Chapter 217 Of course, we eat them!
It hurts...
where is this?
Lu Bai groggily opened his eyes and looked around. He had just fallen off the trap with Tao Tao and then had no idea what happened. He was completely dazed.
He stood up, leaning against the wall, his legs still a little weak and his head spinning.
"Miss Le?" Lu Bai looked around but didn't see Tao Tao. He called out quickly. He was only at the Qi Refining stage. If he were the only one who wanted to survive here, it would be a pipe dream.
However, there was no response. He swallowed hard, wondering if he was really that unlucky to not fall with Tao Tao.
"Brother Lu Bai, over here."
Just then, Tao Tao's voice came from not far away. Hearing this voice, Lu Bai was overjoyed and quickly followed.
As he walked through the long tunnel, he gradually saw light approaching. He quickened his pace, rushed out of the tunnel, and was stunned by the scene outside.
"This is……"
The view was vast and seemed to stretch to the horizon. Various buildings floated in the sky, not fixed in one place, but appearing to change position slowly with the movement of the air.
There were even some mounds of earth floating on the ground, with strange herbs growing on them. In front of them was a sizable platform, below which was a bottomless abyss, the depth of which was unknown. When you reached the edge, you could clearly feel the wind coming from below.
"Floating island." Tao Tao, standing at the edge, opened her mouth. This was what she had learned from Huan Yan. She had heard that a floating island was a magical artifact that could be used to change the structure of space.
Lu Bai was somewhat surprised to hear those two words. "Floating island? I've heard that the Mi Luo Sect does indeed possess such a thing, but it's their sect leader's magical artifact. The entire Mi Luo Sect used to be a large floating island in the sky. If this place is a floating island, then it means..."
"That means the artifact is somewhere. Let's go find it." Tao Tao suddenly became interested. She already has a spatial artifact, so wouldn't it be perfect to have one that can change the terrain? Besides, the floating island isn't just for changing space and terrain; it has other uses as well. Huan Yan letting her get her hands on it first would only benefit her.
Seeing her eagerness, Lu Bai couldn't help but worry, "But this place is strange. We clearly fell down from above, so why did we end up in such a large space?"
"Because the terrain here has been changed long ago, it's not its original form at all. Brother Lu Bai, I'll be right back, be careful."
As soon as she finished speaking, Tao Tao transformed into a small white beast and rushed out, leaving Lu Bai stunned. He calculated that even with all his flying magic artifacts, he couldn't keep up with her speed.
But what did she tell herself to be careful about?
Lu Bai was somewhat confused and was about to observe the surrounding movements when suddenly a baby-like scream rang out. The sound was very eerie, and it made one's heart ache. Lu Bai quickly looked up and saw several large, fiery red birds flying in the sky. These birds actually had human faces, looked like babies, and had two withered arms and sharp claws. They exuded a dangerous aura.
Oh no, it's a monster!
This demonic beast is called the Infant Crying Ghost Owl. It is a level three demonic beast that feeds on humans. Although its level is not high, it likes to live in groups and always appears in groups of dozens. Even Core Formation cultivators have some difficulty dealing with them.
The key is that they always appear and disappear without a trace, and by the time they are discovered, it is too late. Just like now, Lu Bai has been targeted by the leading baby-crying ghost owl. A crimson light emanates from its pupils, and soon more than a dozen ghost owls circle over, moving so fast that it is only a matter of seconds.
It’s over.
Lu Bai's heart skipped a beat. How could a mere Qi Refining stage cultivator possibly deal with these level three demonic beasts? Wasn't that just asking to die?
In desperation, Lu Bai had no choice but to take out all his defensive magic artifacts. He activated all five of them at once to protect himself, but this greatly depleted his spiritual power and could not be maintained for long.
Having no other choice, he shouted at Tao Tao, "Miss Le, please help me!"
Tao Tao was frantically searching for the magic artifact, hoping to break the restrictions here. Unexpectedly, a group of demonic beasts arrived so quickly. She pouted, somewhat angry, and let out a roar before rushing over.
Just as the Ghost Owl was about to break through Lu Bai's defenses, Lu Bai's heart turned to ashes, and he almost gave up resisting. But then, a small white beast descended from the sky, opened its blood-red maw, and began to tear at Lu Bai.
In the blink of an eye, she devoured several ghost owls, including their leader. The other ghost owls dared not make a move and began to retreat. But Tao Tao was not about to let them go. With a "whoosh," she pushed off with her two short legs and rushed over, opening her mouth to take a bite.
A baby-like cry rang out, but unfortunately, it was swallowed by Tao Tao as soon as it was heard.
Her cultivation level is now far beyond the mid-Foundation Establishment stage, not to mention that the level of the demonic beasts is already high, and the bloodline suppression alone is enough to deal with them.
Faced with the oppressive aura emanating from Tao Tao, the ghost owls dared not make a move. They all landed on the ground, trembling, waiting for Tao Tao to punish them.
"Tell me where the floating island is?" Tao Tao asked directly. The ghost owls looked at each other, none of them daring to speak. Tao Tao was so angry that he rushed over, showing his two sharp teeth, and threatened with a cute but silly look: "If you don't tell me, I'll bite your neck off."
Her voice was soft and sweet, and she looked very cute, but what she said sent chills down Gui Xiao's spine. Lu Bai also heard this and immediately swallowed hard, instinctively clutching his chest, and sighed again, thankfully he and Tao Tao were on the same side.
“Down below…” The ghost owl was so frightened that it had no choice but to speak. But as soon as it uttered those three words, its body burst into flames. Tao Tao quickly retreated, and in the blink of an eye, the ghost owl had turned into a pile of ashes.
The other ghost owls met the same fate; within moments, not a single one survived.
Tao Tao angrily transformed back into human form, stomped his foot, and said, "I'd rather have eaten him!"
It had been a very long time since she had a proper meal. She had planned to wait for them to speak before taking action, but she ended up missing them.
"They must have been placed under a restriction, preventing them from revealing anything about this place. I heard that the Mi Luo Sect really liked raising these ferocious demonic beasts, and now it seems to be true. The Mi Luo Sect has already declined, but these demonic beasts are trapped here and can't get out."
After calming down, Lu Bai went to Tao Tao's side and explained to her.
At the same time, he glanced at Tao Tao, intending to see her current cultivation level, but found that he couldn't tell at all. Her spiritual power was unfathomable and completely unfathomable.
“There must be quite a few monsters here. We’ll go find them in a bit.” Tao Tao smiled immediately upon hearing this.
Lu Bai didn't quite understand what he was saying, so he asked, "Why are you looking for them?"
Although she dealt with these monsters, there's no guarantee that even higher-level ones won't appear. Logically, they should be hiding, so why are they still going to get closer?
But Tao Tao licked his lips, looking like he hadn't had enough, and said, "Of course, we should eat them."
