Chapter 349: Chapter 356: So Angry! (First Update)
Translator: 549690339 ‘
Mo Xueling did not explain the matter of the Blood Illusion Bronze, probably because she was not sure about it herself at the moment.
Seeing Mo Xueling’s expression growing more solemn, Yang Zhen and the others all wore puzzled looks on their faces.
Yang Zhen was a bit better, having witnessed the strange object with his own eyes, but the others seemed quite at a loss-they clearly had never even heard of it before.
Mo Xueling obviously knew about the Blood Illusion Bronze, and she knew it very clearly. In fact, Yang Zhen had noticed her comprehensive knowledge, she seemed to know a lot about things that were unknown to others.
At first, Yang Zhen thought that Mo Xueling, this exotic beauty, was just a widely learned person. The more he knew her, the more he became suspicious Knowing even about the Blood Illusion Bronze, something from the Forbidden Land of Life, was clearly beyond the scope of being widely read.
Especially knowing about the Blood Illusion Bronze, even the wretched cat seemed baffled. It seemed to have heard of Blood Illusion Bronze, but had a look of blank confusion as if it were struggling to recall.
Yang Zhen slapped this unreliable charmer on the head and angrily said, “Think quickly! All you do is eat. You drop the ball at crucial moments. You’re less useful than a small girl.”
“Damn it!” The wretched cat, knocked off balance by Yang Zhen’s slap, instantly grew angry. It was about to start ranting when it paused, scratched its head, and suddenly said excitedly, “The lord remembers now. Damn it, I knew it, I have definitely seen the Blood Illusion Bronze.”
Yang Zhen was startled and turned around to look at the wretched cat with a bewildered expression, asking incredulously, “You…have seen it?”
Not just heard of it, but seen it. What the heck had this creature been up to before?
Mo Xueling, standing in front, trembled slightly and turned her head to look at the wretched cat in surprise. Her jewel-blue eyes were full of astonishment.
The wretched cat looked smug and then shuddered abruptly, turned cowardly, and said to Yang Zhen, “Kid, if it is indeed the Blood Illusion Bronze, you must stay away from it!”
“Why?” Yang Zhen glanced questioningly at Hua Youyue.
Before the wretched cat could reply, a dim voice came from the front, “Because the Blood Illusion Bronze can directly confront the biggest desires in a creature’s heart, making them fall into an endless Illusion Domain until death.” Yang Zhen jumped, looking towards the wretched cat.
The wretched cat nodded and said in a strange voice, “Damn it, not just that, rumor has it the ancient evil force forged this object. It’s tremendously wicked. They even said that the evil force was able to attain eternal life in the Tribulation Crossing Period due to the Blood Illusion Bronze.”
“What the hell? The ancient period, even earlier than the Eternal Age?” Yang
Zhen shivered all over: “Can it really grant eternal life?”
The wretched cat replied with a smirk, “Damn it, achieving eternal life isn’t easy at all. The evilness of the Blood Illusion Bronze stems from its ability to steal the life force of any living being and store it in something called the Funeral Heaven Nail as backup. The creatures whose life source was stolen eventually die from the Illusion Domain chained to the bronze branches Not only do they expend their life force, but their Spirit Soul will also be trapped, stuck in limbo eternally!”
Yang Zhen, filled with disbelief, exchanged a bewildered look with Hua Youyue. At first, something seemed off about Hua Youyue’s expression. Could it be that the place she was trying to go to was not Bone Mountain but the Blood Illusion Bronze, that is, the Ancient Bronze Tree?
How could Hua Youyue possibly be connected to such an evil thing? upon catching sight of Yang Zhen’s gaze, Hua Youyue walked over to him and slowly said, “Such an evil thing should not exist. I feel a surge of anger in my heart… but it’s not my own!”
Yang Zhen’s heart tightened, “What does that mean, ‘not your own’?”
“I… have never heard the name ‘Blood Illusion Bronze’ before!” Hua Youyue explained, “When Mo Lingnu mentioned the name ‘Blood Illusion Bronze,’ I instantly felt anger within my heart.”
The wretched cat sat on Yang Zhen’s shoulder, watching Hua Youyue with a puzzled expression, “Girl, do you feel anything now, like something… or someone inside your body?”
Hua Youyue trembled and shook her head perplexedly, “No!”
She was firm in her answer, and Hua Youyue never lied.
Yang Zhen let out a sigh of relief. He had the same thought as the wretched cat just now. After all, feeling anger towards something you have never seen or heard of before was indeed mysterious.
“Damn!”
Yang Zhen exhaled, looking up at the fading figures of Shi Yan and Liu Zongqi, and said, “Let’s pursue them first, and talk later!”
The closer they got to the Forbidden Land of Life, the more mysteries seemed to pile up. If it didn’t involve the young lady, Yang Zhen would have treated it as an exciting game. But now, as the young lady’s abnormalities gradually manifested, Yang Zhen felt at a loss.
This feeling greatly displeased Yang Zhen, to the point of extreme irritation!
Thus, Yang Zhen decided first to figure things out, to regain control of the situation.
The Scoundrel Cat hesitated before reminding him again, “Stay away from the Blood Illusion Bronze, or not even a Saint can save you!”
Yang Zhen nodded, his face serious as he pressed forward.
With Yang Zhen’s horrifying physical strength, chasing down a person in the Forbidden Land of Life was too easy.
Before long, Yang Zhen caught up with Liu Zongqi and the others, then suddenly his body shook.
Liu Zongqi and the others were not far from the ancient bronze tree, yet there was a eerie vibe around them. Yang Zhen yelled out, but they seemed to not have heard and just continued forward.
“Liu Zongqi, your mom says to go home for dinner!”
“Shi Yan, you flat-chest!”
Damn it!” Yang Zhen exchanged glances with the Scoundrel Cat. “What’s wrong with them?”
The Scoundrel Cat looked confused, mumbling to himself: “We’re in trouble!”
The recently arrived Mo Xueling also suffered a jolt, staring at the ancient bronze tree with tree-top out of sight and her expression was of shock.
“Blood Illusion Bronze, such a huge… Blood Illusion Bronze tree!”
Mo Xueling murmured to herself with a look of surprise terror in her eyes, suddenly yelled out: “Run!”
Her sudden shout startled Yang Zhen. As he grabbed Mo Xueling and Hua Youyue, one of Liu Zongqi’s group, a practitioner, jumped onto the Blood Illusion Bronze tree, impaling himself.
Looking at the practitioner hanging from the tree, a pole running through him, Yang Zhen was stunned: “Holy shit, dude got himself skewered?”
The practitioner dangled from the Blood Illusion Bronze tree, blood flowing down the bronze branches and absorbed by the colossal tree trunk.
Yang Zhen felt a chill down his spine, he turned to run when suddenly a humming vibration echoed from the ancient bronze tree. It felt like something on it had been activated, causing a shock wave that exploded from the ancient bronze tree and radiated in all directions.
“Run!”
Yang Zhen yelled, dropped everything, grabbed Mo Xueling and Hua Youyue under his arms, and shot forward.
The Scoundrel Cat turned back to look: everyone hit by the invisible shock wave stood still as if they had become walking corpses, advancing towards the ancient bronze tree.
“Son of a bitch, Run, RUN! This thing is too freakin’ weird!” The Scoundrel Cat kept slapping Yang Zhen’s shoulder. Yang Zhen ran furiously: “Damn it, keep squawking and I’ll throw you back!”
Thump!
A dull thud: clearly, another person had impaled themselves.
Yang Zhen’s face changed. He looked back to see the invisible shock wave suddenly speeding up, rushing towards him head-on, too fast for him to outrun.
“Damn, I’m not having this!”
Yang Zhen released the two women, rolled up his sleeves, and charged at the shock wave.
What are you doing?” the two women exclaimed in panic.
“Gonna deal with it!”
