Chapter 450 Bad omen...?
Upon hearing his disciple's report, Yuan He Zhenren's eyes widened in an instant: "What?!"
At this time, Yu Sheng was still wondering what a "genie" was - it took him two seconds to associate a psychotic snake with this word...
Then, the disciple who came to report quickly described the situation at the bottom of the Demon Suppression Tower. When he was halfway through, the Yuan Ling next to him could no longer stay: "The Omen Wandering Star suddenly went crazy? We have to go there quickly!"
As soon as he finished speaking, he remembered something and quickly turned around and bowed to the man: "Well, something unexpected happened in the Demon Suppression Tower, I have to go over and take a look, really..."
"It's okay, it's okay - I'll go with you," Yu Sheng waved his hand before the other party finished speaking, "I just happen to have something to discuss with that 'Evil Omen Wandering Star'."
Yuan Ling nodded, without saying anything else, then raised his hand and made hand gestures, preparing to soar into the sky.
As a result, just when he raised his hand halfway, he saw Yu Sheng on the opposite side casually opened a door, and across the door was the Demon Suppression Tower...
"...I forgot about your hand," Yuan Ling was stunned and clapped his hands, "Okay, let's go this fast!"
At the bottom of the Demon-Suppressing Tower, a huge cave that leads directly to the spring of earth veins is full of flowing light. The red light emitted by the underground magma and the ghostly light emitted by the surrounding earth veins complement each other. There is still some turbulent lightning above the huge platform located in the center of the vein flow, but the demon-suppressing stone pillars around the platform have returned to silence - between the stone pillars, criss-crossing rune chains tightly bind the huge stone ball with a terrifying face, which is motionless, as if it is in a deep sleep.
As soon as he arrived at this place, Yu Sheng noticed the tiny electric flashes remaining in the air, and when he turned his head, he saw that Hu Li was all furry - the fox girl's tail and ears were fluffy due to static electricity, and she curiously pulled one of her tails from behind and rubbed it in her hands, which immediately made a crackling sound.
The sparks lit up the fox girl's sparkling eyes. She happily rubbed her tail against Yu Sheng's arm and said, "My benefactor! There's static electricity!"
Yu Sheng was instantly shocked and quickly stepped back: "Stop, stop, stop! Stay away from me - go with Luna."
Luna tilted her head in confusion.
Yu Sheng casually explained: "You have an iron body, but your whole body is grounded..."
Luna nodded: "Yeah, that's right."
Hu Li tucked his tail in awkwardly, and let one of his tails hang on the ground as a ground wire, and then sniffed: "What's that smell?"
"It smells burnt." Yu Sheng sighed and raised his hand to point near the edge of the platform.
A huge snake was lying unconsciously between two demon-suppressing stone pillars. Several tower-guarding disciples were standing nearby with nervous looks. The huge snake was none other than the Snake Queen who had been struck unconscious by lightning. Now and then, lightning flashed between her heads occasionally, and her body twitched from time to time. Her charred scales emitted the aroma of barbecue.
Fortunately, she was a great demon, so she just fainted even after such a miserable situation.
Master Yuan He walked forward with a subtle expression, asked the disciples to leave for the time being, then bent down to check on Snake Princess's condition, and finally breathed a sigh of relief: "Fortunately, it's just a superficial injury, it was just a few lightning strikes on the head, so she fainted."
Irene sat on Yu Sheng's shoulder: "Which head?"
"Human brain," Yuan He Zhenren said casually, "She mainly relies on this brain to think about problems... although her usual thinking is messy."
As soon as he finished speaking, the snake princess lying on the ground seemed to have heard the voice, and her body twitched slightly. The big demon tried to open his eyes, breathing weakly: "Yuan He old thief... you TM..."
Yuan He Zhenren took two steps back in an instant, and Yuan Ling beside him could only bite the bullet and step forward to ask: "Snake Ji, what happened?"
“What’s the matter… you bunch of old Taoist priests, how dare you ask!” The head of the snake princess widened his eyes, but his body was still stiff in place due to spasms, and his tone was as if he was about to cry, “You TM feed shit to that ball, and when you feed it, it gets stressed, and when it gets stressed, I get struck by lightning, and when I get struck by lightning, I curse in the street, and when I curse in the street, it curses me, and when it curses me, I get shit, and when it eats shit, it gets stressed, and when it gets stressed…”
It was obvious that Snake Princess had been greatly wronged. Once she opened her mouth, she could not stop talking. The Yuan Ling next to her could only interrupt her quickly: "Stop, stop, stop! Okay, I have completely understood. You don't need to describe it in such detail."
Irene poked Yu Sheng's head and said, "Hey, Yu Sheng, this girl's words are even rougher than mine."
Yu Sheng opened his mouth, but what he wanted to say was stuck in his bronchus, and he couldn't spit out anything - the good news was that he also roughly understood what was happening in front of him...
At this time, Yuan Hao focused his attention on the huge motionless stone ball in the center of the platform.
"…The Omen Wandering Star has been very well behaved over the years. Why did it suddenly become agitated today? It even triggered the suppression of the Demon Suppression Formation." The old commander frowned and turned to look at the snake. "Snake Princess, what did the Omen Wandering Star say before it went crazy? What has happened to it in the past few days?"
"It's talking nonsense, how would I know?" Snake Queen immediately replied with her neck stiffened, but then she saw Yuan Hao take out a brick from his sleeve, and instantly displayed the snake's ability to bend and stretch. "I, I just heard it say a few days ago that Taixu Lingshu was going to be in a catastrophic disaster, and then just now it suddenly broke down and said something about the bad omen being eliminated, it was impossible and so on, and... oh, and 'only the goddess of bad omen is qualified' and so on, it also said that it was abandoned - I really don't understand!"
Yu Sheng was listening nearby and muttered subconsciously: "A catastrophe... the goddess of bad omen?"
He raised his head and met the solemn gaze of Master Yuan Ling.
"The Omen Wandering Star has the ability to predict disasters to a certain extent. It is not difficult to associate the 'catastrophic disaster' it mentioned. It is most likely the disaster of the 'Star Body' this time," Yuan Ling Zhenren said in a deep voice, "but... I don't know what the 'Omen Goddess' means. I have never heard it mention this name before."
Yu Sheng looked at the knowledgeable Yuan Hao Zhenren again, but the latter also shook his head: "I have never heard of it either."
"Anyway, it doesn't sound like a good thing," Irene muttered as she sat on Yu Sheng's shoulder, shaking her head and swaying her body back and forth. "She's called 'Goddess', so she must be an evil god."
"Don't move, or you'll fall again." Yu Sheng held the swaying doll with his hand, and at the same time looked at Yuan Ling with a thoughtful look, "Let's not talk about the name 'Omen Goddess' for now, the key is... a 'ball' like the Omen Wandering Planet, can it have 'beliefs'?!"
"...This is indeed suspicious." Yuan Ling frowned and muttered as he walked to the center of the platform and looked up at the terrifying "stone ball".
The stone ball with a terrifying face was chained tightly to the ground, and seemed to have fallen into a deep sleep due to the backlash of the previous Demon-Suppressing Array. There were still red burn marks on the gray-white shell of the ball from being struck by immortal thunder.
The Evil Omen Wandering Star did not react at all to the approach of Yuan Ling Zhenren.
Yu Sheng also carried Irene to the stone ball, and they both looked up at it.
The little doll touched his chin, thought for a long time and said, "I can't imagine what the 'goddess' looks like from the perspective of a ball... Could it be a ball too?"
"It might be pink." Hu Li also strolled over and analyzed seriously.
"I like black," Irene said, putting her hands on her hips. "Black looks mysterious!"
Yu Sheng did not participate in this meaningless discussion. He just thought silently for a moment and then suddenly walked forward and raised his hand.
Irene was shocked instantly: "Ah, Yu Sheng, what are you going to do?!"
“Just show your traditional skills.” Yu Sheng said without even raising his head.
The next second, a black shadow flashed over and swung the knife.
Yu Sheng was stunned for a moment, then turned his head to look at the Saint Lady who was standing beside him, gracefully putting away the blade on her fingertips: "...I haven't said anything yet."
Luna drawled, "Knight, you must be in tune with your master."
Yu Sheng wanted to remind Miss Saint that this is not how the term "telepathy" is used, but before he could open his mouth, he discovered that the wound on his hand had begun to heal. He could only swallow his words back and pressed his hand on the outer shell of the Ominous Planet, while concentrating on controlling the penetration and connection of the blood.
——In fact, he was not sure what the use of doing this would be. After all, the Omen Wandering Star looked very strange. It didn't look like a human, a physical entity, or an angel. God knew what would happen if he smeared some blood on it. But Yu Sheng had one good point, that is, he never considered too many things when he "gave a try". To put it bluntly, this thing looked like a stone, otherwise he would have scraped some residue off it to taste it...
Previously, the Ominous Star was active and didn't look like it would cooperate honestly, so Yu Sheng didn't feel comfortable taking action. Now that the opponent had fainted, he certainly wouldn't let go of the opportunity to "give it a try."
The blood was absorbed into the body by the stone ball almost instantly.
Yu Sheng was slightly stunned and blinked.
The absorption speed was so fast that he didn't even have a chance to react - it felt like the Omen Wandering Star was actively sucking in all the blood rather than the blood "penetrating" and "infecting" the monster.
“…What the hell?” Irene was startled and blinked as she muttered, “Don’t the first contact usually seep in slowly?”
Yu Sheng also frowned, and after a moment's hesitation, he pressed his palm on the outer shell of the Ominous Planet again, while slightly closing his eyes.
He did not feel the blood connection being established - but instead directly "saw" a curtain of chaos.
The curtain seemed to be constructed by countless overlapping layers of fine mesh. It was very close, yet out of reach; very far, yet seemed to be right in front of one's eyes. Deep in the curtain, there was some huge thing moving slowly. A terrifying phantom appeared in the distance, moving its long limbs, stirring the edge of chaos.
He tried to reach forward - but the next second, Irene's voice "pulled" him out.
"What do you want me to do?" The little doll on his shoulder stared at him with scarlet eyes, looking at him in confusion.
Yu Sheng: “…Ah?”
