Chapter 374
“You…” Before the person had time to say anything, a cultivator behind him screamed again, then disappeared into the grass instantly.
The cultivator’s expression changed suddenly and he couldn’t hide away his fear at all. They wanted to flee towards Xu Ziyan, but Tianle’s ruthlessness had also frightened them. In the end, they ran towards the other end of the grassland.
Before leaving, the cultivator still uttered some harsh words, like their elders would surely seek justice once they returned. However, such an empty threat was just like a dog’s barking and Xu Ziyan didn’t care about it at all.
After they ran away, Xu Ziyan hurriedly took Xu Zirong and Tianle away. The other group of people obviously wanted to put them into trouble, and although Xu Ziyan had no idea what was behind them, it must have been something horrifying judging from their behavior.
Although there were big differences between nascent soul and golden core cultivators, Xu Ziyan would never easily provoke an unknown creature out of safety concerns.
“What will be chasing them?” Tianle squatted aside, touching his chin and asked.
“Who knows.” Xu Ziyan frowned. Compared with the previous continents, this grassland continent seemed a lot calmer, but he had no idea how many dangerous creatures were underneath.
Just now, he tried to use his divine consciousness to search the nearby area, but he found miraculously that on this continent, his divine consciousness could not go deep under the grass. In other words, if something came out of the grass at this time, he would have no way to notice it.
“Brother…I feel like something is staring at us.” Xu Zirong frowned, as he felt extremely uncomfortable being watched.
“Could it be the same group of people?” Xu Ziyan asked.
“No, this person…” Xu Zirong shook his head, “he doesn’t seem to have any malicious intentions towards us.”
“Forget about him, our goal is to find the light curtain door as soon as possible. No need to make trouble here. ” Xu Ziyan shook his head.
They originally planned to act separately, but Tianle, as a manic, refused to separate from Xu Ziyan no matter what.
And then…
Xu Zirong: == I am not going to bear with this anymore just because we have the same disease. And I can kill you anytime!manhua
Tianle: ╮(╯▽╰)╭Calm down, we’re friends.
Xu Zirong: I will kill you in a minute!
Tianle, don’t be irritated!
Xu Zirong: I’ll kill you!
Xu Zirong: I’ll kill you!
Tianle: _(:3∠)_Ok, you won. You’re sicker than me obviously.
The above was all communicated between Xu Zirong and Tianle through their eye contact only. In the end, maniac no.2 Tianle was beaten by Xu Zirong, and he could only let go of Xu Ziyan’s sleeves reluctantly. He even returned it back to Xu Zirong’s hands.
Xu Ziyan looked at both of them suspiciously and curled his lips. He really didn’t understand why Tianle liked his sleeves so much, as it’s not like he’s a kid who’d get lost easily.
“By the way, those people just now…” Xu Ziyan suddenly recalled those cultivators.
“It’s not those people on the stele island.” Tianle already knew what Xu Ziyan meant and answered already.
“Could there be other realms connected here?”
Tianle didn’t answer, and he had never heard of the Nine Realms Immortal Sect that those people had mentioned, so it’s very likely that Xu Ziyan had the correct speculation.
“Brother, it looks like a tree over there.” Xu Zirong said with a strange expression.
Xu Ziyan looked up from a distance, showing a surprised look.
It was a very tall tree. The canopy stretched out for several miles. In terms of size alone, the tree was slightly smaller than the divine tree inside the fighting tower, but its luxuriant branches and leaves were not inferior to that of the divine tree.
Many branches hung down from the long and thick trunk, and some fruits seemed to have grown under those branches. However, due to the long distance, Xu Ziyan couldn’t see clearly for the time being.
He pondered for a while, “this tree is the most conspicuous in this grassland. Shall we go and see it?”
Tianle glanced at the tree and smiled, “go and have a look if you want to, yet I don’t think things are that simple with that true, you might find something interesting.”
Xu Ziyan: …
He had a bad feeling once he heard Tianle’s comment!
#About the intuition of patients with clinginess disease…#
Xu Zirong also frowned slightly when he heard so, “there is indeed something wrong with that tree. It is obviously based on wooden attributes, but I have the impression that it’s also mixed with other stuff.”
Since he started taking the Five-Elemental Condensation Dew, Xu Zirong’s wooden spiritual roots grew stronger day by day under its nourishment. In turn, his water and earth spiritual roots dried up and became much thinner, and as long as he continued taking it, he’d soon become a cultivator of heavenly wooden spiritual roots.
Under this influence, Xu Zirong had a very sophisticated connection with wooden plants.
This kind of connection was rather vague and empty, even he couldn’t tell where this feeling came from, but it felt so real for him after so many trials.
However, this feeling didn’t usually have any real effects, so Xu Zirong didn’t care about it that much. He was only surprised by this extremely clear consciousness after arriving this place.
“Let’s go and have a look first. Everyone, please be more careful.” Xu Ziyan was very helpless, as he didn’t know where these continental fragments came from. Each of them looked unique and was located in this closed world, and each of them went through a long period of reproduction, nobody knew what kind of monsters they had created.
The three cautiously moved towards the big tree, but the further they walked, the more depressed Xu Ziyan felt without him knowing why.
This feeling of depression was completely opposite to the feelings they had when they were on the grassland full of vitality. He felt that the closer they were to the tree, the closer they were to death.
“Something is indeed quite wrong…” Xu Ziyan became more and more frightened as he approached forward. From a distance, it was clearly an extremely luxurious tree, but the closer he was, the more he could sense death from it.
These two completely opposite feelings were perfectly fused together on the tree, and even Tianle, who’d been through so much in his life, showed a look of surprise.
“Something seems to be there.” Xu Zirong pointed under the tree and said.
Xu Ziyan looked over and saw a large open space under the big tree, and there were some small huts, which seemed to be a large village together.
The village was far behind those ordinary ones for mortals in Xuan Yu realm. These huts were very simplistically built and there was no trace of bricks and tiles in the whole village.
The village seemed very quiet. It didn’t seem like anyone was living there except for a blazing bonfire in the center of it.
“Those houses…don’t they look a bit short?” Tianle asked suspiciously, rubbing his chin.
Xu Ziyan was stunned for a while. He started noticing the huts more – not only were they incredibly simple, but they were as tall as a person only.
According to normal deduction, if the huts were short like this, aren’t those living inside only about half a meter tall?
woo la la la——
With a cry, a group of little men as tall as half a person rushed out from those thatched huts and gathered beside the bonfire.
Xu Ziyan and the others were not close to that village, so those little people did not notice them either.
These little people were incredibly ugly in Xu Ziyan’s eyes. Although they had the same limbs as normal humans, their heads were surprisingly big, and the whole head looked like a sprouting potato. There were also only deep pits where the five organs should have been.
They wore very primitive animal skins. Men only had a skirt made of animal skin and women had an additional tube top made of animal skin. Male and female looked very similar and Xu Ziyan couldn’t really tell their gender.
“They look so disgusting.” Tianle pouted.
Xu Ziyan nodded in agreement with what the maniac had said.
“What are they doing?” Xu Zirong asked curiously.
Xu Ziyan seemed to have noticed something and answered his brother, “they seem to be offering sacrifices judging from their action.”
“Sacrifice?” Xu Zirong was at a loss.
Xu Ziyan then realized that all cultivators were not superstitious people and they all acted against the will of God. They all believed in themselves only, so it wouldn’t be possible for one to offer sacrifice. That’s why this action looked foreign and strange in the eyes of Xu Zirong and Tianle.
He explained to them some of his superficial understanding of sacrifices.
Xu Zirong sneered disdainfully, “so they’re begging God?”
Tianle also sneered and he seemed to look down on this kind of behavior.
Xu Ziyan rolled his eyes helplessly. The living conditions of these little people looked rather backward, and since they didn’t know the meaning of cultivation, it’s entirely normal to be superstitious.
However, he didn’t know that other cultivators might share the same idea. In the eyes of mortals, cultivators were just like immortals, and it’d be way better to cultivate hard instead of chasing that seemingly non-existent “God”!
“Hey, hey, they went to pick that fruit.” Although Tianle sneered at the sacrificial behavior, he couldn’t help watching the fun part.
Xu Ziyan and Xu Zirong also looked over, and there were some little girls, who were wearing tube top made with animal skin, carrying baskets and picking the hanging fruits.
They looked very skillful and managed to pick a whole basket of fruit in a short while, returning to the bonfire.
The group then set up a giant grill over a campfire and skewered a dead body onto it.
Xu Ziyan: …Oh damn!
