Bai Yumo confirmed her guess and explained to her:
"When you advance, there will be a bigger reaction, and the danger is also greater; while ordinary advancements will only make people feel refreshed, and then their spiritual power will return."
Shen Wuyou suddenly realized: "So that's how it is..."
So she was able to advance even without touching the little green ball? Why? Could it be that during their fight, spiritual energy leaked out, and she happened to absorb it?
Shen Wuyou said that she really liked this kind of surprise, and even said that in the future when they fought, she would set up a tent nearby and watch their fight leisurely and comfortably, while silently absorbing spiritual energy to improve herself.
Is this the legendary feeling of winning without doing anything?
It’s so cool!
But this Peony Axe...
Shen Wuyou couldn't help but frown.
As soon as she approached, she felt a terrible, cruel and murderous aura coming towards her. Even though it was mixed with the rich fragrance of peony flowers, it could not cover up the strong smell of blood.
Is such an evil thing really the legendary holy weapon?
"Can I touch this Peony Axe?"
"Sure, feel free to touch it. It's cool and quite comfortable."
Bai Yumo pushed the cherry-pink peony axe forward. Seeing that they didn't notice anything unusual, Shen Wuyou began to wonder if he was overthinking it, so he stretched out his finger and lightly touched the peony axe.
However, even with such a tentative touch, she actually noticed something unusual -!
The moment her fingers touched the axe, Shen Wuyou felt a flash of scarlet color before her eyes, and at that moment her ears were filled with creepy and terrifying screams, so shrill and sharp that they almost pierced her brain membrane.
The sound was desolate and miserable, mixed with desperate and helpless struggle, rising and falling, sharp and piercing, making people shudder with fear and hair standing on end.
Shen Wuyou took a step back the moment she felt something was wrong, but the miserable and terrifying bloodthirsty aura still invaded her mind. She couldn't help but let out a low cry of pain, forcing herself to get rid of that feeling.
Seeing this, Bai Yumo quickly retracted the Peony Axe in his hand, stepped forward to support the staggering Shen Wuyou, and asked worriedly:
"What's wrong? What's wrong?"
Shen Wuyou's headache was gone, but she stared deeply at the cherry-pink, seemingly harmless Peony Axe, saying in a deep voice, "Just now... the moment I touched it, I saw a blood-red sky, shrill screams of pain, and desperate struggles..."
"Anyway, this thing has a very strong evil aura. Is it really the legendary holy weapon?"
Bai Yumo was obviously confused when she heard this. She stared at the Peony Axe in her hand and didn't notice anything unusual. She looked at the others and they all seemed to have disbelief in their eyes.
But Bai Yumo knew that Wu You would not say such nonsense for no reason, so she did not question him. Instead, she quietly put the Peony Axe into the storage ring and said to her seriously:
"We haven't noticed anything unusual, but this sacred artifact only appears once every five hundred years and disappears once every five hundred years. We know very little about it, so we still need to consult the dean and the others before we come up with a plan."
Shen Wuyou didn't know why he was the only one who could feel that terrifying evil spirit, but being able to remind them to be more careful was also a good result, so he nodded and said "hmm".
With the help of Shen Wuyou, this cross-level battle did not cause much harm to them, so they discussed and decided to recuperate in Juancheng, replenish supplies, and prepare for the next journey.
They are the unmatched talented immortals on Xuwang Mountain. This time they helped the villagers get rid of the monsters on Huangyan Mountain and restored Juancheng's former beauty. The people of Juancheng are very grateful to them.
The city lord even invited them to live in the city lord's mansion to show his gratitude.
But everyone was used to the boredom on the Xuwang Mountain, and now that they had finally come down the mountain, they naturally wanted to experience the various aspects of the folk life and the local customs, so they politely declined the city lord's kindness.
They found a popular inn with unique cuisine and a wide selection of storytelling and opera. The six of them sat by the attic window, sipping tea and wine while watching the hustle and bustle of traffic below and listening to the bustling crowds.
Shen Wuyou was not allowed to show the dazzling blood-red red spider lily flower on her forehead to others, so she had been wearing a white gauze veil these days, which made her look ethereal and mysterious.
But... she always felt that there was something wrong with those people's eyes...
It was understandable that the people around her were looking at her with awe and envy. After all, they had such a celestial aura and handsome looks, they must be extraordinary.
But why when they looked at her, behind those pairs of astonished eyes was only greed and...contempt?
Looking at those cannibalistic eyes that almost wanted to tear her apart, she finally couldn't help but ask aloud:
"Yumo, do you think... those people are looking at me in a strange way...?"
Hearing this, Bai Yumo raised her eyes and looked around, then smiled knowingly: "Not surprising."
"Isn't this strange? He's just about to rush over and swallow me alive, okay?!" Shen Wuyou felt that her heart was deeply hurt, and she didn't believe that Bai Yumo couldn't see it.
Sure enough, the next second Bai Yumo smiled strangely, and said in a gloomy tone: "It's really not surprising that they have such a reaction. After all, in their eyes, you are just a delicious and nourishing food."
Shen Wuyou looked at her in horror: "They still eat people?!"
"No..."
