Chapter 645 The Place of Gathering Yin
"Waaah." Bai Zi whimpered twice, watching helplessly as Zhong Ran got further and further away, and had no choice but to reluctantly turn her gaze away.
Looking up, she met the man's deep and dangerous eyes. She shuddered, instinctively finding a comfortable position in his arms, and closed her eyes, pretending to sleep.
He's so annoying, he always bullies her.
"There are no magical beasts in these mountains at all. Why are there no magical beasts?"
Ah Sheng walked ahead, but after walking for a long time without seeing a single beast, he couldn't help but mutter to himself.
"It's not that there are no magical beasts, but magical beasts are the most sensitive to danger. When the fire vein here erupted with such a huge commotion, they were all scared away."
The temperature here has also been affected; it should be much higher than before.
Monsters are extremely sensitive to these dangers, except for fire-type monsters.
However, even if there were fire-type magical beasts, they wouldn't dare to approach at this time. After all, so many powerful beings were exploring this area, and they didn't want to encounter humans, so they all hid.
"Does that mean that once we get to the front, it will be all monsters?"
Mu Jinning laughed and said, "That's right, Ah Sheng has learned his lesson. The monsters ahead are definitely the most numerous."
Ah Sheng grinned and said, "Then I'm off."
He strode forward, his pace much faster.
Seeing this, Zhong Ran and the other two quickened their pace to catch up with him and leave.
At dusk, they accidentally stumbled into a snake's nest.
It was a real snake den, filled with enormous pythons, one of which had reached the fourth level.
Ah Sheng didn't mind and charged towards the largest python, saying, "Here I come."
A group of pythons hissed at him, and as he strode in, they turned around in unison and quickly left.
"Stay here!" Ah was furious and quickly chased after them, grabbing the largest snake's tail.
Its waist is as thick as a water bucket; snake meat is firm and delicious.
Moreover, this snake is so long, it's enough for him to eat for two meals.
He had already found out that fourth-tier magical beasts were more common, but fifth-tier and sixth-tier beasts were not so common.
He can't be too picky; he should stock up on more food.
The snake's tail was grabbed, and the giant python suddenly coiled back, trying to quickly kill Ah Sheng.
When Ah Sheng saw it coiling towards him, he loosened one hand, clenched his fist, and punched it in the head.
Sensing danger, the python quickly twisted its body and rebounded from the other side, coiling around him while its tail struggled violently.
"Good heavens!" Ah Sheng exclaimed, grabbing it and slamming it to the ground.
"Ah Sheng, don't break it or we won't have anything to eat." Zhong Yan reminded him with a smile, then looked down at Bai Zi in his arms: "Do you want to eat meat? I'll roast some snake meat for you."
Bai Zi nodded her little head obediently, "I'll go catch it."
She bounced twice in his arms, then rushed out, picked the biggest python, quickly landed on its head, and reached for its eyes with her little claws.
Seeing her grab the snake's eyes, Zhong Ran suddenly remembered something: "Bai Zi, didn't you refine those eyes back then?"
Back in the Great Wilderness Secret Realm, it insisted on gouging out the giant ferocious beast's eyes.
After she came out, I never saw her refine anything again, and I haven't seen her since she took human form.
Bai Zi replied, "I'm still young and can't withstand the power from there."
That was a colossal beast. Even just its two eyes exuded immense pressure and power, which she couldn't withstand yet. Otherwise, she would have already taken the time to refine it.
Zhong Ran didn't say anything more. She was about to rush out to help, but Zhong Yan was one step ahead of her. He darted to the giant snake's side, controlled his strength, and punched the snake's head, knocking it unconscious.
After storing the snake's corpse in his spatial storage, he looked over there and saw that Ah Sheng had also killed and stored the giant python.
The other pythons ran away, and Ah Sheng had no interest in chasing them.
The four of them ate some of the food they had packed earlier and then continued on their way, much faster than before.
On the fifth day, they entered a shady place.
"Why is it so cold here? Something feels off." Mu Jinning's divine sense spread outwards and discovered that the yin energy was gathered in a mountain hollow, which made her curious.
"It's actually a place where yin energy gathers? That's quite interesting."
Zhong Ran also noticed: "A place where yin energy gathers? Is it because too many people died unjustly? How come there are so many corpses in these places?"
The three exchanged a glance and said in unison, "A heretical place for refining corpses?"
Some heretical paths rely on refining the essence and blood of others for cultivation, while others rely on these underhanded methods.
There are people who cultivate from remnant souls and corpses, relying on these evil and crooked methods.
Moreover, they often dare not see people and hide in the deep mountains and forests.
"Let's go take a look." Mu Jinning took Zhong Ran's hand and strode over there.
Ah Sheng followed closely behind, habitually walking forward.
Zhong Yan followed, carrying Bai Zi. Ah Sheng, that silly boy, would probably suffer if he encountered some evil or unorthodox methods.
Before even getting close to the valley, wisps of dark gray mist swirled around them, obscuring the view.
Zhong Yan told A Sheng to stop, and he went forward himself, casually tossing Bai Zi into his spatial storage.
As he circulated his cultivation technique, the gray mist formed by the yin energy was swallowed up, and the surroundings quickly returned to clarity.
A footstep sounded, and all four of them stopped.
Sure enough, there was someone.
“It’s not a person.” Zhong Ran’s expression turned grim when she saw the ‘person’ that came out. “That’s not a person, it’s a corpse.”
A corpse that has been refined by humans.
"He was at least a Void Refinement Realm expert in life, yet he was turned into a puppet."
"Looks like we've met a strong opponent." Mu Jinning twirled her fist and turned to Zhong Ran: "Ranran, shall we charge together?"
"Very well, an unorthodox path? Let's have a proper look at it."
They hadn't really encountered any evil paths; their cultivation had been going smoothly for a long time, mostly within the city.
They had heard that geniuses from both the demonic and evil paths wanted to hunt them down, and they were mentally prepared for this, but they didn't expect to encounter these veterans before they even met any geniuses.
A heretical cultivator who can create a Void Refinement Realm puppet must at least be a Grandmaster, right?
The puppet had already reached the outside and spoke in a hoarse voice: "Master requests your presence."
The three exchanged a glance. They were actually being invited to go?
"Lead the way." Skill breeds boldness.
Zhong Yanxian immediately walked forward, and the puppet turned around and walked away, moving even faster.
Zhong Ran took a few steps forward and transmitted her voice through spiritual energy: "There is an array in here, so stay close to me."
Since they knew someone was coming, they didn't come out themselves, but sent out a high-level puppet, firstly to guide the way, and secondly as a warning.
There's a maze of at least level five inside; once you're trapped inside, it's hard to say when you'll be able to get out.
Zhong Ran did not follow the puppet. He was obeying his master, and leading them away at this time would not be the right path.
The puppet realized they weren't following behind it and reached out to grab Zhong Ran.
The master loved her dearly, a delicate little girl.
