Chapter 146 Still Too Weak
Qi Xiuyuan's words made Shen Yichuan frown again. He looked at the corpse of the mysterious beast in front of him, then turned to look at Qi Xiuyuan again.
"You said you can't feel the force of space from these wounds? Could it be that the force of space has almost dissipated? After all, it has already happened. If there is any force of space later, it may have dissipated by now."
Rules and space are actually two different concepts. Shen Yichuan believes that he is not as good as Qi Xiuyuan in understanding space, so when he saw the corpse of the mysterious beast just now, he didn't think about it at all.
But when it comes to whether it can be done by using the power of space, Shen Yichuan looked and found that he could do it, but it should not be so easy. But if it is to use the power of rules, it will be very easy. When he uses the power of rules, even if he faces a white furry creature with such a small body, he can directly cut off the opponent's claws without hurting the opponent's other parts.
But as for the power of space... this probably wouldn't work, especially since he always felt that these wounds were not that simple.
Qi Xiuyuan shook his head.
"Not much time has passed. If it was the power of space, then I would be able to sense it. However, I really can't sense the power of space on these wounds. But I instinctively feel that these wounds must be related to space."
"Is that so?" Shen Yichuan thought for a moment, "Let's take a look at the other mysterious beast corpses."
Qi Xiuyuan nodded, and then the two of them walked inside together. As they went deeper inside, they saw more and more corpses. These corpses were similar to the first one they saw, and some even had more wounds.
It was precisely because of so many wounds that they had sensed the strong bloody scent of the mysterious beast outside the woods.
"These mysterious beasts died very close together..." Shen Yichuan raised his eyebrows. "It seems that a master appeared, and was able to kill so many mysterious beasts at the same time. The wounds on these beasts are also the same, so it must be the work of the same person."
When Shen Yichuan heard Qi Xiuyuan say this at home, he was wondering if it was a natural disaster. Now it seems that someone is slaughtering the mysterious beasts here.
But did these contestants offend that person, which led to his killing spree here? I don’t know what he was thinking. He really has no respect for life.
"It's indeed the same person who did this." Qi Xiuyuan narrowed his eyes, his gaze cold. "This person must have been quite pleased when slaughtering these mysterious beasts."
Shen Yichuan couldn't help but be stunned when he heard this, "Can you sense the other person's emotions?"
"Don't you think the distribution of these wounds is a bit of a performance? And even though one strike could have been fatal, they deliberately created so many wounds. It's like that person is just putting on a show."
Shen Yichuan fell silent. He didn't notice it. At the same time, he thought that if the protagonist lived in modern times, he might take psychology courses and probably get very high scores.
"Young Master, Young Master Chen." These are the cultivators that the Qi family is investigating here.
There were two people coming this time, one was middle-aged and the other was younger.
The two men saluted towards Qi Xiuyuan and Shen Yichuan.
"Where are the others?" Qi Xiuyuan said lightly.
"They are all in there, young master. There is a huge pit deep in the forest, filled with the corpses of mysterious beasts. There seems to be something under the corpses of those mysterious beasts, so we want to clean them out, but there are too many corpses there, so we haven't finished cleaning them. I plan to go back and call more people."
"Then you guys go back first."
"yes."
After the two men left, Qi Xiuyuan and Shen Yichuan continued to move forward.
"A huge pit filled with the corpses of mysterious beasts? It seems that many mysterious beasts in this forest have died. I wonder who did it." As Shen Yichuan said this, he couldn't help but mutter in his heart, "Could the person who killed so many animals be a psychopath?"
When I was on Earth, there were always news reports about people who loved to abuse cats and dogs. There are really a lot of such psychopaths.
I wonder if I'll run into one here too, especially since Qi Xiuyuan just mentioned that the wounds on the beasts showed that the person was very happy when they killed them. And it seemed like they were performing... I feel like the chances of running into a pervert are a little higher.
When he came to the huge pit, Shen Yichuan couldn't help but sigh.
Because this huge pit is so huge, and it is full of corpses.
But why didn't he find what was underneath? I don't know how those people in the Qi family thought there was something underneath.
Thinking of this, Shen Yichuan asked Qi Xiuyuan next to him.
Qi Xiuyuan observed for a moment before saying, "Even when they were dying, these contestants seemed to be protecting something underneath. That's why the people in the family who were checking believed there was something underneath these bodies."
Shen Yichuan fell silent again, because he couldn't see it at all. If only one animal died, and the other party made a move to protect something in its arms before dying, perhaps he could see it, but there were thousands of animal corpses here... How could he see it?
Anyway, I couldn't see it.
After the Qi family arrived, it took about an hour for all the mysterious beast corpses under the huge pit to be cleared away. The corpses of the mysterious beasts that were brought up were burned.
So many corpses cannot be left here directly, otherwise it might cause a plague.
Today, the imperial capital city here can be said to be the power of the entire Qi family. Naturally, work like these is also done by the Qi family.
After the corpses of these mysterious beasts were cleared out, the people from the Qi family dug under the huge pit.
After digging for a while, someone screamed from below.
“Found it!”
Shen Yichuan looked down, and when he saw a huge white egg being brought up, he was really amazed.
It seems that these people really used their brains when they were investigating. If I were checking here, I would have naturally ignored these things because I don't have that kind of devouring desire.
"What a big egg! What kind of egg is it? Can you tell?" Shen Yichuan looked at Qi Xiuyuan beside him.
This person's brain contained over a thousand years of knowledge. Compared to himself, who had traveled from Earth and only had the memories of the original owner, Qi Xiuyuan could be considered an intellectual. So of course he had to ask him these questions.
Qi Xiuyuan shook his head slowly.
"I haven't seen one before. I don't think I've ever heard of any mysterious beast egg in any of the illustrated books about mysterious beasts being this big when they were still eggs."
This egg was really huge, more than ten times bigger than a normal beast egg. Shen Yichuan simply couldn't imagine how old a competitor had to be to lay such a large egg.
The mother of this egg must have been incredibly large, otherwise she wouldn't have been able to lay such a large egg. The mother of this egg must have been at least the size of a mountain.
"So you haven't heard of it either..." Shen Yichuan murmured.
The egg now lies in front of Shen Yichuan and Qi Xiuyuan.
There are so many mysterious beasts in this huge pit and they died like this. Qi Xiuyuan said that these mysterious beasts were obviously guarding the things below, which means that those mysterious beasts were all guarding this egg.
"That person killed so many profound beasts, could it be just for this egg? But why didn't he take the egg away? Did he not even notice it? But even the scouts could see that these contestants were guarding something below, so that person shouldn't have been able to see it, right?"
Qi Xiuyuan nodded and also felt a little strange.
"If that person came here just for this egg, then it shouldn't be invisible. Unless that person wasn't after this egg, but something else, so after he got that thing... he ignored this egg, or because he was so happy to get what he wanted, he didn't notice the unusual reactions of these mysterious beasts."
Qi Xiuyuan speculated, and Shen Yichuan thought his guess was very likely. For example, the mysterious beasts in these giant pits were guarding two things: one was what that person wanted openly, and the other was the egg buried beneath the giant pit.
That person got the thing that was on the surface and killed all the mysterious beasts. Therefore, because there were so many mysterious beast corpses piled up here, that person ignored the egg below.
If you think about it this way, it is indeed very possible.
"Then let's take this egg back first?" Shen Yichuan looked at Qi Xiuyuan. "I wonder how strong that pervert is?"
If that pervert is very powerful and is hiding in the dark, and knows that they took away such a big egg, he might go find the Qi family.
"Pervert?" Qi Xiuyuan didn't understand what this word meant.
"He has some mental issues. You also said that he seemed to be performing when he killed those mysterious beasts. So don't you think that he is not mentally normal?"
Qi Xiuyuan thought about it and realized that this description seemed to be correct. So he nodded, "It must be a pervert, but I will keep this egg in the space where the contracted beast is, not in the Qi family. If this egg poses any danger, then I will have that person come to me directly."
Shen Yichuan couldn't help but frowned.
He still didn't know the strength of that pervert. Although he believed in Qi Xiuyuan, if that pervert was very strong, it would be a bit dangerous. Besides, how could a normal person compare to a pervert? So he didn't think Qi Xiuyuan's plan was any good.
"I don't feel safe leaving it with you, let's leave it with Lin Jiaojiao."
Qi Xiuyuan looked over.
"Why put it with Lin Jiaojiao?"
"Given our relationship, if I leave this egg with Lin Jiaojiao, if that pervert comes looking for it, I'll be the first to get the news. Besides, don't you think that Lin Jiaojiao is actually the same kind of person as this pervert in some ways?"
Shen Yichuan did not forget that when they were in the void, this Lin Jiaojiao was quite perverted. She wanted to see some kind of human pig, and she could even come up with such a method of torturing people. So if she is a pervert, then let the pervert deal with the pervert. What's more, although Lin Jiaojiao's cultivation is suppressed here, the other party is also a strong man in the Earth Spirit Realm. Nangong Liuyun is not outside, and Lin Jiaojiao's strength is also impressive.
Shen Yichuan's words made Qi Xiuyuan find himself speechless.
Lin Jiaojiao and the other party are the same type of people... So this is why the other party wanted to put the egg on the other side.
Qi Xiuyuan finally nodded.
"If we want to study this egg, we just need to go to the space crack and find Lin Jiaojiao."
Qi Xiuyuan nodded again.
The egg was then sent to Lin Jiaojiao. Qi Xiuyuan and Shen Yichuan thought that perhaps Lin Jiaojiao and the others would know what species the egg belonged to, so they went along.
Lin Jiaojiao and others were indeed surprised when they saw the egg, but they didn't know what species it belonged to.
Hearing Shen Yichuan say that he would put this egg with him, Lin Jiaojiao couldn't help but twitch her lips in surprise. Could it be that he could hatch eggs? Why would he put such an egg with him?
Shen Yichuan did not hide what happened in the woods, so he told everyone.
"Although this egg is with Lin Jiaojiao, if someone comes looking for it, they will definitely find all of you, so you should be more careful. I'm also very curious about what will hatch from this egg, so you can think of a way to make it hatch."
Zhu Huaqiang and others were a little confused because they didn't know how to hatch eggs.
Shen Yichuan had no intention of studying the egg today, so he and Qi Xiuyuan left.
After the two men left, Zhu Huaqiang and others sat down around the egg.
"I really don't know if there is any egg that can be so big. Have you heard of it?" Nangong Bingyan said.
The others shook their heads. If they had heard of it, they would have said it when Shen Yichuan asked just now. If they didn't say it just now, it meant they hadn't heard of it.
"In all the records I've read about mysterious beasts and spiritual beasts, even including some records of divine beasts, there's no such large egg."
"The problem is, Master Shen gave us this egg and asked us to hatch it. Who among you can hatch it?"
Everyone shook their heads, then looked at each other, with a hint of distress on their faces.
They can practice, they can scheme, and they know some miscellaneous knowledge, but this does not include hatching eggs.
"I heard that these eggs have to meet certain conditions when they are born, such as temperature, energy, or environment, so should we conduct the same experiment one by one?" Dongfang Yang said slowly.
"Now it seems that this is the only way. We have to make sure this egg meets the conditions for birth."
Shen Yichuan didn't care how much trouble those guys would get if he threw an egg over. He recruited so many servants just to let them solve the troubles for his master.
Therefore, as the host, I can relax a little, so why not relax a little?
On the way back, Shen Yichuan said with a smile: "I don't think those people know how to hatch eggs. I'm curious how they will hatch the egg."
"Some are of higher quality, but it takes a long time for them to hatch. You can't see the results in a short time." Qi Xiuyuan said nonchalantly, then glanced at Shen Yichuan, "So if you want to know what species it is, it may not be possible to do so in a short time."
"That doesn't matter. As long as the egg isn't stolen, we'll be able to see it anyway."
Qi Xiuyuan smiled and nodded.
Shen Yichuan and the other party walked forward side by side. They just walked like this and did not use their fighting spirit to speed up their journey.
Looking up at the starry sky, the night was beautiful today. Shen Yichuan looked at the person next to him, and suddenly reached out and grabbed the other person's hand.
Qi Xiuyuan was slightly stunned.
Shen Yichuan slowly took the other person's hand in his palm, and then intertwined his fingers.
Qi Xiuyuan's heart trembled slightly.
"This actually feels pretty good. Look, the weather is pretty nice today. In my world, many couples take a walk like this after dinner. They just walk outside, look at the sky, and chat about the day's daily life... I didn't know what this feeling was like before, but now I understand."
When Qi Xiuyuan heard this, his heart trembled slightly again.
He turned his head to look at Shen Yichuan beside him.
"You think this feels good?"
Shen Yichuan also turned his head to look at Qi Xiuyuan, and raised the corners of his lips slightly.
"Yeah, it feels nice walking hand in hand with you like this, don't you think?"
Qi Xiuyuan's lips trembled slightly, and then he uttered a few words.
"It's really good...very good."
So Shen Yichuan smiled, he quickly moved over, kissed Qi Xiuyuan on the cheek, and then moved away.
"You..." Qi Xiuyuan's face turned red.
As if his prank had succeeded, Shen Yichuan took Qi Xiuyuan's hand, walked a few steps quickly, and then slowed down.
Qi Xiuyuan was being held by the hand. He glanced at their clasped hands, and the corners of his lips slightly raised.
The next day, when Shen Yichuan woke up in the morning, he immediately checked the progress of absorbing the sphere.
Then his brows furrowed slightly, because yesterday's situation seemed to have become a special case. After waking up this morning, he didn't feel that there was any progress like yesterday.
So why did such progress happen yesterday? He felt that he should figure this out. If he could figure it out, then the speed at which he absorbed the energy from the sphere would definitely increase a lot, and then the Tower of Babel would be able to open faster.
After all, the speed at which his cultivation level increases is directly proportional to the speed at which he absorbs global power. As long as he absorbs the power in the sphere faster, the speed at which his own cultivation level increases will naturally be faster.
Right now, he was still in the early stages of Martial Sainthood, and it felt like he was still a long way from reaching the middle stages, let alone the peak. So, when would he be able to open the Tower of Babel?
Shen Yichuan was feeling indescribably depressed, and at this time Qi Xiuyuan came over.
"Today is not like yesterday?"
It seems that Qi Xiuyuan now understands Shen Yichuan. As soon as he sees the other party's expression, he knows what happened.
Shen Yichuan sighed.
"Yeah, it really has nothing to do with sleep. I don't know how many times I've fallen asleep before. If it had anything to do with normal sleep, then my swallowing speed would have been much faster. So what was different about yesterday?"
Shen Yichuan said this, then recalled it carefully. After a moment, he said hesitantly: "Could it be emotion?"
Qi Xiuyuan's eyes flickered. He was obviously thinking about some of the things that happened yesterday, and the mood Shen Yichuan might have when he went to sleep in the morning.
This made Qi Xiuyuan squint his eyes and purse his lips slightly.
Shen Yichuan did not notice Qi Xiuyuan's reaction. He was still thinking about yesterday's problem. If there was anything wrong yesterday, it was probably an emotional problem. After all, the twins had just had a nightmare the night before.
Do I have to let myself fall into that kind of emotion again, so that I will have such a result after sleeping?
"I want to try it." Shen Yichuan looked up and said.
"You want to make yourself recall that emotion, and then let yourself fall into that emotion again, and then fall asleep?" Qi Xiuyuan immediately understood what the other party meant, but his face did not look good.
Shen Yichuan nodded.
"We need to open the Tower of Babel quickly. I feel like everything that's happened recently is a little unusual, which makes me a little uneasy. If the Tower of Babel can be opened, at least we all have a way out...so I have to give it a try."
Qi Xiuyuan did not agree, but just looked at Shen Yichuan in silence.
Shen Yichuan was a little puzzled. He thought Qi Xiuyuan would agree immediately, so what was this reaction?
"What's wrong?" Shen Yichuan asked in confusion.
"If this method is feasible, will you use it in the future? Don't you think it will affect your mood?" Qi Xiuyuan had a blank expression and a deep look in his eyes.
Shen Yichuan was stunned, then smiled.
"The most important thing now is to improve my cultivation. As long as I can open the Tower of Babel, I won't have to use the same method in the future."
Qi Xiuyuan pursed his lips and looked away.
"It's up to you then. I'm going out first."
After finishing speaking, without waiting for Shen Yichuan's response, the other party turned around and left the room. Shen Yichuan couldn't help but be a little stunned when he saw this.
Is Qi Xiuyuan angry?
Because the other party doesn’t like you using this method?
But things have their priorities. Right now, the most important thing is to open the Tower of Babel first. That will benefit everyone, won't it?
Shen Yichuan frowned. He wanted to ask Qi Xiuyuan why he was angry. He didn't think he could bear such a small hardship, especially since it wasn't physical, but just a psychological problem.
Back then, in that space below, the protagonist had injured himself all over and was in so much pain, but he insisted on washing his marrow for a while longer. In comparison, I was just immersed in a certain emotion, and then experimenting to see if this method would be successful... This shouldn't be a big deal, so why is the protagonist angry?
Shen Yichuan found that he still thought of that sentence. The protagonist's thoughts were really hard to predict.
Thinking of this, he couldn't help but smile bitterly.
Qi Xiuyuan had a blank expression on his face after he left, but there was some turbulence in his eyes.
I am still too weak now, so that person can only practice in such a painful way.
Still too weak!
