It turned out that the leader of the men in black belonged to a force called the Hall of the Dead. Then Xie Zhou searched his body and found a small piece of paper. He had folded it into a very small square and put it in a lining inside his sleeve. It took Xie Zhou a long time to find it.
The sign read, "Quickly capture this strange creature!"
Xie Zhou then understood why the leader of the men in black had come to this place; it turned out that his mission was to release the strange creature from the Upper Realm.
Unfortunately, his attempt to steal a chicken backfired, and he was actually controlled by the strange creature from the heavens. He had originally wanted to capture it and make it his subordinate, how laughable...
Xie Zhou looked at the few words written in a flamboyant style on the paper, then tore the paper into several pieces, scattered them in the air, and threw them aside. He curled the corners of his mouth slightly and said sarcastically, "With your strength, you think you can subdue the strange monster? I think you're just courting death. But this time, something unexpected happened, and you died at my hands."
She seemed unsatisfied and kicked the leader of the men in black several times. At this moment, the system spoke up to remind her: "Desecrating a corpse is not something a good person does, host?"
Xie Zhou rolled his eyes at the system and said, "You're not human, so why are you meddling so much? This man in black has been bothering us for so long. We finally managed to subdue him, can't I even vent my anger a little?"
Xie Zhou continued searching inside the storage ring and found a key that exuded a mysterious aura. This key was different from the usual ones, always shining brightly.
The system then said, "The aura on this key is very similar to that of the barrier; perhaps it is the key that can unlock it."
"Really? Then let's give it a try."
Xie Zhou then gently placed the key on the surface of the barrier, but the barrier swallowed the key in no time.
Xie Zhou was also very surprised, never expecting that the barrier could be opened in this way. Seeing that a passage had appeared, she walked in, and at that moment she was greeted by the strange aura of the ancient monster.
"Boom..."
Xie Zhou heard unreal noises around her. She felt that something was wrong. Just now she had noticed that the strange creature was just meditating and regulating its breathing. How could it be causing such a big fluctuation? It was really strange.
Feeling the whistling wind, Xie Zhou raised his hand to block the wind in front of him, and slightly opened his eyes to let out a bit of vision so that he could see clearly what was in front of him.
What she saw was still the same strange creature, but it was even bigger than the one she had seen before. But what was going on with this sudden riot?
Xie Zhou then inquired about the system.
"System, do you know what just happened? Why did such a violent aura suddenly attack me? Was it because I broke the barrier and entered, causing some kind of mechanical effect?"
The system, unable to explain it either, speculated, "Perhaps this ancient creature was born with a certain aura, after all, it was a powerful being from the ancient times!"
Xie Zhou nodded with some doubt, and said nothing more. He continued to walk forward against the faint wind, wanting to see where the Soul Grass could be found.
This space looks quite small from the outside, but once inside, Xie Zhou immediately sensed the distance between the strange creature and the outside world. It felt very, very far away, and he couldn't get close to it no matter what he did. So Xie Zhou asked the system to start checking the spatial environment here.
"System, quickly check what's going on here! Quickly find the scent of the Soul Grass."
"Don't worry, it will be quick."
"As long as the Soul Grass is found, Chaos can be saved."
Xie Zhou then also activated his mental power to explore the changes here. At this moment, the strange creature moved its hand slightly. It had been waiting for this moment. Once Xie Zhou activated his mental power, it would have an opportunity to take advantage of the situation.
Amidst this turbulent atmosphere, Xie Zhou was like a faint figure struggling to walk, while an unusual light flickered in the wind, mingling with the atmosphere, but he was so focused on finding the Soul Grass that he didn't pay attention to this.
Unbeknownst to her, something flashing with an eerie light entered her body and quickly entered Xie Zhou's sea of consciousness along with her spiritual power.
Suddenly, Xie Zhou felt a strange discomfort deep in her mind, because she realized that there seemed to be an unfamiliar aura in her spiritual sea. However, finding the Soul Grass was the priority, so she did not think about it for the time being. Instead, she quickly moved closer to the strange creature, hoping to find the legendary Soul Grass that could heal the dead.
This was exactly what the strange creature wanted. It was planning to distract Xie Zhou and lower its guard so that it could slowly control her mind and make her break all the seals on it.
If it weren't for the mysterious power it sensed on Xie Zhou that could break its seal, it wouldn't have been so tightly imprisoned in this place. All its like-minded friends would have awakened by now, and it would help them break the seal and regain their freedom.
When a portion of the ancient monster's spiritual power re-entered Xie Zhou's sea of consciousness, it began to bewitch her within her spiritual sea, opening its own seal.
"Thank you, Zhou..."
Suddenly, a deep and long sound echoed in Xie Zhou's mind. Xie Zhou stopped moving instantly. She felt strange. Had she offended something again?
So she separated a portion of her spiritual power to investigate what had invaded her spiritual sea.
"Who are you? Show yourself, stop playing tricks!"
The strange creature still did not appear, and said, "Who I am is not important. I can only say that I am your destined person. It is an honor for me to meet such a powerful person here. I have been suppressing evil spirits in this place for a long time, and finally I have seen a living person!"
Xie Zhou felt that there was something strange about his tone. Didn't he say he wouldn't tell her his identity just now? But he said it again. She was a little confused and couldn't believe it. Although she had encountered countless powerful people along the way, none of them would be so mysterious and deceitful.
This strange feeling had appeared ever since he entered the barrier sealing the ancient monster. Xie Zhou kept a close eye on it and secretly contacted the system.
"System, quickly find out who this sudden glimpse of consciousness that appeared in my mental sea of consciousness is? It's so inexplicable."
"yes."
