Xu Chunniang glanced at her in some confusion and was about to put the wine away when a fat hand reached out and snatched the wine jug away.
Kong Huanle laughed happily and said, "It doesn't matter. If she doesn't want it, I will. In the future, if Senior Sister Fu doesn't want anything, you can give it to me."
Fu Yunshan looked at Kong Huan's smiling face, and felt even more upset.
If she had known this would be the case, she might as well have accepted it!
Xu Chunniang held the formation talisman in her hand and sent a stream of spiritual energy into it, sending the talisman into the opening of the water-avoiding formation.
The originally integrated formation swayed slightly after coming into contact with the formation talisman, revealing a hole that was only wide enough for one person to pass through.
Xu Chunniang stepped in first, and after everyone entered the formation, she drove the formation talisman towards the life gate and led several people out from another exit of the formation.
However, hidden beneath the water-proof formation was a huge black sphere.
It is unknown what material this sphere is made of. Only a small part in the middle is pure white. It does not look like a cultivator's cave at all.
Several people looked at each other, and finally turned their eyes to Kong Huan.
Kong Huan looked embarrassed. "Don't look at me. I don't know what this jade slip my master gave me is."
He tentatively scanned the strange sphere with his spiritual sense, but before he could get close, he encountered some kind of barrier and his spiritual sense was bounced back.
Kong Huan's action seemed to trigger a switch, and the black ball suddenly began to spin violently.
Xu Chunniang had a very ominous premonition in her heart. Being around the black sphere, she had the illusion that she was being stared at by a giant beast.
Zhuge Yun also realized that something was wrong, and his face became more serious. "This place is weird, let's leave first..."
Before he finished speaking, the pure white part of the black sphere suddenly emitted a strange white light and swept towards where the four people were.
A white light flashed, and the black sphere slowly calmed down and returned to calm.
Only the four people who were still standing there just now disappeared.
When the white light swept over, Xu Chunniang felt a tremendous suction force. She resisted with all her strength, but still couldn't stop the suction force.
After the suction subsided, she found herself leaving the bottom of the lake and in a new space.
Fortunately, the suction did not separate the four people. Xu Chunniang used her spiritual sense to scan and soon found the other three people not far away.
The faces of several people were not looking good. No one would be in a good mood if they were inexplicably dragged into an unknown space.
Kong Huan touched his nose awkwardly and looked around.
"Could it be that this place is the space created by that strange black ball?"
"It shouldn't be that simple. The black ball might be the portal to this space."
Zhuge Yun shook his head. He had just released his spiritual sense to explore and found that this place was very vast.
Although the black ball has some magical properties, it may not be able to open up such a large space.
He casually picked up a fly from the grass, and lightly crushed it with his fingertips, and the fragile fly scattered like dust.
"The spiritual energy here is extremely thin, and there is not even a trace of spiritual energy in the flies. Since such fragile flies can survive, perhaps the situation is not as bad as we thought."
Xu Chunniang looked thoughtful, her eyes falling on Kong Huan, "When your master handed the jade slip to you, did he say anything?"
Kong Huan scratched his head and shook his head silently under the gazes of several people.
He really thought that the jade slip that his master gave him casually was the cave of a foundation-building cultivator.
The other three looked at each other and had a deeper understanding of Mo Jinji's unreliability.
Zhuge Yun withdrew his gaze and took the lead to walk forward in one direction.
"Since we can't leave, let's explore the surroundings. The situation here is unknown, so we might cause trouble. Don't fly the sword for now."
The few of them quickly adjusted their mindsets and followed Zhuge Yun.
After walking for an hour, Xu Chunniang noticed something, "There seems to be someone ahead, a mortal with no cultivation!"
A few people looked at each other and decided to go over and take a look at the situation.
In this space, a mortal with no cultivation suddenly appeared, looking suspicious no matter how you looked at him.
In order to avoid scaring the peasant woman, Xu Chunniang asked the other three to stay away and went forward alone to negotiate with the man.
"Or I'll go."
Fu Yunshan said hesitantly, "After all, I have a higher level of cultivation than you, so it is easier for me to deal with emergencies. Who knows if that person is a cultivator in disguise?"
Xu Chunniang shook her head. After spending time with them, she already knew that Fu Yunshan and Zhuge Yun were both from cultivation families.
Even Kong Huan entered the inner sect of Xiaoyao Sect at a very young age and had little contact with the mortal world.
"I'd better let me go. I'm more familiar with the mundane world."
After Xu Chunniang finished speaking, she walked towards the man.
The other three people waited there, ready to take action at any time. They were relieved to see Xu Chunniang return safely.
"How is it, have you found out any information?"
Xu Chunniang nodded, "Have you heard of the Thousand-Eyed Divine Beast?"
After asking this question, she told the news she had just received, and finally added, "Every time the peasant woman said two words, she would thank the Thousand-Eyed Divine Beast devoutly."
Zhuge Yun thought of something and his expression turned colder.
"I do know of a kind of evil-eyed beast, also known as the Thousand-Eyed Beast, which fits the description you just gave. But this kind of monster seems to have long been extinct in the Qianluo Realm."
It is said that this evil beast is elusive and has unpredictable abilities. Even a True Lord Yuanying cannot get away with it.
Because it has so many eyes, it is also called the "Thousand-Eyed Beast".
Several people looked at each other. Could it be that the thousand-eyed beast that the peasant woman mentioned was the evil-eyed beast that had long been extinct
Xu Chunniang's face froze, "Do you think that the black ball you saw before looks like an eye?"
After she said this, the others also realized that the thing that sucked them in was most likely the eye of the evil-eyed beast.
Their faces suddenly turned ugly. The evil-eyed beast's eye alone had such unfathomable power. God only knew how powerful its body was.
Xu Chunniang took a deep breath and suppressed her thoughts.
"We haven't encountered the evil-eyed beast yet, so there's no need to scare ourselves. The peasant woman just now had no skills, but she was able to live well here, so we may not be in any trouble either."
"Junior Sister Xu is right. Since the peasant woman mentioned that there is a city of monks in the south, let's go to the south first."
The group quickened their pace and headed south.
The further south you go, the more mortals you encounter on the road. At first, there are only some small villages, then slowly you come across some towns, and finally, there is even a capital.
Regardless of their status, all of these mortals believe in the Thousand-Eyed Divine Beast.
After arriving at the capital, they soon discovered traces of other monks.
The cultivation level of these monks is low, they are only in the Qi training stage, and they appear to be getting along well with the mortals around them.
