Chapter 164: A Terrifying Demon Beast Appears
Su Yan remained silent, his thoughts unknown.
Gu Xiaoxiao said happily, “I didn’t expect to find this kind of treasure. Let’s share it.”
Hearing Gu Xiaoxiao’s words, Su Yan was a little surprised. She actually didn’t go back on her word and bully the few with the many. It seemed he had been overthinking it.
Su Yan was a little ashamed, but this was also human nature. He hadn’t been with the three of them for long. It was only right to be a little more vigilant.
And so, the few of them began to pick the spiritual fruits.
“By the way, don’t you find it a little strange?”
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
“What’s strange?”
Su Yan, who was picking fruits, was attracted by her.
Gu Xiaoxiao said, “After being explored by countless people, the treasures here should have all been collected. But how could something as precious as a Water Spirit Fruit appear here?”
“Maybe it’s because everyone thought so, which led to no one coming for a long time. The treasure reappeared, nurtured by the special environment here.”
Su Yan guessed. There was no other reason.
“You have a point. But looking at the size and number of the fruits, these spiritual fruits didn’t just appear overnight. Could it be that we’re the first to discover them, and no one else has been here?”
“Probably…”
Su Yan stammered.
Although he said that, he was also a little puzzled in his heart.
The Dragon’s Spine Snow Mountain was very famous, which was why it was frequently visited. Powerful cultivators wouldn’t come here because they knew that the precious treasures had long since been collected. Only those low-level cultivators would come here to try their luck.
After all, the Dragon’s Spine Snow Mountain was rich in spiritual energy. Every few decades, some treasures would be nurtured again. The Frost Condensation Grass he had been looking for before was of this type. Ordinary cultivators would come here to collect spiritual herbs and then exchange them for spirit stones in the outside world. This was not a small income.
“Although this place is hidden, it’s not that hidden. Why has no one come before to take all these spiritual fruits?”
Su Yan was very puzzled by this. Could it be just pure luck, that this place had never been discovered by others before?
“Look, what’s that?”
Gu Xiaoxiao suddenly said.
Su Yan looked up and followed the direction she was pointing. His pupils contracted, and his heart suddenly jumped.
In the deeper part of the ice cave, a figure had appeared at some point. The figure looked like a person, but it was much taller than a person, and there were two protrusions on its head. It looked very abnormal.
“When did it appear?”
Su Yan was shocked. He thought of the rabbit he had encountered before. When he was frozen, it had appeared silently. Although it was partly because he was distracted, its hiding ability was also very outstanding.
But at that time, it was a rabbit. This one was definitely not, because it was standing on two feet, not on all fours. It couldn’t possibly be a rabbit. So…
Wait, wait, wait!
Su Yan’s eyes widened. The figure seemed to know that it had been discovered and simply stopped hiding, walking out from the darkness.
As it slowly approached, Su Yan also gradually saw its appearance clearly.
Can you imagine a two-meter-tall rabbit that walks on its hind legs? Not to mention that its body was bulging with muscles, like a strong human.
“Th-this is actually a rabbit!”
Su Yan was in a mess. Although he had long known that the creatures in the cultivation world were strange and varied, this was the first time he had seen something so strange.
While Su Yan and Gu Xiaoxiao were in a daze, Gu Xiaoniu noticed the strangeness, stopped picking fruits, and looked up curiously.
Su Yan had thought she would be startled, but who knew that she would say excitedly, “Wow, what a cute rabbit! It’s much cuter than the rabbits I’ve seen before!”
The corner of Su Yan’s mouth twitched. What kind of aesthetic was this? How was a muscle rabbit cute? Did this person know what she was saying?
“Is she always like this?”
Su Yan asked Gu Xiaoxiao with his eyes.
Gu Xiaoxiao’s face showed helplessness. As her older sister, of course, she knew what her younger sister was like.
“Xiaoniu’s preferences are different from ordinary people’s.”
Getting an affirmative answer, Su Yan was speechless. This was no longer a matter of different preferences, but completely twisted.
How could a girl like this kind of thing? He felt that this rabbit was not cute at all, and even a little disgusting.
After all, a rabbit standing on its hind legs completely violated the laws of nature. And was it his imagination? He always felt that this rabbit was a little strange and didn’t look normal.
But he was probably overthinking it. This was just a slightly strange rabbit.
Just as Su Yan’s mind was wandering, Gu Xiaoniu walked towards the giant rabbit. She had never seen such a special rabbit before and wanted to catch it and keep it as her pet.
No! There’s definitely something wrong!
As the two of them got closer and closer, Su Yan’s brows gradually furrowed.
Logically, a rabbit should run away when it sees a human. Even if this rabbit had become a demon, it shouldn’t take the initiative to approach so many people.
However, the current situation was that it had walked out on its own, and it was not even a little nervous.
Why was that?
Su Yan’s mind raced. At this moment, he discovered another strange thing. Although the rabbit had appeared, his divine sense could not sense it, not even its aura. This kind of thing would only happen under one condition…
“Get out of the way quickly!”
Su Yan suddenly thought of something and said loudly.
At the same time, the muscle rabbit’s mouth split into an exaggerated arc, looking extremely strange.
Before Gu Xiaoniu could react, she was sent flying by the rabbit with a kick.
With a boom, her whole body crashed into the ice wall. Her body stuck to it for a few seconds and then fell down.
“Xiaoniu!”
Gu Xiaoxiao shouted and quickly ran to Gu Xiaoniu’s side, shaking her body repeatedly.
“S-sister…”
Gu Xiaoniu murmured, and then her eyes rolled back, and she fainted.
Fainted! She had been knocked out with a single kick, and she was seriously injured!
Su Yan looked at the rabbit, cold sweat beading on his forehead. He knew it would be like this.
After all, his own divine sense couldn’t even sense its aura. Only something stronger than him could do that. He was already a Golden Core cultivator, so this rabbit’s strength…
“A Nascent Soul demon beast!”
Gu Xiaoxiao gritted her teeth and said.
At this moment, she finally knew why no one could take away the spiritual fruits.
High-level cultivators disdained to come here, and low-level cultivators couldn’t possibly beat the rabbit. Even if someone had been lucky enough to discover it, they would have all died here, right?
This was simply too absurd! A rabbit, at the bottom of the food chain in the cultivation world, could actually become so strong!
Gu Xiaoxiao quickly figured out the truth, but none of that was important right now.
She doted on her younger sister, almost to the point of spoiling her to the heavens. She had never been willing to hit her. This damn demon beast had actually almost kicked her to death with a single kick.
Unforgivable! Absolutely unforgivable!!
