Chapter 262: The moment the Hydra Xu Hui rushed out of the cave,...
The first thing Xu Hui did after rushing out of the cave was to go to the Leixin Stone Cave, where he carefully hid the jade figurine inside and set up formations and hints.
If Wei Mubai comes here, he will be able to find this gift and...the love letter on it according to the prompts.
Thinking of those contents, Xu Hui's cheeks felt hot. She clenched the flaming stone sculpture in her hand, took a last deep look, and resolutely turned and left.
The world outside was eerily quiet. There were vast mountains, endless hills, flowing rivers, and tall, slightly swaying trees. Everywhere showed that this was a lush and flourishing forest that looked like a paradise.
However, it was too quiet. Not only could no insects or birds be heard, but even the huge beast seemed to have never appeared.
If Xu Hui didn't still have her pair of unicorn eyes, which allowed her to see the wisps of gray matter in the air, she would have thought that this was just a normal dense forest.
The quieter it was, the more abnormal it was. She concealed her figure and breath, stepped on the spirit sword, and quickly shuttled through the mountains and forests.
However, the strange thing was that she searched countless places but found nothing, not even a single giant beast.
Not only that, no other animals were seen, not even a bird or an insect!
But there was a faint stench in the air, which was extremely torturous. Just one sniff would make people feel extremely uncomfortable, with difficulty breathing, a slight tingling in the head, and a trance.
Xu Hui immediately blocked her sense of smell and became alert. Obviously, there must be a powerful monster nearby, a giant beast with a bad temper and extremely ferocious, otherwise it would not be so strangely quiet.
She moved more and more carefully, stepping on the spirit sword and flying quickly. Finally, after flying for several hours, she arrived at an endless swamp.
Here, the land is vast and boundless, with surging waves and thick fog, as if the heaven and earth are shrouded in chaotic water vapor.
The water in the swamp is extremely turbid and has a pungent fishy smell. There is no grass or trees growing around the swamp, and no birds are seen.
From time to time, strange ripples appeared on the water surface, as if countless undercurrents were surging, ready to swallow everything at any time.
Xu Hui stood on the sword with a solemn expression. It turned out to be the nine-headed snake Xiangliu!
Xiangliu was born in the wilderness, and wherever he went, it turned into a swamp. The worst thing was that the venom he swallowed and spit out would turn the water source into a foul-smelling and extremely poisonous swamp. Within thousands of miles, no grass would grow and no birds would survive.
This kind of damage is continuous. As long as the toxins in the water are not removed, it will become a huge source of poison.
Moreover, Xu Hui could clearly sense that the concentration of gray matter here was hundreds of times higher than that in other places.
In addition, in the distant mountains hidden in the fog, there is an even more terrifying and huge body, as if it is the source of evil spirits, as thick as substance, and is continuously swallowing and spitting out more gray matter.
The evil spirit continued to spread outward along with the foul-smelling water.
It is obvious that the evil spirit has found the best host to give birth to Tai Sui, which is the natural ancient ferocious beast - Xiangliu!
Once successful, wherever Xiangliu goes, it will turn into a vast ocean, and along with the water flow, evil spirits will erode every corner of the world!
Xu Hui took a deep breath. Fortunately, she discovered it, otherwise the consequences would be unimaginable!
She immediately drew her sword and rushed forward at high speed.
At this time, Xiangliu was still sleeping. Nine huge snake heads were lying on nine mountain peaks. The snake tails that were thousands of meters long were wrapped around a giant peak. Occasionally, the tip of the tail would shake, causing a gust of flying sand and rocks.
Once such a huge beast wakes up, it will cover the sky and the sun and will be extremely difficult to deal with. It is definitely not comparable to the giant scorpion and giant eagle before.
This is a real ancient ferocious beast!
According to records from the Wei family, the water sprayed by Xiangliu is like a flood. Once contaminated, it is like a maggot in the tarsal bones, which will directly corrode people's flesh and bones, and infect their souls at the same time.
Moreover, it is huge in size and its defense is amazing. Even ancient magic weapons cannot break the defense of the snake skin.
It also has nine heads, and unless all nine are cut off simultaneously, they will quickly grow back. It can even survive by losing its tail, possessing a stronger ability to regenerate limbs than a gecko.
Such a powerful ancient demon with strong defense and nine lives is an existence that even immortals and gods find difficult to deal with.
Xu Hui is currently only in the out-of-body stage. Even if she possesses the qualities of half a unicorn, she is like a mayfly trying to shake a tree in front of Xiangliu, and she is overestimating her own abilities!
Xu Hui couldn't help but sigh. The giant tiger, giant scorpion and giant eagle before gave her confidence, and she thought she could solve the problems here.
But reality told her that she was thinking too much. Could she easily deal with a real ancient demon?
At this moment, she couldn't help but curse fiercely, "Yi Qingxue, you lunatic!"
She actually dared to use these ancient monsters to raise Tai Sui. Does she want the extinction of all mankind?
What's in it for her?
Xu Hui didn't understand. Logically speaking, weren't Yi Qingxue's conditions and the resources she obtained good enough?
She could have peacefully ascended to become an immortal and pursued the great path step by step, but why did her path go further and further astray and become so crazy?
Is it true that desire is insatiable and never-ending?
This made her think of Venerable Lotus. As a woman with a strong desire for power and control, Venerable Lotus would sacrifice herself to save the world, while Yi Qingxue acted recklessly for her own selfish reasons.
Human nature! Once it slips, there is no recovery!
However, she had never expected the destructive power caused by Yi Qingxue. It was as terrifying as a world-destroying calamity.
Therefore, she had to think deeply. Could it be that because of the world's advancement, various disasters were infinitely elevated and each time evolved into a world-destroying catastrophe?
It would be fine for an ordinary cultivator, but for someone like Yi Qingxue, who is both talented and lucky, the disaster he caused is particularly terrifying. If he is not careful, he will be doomed.
Xu Hui didn't know that she had touched the truth.
It is not easy for a world to advance, especially the evolution from the Middle Thousand Worlds to the Great Thousand Worlds. It is an advancement in which the essence of the world and all the creatures in the world are reborn. It is a qualitative leap and the test is naturally extremely difficult.
In order to evolve, this world has given birth to countless geniuses. Most of these geniuses are naturally kind-hearted and willing to sacrifice themselves for the advancement of the world.
But human nature is selfish, and people's hearts are full of desires. Where there are those who face the sun, there will naturally be those who are selfish and controlled by desires.
And the things they do for their own purposes will, under this special situation, turn into disasters of varying sizes and become part of their promotion and overcoming of the disaster.
It is correct for the other thousand worlds to only give birth to one son of destiny, and then let this son of destiny kill all villains and lead the world to advancement.
This is the simplest, most effective, and controllable way to get promoted. After all, a person's mind is easy to manipulate, but when there are more people, their minds become more complicated.
But the bad thing is, when this son of fortune makes his/her choice, does he/she have a fair mind and a strong inner support to take on the responsibility of being the son/daughter of fortune?
Most people cannot do it. Even if they have countless opportunities and are gifted geniuses, they cannot accomplish great things if their character is not up to par.
Selfishness is human nature. If one wants to maintain one's nature even when things are going smoothly, one is honored, and one is above the world, and yet one is not proud or conceited, but must know oneself and overcome pride, arrogance, selfishness, complacency, and other natural tendencies that people are born with, one must possess an extremely strong heart.
This is something that most people do not have. Even if they have it at the beginning, it will gradually disappear as they become stronger.
It will make them arrogant, selfish, and not take others seriously.
Isn't this the case with the son of destiny in Senior Wei Yuan's world? After becoming inflated, he did things without scruples, and thus offended Senior Wei Yuan, the "big villain" with a strong and ruthless mind!
Senior Wei Yuan's awakening completely destroyed the possibility of that world's advancement, and it almost collapsed and degenerated into a small world.
And this is the price of failing to advance to the world!
Therefore, putting the task of world advancement on one person is an extremely risky act.
So is it the right choice to breed countless geniuses like in this world?
Not necessarily!
Having the talent of a genius does not mean having the mindset of a genius!
Even if one has a genius mind, if his thoughts go astray, it can easily bring about a huge disaster.
For example, Lotus Venerable and Yi Qingxue, both of them are people with strong desire for power and control, and this is their true nature and their path, which will not and cannot be suppressed.
It’s just that in the process of practicing Taoism, Venerable Lotus became the head of the Lei family, which satisfied his desires to a certain extent.
And when he was about to ascend, he found a way to realize his desire for power, which was to go to the spiritual world to become a ghost and control the world.
But Yi Qingxue didn't have that. She had it too easy. She wanted too many things and her desires were too full. Power, cultivation, qualifications, emotions, men, anything she wanted was easily obtained.
Only Wei Mubai!
This was what she had been thinking about from the beginning, but it was also the one where she fell the hardest.
Not to mention that Wei Mubai didn't even give her a glance, which made her feel unprecedented frustration.
What's even more amazing is that Wei Mubai also admires Xu Hui, a woman who, in her opinion, is useless!
Family background, qualifications, looks, mind, ability... no one can compare to her in any way!
But Wei Mubai loved her deeply, and the Wei family was supportive from beginning to end, but they were extremely wary of her, as if Xu Hui was the noble soul and she was a disgusting bug.
This made her extremely unwilling. The original jealousy and dissatisfaction turned into a hundred thousand points of jealousy and embarrassment in the face of Wei Mubai's disregard and the Wei family's defensiveness.
A girl of destiny like her will never suppress her emotions. She will get whatever she wants and succeed in whatever she wants to do, otherwise it will destroy my faith!
However, facing Xu Hui, she failed again and again, and fell into Xu Hui's hands again and again.
Under such circumstances, her desires, jealousy, hatred, dissatisfaction and other emotions gradually became so intense that they could not be dissolved, and then evolved to the current terrifying level. In order to get what she wanted, she would not hesitate to destroy the world.
As Xu Hui thought about it, she suddenly felt a little regretful.
In fact, if Yi Qingxue had not been born at the critical juncture of advancement in this world, her emotions and desires would not have been magnified so much.
It is very likely that the world advancement affected her, causing her to fall deeper and deeper into obsession.
If this incident hadn't happened, it would probably have been just a simple mental demon.
At the same time, even if she had a demon in her heart, it would not cause such terrible consequences. At least, if she did bad things, she would not have such devastating power.
But then, Xu Hui saw the terrifying and powerful Hydra and couldn't help but spit on herself.
Bah, Xu Hui, what are you thinking? You're still sympathizing with her. Sympathize with yourself first!
The mess that Yi Qingxue created, in the end you have to sacrifice yourself to clean up. If Yi Qingxue were here, you would give her two fierce swords and help her die!
Regardless of what's affecting her, she's the one who caused this evil spirit here, right? She's caused such a huge mess. If it's not handled properly, it will kill countless people.
Instead of sympathizing with the culprit, you might as well think about how to nip the danger in the bud!
She slapped her head hard to clear her mind and stop thinking about these nonsense.
Right now, the most important thing is to deal with Hydra!
