Gu Qingxi listened carefully to the footsteps getting closer and closer. She was sure that the footsteps were only from a monster.
Tan Taixuan was behind the door, looking out from the gap, but he could not see anything clearly. He held Feng Xiatian's sword in his hand, ready to help in case of any accident.
Liaokong and Feng Xiatian were calm. They never thought that Qingxi would fail.
They trusted Qingxi almost without reservation.
Tan Taixuan waited nervously, but he only heard the sound of a sharp weapon piercing the flesh, which was very fast and short.
The next moment, Gu Qingxi was dragging something, turned back quickly, opened the door, dragged the thing in his hand back, and then closed the door. Feng
Xiatian and Liaokong came up immediately.
"It's ugly."
"What is this?"
The two spoke at the same time.
Needless to say, the one who said it was ugly must be the monk Liaokong.
"Actually, I suspected it was a monster before, but I think it's a little different." Tan Taixuan said beside him.
Gu Qingxi looked at the pitch-black monster on the ground, and at this moment she agreed with Kong's words.
Ugly, really ugly.
The whole body was black, shiny black.
The head was as big as a watermelon, bald, with two pointed ears that were very abrupt, no eyebrows, only two big eyes, and no eyelashes. The nose was sunken, and the nostrils were facing the sky, so water would definitely get in when it rained. The mouth was thin and long, almost reaching the ears on both sides.
The hands and feet were almost the same length, and both had sharp nails. The belly was round and bulging, and the belly button was turned outward.
"I don't even have the desire to dissect it. Let alone eat it." Gu Qingxi looked disgusted.
Le Kong and Feng Xia Tian looked at each other, and they saw the words they dared not say in each other's eyes. See, they knew it was like this, but Qingxi still didn't admit that she wanted to try everything she saw to see if she could eat it. But this kind of black and ugly thing, they didn't want to eat it or dare to eat it.
"You said you suspected that this was a monster?" Gu Qingxi looked up at Tan Tai.
"Like some low-level demon beasts, but they don't have demonic energy, and those low-level demon beasts don't have such pointed ears, and their belly buttons don't turn outward." Tan Tai said.
"What do demon beasts look like? What do demons look like?" Although Gu Qingxi had heard a lot of rumors about the demon world, she had never seen it in person.
Because the road from the demon world to the human world was sealed a long time ago.
In fact, there was a great war between humans and demons before.
The demons invaded the human world, and humans retreated step by step. Many humans became food for the demons.
The human world was devastated, blood flowed like a river, and the world was devastated.
At that time, it was not an exaggeration to say that the human world was hell.
All human beings united to fight, whether they were mortals or monks.
Later, humans paid a huge price, with countless mortals killed and injured, and the number of monks almost reduced by two-thirds. Many great powers also died in that battle.
Humans finally repelled the demons and sealed the road from the demon world to the human world, which saved the human world.
During this long period of time, humans were able to catch their breath and slowly recover.
This period of history was too long ago, probably tens of thousands of years ago.
So for people today, the demons seem to exist only in legends.
However, the demons do exist.
"Low-level demons are like a combination of beasts and humans. High-level demons are incredibly large, but they can transform into human form. The stronger they are, the more beautiful their transformed appearance is. The demon beasts are much uglier and look weird." Tan Tai explained to Gu Qingxi.
"This thing on the ground is so ugly, so you reasonably suspect that it is a low-level demon beast?" Gu Qingxi asked.
"Not only because of the ugliness, but also because I have seen a demon beast illustration in a sect scroll before. This black monster looks very much like the lowest-level demon beast in the demon world, called the black stasis beast. But as I said just now, it doesn't look like it. The black stasis beast doesn't have such pointed ears, and its belly button is not turned outward." Tan Tai explained.
"Maybe it's because they live in this place that they have mutated?" Gu Qingxi seemed to be talking to Tan Tai Xing, or talking to herself. Gu Qingxi
was thinking, if this is really a demon beast, then it's not surprising that the human race is defeated by the demon race.
It's just that the lowest-level demon beast makes mortals unable to resist and become the food of the demon beast.
When the middle and high-level demon beasts face the cultivators, the cultivators will also have a hard time.
Liao Kong took a branch and poked the belly button of the monster corpse on the ground.
He felt that Gu Qingxi's guess made sense.
Feng Xia Tian saw Liao Kong poking the protruding belly button, so he also took a branch and poked it.
Both of them wanted to poke the protruding belly button back.
Tan Tai Xing looked at the childish behavior of the two and was a little speechless.
"I think this may be the low-level demon beast black stasis beast you mentioned, but in this space, we can't use spiritual power, and the demonic energy on them has temporarily disappeared. Has the appearance changed as well?" Gu Qingxi asked.
Tan Taiyan frowned: "It's possible. If it's really as you said, then, is this place the border between the demon world and the human world?"
"Or a gap formed at the border between the two worlds." Gu Qingxi made a bold guess.
"Then how do we leave this place?" Feng Xiatian dropped the branch in her hand and asked.
"We can try to find the edge of this gap, break it, and leave here." Gu Qingxi replied.
Tan Taiyan's expression suddenly became a little solemn: "But there is also a problem. If our guess is right, this place is the intersection of the two worlds. If we break the border, will we return to the human world or... go to the demon world?"
Gu Qingxi frowned: "This is indeed a problem."
"Another question is, how to find the edge and how to break it?" Tan Taiyan actually thought about these questions before, but never as clearly as today.
"This is a good question." Gu Qingxi looked serious, then looked at Tan Taiyan with appreciation and nodded.
Feng Xiatian, Luo Kong, and Tan Tai looked at Gu Qingxi together, waiting expectantly for her next answer.
Then Gu Qingxi said calmly, "That's a good question. I don't know either."
Feng Xiatian: “…”
Lekong: “…”
Tan Taixuan was also silent. He really didn’t understand, why could he be so confident without knowing anything? Gu Qingxi is really an amazing girl.
