Asked About The World Of Mortals

Chapter 61: Chaotic Dance of Demons

In this world, ordinary people would not come up with an idea like Qin Yi's, because Qin Yi has Liu Su and the method of immortality right in front of him, easily within reach. Unlike many people who desperately seek the path to immortality, they would brave any danger, even the most treacherous situations, for a chance at immortality, let alone a little desolation.

The skeletal sea they had crossed before, regardless of whether you agree or disagree with the so-called "evergreen bones," at the very least proves that there must be an "immortal" residing here who understands various magical arts, or there are related ruins.

This is the path to immortality.

Qin Yi can discuss the matter like an advertisement for hair growth products, but few others can maintain a calm mind in the face of the path to immortality.

"In that case, the skeletal sea ahead might not necessarily be a gatekeeper, but rather a display of Immortal Law, attracting people to continue forward," Qin Yi pondered. "Is this a way for the Immortal Cultivation World to find worthy successors? If we don't proceed further, would this inscription be a gift of fate?"

Liu Su said, "Indeed, there are those who adopt such pretentious methods, and some people particularly enjoy playing games and setting various tests. But doing it in a place like this would only be for self-amusement, right? It would be a miracle if even one person saw it, let alone someone like Donghua Zi who accidentally fell down here."

"Based on this, the skeletal sea ahead is either a demonic refining formation or a curse. Donghua Zi's ability to pass three trials is probably the limit," Qin Yi suddenly reached out and grabbed Ye Ling, who was about to retreat. "I'm focusing on the stone tablet, not a stick. What's with that expression on your face?"

"N-No, it's not..." Ye Ling swallowed nervously. "I have a very familiar feeling ahead, and I'm scared."

The demonic refining formation, without a doubt.

Qin Yi squatted in front of Ye Ling and said softly, "The demonic refining formation is just a trashy evil formation. If you can break it once, you can break it a second time. What's there to fear?"

Ye Ling said, "But this formation is definitely stronger than the one Donghua Zi faced."

"But this time, I'm here," Qin Yi paused, feeling like he had heard this before. Could it be that he was a burden and that's why she was slightly weaker than this formation?

Ye Ling replied, "Then I'll follow behind you. If anything happens, I'll run away..."

Qin Yi could only say, "You have to believe that you are even stronger than the owner of this place. In a place where even Donghua Zi could leave, how strong could it be?"

Ye Ling knew it wasn't that simple, because Donghua Zi would never continue to throw his life away in a truly dangerous place, but they might. After all, their goal was to find a solution, not to sightsee.

After hesitating for a moment, Ye Ling reached out her small hand and said, "Let me use the Giant Transformation Talisman again."

"...I don't have any left, there's only one. Who would make so many useless ones?"

"But I feel like out of all your talismans, this one is the most useful."

Qin Yi remained expressionless. "If it's truly powerful and not just for show, then I agree with your point."

Ye Ling's eyes sparkled. "Are there any truly powerful ones?"

"Yes, but I can't make them right now." Qin Yi explained excitedly, "Once I practice more and reach Foundation Building, I'll probably be able to..."

Liu Su sighed. "I have to say, are you taking a child out for a walk? You have the appropriate level of suppression and nervousness for an adventure, don't you?"

"Cough, cough." Qin Yi suddenly realized and grabbed Ye Ling's hand. "Let's go, no matter what formation it is, Uncle will smash it to pieces."

"I heard you're only sixteen years old, yet you shamelessly call yourself Uncle all the time."

"If I don't call myself Uncle, then what should I call myself?"

Ye Ling replied naturally, "Big brother."

Qin Yi blinked his eyes. "Say it again."

"Brother."

Qin Yi's heart blossomed with joy, and his steps became lighter.

Liu Su really wanted to smash the heads of these two dogs.

So it did.

The wolf-toothed club was held in Qin Yi's right hand, quietly folding back, as if it was going to strike Qin Yi's buttocks.

Qin Yi didn't notice that his right hand had been moved, and his expression suddenly became serious. He stopped and said, "Ye Ling, do you smell it?"

Liu Su's movement came to a halt, with the wolf teeth on the club less than half an inch away from Qin Yi's buttocks.

Ye Ling sniffed, "I smell something fishy."

There was no mountain path on this mountain, and the two of them were walking up a slope without a mountain trail. They had probably gone a long way. The mountain wind blew, and the air became increasingly strange. It had a fishy smell mixed with the stench of blood and the odor of wild beasts. Although it was faint and far away, it was still unpleasant.

It became more and more unbearable.

Faint roars could be heard from a distance. Ye Ling listened carefully and whispered, "We'll go around to the other side of the mountain."

Qin Yi quickened his pace.

As he moved, the wolf tooth pricked him, and he quickly retracted it.

"Hiss..." Qin Yi's attention was drawn to the situation behind the mountain. He thought it was just his carelessness and continued walking, feeling unlucky as he held the club.

Liu Su felt completely at ease, completely forgetting that they were on an adventure and not on an outing.

The hill looked small, but it seemed quite large when they ran. When Qin Yi and Ye Ling panted their way around to the back, the scene before them made them gasp, even Liu Su became serious.

On the vast slope ahead, countless monsters were fighting. There were foxes with two tails, giant wolves with three eyes, eagles with four claws, centipedes thicker than snakes, mosquitoes bigger than balls, flowers with petals like giant mouths, and trees with branches like tentacles... Birds, beasts, insects, and plants were all present in a dazzling array.

This was not a grand exhibition of the monster world, but a great battle. The corpses were strewn all over, and blood flowed down the slope, converging into a river and falling into a deep pit, forming a terrifying blood pool. In the blood pool, there was a black lotus blooming quietly.

But the monsters were not fighting for the lotus. On the contrary, they seemed to be avoiding it. The direction they were fighting towards was a giant tree. The tree was bare without leaves, but at the top of the highest branch, there was a peach.

A four-clawed eagle swooped down, heading straight for the peach. Several thick arrows shot from below, piercing its chest, and the eagle screamed as it fell from a distance. Following the direction of the arrows, a hedgehog, as big as an elephant, was laughing strangely.

Ye Ling watched the scene without blinking, eagerly searching for her kind. After a while, she sighed with some disappointment.

There were snakes, and there were quite a few species, including giant pythons much thicker than her, but none of them had wings.

Qin Yi remained vigilant, pulling Ye Ling to hide behind a rock, not daring to get too close. There were so many monsters, and each one was strong in his perception... In this place, it was impossible to distinguish whether they were using Spirit Communication or Body Transformation, because even monsters above Body Transformation wouldn't use human form to do things here. They all used their true forms.

In other words, every one of the thousands of monsters fighting here was at least as strong as himself, and the powerful ones were comparable to Ye Ling...

If they were to barge in, they would be giving themselves away.

It would be better to observe and see what the result of their self-destruction would be.

Just as he was thinking this, a small grass slowly grew out of the sand behind Ye Ling, gradually growing bigger. The grass took on the appearance of a human face and grinned wickedly.
