The green tea gave off a cold aura. The abyss race was complex and strange. It was hard to tell whether they were friends or foes. The four raised their cups to their lips but didn't drink.
Luo Kai smelled the fragrance of the green oily tea and unconsciously swallowed his saliva. He had an urge to drink it. He felt his blood heat up, and his red blood cells became much more active. It was as if they were telling him to drink. This was the first time the Saint Blood Worm had sent him a signal after fusing with his blood cells.
He felt strange. In the past, the sacred blood worm seemed to have submitted to his will. It quietly became a part of his body, never affecting his body's operation. It also didn't do anything that affected his judgment. This was the first time.
The silhouette seemed to chuckle and took a sip of tea. The oily green tea quickly dissolved in his body. A somewhat neutral voice sounded, "No humans have set foot in the Yin Spirit Mountain Stream for hundreds of years. My friend from the Three-Eyed Race is right. In fact, the Abyss Race also evolved from humans. There is no conflict between the two races. Instead, we have a common enemy in the form of ferocious beasts."
Then his voice changed. "Do you know why the Inviting Moon Willow is called Inviting Moon Willow?"
Without waiting for them to speak, he continued. "We came from an abyss city called Nether Moon. The roots of the Inviting Moon Willow are deeply planted in Nether Moon City, so it is called Inviting Moon Willow. It destroyed the energy supply of Nether Moon City, so we joined forces with humans."
At this point, the figure sighed. "We paid a huge price to destroy the roots of the Inviting Moon Willow. The reason why humans were able to kill a high-level Direbeast like the Inviting Moon Willow was because we abyss race played a decisive role. Later, you humans betrayed us and took away the body of the Inviting Moon Willow, leaving only the roots."
Su Chengbo and the other two didn't expect the circumstances of killing the Inviting Moon Willow to be like this. They couldn't help but feel a little embarrassed.
The ranks of the Direbeasts corresponded to that of the human body cultivators. Every rank was divided into beginner, intermediate, and advanced. Every time a Direbeast crossed a small rank, its strength would increase exponentially. For example, the two Direbeasts that appeared in Seongma Province were only beginner complete Direbeasts, which were not something that humans could contend against. As for advanced complete complete Direbeasts, they were several times or even dozens of times more terrifying than them. It was indeed impossible for a few physical cultivators to kill them.
"Alright, let's not talk about the past. You've all come here to collect the remnant roots of the Soliciting Moon Willow. That's why we're staying here. To be honest, we've already collected most of the roots hidden underground. Only a small portion is left in the Celestial Willow Mountains. This small portion of the roots still contains the remnant will of the Soliciting Moon Willow. Moreover, it has evolved and gained the ability to control darkness energy.
Su Chengbo stood up and said, "May I know your name?"
The figure knew what he meant and smiled: "My name is Lin Chenghua, we Abyssal race are different from humans, we no longer differentiate between genders"
"If you're interested, please follow me. Let's work together to collect this remnant root." The figure floated up gently and vaguely seemed to be making an inviting gesture.
The four of them looked at each other. Just as they were about to follow, Luo Kai suddenly said, "May I ask if you Abyssal race drink blood?"
The figure stopped in front of them and sounded slightly surprised: "Why do you say that, little friend?"
Luo Kai pointed at the cups of tea: "This should be the blood of an unknown creature, or should I say, the body fluid."
As soon as he finished speaking, Su Chengbo and the other two's expressions changed. They all realized that something was wrong. Tuoba Ye suddenly pulled out the heavy mace on his back and swung it at the figure while cursing: "Damn old man, we've traveled extensively for so many years, we've seen all kinds of tricks. How dare you try to poison us!"
"Boom!" Tuoba Ye's mace hit nothing but air. It only made a big hole in the wall next to the figure.
Su Chengbo also snorted coldly. His body lit up with a dazzling white light. The surrounding buildings quickly aged under the white light. The ground was covered with a thick layer of dust, the beams were covered with spider webs, and the tables and chairs were all turned into piles of rotten wood. Everything that happened just now was just an illusion.
At the same time, a thick fog rose up around them. The ubiquitous dark energy attacked them again, this time even more fiercely. It was like a cold knife that cut their skin painfully.
The few of them quickly activated their protective energy. Luo Kai also put on the cocoon again. This fog was exactly the same as the one he encountered on the fog. Not only could it block perception, but it could also make people lose their sense of space.
"Hehe … Very good, today's pig is very smart. I'll play with you." A sinister laughter sounded in the fog.
Tuoba Ye cursed and was about to rush into the fog to chase after the figure. Luo Kai quickly stopped him and said, "Be careful, this fog can block perception."
Su Chengbo said in a deep voice, "That's right, we can't split up."
At this time, skeletal claws suddenly stretched out from the ground and grabbed at them.
Tuoba Ye stomped his foot angrily. His stomp was extremely powerful. Not only did it crush the skeleton's claws, but it also created a few cracks in the ground. There were actually countless skeletons in the ground. Most of them were human, but there were also a few animal skeletons. They made a series of strange squeaking sounds as they broke free from the ground and tried to grab them.
The white light on Su Chengbo's body became even brighter. The dark creatures on the ground continuously turned into green smoke. A large part of the dense fog was also cleared. They could vaguely see many translucent figures floating in the fog.
The first thing Luo Kai saw was the little girl. She was completely different from the obedient girl from before. Her skin was green, and her eyes were red. She was staring at them with bloodthirsty eyes.
The fog quickly closed up again, and countless dark creatures rushed over.
"Follow me and rush out!"
Su Chengbo activated his light energy and brandished his sword that was emitting a scorching white light. He took the lead and rushed into the fog. The others hurriedly followed. The four of them were like bulldozers pushing forward in the fog filled with dark creatures.
Waves of shrill screams could be heard, and sizzling sounds could be heard. The surrounding dark creatures were quickly melted under the scorching white light, turning into wisps of green smoke.
The golden light on Tuoba Ye's body became more and more intense. No one dared to look at him directly. He passed by Su Chengbo and became the vanguard. The long axe in his hand became a dazzling ball of light.
Xi Jinghui controlled the water molecules to form a green waterspout that surrounded the four of them. The dark creatures that got close to them were all crushed.
When the three physical masters attacked with all their strength, Luo Kai had nothing to do. He could only use his perception to search for traces of the abyssal clansmen.
Several abyssal clansmen were hidden in the fog. When they saw the four of them killing the dark creatures, their red eyes revealed shock.
"Grandma, these humans are too powerful. Why don't we leave?"
"Three of them are physical masters of the human race. None of them is weaker than me. Unfortunately, if they had drunk the blood of the rotten dragon just now, they wouldn't have to go through so much trouble. But it doesn't matter. The dark creatures in this Yin Spirit Mountain Stream are endless. The dark energy will accelerate the consumption of their protective energy. When their energy is exhausted, they will die!"
