Only then did the two remember the invader called Jing Qi. Thinking about it carefully, they did not see him along the way. Especially among the Golden Core disciples who were fighting against the demon beasts along the way, there were disciples from various sects who went to participate in the competition, but there was no sign of him. Divine Heavens Sect would not let him stay alone.
Lonemoon's heart sank, and without hesitation, he directly made a tracing spell. He had left it on him a long time ago, just to make it easier to find him. But strangely, his tracing spell did not respond.
"How could this be?" His expression changed. "Where did he go?"
"It should be …" Shen Ying suddenly turned and pointed in the direction of the Mirage Sea. "Over there!"
"Mirage Sea!" Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a look, and their hearts sank. "Could it be that this Beast Tide is related to him?" Previously, they were worried about the outbreak of Chef's Sword Qi, and did not care about what happened to that Chuunibyou after the competition. Unexpectedly, after only one day, he caused such a big thing.
"With his ability, it is impossible to cause such a big Beast Tide!" Yi Qing shook his head and said, "There should be other reasons."
"Let's go and see!" Shen Ying suggested.
Only then did the two rise up on their swords, and flew towards the depths of the Mirage Sea. Large pieces of half-beast corpses floated on the surface of the sea. Shen Ying's sword strike might have been too fierce, the three of them flew for a long time before they finally did not see those corpses.
But below them appeared a large number of demon beasts, and the number was even more than before, rushing in the direction they came from in groups. Even as if they could not see the floating corpses in the sea at all, they just rushed over blindly, as if controlled by something.
This was too strange!
"I'll go catch one and see!" Lonemoon said, and flew down. He raised his hand and set up a trapping array, which turned into a net of Spirit Qi, and caught an eighth-level demon beast and lifted it up.
The few of them stopped on a small island at the side, and then threw this demon beast on the ground. The demon beast seemed to have gone mad, desperately hitting the trapping array around it, even when it was covered in blood, it did not stop, and its eyes were emitting a strange red light.
Lonemoon frowned and struck out with a sword art. The demon fell to the ground instantly. He directly used a wind blade to cut open the belly of this rank eight beast and carefully scanned it. He even used his Divine Sense to explore. Suddenly, his eyes widened.
"This demonic beast actually doesn't have a beast core!" How was this possible? Normally, if a demonic beast wanted to cultivate, it would definitely form a Beast Core in its body. Otherwise, it would be impossible for it to gather spiritual energy. This was clearly an eighth-rank demonic beast, so it was impossible for it to not have a Beast Core.
"Father Niu, why don't we try summoning the soul!" Yi Qing suggested.
Lonemoon paused. He immediately used a soul-summoning spell. A beam of light shot out from his finger and swept towards the other party.
A moment later, a wisp of light smoke floated up from the beast's corpse and dissipated in a short while. It didn't even condense into a shape.
"This is … a remnant soul!" Lonemoon exclaimed. Yi Qing's eyes were filled with shock as well.
There was absolutely no problem with Lonemoon's sorcery, which meant that the light smoke just now was the soul of this demonic beast. There was actually only a remnant soul in the body of an eighth-level demonic beast. No! It probably couldn't even be called a remnant soul.
No wonder these demonic beasts only rushed towards the shore blindly. They probably didn't have any consciousness at all. They probably didn't even have souls in their bodies.
"Where did their souls go? Who took them away? " Logically speaking, if someone had used soul-summoning, it was impossible that they didn't find out. Even Meng Po didn't notice it.
"Perhaps, there wasn't any in the beginning." Shen Ying's eyes darkened.
"No?" Lonemoon paused. "But … this demonic beast was clearly alive. Why wasn't there any in the beginning?"
"Over there …" Shen Ying tilted her head and suddenly pointed to the right side of the sea. "There's something interesting."
"What?"
"Something … that doesn't belong to this world."
Could there be another intruder? Lonemoon and Yi Qing exchanged a look, and their expressions changed.
"Let's go and take a look!"
Once again, they mounted their swords and flew in the direction that Shen Ying had pointed out.
The closer they got, the more demonic beasts there were. The sea was filled with all kinds of demonic beasts, and their levels were getting higher and higher. Some of them even had the cultivation of Earth Immortals. But they still maintained the appearance of not taking human form and crazily headed in the direction that they came from.
They were almost at the edge of the Mirage Sea. After flying for another ten minutes, they could faintly see a black island. Looking at the scene on the island, the few of them couldn't help but gasp. There were even more demonic beasts on the island. There were layers and layers of them, and they were crawling towards the sea outside.
Compared to the demonic beasts in the sea, these demonic beasts seemed even crazier. But their bodies were all blood-red. Many of the scales on their bodies were still wrinkled, as if they had just been born and hadn't fully grown. But once they crawled into the water, they became adult demonic beasts again. It was as if every step they crawled took hundreds of years of growth.
The slower they crawled, the higher the level of the demonic beasts when they entered the water.
"What island is this?" Lonemoon suddenly had a bad feeling. He had never seen such a scene before.
"There's something in the middle of the island." Shen Ying reminded.
Lonemoon and Yi Qing were stunned. The next moment, they directly flew towards the center of the island.
From afar, the few of them saw a silver light. They saw that in the middle of the island, there was a pool of two to three meters wide. The water in the pool was very strange. It was silvery-white, like a pool of mercury. And those endless demonic beasts crawled out of the pool. At first, they were very small, but when they reached the shore, they grew with the wind.
"What … is this thing?" Yi Qing was stunned. He released his Divine Perception to feel carefully, only to find that there was actually no fluctuation of Spirit Qi in the pool. Apart from the different color, it was just like ordinary pool water. But it could produce so many demonic beasts. This was practically a miracle.
Lonemoon sensed the assistant imprint, wanting to see the situation of this pool clearly. After a while, his eyes suddenly widened. "This pool doesn't belong to this plane!" He saw that the word "invader" suddenly appeared on the pool.
"How can this be?" Lonemoon was stunned. "Why is there no alarm this time when this plane is invaded?" There was obviously a second grader from before.
"Maybe it's been here for too long!" Shen Ying said.
"You're saying that this thing was here before you became a manager?"
"Yes."
Lonemoon frowned. It was indeed possible. This was not the first time this Beast Tide had happened. Even when they were still in the lower realm, this Mirage Sea was not very safe. It was only because Bai Ze was guarding that it did not form a Beast Tide. In other words, it was very likely that this pool was already here at that time.
"No matter what, we cannot let this pool continue like this." Yi Qing directly summoned his spirit sword and said.
"Yes." Lonemoon nodded. "If this goes on, this Beast Tide will not end."
