The demon realm was no smaller than the immortal swamp. Although Youyou and Fengrong flew very fast, it still took them a whole day to reach the Netherworld Swamp that the Demon King had mentioned. They had originally thought it would be an ordinary dense forest or a swamp, but when they arrived, they realized it was nothing like that at all.
It was noon, yet the woods before me seemed to have entered night prematurely, exceptionally dark, as if even the sunlight deliberately avoided this area. Even before getting close, I could feel a chilling aura emanating from them; the entire forest seemed shrouded in something, making me hesitant to approach.
"Such heavy Yin energy." Feng Rong frowned, then quickly formed a hand seal to protect You You before flying into the forest.
Perhaps because Feng Rong is a member of the Phoenix Clan, she is naturally able to resist this Yin energy. As soon as they landed, the Yin energy around them took the initiative to give way, creating a small, quiet place in this dim forest.
Youyou's first impression was of the quiet. The forest was so quiet that there wasn't even the sound of birds chirping or insects humming, which inexplicably gave her a feeling of boundless loneliness.
"Feng Rong, can you sense the location of the Nightmare Demon?" She was really not proficient in sensing and detection techniques.
Feng Rong carefully sensed it for a moment, then shook his head. "No, the Yin energy here is too heavy. Unless all the Yin energy is purified, my divine sense cannot extend too far. Or should we just burn this forest down?" After saying that, he made a gesture as if to set the forest on fire.
"Okay, okay!" Youyou quickly grabbed his hand. "Protecting the environment is everyone's responsibility. Let's search slowly!" It would be such a waste to burn down such a large forest.
Before he could respond, Youyou grabbed his hand and started walking forward. Feng Rong was initially reluctant, even though there was a faster way. But when he looked down at the hand being held, he suddenly thought it was worth searching.
The two continued deeper into the forest. Yin energy is usually emitted by ghosts, but strangely, although the yin energy was very strong here, they did not see any ghosts or even a remnant soul.
Had they all been eaten by the Nightmare Demon? Youyou was puzzled. After thinking for a moment, she chose a place with the densest Yin energy and walked forward.
Glug...
Suddenly a faint sound came from nearby, and Youyou stopped in her tracks.
"What's wrong?" Feng Rong also stopped and looked at her in confusion.
"Did you hear anything?" she asked seriously.
"What was that sound?" Feng Rong was completely unaware.
Glug glug...
"Here it comes again, listen carefully!" The same voice rang out again, even louder than before.
Feng Rong still looked bewildered. "I didn't hear anything."
"Can't you hear me?!" Youyou was startled. Was she the only one who could hear her?
"What kind of sound was that?" Feng Rong's expression tightened.
"I can't quite explain it, it's like..." Youyou didn't know how to describe it for a moment, but then she noticed that the sound was getting louder, a gurgling sound. It sounded like something was rolling, or like boiling water bubbling, or even more like... someone had an upset stomach?
Before she could think it through, she heard another, even more rapid gurgling sound...
Immediately following was a loud bang, which shook the ground twice. This time, Feng Rong finally felt it. Moreover, right in front of the two of them, a yellow dust cloud suddenly rose from the previously silent forest, drifting towards them like a sandstorm, and carrying a faint pungent smell.
Wait, this can't be...
"It's poisonous smoke!" Feng Rong exclaimed in surprise. She turned around, grabbed You You, and leaped into the air, dodging the billowing dust and smoke as they flew toward the direction from which the sound came. Only after they had bypassed the entire cloud of dust and smoke and passed through a dense forest did the two of them see what had happened.
Below, a flat area appeared in the dense forest, and in the very center of it lay a large pit, two or three meters deep. A gigantic, pitch-black beast, exuding an eerie aura, lay on the edge of the pit, its rear end raised, relieving itself in the depths. Behind the beast, plumes of familiar yellow dust billowed continuously…
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Behemoth: "..."
The entire area was silent. The only sound in the dense forest was the rumbling of the giant beast's belly.
The scene became incredibly awkward for a moment...
"Sorry to bother you!" Youyou blurted out, and subconsciously turned around to leave. She didn't mean to watch it go to the toilet.
The giant beast below seemed to have realized what was happening. It tucked in its rear end, roared loudly, and its body was filled with yin energy. Enraged, it flew directly towards them.
"Watch out!" Feng Rong immediately stepped aside to protect You You behind her, and habitually summoned a ball of flame to throw at the giant beast.
Youyou was startled and her eyes widened suddenly. "Wait, don't use fire, it will..." explode!
Boom!
It was too late. Before she could finish speaking, Feng Rong's fire had already shot out, and a loud bang resounded through the sky.
The yellow dust and smoke covering an area of several miles instantly ignited and exploded, and a mushroom cloud could be faintly seen rising above the forest. Most of the forest was instantly turned into scorched earth.
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Behemoth: "..."
So... it's going to explode!
?('?д?')?
Youyou glanced at the scorched earth below. Luckily, they were wearing magical robes, otherwise they would have been burned to a crisp. However, the giant beast below was also unharmed; the yin energy emanating from its body had directly blocked the explosion.
But the explosion only fueled its rage, making its fur stand on end and its aura of malevolence almost materialize. It let out threatening growls, its eyes turning crimson, and pawed at the ground before charging forward once more.
"Wait, let's talk this out!" Youyou instinctively tried to explain that she really didn't mean to disturb it while it was using the toilet!
The giant beast charged forward recklessly, and as it drew closer, a familiar rumbling sound suddenly rang out.
The menacing beast suddenly came to a stop. Its black-furred head bared its teeth and its expression changed several times, as if it was trying its best to endure something. Its four claws were crossed and clenched tightly. It raised its head and glared fiercely at the two people in the air, as if to say: You just wait!
Then, it quickly ran back to the edge of the pit, sticking its rear end out and kicking up dust again, while angrily growling at the two of them.
Youyou: "..."
Feng Rong: "..."
Is this diarrhea?!
But the giant beast seemed to hate them. After crouching for a while, it charged again, wanting revenge. But before it had even run halfway, its stomach rumbled betrayally once more, so it had no choice but to stumble back and continue crouching.
He went back and forth four or five times, his steps growing heavier and heavier until he finally collapsed to the ground.
Is this... exhaustion from diarrhea?
(???????????)
