"???"
However, just as Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao were terrified, what happened next left Chi Chen with three question marks in his mind.
The two split black shadows were instantly repelled when they came into contact with the thin veil of mist covering Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao's bodies.
"???"
Above the two dark shadows, two holes resembling eyes appeared. At this moment, not only Chi Chen, but also the others were filled with doubt, and their bodies, which had been flung away, were stunned in mid-air.
After a moment of surprise, Chi Chen instantly understood the reason for the matter.
The cloak of night can block the invasion of all external evil spirits, and those two dark shadows should also be a kind of evil spirit.
After a brief moment of stunned silence, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao sprang into action, instantly rushing towards the two dark figures.
"boom!"
Chi Chen's fists and Hu Miaomiao's spiked club created a sonic boom in the air. The two of them were going all out from the start. These two split black shadows were too strange, as they could appear behind them silently. Therefore, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao dared not be careless in the slightest.
Moreover, Chi Chen felt that the uncomfortable aura emanating from them seemed familiar, as if he had sensed it somewhere before. However, Chi Chen didn't have time to think about it further; he had to deal with the two dark figures first.
Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao's movements were swift and decisive; their fists and spiked clubs struck the two dark figures simultaneously.
"puff!"
"puff!"
Two muffled sounds rang out. Chi Chen felt as if he had hit a piece of extremely tough black cloth. The somewhat soft and squishy touch made Chi Chen slightly uncomfortable.
"This feeling..."
Suddenly, Chi Chen frowned, finally remembering where that feeling of familiarity he had felt earlier came from.
"Miaomiao, channel your spiritual power into their bodies with all your might!"
With a loud shout, white light surged from Chi Chen's fists, and powerful spiritual energy erupted forth, continuously bombarding the shadowy figure.
Upon hearing this, Hu Miaomiao's internal power was continuously transferred to the shadowy figure through the spiked club.
"grumble!"
"grumble!"
The two dark figures let out a strange cry at the same time and suddenly began to expand irregularly.
They tried their best to break free, but Chi Chen's hands held the dark figure in front of him tightly. Hu Miaomiao also kept spinning and swinging her spiked club, successfully sticking the dark figure to her.
"Bang!"
"Bang!"
A few minutes later, just as Chi Chen was feeling somewhat weak, two soft explosions rang out, and the two dark figures finally burst apart under the continuous force of Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao.
Then, the two black shadow fragments that had exploded gradually dissipated into the air. At the same time, some creative matter was extracted from the two black shadows and absorbed into Chi Chen's body.
Chi Chen then felt the weakness dissipate, and his soul began to solidify again.
"call!"
After dealing with the two dark figures, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao collapsed to the ground, still shaken.
If it weren't for the Night Cloak, they would probably have been penetrated by those two dark figures by now, and they might have undergone the same transformation as the inhabitants of the divine realm.
"You've encountered something like this before?!"
Hu Miaomiao asked, "This is the first time I've ever seen this black substance. How did Chi Chen know how to deal with it?"
"Hmm, but these two are a bit different from the ones I encountered last time!"
Chi Chen nodded.
Yes, the aura and characteristics of these two shadowy figures are very similar to the shadowy monsters that Chi Chen encountered when he participated in the new recruit training in the mountains outside the capital city. These monsters were created by members of the heretical forbidden institute through self-sacrifice.
However, there is a difference: the intelligence of these two shadowy figures is clearly not as high as that of the shadowy monster transformed from the heretical taboo personnel.
Perhaps it is precisely because it was transformed from a human that it still retains human wisdom.
Another point is that these two shadowy figures don't seem to have any offensive capabilities, and the force required to eliminate them is less than last time.
After all, the incident in the mountains of Shangjing District required the combined efforts of many people, and Chi Chen ultimately had to rely on the monkey's power to fight to the death in order to succeed.
Although Chi Chen is now many times stronger than he was back then, overall, the power he used to eliminate the shadow this time was still not as great as it was back then.
"The Forbidden Place of Heresy!"
Chi Chen's eyes were filled with surprise and doubt. This evil shadow should be the source of the anomalies that caused the residents of the God Realm to change. But why did the people in the Heretic Forbidden House on Blue Star have a way to transform into such an evil thing?
It seems the Heretical Forbidden Site is much more deeply hidden than Xiao Rulai and his group thought.
I wonder if Xiao Rulai and the others know about the connection between the Heretical Forbidden Site and that evil shadow.
Thinking of this, Chi Chen wanted to return to Blue Star even more as soon as possible.
Chi Chen had a feeling that a major catastrophe might be about to occur on Blue Star.
Late at night, the sudden attack by two dark figures made Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao lose their desire to rest.
Although they escaped unscathed this time, the two had to be on high alert again, as the evil shadow was indeed quite eerie.
Next year, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao had heard them outside the cave, but a moment later, they suddenly appeared behind them without warning.
Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao had no idea when the other had entered the cave.
Therefore, in the latter half of the night, Chi Chen had to keep himself and Hu Miaomiao under the cover of darkness at all times to prevent them from being attacked by the shadows again.
Time ticked by second under Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao's vigilance.
Fortunately, no more shadowy figures or other supernatural beings from the divine realm attacked in the latter half of the night.
The next morning, as dawn broke, a hazy mist drifted through Broken Sky Peak.
"Creak!"
"Creak!"
Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao walked side by side through the mountains, but neither of them was in the mood to appreciate the scenery. They were simply focused on getting on their way as quickly as possible.
According to Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao's estimate, if they wanted to travel at a speed where they could always maintain peak condition to deal with any danger that might come at any time, it would take them at least two nights and three days to cross Duan Tian Peak.
In other words, they will have to spend the night inside Duantian Peak.
Therefore, the two must find another place to stay as soon as possible.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"Something's following us?!"
The constant sound of tree branches being shoved through the woods kept Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao on edge.
"Hmm, it should be the same evil shadowy figure from last night. But I guess they're weakened and restricted during the day, which is why they haven't shown themselves yet. They probably want to follow us until night before making their move!"
Chi Chen's expression was also solemn. This was probably one of the reasons why those alien beings from the God Realm could only reveal themselves at night if their cultivation level was not high enough.
Chi Chen suddenly reached out and grabbed Hu Miaomiao's fair hand so that she could better shroud herself in his cloak of night.
Although the Night Cloak could conceal their presence, they were still two living people walking in the forest, and it was impossible to completely eliminate their movements. Moreover, those evil shadows had been staying on Broken Sky Peak for who knows how long. Therefore, it was within Chi Chen's expectations that Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao were entangled with them so quickly.
Hu Miaomiao's small hand was suddenly grabbed by Chi Chen, and a blush rose to her face. However, when she saw Chi Chen's face, which was carefully observing the surrounding situation, Hu Miaomiao knew that he did not have any other intentions.
"Hu Miaomiao, Hu Miaomiao, now is not the time to think about these things!"
Hu Miaomiao mentally spit on herself, trying to shake off that strange feeling in her heart.
However, Hu Miaomiao was unaware that after Chi Chen's infatuated behavior last night, this straight man had gradually come to his senses.
"Hmm, it's quite soft!"
Chi Chen appeared serious, but in his heart he made an assessment of Hu Miaomiao's delicate hands.
To be honest, aside from having his face kneaded like dough by Xiang Qing a few times before, this was the first time Chi Chen had ever had such an intimate and proactive physical contact with a girl.
Chi Chen couldn't understand why a beautiful girl like Hu Miaomiao would choose such a fierce weapon as a spiked club.
The two walked and stopped intermittently. When night once again enveloped the realm of gods, Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao stopped in a relatively open area, keeping as far away from the surrounding bushes as possible, so as to leave some room for the evil shadow to react.
"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"
"It's coming!"
Chi Chen and Hu Miaomiao stood back to back by the campfire, looking around with serious expressions. They waited for a while before the other side finally decided to make their move!
