Chapter 509: 288 Companion_2

Fang Zhixing was dumbfounded and speechless, finding it hard to believe.

A mighty Heavenly Person, living like this with no dignity?

Too pitiful!

He could not help but ask, "So, as a Heavenly People Avatar, what do you live for?"

"Cultivation, of course!"

Fan Qiulai explained carefully, "The Avatar grows stronger through cultivation, and the original body also becomes stronger. The Heavenly People improve their Cultivation in this way."

Fang Zhixing blinked and pressed on, "So, do Heavenly People actually practice Martial Arts?"

"Of course!"

Fan Qiulai nodded and smiled, "We visualize Heaven and Earth, comprehend the mighty power of Heaven and Earth, become one with Heaven and Earth, and pursue control over the power of Heaven and Earth’s rules."

He thought for a moment and then added, "Although both you and I practice Martial Arts, the Cultivation Techniques we practice are not of the same type. Saintification is Cultivation of Martial Arts, while Heavenly People refine the power of Heaven and Earth."

Fang Zhixing pondered, the more he understood about Heavenly People, the more incredible and downright absurd it seemed.

The two had only just met but ended up talking quite a lot unexpectedly.

Fan Qiulai must have been a chatterbox; as soon as he confirmed that Fang Zhixing was not a Heavenly Person and posed no actual threat, he began to open up.

However, an Avatar was just a castrated version of a Heavenly Person, not knowing much about the major secrets of Heavenly People.

While they spoke, the rings on their hands lit up simultaneously, shooting out a beam of light.

"When the first light of dawn appears at the edge of the sky, circle around the bottomless pit twice, recite the phrase ’I won’t drink alcohol today,’ and then leap into the bottomless pit, you will enter the Fifth Level Restricted Area."

Fang Zhixing’s face twitched, and he immediately asked Fan Qiulai for advice, "What kind of force is behind this ring, manipulating us?"

Fan Qiulai spread his hands and said, "Sigh, to tell you the truth, I want to know more than you do. I’ve secretly investigated for many years, but sadly haven’t found any clues."

Fang Zhixing raised an eyebrow and asked, "Has there ever been a mistake in the information transmitted by the ring?"

Fan Qiulai replied promptly, "No, the ring is very useful, especially when we explore the Fifth Level Restricted Area; we rely entirely on its guidance."

The two stopped talking because a trace of the morning’s first light had started to break on the horizon.

They immediately circled the bottomless pit and then shouted the phrase.

The next moment, Fan Qiulai jumped into the pitch-dark hole without any hesitation.

Fang Zhixing was a beat slower; he observed and noticed that Fan Qiulai’s figure almost instantly disappeared from his view.

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing also leaped.

The sensation of falling was intense, with the sound of the wind whistling past his ears.

Suddenly, his feet touched the ground.

Fang Zhixing gripped the Myriad People Blade and immediately surveyed his surroundings.

Fan Qiulai was standing not far away.

They were now in a vast bamboo forest, with each slender bamboo standing tall and straight.

The morning sunlight filtered through the dense bamboo leaves, casting mottled shadows on the ground.

Fang Zhixing quickly noticed a stone path not far away, covered with a thick layer of Falling Leaves and overgrown with weeds, as if no one had trod upon it for a long time.

"Have you been here before?"

Fang Zhixing asked in a low voice.

Fan Qiulai shook his head and replied, "It’s eerily silent here; be careful."

He lifted his Ring, and a beam of light shone on the ground.

"Follow the path out of the bamboo forest, and you will see a mountain villa."

Seeing this, Fang Zhixing also lifted his Ring.

"Ten meters behind you on your left, there is a bamboo struck by lightning which has transformed into ’Heavenly Thunder Bamboo,’ effective in resisting Thunder damage."

Fang Zhixing’s eyes lit up, and without a word, he turned and walked over.

Indeed, there was a scorched bamboo, much thinner than the surrounding green ones.

"Take the bamboo from the darkest charred spot, approximately one meter in length."

The Ring provided the instruction.

Fang Zhixing’s spirits lifted and with a couple of swift chops,

he reached out and grabbed the charred piece of bamboo which fell into his hand.

At that moment, a sensation like an electric shock suddenly surged through him, making Fang Zhixing involuntarily shudder.

Fortunately, the residual electricity on the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo was not very strong.

Fang Zhixing shivered and turned around to look.

Fan Qiulai had followed and, looking at the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo, his expression changed, he sighed and said, "You’ve found a treasure, you’re lucky this time."

Fang Zhixing hesitated and asked, "Why didn’t the Ring give you the same hint?"

"Distance issue!"

Fan Qiulai pointed to his Ring and said, "If I had been closer to that piece of Tian Lei Bamboo, the Ring would have given me the hint first."

Fang Zhixing suddenly understood and said, "Fair is fair, I’ll share half of the Heavenly Thunder Bamboo with you."

"No need!"

Fan Qiulai waved his hand and said earnestly, "This time you were lucky; next time it might be my turn. If I also find a valuable treasure, I hope you won’t get greedy."

Fang Zhixing’s expression turned solemn, "Understood, then we’ll both rely on luck in our actions, and whoever finds the treasure will own it."

"Very good!"

Fan Qiulai no longer spoke, turning to walk towards a small path.

Fang Zhixing followed at the same pace.

The two wove through the bamboo forest and quickly realized it was very large.

After walking for more than half an hour, they still had not made it out.

If it were not for the ring constantly providing prompts, anyone would have thought they were lost.

A short while later, the forest cleared up ahead.

"We made it out!"

Fang Zhixing perked up, surveying his surroundings.

The bamboo forest was situated in a depression, with a slope in front of them.

Looking up, the top of the slope revealed a mountain villa.

For some reason, the sky above the villa was dark, covered with dense clouds.

Fang Zhixing took a closer look and immediately realized that the cloud layer was extremely sinister, filthy beyond measure, like the water in a sewer.

"Such intense evil aura..."

Fan Qiulai’s gaze flickered, as if he had discovered something.

Fang Zhixing quickly asked, "What is that?"

However, Fan Qiulai shook his head, replying cautiously, "Not sure yet, it might be some kind of evil creature."

At that moment, the ring issued a command, "Enter the villa, eliminate all monsters!"

"Let’s go!"

Fan Qiulai accelerated, dashing up the slope with flickers of flames emanating from his body.

Fang Zhixing’s figure moved swiftly, quickly following behind him.

The villa came into view, not small in size, but it wasn’t the kind of opulent manor one might imagine.

Outside was a low earthen wall, inside were old wooden houses, decrepit and dilapidated.

In the spacious courtyard, the stench of blood was pervasive.

Fang Zhixing’s gaze swept over the area, first landing on a number of corpses scattered about.

Although all the bodies were human, they had an unusual appearance with pointed ears and pig noses.

A pitch-black monster was gnawing on the remains of those people.

Fang Zhixing’s pupils shrank as a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

The pitch-black monster closely resembled the adult alien from the "Alien" films.

The crescent-shaped head, tough exoskeleton, sharp teeth and claws, as well as the retractable tail and tentacles...

Moreover, this alien creature was enormous, being seven or eight meters long, truly terrifying.

And there was more!

Dark energy swirled around the alien like black flames burning, eerie beyond compare.

"Burn!"

Fan Qiulai charged straight in, heedless, rubbing his hands together to form a bright red fireball, and hurled it towards the creature.

Whoosh~

Flames shot into the sky!

The alien abruptly lifted its head and leapt backward.

Boom!

The fireball exploded, a thunderous blast!

The old buildings of the villa crumbled, crackling as they quickly caught fire upon contact with the flames.

The alien burst out of the inferno, with large patches of its body charred.

Gnashing its teeth, it leapt to the edge of the fire, suddenly spouting a stream of green slime.

The roaring flames were instantly extinguished.

The green slime gave off a pungent odor, extremely foul-smelling.

The ground was swiftly corroded into filth, with a large section of the soil vanishing, leaving a gaping hole.

Amidst this scene...

Fan Qiulai’s expression became slightly solemn, his hands raised to conjure an even larger fireball.

"I’ll help you!"

Fang Zhixing snapped his fingers rapidly, sending forth a barrage of Blood Droppers.

The Blood Droppers scattered around the alien, then suddenly exploded.

The alien was forced to jump upwards!

"Good!"

Fan Qiulai was invigorated, slamming the fireball down!
