The cyan spirit chuckled and said, "I am a spirit."
The shadowy beast circled around her and wondered, "I've seen human spirits before, and they all look very ordinary and normal, no different from the flesh. But your spirit skin is actually blue, how terrifying..."
The ferocious beasts nearby nodded in agreement. They were all terrified. They had never seen such a "monster" before. It was dressed in green, with a green mask covering the area below its eyes, revealing only a pair of golden pupils and long golden hair...
"Really?" There was a smile on the corner of the green soul's lips, but the smile was covered by the mask and the ferocious beasts could not see it.
A blue flame burned at the fingertips of the soul——
This earth flame could also be transformed into gold, but there were no spiritual masters nearby. Lan Zhi's spirit had flattened her breasts and was wearing a mask, so no one could recognize her. Therefore, there was no need to change the color of the flame. As for the green flame released by the spirit, was it related to Tian Miao and Lan Zhi? No. Therefore, it could be used openly.
"What do you want to do?" A trace of fear flashed in the eyes of the black shadow beast.
"I want to inquire about the situation in the Medical Saint's Secret Realm."
"Oh, you think I'll tell you anything you ask?" The black shadow beast raised its head with a proud look on its face. However, the next second, it began to betray the secret realm's information. It said, "This secret realm was created by our great master. His name is Tiansheng Chihu, and he is a powerful spiritual master."
"Tiansheng Red Lake?" What a strange name, I've never heard of it.
"Yes, this secret realm of the Medical Saint was left by the master before he died. The secret realm has been silent for tens of thousands of years, and now it has finally seen the light of day again!" The voice of the black shadow beast was ups and downs, and a bit of fanatical admiration and sadness flashed in its dark green eyes. The master was so powerful, but he still died, and this group of beasts also died in the battle. However, before his death, the master used his supreme power to leave their souls, allowing them to continue to survive in the secret realm, but they lost their freedom forever.
As time went on, the ferocious beasts' mental states became abnormal. Some of them began to resent their masters, asking why they spared their lives and made them suffer from loneliness for endless years. Rather than living like this, they would rather die. However, in this secret realm, they were deprived of even the right to die. Even if they fought each other and their souls were scattered, the secret realm would re-condense their souls after a while.
"The master's dream is to create a peaceful, tranquil, and ordinary village without conflict. Therefore, anyone who enters the secret realm will lose their memories related to cultivation and become an ordinary person."
The shadow beast continued, "The master believes that darkness symbolizes danger and death, and that ordinary people should sleep well at night and not run around. Therefore, he established a rule that prohibits people from going out at night. Villagers who violate the rule will be killed, and we are the executioners, responsible for killing those dishonest villagers."
Lan Zhi asked, "How can we leave the secret realm?"
"Why are you leaving?" the black shadow beast asked, laughing. "Since you're here, you might as well stay forever!"
As the words fell, the rest of the ferocious beasts opened their bloody mouths and rushed towards the green soul.
Lan Zhi looked calm, she didn't dodge or evade, she just stood there calmly, and even retracted the green flame on her fingertips.
Two ferocious beasts aimed at her neck to bite, some aimed at her calves, some set their sights on her arms, and some wanted to gnaw on her thighs. The beasts each had their own target and a clear division of labor, but they soon regretted it because the taste of Lan Zhi's soul was too different from that of a normal soul.
Normal spirits are delicious and can also nourish the souls of these ferocious beasts.
But Lan Zhi's soul was burning.
Her soul was originally made up of green flames. Not to mention biting it, even licking it would burn her tongue.
“Ouch!”
"Hmm..."
"roar!!"
The mouths of the black shadow beasts were set on fire by the green flames, and their teeth and bones were directly burned away. Some beasts were even worse off, because they were greedy and used their claws to scratch the souls when biting, which resulted in their claws being burned away as well.
Soon, the heads and bodies of the ferocious beasts turned into ashes.
Lan Zhi only saved the life of one ferocious beast, the one that could talk, and burned the rest to death.
"You...you are indeed a monster..." The black shadow beast shivered. It was also burned just now, but Lan Zhi took the initiative to suppress the flames, so its teeth and tongue were not burned.
The cyan spirit smiled and asked, "Now, can we have a good chat?"
The dark shadow beast: "..." Do I dare to say "no"?
It was covered in a layer of black smoke, looking completely black, with only its dark green eyes faintly visible through the smoke. At this moment, it took the initiative to disperse the black smoke, and Lan Zhi discovered that this beast looked a little strange. Its body was like a dog, but its back was covered with spikes, just like a hedgehog. It said, "My name is Sanwei."
Only then did Lan Zhi notice that it had three tails and its fur was also black.
Sanwei shook his head and asked, "What do you want to know?"
"How can we leave the secret realm?"
Sanwei said: "Akahu Village is a place where people can only enter and not leave. Anyone who enters will never be able to leave again."
Lan Zhi said, "I heard that when the secret realm first opened, many people came in and could leave after receiving a pill..."
Sanwei sneered, "You are so stupid, of course it's fake. Those who left, are they spreading the word that this secret realm is not dangerous at all? Letting them out is just to attract more people in, and at the same time, let them spread a false news, that is, if you pass the nine tests, you can obtain the inheritance of the Medical Saint... Ha, to be honest, my master has already passed the inheritance to several disciples. As for this secret realm, it was created by the master for fun, and there is no inheritance left at all. Those who enter can only honestly follow the life trajectory of ordinary people, men farming and women weaving for the rest of their lives..."
Lan Zhi said, "That's not right. Everyone in Chihu Village knows that there's a town outside the village..."
"That town is also populated by ordinary villagers, but their lives are better. The streets are flat, with many stalls on both sides of the road. The town also has taverns, teahouses, the county government, and various small vendors and storytellers. It's very prosperous. To get to the town from Chihu Village, you need to cross a large mountain, and the road is very difficult to travel. In the entire Chihu Village, only the village chief's family has ever been to the town..."
As he spoke, Sanwei glanced at the cyan spirit and said, "You are so unlucky that you were reborn in Chihu Village. If you were reborn into a wealthy family in town, you would have no worries about food and clothing in this life. Let me guess, your life in Chihu Village is not easy, right? Every household here is very poor, and only the village chief's family has money and food."
