The Rebirth of the Cultivation Leader Qin Zhao as a Celebrity
Chapter 115 - 112: Mutant Octopus; Headless Female Corpse

Chapter 115: Chapter 112: Mutant Octopus; Headless Female Corpse

Qin Zhao stepped on the gunwale, her body flying even higher as she dodged the tentacles.

By the way, she also threw an Evil Exorcism Charm onto Chu Yan.

Her Divine Sense pierced through the emerald green water and she spotted a huge, mutated blood-red octopus crouching right underneath the boat, its eyes menacingly fixed on her.

Her dagger, imbued with Spiritual Power, slipped from her hand.

It pierced through the water and embedded itself in the octopus’s head.

The boat shook violently, and a painful scream emanated from beneath the water.

"I’ll go eat it!"

Tengshe emerged from Qin Zhao’s wrist, excitedly declaring.

The octopus was clearly a centuries-old Demon Beast.

Eating it could increase the cultivation within his body and help heal his injuries.

The world of Demon Beasts was brutal like this; it was the norm for the strong to prey on the weak.

After Tengshe dived into the water, an even larger, long black shadow appeared beneath the emerald surface.

The blood-red octopus, wounded, had half its brain bitten off by Tengshe in one gulp, and the rest of its tentacles limply floated on the surface, no longer able to attack Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao sat down on the boat and looked over at Chu Yan.

The black mist the blood-red octopus had released was poisonous, but fortunately, she had thrown the Evil Exorcism Charm to him in time.

The Evil Exorcism Charm stuck to Chu Yan’s shoulder, radiating bursts of golden light that enveloped him.

Qin Zhao smiled at him and said, "I told you I’d protect you."

Chu Yan sat on the boat, his handsome face stern.

He furrowed his brows and asked her, "Do you always do such dangerous things every day?"

"Not dangerous, look under the water."

Qin Zhao pointed at the river surface; the shadows were gone, and peace was restored.

"That monster was easy to deal with."

Chu Yan sighed, wanting to say something, but felt somewhat powerless.

He wanted to advise her not to keep venturing into such dangerous places.

He would worry.

But his combat skills were already top-notch. How could they compare to Qin Zhao’s? She could soar into the sky or skim across water.

So, what right did he have to advise her?

Right now, not being a drag on her was good enough.

The boat continued on its way.

Suddenly, Tengshe’s voice rang in her mind, "Qin Zhao, can I bring the big octopus home?"

Qin Zhao’s mouth twitched, "Bring it home for what?"

"I found out it’s not tasty raw, let Chu Yan make me grilled octopus."

"That octopus is bigger than the boat, and you want him to grill it? How long would that even take!"

Qin Zhao was speechless, "Stop nagging, just eat your fill and come back!"

"Hmph, mean woman!"

Several minutes later, Tengshe shrank and returned to Qin Zhao’s wrist.

"Burp~ I’m stuffed!"

Tengshe yawned, "I’m going to sleep, be careful if you encounter danger!"

He needed to digest the Spiritual Power of the big octopus, and sleeping was the best way.

"You’re going to sleep just like that? Don’t you want the Dragon Horn?"

"Yeah, I do. If I wake up and don’t see a Dragon Horn, I’ll bite you to death!"

Tengshe deliberately growled, threatening Qin Zhao.

Qin Zhao rolled her eyes, an utterly unimposing threat.

"No wonder Lan Xi said that no groom can escape, it turns out there’s a monster below."

Qin Zhao stroked her chin, deep in thought.

"Just now by the shore, I felt something was off under the boat. Does this big octopus guard near the boat every time a groom is delivered? That must be a controlled Demon Beast."

Otherwise, no Demon Beast would be so obedient.

"Just now when I got a bit closer to the boat, I felt something was stopping me from disembarking."

Chu Yan, initially worried about Qin Zhao, tried to reach out to pull her onto the boat.

But he couldn’t stretch out his hand, blocked by an invisible barrier.

"Can’t disembark?"

Qin Zhao was surprised for a moment, and then moved closer to the edge of the boat.

"I can get on and off freely."

Chu Yan tried reaching out again, and the boat’s Barrier became visible.

This Barrier only affected him, the groom, and was useless against anyone else.

"Huh, why is that?"

Qin Zhao stared at Chu Yan for a long time.

Suddenly, she pounced on him, attempting to tear off Chu Yan’s clothes.

"I know now, take off your clothes!"

Chu Yan was pinned down on the deck, his expression startled for a moment.

Then, feeling a bit embarrassed, "Zhaozhao, it’s not quite appropriate to do this on the boat, is it? If you want, we can leave the Gulan Clan and find a hotel..."

"What are you thinking?!"

Qin Zhao flicked his forehead hard, leaving a red mark.

"I think there’s something wrong with your clothes!"

Hearing Qin Zhao’s explanation, Chu Yan touched his forehead.

So that was it.

He had thought that Qin Zhao suddenly craved his body.

A hint of regret flashed through his cold, deep phoenix eyes.

These ancient-style wedding clothes had several layers. Qin Zhao pulled off Chu Yan’s coat, revealing a white inner garment underneath, so there was no issue.

But on the inner layer of the bright red robe, there was a pool of deep red ink.

Dark red markings made up a sinister rune on the robe.

Chu Yan had changed clothes, and Qin Zhao had looked away, so she hadn’t noticed the problem with the clothes.

The women of the Gulan Clan really were meticulous in their thinking.

One thing led to another, ensuring the groom couldn’t escape and was neatly sacrificed.

Qin Zhao destroyed Chu Yan’s wedding attire with her spiritual power, and once he touched the edge of the boat again, the barrier disappeared.

The small boat drifted with the current, and the river gradually narrowed.

They arrived at a dim cave, and gusts of cold wind blew out from within.

The sun was high outside, yet it inexplicably made one’s scalp tingle.

The boat entered the cave, and the cold wind brought a nauseating scent of blood.

"This doesn’t seem like a naturally formed cave."

Chu Yan observed the surroundings and said.

"Yes, it’s man-made."

Just after he finished speaking, a stone gate appeared in front of them.

The boat stopped in front of the stone gate as if it had triggered some kind of switch.

The moment it stopped, the stone gate slowly opened.

Click, clack.

The boat moved again, drifting into the stone gate.

Click, clack.

Not long after entering, the stone gate closed.

The river inside sloped downward, leading to a huge pit.

A heavy scent of blood and decay wafted up, and Qin Zhao saw countless tortured ghosts swirling above the pit, along with a huge mass of blood-red evil spirits.

"Let’s go!"

Qin Zhao grabbed Chu Yan, stepping over the water surface onto the ground beside them.

Within the pit were nothing but stark white bones!

And in the middle of the pit stood a jade stone statue.

It was carved in the figure of a slender woman dressed in ancient attire.

The upper part of the jade was white, but the lower part was blood red.

Red and white intermingled, the red below the jade as if stained with fresh blood.

The woman’s face bore a slight smile; standing amidst the eerie white bones, she appeared particularly sinister and haunting.

"Do you feel the presence of the Dragon Horn?"

Qin Zhao asked the Hellhound and Tengshe.

Tengshe, somewhat more alert, excitedly said, "It’s here!"

Inside the stone chamber ran a river.

The river flowed past the pit toward the statue.

Below the statue was a half-pool of water, floating with numerous bones.

The ground on either side of the river was empty, nothing but smooth stone walls.

Could the Dragon Horn be inside that large pit?

Qin Zhao stood by the pit, her expression contemplative.

Suddenly, she noticed a shadow falling in front of Chu Yan.

The shadow first overlapped with Chu Yan’s, then separated slightly, with sharp claws aiming straight for Chu Yan’s neck, attempting to twist off his head.

Qin Zhao quickly pulled Chu Yan to her side, pinched a spell, and cast it.

With a loud boom, the thing was blasted onto the ground.

She slowly got up from the ground, exuding a stench of decay.

Qin Zhao and Chu Yan took a sharp breath when they saw what it was.

The creature, its body covered in rotting flesh, was barely recognizable as female.

Her nails shone with a green light like the claws of a fierce beast.

There was a large hole in her neck, and she had no head!!
