Free Web NovelChapter 1493: Chapter 1340: My Younger Brother Is a Villain 37
The Phantom Monkey was happily munching on fruit when it was suddenly caught by Nie Shuangshuang and looked a bit dazed.
Its big black eyes stared blankly at Nie Shuangshuang, its small, rosy mouth still unconsciously chewing the fruit in its mouth, and its furry cheeks puffed up, looking so adorable that one’s heart would tremble.
Then the cute and charming Phantom Monkey was unceremoniously turned around by Nie Shuangshuang, facing the not-too-distant, obviously strange mountains.
The Phantom Monkey blinked its big eyes, its pupils instantly turning golden as it carefully observed the mountains for a long time.
After a while, it shook its small furry head, indicating to Nie Shuangshuang that there was no Illusion Array or Illusion Realm there.
Nie Shuangshuang frowned, she trusted the Phantom Monkey’s eyes, as breaking through illusions and arrays was their innate talent, passed down through bloodline, and could not go wrong.
That’s strange, Nie Shuangshuang was certain that the Xuan Blood Crocodile had always been moving in a straight line, so why was it getting further away?
Unable to figure it out despite thinking it over, Nie Shuangshuang could only pat Mo Xuan’s head, urging it to continue heading towards the mountains.
On the way, Feng Qiao couldn’t help but lie on Mo Xuan’s head, tapping Mo Xuan’s big forehead, and asked, "I say, you’ve lived here for so long, do you know what’s up with those mountains over there?"
Mo Xuan shook his head and directly spoke human words, "I don’t know."
Demon beasts at the Golden Core Stage cannot speak; to speak, they must cultivate to the Nascent Soul Stage, shedding their demon form to become human-shaped before they can talk.
The reason Mo Xuan could speak was because Gong Junbao fed it a Communication Pill; any demon beast with Spiritual Wisdom, regardless of cultivation level, could speak after consuming a Communication Pill.
If not for this, Mo Xuan would not have easily listened to Gong Junbao, merely rolling its eyes at Gong Junbao’s calls and shouts.
Even the Phantom Monkey was given a Communication Pill by Gong Junbao, but the Phantom Monkey was too young, like a baby learning to babble, and could only say a few words.
These past two days, Feng Qiao was enthusiastically holding Spirit Fruits, teaching the Phantom Monkey to speak, along with Feng Feiyu, who was keenly interested in playing with the Phantom Monkey’s speaking attempts.
Though Mo Xuan could speak now, it seemed due to its species traits, the Xuan Blood Crocodile normally dislikes vocalizing and is often silent.
Even after consuming the Communication Pill, Mo Xuan still doesn’t particularly enjoy speaking, remaining silent and unchanged from before taking the pill.
This time, after Feng Qiao actively asked, Mo Xuan merely gave a simple answer of not knowing, and then fell silent.
Feng Qiao heard this reply and sighed in frustration, unable to resist patting Mo Xuan’s head again, "You’re so useless.
Despite living in this Secret Realm for so many years, sticking to a few muddy ponds, haven’t you ever thought of checking out those nearby mountains? How silly are you?"
Mo Xuan was smacked by Feng Qiao twice and swung his head in dissatisfaction, can’t help but defend itself: "You’re the silly one. The mountains over there are clearly suspicious, I’d have to be truly foolish to approach, I’m not tired of living."
Mo Xuan’s words drew Feng Qiao, Gong Junbao, and Nie Shuangshuang’s attention, even Feng Feiyu’s nut-crunching slowed down.
Feng Qiao promptly asked Mo Xuan, "Suspicious? Come on, tell us, what’s odd about those mountains?"
Mo Xuan thought for a moment and said, "I can’t quite say specifically what’s strange, but as soon as I get close, I feel a strong pressure.
That feeling is very uncomfortable, very scary, as if some Ancient Divine Beast is suppressing me, causing fear from my bloodline, making me unable to approach."
If not for Nie Shuangshuang being here as a frightening star, Mo Xuan would never step towards those terrifying mountains, it only moved forward because it felt Nie Shuangshuang was even more terrifying than those mountains.
Mo Xuan’s answer made Feng Qiao, Nie Shuangshuang, and Gong Junbao even more puzzled, Feng Qiao stroked his chin and curiously asked Nie Shuangshuang, "Master Nie, what do you think this is about?"
Nie Shuangshuang stood on Mo Xuan’s back, gazing in the direction of the mountains, "A demon beast’s perception is not without reason, especially when it’s a pressure felt from their bloodline.
There must be a demon beast there capable of exerting pressure over the Xuan Blood Crocodile’s bloodline, so be cautious, I don’t know what this demon beast excels at, don’t be careless."
Feng Qiao nodded while Nie Shuangshuang released the Thousand Silk Entanglement, winding it around Mo Xuan’s body as a precaution, while reminding Gong Junbao, "Don’t dig Spiritual Medicine for now, the Secret Realm won’t run away, finish the task first and then dig as much as you like."
Gong Junbao wasn’t one to be unreasonable, nodding in agreement, and indeed refrained from digging further, obediently staying on Mo Xuan’s back.
Mo Xuan moved at an incredible speed, Nie Shuangshuang standing on its back, fixing her gaze on the position of the mountains. This time, Nie Shuangshuang was sure that the mountains were indeed moving, and quite rapidly too.
Because Nie Shuangshuang noticed that the surrounding scenery had changed, the surface on the ground had gone barren, revealing a large area of barren earth.
What on earth could move Da Shan, or perhaps it wasn’t moving Da Shan, but there was a spatial anomaly here?
Nie Shuangshuang raised her hand, and the Thousand Silk Entanglement transformed into a straight line, shooting rapidly forward, unwavering in its path, aimed precisely at the moving mountains.
Closing her eyes, Nie Shuangshuang enveloped the Thousand Silk Entanglement with her Divine Sense, following it as it extended forward. In Nie Shuangshuang’s perception, the Thousand Silk Entanglement kept traveling in a straight line without turning.
The forward speed of the Thousand Silk Entanglement was astonishingly fast, extending rapidly ahead. Nie Shuangshuang estimated that the distance to the mountains only required the silk to extend for a quarter of an hour to reach them.
However, as she continued, Nie Shuangshuang extended the Thousand Silk Entanglement for over an hour only to find that it kept speeding forward, as if the end were infinitely far away.
Nie Shuangshuang withdrew her Divine Sense, ceasing to follow the silk forward, instead directly perceiving the silk’s essence, discovering that what she had perceived as straight had actually made seven or eight turns!
In an instant, she retracted the Thousand Silk Entanglement, opened her eyes, having seen through why the mountains kept dodging.
Beside her, Feng Qiao watched Nie Shuangshuang closely, and at this moment asked as Nie Shuangshuang opened her eyes, "Master Nie, did you discover anything?"
