Chapter 581: The Beast Attacks
Although Han Li and Mei Ning were two new faces, those guards just looked at them and didn’t ask anything, but instead surrounded the other people who went out and excitedly discussed something. And let those few tall men will leather bag in the fish and shrimp, exposed to them to see, and then let out a burst of exclamation of surprise.
All of this caused Han Li, who was watching with cold eyes, to frown lightly. It seemed that here, fish and shrimp were either very rare items or all food was very short.
Afterward, Han Li swept his gaze toward the entire village.
The entire village was protected in the center by an identical tall stone wall. All of the buildings in the village were made of dark stone, mostly simple and rough, and mostly square in shape. But the most eye-catching thing was a stone platform at the center of the village. This stone platform is not big, but several times higher than the other houses, three or four feet high, and from the top of the stone platform releases a lavender fog, covering the entire village in the sky, as long as there is a blue lightning in the sky falling into the village, it will immediately be absorbed by these purple fog. This purple mist must be some kind of spell formation prohibition undoubtedly, but he didn’t feel any presence of aura from the stone platform, instead, there was a kind of gloomy and cold energy hovering there like.
It should be known that although his divine sense could not leave his body, his sense of aura was still keen and incomparable, and there was absolutely nothing wrong with that. Han Li couldn’t help but be incredibly alarmed in his heart.
Near this high platform, there were several halls that were taller than ordinary stone houses, and at the entrance there were a few people pointing at the thin man and others, and whispering something. One of them looked at Han Li’s side with a flickering light in his eyes.
Han Li’s heart flinched. This was the first guy he’d seen in this place who possessed a high level of internal energy.
If it was outside, he would naturally be able to easily twist it to death with a single finger, and wouldn’t even put it in his eyes, but now he had to raise his spirits to deal with the other side. At this moment, the thin man walked toward the people and said something, then turned back and pointed to Han Li and Mei Ning a few times, those people’s eyes immediately swept toward Han Li.
Han Li didn’t move, didn’t show any timidity, but Mei Ning, who was on the side, appeared uneasy, not knowing how the other side was going to settle them.
”You two come over here, the village elders have something to ask you.” The lean man said as he waved at Han Li and the two of them.
Han Li nodded his head and walked over with this woman with an open demeanor.
The group then turned around and entered the hall behind them first, with Han Li trailing behind.
”Both of you, please take a seat, since we’re here and we all belong to the same human race, we’ll naturally do our best to help each other out. However, it’s true that this place is not quite the same as the outside world, so could the two of you introduce yourselves first, and then I’ll talk about this place.” Inside the hall, a slightly chubby old man sitting in the center seat said to the two with a benevolent purpose.
On both sides, sat several other people, one of whom, a white-faced man with two slender eyes and a hidden fierce color showing, was the one who had swept a glance at Han Li outside the hall. He had a brilliant light in his eyes, but at this time, he only swept over Han Li’s face, but his gaze fell on the beautiful person behind Han Li, and although he didn’t say a word, his eyes flickered with a strange color.
”The two of us have nothing to say, we only stumbled upon a ghostly fog at sea, so we were caught up in this place, as for our previous identities, what else can we do when we arrive here? Let’s not talk about it!” Han Li casually smiled and very calmly returned.
Upon hearing such a vague reply from Han Li, the old man smiled.
He narrowed his eyes and looked the two up and down a few times before suddenly saying something that made Han Li startled.
”The two of you are Immortal Cultivators, aren’t you, there’s nothing to hide about this identity.” After saying this, the old man’s eyes landed on the storage pouch bulging inside Han Li’s waist.
Han Li’s expression remained unchanged, but he was silent for a moment, while Mei Ning’s pretty face paled as some worry rose in her heart.
”The two of you don’t need to be afraid. The Immortal Cultivators that come to our place, although not many, are not that few, and compared to ordinary people, we are more welcoming of those who used to be Immortal Cultivators to join our village. However, the two of you should also know, in this land of the Underworld, spiritual power mana and the like can’t be used, the only power that can be used is the Underworld power and some crude martial arts.” The old man explained with a normal expression.
”Yin Underworld Force?” Han Li asked with a flash of suspicion.
”That’s right, it’s an external force that’s similar to mana, and although you can’t use it to directly cast spells, you cultivators can borrow the Yin Underworld Beast Crystals from the bodies of some Yin Beasts to set up some small spell formations, which are still not insignificant to the village. And even for those who aren’t proficient in formations, a cultivator’s body is much more powerful than an ordinary person’s, and would be an equally good help.” With a twist of the short beard on his chin, the old man slowly said.
”Your Excellency seems to know quite a bit about us Immortal Cultivators, I wonder if there are any other cultivators present in the village?” Han Li listened to the old man’s words and after a brief moment of thought, he asked again.
”Yes, of course there are, and there are as many as five or six of them. The old man, who is not talented, is one of them, and before I was sucked into the ghost fog, I had already succeeded in building my foundation.” This fat old man said with the corners of his mouth slightly curled.
Han Li’s face flashed a trace of surprise, hesitated for a moment, and wanted to ask something else, the entire hall suddenly shuddered, and then one after another the sound of rumbling, from the distance, as if there is something huge, is rushing towards the village this side.
The hall people’s faces changed, could not care less about Han Li, at the same time get up to go outside. Han Li’s face was skeptical, and he likewise walked out without delay. Only to see that outside the hall, the several village elders, is the face solemn command hundreds of young and strong men and women, have flocked to the thick stone wall, holding a variety of white spears and some production of simple bow and arrow.
Although everyone’s face is nervous, but also organized, a trace of panic is missing, seems to have experienced many times.
Han Li turned his gaze toward the direction where the loud noise was emitted, but because of the stone wall blocking the way, although he felt the ground trembling more and more alarmingly, he didn’t see anything.
Han Li touched his chin and looked around for a moment, then immediately took a few steps to a nearby high house, then while others were not prepared, his toes stepped on the wall and easily climbed up this stone house and stood on the roof to look out. At this time, Han Li was finally able to see what was happening in the distance.
Only to see a little farther outside the village, flying sand and stones, wild winds, blowing a black strange wind, can not see anything at all, and where these black winds have passed, the ground are condensed a layer of black frost, looks oddly cold and incomparable appearance.
It seems that this is the thin man in the mouth of the wind, really not ordinary people can stand.
But these winds close to the village of more than a hundred places, on their own dissipated away, never able to cross an invisible boundary.
And in the middle of these winds, there is a series of sound of heavy objects falling to the ground came out, although the distance is still far, but the amazing momentum has been hidden through. A moment later, a dozen feet high huge black shadow, from the wind at once rushed out.
After seeing the true face of the black shadow clearly, Han Li sucked in a mouthful of cool air.
At a glance, the black shadow seemed to be a gray giant ape enlarged a dozen times, but this beast had four eyes on its face, a pair of fleshy wings on its ribs, and was carrying a blackened strange wood in one hand, ruthlessly charging towards the village furiously, while the four strange eyes glowed with blood-red light, filled with an endless killing aura.
”It’s the Cunning Predator Beast, this time it’s the Cunning Predator Beast that’s coming, quickly send the Great Shield over.” As soon as they got a clear look at the beast’s face, several people yelled at the same time.
At once a large number of women and children and gray-haired old men emerged, holding a variety of shields, and sent them to the people on the wall one by one, and then ran down the stone wall again in a panic. At this time the beast has run to the distance from the stone wall less than a hundred feet, giant feet landing vibration sound, almost let Han Li doubt, this seemingly solid stone wall is not waiting for the beast to approach, will be hard to be shaken down a section.
But the good thing is that the matter did not really happen, the beast in the blink of an eye rushed close to the distance of thirty feet, just at this time, near the ground, suddenly sprang out of a few purple fog made of huge tentacles, a behemoth feet dead tied. This beast a unsteady stand, fell down hard in front of the stone wall, shocked the people on the stone wall a burst of east to west.
Han Li looked startled and subconsciously looked back at those high platforms. As a result, he was shocked to find that four people were sitting on that stone platform at some point, and were emitting a faint violet aura all over their bodies, in the act of casting spells.
”This is the power of the Yin Underworld?” Han Li’s heart stirred.
”Attack!” Almost instantly, an order was issued.
Densely packed spears and arrows lost, shooting like rain toward the fallen beast in front of them, completely enveloping it within.
When Han Li saw this, he couldn’t help but tighten his heart.
