Chapter 40 Huai’an, it seems like it has turned into a human form!
Ji Nan Yuan looked up and observed for a moment, then condensed a golden ball of Qi and fiercely blasted it at the silver flowing light above her head.
The ball of Qi and the silver light collided, Spiritual Qi overflowed, but the silver flowing light above their heads remained completely undamaged.
Pei Qinghuan's face was solemn; if even Ji Nan Yuan's strength couldn't achieve a Breakthrough, how were the three of them supposed to leave this place?
Fu Huaian retracted his upward gaze and began to observe his surroundings.
This place was constructed from countless large black bricks; each giant stone was very neatly cut, clearly not naturally formed, but man-made.
Fu Huaian squatted down, touched a black brick, and then concentrated his strength to poke it.
It was incredibly hard; he didn't know what material it was made of.
Thud–
Fu Huaian punched the ground with all his might, producing a dull thud, but not even a speck of black brick dust was stirred up.
He could only rise helplessly and look around.
There were no strange objects or living beings around, only wisps of black mist, drifting everywhere.
Fu Huaian already knew that these black mists were exactly the same as the wisp that had entered his Dantian before.
He tried to observe and investigate, but he couldn't sense any abnormality.
Pei Qinghuan and Ji Nan Yuan moved closer, both with extremely grave expressions.
Pei Qinghuan looked at Fu Huaian and said seriously,
“Huai'an, is there anything unusual about your body right now?”
Fu Huaian shook his head; he had already internally examined his own condition and found nothing special had occurred.
Ji Nan Yuan sighed softly and looked at the two of them.
“Let's look around first.”
The two nodded silently and walked slowly forward with Ji Nan Yuan.
Tap, tap–
In the silent space, there were only the footsteps of the three.
All three had protective Qi shields condensed around their bodies to guard against any unexpected situations.
After only a quarter of an hour of walking, the three reached the end; the wall was made of the same black bricks as the ground and could not be destroyed.
The Divine Sense of the three was greatly affected in this place, almost only able to spread out about three zhang around them.
The three changed direction and walked towards other areas.
Half an hour later.
The three silently returned to their original spot; this space was a regular square, with black bricks on all four walls and the ground, and the top sealed by a silver flowing light.
Within the space, there was only the drifting black mist; besides that, there was nothing else.
The three felt particularly heavy-hearted; didn't this mean they couldn't get out!?
“Your Majesty, do you have any Magic Treasures to take out and use?”
Fu Huaian felt that as an emperor, Ji Nan Yuan must be a master of many treasures, so he could only find hope in her.
Ji Nan Yuan took out her Storage Pouch from her怀里 and looked down, searching carefully.
There was a jumble of miscellaneous items: Teleportation Talismans, Formation Flags. She tried them one by one, but they were all useless and couldn't communicate with the outside world.
This place seemed to be completely isolated.
Ji Nan Yuan bit her silver teeth tightly and took out the sword Talisman, gently crushing it, but it didn't even emit a Spiritual light.
Ji Nan Yuan felt a burst of discouragement; she wasn't sure if the Imperial Advisor had received her plea for help.
Fu Huaian and Pei Qinghuan exchanged glances, both looking helpless.
They waited quietly for half an hour, but the Imperial Advisor didn't come.
An hour later.
The three, with grim expressions, instead waited for an anomaly in the underground space.
Squeak, squeak–
Several illusory beast-like creatures appeared, resembling mice but shaped like giant tigers, emitting ear-piercing cries from their mouths.
The three's hearts jolted, and they stared intently at the appearing illusory giant rats.
An unusual situation was not necessarily a bad thing; what they feared was endless, dark silence.
With the appearance of the giant rats, the black mist drifting around gradually began to move, showing a tendency to gather towards a central point.
The giant rats became eerily more numerous; the three were fully on guard. Through their senses, they perceived that these giant rats were at least at the Second Grade to First Grade strength.
They belonged to the top Jianghu martial artist tier.
A single one posed no danger to the three, but their numbers were simply too great, so the three dared not let down their guard.
The black mist moved even faster, and hundreds of giant rats moved simultaneously, charging towards the three!
Fu Huaian's long sword was unsheathed, and he flew out with his sword, a green sword light directly cutting several times across a giant rat's body.
The giant rat was immediately divided into dozens of pieces, turning into a burst of shattered light and dissipating.
Pei Qinghuan swung her sword three times forward, and three sword lights struck dozens of giant rats in front, turning them into shattered light.
Seeing this, the three felt a little relieved; it seemed they were not immortal.
Ji Nan Yuan's expression was calm; she took a step forward and directly condensed a huge golden light sphere in front of her.
The golden light sphere trembled gently, each tremor like a drop of water falling into a lake, with layers of Spiritual Qi ripples spreading outwards.
Any giant rat that touched it died instantly.
Fu Huaian, holding his long sword, looked at Ji Nan Yuan, whose expression remained unchanged. The Empress's strength was very solid, not something fed by resources.
After the giant rats had almost disappeared, a group of giant wolves emerged, and after the giant wolves, giant tigers!
Finally, even groups of hundreds of meters long Dragons appeared, their five claws waving, their Dragon scales lifelike, but their strength was only at the First Grade.
They were no match!
After so many rounds of attacks, the three guessed that these things were similar to illusory beasts.
They had no corpses, no souls, no intelligence, and no Spells.
However, their bodies could cause simple physical attacks, and they didn't understand what power was supporting their actions.
An hour later, countless illusory beasts silently dissipated in front of the golden light sphere.
The three did not actively kill the illusory beasts; their main attention was on the surrounding black mist.
At this moment, the black mist had condensed into a ball, that profound darkness seemingly capable of devouring one's soul.
The three widened their eyes, their faces full of vigilance.
Fu Huaian felt even more unnerved in his heart; a single wisp of it had messed him up into his current state, if he were to be contaminated by this large mass in front of him, wouldn't he be confined to his bed forever…
“Huai'an, it seems to have turned into a human form!”
Pei Qinghuan, holding her sword in front, exclaimed.
At this moment, the illusory beasts strangely disappeared all of a sudden.
The ball of black mist transformed into a human shape, gaining limbs and a head, and then gradually became more refined; the crude human form gained flowing black hair, a proper black outfit, and a graceful figure.
“It's a woman!”
Fu Huaian couldn't see her face clearly; there was a black mist flickering on her face, and he could only glimpse a delicate chin and red lips in a fleeting moment.
Ji Nan Yuan held her breath and concentrated her Divine Sense, detecting no energy fluctuations from her, not even as much as an illusory beast.
Fu Huaian hesitated whether to strike her with his sword, when his Dantian suddenly stirred.
In the pitch-black Dantian, Fu Huaian's exquisite black Dao foundation rapidly rotated, black electric arcs surrounded it, and the spiritual mist involuntarily churned.
Precisely at this moment.
The ball of black mist that had transformed into a human form suddenly disappeared, reappearing already in Fu Huaian's Dantian!
The Dantian instantly boiled!
The black-gray Dao foundation became a thick black, and the entire Dantian instantly became even darker.
The human-shaped black mist shrunk several times, unconsciously gently touching the Dao foundation in front of it.
She sensed a source of the same Qi.
“Huai'an!”
Outside, Pei Qinghuan exclaimed.
She quickly came to Fu Huaian's front, her face full of anxiety.
Fu Huaian was standing there stunned at this moment, his eyes pitch black, and black mist swirling around his seven orifices.
Ji Nan Yuan was startled; even she hadn't noticed how the black mist in front had instantly moved onto Fu Huaian.
She took a few steps forward and placed her hand on Fu Huaian's forehead.
Fu Huaian looked very strange, but after checking, everything was surprisingly normal!?
