I Don’t Want Big Honey Peas Anymore
“What?”
Mu Yu pointed to the dismembered limbs on around them and dark-purple blood decorating the stone walls. Following further along, Qiao Xue saw the blood flowing toward the carving.
“We can use the bloodbats’ blood instead of our own.”
“We need a tactic to catch them and extract their blood, then,” stated Qiao Xue, figuratively slapping herself for being impulsive before.
Mu Yu gave Xiaoshuai a tug. “If I blow up the bloodbats, would you be able to manipulate the spiritual qi here to collect the spraying blood?”
“I can. More importantly, though, how are you planning to blow them up?”
“Treat them to an explosion pill,” Mu Yu answered with a smug grin.
“Don’t go overboard, or you’ll blow them to particles and dry their blood.”
“I’ll try my best.”Mu Yu slashed his finger to goad the bats. They screamed but maintained distance owing to the flame. He offered his blood to the explosion pill and injected it with his spiritual energy. He left the premise of the stone door. In the best-case scenario, the pill would blow the door up. In the less ideal scenario, he’d have bloodbats’ blood to feed the door. He hurled the explosion pill. The bloodbats blurred through the air.
“Bang!” commanded Mu Yu.
Before the bloodbats, near and far away, realised it, their limbs and insides put on a firework performance. Xiaoshuai used the same cue to begin wagging his tail, condensing the blood within a fixed area. The only blood he could collect was that which came from injured bloodbats. He condensed the blood into a dark-purple ball of blood with a diameter of one metre.
Mu Yu mumbled, “I’m curious where the bloodbats down here sourced their blood from or what they lived off if not blood.”
Qiao Xue couldn’t bear to look at the blood coursing down the stone door. Nevertheless, the door absorbed the blood trickling down on it. Rumble! The surviving bloodbats fled helter-skelter but further down, surprisingly. They were able to somehow cross through the boundary below.
“Oh, they must exit through that path to feast on blood. That suggests there’s an exit below the boundary. Only you fiends can leave, huh? What do we call this, racism?” Mu Yu commented.
Roar! The stone carving on the door stared at the trio with its golden eyes. It merged from the door, splitting the bottom of the door. A menacing gale blew a putrid stench out from the gap. There was a dark-green light within and some sort of utterance.
“Great, now what?”
“That’s the fiend language. It’s warning us not to trespass, or we will be killed,” blurted Xiaoshuai.
“Then, give us a way back, stupid fiend or whatever you are. Blocking the way forward and back, whose brain dead idea was it?!”
They ventured into the passageway. The dark-green light came from the inlaid emeralds on the ceiling. There were bizarre carvings on the stone walls comparable to the ones they saw in the cave. They had no time to spare on examining the images. Nothing stopped them during the entire hour. They could hear the muttering at certain intervals. Besides that, it was just their breathing and movement. As the passageway grew brighter, the voice was heard more frequently.
“I can’t see what’s in front,” said Mu Yu, covering his vision using his hand. “It’s so bright that fortifying my eyes with spiritual energy doesn’t help.”
Qiao Xue used her blue ribbon as shade for them. They could see the crystal screen emitting the blinding-white light on the other side of the ribbon. The white screen resembled a body of moving gas. There were two fishes swimming inside the screen.
Mu Yu reached underneath the blue ribbon to touch the screen on the other side. Without using spiritual energy, it’d repel his hand. Using spiritual energy, it’d drain his spiritual energy.
“Is it a treasure or something?”
“We should destroy the screen,” declared Qiao Xue.
“The fishes won’t attack us for that, will they?”
Mu Yu swore to not underestimate anything at Second Heaven after multiple crises. Additionally, he was willing to bet the two, like other fiend beasts, weren’t items on display.
“Any brighter ideas?”
Qiao Xue struck the light screen but only generated a gentle ripple. Mu Yu stabbed it using Shadow Splitter, barely sinking it in before rebounding. Mu Yu released his control on his sword, leading to it impaling the rocky wall. The two experimented again without any results to show.
“The two fishes were the ones who warned trespassers to not enter,” reported Xiaoshuai, swinging his claw around. “The screen works based on the same principle as a spring. Whatever force you impose on it, an equal force will repel you.”
“I don’t get it,” expressed Qiao Xue.
“In other words, you can’t break through using brute force, display hostility or express ill will. Wait, how do I know all this?” Xiaoshuai closed his eyes and pinched his chin. He glided over and pushed up against the screen. As he said, he rebounded straight back.
Mu Yu pulled Xiaoshuai over. “You sure?”
Xiaoshuai addressed the itch on his butt cheek. “My bad, my bad. The big honey pea distracted me. Let me try again. I don’t want to eat a big honey pea. I don’t want to eat a big honey pea. I don’t want to eat a big honey pea. “
Mu Yu watched Xiaoshuai with an elbow tugged up. Xiaoshuai bounced and bounced then plastered himself to the screen. By some magic, he passed through.
