Chapter 244 This little thing is quite good at eating
"Filth-eating beast." Chu Xuanyi repeated the name while lying on the ground. Scattered records in ancient books flashed through his mind, and a gleam of light suddenly lit up in his eyes.
So that's how it is. No wonder this thing is naturally able to restrain this blood sacrifice formation.
Ah Jiu was confused when he heard this. "Sir, what is a filth-eating beast?"
"Don't worry about what it is." Xiao Yu's low voice interrupted her. Although he was struggling to stand, his mind was extremely clear. "Xuan Yi, can you still move?"
Chu Xuanyi smiled bitterly, "Don't worry, Your Majesty, I won't die yet."
"Okay." Xiao Yu's gaze was fixed on the top of the altar again. "Find a way to break the restriction, take the fruit and leave."
"I understand." Chu Xuanyi responded in a deep voice.
Although their conversation was not loud, every word was heard by the man in black robe.
"Leave?" The black-robed man snorted coldly, "You think you can take things from me with just a little beast? That's wishful thinking. Since you refuse to be sacrificed, I will personally send you off."
He suddenly clasped his hands together and chanted a spell, and the entire bone altar shook violently. The eye holes of the skulls embedded in the altar all lit up with scarlet light.
"In my name, I feed the souls with my blood. Command."
As he uttered the last word, the thousands of resentful souls that were originally trembling because of the little ball's roar became even more crazy. Countless twisted ghost faces emerged in the blood mist, staring straight at the little ball on the ground.
"Chiu."
The little dumpling seemed to sense the danger as well. The two small green leaves on its head stood up instantly, and all the white hair on its body exploded.
"Oh no, he's going to forcibly activate the formation to kill this spirit beast." Chu Xuanyi's face changed drastically.
"Little Tuanzi, come back quickly." Ajiu also called out anxiously.
But at this time, the little dumpling did not retreat. Instead, he raised his head and opened his mouth.
The torrent of resentful souls that had been rushing towards it with great momentum suddenly lost control, were forcibly pulled and deformed, and turned into black and red air currents that were sucked into the little dumpling's mouth.
One bite, two bites, three bites...
Hundreds of resentful souls were continuously swallowed by the little dumpling.
The little dumpling smacked his lips, and a hint of enjoyment flashed in his black bean-like eyes.
The blood mist in the entire valley began to thin at a speed visible to the naked eye.
The blood-red runes on the altar flashed wildly, and the transparent restriction protecting the ambergris fruit also began to fluctuate violently.
"Right now."
Chu Xuanyi took out a purple talisman from his arms, bit his fingertip and used his blood to draw the final stroke on the talisman.
This is the "Purple Sky Divine Thunder Talisman", which is extremely powerful.
"My Lord, protect Ah Jiu."
He roared, poured all his spiritual power into the talisman and threw it forward with all his might.
"Imperial command, the Nine Heavens Mysterious Brave, transform into divine thunder, the magnificent power of heaven, guided by the sword."
The purple talisman exploded in mid-air, turning into a purple lightning that tore through the blood mist and fiercely struck the restriction on top of the altar.
"You dare."
The man in black robe was horrified. He wanted to stop it, but the little ball held most of his attention, so he could only watch the purple divine thunder fall.
“Boom.”
A loud bang shook the valley.
The purple lightning collided violently with the transparent restriction.
A teeth-grinding "crackling" sound came from the surface of the ban, and countless cracks spread like spider webs, and then shattered with a loud bang.
A powerful energy shock wave spread out in all directions. Xiao Yu groaned and used up his last bit of strength to protect Ajiu behind him. The two were blown back by the air wave.
“It worked.”
A hint of joy appeared on Chu Xuanyi's face, and he rushed to the top of the altar in a flash. He picked up the glittering ambergris fruit, carefully put it in a jade box, and threw it to Ajiu with his backhand.
"Then, hurry up."
Ajiu hurriedly caught the jade box, and a refreshing fragrance instantly entered her nostrils, which lifted her spirits.
"roar."
Seeing the sacred object he had guarded for a thousand years being taken away, the man in black robe roared angrily, turned around and turned into a black shadow and rushed straight towards Ajiu.
"Ajiu, be careful." Xiao Yu exclaimed.
At this critical moment, a white shadow rushed out and blocked Ajiu's way.
It was the little thing with a round belly, the little dumpling.
It opened its mouth again towards the black-robed man who was rushing towards it.
"Chiu——"
Most of the black energy on the black-robed man disappeared in an instant. His body suddenly stopped and he groaned in pain. He flew backwards and hit the white bones on the altar heavily.
"Walk."
Chu Xuanyi grabbed Ajiu's wrist with one hand, and supported the staggering Xiao Yu with his other hand, and ran towards the valley entrance without looking back.
Seeing this, the little ball on the ground turned into a white light and followed quickly, not forgetting to turn around and make a "chirp" sound at the man in black robe.
"stop."
The man in black robe struggled to get up, but as soon as he moved, the resentment purified by the little ball instantly ran rampant in his body, causing him to spit out black blood again.
He could only watch as those figures quickly disappeared in the blood mist at the valley entrance.
"ah--"
The angry and unwilling roar echoed in the empty valley.
After a long time, the man in black robe slowly calmed down, looked at the direction of the valley entrance with a sinister look, took out a black bone whistle from his arms and blew it gently.
No sound was made.
But a signal invisible to the naked eye was transmitted to a distant unknown place at a strange frequency.
"My Lord."
"The ambergris fruit was taken away, but the prince is not dead."
"There's been a change of plan..."
Xiao Yu and his group did not dare to take the main road, and specifically chose those rugged and difficult paths. They ran for nearly an hour before stopping in a dense forest.
As soon as he stopped, Xiao Yu's tall body shook violently and fell straight forward.
"Brother Xiongxiong." Jiu screamed and held him tightly with his thin shoulders.
"Cousin."
Xiao Yu, who had been guarding outside the valley and finally joined them, rushed up quickly and held Xiao Yu on the left and right with Ajiu.
As soon as he touched Xiao Yu's body, he was shocked by the scorching temperature, "Why is it so hot, Xuan Yi, go and see how my cousin is doing."
Chu Xuanyi's condition was not much better. His face was as pale as paper and his breathing was disordered. It was obvious that he had suffered severe internal injuries in the previous battle.
He forced himself to suppress the fishy sweetness in his throat, walked quickly to Xiao Yu's side, put his hand on his pulse, and his brows instantly twisted into a "川" shape.
"No, Your Highness forced his latent energy to the limit. Now that that energy has been released, the curse within him will immediately backfire. The dragon vein is on the verge of complete collapse. If this continues, even a god cannot save it."
"What should we do? We should use the ambergris now." Xiao Yu was so anxious that he was sweating profusely.
"No." Chu Xuanyi flatly refused. "Ambergris fruit is a spiritual object of the utmost yang and strength. Its medicinal power is extremely overbearing. It must be refined first. Otherwise, given the prince's current condition, taking it directly would be like drinking poison to quench thirst. He would explode and die on the spot."
He looked around and said in a deep voice, "We can't stay here for long. We must find a completely safe and secluded place immediately. Xiao Yu, look around to see if there are any caves or something like that."
"Okay, I'll go right away." Xiao Yu didn't dare to delay and immediately used his skills to disappear into the forest.
