Chapter 199 Water Beast (Part 2)
Gu Shihan took a deep breath and thought to himself: Since the water beast has not launched an attack for the time being, I might as well keep my troops in place for now, and wait and see what the water beast is trying to do.
Gu Shihan tightly grasped the Seven-Star Silk Sound Sword, his eyes locked on the water beast's every move, ready to face a possible fierce battle at any time.
The water beast looked at the place where Gu Shihan was hiding with doubtful eyes, and it opened its big mouth, and countless water arrows shot towards it at a high speed.
Gu Shihan formed seals with his hands and muttered something. Runes flew towards the water arrow and the Seven-Star Silk Sound Sword in his hand flew up and down.
The water beast nimbly bypassed the runes and pounced towards Gu Shihan.
Xingbai had been ready to go. When the water beast attacked, he flashed and leaped up like lightning.
Its petite and flexible body drew a graceful arc in the air, easily passing through the dense water arrows and landing steadily on the head of the huge water beast.
Xingbai raised its claws and slapped the water beast's head without any mercy.
This sudden attack caught the water beast off guard. It obviously did not expect that it would be successfully approached by such a tiny "little ant".
The water beast felt a sharp pain on the top of its head, and could not help but swing its huge head wildly in anger. At the same time, its thick and powerful tail swept left and right irregularly, bringing up gusts of strong wind.
Seeing this, Gu Shihan, who was standing by, quickly used teleportation to dodge the fierce attack of the water beast's tail. He quickly formed a seal with his left hand, and rushed forward with a flash of his body. The long sword in his hand turned into a cold light and stabbed straight into the belly of the water beast.
With just a muffled sound, the Seven-Star Silk Sound Sword accurately pierced into the body of the water beast.
The severely injured water beast let out a painful roar, and then its huge body plunged into the water in despair, disappearing without a trace in the blink of an eye.
"It's not advisable to stay here for long, let's go!" Gu Shihan said solemnly.
The man and the fox did not dare to delay for a moment. They immediately spread their bodies and quickly left along the way they came.
As they sped along, they were surprised to find that they seemed to be trapped in a strange maze.
No matter how hard they ran, they would eventually find themselves back where they came from for unknown reasons.
"Could it be the work of that water beast just now? This doesn't look like any formation?!" Xingbai frowned and muttered to himself in confusion.
Gu Shihan also realized that something was wrong at this time. He stopped and began to calm down and carefully observe the surrounding environment.
But there was nothing unusual except a dense forest and a rugged road under my feet.
Suddenly, the ground began to shake, and countless vines broke out of the ground and wrapped around the two of them.
"Be careful!" Gu Shihan kept dodging while holding Xingbai.
Dodging left and right, the vines became more and more numerous. Gu Shihan's eyes became stern, and he swung the sword in his hand to cut off the approaching vines.
However, more vines came and gradually formed a huge vine ball that tried to trap them.
Just as Gu Shihan was getting anxious, an ethereal voice sounded: "Intruders, you have disturbed the peace here and must be punished. Don't struggle in vain!"
Gu Shihan felt that the spiritual energy in his body was being consumed faster and faster, and he couldn't help but respond loudly: "Senior! We are just passing by, and we don't mean to offend you. Please be lenient! Let us go!"
"Hey, the fox tribe? Your bloodline is relatively pure. How about this, as long as you give me a cup of your own blood, I will not make things difficult for you and will let you go." The ethereal voice seemed to strike at people's hearts.
Xing Bai's face changed, the blood of the fox clan is extremely precious. As a space spirit, he is different from normal foxes. His blood is more than one third less, otherwise he would not be willing to be a spirit of an artifact.
This is a long story. Xingbai was originally the pet of Fairy Qingchen's mother, but his master was murdered and he was not far from death.
In order to save him, Fairy Qingchen could only use the energy of the Moonlight Bracelet to heal his wounds. However, no matter how many rare treasures she had, she could only recover half of his injuries, and her strength was greatly reduced.
Xingbai is also a sensible person. He took the initiative to become the spirit of the Yuehua bracelet and protect it.
Today, the man opened his mouth and offered a cup of his own blood. Once he offers a cup, his vitality will be seriously damaged. I am afraid that his body, which has been recovered with great difficulty, will return to its previous state.
But the situation was critical at this time. He gritted his teeth and was about to agree, but Gu Shihan spoke first: "No! You want his blood, why not mine? I am a cultivator, my blood is full of spiritual power."
The ethereal voice sneered: "Do you think I can't see your thoughts? Although you have abundant spiritual power, the aura on your body is incompatible with mine, so I won't take your blood. Little fox, have you thought it over?"
Xing Bai glanced at Gu Shihan, his heart full of emotion. He said loudly to the air: "My heart blood may be useful to you, but if you take it by force, my fox clan will not let it go."
Gu Shihan tried to send Xingbai into the space, but the space couldn't sense it at all. There was really no way.
Xingbai was also surprised. He was the spirit of space. How could even he be blocked out by space? This seemed impossible.
"Hanhan, if he needs blood, just give it to him. This place is too weird. As long as we can leave here, it will be fine."
"Xingbai, no, have you forgotten how long you slept after losing blood one time? We can't take any risks."
The ethereal voice was silent for a moment: "Humph, then you can talk about it after you get past me."
As soon as he finished speaking, sharp thorns grew out of the rattan ball and approached them little by little.
Gu Shihan and Xingbai stood back to back. Just when the spikes were about to touch them, Gu Shihan offered a talisman, which instantly enlarged and emitted an intense light, and the spikes slowly melted.
Taking advantage of this opportunity, Gu Shihan used teleportation again and escaped from the rattan ball with Xingbai.
"Come with me quickly." Gu Shihan discovered a place with weak fluctuations of spiritual power and pulled Xingbai towards it, hoping that they could get out of this maze there.
The two of them ran wildly towards the place where the faint spiritual energy was fluctuating. The surrounding fog seemed to sense their intentions and kept changing its shape to try to stop them.
Gu Shihan made hand gestures and rays of spiritual light shot out to disperse the fog, while Xingbai used the fox clan's agility to explore the way ahead.
Suddenly, a stone door appeared in front of him. The stone door emitted a soft light and was engraved with ancient runes.
"What is this place? Is this where that person lives?" Gu Shihan wondered.
When they got closer, the door actually opened slowly by itself. Behind the stone door was a clear and transparent fairy pool with a rich fairy spirit.
