It had been a while since Lu Chen last came to the underground city in the mysterious cave. When he walked through the passageway and saw the majestic underground city again, his heart was still the same as when he first saw this place. A feeling of admiration welled up in his heart along with a slightly strange feeling.
The blood-red moon was still floating in the sky, emitting a seemingly endless blood-red light. It seemed that it would never stop, nor would it stop. It was like this blood-red moon had existed in this place ever since Pan Gu created the world, and had never changed.
When the red light shone on him, Lu Chen's body and footsteps paused. At that moment, he felt an unpleasant aura that suppressed his spiritual power. However, he was not afraid of it, nor did he panic. Firstly, he could endure this feeling. Secondly, he had secretly proven that although the aura of this blood moon was strange, it only suppressed most ordinary cultivators. On the other hand, the mysterious Black Fire in his body was not affected by this place once it was activated.
Back then, Black Fire had helped him a lot when he was able to break through the siege of the Devil Cult followers. Of course, with his many years of experience, Black Fire had already saved him many, many times.
Thinking of this, Lu Chen's heart skipped a beat. He looked to his side and saw Oxen and Black Dog walking over. Among them, Atsu's body seemed to have paused for a moment, but soon returned to normal. On the contrary, Oxen, who had always been unfathomable, suddenly trembled and its movements became a little slower after being bathed in the light of the blood moon.
At the next moment, Oxen seemed to have turned its huge horns with some difficulty and let out a low moo. Then, it suddenly staggered and almost fell to the ground.
This time, both Lu Chen and Atsu were taken aback. No one expected that Oxen would have such a big reaction when they walked into this underground blood moon city. It was even a little scary.
Lu Chen quickly turned around and supported Oxen's body. Atsu also rushed over in a hurry. It barked repeatedly and used its body to push against Oxen's stomach, trying to make it stand steadily.
However, Oxen's body was a little too huge. Lu Chen and Atsu struggled to support it in a hurry. Fortunately, although Oxen still looked a little uncomfortable, it managed to stand firmly on its own after shaking for a while. Then, it slowly bent its legs and sat on the ground.
Lu Chen was also stunned and puzzled. One must know that although the blood moon here had a strange power that could suppress many human cultivators, even if ordinary cultivators came in and felt uncomfortable, they wouldn't have such an obvious and serious reaction like Oxen. Otherwise, they wouldn't have arranged for people from the Starry Hall to come here to do those secret things.
The green ox knelt on the ground with its head drooped. After a while, it seemed to be in better spirits, but overall, it still gave off a rare feeling of illness.
Lu Chen frowned and glanced at the blood moon in the sky. Then, he whispered to Oxen, "What's going on? If it really can't stand the blood moon, let's go out first? "
Oxen raised its pair of huge eyes and looked over Lu Chen's body at the houses below that were taller than ordinary human houses. It looked into the distance in silence. Its gaze swept across the street and finally fell on the center of the city, on the strange statue that connected the ground and the cave dome.
"Moo …" Oxen called out in a low voice.
Lu Chen followed its gaze and looked in that direction. Then, he hesitated for a moment and asked tentatively, "Do you want to go there?"
Oxen nodded, but the Black Dog next to it seemed to be a little anxious and barked.
Lu Chen was also a little worried. Looking at Oxen's dispirited appearance, he smiled bitterly and said, "There are two problems. First, you're too big and heavy. I can't move or push you. Second, we're only at the edge of the blood moon. Are you sure you won't die if we go further in?"
Oxen hesitated for a moment, but it still looked at the statue in the distance with determination. Clearly, it still insisted on its idea.
Atsu looked at it worriedly. However, Lu Chen wasn't Atsu, so he didn't have that kind of reverence for it. Therefore, Lu Chen quickly said without holding back, "Don't waste your time. I don't care if you want to die, but you're a treasure in the eyes of that damn baldy. At the very least, I don't know what else he values more than you. If I really kill you here, that damn baldy will fight me to the death! "
Oxen glared at Lu Chen with a hint of annoyance and anger in its eyes. Then, it put on a disdainful expression.
"Ptui!" Lu Chen slapped the top of the bull's head and scolded, "What are you pretending for? When I was still by that damn baldy's side, you used that stupid look to trick me. Do you think I'll fall for it again?"
A hint of helplessness appeared on Oxen's face as it fell silent.
"Let's go." Lu Chen grabbed Oxen's head and pulled it back to where they came from. He said, "If you have the guts, you can ask that damn baldy to send you down here himself. If anything happens to you, he'll be responsible for it. It has nothing to do with me. I don't care if you die or not."
Ah-Tu was a little dumbfounded as he watched from the side. He did not expect Lu Chen to be so familiar with the green bull and treat it like an outsider. As for the green bull, it did not react much to Lu Chen's actions, perhaps because it was affected by the blood moon's brilliance or some other reason.
Oxen even sighed softly.
Yes, this cow sighed softly. There was a hint of helplessness in its voice, which was almost the same as a human's.
Lu Chen didn't care about it as if he was already used to it. Behind them, Atsu was a little puzzled.
At the other corner of the cave, behind a hidden rock, a petite figure slowly poked her head out. She revealed a pair of bright eyes as she watched the scene. There was a hint of astonishment in her eyes.
In the end, Oxen didn't insist or struggle too much. It just left with Lu Chen even though it was unusually determined to come down to the underground city at the cost of fighting the guards. Therefore, it seemed that it had a strong start but a weak finish.
However, from this, it could be seen that even though it was not as obvious as Perfected Lord Tianlan's reaction, the green ox clearly viewed Lu Chen in a different light.
Lu Chen brought the green bull and the black dog Ah-Tu down for a walk, then turned around and left without doing anything. It could be said that he was all bark and no bite. However, after they left, another figure suddenly walked out of the empty underground cave. It was an extremely beautiful young lady. It was White Lotus.
Bai Lian first glanced at the passageway that they had come in from, and then a thoughtful expression appeared on her face. She then looked at the blood moon in the sky, and after a while, she seemed to have made a decision. She strode forward and walked towards the strange statue in the center of the city, as if she wanted to investigate it herself.
As she walked, her footsteps and movements seemed to be a little unnatural compared to usual. She should have been somewhat affected by the suppression of the blood moon, but it was still much better than the Green Ox. The suppression was not as great.
As she stepped on the long street, a series of crisp footsteps echoed in the city. When the sound wave drifted, it spread to a deep dry well in a courtyard in a corner.
A shadow in the darkness moved slightly. It raised its head and glanced at the world above. After a while, it seemed to move very slowly and then slowly stood up …
