A thousand enlightenments in one night, starting from being a menial apprentice.

"Undercurrents?!" Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang's eyes lit up upon hearing this.

“That’s right,” Sun Fujia said. “Years ago, I once caught a black-headed dragon in this river, but it escaped by shedding its skin. I chased it to the bottom of the river and saw it disappear into the undercurrent.”

"After I chased it in and captured the black-headed dragon, out of curiosity, I wanted to see where the underground current led, so I followed the winding current. When I emerged from the current, I found myself deep in a dark forest."

Lü Zhongtang said, "In that case, I'll trouble Brother Sun to lead the way."

Lü Zhongtang felt that if there were a hidden and safe undercurrent that could lead to the depths of the dark forest, it would be possible to avoid harassment along the way.

"Brother Lü, it's no trouble at all. Come with me."

After Sun Fujia finished speaking, he suddenly flew up and, like a ghost, plunged headfirst into the river.

He plunged into the river, but not a single drop of water splashed up. In fact, the phytoplankton swayed with the rhythm of the flowing water, as if Sun Fujia had never entered the water at all.

Sun Fujia clearly entered the river using the power of laws, much like the ability to pass through walls, which is why the river seemed to remain still.

Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang then entered the river. All three were like ghosts, not even splashing a drop of water.

The phytoplankton in the river emitted a faint fluorescent glow as Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang followed Sun Fujia as they swam towards a certain spot on the riverbed.

Sun Fujia suddenly vanished from the bottom of the river in a flash.

Looking closely, one can see fine river sand floating continuously...

Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang followed suit, one after the other, and crawled inside.

As soon as they plunged into the riverbed, everything went dark. The faint fluorescent light disappeared, and Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang found themselves in a gurgling undercurrent...

Although the undercurrent was dark and without light, the two of them released their divine senses and immediately saw every detail. Sun Fujia was not far in front of them.

The three followed the underground current, meandering forward...

In the darkness, after an unknown amount of time, Sun Fujia's figure suddenly disappeared in front of them.

Duan Rong's heart stirred, and he and Lü Zhongtang swam over together.

Before they even reached the place where Sun Fujia disappeared, their divine senses probed and they had already discovered something amiss.

The two of them immediately vanished from that spot like ghosts.

The next moment, Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang leaped out of another river, their figures like ghosts, and landed not far from the riverbank.

Sun Fujia was already standing there.

Although the three of them swam through the dark current, their clothes were dry, without a single water stain.

As soon as the two landed, Sun Fujia said, "Be careful. We're already deep in the Dark Forest, where high-level elemental beasts roam."

Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang had both released their divine senses, and within a radius of several feet, every detail was clearly visible, yet there was not a single Yuan Beast.

This is actually a dangerous sign.

High-level elemental beasts have a very clear sense of territory and usually stay in a fixed area, rarely intruding into the territory of other high-level elemental beasts. Low-level or mid-level elemental beasts dare not enter the territory of high-level elemental beasts at all.

The three traveled together, flying cautiously forward at a slow pace, as they still needed to search for the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat.

Sun Fujia led the two deeper into the dense forest. Duan Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and he couldn't help but turn his head to look behind him.

When they entered the ruins of gods and demons, Lin Youjian and Liu Su led them through the depths of the dark forest to reach the ruins.

The outer perimeter of the God and Demon Ruins is a desolate wasteland stretching for hundreds of miles, where many high-level elemental beasts roam.

If you walked behind him, this dense forest would probably lead to a barren wasteland stretching for miles, but Sun Fujia was clearly leading them in the opposite direction.

Duan Rong's eyes flickered, and he couldn't help but ask, "Elder Sun, isn't going in this direction taking us further and further away from the ruins of gods and demons?"

Upon hearing this, Sun Fujia turned to look at Duan Rong and said, "That's right. But this dense forest bordering the barren wasteland of the Hundred-Mile Red Land is also a place where high-level Yuan Beasts roam. Moreover, the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat usually moves in this dense forest, while the Nine Nether Hound often appears in the Red Land."

Seeing that Sun Fujia's words made sense, Duan Rong no longer had any doubts and went into the dense forest.

As they traversed the dense forest, suddenly all three felt a jolt between their brows. Some distance away, there were obvious spatial ripples. The next moment, a tentacle as thick as a person's waist, secreting mucus, shot out from the dense forest and coiled towards them.

The three remained motionless, with spatial ripples surging above their heads.

The power of the three laws surged suddenly, creating an astonishing aura. The tentacle, which had been coiled in mid-air, suddenly paused, then retracted and disappeared.

Clearly, a high-level elemental beast was frightened away by the combined power of the laws emanating from the three of them.

Duan Rong glanced at the tree trunk that had been snapped off not far away by a tentacle as thick as a person's waist, which was still covered with a lot of nauseating, waxy yellow slime.

Sun Fujia said, "It's an Eight-Armed Crow. Judging from the fact that the slime is still waxy yellow, it should be a high-level Yuan Beast that has just awakened and advanced. In a few years, the slime will turn dark red and contain a lot of poison."

"Let's go."

The three continued deeper into the dense forest, with Sun Fujia exploring with his divine sense.

Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang were also paying attention to their surroundings.

After exploring for a while longer, Sun Fujia suddenly turned and leaped towards a large tree. He stopped in front of the tree and looked down at its roots.

Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang followed his gaze and saw a pile of excrement, which was reddish-brown and contained tiny black seeds that looked like sesame seeds.

Sun Fujia said, "This is the excrement of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat!"

Duan Rong's eyes widened, thinking to himself: This fellow surnamed Sun is really something, he can even recognize excrement.
Sun Fujia explained, "The Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat loves to eat red pomegranates, which is why its feces are reddish-brown. And those little black seeds in its feces are the undigested seeds of the red pomegranates."

Duan Rong said, "Elder Sun, does that mean this dense forest is the territory of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat?"

Sun Fujia said, "That's right. However, the caves of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat are usually located very deep underground and are not easy to explore."

Lu Zhongtang said, "Brother Sun, since there is feces of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat here, it must be a place where it often appears. We can stake out this place."

Upon hearing this, Duan Rong nodded, agreeing with Lü Zhongtang's assessment.

Sun Fujia shook his head and said, "Even if there is feces, it may not be a place where it usually appears. In the territory of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat, there must be Red Pomegranate Fruit. The place where Red Pomegranate Fruit is is the best place for us to lie in wait. Let's go, let's explore the area again."

The three of them then traversed and explored the dense forest. Sure enough, not far away, they discovered a clump of low, lush bushes. In the bushes grew many fruits the size of a human eye. Some were still unripe and green, but many were bright red and clearly ripe. Sun Fujia said, "These are red pomegranate fruits."

Sure enough, Duan Rong found a lot of Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat feces near the bushes, indicating that this was where the cat often appeared.

At this moment, Sun Fujia flipped his hand and found that he had grabbed three small porcelain bottles. He handed one bottle to Duan Rong and one to Lü Zhongtang.

Lu Zhongtang took the porcelain bottle and couldn't help but ask, "Brother Sun, what is this?"

Sun Fujia said, "This is a liquid with a distinctive smell, made by mixing the mucus of an insect."

"Insect slime?!" Duan Rong was quite knowledgeable about medicine and poison. Upon hearing this, he opened the bottle, took a sniff, and his expression immediately changed because the smell was simply too unpleasant.

Duan Rong asked, "Elder Sun, what is the use of this?"

Sun Fujia said, "That Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat has an extremely sensitive sense of smell, especially for the scent of humans. If we lie in wait nearby, the beast will immediately flee once it smells the scent and senses something is wrong. If we alert it, it will be difficult to catch it again. We need to smear the water made from the insect's slime on our bodies to mask our human scent, so as not to startle the beast."

Upon hearing this, Lü Zhongtang also opened the porcelain bottle, and his expression immediately turned quite unpleasant. He couldn't help but say, "Why does this stuff smell so strong?!"

Sun Fujia said, "If the smell isn't strong, can it mask the human scent on us?"

Lu Zhongtang's eyes flickered, and he felt that Sun Fujia was right.

Then, Duan Rong and Lü Zhongtang followed Sun Fujia's example, applying the water from the porcelain bottle to their armpits and necks, and then sprinkling some on their clothes.

After doing this, they formed a pincer movement, each crouching several feet away from the cluster of red pomegranates.

Duan Rong hid in a large, leafy tree. He released his divine sense, covering an area of ​​several feet around him, including the cluster of red pomegranates where the three of them were guarding.

High-level elemental beasts are unaware of divine sense probing, so their divine sense enveloping the cluster of red pomegranates will not disturb the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat.

Besides keeping an eye on the trail of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat, Duan Rong was also paying attention to other situations around him, including the situation of Lü Zhongtang and Sun Fujia who were lying in wait in the other two directions.

This place is where high-level elemental beasts roam, and there is danger at any time, so we must be very careful.

Especially for Lü Zhongtang, if his father-in-law were to have an accident here, he would have no way to explain it when he returned.

The three of them waited in their respective hiding places for several hours, but they still couldn't find any trace of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat. Sun Fujia and Duan Rong were fine, but Lü Zhongtang was getting impatient. His mind wandered, and he sighed and began to look around.

Just then, a furry creature, about the same size as a Kyushu tanuki, suddenly emerged from a hole in a tall, dead tree not far away.

The moment that "thing" appeared, it was immediately detected by the three people's divine senses.

That thing was clearly the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat. Its body shape and fur color were similar to those of ordinary tanuki in Kyushu, but it had a third eye on its forehead, a vertical pupil that shone with a faint blue light.

The moment his divine sense caught the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat emerging from the hollow of the withered tree, Duan Rong's heart stirred slightly.

That beast was indeed cunning; it dug its way down into the ground from the tree hollow.

The cave entrance was so well hidden that even if they used their divine sense to explore, it would be very difficult to find.

The Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat leaped out of the tree hole and landed lightly. Its eyes were fixed on the cluster of red pomegranates not far away. Its fleshy nose twitched a few times in the air to make sure there was no dangerous smell before it slowly approached the cluster of red pomegranates on its paws with paw pads.

The beast walked up to the bushes, its eyes gleaming with greed as it looked at the bright red fruit on the branches. It bit off a fruit, chewed it, and juice dripped from the corner of its mouth. Then, it tilted its head and bit off another fruit...

The beast was enjoying its meal when it was suddenly startled, its fur bristled, and the berries in its mouth fell to the ground with a splatter...

Because in that instant, three forces of law suddenly emerged around it, forming three walls that corresponded to each other, creating a triangular cone that sandwiched it in the middle.

Duan Rong, Lü Zhongtang, and Sun Fujia immediately darted out, forming a pincer movement, and stood on the outer edge of the Law Wall surrounding the Confused Blue-Eyed Cat.

Startled, the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat let out a shriek and tried to flee, but it was blocked on all sides. Although it unleashed the power of the laws, it still could not break through the law wall formed by Duan Rong and the other two.

The beast was frightened and became agitated. Suddenly, a flash of blue light appeared in the blue pupils on its forehead.

The next moment, a butterfly formed from a blue light suddenly flew out of the blue pupil, fluttering its wings lifelike.

The azure butterfly was a manifestation of divine soul, seemingly unaffected by the walls of laws, and it directly passed through one of the walls of laws, flying towards Lü Zhongtang at an extremely fast speed.

Lu Zhongtang frowned, but the blue light emanating from the fluttering wings of the butterfly made him feel dizzy.

In that moment of bewitching attraction, the blue butterfly was about to fly into Lü Zhongtang's brow.

Just then, a sparse patch of light, like fireflies, suddenly appeared around Lü Zhongtang.

The flickering lights immediately surrounded the blue butterfly.

The blue-light butterfly tried several times to break free, but the numerous, flickering points of light surrounded it, making it difficult for it to fly away...

Just then, Lü Zhongtang suddenly woke up, glancing fearfully at the blue butterfly trapped in a patch of light...

Just a moment ago, he was clearly bewitched by the blue butterfly.

The blue butterfly was surrounded by specks of light, which gradually coalesced into a sphere of light, engulfing the butterfly within.

Lü Zhongtang then turned his head and looked at Duan Rong with gratitude in his eyes.

With his divine sense probing, Sun Fujia also took in the situation here.

It was clearly a group attack from Yinghuo that blocked the attack of the Azure Light Butterfly on Lü Zhongtang.

Sun Fujia looked at Duan Rong diagonally opposite him with a cold expression, but his heart was filled with shock.

"He has condensed a growth-oriented Insightful Mind before the age of twenty-five, and has cultivated the Womb Treasury Scripture to the sixteenth level, enabling him to unleash the evolved form of the group attack, Yinghuo. This child's prodigious talent is truly the only one I have ever seen in my life."

At this moment, the blue butterfly was trapped and killed inside the ball of light formed by specks of light, and a look of despair flashed in the eyes of the bewitching blue-eyed cat.

The three walls of law surrounding it were gradually converging, and the power of law it unleashed was completely unable to stop the convergence of the three walls of law. Before long, it would be squeezed into a lump of mud by the three walls of law.

A few breaths later, drops of blood began to seep from the fur of the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat...

A few breaths later, the Bewitching Blue-Eyed Cat stared at Duan Rong and the others with venomous eyes. Suddenly, it let out a miserable scream and turned into a lump of mud in mid-air. At that instant, a force of law pulled the cat out of the rotten flesh and the blue-eyed cat's pupils were pulled out and flew to Duan Rong's side, where they hovered and spun around.

Duan Rong's eyes flickered slightly, and with a flick of his hand, he took out an open, narrow black jade box. In the wisps of cold air, the blue eye, which was covered with blood and emitted a faint blue color, fell into the black jade box and was instantly covered with a layer of frost.

Duan Ronghe took the black jade box, clasped his hands in thanks, and said, "Many thanks to Elder Sun and my father-in-law for helping me obtain the Azure Eyes of the Bewitching Azure-Eyed Cat!" (End of this chapter)
