The sun was high in the sky.
The earth was dry.
In the middle of the desolate wilderness, there was a single altar.
Numerous people were circling around the altar, dancing and singing.
These people looked like they were still in the primordial era, using leaves and animal hides to hide their bodies.
Most of their skin was exposed, covered with strange and primitive black runes. As they danced, these black runes would also change, giving them an indescribably eerie feeling.
At this point, these people were completely immersed in their dance.
「 They're dancing, what do we do now, should we join them? 」 Sha Qiang asked.
At this point, everyone had entered this painting to temporarily hide.
Hazeden looked at Guyan and asked: "You Magic-type people seem to have a good understanding of paintings, what do you think we should do now?"
"I do know a bit about it"
Guyan nodded: "Within the world of paintings, we need to pay attention to the overall atmosphere and content of the painting, we can't do anything that doesn't fit in"
"— — -for example, in a painting of a gladiator arena, you'll either be applauding as a spectator or fighting as a gladiator. If you secretly doze off in the stands, you'll soon be kicked out of the world"
Gu Qing Shan asked: "Then, we'll have to dance inside this painting?"
"Indeed, as long as the majority of us keep dancing and singing, the entire group won't be kicked out!" Guyan replied.
All was quiet.
Everyone was staring at Gu Qing Shan.
Hazeden, Guyan, and Su Cher spoke in unison: "You don't need to dance!"
"Alright, I'll run with you, we'll sing while running" Gu Qing Shan compromised.
Everyone sighed in relief.
Under Hazeden, Guyan, and Sha Qiang's lead, the group followed the strange people and began to dance around the altar.
Su Cher stayed by Gu Qing Shan's side, 'monitoring' him to prevent him from dancing.
"You're also afraid that I'll dance?" Gu Qing Shan whispered.
Su Cher was learning the dance moves of those people. She whispered, "I'm not afraid. That dance made me sweat all over. It's very comfortable. It seems that my movements have become much faster."
Gu Qing Shan whispered, "When you were dancing, your expression was very on point. Every movement was very steady, very stylish."
"You mean … I look good when I dance?"
"Yes."
"Then why don't you just say it's nice?"
"Because your movements are done well, you give people a sense of beauty. Believe me, I'm now a beginner in dancing and I can tell the difference between good and bad." Gu Qing Shan thought for quite a while and then said.
Su Cher glared at him.
This person had already surpassed the realm of wood. It was as if steel had been smelted and forged into the appearance of wood, and then painted with a layer of brown wood paint.
However, Su Cher still raised her chin, feeling a little proud in her heart.
After all, it was a compliment.
She lowered her voice and said, "Qingshan …"
"Hmm?"
Su Cher was about to talk about an important topic when someone poked Gu Qing Shan.
Sha Qiang.
This fiend seemed a bit nervous, so he gestured for Gu Qing Shan to look at where he was pointing.
— — interestingly enough, while they were dancing inside the painting, they were able to see the situation outside.
Only to see pale white light slowly manifesting inside the cave of wreckage, illuminating the boundless sea of wreckage.
A monster covered in a pale white carapace silently flew in from outside the cave.
Each of its arms had seven sharp blade-like spikes that curved behind its back in the shape of a stream. It had a bony skull with a pair of vertical pupils.
At the same time, two ferocious monsters covered in black flames and a mouth full of sharp teeth appeared.
The Black Venerable!
The people hiding in the picture scroll stiffened and quickened the pace of their dance.
Don't be ridiculous, a single Black Venerable was able to fight against a Starlight Mobile Mech and even gain the upper hand, but these were two Black Venerables!
What caused everyone to tremble even more was the armored monster covered in pale white flames.
Because the two Black Venerables were standing on its left and right, and both of them were extremely respectful.
Three gigantic monsters hovered above the ruins, motionless.
They seemed to be observing something.
「 Sir, the pixies seem to be hiding even faster than before this time 」
As one of the Black Venerables said so, it suddenly swung its arm to unleash countless black flames that enveloped the entire ruins in a sea of flames.
Gu Qing Shan's group's expressions changed.
The painting they were in was also caught in the sea of flames.
If the painting was burned, the world inside the painting would collapse, they would either die along with the world, or be ejected from it.
— — being ejected would also be a dead end.
With their current mortal bodies, they couldn't deal with these terrifying monsters.
The black flames continued to spread in every direction, burning for a while before going out.
「 It's useless, we're too late this time. You can't burn these things, and you can't chase those pixies out 」
The monster with the pale white flames said.
Its voice was low and full of penetrating power, almost like a Deity, the entire world could hear its voice.
Hearing that, the Black Venerable quickly retracted its flames.
— — -indeed, nothing in this ruined world was burned.
「 Pixies are actually very easy to deal with, but they're too hard to find 」 the Black Venerable begrudgingly said.
The monster replied: 「 This is the pixies' life-saving ability, as long as they want to hide, no living being would be able to find them 」
The two Black Venerables went silent.
The monster then changed the topic and said: 「 Don't worry, after several ten thousand years, we will soon be able to put an end to our relationship with the pixies 」
「 Sir, you mean to say … 」
「 Those guests 」 the monster casually said: 「 They came from a true fragment of Huang Quan, so dealing with souls is their specialty 」
「 The pixies are now souls, no matter how good they are at hiding, against the power of Huang Quan, they can only fall into it 」
The monster suddenly laughed and spoke with a cruel tone: 「 Our Wraith realm possesses unparalleled fighting prowess, while the Huang Quan realm possesses the ability to control death and the dead, once we reach an agreement, no one in this world would be able to stop us! 」
「 Don't be hasty, the end of these pixies will soon come 」
The monster turned around and flew out of the cave.
The two Black Venerables followed closely behind.
A few moments later, they left.
The world full of corpses was once again shrouded in darkness and silence.
Inside the painting, everyone had been paying close attention to the situation outside. It was only after the monsters left that they sighed in relief.
Hazeden pondered: "Are the Wraith realm and Huang Quan realm really that powerful? I recall that the Mystic Zones also had a Samsara, but I've never heard of such terrifying monsters before "
Everyone nodded.
Gu Qing Shan thought for a bit, then said: "The one in the Mystic Zones was an imitation of the Samsara, so I'm guessing that those monsters just now were the real Samsara"
"There's an imitation?" Hazeden was surprised.
"That's right" Gu Qing Shan replied.
He then explained the Divine race's creation of the world.
Everyone was shaken.
"What do we do now?" Guyan asked.
"Let's go out first, the pixies must have a reason for luring me here, let's wait and see" Gu Qing Shan said.
Everyone nodded.
"It's safe outside, as long as we don't dance or sing, we'll be able to leave" Guyan said.
Thereupon they all came out of the primitive dance and stood to one side.
A few moments later, everyone was kicked out of the painting world.
As soon as they left, the group of strange people stopped.
One of them asked in a low voice: "Was it the Sacrificial Dance?"
Another replied: "That's right"
Another added: "I also sensed it"
The fourth asked: "What now?"
The fifth replied: "I'll go inform them, the rest of you keep an eye on him"
"Got it!"
The fifth quickly ran to the edge of the painting and disappeared in a single leap.
The others also formed a strange hand seal.
The scroll silently rolled itself up into the void of space, turned invisible, and silently seeped into Gu Qing Shan's clothes, sticking to his arm and forming a tattoo-like pattern.
Everyone outside the painting didn't notice.
Gu Qing Shan also didn't notice.
His attention was focused on the Omni Stone.
An hour had passed.
The Omni Stone's Skill was about to be refreshed.
If I can't turn into a cat, I won't be able to see the pixies, what should I do?
All of a sudden, a few lines of glowing text appeared on the War God UI:
[Time's up, the Omni Stone has begun to reset]
[You've obtained a new Void ability: Demon Cat Transformation]
[Demon Cat Transformation: You shall turn into a true demon cat]
[Incantation: My home is a cat]
It's still the same technique!
Gu Qing Shan immediately understood.
This was definitely the pixies' doing.
Assuming that the pixies had returned, Gu Qing Shan chanted the incantation:
"My home is a cat"
As soon as he said so, he turned into a jet-black cat.
Gu Qing Shan looked at the color of his fur and muttered in confusion.
"Whoa, a Black Cat!" Su Cher happily exclaimed.
There was a hint of enthusiasm in her voice.
Gu Qing Shan raised his black paws in front of his face and doubtfully muttered: "Meow meow meow?"
"Ahahaha, this is because you're becoming more and more nervous, ready to fight at any moment and prepared for any situation, so your Quipcraft has also changed — — this is where the mystery of Quipcraft lies"
The long-bearded old man appeared in front of the Black Cat and smiled.
