Qin Shi took a deep breath and muttered to himself, "Forget it. Since she said that we would meet sooner or later, I'll think about it when the time comes. Right now, the most important thing is to awaken the Serene Court."
Qin Shi didn't dwell on Little Su. However, Little Su's appearance had completely shattered his original worldview. He kept thinking about the "Soul" Hundred Beast Totem. He believed that it was the symbol of an organization.
"Looks like there are still many things I don't know about in this world." Qin Shi shook his head.
"Kid, don't panic. Since she didn't make things difficult for you, she shouldn't be an enemy. It's good to develop first. Who knows, they might become allies in the future." The evil spirit said.
Qin Shi nodded. Since things had come to this, he could only do so.
"Yes, who asked her to be so strong. I'm not at that level yet." Qin Shi laughed self-deprecatingly.
At this time, the prison cell was already in chaos. Hundreds of ferocious demons came over after hearing the news. When they saw the scene in the prison cell, all of their eyes widened. Clearly, they were shocked by the situation in the prison cell. Qin Shi himself knew how bloody the scene was.
Around the prison cell, the ferocious demons of the major groups were all speechless.
"How, how could this be?"
"Hu Ya, Hu Ya's demonic arrow was killed?"
"Who, who did it!" Some of Hu Ya's subordinates were enraged. Their eyes were bloodshot.
"Big Brother, look!"
Suddenly, one of the minion-like ominous demons pointed. All the other ominous demons looked over and frowned.
"They did it?" A few of the ominous demons fixed their gazes on the ominous demon that Qin Shi wanted revenge for.
"Those bastards!
Big Brother Hu Ya usually treats them quite well. How could they do such a heaven-defying thing! "
"Then Big Brother, what should we do?
This person is already dead. We have no way to avenge Big Brother Hu Ya. "
A young ominous demon said to the most experienced ominous demon present. His expression seemed to be in pain, but his voice was filled with indescribable pride.
The corners of the veteran Fiendish Devil's eyes also flickered with a bright light. Now that Hu Ya had been killed, the one to replace Hu Ya's position was undoubtedly him. How could he not be excited?
In fact, Qin Shi had grasped this mentality, which was why he wasn't worried about people suspecting him. When Qin Shi first snuck into this place, he realized that although Hu Ya seemed to be in the limelight most of the time, because of his terrible temper, he had incurred the dissatisfaction of many of the commanders. Some of the commanders had long since wanted to take over his position. This way, Qin Shi could be considered to have helped them unknowingly and given them a chance.
Of course, they still had to keep up appearances. The senior Ominous Demon pretended to squeeze out a few tears, clenched his fists, and angrily said to the Ominous Demon, "No matter what, Big Brother Hu Ya has been kind to us. We can't be ungrateful people. Let's go inform the Snake and Scorpion Demons first, then we'll give Big Brother Hu Ya a proper burial and let him die a good death."
"Yes!"
Hearing this, the ferocious demons retreated.
All of this was seen by Qin Shi, who was not far away. At this moment, the corners of his mouth curled up slightly. "It's about time."
Quietly, he hid in the darkness and followed the Ominous Demons from behind.
Very quickly, they arrived at the place Qin Shi had explored at night, which was where the Dream Ripple Flower grew.
The Ominous Demons paused at the entrance, then sent someone to pass the message in.
After a while, Qin Shi saw two extraordinary-looking Fiendish Demons rush out from the empty ground. They followed a few other Fiendish Demons towards where Hu Ya had died.
After the two left, Qin Shi appeared in front of the tunnel without anyone noticing. "Are those the Snake and Scorpion Demons and the Thousand Poisons Spider?"
After that, he chuckled lightly and flashed into the passageway.
Qin Shi had already observed this passageway from the outside, so he walked into the depths of the passageway with familiarity.
After walking into the depths, Qin Shi frowned and suddenly covered his mouth and nose with his hand. "What a terrifying smell. It can actually disturb one's mind?"
"Yes, the air here is mixed with the fragrance of the Dream Ripple Flower. If one stays here for a long time without drinking the dew of the Dream Ripple Flower, they will fall into a dream like the citizens of the Ghastly Court."
Qin Shi nodded. "This Dream Ripple Flower is truly vicious."
"Actually, this has nothing to do with the Dream Ripple Flower. The Dream Ripple Flower itself is an important medicinal ingredient that can heal wounds to the soul. As for whether it's good or bad, it completely depends on the person who uses it."
Qin Shi agreed with this. There was no true good or evil in the world. These were all imposed by human nature.
As for right and wrong, that was also a personal opinion.
"It's just that the path is blocked." Qin Shi let out a long sigh and quickened his pace. Even he didn't dare to be careless in this place.
After walking to the deepest part of the tunnel, there was a muddy swamp. Qin Shi looked ahead and saw that in the middle of the swamp, there was a clear lake that was a hundred meters wide. The lake water was very clear, and one could see the bottom of the lake at a glance. At the bottom of the lake, there were countless roots intertwining. Looking up along the roots, on the surface of the lake, there was a light purple flower that looked like an epiphyllum. It bloomed luxuriantly, and the fragrance was overwhelming.
Seeing the flower, Qin Shi focused his attention. "Is that the Dream Ripple Flower?"
"It should be, and it looks like we've all guessed wrong. The thing that undid the Dream Manipulation Technique wasn't the dew of the Dream Ripple Flower, but the water of the lake that nurtured the Dream Ripple Flower."
"But that's good too. If it was the dew, it wouldn't be possible to awaken the entire Ghastly Court in a day or two," Qin Shi replied.
"Yes, it's the water of the lake. It's much easier."
Qin Shi didn't say anything else. He gathered his spiritual energy into his feet and soared into the sky. With a few light steps, he directly charged towards the lake in the center of the swamp.
Swish!
Suddenly, there was an air-piercing sound. At this moment, the swamp actually started to bubble like boiling water.
"Roar — —!"
Suddenly, a huge beast thousands of meters tall rose up.
That huge beast was covered in mud and looked extremely disgusting. It let out a series of roars and shot several mud balls at Qin Shi.
Qin Shi's expression changed drastically. He rolled a few times in the air and barely dodged the huge beast's attack.
"Hmph, little bastard, take this!" After dodging the attack, Qin Shi formed a hand seal. "Pagoda Return to One!"
A golden pagoda shot out explosively.
Bang!
The golden pagoda directly hit the huge beast, and a huge hole appeared in its chest.
Then, Qin Shi landed on a stalagmite and looked at the huge beast. "Did you succeed?"
He originally wanted to test the huge beast's strength with this attack, but he didn't expect the huge beast to not dodge at all.
This surprised him.
Unexpectedly, his black eyes widened. The mud inside the huge beast's body flowed, and the huge hole in its chest actually quickly recovered?
"How, how is this possible?" Qin Shi said in a daze.
"This is … the Thousand Mud Beast?" Suddenly, the evil spirit said.
"Thousand Mud Beast?
What's that? "
"The Thousand Mud Beast is a fierce beast that lives in the Devil World. This kind of fierce beast has an extremely strong demonic nature, and it doesn't have flesh or bones. Its entire body is made up of mud, so no matter how you attack it, it won't be injured. It won't even affect its strength because you didn't even hit it."
Hearing this, Qin Shi's expression became gloomy. "How is this possible?
Then doesn't that mean that this guy is invincible? "
"It's not invincible," the evil spirit said. "This Thousand Mud Beast looks huge, but the mud isn't its real body. Its real body is actually very small and is inside its head. As long as you can force its real body out and kill it, it'll be fine."
"Is that so?"
Qin Shi nodded. At first, he was shocked. If he couldn't hit it no matter how he attacked, then he would really be helpless. After all, this guy's body was really too big. If he wanted to ignore it and go around to collect the lake water, it would be impossible.
"Its head?"
However, after knowing the gist of it, things became much simpler. Qin Shi's mouth curled into a cold sneer. Soon after, his phantom image suddenly flashed, and a thousand meters away, leaving behind a ray of light, he directly approached the Thousand Mud Beast's head.
Poof!
Qin Shi fiercely stretched out his hand and reached into the pile of mud. Then, he used his telekinesis on his hand and used his palm to feel the situation around the mud.
Suddenly, he smiled, turned his arm, and forcefully clenched his fist. A palm-sized meatball was forcefully pulled out of the mud.
"Ao!" The meatball separated from the mud and revealed an extremely panicked expression.
Seeing the meatball, Qin Shi couldn't help but laugh. "Hehe, so it's just a small thing?"
"Ao ao ao!" The meatball roared furiously.
However, Qin Shi didn't pay attention to it. His five fingers slightly curled up, and rays of lightning shot out from his palm, forming a lightning net.
"Everything was fine, why did it have to hide in the mud?" Qin Shi didn't understand and shook his head. Soon after, he forcefully clenched his fist.
Bang!
The meatball was directly shattered by the lightning net and exploded into a bloody mist.
"It ended just like that?
Team Pi let this thing guard the Dream Scribble Flower? "The entire process was so easy that it surprised Qin Shi.
He thought that whatever was guarding the Dream Rippling Flower should be an extraordinary Ferocious Beast, right?
Boom!
Unexpectedly, before Qin Shi could react, the entire cave suddenly fell into a violent tremor after the Thousand Muddie Beast was killed.
After a jolt, countless alarms sounded in the cave.
Hearing this, Qin Shi was shocked. "What's going on?"
"Kid, this Thousand Muddie Beast has a Wraith Talisman from Team Pi's body. You just killed it, and that Wraith Talisman combusted. Now, all the Ferocious Demons in the cave should have sensed this change," the sinister devil reminded him.
Qin Shi's eyes were cold. "Damn it, I knew it wouldn't be so simple. I didn't expect it to be waiting for me here."
"Kid, quickly take the lake water and leave. There are thousands of Ferocious Demons in this cave. In addition, the Snake Scorpion and Thousand Poisons Spider are both at the phenomenal Domain Realm. If we wait until they surround this place, it will be difficult for us to leave."
"Okay." This was a serious matter, so Qin Shi didn't dare to be careless. His body flashed and he directly jumped in front of the lake water.
"Withdraw!"
He waved his sleeve, and the lake water formed a whirlpool due to the disturbance of spirit energy. A pillar of water shot out.
