gu again,” Yuan Qiu volunteered.
“Forget it, since we’ve co this far, we might as well find the main entrance and pay a visit,” Bai Xiaotian said.
Shen Luo was hesitating when he suddenly heard an angry shout: “Hey! Brazen thieves, you dare to co to our Daughter Village?”
As soon as the voice fell, a woman dressed in tight black clothes had already charged over from one side of the mountain forest.
This young woman had delicate features and an extrely slender figure, with the black clothes outlining her perfect curves vividly, although her overall skin tone was dark, not as fair and clear as ordinary won.
“Ah, girl, we are not any kind of thieves…” Bai Xiaotian started to explain hurriedly when he saw this.
However, before he could finish, the woman had already taken a short bow from her waist, strung it with an arrow, and with a “whoosh,” shot it straight at his chest.
“`
The short arrow was incredibly ferocious, its shaft wrapped in a layer of faintly visible green qi flow that ripped through the Void, emitting a long, piercing whistling sound as it rapidly closed in on Bai Xiaotian’s chest.
“Vajra Body Protection!” Bai Xiaotian bellowed.
While retreating explosively backward, a surge of golden light erupted from his body, condensing into a large golden bell that enveloped him.
Only then did he notice that the arrowhead was not tipped with iron but bound with a beast tooth from so creature, its tip flickering with a light green gloss, clearly containing so kind of potent poison.
A “Dong” sound of a bell rang out.
The arrow, ultimately faster, caught up to Bai Xiaotian in an instant, making his golden bell violently tremble.
Bai Xiaotian let out a muffled grunt, his heel slamd down hard on the ground, and after a brief gathering of strength, he ceased retreating. Instead, he puffed out his chest and lunged forward, releasing a Buddhist Lion’s Roar from his mouth.
“Roar…”
With this roar, the golden light of the bell covering him surged, instantly resisting the arrow, and then with a “bang,” it shattered the arrow.
As the arrow broke apart, the golden light surrounding Bai Xiaotian gradually dissipated.
“You woman, how unreasonable, why do you attack without listening to others?” Bai Xiaotian said sowhat angrily.
“Hmph! There’s nothing to discuss with you thieves, take another arrow,” the girl still appeared full of murderous intent. Once again, she bent her bow and aid at Bai Xiaotian.
Unlike the previous hasty shot, this ti the girl had been gathering strength for quite a while. Behind her, a dark green floral shadow erged, at first blooming as large as a millstone, but soon shrinking into a streak of light, converging into the arrow.
The once ordinary-looking arrow, upon the influx of this flowery shadow, imdiately revealed a layer of dark green charm patterns on the shaft, followed by green light condensing on the arrowhead, enveloping it completely.
The girl’s mouth twitched into a cold sneer, and then she released the string of her drawn bow.
However, at this mont, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air beside the girl and reached out to slap her bow-holding wrist. It was Shen Luo.
The girl only felt a great force strike her, and her arm, as stable as Mount Tai, couldn’t help but tremble. The just-released arrow was also deflected off its original trajectory, shooting out rapidly.
Bai Xiaotian saw the incoming arrow and simply titled his head slightly, easily dodging it.
The arrow shot through the air and struck a towering ancient tree behind it.
The ancient tree exploded in the middle imdiately after being hit, and “bang” sounds continued without cease as a dozen trees, large enough for several people to embrace, were pierced through by the arrow.
In the end, the arrow embedded itself into an exposed rock on the ground, the arrowhead and half of the shaft sinking deep into it.
But then, the entire rock was perated by a layer of dark green aura, rapidly corroding and crumbling apart completely.
Seeing her wrist seized by Shen Luo, the girl drew an arrow from behind her back with her other hand and stabbed it towards his right eye.
Shen Luo knew that the arrow was clearly poisoned and that it would be unwise to grab it with his hands, so he imdiately scattered the “Moonlight” beneath his feet and used “Slanting Moon Steps” to dodge away.
“Girl, we really an no harm, please stop being so aggressive,” Shen Luo shouted loudly after steadying himself.
