Chapter 178 Ivy Spirit Plant
Chapter 178 Ivy Spirit Plant
Seeing that they were not afraid at all, but were discussing it with great interest, Wu Xiang became furious.
Those who saw it in the past were all afraid of and in awe of it, believing it to be some kind of divine beast.
These two humans were either trembling with fear or kneeling down to kowtow. They were not afraid of it, nor did they kneel down to it!
It roared and pounced on the two of them.
At first, Yun Zhao thought that the Five-Unlikes had extremely high combat power, after all, it looked like a combination of five demonic beasts.
But once she started using it, she realized it was just a pretty face.
Let alone the two of them attacking together, even if she were alone, no, with just one hand, she could take down the Five-Unlikes.
Yun Zhao then confidently waved his hand, signaling Qi Yan to step back.
Qi Yan understood and found a place to stand.
"Zhaozhao, don't underestimate the enemy."
Yun Zhao gave an "OK" sign.
Fu Guang drew his sword, and Yun Zhao and Wu Xiang Bu began to fight. At first, it was very aggressive, but after a few minutes, it showed its fear.
While fighting, he kept glancing around furtively, trying to find a chance to slip away.
But Qi Yan was watching it, and it couldn't find a chance to escape for a while.
After another fifteen minutes, the five-legged creature had many more wounds on its body. It was getting impatient and let out a deep roar.
But the next second, its voice turned shrill. Yun Zhao frowned. She could still tolerate this volume; it didn't seem like a sonic attack.
Could it be...
She thought the five-legged creature was about to unleash a powerful attack, so she was on high alert. However, it seemed to have just let out a shout as if to vent its frustration, and nothing else happened.
Yun Zhao: "..."
She wielded the spirit sword like a hammer, slamming it onto its forehead. "You little devil!"
Caught off guard, the five-legged creature was hit so hard it was dizzy and howled in pain.
Yun Zhao got tired of playing with it and planned to capture it in one move so he could continue searching for the sealing formation.
She thrust her sword forward, but the spirit sword missed the five-legged creature and was instead entangled by a vine.
Yun Zhao looked over and saw a Virginia creeper vine extending from the yard. She chopped the vine off with her backhand and took two steps back.
Qi Yan came to her side. "Zhao Zhao, this is a spiritual plant with a high cultivation level. This is its territory, so be careful."
I didn't detect any sentience in the ivy just now; its sentience may have left. The five-faced creature was calling to it just now.
As expected, the five-legged creature swept away its previous dejected state and became arrogant.
The ivy, working in tandem with it, charged towards Yun Zhao and Qi Yan.
Just as they were about to engage the enemy, they saw vines wrap around the five-legged creature and burrow into the ground together.
Yun Zhao: "..."
Qi Yan: "..."
Yun Zhao was at a loss for words. "So, they weren't trying to fight us just now, but rather using a feint to find a chance to escape?"
“It seems so,” Qi Yan said helplessly. “This is the first time I’ve ever seen a spiritual plant with such a high level of cultivation. It has probably been cultivating for ten thousand years.”
It takes a long time for a spiritual plant to develop intelligence before it can cultivate spiritual consciousness. It seems that this ivy cherishes its cultivation results and is unwilling to take risks.
In the blink of an eye, the ivy and the five-legged creature ran away, fortunately their destination wasn't them.
The two went back into the house, which was half collapsed by the Five-Faced Beast. Qi Yan used his sword to clear away the obstacles before he could go in.
The room contained only a wooden bed and a bookshelf filled with books.
There was also a wooden table, but it was smashed to pieces.
Yun Zhao looked around, but there was no sign of any formation here.
"Ah Yan, could there be a secret room? Let's look for it."
"Okay, Zhao Zhao, you look over there, I'll look over here."
The two had a clear division of labor, each responsible for half, but after searching for a long time and searching the house twice, they still couldn't find any clues.
Yun Zhao said with a bitter face, "If only Grandfather could go back, but unfortunately, Uncle doesn't know where Grandfather is now."
If Yunyi were in the sect, they could have just come with him. Why would they have to search so hard here?
When asked about the spirit of extinction, she didn't know either, only that it was in this room, and that was all she knew.
Qi Yan said to go look again. Yun Zhao idly rummaged through the things in the house with his sword. Fu Guang and Yin Xue also came out and played with the fallen thatch from the roof.
Tired of standing, Yun Zhao looked around and saw a perfectly intact stool. She picked it up casually and was about to sit down when she noticed something strange under the stool.
To prevent herself from getting separated from Qi Yan, she asked Qi Yan to come over so that the two of them could check the situation together.
"It seems to be the trace of an array, but it's just a low-level concealment array."
Qi Yan broke it casually, and before he could look at it again, a suction force appeared, and before the two of them could react, they disappeared from the room.
Fuguang and Yinxue, who were playing and frolicking, were suddenly stunned. They pounced on them at the same time, barking anxiously.
No, why did you leave us behind?
When Yun Zhao opened his eyes again, he found himself in a desolate place. The sky was gray and there wasn't even a blade of grass on the ground, only some pebbles scattered around.
"Ayan, could this be the place where the aura of extinction is suppressed? It does resemble the forbidden area of the Song family."
“It’s more than just similar,” Qi Yan looked around and frowned, “it’s practically identical… no, it’s the Song family’s forbidden area!”
He pointed to a mark on the ground and said, "Zhaozhao, this was made when we first entered the Song family's forbidden area."
Yun Zhao took a look and confirmed it was true.
"Hiss, does Grandfather know that the place where the Qi of Extinction is suppressed is a forbidden area of the Song family? No, this might not be the place where the Qi of Extinction is suppressed. Never mind, let's look for it first."
The passage between the cultivation world and the demon world is here. Yun Zhao went to take a look and became even more certain that this was the forbidden area of the Song family.
After searching around, it seemed there was nothing here; it was boundless and gray.
Yun Zhao was tired, so he took out a chair and sat down to rest. "Ayan, let's rest for a while and continue searching later. By the way, Fuguang and Yinxue are still outside. Let's search again later. If we can't find them, we'll try to get out first. If we keep going on for too long, they'll get anxious."
The two little guys were indeed anxious, but not for their owner; they were anxious to escape.
After Yun Zhao and Qi Yan disappeared, they were only anxious for a moment before guessing that their master had been teleported to another place and would return in a while.
So they continued playing.
But just as they were tired from playing and about to rest for a while, a sword came straight at them, which they barely managed to dodge.
Then, a man in black robes appeared and fought with them.
Fu Guang and Yin Xue were sword spirits after all. Knowing they couldn't defeat the man in black robes, they found an opportunity to escape. However, the man in black robes pursued them relentlessly, as if they were enemies.
The two little ones ran and talked, finally concluding that it was their master's enemy who had taken revenge on them, the two weak sword spirits.
Just, outrageous!
If you're so capable, go find the person in charge. Why are you bothering with these two?
No matter what they thought, the man in black robes continued to pursue them relentlessly, getting closer and closer.
