"Huo Yu, what do you think?" Cheng Yu thought for a while but still couldn't think of anything. He looked at the leisurely Huo Yu and asked.
"Ji! Ji! Ji! "Huo Yu raised her wing and pointed at the rightmost path.
"This one? Are you sure? "Cheng Yu asked doubtfully. He didn't see anything different about this path.
Ji! " Huo Yu nodded heavily. As for why Huo Yu couldn't speak, Cheng Yu knew a little. Demonic beasts, demonic beasts, and mutated beasts were all different.
According to what he knew, demonic beasts were like Shi Ji. When they reached the Foundation Establishment Realm, they would be able to speak. When they reached the Golden Core Realm, they would be able to transform. Demonic beasts would only be able to transform and speak when they reached the Form Synthesis Realm. When mutated beasts reached the Form Synthesis Realm, they would be able to speak, but they couldn't transform.
Seeing how certain Huo Yu was, Cheng Yu chose to believe her and walked on the rightmost path. When he saw Huo Yu leading the way, Cheng Yu understood what she meant.
In terms of defense, Huo Yu was much stronger than him. Furthermore, demonic beasts were more sensitive than him. In addition, the Earth Demon Rhinoceros was also a demonic beast. Perhaps, Huo Yu would be able to discover him more easily.
Thus, one man and two beasts. Cheng Yu walked in the middle while the Golden Toad followed behind.
"F * ck! This guy is injured, but he still runs so fast? After walking for so long, there's not even a shadow! " Cheng Yu walked along the rightmost path for about a kilometer, but he still didn't see the shadow of the Earth Demon Rhinoceros. He was extremely gloomy.
"Huo Yu, are you sure the Earth Demon Rhinoceros is here?" Cheng Yu asked doubtfully.
Ji! Ji! Ji! Ji! Ji! Ji! Ji! Huo Yu who was walking in front, nodded her head when she heard Cheng Yu's words.
"What do you mean by nodding and shaking your head?" Cheng Yu asked.
Following that, Huo Yu transmitted her message to Cheng Yu. Although the message wasn't very clear, Cheng Yu roughly understood that there seemed to be something in here. Therefore, Huo Yu brought him here and not for the Earth Demon Rhinoceros.
This caused Cheng Yu to be even more gloomy. He didn't expect that he would be tricked by this big bird. For the Earth Demon Rhinoceros to leave so quickly, it must have used up all of its energy. It was also because of this that Cheng Yu couldn't give it any chance to catch its breath. Otherwise, once it recovered from its injuries, it would be a huge problem.
But now that they had come this far, and there seemed to be something that Huo Yu thought was very important, he didn't want to give up. Furthermore, Huo Yu couldn't be sure that the Earth Demon Rhinoceros wasn't here.
After walking for another two kilometers, Cheng Yu was about to lose track of them. Suddenly, the area in front of them widened. What appeared in front of them was actually a large hall.
Cheng Yu raised his phoenix flames and looked around. He found eight lamps and lit them up. Immediately, the entire hall lit up. Looking at the hall, Cheng Yu was very surprised.
This hall could not be compared to the magnificent halls he had seen in the Holy City. Not only was this hall incomparable, but it was also extremely chaotic.
The stone walls were falling off, the pillars had collapsed, and the rocks were scattered all over the hall. What was even more surprising was that the ground was filled with corpses. There were demonic beasts and humans. Everywhere was filled with traces of a battle.
Looking at all of this, Cheng Yu could imagine that a huge battle between humans and beasts had happened here. However, the battle was very tragic. It seemed like neither the humans nor the beasts had the upper hand.
What caused Cheng Yu to be even more surprised was the strength of these humans and beasts. It was because all of them were holding spiritual tools in their hands. Even the weakest one was a low-grade spiritual tool. Cheng Yu had no idea how long these humans and beasts had died, but he dared to confirm that even a long time ago, spiritual tools weren't everywhere. Not everyone was able to possess a spiritual tool.
However, what made Cheng Yu curious was that all of these people's weapons were still there, but he couldn't see any demonic beasts' crystals. Could it be that they had been taken away? There were so many spiritual tools on the ground, yet they didn't take them away. Could it be that they were blind? Cheng Yu didn't believe it.
Since there wasn't any danger, Cheng Yu released all the people in the Mountain River Diagram. Even the women who were recovering in the Immortal Demon Pagoda were released.
"Wa! What is this place? There are spiritual tools everywhere. This time, I'm rich! "The moment she came out, Xin Luo looked at the spiritual tools on the ground. She grabbed a handful and cried out in surprise.
"Junior Brother Yu, don't tell me you found the Mirror Immortal Ruins so quickly?" Xin Hai said excitedly.
It turned out that when Cheng Yu came out, he didn't let them see the situation outside. Therefore, they didn't know what happened outside.
Seeing so many spiritual tools, everyone was dumbfounded. They thought that Cheng Yu had found the Mirror Immortal Ruins.
"Junior Brother Yu, could this really be the Mirror Immortal Ruins?" Xin Yun looked at the spiritual tools on the ground. She also thought that this was the Mirror Immortal Ruins.
"Haha! Senior Sister, do you think the Mirror Immortal Ruins is so easy to find? Then wouldn't we be so lucky? Just now, I fought with the Earth Demon Rhinoceros. In the end, it ran into a cave. I chased it all the way here and found this place! Although I don't understand the Mirror Immortal Ruins, since it's an ancient ruin that hasn't appeared for thousands of years, it's naturally impossible to find it so easily! "Cheng Yu shook his head and smiled.
"So, that Earth Demon Rhinoceros is still alive?" Xin He said.
"Yes! At this moment, I have no idea where it is hiding to recuperate. This time, I miscalculated! "Cheng Yu said gloomily.
At that time, he controlled the Jewel Cauldron to chase after it. Originally, he thought that when it got tired, it would stop. Then, he would attack it. If it ran, he would continue to chase after it. With such a chase, the Earth Demon Rhinoceros wouldn't be able to hold on for long.
However, the truth didn't develop according to Cheng Yu's imagination. No one would have thought that there would be such a mysterious cave here. Furthermore, the Earth Demon Rhinoceros was very familiar with this cave. Therefore, they had no idea where to go.
"Junior Brother, what's going on here?" Xin He looked at the corpses and weapons on the ground and asked puzzledly.
"From what I can see, there was a tragic battle between humans and beasts. In the end, both sides perished together." Cheng Yu swept the hall and said.
"These people's strength seems to be very strong! At the very least, they are peak Spirit Severing late stage experts. These demonic beasts are at least high-grade demonic beasts. "Xin He seemed to have noticed something as he said.
"Indeed." Cheng Yu nodded.
"However, why are the demonic beasts' crystals gone?" Xin He enquired doubtfully.
"I also feel that it's very strange. However, I think it might be because the Earth Demon Rhinoceros took it away." Cheng Yu said.
There were spiritual artifacts everywhere, but no one cared about them. The only thing missing were the crystals. It was very likely that they were taken away by the demonic beasts. Not only were the crystals useful to humans, they were also useful to demonic beasts.
When demonic beasts fought against demonic beasts, a large part of the reason was that they needed each other's crystals. Only the existence of demonic beasts could explain why no one took the spiritual artifacts.
"That makes sense! Then shall we bring all these spiritual artifacts away? "Xin He nodded. When he saw so many spiritual artifacts, he was somewhat excited. Although Cheng Yu had already given him a pretty good spiritual artifact, with so many spiritual artifacts, he would still be able to make a huge profit if he were to auction them.
"Of course, we will bring them away ourselves. Could it be that you want to leave them for others?" Cheng Yu laughed.
It would be a waste not to take these spiritual artifacts. In any case, if they were to be left here, they might be found by others one day. Might as well take them out and make a fortune.
"Eh? What's this? "Just when everyone was picking up the spiritual artifacts excitedly, Xin Yun suddenly voiced out her doubt.
"What's wrong, Senior Sister?" Cheng Yu walked over and enquired.
"Take a look. What's this?" Xin Yun flipped over a demonic beast corpse that was covering a human's body. These two corpses had yet to turn into bones. Immediately, she saw a mark on the demonic beast's forehead.
However, what was even more strange was that the human corpse under it also had a similar mark on its forehead.
"What a strange mark. But where have I seen this before? "Xin Luo moved her head over, speaking curiously.
"Ah! I know. When Junior Brother Yu formed a contract with Jin Toad, a similar mark appeared. "Suddenly, Xin Hai cried out.
"Contract? That's right. It's a contract! "Xin Luo reacted as she nodded her head.
"So you're saying that this human and beast are in a contract relationship?" Xin Hai suddenly understood.
Cheng Yu frowned and didn't speak. With his eyesight, he was naturally able to recognize that it was a contract mark. Not only did he recognize that it was a contract mark, he also knew what kind of contract it was.
Contracts existed everywhere in the World of Immortal Cultivation. Humans could form contracts with humans and beasts. However, the contract itself was divided into two types. One was an equality contract. It meant that both parties were in an equal relationship. There was no distinction between master and servant. The death of one of them wouldn't affect the other and the contract would disappear.
The other type was naturally a master-servant contract. The death of the servant wouldn't affect the master. But if the master died, the servant would also die. Just like Cheng Yu, if Cheng Yu died, Huo Yu and Jin Toad would also die.
But if Huo Yu or Jin Toad died, Cheng Yu would still be fine. However, Cheng Yu had a master-servant relationship with them. However, Cheng Yu had never treated them as his slaves. Instead, he treated them as equal partners.
However, the master-servant contract between human and beast was divided into two types. One was the human master-servant contract and the other was the beast master-servant contract. From the human and beast's mark, Cheng Yu was sure that this was a master-servant contract.
Cheng Yu had once said that humans could kill beasts and beasts could also kill humans. Everything in the world was equal. If humans could enslave beasts, then beasts could also enslave humans.
Seeing this mark, Cheng Yu might have understood how the tragedy in the hall had happened. No one was willing to be a slave, regardless of human or beast. But these humans were actually enslaved by demonic beasts. Therefore, they rose up in revolt and chose to perish together with them.
This was also able to understand why there would be such a big man-made cave here. It was all constructed by these human slaves.
