Qingfeng Li’s Heavenly Immortal Chant was very powerful, being able to create a defensive light veil that blocked the black mucus falling at him from above.
Qingfeng Li looked at Mengyao Fu with concern. He was afraid that Mengyao Fu would be corroded by the mucus.
But Qingfeng Li was surprised when he saw what she had done. Mengyao Fu had also created a defensive light veil. It was a red one, preventing the black mucus from touching her as well.
Qingfeng Li was shocked. He knew the Taotie was a powerful ancient ferocious beast, and its mucus could only be resisted with immortal level techniques.
Mengyao Fu had practiced immortal level technique. How did she get it? Qingfeng Li frowned with confusion.
Mengyao Fu sensed Qingfeng Li’s shock, but she redirected his attention by pointing forward and saying,
Let’s move.
Qingfeng Li scowled and said,
What do you mean? Why should we proceed and not stay here?
Mengyao Fu shook her head and said,
There is no point in staying. The black mucus will keep dropping down on us. We can withstand it for now, but eventually, we’ll still die when we run out of the vital essence and can’t maintain the defensive light veil.
Qingfeng Li eventually nodded, because he knew Mengyao Fu was right. They must leave if they wanted to live.
Qingfeng Li walked forward, following Mengyao Fu. He looked at her from behind and felt a sense of familiarity. She looked just like Mengyao Xu from Huaxia.
Qingfeng had known Mengyao Xu for a long time in Huaxia, ever since he arrived at Eastern Sea city, and a lot of things had happened between them. He could talk about their stories for a whole day.
Qingfeng Li suddenly asked,
Do you know Mengyao Xu?
Hearing Qingfeng Li’s words, Mengyao Fu halted for a second, but she kept walking forward the next moment and ignored Qingfeng Li.
Qingfeng Li could tell from her actions that she definitely had some form of connection with Mengyao Xu. Otherwise, she would not hesitate for that brief second.
Qingfeng Li sighed and didn’t keep asking. He knew that she wouldn’t answer if he continued to ask more questions.
The inside of the Taotie was very large, like a mystic realm or an independent world.
Qingfeng Li and Mengyao Fu walked for a long time but still didn’t reach the end. They began turning pale because of the consumption of their vital essence.
Qingfeng Li looked at Mengyao Fu and asked,
How large is this dimension inside of the Taotie? Why did you get us to move this direction?
Mengyao Fu explained,
I have read the list of ancient ferocious beasts and I know their body structures. The Taotie was on the list.
Qingfeng Li was excited and asked,
Tell me, what’s the structure like inside of the Taotie?
Mengyao Fu recalled the introductions in the book for a while.
Qingfeng Li, I’ll tell you. The Taotie is the cruelest one among the ten great ferocious beasts. It likes to devour everything, and the inside of its body is just a devouring dimension. In other words, it’s a whirlpool here, pretty much like a black hole.
Mengyao Fu recited to Qingfeng Li what she had read from the ancient book.
Qingfeng Li was shocked to learn that the inside of the Taotie was like a black hole in outer space. It was like his Devourer Bloodline, which could also eat up everything.
Qingfeng Li kept asking,
Mengyao Fu, if we keep walking, can we find a way out?
Mengyao Fu shook her head and said,
I’m not sure. Judging from what I read in the ancient book, I think the only way to get out of here is to walk forward.
Qingfeng Li nodded and kept walking with Mengyao Fu without any other questions.
It seemed a little dull inside the closed space, with black mucus dripping from above and uneven meteorite ground underneath.
The Taotie was quite powerful and could even melt meteorites with its black mucus.
These meteorites were not from normal planets, but specifically rare materials from high-tier planets, which were extremely hard. Even so, they were melting and becoming the energy of Taotie.
After walking for a while, Qingfeng Li began feeling tired, as sweat covered his pale face.
He had to keep channeling the vital essence inside his body to form the defensive light veil with the Heavenly Immortal Chant. It consumed his energy rapidly.
Qingfeng Li glanced to the side and found Mengyao Fu also looked pale. She was tired after consuming so much energy, with sweat wetting her hair.
Qingfeng Li said,
Mengyao Fu, let’s stop and restore some vital essence.
Qingfeng Li quickly thought of something and took two bottles of elixirs from his interspatial ring.
Qingfeng Li got these elixirs after killing the other self-cultivators, most of which were for restoring energy.
These two bottles were vital essence elixir, with ten pills in each bottle. The pills contained large amounts of vital essence. Self-cultivators could refine the elixirs and absorb the energy after eating the pills.
Mengyao Fu, these are vital essence elixirs. Take one bottle.
Qingfeng Li took out one bottle and handed it over to Mengyao Fu.
Mengyao Fu certainly knew how precious was this elixir. She said,
You also need to replenish energy. Why give this to me?
Qingfeng Li shook his head and said with a smile,
I have two bottles. You take one, I have another.
Seeing Mengyao declining, Qingfeng Li stuffed the bottle into her hands with no further argument.
Qingfeng Li knew Mengyao Fu had been swallowed by the Taotie during her attempt to save him, so he would not let her die here and had to give this elixir to her.
Mengyao Fu had complicated feelings. She looked at Qingfeng Li with a strange expression, which made Qingfeng Li feel the sense of familiarity again.
Qingfeng Li took out a vital essence pill and ate it, refining it and absorbing the energy.
After a while, Qingfeng Li restored his vital essence and his face began to look ruddy again.
Mengyao Fu, don’t waste time and eat the vital essence elixir. Let’s keep moving,
Qingfeng Li said to Mengyao Fu.
