"Can't detect it? What is it?"
The voice was eerie and shrill, as if ford by the screams of countless people, rging together and rolling outwards.
The source of the voice seed very annoyed, bellowed loudly, and the river waters surged like overturning seas, with colossal waves reaching the sky.
——
Xiang Beifei had left the land of Hanxia Kingdom and continued heading north. With his current strength at the Heavenly Connection realm, his speed of travel had increased by dozens of tis! After traveling continuously for ten days, he still hadn't reached Wu Hou.
As they passed a series of hills, a desolate beast in the late stages of God Refining, a aty rat, attacked them. Erha barked loudly, grabbed it, and wanted to cook it.
Xiang Beifei had no objection and stopped to rest.
He observed the chubby rat, its short hands entwined as if it were very shy, its tearful little eyes blinking nonstop, its fur very smooth. At first glance, it appeared harmless and even emitted whining sounds, endearing itself to anyone.
"This at rat's cry is crisp and tender, and it looks so cute... Let's braise it!" Xiang Beifei said, stroking his chin.
"Woof!" Xiaohei nodded excitedly.
Though the at rat looked cute, it was fiercely aggressive when it had attacked them, with fangs that could grow more than ten ters long, showing no rcy as it lunged at them, even gnawing on rocks.
Most importantly, the watery big eyes weren't just for show; they emitted a very strong bewildering power, directly leading people into an illusion. Those with weak spiritual power would be directly consud by its Illusion Technique.
Unfortunately, it had bad luck in choosing its opponent.
"Awoo!"
Erha was also very happy, urging Xiang Beifei to bring out the skeletons' fire seeds. These flas were precious seasonings for Erha; it rembered each type of fla ingredient very clearly.
"We still need to detoxify it," Xiang Beifei said calmly.
This cute desolate beast was covered in various toxins, not so easily neutralizable. Despite its slick fur, each hair was filled with toxins, and every piece of its flesh was highly poisonous.
But this was no challenge for Xiang Beifei; his eyes flickered slightly, quickly seeing the rat in black and white lines.
Xiang Beifei snapped his fingers!
Burning Yin!
Hum!
The at rat hadn't even had ti to react before the toxins ignited, instantly turning to nothing. The at rat's Yin and Yang imbalance also resulted in its imdiate death.
"All right, it's edible now, but take it easy, its at is now full of Yang, which can cause heatiness," Xiang Beifei said while controlling the skeletons' fire seeds, taking out a deep red fla, and started roasting the at rat. It had to be said that the braised at rat tasted very delicious, sowhat reminiscent of fried sauce noodles.
He didn't recognize what kind of desolate beast it was; up until now, most of the desolate beasts he had co across were unknown to him. All he could do was record them and then na them.
"It's plump, and tastes like fried sauce noodles, so let's call it Fried Sauce Rat!" Xiang Beifei was very satisfied with this na.
However, while they were eating, a sudden rustling sound ca from the woods, a gust of wind blew, and a figure appeared at the edge of the tree.
Xiang Beifei frowned slightly, raised his head to look, his gaze flickered slightly.
It was actually a person!
A sprightly girl, no more than eighteen or nineteen years old, roughly his age, wearing a clean white fragnted skirt, her skin fair, eyes large and bright, giving a clear impression.
In this deep frontier wilderness, a place scarcely populated by people, the sight of her made Xiang Beifei's first reaction think of the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage!
After all, any human appearance in this area couldn't be unconnected with the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage.
But Xiang Beifei was quickly astonished.
Because there was no trace of the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage on this person, nor the pure and holy appearance typical of the Moon God Race.
She was just a person!
"Could it be so other Yi Tribe?" Xiang Beifei pondered.
Daoist Qingyang had ntioned that humans were the most suitable creatures for cultivation in this world. All beings wishing to cultivate would evolve towards the human appearance because the human structure was conducive to pursuing the Dao.
This world definitely had more than just the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage and the Moon God Race; there should be other races.
But before Xiang Beifei had ti to speak, the girl spoke first.
"Hello," the girl said.
Xiang Beifei frowned slightly; this creature also spoke human language.
But then, both the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage and the Moon God Race spoke human language.
Untrustworthy.
"I don't know you," Xiang Beifei said.
"Oh right," the girl chuckled lightly, "It's impolite of ; my na is Li Qianluo. Are you a friend from the Congji Abyss?"
The Congji Abyss?
That place again.
Xiang Beifei frowned, unable to determine exactly what the girl's background might be, and after pondering for a mont, he replied, "Yes."
"Great!" Li Qianluo seed very pleased, "My family said I would recognize the aura on you without mistake."
After a while, she asked again, "Are you also going to the Desert Stone Cave at Bone Mountain?"
Xiang Beifei was quite astonished!
The Desert Stone Cave at Bone Mountain?
This was a term that appeared in his grandfather's system interface, but what place was it?
Xiang Beifei observed the girl nad Li Qianluo, disguising his emotions as he said, "Yes."
"That's great, it's on the way." Li Qianluo showed a relieved smile, "This wilderness is too vast. I was just confirming the direction when I caught a scent and followed it here."
Her gaze settled on the rat at in Xiang Beifei's hand, gradually lighting up.
Xiang Beifei was rather surprised: "You can sll this?"
"It's so fragrant, how could I not sll it?" Li Qianluo sniffed gently, seemingly entranced by the aroma of the Fried Sauce Rat, and enviously said, "It drifted over from ten miles away!"
But this only made Xiang Beifei even more astonished.
To avoid attracting unnecessary desolate beasts and causing trouble for himself, he had specifically masked the scent of the Fried Sauce Rat while cooking it; it should have been impossible to emit any sll, so how did this girl discover it?
Xiang Beifei looked at Li Qianluo, and in his eyes, her entire being seed to be shrouded in a black-and-white aura.
A very strong aura!
That was Xiang Beifei's first thought.
"May I try a bit? I'll trade you so Jade Flower Wine for it."
Li Qianluo pulled out a green gourd from nowhere, shook the gourd in her hand, and said, "at should co with wine, right?"
"I don't know you," Xiang Beifei calmly stated, "I don't trust strangers."
Li Qianluo clapped her hands as if she rembered sothing, cautiously said, "Right, right, right! My family also tells this, I almost forgot, you are a stranger too."
She seed to have just rembered this fact.
How could she seem like soone naïve without worldly experience?
A relative of Erha?
Xiang Beifei glanced at Erha lying beside him, gnawing on the Fried Sauce Rat; Erha, oblivious to Xiang Beifei's thoughts, casually scrutinized Li Qianluo while chewing.
Li Qianluo thought for a mont and then said, "Wait a mont."
She suddenly turned and ran away, disappearing instantly.
What speed!
Xiang Beifei was quite astonished in his eyes.
This girl was no ordinary being!
But in this remote wilderness, how could there be soone so formidable?
Xiang Beifei didn't have to wait long, just about three minutes, before Li Qianluo ca rushing back, suddenly appearing with a loud "Boom," dragging a Fried Sauce Rat along.
She had actually gone out of her way to catch a Fried Sauce Rat!
"Can I ask how you cooked this Ladi Rat? I'd like to learn, so I won't have to eat your food. I an no harm, really," Li Qianluo assured.
Her term for the beast differed from Xiang Beifei's.
Xiang Beifei was silent for a mont and then said, "Fine."
He knew that ever since he had arrived in the outer wilderness, he had hardly encountered any real people.
eting soone here—not to ntion soone whose realm and cultivation were not weaker than his own—was a rare event.
Especially since this girl seed to be heading to the Desert Stone Cave at Bone Mountain.
That place whose location was unknown.
