Lu Ye was in a bad mood, but he had nowhere to vent his frustration. He could only sullenly pick up the bone xun, put it to his mouth, and play with all his might.
An unpleasant tone echoed out from the Star Boat.
He really didn't have any talent in music. When he was tested in the Mermaid Clan's Conch Palace, he had relied on his own unique skills to pass. How could he play a bone xun?
Li Shang's good mood was ruined. He helplessly stretched out his hand to Lu Ye and said, "Give it to me!"
"You know how to play it?" Lu Ye looked at him in surprise.
"I've learned a little," Li Shang replied.
Li Shang definitely hadn't just learned a little. When the bone xun played, a desolate and ancient atmosphere began to fill the air.
After he finished playing, Li Shang returned the bone xun to Lu Ye. Lu Ye waved his hand and said, "You can have it!"
The xun was completely useless to him. The journey was long, and he had nothing to do, so it was good to listen to Li Shang play a few songs to relieve his boredom.
As soon as these words fell, Lu Ye suddenly sensed something and turned his head to look in a certain direction. He saw a huge figure rapidly moving towards him, and under the illumination of the surrounding starlight, this figure appeared particularly ferocious and terrifying.
"A Lunar Star Beast!" Li Shang also noticed the figure of the Star Beast and couldn't help but exclaim.
Lu Ye hurriedly accelerated the Star Boat and fled into the distance. He had personally experienced the terror of a Lunar Star Beast. Previously, he had joined forces with Ban Ci to kill a Heaven Desire Demonic Spider. However, that time, they had the advantage of a sneak attack. If they faced it head-on, they would definitely be no match for it.
The aura of this Star Beast was much stronger than that of a Heaven Desire Demonic Spider. It might even be comparable to the late Lunar Star Beast. With Lu Ye and Li Shang's small bodies, how could they resist it?
The Star Boat morphed into a streak of light and continued to fly forward. The Star Beast chased after it relentlessly. Even though it was huge and clumsy, its speed wasn't slow at all. Even though Lu Ye had increased the speed of the Star Boat to the maximum, he could barely keep up with it.
Logically speaking, when Star Beasts encountered creatures in the Starry Sky, if they couldn't catch them for a long time, they would give up. However, for some reason, this Lunar Star Beast couldn't get rid of it.
Lu Ye had been in a stalemate with it for half a month. This fellow was like a tail that could not be shaken off.
Needless to say, Lu Ye had consumed a significant amount of spirit jades during the past half a month. After all, the Star Boat had to rely on spirit jades to travel at full speed.
Lu Ye didn't understand. He hadn't offended the Moon Jade Star Beast, so why was it so persistent?
Continuing like this was not a solution. Seeing that there was no way to get rid of the star beast, Lu Ye could only shoot out a Imperial Equipment to the side.
After flying for a while, Lu Ye shouted to Li Shang, "Enchantment!"
Without the slightest hesitation, Li Shang attached himself to Lu Ye. Immediately afterwards, Lu Ye put away his Star Boat and vanished into thin air.
When he reappeared, he was already at the location of the Imperial Equipment he had shot out. He was tens of thousands of miles away from where he was before.
He quickly looked around and found a huge meteorite. Hiding on it, he activated the concealment and aura-restraining spirit tattoos to enhance himself and attached himself to the meteorite like a ghost.
A terrifying aura came from tens of thousands of miles away. Without a doubt, the Moon Jade Star Beast was furious after losing its target. Lu Ye was even more certain that it was a star beast comparable to the late Moon Jade Star Beast.
He didn't dare to move recklessly, nor did he dare to let his aura leak. He drifted along the meteorite's course into the depths of the starry sky.
During this time, he even sensed traces of the Moon Jade Star Beast passing by several thousand miles away. Obviously, it was still searching around.
After drifting like this for a few days, Lu Ye was certain that he could no longer sense the Moon Jade Star Beast's aura. Only then did he heave a sigh of relief and deactivate his concealment and aura-restraining spirit tattoos.
After looking around for a while, Lu Ye reconfirmed his position and planned his course. Then, he summoned his Star Boat and flew forward.
With his previous experience, Lu Ye was even more cautious this time. Dangers were everywhere in the starry sky. This time, he was lucky that he had only encountered the Moon Jade Star Beast. At least he had the ability to get rid of it. If he had encountered Ri Guang … then he and Li Shang would have to wash their necks clean.
The next half a month passed peacefully, allowing Lu Ye and Li Shang to relax a lot. Speaking of which, although there were many dangers in the starry sky, they weren't easy to encounter. If they really encountered a crisis that was difficult to deal with, then they could only blame it on their bad luck.
The melodious sound of the bone xun rang out again. Li Shang seemed to like this musical instrument very much.
Before he could finish the song, Lu Ye's expression changed drastically. This was because he sensed the aura of the Moon Jade Star Beast again, and there was more than one of them!
Turning his head, he saw three streaks of fiery red light shooting toward him from the depths of the starry sky. Through the light, Lu Ye saw three horses!
Two of the horses were big and one small. They were covered in flames, as if they were burning fiercely. They exuded an extremely powerful aura. It was obvious that they were a family of three.
What made Lu Ye feel slightly relieved was that although the three Moon Jade Star Beasts were all Moon Jade Star Beasts, their auras were not as strong as the ones he had encountered before. If the one he had encountered before was a late-stage Moon Jade Star Beast, then these three Moon Jade Star Beasts were two mid-stage Moon Jade Star Beasts and one early-stage Moon Jade Star Beast.
If they could get rid of the late-stage Star Beast, they could naturally get rid of the mid-stage and early-stage Star Beasts as well. Lu Ye immediately accelerated the Star Boat. This time, after fleeing for several days, they finally got rid of the family of three.
On the Star Boat, Lu Ye let out a long breath and exchanged a glance with Li Shang. Then, both of them looked at the bone xun in Li Shang's hand.
If the first Astral Beast attack was just a coincidence, then the second time allowed the two of them to see some clues.
After all, both times they encountered Star Beasts after Li Shang played the bone xun.
"Did you sense any special power from it?" Lu Ye asked.
Li Shang shook his head. "It seems to be just an ordinary musical instrument!"
That was true. If this bone xun really had a special power, Lu Ye should have sensed it. However, there was no way to explain the two Star Beast attacks. After all, it was too coincidental.
It was easy to verify.
A few days later, on a desolate planet, Lu Ye spent a lot of effort to set up a grand formation. Not only that, but his doppelganger was also waiting tens of thousands of miles away, ready to receive him and Li Shang at any time.
When everything was ready, Lu Ye looked at Li Shang and nodded slightly.
Li Shang picked up the bone xun and played it softly.
Although the sound of the bone xun was melodious, it could only travel a limited distance. Lu Ye didn't think that the Moon Jade Star Beast they encountered before was attracted by this thing. However, whether it was true or not, he still had to verify it. Otherwise, he wouldn't feel safe with such a strange thing by his side.
After Li Shang finished playing the song, Lu Ye looked around vigilantly. When he didn't find anything unusual, he let out a long breath. He vaguely felt that he had been overthinking and that the previous two encounters were probably just coincidences.
He didn't stop Li Shang and let him play the xun.
Li Shang played three songs in a row, but it was still peaceful.
Lu Ye called out, "That's enough."
He was now certain that he had been overthinking things. How could something like this without any restrictions attract the Moon Jade Starbeast?
However, as soon as he finished speaking, he heard a rumbling sound coming from underground. It sounded like thunder.
Lu Ye's expression changed. Just as he was about to investigate carefully, the sound had already reached Li Shang's position.
Li Shang's reaction was also very fast. His figure flashed and moved away from where he was standing. The place where he was originally standing was suddenly filled with rubble. A hole suddenly appeared, and a pair of eyes emitted a scarlet light from the hole.
Then, the owner of the scarlet eyes quickly crawled out.
Lu Ye didn't panic because he sensed that it wasn't Yue Yao this time. It was only a late-stage Constellation Realm Star Beast.
When he looked carefully, he found that this thing looked a bit like a pangolin. It was covered in thick scales and looked very tough.
But soon, the corner of Lu Ye's eyes twitched. Because behind this pangolin, another pangolin appeared, and then a third …
In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen pangolins appeared.
"Armadillo Beasts." Li Shang recognized the origin of this Star Beast.
These Armadillo Beasts were all staring at Li Shang's position. To be more precise, they were staring at the bone xun in his hand.
"Throw it to me!" Lu Ye shouted at Li Shang.
Li Shang immediately threw the bone xun to Lu Ye. When Lu Ye caught it, he found that the Armadillo Beasts were indeed looking at his hand!
He was sure that the Yue Yao Star Beast from the previous two times, and this time, the Armadillo Beasts were all attracted by the bone xun.
Lu Ye couldn't help but curse in his heart. What the hell was the Wheel of Fortune doing? Why did it give him such a dangerous thing? Fortunately, he didn't attract any Sunshine Star Beasts. Otherwise, he wouldn't even know how he died. That would be too much of a shame.
But Lu Ye clearly didn't feel any restriction power from the bone xun. It was just like an ordinary musical instrument. Why would it attract Star Beasts?
Unable to figure it out for now, Lu Ye slowly pulled out his Mountain Pan Saber.
He didn't have the ability to resist the Yue Yao Star Beast, but when facing a group of Constellation Realm Star Beasts, he naturally had no reason to retreat.
The Mountain Pan Saber undoubtedly angered the Armadillo Beasts. Strange beastly roars rang out, and the Armadillo Beasts immediately pounced on Lu Ye.
Lu Ye had no intention of dodging. He raised his saber and met the Armadillo Beasts head-on.
Li Shang pounced and attached his soul to Lu Ye's body, greatly increasing his strength.
The Mountain Pan Saber rose and fell, and blood splattered everywhere. The Armadillo Beasts' scales were indeed powerful. They were even stronger than body cultivators. Even with the Mountain Pan Saber enhanced by the Divine Edge, it was difficult to kill them in one strike. At most, it could only leave a few wounds on their bodies.
Lu Ye had to slash at each Armored Armadillo several times before he could kill it.
He was increasingly aware of the inadequacy of his attacks. The last time he fought Yue Yao of the Blood Race, the situation was even worse because his attacks were completely ineffective. In the end, if Li Shang hadn't initiated a soul battle and destroyed his opponent's soul, he really wouldn't have been able to do anything to her in that battle.
The Divine Edge Spirit Tattoo enhanced the Mountain Pan Saber, but it still wasn't enough. Unfortunately, Lu Ye didn't know how to solve this problem.
