Chapter 65: Snatch
In the small house at the end of the long street.
Lu Fei cleaned up the messy house, kept flipping through the classics, and finally came to the conclusion that he might have to dig it out with a shovel.
This was a real physical job, so he didn't bring Jian An Ning with him. Instead, he picked up his self-defense items and shovel and walked firmly towards a place a hundred miles east of Luming City.
Jian An Ning stayed alone in the courtyard and did not follow them, but looked around.
I thought to myself: Why is Su Jiang missing?
On the other side, Lu Fei put on his backpack, prepared all the necessary items, and started heading east. He crossed the river, counted the distance, and when he had walked about a hundred miles, he found that he was still in the mountains and forests.
He was lucky, probably because it was broad daylight, so he didn't see any monsters in the mountains.
But if we just keep digging, shovel at a time, how long will it take to reach the magma?
Lu Fei was a little impatient, but then he remembered that he was no longer a mortal, but a cultivator, and perhaps he could find a solution using the cultivator's way.
He tried to channel his spiritual power into his eyes, and the world around him suddenly changed dramatically.
He seemed to be able to vaguely see the vague shadow of a flame behind the trees, flowers, plants and rocks.
Lu Fei didn't understand what this was, nor did he know that even if other cultivators used the same method, they would not be able to see this scene.
He also saw a path leading underground from an area covered by vegetation and rocks.
Lu Fei took his things and walked down the road.
This is not a man-made road or tunnel. Its rock walls are full of traces of corrosion and burning. It looks more like something underground has erupted to the surface here in some distant era.
There are many places that ordinary people cannot pass through, but perhaps because of the blood of God, Lu Fei's physical fitness has been greatly improved, so he can safely see the scene at the bottom, a lava lake.
In fact, Lu Fei used his hands to support himself so that he did not fall directly into the lava lake below.
There is a large space between the tunnel and the lava lake. The light and heat of the lava fill this space. From Lu Fei's perspective, he can see black rock walls all around. At first glance, it looks like a corner of the trial ground.
Lu Fei carefully adjusted his posture, used his right leg instead of his right hand, and then took out the small handful of Jiutian Xirang.
He poured his spiritual power into it, and instantly the Nine Heavens Xirang broke away from his hand and fell into the magma lake. As the infused spiritual power continued to increase, the Nine Heavens Xirang gradually turned into an unbreakable wall, dividing the entire magma lake into two.
The light of the magma dimmed a lot. Lu Fei breathed a sigh of relief, then gritted his teeth and crawled back to the ground through the tunnel.
at the same time.
In Luming City, Jian Anning was looking for traces of a fox on the long street.
At the moment when the Jiutian Xirang completely isolated the magma lake, she felt the vibration of spiritual energy in Luming City. She subconsciously looked towards the east, wondering what the gods of Dongchang wanted to do?
But she couldn't figure it out, so she continued to look for the fox.
Finally, in the corner of the long street, I found the fox with dirty fur and trembling body hiding in the corner of an alley.
Jian Anning held the fox's skin by the scruff of its neck, looked into its eyes, and asked expressionlessly, "What are you hiding here for?"
The fox looked at Jane An Ning aggrievedly and cried a few times.
Jian Anning tilted her head and said, "Someone wants to take you away?"
The fox nodded vigorously, and hugged Jane An Ning's arm tightly with its limbs and claws, so that when Jane An Ning let go, the whole fox was perched on Jane An Ning.
Jane Anning: It’s so heavy.
Once again, she deeply felt the fragile skin of this human body.
But Jane Anning did not push the fox off her body, but took it back to the end of the long street.
Coincidentally, Lu Fei also came back at this time, and they met again in the afterglow of the sunset.
"Aning!" Lu Fei said happily, "I succeeded!"
Jian An Ning nodded slightly, and was infected by Lu Fei's joy and smiled a little bit.
Then they walked together towards the temple in the center of Luming City.
The pomegranate flowers in front of the temple were still in full bloom. Inside the temple, Wu Xi looked at Lu Fei with shock in his eyes.
"Are you done yet?"
Lu Fei nodded affirmatively.
Wu Xi walked around the temple with his whisk in his arms, completely unaware of the two outsiders present.
"What's wrong with you?" Lu Fei looked at Wu Xi's actions in confusion, and his heart was full of doubts.
Wu Xi replied impatiently, "This is a ritual to help you summon the gods and obtain their blood."
Lu Fei scratched his head and believed what Wu Xi said.
Not long after, a golden ball of light really appeared on the altar in front of the statue. After the light dissipated, a bottle of god's blood was revealed.
Wu Xi also seemed to have calmed down at this time, and acted a bit like a hermit. He said to Lu Fei, "You have completed this mission quite well. Take this bottle of God's Blood. Remember, you must come on time every month to complete the oracle and obtain the God's Blood. Otherwise, it will be a punishment."
Lu Fei took the divine blood nonchalantly, but suddenly realized something.
He then stopped walking and asked Wuxi, "As long as you drink the blood of God, you will always have to fulfill the oracle, or you will die from the torture?"
Wu Xi's expression was icy, and a malicious smile appeared at the corner of his lips. He said, "That's right."
Lu Fei felt that this was very wrong.
If this is the case, then doesn't it mean that everyone who has worked hard to pass the trial will unconditionally become a subordinate of the temple?
No matter how difficult the oracle is, it must be completed, otherwise one will be tortured to death.
What exactly is this god doing? What does it regard these people as? What exactly is the blood of the gods?
Then, Lu Fei suddenly remembered that he had shared the blood of God with Huang Xian. Huang Xian's leg injury could be healed, but he could not become a monk and could not see the temple. However, he did drink the blood of God. How could someone like Huang Xian fulfill the oracle?
Lu Fei asked the question in his mind directly.
Wu Xi's smile widened a little, and he said, "So, don't give the blood of God to people like that. How can someone who can't even see the temple possibly fulfill the oracle?"
Lu Fei was suddenly shocked and realized that such a long time had passed and he seemed to have never seen Huang Xian again.
An inexplicable feeling arose in his heart, as if he was rushing towards some shocking scam without hesitation.
On the way back, Lu Fei was a little absent-minded. Jian An Ning called him several times, but he just responded softly, and his soul had flown away without him knowing where it was.
Jane Anning thought for a while and winked at the fox on her body.
The fox understood in an instant, and climbed onto Lu Fei reluctantly, rubbing Lu Fei's hand like a kitten.
Lu Fei had no reaction.
The fox suddenly felt strong-willed. He jumped off Lu Fei, blocked Lu Fei's way, and jumped and circled in front of Lu Fei like a puppy.
However, Lu Fei didn't notice it, so he almost fell flat on his face.
Fortunately, Jian An Ning supported Lu Fei in time, thus avoiding the tragedy.
Only then did Lu Fei notice the fox jumping down.
At this moment, its ears were drooping, and it looked pitiful and dejected.
Without even thinking, Lu Fei patted its head and exclaimed, "How can a fox be born from an egg?"
The fox perked up all of a sudden, staring at him fiercely with its round black eyes, as if someone had stepped on its tail.
Jian Anning scratched his head and said, "He may not want to mention this."
Lu Fei:?
Can Aning understand what the fox says?
Just as some nonsensical thoughts were flashing through his mind, someone suddenly stopped them with an unfriendly look on his face.
"Hand over this fox."
A group of unfamiliar figures surrounded him, and only the leader looked familiar to Lu Fei.
That person was none other than Lu Xun, a member of the Lu family who had failed the trial before.
When Lu Xun saw Lu Fei with the fox, he couldn't help but feel a little disgusted and resentful.
Previously, he had wanted to rely on his influence in the Lu family to directly kill Lu Fei and Jian An Ning and seize the divine blood.
However, he didn't expect that the person he sent would eventually return empty-handed because of an old woman, forcing him to become a cultivator through another secret method of the Lu family.
"Why?" Lu Fei didn't understand why these people were picking on a fox.
Unexpectedly, Lu Xun's expression was filled with a mixture of sarcasm and pride. He said, "Because taking it away is the mission given to me by the oracle."
Lu Fei's face suddenly showed a look of shock. He said bluntly: "But didn't you fail the trial and didn't get the blood of God?"
To Lu Xun's ears, these words were very harsh, especially since he brought so many people with him.
Lu Fei's words were almost tantamount to publicly executing him in front of everyone.
The resentment continued to grow, so much so that Lu Xun could hardly hold back the expression on his face, so he grabbed the fox while Lu Fei wasn't paying attention and stuffed it into a golden cage.
Lu Fei immediately drew out his long sword and pointed it at Lu Xun. His expression turned completely cold as he said, "A member of the main branch of the Lu family actually robbed someone just because they had a disagreement?"
"Because it's a divine oracle." Lu Xun didn't feel guilty at all.
Another oracle, Lu Fei thought to himself, why does he feel that this god does nothing reliable? What makes it a god?
In an instant, before Lu Fei could react, the group of people rushed forward, some of them wanted to take his life directly, and some of them went towards Jian An Ning.
Lu Fei repelled those people in a few moves, but Jian An Ning was unable to make an effective counterattack, so she was caught by them.
Only then did Lu Xun reveal a genuine smile and said, "But this is my own idea."
