Outside Of Time

Chapter 1325 - 1325 The Paranoid Fellow Daoist Feng and the Two Crazies (1)

“Something’s not right.”

In the sky above Liaoxuan County, the moment Xu Qing’s great wing stepped in the range of the county, Xu Qing’s eyes narrowed.

Beside him, the expression of the originally sloppy Erniu changed as he muttered.

“The stench of blood is so dense. Only the deaths of a million or more living beings can accumulate such stench.”

“A million?” Xu Qing vigilantly scanned his surroundings before looking into the distance.

Back when going to Flame Moon Mystic Heaven, they didn’t take this route. The reason they chose this route while returning was caution, so they only decided on it a few days ago

For this reason, Xu Qing and the captain each compiled information about this place.

They had some understanding of this county and knew that at the edges of this county, there were some native races scattered around.

Because these races lived in the buffer zone between the two races, they were usually very careful, and gave offerings to the human race and the Flame Moon Mystic Heaven Race.

However, the bloody aura now made them solemn.

“I wonder if it was the ferocious beasts or those races here that formed such a bloody scene.”

Xu Qing pondered silently, exchanging a glance of solemnity with the captain, both discerning the gravity in each other’s eyes.

Regardless of whether it was the ferocious beasts or the races that formed this bloody aura, it meant that a drastic change had occurred in Liaoxuan County and it had become unsafe.

“Could it be that some god or old fellow is planning to rob us here?”

The captain was vigilant.

“If that’s the case, it’s impossible for us to smell such dense blood here. This way of alerting the enemy doesn’t seem like the method of a god.”

Xu Qing spoke in a low voice.

If it were indeed an ambush, there must be some concealment, or perhaps some restriction would have erupted at this moment.

But now, other than the stench of blood, everything was normal.

The captain nodded.

“It doesn’t look like those old fellows’ ways either, this is too crude.”

The two of them discussed and the captain felt that they could continue to move forward. However, after careful consideration, Xu Qing decided to move around this county.

At this point, changing their route meant taking a detour which consumed more time and likely increased the level of danger as time passed.ger level would probably increase drastically as time passed.

Moreover, this place wasn’t far from the human race’s territory. With their speed, they would arrive in seven days at most.

However, since he had discovered that something was amiss, with Xu Qing’s personality, he naturally wouldn’t enter headfirst.

After considering their options, they swiftly retreated from Liaoxuan County. Then, from another direction outside the county, they prepared to cautiously proceed, planning to spend two to three times the usual time to make a small detour.

While Xu Qing and the captain chose to leave, in an area not far from their location, there stood a nonhuman race’s city.

This city belonged to a small tribe and currently, it was in a sealed state, filled with corpses and blood.

In the air, the expressions of several experts of this race were filled with horror, anxiety, and despair.

What they fought against were clouds of insects that were formed by black centipedes the size of an arm with ghost face totems on their backs.

Their sounds gathered together to form an extremely shrill and sharp sound.

Their number was no less than hundreds of thousands.

Under their siege, those Nihility elders of this race couldn’t hold on for long at all. Soon, one of them, whose cultivation had depleted, was swarmed by a group of venomous insects that burrowed into his body, resulting in a tragic demise.

Above them, two figures stood in the sky.

The man and woman were none other than the youth surnamed Feng and the woman named Lan Yao.

“These Ghost Spirit Black Centipedes that Fellow Daoist Feng reared are quite profound. From the looks of it, it won’t be long before they can evolve into Heaven Centipedes.”

Lan Yao calmly spoke.

Feng smiled.

“Fellow Daoist Lan, you are overpraising. It’s impossible for these dark centipedes to evolve without a few hundred years. Even if they… Hmm?”

Feng’s countenance suddenly changed and he looked into the distance.

A dark glint flashed in Lan Yao’s eyes as she spoke softly.

“Fellow Daoist Feng, did you discover anything?”

“It’s nothing. I believe Fellow Daoist Lan has also sensed it, right? Previously, out of caution, I scattered some void eyes that I brought from the holy land. This eye is a secret treasure in my race. Although its other effects are ordinary, it’s extremely good in concealment. Its source is a void beast that belongs to ancient times. It’s not within the rules of this world, so it can’t be detected by the natives here.”

“Just now, two native low-level cultivators appeared in the range of the void eye.”

Feng narrowed his eyes and slowly spoke.

“However, these two are quite cautious. They didn’t enter further but chose to leave. Since that’s the case, I can’t be bothered to divert my focus to stop them. I should prioritize the preparations for the significant event now. Consider them lucky.”

Lan Yao smiled slightly.

“Fellow Daoist Feng’s actions are indeed cautious. It seems the words that incited Yue Dong to leave earlier were not spoken because you were taking the situation here lightly.”

Feng didn’t comment. Lan Yao’s eyes flickered and she didn’t ask anymore.

As for Xu Qing and Erniu, they had already left Liaoxuan County. For the rest of the journey, the old hag great wing moved in a blurred state under the effect of Xu Qing’s spell. He fully activated its concealment power and its speed was also a little faster than before.

It silently sped through the sky.

As expected, the smell of blood was gone. However, the two of them were still vigilant. Just like that, a few days passed and the journey was peaceful. There were only three days left until they reached the human race’s territory.
