The Game with Fairies-Chapter 337

The noisy voices continued unabated in the hall.

The Mother Buddha, who looked exactly like Chu Qingxue, sat in front of the statue with her hands clasped together, shaking her head indifferently.

“This Ascender is not easy to consume.”

She looked in the direction where Li Muyang had left, expressionless.

“When your two sisters died at his hands, they encountered a terrifying kind of lightning…”

As she spoke, the originally indifferent Mother Buddha’s face showed a gentle smile again.

Although she had the face of a young girl, she now appeared as kind as an elderly woman.

“Let mother wait a little longer and see if there’s an opportunity.”

“But even if we can’t consume the Ascender, if he can help us catch the Heart-Eating Worms, that would be very good… hehe…”

The Mother Buddha smiled and slowly closed her eyes.

As she did so, the oil lamp beside her gradually extinguished.

The entire Mother Buddha Temple was plunged into complete darkness, devoid of any light.

And after the light went out, the woman sitting in the hall also became lifeless, sitting stiffly as if she had become a dead body.

After a long silence, the voices of excited women suddenly came from under the Mother Buddha’s dark robe.

“Mother has fallen asleep…”

“Great! Mother has fallen asleep again!”

“Let’s go, let’s go out and play!”

Amidst the excited and joyful noise, the still robe in front of the statue began to rustle.

In the darkness, it seemed as if countless tentacles were crawling on the floor.

Soon, those fine rustling sounds left the dark hall and spread out like a plague, escaping in all directions…

……

The bright white Flood Dragon flew swiftly through the night sky.

Dragon Maiden was very curious.

“Li Muyang, are we just going to run errands for your mother-in-law? Aren’t you going to snatch the White Bone Tai Sui anymore?”

Dragon Maiden was puzzled by Li Muyang’s abrupt departure.

She didn’t believe Li Muyang would really treat that sinister old woman as his own mother-in-law.

Li Muyang left so decisively, which was not his usual style of doing things.

Flood Dragon swiftly flew through the night sky, enveloped in clouds and mist, while Li Muyang, bathed in the cold moonlight of the night sky, shook his head indifferently.

“It’s not easy to snatch…”

Seeing the Dragon Maiden’s confusion, he briefly explained Master Qingye’s strength and cultivation level.

Master Qingye was definitely the pinnacle of combat power in this world.

But even Master Qingye could only snatch away the body of the Liuli Immortal Sword.

The scabbard remained at the Mother Buddha Temple…

After Li Muyang explained this, the Dragon Maiden was shocked.

“Ah? That gloomy old woman is that terrifying? Can’t even the heavenly thunder do anything to her?”

The evil enemies they had encountered in the past were not very strong, and those who were a bit stronger could be instantly killed by heavenly thunder.

But Li Muyang shook his head: “Although heavenly thunder is strong, it’s not certain that it can kill this Mother Buddha.”

Looking at the mountain covered in maple leaves now within sight, Li Muyang quickly descended from the clouds and transformed into human form at the foot of the mountain.

“Let’s first catch some Heart-Eating Worms to exchange for Seven Marrow Pills to prolong our life.”

“After all, both White Bone Tai Sui and Mother Buddha Temple are there. There’s still time to snatch them later.”

Li Muyang suspected that the evil beings in the Mother Buddha Temple went mad at the sight of him, an Ascender, perhaps because they feared his heavenly thunder.

That Mother Buddha could see everything that happened to Chu Qingxue thousands of li away clearly.

She couldn’t have missed the death of the two evil women she sent at Li Muyang’s hands.

The power of heavenly thunder was mysterious.

It killed enemies with a single strike regardless of their strength or weakness.

But Li Muyang was also unsure of the upper limit of the heavenly thunder’s power and whether it could kill a big boss like the Mother Buddha.

And the Mother Buddha, perhaps also wary of Li Muyang’s heavenly thunder, had brought out the White Bone Tai Sui to coax Li Muyang into doing her bidding.

This was both a probe and a way to keep the peace, akin to paying protection money to a thug who comes knocking.

The existence of heavenly thunder maintained a fragile peace between Li Muyang and the Mother Buddha Temple.

Considering that the other party had Seven Marrow Pills that could prolong life, Li Muyang was not planning to break this balance for the time being.

If a real fight broke out and the heavenly thunder was useful, that would be fine… but what if the heavenly thunder couldn’t harm the Mother Buddha?

In any case, first catch the Heart-Eating Worms to exchange for Seven Marrow Pills to prolong life!

Benefits that can be obtained are the real deal.

Li Muyang searched the mountain covered with maple trees for a while and soon found the underground pit described by the Mother Buddha.

At a position halfway up the mountain, there was a huge pit with smooth, vertical rock walls that seemed to lead straight to the netherworld, pitch-black and bottomless.

Li Muyang stood by the pit, looking down into the dark hole, feeling a cold chill constantly seeping out.

Dragon Maiden, filled with trepidation, said, “…What does this lead to? It feels so terrifying, like the gaping maw of a monster. We won’t get eaten if we go in, will we?”

Li Muyang kicked a huge rock down the pit.

The rock plunged into the darkness of the pit and quickly disappeared into the shadows.

However, after the rock fell, there was no sound of it hitting the bottom for a long time.

Dragon Maiden was astonished: “Was the stone really eaten?”

Li Muyang took a deep breath and leapt directly into the dark pit.

“Perhaps this pit is deeper than we imagined.”

For some reason, as he stood at the edge of the pit, inhaling the cold air, he felt a sense of familiarity and comfort.

It was as if… he had come home?

How strange.

Why did such a peculiar pit give him a sense of familiarity and comfort?

Li Muyang plunged into the pit, his body continuously falling.

His vision quickly turned pitch black, unable to see anything around him.

But Flood Dragon’s powerful vision still allowed him to see in the darkness.

This huge underground pit was incredibly deep. The moonlight at the top was initially a circular exit, but as he fell further and further, the light from the opening became smaller and smaller.

Eventually, the light from the entrance shrank to the size of a grain of rice, almost invisible.

And Li Muyang finally saw the grey mist mentioned by the Mother Buddha.

In this dark underground world, there floated a grey mist.

This mist seemed to have some buoyancy, and Li Muyang, within it, could move up and down as if he were in water.

Here, the sense of familiarity and comfort was even stronger.

The air was filled with a familiar cold and evil aura.

This aura was very similar to the Flesh and Bone Green Garment and Granny Gu from the Black Cloud Village.

Li Muyang was quite surprised—could this be a branch of the Black Cloud Village?

At that moment, the grey mist surged, and a violent and strong evil aura appeared in Li Muyang’s perception.

It seemed to be a massive creature moving through the grey mist.

As it approached, Li Muyang vaguely heard sharp and piercing wails.

It was as if countless resentful spirits were wailing mournfully.

When the grey mist dispersed, a ten-zhang-tall giant shadow emerged from it.

Its body was covered with many giant blue-haired caterpillars, which looked incredibly creepy.

But even more terrifying was the appearance of the shadow.

It wore the old black-grey robes of the Black Cloud Village. Its face was pale and expressionless, and its eye sockets were sunken, leaving only two dark holes.

A huge red health bar floated above its head.

【Mad Ancient Evil Cultivator】

—Li Muyang actually recognized this ten-zhang-tall giant shadow!
