Of course, even so, the speed of the spirit bird was not that slow. After all, even if it only used 10% of its speed, it was already much faster than when it went all out. In less than half an hour, the human and the bird had explored a much larger area than the previous two days combined.
"Stop, there seems to be something in front!" The ghost thing suddenly said.
"Really?!" Lin Yi was shocked and hurriedly stopped the spirit bird. He was nervous and excited. After being silent and bored for more than two days, the fear at the beginning had long been replaced by excitement. Now, he could not wait to encounter something.
"Of course it's true, but it's too far away now. Even with my Divine Sense, I can only vaguely sense the existence of something, and I'm sure it's alive. However, I don't know whether it's a spirit beast or a human cultivator." The ghost thing muttered.
"Ah? Why is there a human cultivator in this place? " Lin Yi was stunned. Subconsciously, if there was something in this place, it must be a spirit beast, such as the dragon mentioned before. Why would a human cultivator appear here inexplicably …
"Hey! What right do you have to say that? Aren't you a living human cultivator yourself? " The ghost thing snorted and curled its lips. "Although I said that a freak like you who has all five elements is hard to find in this world, there's always someone better than you. It's not surprising to see one or two of you."
"Well, it's not impossible. Then, Senior, quickly check carefully. Is it a spirit beast or a human cultivator?" Lin Yi could only pinch his nose and smile bitterly.
"That's easy. Let the spirit bird move a little closer, but not too close. It's best if I can detect it and it can't detect me," the ghost thing instructed. It was very confident in its Divine Sense. Even if the other party was really a dragon, it could not detect further than him. Therefore, as long as he controlled the distance, it was not difficult to achieve this.
"Okay." Lin Yi immediately let the spirit bird move forward, but this time, it was much slower. He was practically inching forward bit by bit. Otherwise, if he inched too much, he might be noticed by the other party.
This went on for a while. Lin Yi and the spirit bird, who weren't too nervous at first, were startled by this strange atmosphere. It didn't matter if it was humans or spirit beasts, they were afraid of the unknown. If it was a dragon in front of them, they wouldn't be so nervous.
After a while, the ghostly thing suddenly made a sound of surprise. Lin Yi's nerves tightened and he quickly asked, "What's wrong?"
"It's really strange. Why does this aura feel so familiar? "The ghostly thing muttered in surprise.
"Familiar? Could it really be that Flood Dragon? " Lin Yi couldn't help but speculate. In his opinion, the only aura that could make the ghost feel familiar was the flood dragon. Previously, he thought that the so-called eyewitness reports were just people misreading the five elements' murderous aura, but he didn't expect it to be true.
"Not sure." The ghostly thing paused for a moment and said, "This feeling shouldn't be as simple as being of the same race. However, I can be sure that the other party is of the dragon race, but whether it is a flood dragon or not, I don't know."
"How can it be? Senior, you should be able to see it clearly with your Divine Sense, right? " Lin Yi asked curiously. In theory, the things that Divine Sense could perceive were much clearer than the normal five senses, so it was normal that others couldn't see it. However, whether the other party was a flood dragon or not should be known at a glance.
"Kid, you think too easily. Previously, when West Mountain Old Sect Master was chasing you, I could block his Divine Sense. On the other hand, other existences naturally have a way to block my Divine Sense perception. It's just that the difficulty is extremely high, and it's not that easy. "The ghostly thing smiled bitterly.
"In that case, Senior, your Divine Sense has been blocked by it. Could it be that it has already noticed?" Lin Yi was suddenly shocked. It was not good news to be discovered before he could figure out the other party's details.
"Not really. However, after reaching a certain level, whether it is you human cultivators or us spirit beasts, we will habitually release a Divine Sense protective cover. In this way, it can prevent other people's Divine Sense from peeping. If this Divine Sense protective cover is high enough, even with my ability, it will be difficult to penetrate it from a long distance. At most, I can only sense the general aura, but it is difficult to know the specific situation inside unless I directly break the other party's Divine Sense protective cover. However, this will alert the enemy. "The ghostly thing gave Lin Yi some common sense.
"So that's how it is. Then what should we do now?" Lin Yi asked. Listening to the ghostly thing's tone, he knew that the other party was definitely not a simple character. Maybe it was a top-level spirit beast. Provoking such an existence in this place was definitely asking for trouble. It was very likely that he would not even be able to escape.
"Kid, if you have the courage, then continue forward. I am quite interested in this guy, but I have to say the ugly words first. Even if this guy is of the same kind as the Dragon Clan, it is difficult to say whether it will buy my account or not. I may not be able to protect you, so you have to think carefully before you speak. To be safe, we will directly turn back the way we came. In any case, it can't detect us now." The ghostly thing said calmly, leaving the choice to Lin Yi.
Curiosity not only killed the cat, but it also killed people. It was impossible for Lin Yi not to understand this principle. After thinking for a moment, he decided, "Let's continue forward and see. If I don't find out what the other party is, I can't continue to stay in this place with peace of mind. After all, the most important thing in cultivation is to be impatient. If I don't solve this problem, I will have to give up this rare cultivation treasure land. So, no matter what, I have to try."
"Tsk tsk, it's good that you have this awareness. I thought you would be a tortoise hiding in its shell. Oh, no, it should be an ostrich that buries its head in the sand!" The ghostly thing laughed.
"Ostrich …" Lin Yi was instantly speechless. He could not help but secretly criticize the ghostly thing in his heart. This guy went to the secular world, but he did not find the bloodline of the King of Spirit Beasts. Instead, he learned a bunch of new words. Even in this state, he still has the mood to learn these things. As expected, his mind is strong even if he is disabled.
After making his decision, Lin Yi immediately continued forward with the spirit bird at the same slow speed as before. Although he had already made up his mind to find out what the other party was, the ideal situation was to not let the other party detect them first. After all, this was the only way to ensure his safety.
