"了了"
"clear"
The tacit understanding between Hua and Chu Yu was already well-established; this Soul-Devouring Beast was no less formidable than the minor character they had just encountered.
She deftly brought out her Broken Illusion Zither.
The body of the instrument was surrounded by a faint golden halo, and even the strings had light and shadow floating on them. The body of the instrument was not made of ordinary materials; it was made of divine wood!
However, apart from Chu Yu, none of the people present recognized what the Divine Tree was. It was a legendary tree of life that existed only in legends and was said to be able to nurture all things!
Who would have thought that sacred wood would be used to make the body of the instrument?!
Although no one recognized the sacred wood, everyone present could tell that the zither was extraordinary.
Hua stepped forward to remind them, "They're coming, step back a little."
"good."
"OK."
"good."
Gu Xi and the others exchanged a glance, their eyes revealing their deep concern and frustration.
Danger was imminent, yet none of them noticed!
Suddenly, the forest, which had just been bathed in daylight, was quickly engulfed by darkness. It was pitch black, and all that could be seen in the field of vision were the Soul-Devouring Flowers that were shimmering faintly on the ground!
The entire forest fell into a deathly silence. Even Chu Yu dared not be careless, and Gu Xi and the others were on high alert, summoning their signature weapons.
Gu Xi's Yu Jin Sword, Tu Er's Chi Ming Spear, and Wan Ke's Qing Yu Sword!
After focusing all her attention on catching the subtle sound of the wind, she quickly flew into the air and gently plucked the strings of the Broken Illusion Zither with her slender fingers.
In an instant!
A brilliant light appeared in the dark forest, and the ancient and mysterious sound of the zither transformed into sharp blades that swept powerfully forward.
"Clang!"
The sound of the strings striking something hard, followed by the tearing sound of the blade piercing flesh, was incredibly clear in the tranquil forest.
Everyone quickly looked towards the source of the sound. Something slowly emerged from the dark fog, but...
"Chu Yu, is this really a Soul-Devouring Beast?" Hua looked at Chu Yu behind her with extreme confusion.
"It should be correct!"
"This is just too... too silly!"
Its size is indeed very imposing, like a moving small mountain. Even the flower is not as big as its little finger. But what's with that huge Soul-Devouring Flower growing on its head?
Moreover, why is there such a large Soul-Devouring Flower?
Thinking about the Soul-Devouring Flower I picked yesterday in my spatial bag, I suddenly didn't find it so special anymore.
From this perspective, the Soul-Devouring Beast suddenly seemed a bit more naive. Not only did Hua think so, but Tu Er and the others also thought so. Even Gu Xi, who had always been quite cautious, relaxed her guard slightly.
"Alright, don't be fooled by its appearance. If we don't act now, once the Soul-Devouring Flower on its head blooms, the fragrance it releases will be more intense than the fragrance emitted by all the Soul-Devouring Flowers in the entire forest when they bloom. That would be troublesome!"
Chu Yu's words immediately brought them back to their senses. The seemingly simple-minded creature in front of them was a spirit-devouring beast, not some harmless little white rabbit!
"I know, I'm just a little curious because it's the first time I've seen a live Soul Devouring Beast."
After speaking, Hua composed herself, plucked the strings of her zither again, and the music transformed into sharp blades that repeatedly slashed at the Soul-Devouring Beast.
Finally, the Soul-Devouring Beast seemed to have gone mad, its eyes only seeing flowers, and it pounced on her frantically!
The entire forest shook violently, and the wind howled through the trees!
The Soul-Devouring Beast's eyes were bloodshot, and its movements were extremely violent; it was determined to catch the little one who kept provoking it!
Given the formidable strength of the Soul-Devouring Beast and the vast difference in size between the two, Wan Ke couldn't help but worry about Hua.
"Liao Liao, be careful!"
Hua was completely focused on dealing with the Soul-Devouring Beast and didn't hear what Wan Ke said.
Looking at the enraged Soul-Devouring Beast before him, he said provocatively, "Oh, you get angry so easily. You're so big, but you have a small stomach!"
Although he spoke casually, he dared not slack off in his work.
Underestimating the enemy is a major taboo; this was something Chu Yu taught her.
Facing the immense power of the Soul-Devouring Beast, Hua moved nimbly, his movements seemingly incredibly fast, yet he always managed to dodge its attacks in time.
The Soul-Devouring Beast couldn't get even half a step closer to Hua's body, and grew increasingly impatient.
"Alright, stop playing around. These Soul-Devouring Flowers will all be in full bloom in a quarter of an hour at the latest!"
Seeing that Hua hadn't used her killing move yet, Chu Yu couldn't help but remind her.
"Okay, that's all."
Just as Hua was about to end the battle, the aura of the Soul-Devouring Beast vanished completely right before their eyes.
If it weren't for the signs of a fight and the still-dark forest reminding everyone that the Soul-Devouring Beast was still there, Hua Du would probably have thought it was just an illusion!
