Such a huge demon beast or fairy beast, apart from other things, its size alone represents unparalleled oppression and destructive power, and it can fly. In addition to its special talents and magical powers, its spiritual energy and magic power must be good as well.
Even with Ji Yuan's current level of cultivation and concentration, he still couldn't help but mutter to himself when he saw the Sky-Devouring Beast.
"The Sky-Swallowing Beast... looks a bit like Kun..."
Ji Yuan had certainly never seen what a real Kun looked like, but with its appearance that had some characteristics of aquatic fish, its huge size, and the name "Sky-Swallowing", how could he not think of Kun.
And then again, in his previous life, Ji Yuan was bombarded with online advertisements for the "Yang Kun Game" for a period of time. To be honest, at a certain angle and at a certain moment, they looked quite similar to some of the pictures on the web page.
Ji Yuan's mumbling was of course heard by Ju Yuanzi, who hesitated and asked again.
"Mr. Ji, what is Kun? Is it also a giant monster?"
Ji Yuan nodded.
"I guess so. It's a big fish."
Many people around shouted in surprise and excitement. Most of them were mortals, but there were also many cultivators. Even if some of them were not seeing the Sky-Devouring Beast for the first time, they were still excited.
A little further away from Ji Yuan and the others, in front of a building made of green bricks and glazed tiles, a group of people were sitting on the ground paralyzed by the Sky-Devouring Beast that had just appeared.
"Uncle, uncle... what is that..."
"Me too, I don't know either!"
"Oh, that's scary!" "I almost peed my pants!"
…
Although a young cultivator nearby was also shocked by the passage of the Sky-Devouring Beast, he was also amused by seeing them like this.
"Hurry up, hurry up. Look at you. This is a fairy beast from the fairy family. There are special fairies looking after it. It won't hurt anyone."
A young man stared at the monk blankly and asked a question.
"If this thing takes one bite, will the people of the whole city be enough for it to eat?"
"He can survive by absorbing spiritual energy. Even if he eats, he only eats some evil monsters, not mortals."
The young monk patiently explained that he was responsible for picking up these six people. He had been waiting for a while but no one showed up, so he was thinking about going to Zenan Country. Today, he saw them coming.
I heard from the six of them that they almost couldn't get in because their ancestors lost the token, and they were brought in by some immortal cultivators they met on the road.
There were people nearby who had been watching them. Although the legs of the people on the ground were still a little weak, they quickly stood up. After all, this was the Immortal Ferry, and they didn't dare to act rashly.
"This old ancestor, we..."
The middle-aged man was interrupted before he could finish his words.
"I've told you so many times, I'm not your ancestor, I'm not much older than you, I'm just helping my uncle to pick you up..."
The young monk was once again at a loss whether to laugh or cry. When this group of people first arrived, he went over to greet them, but they actually knelt down and kowtowed to him, shouting "Greetings, ancestors" together, which completely confused him.
Hearing what the young monk said, the middle-aged man realized that he had made another slip of the tongue and quickly corrected himself.
“Yes, yes, Immortal, I want to ask…” “Gu~~~~~~~”
The middle-aged man hadn't said what he wanted to ask yet, but his stomach seemed to have spoken for him. Then the stomachs of the five young boys and girls next to him also started to growl.
“Gu~~~~~” “Gu~~~~~”
…
"Uh, well, I just wanted to ask..."
“Hahahahahaha… mortals are really interesting. It turns out that when people are hungry, their stomachs can growl so loudly. Hahahahahaha…”
Suddenly, there was an exaggerated laugh coming from the side. A man who also looked like a teenager, holding a peach branch in his hand, was laughing not far away. The peach branch in his hand was shaking as he laughed.
The young monk next to the middle-aged man bowed and saluted.
"My fellow Taoist, these are my uncle's descendants. Please forgive me if I am being disrespectful!"
Having said that, the young monk said to the six people.
"Traveling in the mountains takes a lot of energy. You must be hungry. I'll take you to eat. Come with me!"
After saying this, the young monk took the lead and took action. The other six naturally followed closely. They knew that in a place like this, they had to follow the person in front closely. If they got lost, no one knew what would happen.
The young man holding the peach branch stopped laughing and did not return the greeting to the young monk. He just watched them go away. While his eyes were still following them, he was suddenly startled by something else and immediately turned to look in another direction.
At this moment, in a trance, the young man holding the peach branch seemed to see an illusion. In the darkness, there were ripples on the water and then calmed down. A bright moon appeared in it, and then the illusion disappeared. The focus of his vision was a pair of gray eyes looking over.
A group of immortal cultivators were strolling towards the blue brick and glazed tile building here. The young man holding the peach branch withdrew his gaze and quickly walked away to the side.
Ju Yuanzi also glanced at the young man who was leaving, and then looked at the blue brick building not far away.
"Mr. Ji, that is the place to check the boundary ferry. Some ferries will have messages sent before they arrive, so people can know in advance. Some are fixed at a certain time period in the four seasons. This place has changed a lot, but this building has not changed."
"Well, let's go check it out!"
After seeing the Sky-Devouring Beast passing through, Ji Yuan was not in a hurry to go to the outer peak fairy port to watch the peep show, because with his magic eyes, he could see the Sky-Devouring Beast floating in the air through the fog with just a glance. Instead, he had a strong interest in other ferry creatures, so he came here to recognize them and make a registration "reservation".
Before stepping into the building with blue bricks and glazed tiles, Ji Yuan withdrew his gaze from the distance. He clearly could no longer see the young man holding the peach branch, but it seemed as if his sight could still follow him.
Until Ji Yuan's gaze moved away from him, the young man who was walking in a twisted way in the distance seemed to feel a pressure go away, and he breathed a sigh of relief.
"My god, where did this old monster come from!"
On the other side, the young cultivator walked for a while with the six people from the Yan and Zong families, and arrived in front of a restaurant opened by a mortal. He turned around and looked around a little further away, but didn't see anything. Then he smiled again and looked at the people behind him.
"Come in and eat. I think the food here is delicious and it will definitely suit your taste!"
The six people looked up at this very upscale restaurant, hesitated for a moment, and followed the young monk in. After all, they would not be unable to pay the bill if they were dining with an immortal.
Perhaps they were extremely hungry. After the food was served, the six asked the young monk and then began to wolf it down at the table for eight people. They were not reserved at all and ate with great grunts, shouting that it was enjoying the food.
"Looking at how hungry you are, the two Taoist friends who brought you in before must have helped you secretly, otherwise you would not be able to climb to the top of the mountain."
"Hmm, delicious... yes, yes, gulp... then..."
"Eat your food peacefully, swallow it down and then talk."
"Okay... Gulu, you eat too, Immortal!"
"Okay, okay, I'll eat too..."
The young monk politely stretched out his chopsticks, picked up a few pieces of vegetables and a piece of meat and put them into his mouth, then took a sip of the glass. He subconsciously looked back outside the restaurant with a thoughtful look on his face.
When I looked back after a long time, some of the food on the table had disappeared as if by magic.
"By the way, Immortal, what was wrong with that man just now? I saw you saw him looking at us, so you quickly took us away."
A girl swallowed the chicken in her mouth and drank a mouthful of soup, then asked carefully, which made the young monk look at her more. She nodded and whispered.
"Indeed, this bustling Summit Ferry is actually a mixed bag of people. It is safe most of the time, but one must be on guard against others. Although I couldn't see through the young man just now, I knew he was definitely not a human. From the moment I met his eyes, I had a strange feeling. Although it was fleeting, I couldn't be mistaken."
When they heard that it was not a human, the six people slowed down their actions, and some even showed a trace of fear, naturally thinking of something bad.
"Remember, in places like this, most of the people who hang around in the form of monsters won't do anything radical. On the contrary, those who look extremely perfect may be hiding some bad guys, and some of them may occasionally lose their minds..."
"Oh, that's how it is!"
"Okay, don't worry, I'm here. Just follow me closely. We won't leave Dingfeng Ferry. We'll take the flying boat to Hengzhou and go straight to Uncle Master."
…
"After looking at it, I think this Sky-Swallowing Beast is the most imposing. If it opens its mouth to eat, how much food can it eat in one bite?"
Yu Huaishan and his party came out of the house with blue bricks and glazed tiles. One of the young disciples said this jokingly, and Wei Yuansheng beside him also interrupted.
"I have a large horse farm in my secular home. I dare say that a thousand horses in it are not enough for the Sky-Swallowing Beast to eat in one go!"
Ji Yuan and Ju Yuanzi were walking in the front and in the middle. Although Ji Yuan didn't say anything, he was listening to the jokes and discussions of the people behind him. However, when he looked up, he met a group of women head-on.
Some of these women carried swords on their backs, some held swords in their hands, some had whisks in their hands, some had veils on their faces, and some had their long hair in buns. There was an air of elegance as they walked.
The leading woman was holding a whisk, her hair was waist-length, and both sides of her hair were wrapped with red silk headbands, which also hung down to her feet. She looked pretty, but in fact she was a very accomplished Taoist.
“Mr. Ji, they are all fellow Taoists from the Weimei Sect. There are few men who don’t like to socialize with others in the cultivation world.”
Ju Yuanzi whispered something to Ji Yuan, who nodded subconsciously without looking away. The two groups just passed each other without saying hello to each other.
When the people from Yu Huaishan were looking at the people from Weimei Sect, the women over there were also looking at Yu Huaishan and his party. Some of them glanced at the jade pendants on the waists of the people from Yu Huaishan and already knew which side they belonged to.
"Master, they are all from Yu Huaishan. Well, the one with the weird eyes doesn't have a jade pendant."
A woman spoke to the female cultivator in front of her using the method of voice transmission. When the latter nodded slightly, she keenly discovered that when the younger generation in the sect said "weird eyes", the gentleman in green shirt glanced slightly, smiled, and left with Yu Huaishan and his party.
