"What you said is very reasonable."
The little hamster nodded, but immediately after, it revealed a secretive smile. "However, I seem to have thought of something, some things … … seem to require a life sacrifice to awaken … …"
"I don't understand what Teacher Cang is saying?"
Shi Yuyan's expression became even colder, she did not speak anymore and looked into the distance. Her white robes fluttered in the wind, but the girl seemed to gradually become still.
"Hehe, I also don't understand what I'm saying."
The little hamster flew up and floated in the air. "However, we have known each other for a while, I still advise you to be careful, don't play with fire. There are some things that you can't control right now. "
After the little hamster said that, it disappeared into the air again.
Shi Yuyan was silent on the top of the huge tree. She did not know when it started, but a biting cold wind whistled past the girl and blew into the ancient forest.
Layers of waves rippled in the dense Demonic Sound Forest.
Vaguely, it seemed as if the entire mountain began to surge with a huge undercurrent.
The green ripples continued to spread out!
Time flew by quickly.
The cultivators shuttling through the Demonic Sound Forest were all doing their best to collect materials to build their zithers.
Building a zither was a tedious matter, the selection of materials, gathering, polishing, and processing of each part of the zither required a large amount of time.
Thus, to all the cultivators in the forest, the speed of time passing was unimaginably fast.
Just as the cultivators were gathering materials in the dark, a cold voice suddenly sounded from the air and spread to every corner of the ancient forest.
"A reminder, 24 hours have already passed, only half of the time is left. If 24 hours pass and the zither is not completed, you will lose the qualifications to cultivate the zither."
This cold voice came from Shi Yuyan's reminder.
In an empty space, Eldest Young Miss Zhao Yue, Gu Sihuang, and Qi Xinrou had already gathered all the materials needed to build the zither.
Except for the last string!
They were busy polishing it into the required shape.
Hearing Shi Yuyan's message, Zhao Yue's expression changed.
The process of building a zither was mainly gathering materials, polishing, assembling, and processing.
Gathering materials took the least time, while polishing and processing took the longest.
The size of the polished instrument couldn't be the slightest bit different, and after assembly, the scale had to be adjusted.
If there was a single mistake, they would have to start all over again.
This, this was the most terrifying thing!
Zhao Yue and the others had just finished collecting the materials and were polishing them. Half of the time had already passed.
Based on this calculation, the remaining time was really tight.
What else could he do? He could only fight!
A hundred li away from here, in a broad-leaved forest stood Duan Qing, Liu Xian 'er, and Zhao Qin.
Duan Qing wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Fortunately, the materials needed for our life-bound zither are easy to find. We can finish the zither strings when it's dark. Now, all the materials are almost finished."
Zhao Qin and Liu Xian 'er also heaved a sigh of relief.
The various parts of the ancient zither in their hands had basically been polished. The remaining assembly would not take much time. As long as they debugged it well, the task of building the zither could be completed before the deadline.
On the rocky cliff at the peak of the huge mountain, Ouyang Yun, whose yellow clothes fluttered like a flag, also heard Shi Yuyan's cold instructions.
His face darkened. One of the materials for his life-bound zither, the black dragon stone, was extremely difficult to collect. As a result, he spent most of his time collecting the materials.
Now, twenty-four hours had passed. Apart from the zither strings, he had barely collected all the materials and had not even started polishing them.
In this way, time was already running out.
"It's so difficult to learn a zither." Ouyang Yun could not help but sigh. He suddenly thought of something. "Eh, why haven't I seen that sissy yet?"
At this moment, in a patch of tall grass at the bottom of the huge mountain, a hidden red figure trembled slightly.
Feng Wu had been hiding in this patch of grass without moving for several hours.
He did not move at all, as if he had lost all signs of life.
Only a pair of sinister eyes slightly opened, revealing the aura of a living person.
His eyes were extremely cold and seemed to faintly carry an intense aura of destruction and death.
If someone saw it, they would be able to immediately recognize that it was the devilishly handsome cultivator Feng Wu.
He did not make the best use of his time to build a zither like the others. Instead, he hid in this patch of grass motionlessly. After an unknown amount of time, there was not the slightest movement.
Feng Wu did not notice, but there was a round little creature in the distance that was spying on him.
After a few glances, it escaped into the void and quickly reappeared on top of a tall red tree.
The little hamster could not help but sigh. There was a bit of anxiety in its eyes. "Where did that bastard Chu Chen go? I can't find any trace of him, and I can't even sense his aura? "
The little hamster's round little eyes continuously rolled around before slowly closing.
Countless wisps of black Qi emerged from its body. These wisps of black Qi were like needles and quickly flew into the void.
After a moment, the little hamster opened its eyes again. "He actually used the Qi Concealing Technique. No wonder I couldn't find him. This brat!"
The little hamster's body moved and escaped into the void. When it reappeared, it was in a green valley.
There were large green rocks here. On a green rock that was more than ten feet in size, there was a young man lying on it.
He was lying on his back, his whole body spread out, snoring loudly. It was Chu Chen.
"Brat Chu, what are you doing?"
The little hamster could not help but angrily shout.
Chu Chen continued to sleep as if he did not hear it.
A trace of coldness flashed in the little hamster's eyes. Just as it was about to make a move, Chu Chen suddenly opened his eyes. The little hamster was so scared that it jumped back a step.
"Timid as a mouse, you're disturbing my sleep."
Chu Chen yawned and closed his eyes again.
"Half the time has passed. How's your zither construction?"
"It's almost done." Chu Chen continued to close his eyes.
"You don't seem to cherish this opportunity at all?"
"Isn't the demoness always by my side? There are plenty of opportunities to learn from her. There's nothing to cherish …"
Chu Chen's voice became softer and softer, as if he would fall asleep at any time.
"I don't care about anything else, but you have to finish the zither. Otherwise, how can you play the Ancient Starry Song in the future? Tell me your progress immediately."
"Okay, okay, I'll tell you … I'll tell you now."
Chu Chen slowly sat up. "Don't worry. Except for the strings, the other materials have been polished. You just need to get the strings and install them."
As he spoke, he stretched his body.
"But urging me to work isn't your usual style?"
Chu Chen looked at the little hamster suspiciously.
"Well, I feel that this so-called Zither Mountain Demonic Forest is not a place to stay for long. So I suggest you finish the zither and leave immediately."
The little hamster's eyes showed a trace of uneasiness.
