The Pastoral Life of a Cultivation Master

Chapter 3111 Surrounded by Beasts

The shadowy figure threw out the stick, knowing full well that it was impossible for anyone else to take it away.

After all, he had forged the stick himself; it was practically one with him. How could he possibly throw it and have someone else catch it?

Furthermore, the staff is decorated with array patterns to prevent enemies from taking it. Once someone else gets their hands on it, its energy circuit will release lightning to attack the enemy.

Seeing Qian Ying recklessly grab the stick after he threw it, Qian Ying was overjoyed. He hadn't seen anything like this in a long time, and throwing the stick again to tease the guy in front of him naturally made him very happy.

Imagine yourself underwater in the lake, and before you know it, so much time has passed. Now, take up your weapon and play around with your enemies, adding a little excitement to your otherwise boring life.

He swung the stick, and in the blink of an eye, it stopped abruptly, the end of the stick landing on the gravel road.

With a loud "bang!", the bluestone beneath the stick was smashed into dust, and the force was so great that the stick sank a section into the soil.

The powerful air pressure caused the surrounding gravel and vegetation to be blown up and drawn into the airflow.

Under such circumstances, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing also stopped in their tracks, a bitter feeling welling up in their hearts.

Can't run!

If you were blocked by a monster just now, you might still be able to escape, but now that you're blocked by a shadowy figure, how are you going to escape?

The dark figure in front of them, judging from those few moves, especially the one where the stick slammed into the ground, was clearly not someone the two of them could handle.

The power, speed, and aura displayed by the shadowy figure were beyond the capabilities of the two of them. In particular, this shadowy figure also controlled more than a hundred strange beasts.

Damn it, why did I have to come and check on the beasts? If I hadn't come, we might not be stuck here.

Perhaps, even if they didn't come, the two of them would be able to escape their fate of being hunted down.

But now, there's nothing to say. We're stuck here, what else can we do?
"Damn little mouse, trying to escape?" The shadowy figure chuckled, the sound as sharp as fingernails scraping against glass.

He darted forward and landed on the back of another beast. He didn't want to stand on the ground, looking these two intruders at eye level. He preferred to be high above, watching his prey tremble in fear under the siege of numerous beasts.

Standing on the back of the strange beast, he continued, "Damn little rats, tell me, how did you manage to get in here?"

He was very curious. The entire valley should be an independent space, and outsiders would not be able to enter the valley without permission or by not being able to find the entrance.

The entire valley is a special space, protected by an array. How did these guys manage to break in?

At this moment, more than a hundred strange beasts had formed a circle, surrounding the two of them and staring at them silently.

They were just waiting for the shadowy figure to give the order to tear them both to shreds.

With over a hundred of them watching, it was impossible not to have some doubts. Although these strange beasts varied in size, based on their previous encounter on the lakeshore, it was reasonable to estimate that while they might not be as strong as the unicorn beast, they wouldn't be far off.

How could they escape? The two looked at the surrounding beast and the dark shadow on its back. They were no match for it, but to save their lives, running away was the only option. "This…" Qian Ying wanted to answer, but didn't know how to address the dark figure before her.

"Hmph! Call me Lord Shadow." Shadow snorted, thinking that his face was long gone and his current appearance was a bit strange, so he might as well let these two little mice call him Lord Shadow.

"Yes, Lord Shadow!" Qian Ying was very astute. When he realized that things were not going to work, he immediately softened and said very respectfully, "It was just a coincidence that we came to this valley."

"Coincidence? Coincidence what? Explain how you got in here," the shadowy figure sneered.

Qian Ying thought about it and realized that the way to enter the valley wasn't a secret; the whole group knew it. So she didn't ask the shadowy figure to urge her on, but simply recounted how her group had entered the valley and what they had encountered along the way.

"You said that to enter this valley, we need to go through a passage inside the mountain, which is full of crystal scenery?" The dark figure asked with a frown and some doubt.

"Yes, we have to go through a crystal passage, and inside there's something that looks like a fox, but its entire body is covered in crystal-like skin, and it attacks us. Although it's not very strong, it can detonate itself, and the impact is still quite powerful," Qian Ying said again.

The shadowy figure was completely confused. In the past, to enter the Supreme Sect, one didn't need to go through any mountain passages; simply using an identity token, one could be directly teleported to the mountain gate.

Could it be that this passage and the way to enter were set up by the sect so that someone would enter after they leave?

But what are we going to do by letting people in here?
It's important to understand that there are many dangerous areas in the entire valley. Even cultivators might encounter danger, let alone ordinary people.

He had observed these intruders, and it seemed that their cultivation systems were all different from his.

"Tell me about your cultivation system, how you cultivate," the shadowy figure asked again.

Following the shadowy figure's lead, Qian Ying then reiterated their cultivation system. Of course, they wouldn't discuss the family's internal cultivation manuals or techniques.

Upon hearing this, the shadowy figure thought of the body cultivation path in the cultivation world, which seemed similar to the intruder's cultivation system. Could it be that true cultivators no longer exist in this world, and it's all just body cultivators putting on a show?

The shadowy figure asked Qian Ying a question, but received no answer.

After all, Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing really didn't know anything about cultivation or cultivators.

Seeing their expressions, the shadowy figure asked again, "Then tell me more about the various cultivation systems in the outside world. Tell me about everything you know."

Qian Ying and Zhou Zixing sensed that the shadowy figure didn't seem to know much about the outside world. However, since the figure wanted to learn about the outside world instead of fighting them, that was fine. Perhaps with this information, the shadowy figure might let them go later.

Moreover, after entering this valley, they still didn't know how to leave. Of course, they could retrace their steps, entering and exiting from the same point. But along the way, they had encountered countless monsters and traps, as well as various harsh environments.

The thought of turning back made my heart tremble. I asked the shadowy figure if there was an exit if I continued forward.

If they behaved well, the shadowy figure might let them go.
