'That's not right!' A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. When he swept his gaze past the cocoon, a hint of hesitation suddenly rose in his heart. If the cultivators in the cocoons in the tunnel were all cultivators from Yin Death Vortex … then how would Zi Ruo be able to explain it?
When she was Relocated, she was also bound in the cocoon. By the looks of it, some of her life force had been sucked out of her.
Su Ming turned his head sideways to cast a glance at Zi Ruo. He did not voice the question in his heart. When he looked at her, he found that her face was pale, and she was looking around herself with a dazed look on her face.
With Su Ming's experience, no matter how much of a schemer a person was, he would still be able to see some clues. However, he did not see any sort of scheme in Zi Ruo. She might have been scheming, but she had not done anything that was out of line.
More importantly, Su Ming did not sense any danger from Zi Ruo. With Su Ming's level of cultivation and the strength of his will, he could sense danger from others. This was similar to intuition, but when it came to Su Ming, it surpassed intuition.
Su Ming could clearly sense that while Zi Ruo seemed to be scheming, she did not harbor any malicious intent to endanger his life. It was precisely because of this that Su Ming frowned. After a moment of pensive silence, he pushed the matter to the back of his mind and charged into the depths of the tunnel. Wherever he went, his will would spread out and fuse into each cocoon to search for a familiar figure.
He would search for his Master, head to the Fourth True World through this place, cast a glance at the gap in the Vast Expanse, and search for traces of Old Man Extermination. This was what Su Ming wanted to do at that moment. As for the other trivial matters, Su Ming did not want to spend too much effort on them.
As for Zi Ruo's schemes, in Su Ming's eyes, they were mostly for the sake of her race. She did not specifically target him, or else it would have been impossible for him not to notice any clues.
Besides, if Zi Ruo had truly gone overboard with her schemes, then with Su Ming's personality, he would have coldly watched her perform. Once she was done, he would just destroy her.
Behind Su Ming, Zi Ruo felt slightly complicated at that moment. This was because when she lost consciousness while bound by the cocoon, she seemed to have had a vague dream, and it was a dream that made her heart race.
When she woke up from the dream and was dragged out of the cocoon by Su Ming, Zi Ruo could clearly sense that a part of her life force had been sucked away … and besides her life force, there was also … the inborn power that belonged to the Heavenly Foxes.
She could even feel that the methods she had set up in the Celestial Fox Clan had been perfectly executed by the clan when she was having that dream.
"This place is the Old Man Extermination's tomb. We Heavenly Foxes have been worshiping and observing it for many years. In truth … the tunnel in this place was discovered many years ago, but this has always been the greatest secret of our race. No outsider knows about it, and even among our people, there aren't many who know about it …
"The flesh tunnel originally repels other presences, but over the years, we've been making arrangements in the tunnel all year round. In fact, we've buried quite a number of our people's corpses in the tunnel. With this method, we've fused with the tunnel so that … part of it can be controlled by us Heavenly Foxes … and in the end, the flesh tunnel can absorb our inborn abilities … In fact, if we release them here, they will become even stronger …" Zi Ruo stared at Su Ming in front of her and gritted her teeth. There were many women in the Heavenly Foxes, but it was rather difficult for them to reproduce.
After the ancestors of the Heavenly Fox Clan had explored this flesh passageway, they came up with a way to absorb the power of vitality through this passageway, allowing it to absorb the talents of the Heavenly Fox Clan. As a large number of Heavenly Fox Clan members were sent here and integrated into this passageway, to a certain extent, the Heavenly Fox Clan members and this flesh passageway had a certain connection.
After all, one of the inborn divine abilities of the Heavenly Foxes was fusion. They used their bodies to fuse with everything. This was similar to Su Ming's Possession, but it was much gentler. The effects might not be perfect, but if they used it on their race, they could fuse with each other in an invisible manner as time passed.
This was something that not even Old Man Extermination had expected. After all, no matter how strong he was, it was impossible for him to pay attention to too many trivial matters. The black-robed men also did not notice the Heavenly Foxes' little tricks over the years.
Hence, as the Heavenly Foxes fused with the tunnel over the years, when they needed it, they could use the method of offering sacrifices in the world outside to activate the layout in the place, causing the place to release a barely discernible aphrodisiac.
Due to the sealing of the tunnel, the presence would become thicker. When it reached a certain level, the men and women of the Heavenly Foxes would lose consciousness and their passion for life would erupt from them. Then, they would be sealed in passion for months or even years. In this sort of situation, the problem of their race's reproduction would be solved to a certain extent.
Zi Ruo had been bound by the cocoon and had her life force absorbed, just like how Su Ming had noticed the cultivators in Yin Death Vortex.
Even if Su Ming did not save her, once she absorbed a certain amount of her life force, Zi Ruo would wake up on her own. At that moment, almost all the Heavenly Foxes in the planets belonging to the Heavenly Foxes were dancing around a huge statue of a white nine-tailed fox on each of the cultivation planets.
There was an incredibly seductive melody to their dance. As they surrounded them, moans echoed in the air. Their voices were filled with the most pleasant sound in the world. At first glance, it sounded like they were panting, but if anyone listened to them closely, their hearts would pound against their chests, and they would feel as if they were chanting some sort of incantation.
All 739 planets belonging to the Heavenly Foxes were in the same state at that moment. The Heavenly Foxes on each planet danced faster. Gradually, as sweat appeared on their bodies, waves of fragrance spread out. Pink light shone on each of the women, causing the 739 planets to slowly turn pink. It also made the pink galaxy in the Heavenly Foxes' Expanse Cosmos even more dazzling.
An aphrodisiac presence that could make a person lose their consciousness and go mad grew stronger.
It was as if the entire Heavenly Foxes' Expanse Cosmos was filled with an aphrodisiac. It filled the air and affected Old Man Extermination's tomb as well as Zi Ruo in the Rune tunnel, causing her eyes to gradually become clear and dazed.
Under her clothes, pink dots gradually appeared on her body. These pink dots were densely packed, and there were a total of 739 of them, which corresponded to the Nine-tailed Statue that was surrounded by countless members of the Sky Fox Clan dancing on the 739 stars.
The statues were continuously absorbing the presence from all the Heavenly Foxes, and with a unique method, they gathered on Zi Ruo's body, causing her skin to slowly no longer be pale. Instead, as the 739 pink spots spread out, they gradually fused together, and her skin turned pink.
At the same time, the aphrodisiac presence belonging to the Heavenly Foxes slowly grew in the flesh tunnel. It was very faint in the beginning, so no one would be able to notice it, but once they noticed it, it meant that the presence had become incredibly thick.
Su Ming traveled very quickly. When he moved forward, his will spread out and swept through each cocoon before he charged into the depths of the tunnel. He did not find Tian Xie Zi's figure in any of the cocoons, but gradually, as he charged forward, Su Ming's breathing gradually quickened, and his heart began to race.
At the instant this feeling appeared, a hint of red appeared on Su Ming's face, and a rare hint of blankness appeared in his eyes. That blankness only lasted for an instant before disappearing, and clarity returned to Su Ming's eyes.
However, his expression turned slightly sour. This was not the first time he had experienced this feeling of his heart racing. In truth, many years ago, when Su Ming was still in the land of Berserkers, he had gone through an experience he would never forget.
That time was when he faced Madam Ji …
He had been poisoned by Madam Ji. That poison was insignificant to the current Su Ming, but to him in the past, it was so strong that it could instantly make his will scatter due to his lust.
At that moment, Su Ming felt as if he had been poisoned by that evil poison in the past. A large amount of complicated pictures appeared in his head.
A glint appeared in Su Ming's eyes. When he turned his head around, he saw Zi Ruo. With that one glance, he immediately saw the same confusion on her face, along with her trembling body and the appearance of fragrant sweat.
In fact, Zi Ruo's exposed skin had already turned pink. Su Ming also saw terror on her face.
Zi Ruo was terrified, because based on her plans, the aura in this place would not affect her too much. After all, she was a Heavenly Fox, and the one who would be affected the most should be Su Ming.
Yet now, she realized that she could not control the aura in this place. In fact, her body was being invaded by it, and her mind was gradually becoming muddled.
'How could this be?!'
'No wonder I could sense that she was scheming against me, but I didn't sense any danger …' Su Ming frowned. The strange aura in this place was the exact same as the one he had sensed in the Expanse Cosmos of the Heavenly Foxes. However, the density of the aura in this place far surpassed that of the world outside. At that moment, it was incredibly thick.
Su Ming let out a cold harrumph and swung his arm. Immediately, a gust of freezing wind appeared out of nowhere. As it swept through the area, Su Ming instantly increased his speed and charged into the depths of the tunnel. However, the instant he flew out, the aphrodisiac aura that could make a person lose their will became even thicker, causing the tunnel to be instantly covered in a pink haze.
At the same time, the lives in the cocoons on the walls of the flesh tunnel suddenly shuddered. With cracking sounds, the last bit of flesh and blood on the dried corpses were instantly sucked away, and they were reduced to powder.
…..
"Hmm?" An old voice came from the fourth Expanse Cosmos' gap. There was a hint of surprise in that voice, as if an invisible figure had lifted its head and cast its gaze into the distance.
"So I've finally been noticed..? Looks like Arid Triad hasn't been completely assimilated …"
