"When we were outside, I felt it too. All the strange phenomena were caused by the array's automatic operation. After entering, although there were some strange things, they were all dead and had no spirituality. There was nothing to be afraid of. Even the wild dogs outside were scarier than here. Wild dogs would be despicable and bite you suddenly. Dead things, on the other hand, were much more well-behaved and would not take the initiative to provoke you …"
Fang Xing spoke clearly and logically, looking around without a care in the world.
The Golden Crow opened its mouth and wanted to refute Fang Xing's words, but it did not know where to start.
It was also at this moment that a wave-like power suddenly surged around them. From all directions, it surged towards where they were. Fang Xing and the Golden Crow were shocked. They suddenly realized that the previously very calm Fox Cave Array had actually started to operate. As the terrifying power fluctuated, the eight gates changed, life and death alternated, and danger lurked everywhere.
"Let's go, the place where we are is about to become the Death Gate …"
Fang Xing was shocked. He pulled the Golden Crow and fled forward.
The Golden Crow cried out. "Don't run in that direction …"
Fang Xing scolded. "Behind us is turning into the Death Gate. Do you want to be suppressed by the entire array's power?"
As he scolded, he pulled the Golden Crow and fled quickly.
The Golden Crow could not cry even if it wanted to. It cried out in despair. "But you are charging into the main hall now …"
It was unknown if Fang Xing did it intentionally or not, but he used the excuse of escaping from the Death Gate of the array to directly rush towards the half-closed main hall. He did not hesitate to pull the Golden Crow into the main hall. The moment they entered the main hall, an invisible and powerful force descended. In their ears, they seemed to hear a desolate and indignant sigh.
"My Dao is immortal as long as it is not extinguished. If it is not extinguished, my Dao will exist forever …"
"Who is speaking?"
Fang Xing's ears perked up. He scanned the main hall and activated the Yin Yang Fiendgod Mirror with all his might. However, he did not feel any vitality.
As for that voice, other than the one he heard when he first entered the hall, he didn't hear it again.
The Golden Crow crawled up from the ground. He wanted to cry but had no tears. "You bastard, you're simply a troublemaker. If I stay with you, I'll be killed by you sooner or later. I've made up my mind. Once I get out, I'll … eh …"
It angrily rebuked Fang Xing for his crimes, but suddenly, its eyes lit up as it looked forward.
In the main hall, there were also ruins everywhere, and the ground was cracked. It was a dilapidated scene. However, not far ahead, there was a large blood-red lotus flower in a large pond. The pond was filled with dark red blood water that was rich with blood Qi, and the lotus flowers were growing, standing gracefully on the pond, and there were nearly a hundred strangely red lotus flowers in full bloom.
"Blood Lotus, it's actually the Blood Lotus …"
The Golden Crow's eyes almost popped out of its sockets. It shouted, "That's a Blood Lotus that grows by absorbing the blood Qi of tens of thousands of beasts. It's a top-notch medicine in the world. It's said that it has the effect of reviving the dead, and can even save people who have gone mad …"
Before it could finish speaking, Fang Xing had already rushed over and said, "Let's see if there are any lotus seeds!"
The Golden Crow immediately reacted. It ran over and said, "Yes, yes, yes. The Blood Lotus itself has no medicinal effect. Only after it withers will the lotus seeds have the effect of healing … Young Master Fang, Master Fang, I love you so much!"
This fellow was also a weirdo. Once he saw a treasure, he forgot his fear and found Fang Xing more and more pleasing to the eye.
"Don't disgust me. I'm not interested in crows …"
"Damn, there are many beauties in our Golden Crow tribe. I have a very handsome cousin. How about I introduce her to you?"
"Does she look like a bird like you?"
"She's already cultivated a human face. She's beautiful, but she's too talkative. She's a chatterbox …"
As the two of them talked nonsense, they quickly searched the edge of the blood pool. They couldn't help but be shocked. What grew in the pool was a rare treasure in the world of cultivation. It was called the Blood Lotus. It was born from the blood Qi of tens of thousands of beasts in the world and contained the essence of life. When the flower fell, it would produce lotus seeds with miraculous effects. Legend had it that it could really revive the dead.
It was said that an ancient almighty had once used a Blood Lotus to save his beloved disciple who only had a ghost left. He used the lotus roots as the bones, the lotus leaves as the flesh, and the lotus seeds as the soul. In the end, he cultivated into the Lotus Real Body. His cultivation reached the heavens, and he became a Great Sage.
The legend was too old, and no one knew whether it was true or not. However, the lotus seeds of the Blood Lotus were holy medicines for healing, so it was true.
After scanning for a while, Fang Xing's eyes were sharp. He saw a shriveled lotus seed in the lotus eye. He was overjoyed and hurriedly pulled it down. When he held it in his hand, he saw that there were seven children on top of it. He was ecstatic. The Golden Crow also let out a cry and rushed over, wanting to snatch it from him. However, Fang Xing stepped on it and looked at the bottom of the pool with a frown.
"Let me see, let me see …"
The Golden Crow was stepped on, but it didn't know how to be angry. It cried out greedily.
Fang Xing ignored it. His eyes were fixed on the bottom of the pool, as if he was stunned.
However, when Fang Xing pulled out the Blood Lotus and plucked the seed, he vaguely saw a person in the blood pool.
The blood pool was filled with thick blood water, but it was possible to see through the blood water to see what was underneath. Fang Xing saw that there was actually a very small child in the blood pool. When he focused his gaze on the child, the blood lotuses in the pool seemed to move away, no longer obstructing his vision. Fang Xing could see the child's appearance in its entirety, and his heart ached a little.
That child was only two or three years old. His eyes were slightly closed, as if he were asleep. His small body was like white porcelain, and was filled with a pure light. Even the pool of blood was unable to stain him in the slightest. What was even more terrifying was that the pool of blood was actually growing from his body. It was as if he was relying on his essence blood to grow and germinate.
"Such a small child was actually used as nourishment … What kind of bastard would do such a thing?"
It was rare for Fang Xing to feel a trace of compassion. The lotus in his hand was a little hot.
The child's expression was clearly blank, and there was no change in it. However, there was a faint pleading feeling coming from her body. It was a very strange feeling. It was not a spell, nor was it an illusion, but it directly touched Fang Xing's heart, forming a restless force that kept tugging at his heartstrings, begging him to put the lotus back, not to snatch it away …
Under this kind of force, Fang Xing's expression was a little solemn, as if he had already been robbed …
"Sigh …"
After a long time, he suddenly sighed softly and said, "Little fellow, you're too pitiful. I'll return this lotus seed to you!"
As he spoke, he plucked a lotus seed from the lotus, and with a flick of his finger, he flicked it into the child's slightly opened mouth …
Then, the guilt in his heart disappeared, and he put away the rest of the lotus seed with a clear conscience.
Strangely enough, just as he put away the lotus seed, the pool full of blood lotuses returned again, and the shadow at the bottom of the pool could not be seen.
Naturally, Fang Xing could not see that after the little child held the lotus seed in her mouth, the corners of her mouth seemed to curl up into an aggrieved smile, and her body gradually grew. In an instant, she had turned into the appearance of a sixteen or seventeen-year-old girl. She was slim and graceful, and her eyebrows were slightly furrowed. At the same time, there was a faintly discernible vitality rising in her body.
"What are you doing? Every lotus seed is priceless, why did you throw it back?"
The Golden Crow, who was being stepped on by Fang Xing, shouted anxiously when it saw his action.
Fang Xing released it, showed it the lotus seed, and said, "There were seven lotus seeds just now, how do we divide them? I'm a loyal person, how can I take advantage of you? Look, now there are six lotus seeds in total, is it easy to divide them? "
As he spoke, he generously took three lotus seeds and handed them to the Golden Crow.
The Golden Crow was stunned for a moment, and after a long while, it sobbed and said, "What a good brother …"
Fang Xing waved his hand and said, "It's not a big deal!"
The Golden Crow continued to cry, "Why don't you give me that one?"
Fang Xing said angrily, "You want to take advantage of me? Do you believe that I'll trample you to death? "
The Golden Crow was shocked. He hurriedly took the three lotus seeds and put them away in a secretive manner.
"Look, there's something good over there …"
Fang Xing looked around and suddenly saw another place. His eyes lit up, and he rushed over.
At the end of the center of the hall, there was a dark golden dragon chair. Although there were a few cracks on it, there was still an indescribable might that made people not dare to look at it directly. However, this kind of might was only effective on people who were in awe. Fang Xing did not feel it at all. His eyes rolled around and he saw an item on the dragon chair.
It seemed to be a fox mask, and it was placed neatly on the dragon throne.
Fang Xing immediately activated the Yin Yang Fiend Mirror and looked at the mask. However, after a while, he was stunned.
He could not tell!
The mask was clearly extraordinary, but he could not see what it was even with the Yin Yang Fiend Mirror …
Appraising items was not like appraising a person's cultivation level, which required the consumption of spirit energy. Usually, one could tell what it was at a glance. It was the first time that Fang Xing encountered a situation where he could not see through the mask after looking at it for a long time.
"Forget it, let's get it first!"
Fang Xing reacted quickly. No matter what it was, let's get it first.
Thinking of this, he was about to rush forward, but suddenly, an old voice was heard. "Who goes there!"
Fang Xing and the Golden Crow behind him were shocked at the same time.
