Chapter 68: Why is Every Random Creature Coveting His Shizun?
[Go down and take a look, Host. Maybe he’s right down there?] Qingqing suddenly spoke up.
Hearing this, Feng Shi sharply looked at it, saying faintly: “So, Shizun really is down there?”
Qingqing whistled and looked up at the sky, acting as if it hadn’t heard and didn’t know.
Not refuting meant tacit admission.
Feng Shi cursed inwardly, unhesitatingly leaned forward, and directly jumped off the cliff.
The mountain mist brushed against his face, carrying a heavy dampness.
Feng Shi’s white clothes and black hair swam in the wind, like a swooping white bird plummeting downward.
The further down he went, the denser the mist became.
Not long after, above the cliff face, a massive cave abruptly appeared before his eyes. Sensing something, Feng Shi pressed two fingers together to summon Wucheng, stepping onto the broad sword blade to buffer his stop.
This cave was definitely the nest of some demonic beast. The entrance had even been meticulously decorated; besides the hanging emerald-green vines, many bright feathers of various colors and gemstones were inserted, along with some brightly colored items.
Feng Shi could clearly feel the dense aura of a demonic beast at the entrance.
How could Shen Songhe come to such a place for no reason? He must have been caught by the demonic beast here!
Thinking of this, his complexion worsened, and he questioned Qingqing, who was floating over his shoulder: “The protagonist is in danger, and you didn’t warn me? You even let me look everywhere like an idiot. Is this your attitude towards handling tasks?”
Qingqing shuddered under his icy glare. It was originally a normal system arrangement, but it was made to feel a bit guilty, explaining: [It’s not like that, Host, this… the protagonist isn’t temporarily in danger right now, so…]
“Hehe.”
Qingqing: Ying ying, it’s all the fault of this pre-arranged script!
In front of the cave was a small, flat stone terrace. Feng Shi landed on it, grasped Wucheng in his hand, and then approached the cave entrance, releasing a wisp of spiritual energy as thin as a hair to investigate.
Feng Shi hadn’t yet unlocked his divine sense; he could only rely on this primitive method to test the waters, unable to see the situation inside.
Through this wisp of spiritual energy, he could faintly sense that the cave was very deep, and the demonic beast seemed to be away.
But even if the demonic beast was there, it didn’t matter. As long as Shen Songhe was inside, even if it were a dragon’s pool or a tiger’s den, he had to barge in.
Just as Feng Shi was about to disperse this wisp of spiritual energy and enter, there was suddenly a response from within the cave.
A familiar wisp of spiritual energy gently entwined around his.
“It’s Shizun!”
A look of joy appeared on Feng Shi’s face, and he also responded.
Just like this, Feng Shi followed the intertwined spiritual energies into the cave.
The inside of the cave twisted and turned, but there were no forks in the path. The tunnel was high and wide, and he could reach the end just by going straight.
He didn’t know exactly what kind of demonic beast lived here, but it certainly loved dressing things up. All along the way, he saw feathers and such similar to the entrance. Various colored gemstones and crystals flickered with light, so it wasn’t dark at all.
Feng Shi walked carefully. After about half a quarter of an hour, the area in front of him finally opened up suddenly, revealing a massive space shaped like the belly of a pot.
The top of this space couldn’t be seen. The mountain walls were adorned with even more decorations, and the ground below was paved with dry, clean straw.
“Shi… Shixiong!”
Feng Shi spotted Shen Songhe sitting properly not far away at first glance. In his excitement, the word ‘Shizun’ almost slipped out.
Hearing Feng Shi’s voice, Shen Songhe was also in a bit of a daze for a moment before remembering that he wasn’t currently his Shizun, but his Shixiong.
“Shixiong,” Feng Shi quickly walked closer, glancing slightly around. “How did Shixiong end up here? Were you caught by the demonic beast in this cave?”
Shen Songhe nodded. Seeing Feng Shi reaching out to touch him, his expression tightened: “Don’t move!”
Feng Shi’s fingers froze in mid-air.
Under his bewildered gaze, Shen Songhe released a trace of his own spiritual energy. As soon as the pale blue spiritual energy seeped from his fingertips, a wall of light pierced down from above, entirely enclosing him.
He raised a hand and knocked on the wall of light, saying faintly: “If you touch it, the demonic beast will be able to sense it immediately.”
Feng Shi retracted his hand, took a slight step back, and frowned: “Then how am I supposed to rescue Shixiong out of here?”
“This demonic beast already has strength close to the Yuanying stage. You can’t handle it alone; go find Zhangmen.”
Feng Shi said anxiously: “Will there be time? If that demonic beast comes back, what will Shixiong do?”
When a demonic beast caught a person, it was usually to eat them. Feng Shi was afraid that if he left and the demonic beast returned, it would be dangerous for Shen Songhe to be left all alone.
Shen Songhe lowered his eyes, looking at the various sparkling items piled up beside him, and said in a deep voice: “It’s fine.”
“It didn’t capture me to eat me…”
Feng Shi: “Then what for?”
Shen Songhe fell silent for a moment, somewhat at a loss for words. He closed his eyes before continuing: “It’s… for courtship.”
Feng Shi: ???
He suspected he had misheard, but in the next instant, he snapped back to his senses.
How the f*ck could this be tolerated??
He couldn’t help but feel a fire burning in his heart. Why was it that no matter what kind of random creature it was, they were all coveting his Shizun!!
Feng Shi stood up and kicked away the decorations on the ground: “What crappy demonic beast! Crappy things!”
Looking at these things just now, there didn’t seem to be any problem, but looking at them again now, wasn’t this damn demonic beast’s intention far too obvious?!
“Don’t worry, Shixiong, I’ll go find Zhangmen right now to rescue you!” Feng Shi gritted his teeth, trampling all the things the demonic beast used to show its love for Shen Songhe into a messy pulp under his feet.
Shen Songhe nodded.
However, right at this moment, a flurry of hurried, heavy footsteps suddenly came from the cave tunnel behind them.
The commotion happened so unexpectedly that neither of them noticed it in time.
Feng Shi turned around and precisely met the gaze of a giant bird covered entirely in crimson feathers.
The giant bird was holding a large bunch of fresh wildflowers in its beak. Seeing Feng Shi, and the items completely ruined under Feng Shi’s feet, the whole bird was dumbfounded.
“Ah—!”
Reacting, the giant bird suddenly let out an angry cry with its drake-like voice. Tossing the flowers aside, its hind legs exerted force, and it launched itself headlong toward Feng Shi.
This primitive and brutal method of attack…
Feng Shi was stupefied by its dopey appearance.
