บท 341: Chapter 341: What the Heck is This Thing?
"Huh?" Lin Fan came to his senses, curious. Just a moment ago, there were so many people around, but in the blink of an eye, they had all vanished.
However, he wasn't concerned about this.
Seeing Old Zhang and Little Bao recover, a happy smile spread across his face.
As long as they were alright, everything was alright.
"Were we just trapped in an illusion?" Elder Wu of the Wu Clan asked.
He possessed the highest cultivation level here, apart from Lin Fan.
Wu Sheng and the others were completely bewildered. They truly hadn't felt a thing. They had been in a daze, like walking corpses, unable to remember anything.
Sun Xiao looked at his phone and saw the barrage of comments exploding in his livestream, exclaiming, "The viewers in my livestream said we were just standing there foolishly, not moving at all, as if we were possessed."
These words sent a chill down Wu Sheng and the others' spines.
Being pulled into an illusion without any awareness, without any memory, was far too terrifying.
Elder Wu said, "I seem to remember Buddhist scriptures echoing in my ears."
"Strange, a cultivation technique appeared in my mind," the one-eyed man said in a low voice. His words immediately caught Elder Wu's attention.
"What?" Elder Wu asked in surprise.
Damn it!
This was a bit discriminatory.
I didn't get anything, how did you manage to get something? Are you more handsome than me, or is your strength greater than mine?
"Didn't you get anything?" the one-eyed man asked.
Elder Wu thought for a moment. To say he hadn't received anything would be too embarrassing. No matter what, as a Starry Sky realm expert, how could he lose to this guy? He had to win.
"I did, but what did you receive?"
He was subtly inquiring, temporarily withholding what he himself had received. Even if he wanted to say something, he didn't know what to say. He had received nothing, not even a single hair.
Instead, his ears were ringing, a chaotic mess, as if he had seen a ghost.
The one-eyed man pondered, recalling, "It seems to be called the Luohan Dharma Body, but I only have half the memory, as if it was cut off midway."
Hearing the words 'Luohan,' Elder Wu was startled. It was actually a Luohan level Dharma Body. Among the great clans of the Starry Sky realm, there was indeed such a clan.
And their Dharma Bodies were quite unique.
To cultivate it, one must have wisdom roots.
What were wisdom roots?
Even now, he didn't quite understand.
He had asked before.
His question was about wisdom roots.
But the answer he received was a knowing smile and silence. The meaning was clear: you're wrong, talent is talent, wisdom roots are wisdom roots. The specifics were a headache-inducing mystery.
"This is a tremendous opportunity for you," Elder Wu said.
The one-eyed man smiled. "I can feel it. The look in your eyes is a bit off, full of envy."
"What did you say? Envy?" Elder Wu didn't want to waste words with the one-eyed man, but upon hearing this, he couldn't bear it. You could say anything else, but on this matter, you couldn't humiliate him.
The one-eyed man was feeling quite pleased.
The more the other argued, the more it showed his insecurity. He was clearly envious, yet he pretended otherwise. It was truly pointless.
He discovered that this Luohan Dharma Body was profoundly mysterious, requiring quiet contemplation and comprehension. It was definitely not like ordinary martial arts that could be easily cultivated.
Seeing that the one-eyed man wasn't continuing the conversation, Elder Wu didn't bother to press the issue. However, his gaze was drawn to the ancient bell in the distance. It was that thing that had pulled them into the illusion.
Soon, they arrived in front of the ancient bell.
Elder Wu carefully examined it, sensing a subtle aura. "Indeed, this place is somewhat peculiar. This ancient bell is quite old. We were just pulled into an illusion by this object. Does anyone remember what happened then?"
He looked at the one-eyed man.
You obtained the cultivation method, so you must know what happened.
If you know, tell us quickly. Hiding it is too sneaky.
"I don't know," the one-eyed man said.
Everyone was disappointed.
Their hopes were dashed.
"Elder Wu, is this ancient bell a valuable item?" Wu Sheng asked.
Elder Wu replied, "It's just an ordinary ancient bell. It was able to pull us into the illusion because a powerful being was once here. The residual aura formed a special ability, a kind of power beyond our comprehension."
"Could a Saint do this?" Wu Sheng asked.
Elder Wu replied, "Not even close."
He explained the situation very frankly.
The gap was that terrifying.
Wu Sheng was dumbfounded, unable to imagine how powerful the being who could create such an ability must have been. Perhaps the powerful beings who appeared here in ancient times were truly beyond their imagination. Just how glorious was that era?
As they ventured deeper, he gradually understood why all the clans of the Starry Sky yearned for this tiny planet.
It harbored earth-shattering secrets.
Suddenly, Wu Sheng realized he had stumbled upon such a terrifying secret, and he couldn't help but feel a little afraid. Would he be silenced?
The one-eyed man didn't believe what Elder Wu said and personally touched the ancient bell. He was most afraid that Elder Wu would claim it was ordinary, then secretly take it for himself.
That would be the most cunning move.
After examining it thoroughly, the one-eyed man confirmed that the ancient bell was indeed ordinary, with no research value.
Sun Xiao looked at the comments in his livestream and exclaimed, "A wealthy viewer in my livestream has offered one hundred million to buy this ancient bell."
Elder Wu and the others remained indifferent.
What? To powerful beings, money was just wastepaper. If they wanted it, they could just kick down a rich person, use their divine abilities to confuse their minds, and get as much money as they wanted.
Hearing this, Little Bao hurriedly waved his hand. "You guys carry this bell, and you," he pointed at Sun Xiao, "tell him to transfer the money directly to this card. I, Little Bao, am a man of my word."
Sun Xiao looked at Little Bao, dumbfounded.
What the heck!
Before anyone could say anything, you claimed the ancient bell for yourself. How sly!
The one-eyed man was about to say something when Little Bao cut him off. He gave the one-eyed man a resentful look. He was already so rich, yet he was still trying to compete with them. Sigh…
"Lin Fan, I just earned you one hundred million. I'll give you the card when we get back," Little Bao said.
He always thought of Lin Fan.
Although he didn't lack money, he just didn't like others taking advantage of Lin Fan. If it weren't for his good friend bringing them here, how would they have found this?
He had long noticed the one-eyed man's unusual expression. He wanted to keep it for himself, but Little Bao wouldn't give him the chance.
The wealthy viewer in the livestream recognized Little Bao and immediately transferred the money without hesitation.
If even the son of the richest man could deceive people, how dark would society have to be?
Lin Fan smiled. "I rarely use money."
Old Zhang whispered, "We owe a lot of people money."
Lin Fan, who rarely used money, fell into deep thought upon hearing this. It seemed to be true. He had always been borrowing money to live. Thinking about it, Old Zhang had a point.
"Alright, then keep it."
By now, Little Bao had received the notification from the bank. He proudly raised his head towards the one-eyed man. This provocative gesture made the one-eyed man remember this little brat.
So shrewd at such a young age, what would he become when he grew up?
If it weren't for Lin Fan's protection, he would definitely teach this kid a lesson on behalf of his father.
After this incident, Elder Wu and the others became even more cautious.
They followed behind Lin Fan, constantly observing their surroundings. For them, the danger here had already exceeded their imagination, far beyond what they could handle.
Lin Fan, as before, held Little Bao's hand, pointing at the surroundings, but he didn't notice the Evil Chicken's condition.
The Evil Chicken's mind was a bit chaotic.
Who am I?
An Evil Hero?
No…
I am a Buddha Chicken.
So uncomfortable.
The Evil Chicken's small head was about to explode. It didn't know what had happened. A voice kept echoing in its mind.
Buddhist Dharma Protector Divine Beast Chicken.
The Evil Chicken was driven mad by these voices. It was an Evil Hero, returning to its homeland covered in glorious light, to be admired by its compatriots.
Who the heck was a Dharma Protector Divine Beast?
Rustle! Rustle!
At this moment, there were sounds coming from the surroundings.
"I think I hear something," Elder Wu said.
Lin Fan smiled. "Just small animals."
Old Zhang said, "I like small animals."
"Actually, animals are delicious," Little Bao said.
Lin Fan and Old Zhang nodded in agreement.
"Yes, you have a point."
They were only a short distance from the mountain peak.
A sense of oppression weighed on their hearts.
Elder Wu and Wu Sheng exchanged glances, both understanding what to do next. Danger was always present. They hadn't reached this point because of luck, but because Lin Fan was truly powerful, escorting them here.
If they had come alone, they probably wouldn't have passed the first hurdle.
Then, a terrifying roar came from the distance.
"What is that?"
Everyone held their breath, not daring to speak loudly.
Sun Xiao held his phone, and the comments in his livestream exploded.
"Holy crap! What is that over there?"
"A dark thing, shrouded in black mist, so scary."
In the distance, a figure roared eerily, rising into the air and approaching them. Looking closely, the figure had disheveled hair, and its robes were tattered and worn, emitting a foul odor.
The appearance of this mysterious figure instantly made everyone tense.
"Such terrifying baleful aura."
The one-eyed man frowned. He had never felt such intense baleful aura. When he saw the figure's face, he was completely stunned.
"A Jiangshi?"
This was a creature recorded in ancient strange tales. No one took it seriously, but now it appeared before their eyes. It had to be said, the shock was quite significant.
In the livestream:
"Holy crap! It looks so ugly, with a cracked and distorted face."
"This is a Flying Jiangshi, very scary."
"How do you know it's a Flying Jiangshi?"
"It just flew over, so it must be a Flying Jiangshi."
"Damn!"
As the people in the livestream were heatedly discussing, the Jiangshi floating in the air roared, opening its mouth as if sucking something in.
Then, an extremely strong suction force came.
"Not good."
"It's sucking our blood from afar."
Elder Wu exclaimed and quickly formed a protective barrier, blocking the suction force.
However, they underestimated the range of the Jiangshi's suction. Cries of animals came from afar, and then they were horrified to discover that a large amount of blood, condensed into a mass, was sweeping in from all directions, being sucked into the Jiangshi's mouth and nose.
Such a terrifying scene truly frightened many people.
