When Su Ming looked at the thin man's statue of the God of Shamans at such a close distance, he could clearly see that the giant had black fur and was dressed in coarse beast skins. A primitive and barbaric presence came crashing into his face.
An old man in black robes was sitting cross-legged and meditating on its messy head. That black robe covered his face, so his face could not be seen. However, with just one glance, Su Ming could tell that the old man was his Master!
However, his Master's robes were black in the statue of the God of Shamans this time. It was different from before, and this made a thought appear in Su Ming's heart.
At the same time, veins popped up on the thin man's body. He let out a roar, and immediately, the illusion of the giant behind him lifted its gigantic right hand, clenched its fist, and hurled a punch towards Su Ming.
Almost at the instant the fist closed in on him, Su Ming took a step forward. The instant their fists collided, Su Ming disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already on top of the illusory giant's head, right beside the black-robed Tian Xie Zi.
The familiar presence and the familiar feeling made Su Ming forget where he was at that moment. He looked at the old man, and even if it was just an illusion, it was still a sight that he cherished even more.
'Master …' In silence, Su Ming bowed towards the black-robed old man sitting cross-legged on the giant's head.
But before he could finish bowing, the thin man roared again, and a totem quickly appeared on his forehead. It was the image of a mountain.
It was a picture of a mountain. Once that picture appeared, a sharp presence instantly erupted from his body and charged towards Su Ming. From the distance, it looked as if he had turned into the tip of a mountain and was using his body to ram into Su Ming.
Su Ming frowned. As he turned around, he lifted his right hand. Just as he was about to strike the thin man, he suddenly saw the picture at the center of his brows. When he looked at it, Su Ming's heart trembled, and he withdrew most of his power from the palm he was about to strike.
A loud bang shot into the air. Su Ming did not move, but the thin man coughed up blood and tumbled backwards. When he looked at Su Ming, there was a hint of puzzlement in his eyes. As he retreated swiftly, five wisps of black smoke spread out from the fingers of his right hand. Once they changed several times as if he was forming a seal, he pointed at the skeleton in the distance where he had been previously.
Immediately, the skeleton shuddered. Dark flames lit up in the broken skull. As the body trembled, it lifted the skull. At the same time, the dark flames spread out and connected the entire skeleton to form a skeletal beast standing in the galaxy.
This was a skeletal beast that had wings when it was alive. Once it stood up, a pair of bone wings spread open on both sides of its body. It charged forward, and with a speed that was akin to the span of a breath, it instantly appeared beneath the thin man. Once it picked him up, it charged into Divine Essence Star Ocean into the distance.
Su Ming stood there in a daze. The picture at the center of the thin man's brows appeared in his mind. That mountain was incredibly familiar. It was … the ninth summit!
Su Ming found it difficult to quell the excitement in his heart. If he had some guesses when he saw his Master just now, then when he saw the ninth summit, he was incredibly certain that his Master … had definitely been here before. In fact, he had been here for a very long time, or else it would have been impossible for him to have transformed into a tribe!
And there was a high possibility that his Master … was still in Divine Essence Star Ocean!
When he thought of this, a glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes, and he instantly moved forward. The bald crane and the Abyss Dragon had run to the bones in the area to search through them while Su Ming was fighting against the thin man. When they saw Su Ming leaving into the distance, they quickly followed behind him.
The Duke of Crimson Flame's shift was used by Su Ming at that moment. With one move, he disappeared, and when he reappeared, he was already far away. He could see the thin man standing on the skeletal beast not too far away, glaring at him.
"If I wanted to kill you, I wouldn't have let you run so far away. I have three questions. If you answer them, then I will set you free," Su Ming said calmly.
Hesitation appeared on the thin man's face. He opened his mouth, but just as he was about to speak, his expression suddenly changed drastically. A vortex suddenly appeared in the galaxy behind him, and like a gaping mouth, it swallowed the skeletal beast along with his body.
This scene happened too suddenly. Su Ming's eyes focused, but soon, his expression calmed down. He did not show any signs of wanting to move forward, but instead sat down cross-legged in the galaxy with an indifferent expression on his face.
Days passed. Three days, five days, seven days … When half a month went by, Su Ming remained seated.
There was not a hint of impatience on his face. During that half a month, the area around him was quiet. Su Ming did not see any ferocious beasts or alien races from Divine Essence Star Ocean passing by.
When another three days went by, a ray of red light suddenly appeared at the spot where the thin man and the skeletal beast had been devoured half a month ago, and it instantly charged into the distance.
That red light naturally belonged to the thin man. At that moment, his body was surrounded by blood fog, and his expression was incredibly dark. There was also anger on his face. In fact, there was even a faint black line on his face.
Su Ming smiled faintly and stood up. With a step forward, he continued chasing after the thin man.
The thin man was an extraordinary schemer. It did not matter whether it was his act of attacking first, leaving the skeletal beast behind, or his act of being devoured half a month ago, all of them showed just how cunning he was.
However … in Su Ming's eyes, all of this was like a child playing around. He could see everything clearly with just one glance. This was Divine Essence Star Ocean, the thin man's homeland. He might not know everything about this place, but he definitely knew quite a lot about it.
Besides, the direction in which he fled was not Su Ming's, but the man's own choice. He had also left the skeletal beast behind to flee, so he had enough time to choose his path. That was why there was an eight-tenths of a chance that his disappearance and being devoured had been a trick!
Besides, the terror on the man's face might have seemed real, but in Su Ming's eyes, which had a lot of experience, he could still find some clues. If he thought about it carefully, he would be able to guess the truth.
That was why Su Ming was not in a hurry. He was certain that the man would not be able to hide for too long. After all …
As Su Ming smiled faintly, he spoke calmly.
"If you don't heal your poison soon, it will only become worse."
When Su Ming's voice landed in the escaping thin man's ears, his expression changed, but he gritted his teeth and did not turn his head back. His blood escape became even faster.
Su Ming frowned and shifted. In an instant, he appeared several hundreds of feet behind the man. Just as he was about to shift again, his pupils suddenly shrank. A strong sense of danger instantly enveloped his heart, and that danger came from the space before him.
When he looked over, the space there was calm. There was nothing strange about it. In fact, there was nothing there, be it shattered stones or dust. However, the strong sense of danger told Su Ming that there was a murderous aura hidden in the calmness that could threaten him.
At that moment, a voice that sounded like an old man's mumbling echoed in the galaxy. At the instant it appeared, the thin man's footsteps came to a sudden halt. His face instantly turned pale, and without any hesitation, he started retreating, but suddenly, an endless amount of ripples appeared out of nowhere beside the man.
Those ripples covered an area of several hundreds of thousands of feet. As they spread out, they immediately formed the outline of a gigantic fish in the galaxy.
That fish had nine sharp spikes, and its true form could not be seen. Su Ming could only tell its general shape from the ripples. If he looked at it from a close distance, he might not be able to see it clearly, but if he looked from the distance, since there was not a single ripple in the galaxy around him, the area where the ripples had appeared became incredibly clear.
It was a gigantic ferocious beast hidden in space.
At that moment, the thin man was right next to the ferocious beast's mouth. Su Ming saw with his own eyes that the ferocious beast seemed to have opened its mouth as the ripples spread out violently. The scene from half a month ago appeared before Su Ming's eyes with an astonishing degree of similarity.
The thin man's eyes were bloodshot. He retreated madly, but his body started slowing down right before his eyes, as if there was a wave of power gathering on his body to interfere with his movements, causing his movements to become much slower than usual.
Without any hesitation, Su Ming took a step forward and shifted. At the instant the ferocious beast was about to devour the thin man, he appeared beside him.
He grabbed the thin man's shoulder, and with a solemn expression, he retreated swiftly. However, at the instant he moved back, he immediately felt as if his body was rotting away. It was as if there were countless threads he could not see surrounding him, causing his speed to instantly become incredibly slow.
When Su Ming saw that he was in danger and that the ferocious beast's mouth was about to close in on him to devour him, a glint appeared in his eyes. He lifted his left hand and struck the center of his brows. When he opened his mouth, a ray of white light shot out.
That white light was a white jade the size of a palm. Once it flew out, it immediately swelled up in front of Su Ming.
"Peace Arrives When the Elephant is Here!" Su Ming let out a low shout, and countless runic symbols that rose and fell appeared around him. Each of them contained the power of his Divine Essence. They instantly flew out and fused into the white jade. Immediately, the speed at which it swelled up became several times faster than before.
"Malicious Spirit Takes Over the Elephant!"
Shockingly, a white elephant appeared out in the starry sky, accompanied by a shrill cry. A balancing scale materialized, which was held up by a gigantic evil ghost. On one side was the elephant, and on the other side was the wild beast hidden in the void. Both sides began to weigh each other.
"Three coins and seven taels of silver!" A buzzing sound came from the malicious spirit's mouth, and an enraged roar came from the ferocious beast hidden in space. Its body swiftly shrank, and a destructive power erupted from its body.
With a bang, the galaxy trembled. A powerful wave of impact pushed outwards in all directions, and Su Ming continued retreating. He grabbed the thin man with one hand and pointed at the malicious spirit with the other.
In the midst of the booming sounds, the malicious spirit disappeared, and the elephant disappeared. It turned back into a white jade the size of a palm and charged towards Su Ming. Once Su Ming caught it, sweat broke out at the center of his brows.
Su Ming charged backwards and immediately left with the thin man. Ripples spread out behind them, and the ferocious beast hidden in space did not die. Instead, it continued letting out angry and pained roars.
The thin man's face was pale, but there was a clear black line piercing through the top of his skull. He looked at Su Ming with a complicated expression and whispered, "Thank you …"
