Eating bizarre things in public upgrades my status; the Special Affairs Bureau wants me to join them

Without mentioning the astonishment of others.

After deceiving the indigenous people, He Li pulled Yu Ji and the others aside to discuss leaving.

People still need to stay in this settlement.

Those who remained had to wait for the wizard.

Perhaps they would need to negotiate with the other party. After much thought, He Li decided to keep Yu Qingge and Mu Lan, as they both had enough combat power to deal with all sorts of unexpected situations.

Regarding those wizards...

They knew a little about it, and leaving them to wait for that wizard was the best option.

Yu Qingge didn't care about this.

Mu Lan didn't refuse, but when she heard that He Li had set off overnight to a snake-people settlement, she frowned: "After you left, I asked the natives some questions."

"According to them, in this era, besides humans, there are also demons and a small number of other supernatural beings."

"And they are not exactly friendly to humans."

"The snake-people settlement you visited belongs to the demon race."

"Not to mention the dangers encountered along the way..."

"Even if we get there, it will be very difficult to come into contact with any statues related to Nuwa or even communicate with Nuwa. There is also the possibility of encountering danger and paying the price with our lives."

"Even if you absolutely have to go, in my opinion, it's best to wait until everything is ready during the day before setting off!"

As she spoke, He Li shook her head.

"Our situation is complicated. We don't know when we will be discovered by the True Lord of the Sun and Moon of this era and forcibly sent back to our era by his power."

"Or perhaps during this time, we'll be discovered and hunted down by other powerful beings who have transmigrated to this era..."

"Anyway, if you really encounter these things..."

"We don't have time to do anything else."

"So before these things happen, it's best to hurry up and get everything we need to do done, so that we won't be in a rush if something unexpected happens."

At this point, he countered with a question to Mu Lan: "I understand what you mean by the demon race."

"And what is that strange thing?"

He Li was somewhat puzzled.

Because he had never heard of anything called supernatural beings.

Mu Lan shook her head and replied, "Alright, whatever you do, just be careful then."

"As for the supernatural? According to the indigenous people, it refers to a small group of highly intelligent beings who are between the demon race and the human race, and are born different from ordinary creatures."

"The number of supernatural beings is not that large."

"According to the indigenous people, they have only seen strange things once or twice in all these years."

"However..." Mu Lan paused slightly.

Jiang Hongxian, standing beside him, pressed, "But what?"

"However, I've discovered..." Mu Lan said seriously, "I've discovered that this so-called eerie phenomenon is very likely similar to those legendary sages whose existence is shrouded in mystery."

"For example... premature death!"

Mu Lan uttered two words.

Xing Yao, also known as Xing Tian, ​​is a new name given to him by people in later generations.

His real name is Xing Yao.

He Li knew a little about this powerful figure, especially since he often saw him in online novels. However, in the novels, Xing Tian was usually classified as a member of the Wu clan.

But in reality, in the ancient times of this world...

There is no such thing as a witch clan.

Only the demon race, the human race, and other beings that may or may not possess higher intelligence.

People like Xing Yao belong to a very small number of special demonic species that possess advanced intelligence, and these demonic beings are born with special abilities, making them naturally very powerful in combat.

How could Xing Yao, headless, still survive...?

This is the most obvious example.

When He Li learned of this information, he was surprised, but also somewhat curious.

Because in the information he obtained in later generations, there was almost no mention of demonic beings like Xing Tian; at most, Xing Tian was mentioned in myths and legends of the lower realms.

Anyway, in the records related to Qi cultivators...

There are no records of any supernatural species.

This made He Li somewhat suspicious, wondering if the supernatural beings had become extinct after the separation of heaven and earth.

Or perhaps... they've left!

"It's eerie, what if we encounter it later?"

"Perhaps we could try making contact."

He Li pondered before speaking.

Upon hearing this, Yu Qingge frowned: "Whether it's the demon race or any other kind of monster, they're not exactly friendly to humans."

"Especially since demons are naturally powerful, and there are even extremely strong individuals like Xing Yao, in this situation, you'd rather run away than make contact with them?"

"We must make contact!" He Li shrugged.

Then he said, "It is highly suspicious that there is almost no information about supernatural phenomena in later generations."

"Although I've considered the possibility that the demons might have been wiped out by a coalition of other races before the separation of heaven and earth, I'm more inclined to believe my other theory..."

"What guess?" Yu Qingge pressed.

He Li paused for a moment before responding...

"They may have left!"

"I have reason to suspect that the demonic species may have collectively left the lower realm, where resources and spiritual energy were gradually being depleted, through some means before the severing of the connection between heaven and earth."

"But they didn't go to the Middle Realm or the Upper Realm; they may have gone to a place we don't know about."

"We need to get to the bottom of this."

"Since the supernatural beings actually did that, it means they definitely know many secrets of the world."

"Otherwise, they wouldn't have left."

"And they left so decisively!"

"It's possible..." He Li narrowed his eyes, "that the collective departure of the demons attracted the attention of other top-tier experts, which triggered the ascension of all living beings."

Hearing He Li say this, the others nodded.

"Hearing you say that..."

"The supernatural group is indeed quite strange."

Jiang Hongxian agreed, and He Li said, "In short, we'll talk about the supernatural phenomena once we see them."

"Let's stick to the plan..."

After a brief discussion of these matters, we finally chatted with Mu Lan and Yu Qingge about what questions they should ask if the wizard appeared, as well as other things to be aware of...

He Li then prepared to set off.

As Feng Lizhui had previously stated, the snake-people settlement was 800 li away from the rift valley where Feng Lizhui was located.

If we also consider the distance to their settlement...

That's over a thousand miles.

Although a thousand miles isn't too far, He Li's strength has severely declined, so even if he relies on his spiritual sense to carry everyone, it will still take quite a long time to arrive.

Moreover, we don't know if we'll encounter any other delays along the way.

He Li needs to hurry.

However, to everyone's surprise, just as He Li and his group finished packing and explained things to the indigenous people of the settlement, and were about to set off, a strange phenomenon suddenly appeared in the sky...

Boom!!!

Suddenly, the pitch-black night sky was filled with the sound of thunder and a blinding flash of lightning.

The lightning illuminated the world in an instant, making it clear and allowing everyone to see the countless evil aggregates and other creatures twisting in the dark night sky...

Yes, remove the aggregate of evil thoughts...

There are other creatures in the sky.

He Li personally witnessed a white dragon and a blue dragon moving in the dark clouds.

The two dragons were surrounded by lightning, which kept the surrounding evil forces at a distance, neither attacking nor retreating.

Clearly, for a collection of evil thoughts, the dragon's lightning also possesses positive power.

Just comparing it to the flames of the Fire Ancestor...

This positive force is still much weaker.

Therefore, the lightning of the two dragons could only slightly deter the surrounding evil entities, but had no way to drive them away or kill them.

However, due to the weakness of the direct force of lightning, the aggregate of evil spirits refused to leave...

The two dragons were also finding it difficult to move forward.

Left with no other choice, they had to unleash their power to summon thunder to illuminate the surroundings while simultaneously conjuring wind and rain...

Whoosh!!!

As the wind howled and the flames flickered, cold raindrops began to fall from the sky onto the settlement, causing the flames that should have been burning brightly to weaken.

This immediately caused panic among the indigenous people.

He Li couldn't help but frown.

Jiang Hongxian, standing nearby, shook his head: "This is troublesome!"

"Judging from the intentions of these two dragons, they probably plan to use a large amount of water energy combined with lightning to launch a wide-ranging attack, dispel the surrounding evil spirits, and then leave."

"But if they do this, they'll extinguish the fires in the settlements below, and those indigenous people will be in big trouble."

"What should we do? Should we...?"

Jiang Hongxian's eyes turned cold as he finished speaking.

Clearly, she intended to attack the two dragons.

After all, if these two dragons are allowed to do this...

Not only will their communities suffer, but their journeys will also be disrupted.

He Li, upon hearing this, did not intend to be polite.

"They're not unable to walk."

"It's just difficult to walk. Even if it rains, can't we go to some other deserted place? Doing this kind of thing here... Since they're looking for trouble, then we don't need to be polite."

Having said that, the flames in He Li's hand blazed brightly...
