Seeing that Sima Youyue and the others had gone down, Old Ancestor Nalan had no choice but to follow.
That Soul Gnawing Beast was so powerful. If she was alone, who knows what would happen. It was better to follow them. At least there was a sacred beast with them.
Sima Youyue and the others arrived at the same place as when they first came to the island. When she saw the big rock, she couldn't help but think of Jun Lin in Xuanyuan Pavilion.
Back then, they had met here, but not long after, there was no news of him. He didn't know where he was now, or if he was trapped again.
"You yue, where are we going to find that Soul Devouring Beast?" Fatty Qu asked.
"I'll send someone to investigate first."
Sima Youyue did not dare to step into the depths of Forgotten Worry Island, so she called out a swarm of Scarlet Bees and got them to fly around the island to gather information. They waited at the edge of the island.
Since the Soul-Devouring Beast was here, there might be other spirit beasts as well. It would be unwise to go in without understanding the situation.
"You yue, don't you feel that this place is a little different from the last time?" Sima You Lin looked around and asked.
"You felt it too." Sima Youyue said.
"What's different here?" Fatty Qu ran to Sima Youyue's side to seek a sense of security.
"Sound," Sima Youyue said.
"Voice?" Fatty Qu didn't understand. What was so different about this voice?
"This place is strangely quiet." Bei Gong Tang said.
"Other than the sound of the waves crashing against the shore, there are no other sounds around." Ouyang Fei said.
"It's as if … there isn't a single living thing here." Wei Zi Qi was shocked.
Sima You Yue and Sima You Lin exchanged glances. This was too strange!
"Don't tell me that the black light you mentioned before ate all the creatures here?" Fatty Qu said.
"I don't think so." Sima Youyue shook her head. "We saw that the black light only sucked in the spirit beasts, but not the other animals. But now, there's not even the sound of butterflies or bees on the island. "
"Could it be that something killed those animals?" Bei Gong Tang said.
"Could it be a Soul Devouring Beast?" Wei Zi Qi guessed.
"Possibly." Sima You Lin said.
"Let's wait and see what the bees bring back," Sima Youyue said.
However, after a long time, those scarlet bees did not return. Sima Youyue called out the Scarlet Queen Bee, but it said that it had lost contact with the scarlet bees.
That was a few hundred scarlet bees, which was definitely a very strong team outside, but after entering the small island, they had silently lost contact with them!
"Are they all dead?" Sima Youyue asked.
"No." The Scarlet Queen Bee said, "I can still feel their life force, but I can't contact them. I think someone might have blocked the connection between our souls. "
"It should be a soul-gnawing beast." Sima You Lin said.
"Maybe it's being controlled by it." Bei Gong Tang said.
"What should we do now?"
Everyone looked at Sima Youyue, waiting for her to make a decision.
At this moment, a buzzing sound was heard. They looked towards the source of the sound, only to see a few hundred scarlet bees attacking them, catching people and wanting to sting them.
Every single bee's eyes were empty and lifeless. One look and you could tell that they were being controlled.
When Ancestor Nalan saw the scarlet bees flying towards her, she condensed her Spirit Qi and was about to attack them. However, before she could use her Spirit Skill, she felt the environment change. They went from the small island to a vast and boundless place.
"Where is this?" She looked at her surroundings in shock.
However, nobody answered her. They were all beside Sima Youyue, looking at the scarlet bees that she had brought in.
When the scarlet bees attacked, Sima Youyue brought them into the spirit pagoda, bringing Elder Nalan in as well.
The moment those scarlet bees entered, Sima Youyue locked them into a transparent spherical container. They bumped into the container carelessly, looking outside with fierce eyes, revealing a sense of ruthlessness. It was not like how they usually were.
"Little Spirit, cut off all contact with the outside world. Completely isolate the outside aura." Sima Youyue ordered.
"Okay."
Little Spirit replied. After that, those scarlet bees quietened down and stopped bumping into the container. They also stopped glaring at them fiercely.
"Sorry, Master. We apologise for our actions just now." The leader of the scarlet bees apologised to Sima Youyue guiltily.
They actually wanted to attack their own master. To a contracted beast, this was a shameful act.
"You're just being controlled." Sima Youyue did not blame them. Then, she said to the Scarlet Queen Bee, "Go and see what they went through just now."
"Okay." The Scarlet Queen Bee flew to the middle of the group of scarlet bees and chose a few. She grabbed their tentacles and used her consciousness to read their memories.
Sima Youyue closed her eyes at the same time. She was able to see everything that the Scarlet Queen Bee saw.
After those scarlet bees left, they flew towards the depths of the island. Just as Sima Youyue and the others said, they did not see a single living creature on the island. There were only a few charred plants and a few insect corpses.
The scarlet bees continued to fly towards the depths. Suddenly, they saw a black fog. That fog was rolling thickly. Suddenly, a pair of blood red eyes opened from the black fog and looked over. The blood red eyes caused Sima Youyue to shiver uncontrollably.
Suddenly, the black fog surged over and quickly wrapped around the scarlet bees. After that, they only saw endless darkness.
The Scarlet Queen Bee retreated. After the scarlet bees were controlled, they did not leave behind any memories.
Sima Youyue opened her eyes and told them what she saw.
"Looks like that black fog was the soul-gnawing beast." Sima You Lin said, "The scarlet bees looked like those sea beasts when they came back. It looks like those sea beasts were controlled by the soul-gnawing beast."
"Could this soul-gnawing beast be the one that You Yue saw a few years ago?" Ouyang Fei asked.
"I don't think so." Sima Youyue shook her head, "The aura of the two is different. The feeling it gives me is different as well. It doesn't feel like the same spirit beast."
"If we want to know why the soul-gnawing beast appeared here, we have to find it first." Sima You Lin said.
"We can only do this for now." Sima Youyue said, "It's a good thing that we already know where the soul-gnawing beast is. We have to go over carefully."
"Then what about her?" Bei Gong Tang looked at Elder Nalan, who was still sighing at this good place.
Elder Nalan felt that everyone was looking at her. She turned around and kept the greed in her eyes. She returned to her usual evil self and asked, "Where is this?"
"In my space." Sima Youyue said.
"Your space?" Elder Nalan's eyes shone. She lowered her head and could not hide the greed in her eyes.
