Invincible Immortal Cultivator in the City

Chapter 432: Chapter 431: Something Wicked

The vast wilderness was originally void of anything.

But now, Lin Hao’s perception expanded, and the ten miles ahead were all in his mind.

If the path they had previously taken was a lifeless dead zone, so desolate that not even birds or insects were present, then now, the current ten-mile stretch ahead was brimming with life, a paradise where spring had come to all things.

Birds and beasts of all kinds were scattered across these ten miles, and even further afield, some moving leisurely, others in a hurry.

Lions, tigers, eagles, vultures, jackals, and sheep - familiar ones recognized by Lin Hao mingled with many bizarre and weirdly shaped creatures that Lin Hao could not name, all spread out in the wilderness.

But, strangely enough, lions lay down peacefully with sheep, and little chicks snuggled up to fierce tigers without issue!

What a joyful, harmonious scene of all creatures living in harmony.

"Stop them!"

No, this is definitely not right; everything before me is too strange. I fear that behind this, there lurks an even more dangerous presence, unknown and hiding somewhere.

Lin Hao even felt that, as if out of nowhere, countless eyes had suddenly gathered on him!

The feeling of being watched by thousands of eyes was extremely uncomfortable.

In that moment, Lin Hao dared not be careless. With just a shout to Mo Changfeng, he became fully guarded.

In fact, there was no need for Lin Hao to shout. Mo Changfeng needed no reminders of what long-haired, lion-pelt people were. He sensed something very wrong with this place. Despite his unbearable hunger, he forced himself to keep going, chasing after Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei.

However, at this moment, Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei looked like wild beasts, their eyes blood-red. Amid their roaring, they had already rushed up to a lion and with a swift rise and fall of a blade, decapitated the lion that stood there dumbstruck.

"Crack!"

In an instant, blood spurted wildly, and a lion’s head hit the ground.

The scent of blood immediately spread through the air.

"Eat!"

Mo Changlei acted the fastest, immediately embracing the lion’s body, his mouth latching onto the bleeding neck of the lion, guzzling the blood. Mo Changchun, though a woman, was no different from a wild beast at this moment. With no neck blood to drink, her waist knife flashed, peeling off a patch of skin and fur from the lion’s back. She then, without any hesitation, embraced the lion’s body and took a vicious bite.

To consume the flesh and blood of a lion raw - this was something neither of them had ever imagined they would do in their lives, but today...

"You... you two are insane!!!" Mo Changfeng had caught up, but it was too late to stop them. He could only witness Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei holding the lion and feasting voraciously.

In the blink of an eye, it was horrific to see - the blood at the lion’s neck had dried up, and its back was bitten into a large hole. Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei, covered in blood, still couldn’t satisfy their hunger and continued gnawing away.

Mo Changfeng was dumbfounded, unable to believe that his brother and sister could do such a thing.

Even an idiot would know this was not normal. How could... Mo Changfeng’s brows knotted tightly as he felt anxious, even forgetting the hunger in his own belly.

"Don’t eat! Don’t eat!!"

This was definitely not good. Mo Changfeng rushed forward, kicking Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei away from the lion, howling like a mad beast.

"Have you two gone mad?! Start circulating your Primordial Qi to resist!" In a booming shout, Mo Changfeng set aside all concerns. His storage ring glowed, instantly refining a Primordial Stone. The power of Primordial Qi vibrated with his roar and spread out, like a thunderbolt on a clear day that exploded in the minds of Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei.

"This..."

It took Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei quite some time to recover their senses, their faces retreating from the beast-like transformations. Staring at the lion corpse that had been nibbled beyond recognition, they were overcome with shock and horror. It was then that they recalled what had just happened.

"I... we... ugh..."

Mo Changchun was the most distressed. At this moment, as their bestial instincts dissipated from their bodies, reason reclaimed the throne of their minds. The thought that they had just consumed a lion raw like wild beasts made Mo Changchun unable to finish his sentence before he bent over and began to retch, as if he wanted to vomit out every piece of lion meat he had eaten.

"How could this happen, how could this happen, were we... were we possessed just now?!" Mo Changlei was no longer hungry, but the sight of the dead lion in front of him, coupled with the memory of what had occurred, filled him once more with terror, sweat beading up on his forehead.

This time, it was induced by sheer fright.

Everyone knows that each step on Resurrection Island is filled with danger, and the Great Secret Realm contains even more peril. There could only be one explanation for what had just happened: they were under some spell!

Mo Changfeng gasped heavily, looking back and forth between Mo Changchun and Mo Changlei, his teeth nearly grinding to dust.

He gripped his Treasure Sword even tighter.

"We... we can’t possibly turn into zombies, right? This... I’ve seen this in Eagle’s zombie movies... this..."

"Stop talking!"

Mo Changlei’s speech was cut short by Mo Changchun.

Mo Changchun was truly scared. A Martial Practitioner like himself had done such a thing...

"If I really turn into a zombie... brother... you must kill me immediately! I, Mo Changlei, would rather die than become a zombie!!"

His eyes reddening, Mo Changlei rushed to Mo Changfeng’s side, speaking with firm resolve.

Zombies?

Were there truly zombies here? Mo Changfeng’s heart raced as he looked at his younger brother and sister, clutching the handle of his sword, his eyes rimmed in red, yet the feeling of hunger in his stomach did not subside and was gradually getting worse.

"Big brother, what... what’s going on?!" Mo Changfeng didn’t know what to do, having never encountered such a situation before. If there were an enemy, he would face it in a battle to the death; victory or defeat would be a clear-cut outcome.

But now, not even the shadow of an enemy was in sight.

He could only turn back to look at Lin Hao.

Standing on the grassland, Lin Hao, who had been on guard for a long while, hadn’t detected any danger, not even any other anomalies. Aside from these strangely docile wild beasts and birds, the world seemed devoid of other life.

Danger?

A flash of light sparked in Lin Hao’s eyes as he looked at Mo Changfeng: "Do you know your way around here?"

"I do, previously, not far ahead, there was a Teleportation Stone to leave this Great Secret Realm." Mo Changfeng promptly replied.

"Then, have incidents like this been reported before?" Lin Hao followed up.

...

Contemplating for a moment, Mo Changfeng shook his head: "Never, I have never heard of such a thing, do you think we..."

Before he could finish, Lin Hao suddenly raised his hand, stopping Mo Changfeng mid-sentence, and turned his gaze towards the vast grassland ahead. With his energy sinking into his Dantian, filled with Primordial Qi, he shouted: "Come out! What master has set up this place as their domain, please show yourself. Playing tricks and posing as gods or ghosts is not the act of a hero."
