The visibility here has become quite low. The lush green forest blocks out most of the sunlight, with only a few scattered patches and some fluorescent plants emitting a faint glow.
If nothing unexpected happens, he has completely broken away from the periphery and reached the outer circle.
Within a radius of a hundred meters, almost all the soul beasts were frightened away by the oppressive aura of Xiong Jun and Chi Wang. Only the energy source remained quietly underground. If Su Chen hadn't possessed the Byakugan, which allowed him to see through and perceive the flow of energy, he might not have been able to detect its existence.
After all, from a sensory perspective, there was nothing in that area.
"What on earth is this thing?"
The boy, who had transformed into a wooden stake, frowned inwardly.
The sheer magnitude of this energy was the highest he had ever seen, surpassing even the power of Xiong Jun and Chi Wang!
In Bai Yan's view, he was like a blazing sun.
Strangely, Su Chen could not sense any threat from it.
"His energy index surpasses that of Bear King and Crimson King, yet his combat power is inferior to that of a thousand-year-old soul beast? What the hell?"
Su Chen's expression was strange.
The fact that these two completely contradictory characteristics could be combined in one organism is undeniably intriguing to the young scholar.
If the situation weren't so critical, Su Chen would definitely have tried to cut off a piece to study it.
Unfortunately, we can only come back another time; in this situation, it's not suitable to cause any further trouble.
The boy shook his head, rolled twice, and then suddenly stopped.
That's not right!
It possesses the ability to conceal itself even from the Bear King and the Red King, a huge energy source, and low combat power.
Isn't this tailor-made for my current situation?
Boom!
As the smoke rose, Su Chen transformed from a wooden stake into a little rabbit, hopping and skipping towards his destination.
Those bloodshot eyes were filled with a burning passion.
"Strange, why do I have this feeling of being watched?"
Deep underground, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm, which was tumbling around in pleasure, suddenly shivered.
Just now, he seemed to feel a gaze full of malice.
However, a mental scan revealed nothing.
Aside from the two menacing giants on the edge, even the nearest soul beasts were scared back to within a kilometer.
As for the little rabbit, he subconsciously ignored it.
"Phew, that explains it. How could my flawless disguise have been discovered?"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm breathed a sigh of relief, its round body sliding around happily.
It's not an exaggeration to say that in terms of mental strength and stealth ability, even those monsters in the most dangerous places are not as good as him.
Want to find it, Tianmeng?
Unless you have X-ray vision!
"But haven't Xiong Jun and Chi Wang returned yet?"
It cautiously continued to release its spiritual energy, examining the edges of the area. "Truly worthy of being my savior, Tianmeng! It's amazing how long it's been able to hold out!"
However, even so, Tianmeng didn't think her savior would survive.
As I said before, no one can survive being surrounded by two ferocious beasts.
It's just a matter of time.
"Brother, don't worry, I, Tianmeng, will definitely avenge you!"
After mourning for her elder brother, whom she had never met, for a moment, Tianmeng comfortably turned over and continued to savor the joy of freedom.
However, when he casually swept his mental energy around, he discovered that there was a little rabbit perched directly above him.
Those scarlet eyes seemed to be staring straight at me.
Tianmeng's heart tightened, but after a moment, she shook her head with a self-deprecating smile.
I'm being a bit too sensitive.
Even ferocious beasts that have existed for 100,000 years cannot detect me, so how could a little rabbit that is not even a soul beast be stronger than them?
"I'm so envious. I wish I could be as free as it."
Tianmeng sighed and prepared to change her position to continue lying in bed, but suddenly realized something was wrong.
This is the Star Dou Great Forest, the most dangerous gathering place for soul beasts on the continent.
My position should be on the outskirts, where thousand-year-old and ten-thousand-year-old soul beasts frequently appear.
So here's the question.
How did a little rabbit, which isn't even a soul beast, get into such a dangerous place?
Glug—
Tianmeng Bingcan swallowed hard, cold sweat dripping from his round forehead.
It carefully moved its position, changing its location little by little.
But what terrified it was that the little rabbit's blood-red eyes moved slowly with it, and even a strange smile appeared on its face.
You can see me!!
This little thing can see me!
Tianmeng felt a chill run down her spine, her whole body was ice-cold, and her teeth were chattering uncontrollably.
In that instant, it considered many possibilities.
For example, it could be an informant sent by a ferocious beast, or the incarnation of some strange being, and so on.
Either way, it is something it is currently powerless to resist.
Just as Tianmeng was considering whether offering his loyalty now could save his life, the little rabbit suddenly opened its mouth.
"Don't be nervous, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm, let me in first."
It was a clear, youthful voice that carried a hint of weariness beneath its calm surface.
Upon hearing this, Tianmeng Bingcan's extremely anxious heart suddenly calmed down.
It truly did not detect any hostility.
In that case, can I pretend nothing happened?
"Also, don't pretend you didn't see it; I can sense your every move."
The Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm collapsed instantly, its round body trembling. The soil in front of it parted, forming a narrow downward passage.
The moment the little rabbit jumped in, the soil instantly coalesced, as if nothing had happened.
"What kind of creature are you, a soul beast? This is the first time a creature has been able to see through my existence."
As soon as the little rabbit landed, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm couldn't help but come closer and curiously examine the tiny creature.
The former did not answer it, but instead scanned the surroundings with its blood-red eyes and asked in return, "Are you sure this place won't be detected by other beings?"
"Of course!"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm proudly raised its head, "If I want to hide, even a 100,000-year-old soul beast can't do anything to me. By the way, why are you asking this?"
"That's good."
Su Chen nodded, unable to suppress the intense dizziness in his brain any longer. He barely managed to reach out and deactivate the transformation spell, collapsing weakly onto the ground.
His chakra had been squeezed to its limit; if he had been a second later, he would have been forced to deactivate his transformation.
However, we should be considered safe now, at least in a haphazard way?
He glanced quickly at the small underground cavern and the white silkworm-like shadow in front of him. His tense mind relaxed slightly, and he felt an endless fatigue wash over him, as if he could fall asleep any second.
"Humans!!"
Startled by this sudden change, the Heavenly Dream Ice Silkworm writhed backward, shrinking into a corner and watching the silver-haired boy warily.
After a while, seeing that the boy didn't make any other moves, it cautiously stepped forward, gently poked him with its round tail, and tentatively asked, "Hey, are you alright?"
The silver-haired boy closed his eyes and shook his head slightly.
The Sage Body is rapidly recovering its chakra; this process won't take long.
As long as he can act independently, he can actively use the cultivation method to accelerate chakra recovery.
Seemingly realizing that he posed no threat at the moment, Tianmeng Ice Silkworm suddenly became bolder, and DouDou's eyes were full of curiosity.
"Are you a human or a spirit beast?"
"Could they be beastmen? No, human-beastmen?"
"I understand, half-human, half-beast!"
Su Chen was exasperated by the series of absurd questions. He waved his hand and said irritably, "Quiet down first, I'll talk to you after I've recovered."
If we let it guess randomly any longer, its own race will be changed.
"oh"
Tianmeng Ice Silkworm nodded.
"So, after you turn into a rabbit, will you eat grass?"
Su Chen:
If he weren't physically unable to do so, he really wanted to tap that fat head to see if it was filled with water.
