Chapter 528: Chapter 340. Hands, Feet, Waist, Eyes, Skull (4000 words)

The sky outside remained overcast, evoking an oppressively gloomy sensation.

Within this spiritual realm, the sky did not change, but as night approached, Beichuan Si noticed something amiss in the air.

Beichuan Si silently gazed out of the building.

In his line of sight, island spirits with cracked skin on their limbs bore withered branches on their faces, a sight so terrifying and eerie that even Beichuan Si couldn’t help but raise an eyebrow.

Just as Ihui Nai Luo had said, when night fell, the spirits would unconsciously spread out.

In addition to these ordinary spirits, there were also spirits that couldn’t even maintain a human form.

These spirits were entirely composed of pinkish tumors, with deformed eyeballs hanging above the tumors, and emitting a stench of decay that was unmistakable even from a distance of about forty to fifty meters.

"That is the essence of desolation," Beichuan Si muttered to himself.

They belonged to the Yellow Springs.

To see them is to invite misfortune.

Therefore, they boded ill...

These were records Beichuan Si had seen in ancient tomes.

According to the records, the foul odor emanating from the tumors could weaken a normal person’s body, and hence these malignant beings were also referred to as ominous entities.

Of course, their usefulness wasn’t limited to the stink they naturally carried.

Beichuan Si focused his gaze.

Under his scrutiny, the tumors suddenly split open in the middle, revealing densely packed and sharp teeth.

The sight of the terrifying maws and cold, gleaming teeth sent shivers down one’s spine.

No wonder the ancient texts also mentioned that these malevolent entities could consume the living, and that upon sighting them, one must avoid at all costs.

One bite would suffice for a regular person to be chewed up, resulting in flesh scattered, limbs torn, and blood splattered.

As Beichuan Si pondered, a voice came from behind him:

"Half of the island’s inhabitants were devoured by these things."

Beichuan Si turned in the direction of the voice.

There stood a woman entwined in pale golden energy flows, dressed in a white hunting outfit behind Beichuan Si.

It was Ihui Nai Luo.

Her gaze did not linger on Beichuan Si; instead, it swept past him and rested deeply on the writhing tumors below.

Her usually serene tone carried a hint of sorrow as she looked at the revolting, squirming tumors and spoke word for word: "These abominations do not belong to this world. They are not only a threat to the living but also possess enough lethality to afflict the celestial beings on the island..."

When Ihui Nai Luo reached this point, her tone wavered slightly but did not continue.

No matter.

Ihui Nai Luo clenched her fists inconspicuously.

It does not matter.

As long as she succeeded this time... it would definitely not matter.

Ihui Nai Luo’s gaze turned profound, and from those cryptic depths, a flash of madness swiftly and surreptitiously darted across.

"It’s about time to rest now, Beichuan Master, tomorrow we will enter the Shrine directly."

"I know," Beichuan Si responded.

Today, Beichuan Si and his group had traveled a long way from the other side of the island to this one, encountering many vengeful spirits along the way, draining even Beichuan Si whose death energy limit had already exceeded two hundred points.

After all, this time they were accompanied by Ihui Guangjiu and Ihui Ju Xu, and due to their physical strength, their pace had slowed considerably.

If Beichuan Si had been alone, the journey of over eight hours could have been completed in just over two.

At this moment, Beichuan Si and his companions were staying in a two-story Japanese-style building not far from Izumi Shrine.

As Ihui Nai Luo said, the closer they were to Izumi Shrine, the fewer the abominations and spirits were, and even if stray spirits wandered in, they would leave quickly, as if there was something here they feared.

"Is it really... that thing? Beichuan."

At this time, Shenzhu Shihui, who had not shown herself before, floated out.

She stretched out a finger, pointing into the distance toward Izumi Shrine.

More accurately, she was not pointing at the Shrine itself but at the giant tree within.

For that tree was so conspicuous that it was almost impossible to remove it from one’s view.

This was not to say that the tree was particularly tall in its entirety, but rather because of its extravagantly large crown.

A simple estimate would reveal that the crown of this tree twisted and sprawled, covering an area of about fifty to sixty meters in diameter.

This was the Sacred Tree of the Ihui Island residents, hidden within the spiritual realm... the Divine Tree.

However, the Divine Tree now appeared shriveled, and its crown scarcely held a few leaves, a state of extreme decay that made one doubt whether the tree had completely perished.

Yet, under Beichuan Si’s vision, the Divine Tree shone with a faint luminescence.

"It must be because of that," Beichuan Si said while tearing into jerky, chewing and continuing, "The Divine Tree must also possess some powers we are not yet aware of... But more than that, I want to know if you have completed the task I gave you?"

Hearing Beichuan Si’s words, Shenzhu Shihui also confidently patted her chest, stammering slightly, "No prob...lem, my results will definitely surprise you."

"That’s good to hear," Beichuan Si was barely reassured.

If Shenzhu Shihui dared to come out for a chat without having completed the task he had assigned, Beichuan Si would show no mercy.
