849: Chapter 849 The Blue-Skinned Man!

The bear cub flicked its tail triumphantly.

That posture!

That look!

It was incredibly smug!

Mo Yuan, who witnessed all of this, was completely dumbfounded.

No...

This is too absurd!

That bear actually roared once and shattered the illusion???

If he hadn't seen it with his own eyes, he would never have believed it...

Breaking an illusion only requires roaring!

Saintess An Miaoyi also felt a trace of shock flash through her eyes.

But before she could speak...

Suddenly!

"Swish!"

"Swish!!"

"Swish!!!"

...

At the top of the tower, dense arrows poured down like rain.

Each arrow was wrapped in a layer of grayish-green True Qi, like a swarm of predatory locusts, blotting out the sky and covering the three of them!

The next second.

The ice in front of the tower was riddled with holes from the arrows.

"Hmm?"

"Actually playing dirty and launching a sneak attack?"

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, reached into his robe with his right hand, pulled out a Talisman, and tossed it above his head.

"Hum!"

The Talisman exploded in mid-air, turning into a visible film of light that covered the three of them along with the bear cub.

The arrows hit the light film; not a single one penetrated it, and instead, they were deflected and shot back in the opposite direction.

For a moment.

They nailed into the tower walls and stone bricks with a clattering sound.

Mo Yuan had instinctively adopted a defensive posture, his expression darkening: "It really is a person! Not a mechanism! Someone is shooting at us from inside the tower!"

Ye Chen and Saintess An Miaoyi both looked up.

But they saw...

A figure flashed past the window.

The most bizarre thing was that it actually had blue skin.

"Hmm?"

Ye Chen's expression changed, and he was just about to speak...

Suddenly!

The second wave of arrows poured out from the window at the top of the tower.

This time, it was denser and faster.

Ye Chen casually tossed out another Talisman.

The same light film expanded again; the arrows hit it like an iron wall, clanging as they scattered.

But this time, Ye Chen didn't stay where he was waiting to see the result.

The moment the light film formed, he tapped his toes hard against the ground and shot up, like an elongated shadow, heading straight for the window at the top of the tower.

Mo Yuan was so shocked by this that he opened his mouth: "You f*cking..."

Before he could finish his sentence.

Ye Chen was already clinging to the outer wall of the tower like a gecko, his palm gripping the windowsill, and with a flip, he slipped inside silently.

It was much dimmer inside the tower than outside.

Light slanted in through the window, and the air was filled with a musty odor.

Ye Chen stood by the window, his gaze quickly scanning the surroundings.

This was a stone room.

The four walls were rough, and the surface was carved with patterns similar to the ancient markings outside the tower.

In the corner, there were several bundles of decayed arrows.

Directly opposite the stone room was a narrow stone door, with a faint light leaking through the crack.

Ye Chen didn't hesitate; he walked quickly to the stone door and pushed it gently.

The stone door opened in response.

Behind the door was a spiral stone staircase extending downwards, and Ye Chen immediately noticed fresh footprints on the steps.

"There really is someone!"

Ye Chen lifted his foot and walked down along the stone stairs.

Soon.

He stepped into a hall, and in the center of the hall, a bonfire was lit.

But none of that mattered.

What was important was...

In the shadows opposite the bonfire, a person was crouching.

No...

To be precise, it was a "person" with a completely blue body.

He was crouching on the ground, his arms hugging his knees, his back arched into a tense curve.

Coincidentally...

The other party's eyes were staring fixedly at Ye Chen.

Their eyes met.

The air was silent for about three breaths.

Ye Chen spoke first: "Hello?"

The Blue-skinned people did not answer.

Ye Chen tried another phrase: "Hello!"

The Blue-skinned people still didn't answer.

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow: "Konnichiwa!"

The Blue-skinned people still didn't answer.

Ye Chen was confused.

Could he be deaf?

Just as Ye Chen was wondering whether to try another language, footsteps suddenly came from behind him.

Saintess An Miaoyi and Mo Yuan rushed down from the spiral stone staircase.

Saintess An Miaoyi saw the figure at first glance.

Mo Yuan was even more bewildered: "What is that?!"

The moment he spoke, it was like throwing a match into a powder keg.

The Blue-skinned people acted like a beast, on all fours, its back arched into a tense curve.

Immediately after.

It lunged straight at Ye Chen's face!

Ye Chen raised an eyebrow, opened his hand with fingers spread, and grabbed at the incoming shadow.

"Snap!"

A crisp sound.

The Blue-skinned people's wrist was caught by Ye Chen, and its forward momentum came to an abrupt halt.

Ye Chen used the momentum to fling it, like throwing a bag of trash, slamming the Blue-skinned people against the opposite stone wall.

"Bang!!!"

The Blue-skinned people's back hit the stone wall, creating spiderweb-like cracks.

It let out a muffled groan, slid to the ground, struggled to prop up its upper body, and glared at Ye Chen, letting out an angry roar.

"Gulu lu... Ka ka... Roar!!!"

Can't understand!

Can't understand it at all!

Mo Yuan was completely confused: "What is he saying? What the hell kind of bird language is this?"

Saintess An Miaoyi also furrowed her delicate brows.

She considered herself well-versed in ancient languages, but she couldn't understand a single word of this person's pronunciation and tone.

Only Ye Chen couldn't help but narrow his eyes.

This language...

Was a language from the Houtu Inheritance that had long been lost.

He took a deep breath: "He is speaking an ancient language!"

Saintess An Miaoyi looked at Ye Chen in shock.

"You... you understand it?"

Ye Chen didn't answer, but instead said something to the Blue-skinned people with equally strange syllables.

"I understand what you are saying!" The Blue-skinned people's expression changed.

Ye Chen replied in the ancient language: "I understand. Why did you attack us?"

Upon hearing this, the expression on the Blue-skinned people's face suddenly turned furious.

"You trespassed here! You broke the barrier! That evil thing is coming!"

"It smelled the scent of living people! You brought it here!!!"

Ye Chen frowned slightly and asked: "What is that evil thing?"

The Blue-skinned people roared angrily.

"It... it lives in every corner of this world."

"It can appear at any time!"

"You are the sinners!"

"Because the barrier was meant to trap it, you shattered the barrier, and it is about to wake up..."

After listening, Ye Chen turned to look at Saintess An Miaoyi and Mo Yuan.

Mo Yuan was staring at him, his face full of confusion: "What is he saying? Translate it for us!"

Ye Chen calmly translated it for the two of them.

The next moment.

Mo Yuan's expression changed drastically: "What is that thing?"

Ye Chen ignored him completely and continued to talk to the Blue-skinned people in the ancient language.

"You only say it is going to wake up, what exactly is it?"

The Blue-skinned people huddled at the base of the wall, its eyes full of fear: "It is... the Evil God."

"Evil God?" Ye Chen raised an eyebrow.

"That's right!"

"The people in this city were all slaughtered by it, only a few people are left!"

The Blue-skinned people became more and more agitated as it spoke.

"We worked so hard to use the outer barrier to isolate our aura so it couldn't see us!"

"But your appearance ruined everything!"

After listening, Ye Chen rolled his eyes on the spot.

"What kind of bullshit Evil God, I'm a Heavenly God myself!"

Whether there are gods in this world, Ye Chen didn't know.

But what Ye Chen did know was...

If there really was a so-called Evil God in this world, how could it be trapped here?

Seeing Ye Chen's expression, Saintess An Miaoyi was just about to ask what was going on.

As a result...

"Boom!!!"

The whole tower shook violently.

The stone bricks crumbled.

Dust and gravel from the dome poured down.

The ground under Ye Chen's feet cracked, a finger-wide gap spreading to both sides.

Immediately after.

A sound of collapse came from outside the tower, followed by a deafening roar.

"Another blizzard?!"

Mo Yuan's expression changed.

The next moment.

A gust of air rushed into the gap outside the tower door.

The airflow, like a living thing, poured in through the door crack, rolling and spreading along the ground; wherever it passed, a layer of grayish-white frost formed on the stone bricks.

The Blue-skinned people had completely collapsed.

"It is here!"

Ye Chen felt the chill and said directly: "Let's go out and see."

The three of them took the opportunity to head up and dash out of the tower.

However.

Just after rushing out of the tower door, the scene before him made Mo Yuan's pupils shrink.

The world between heaven and earth had been completely swallowed by the blizzard.

All scenery was swallowed by the storm.

The most absurd thing was...

The snowflakes hitting his face actually stung.

Mo Yuan subconsciously activated his True Qi, condensing a layer of protective Qi on his body surface.

But the next second, his expression changed.

Those snowflakes actually ignored his True Qi, directly penetrating the surface of his protective Qi and landing around his body.

So much so that.

Around Mo Yuan's body, a layer of frost began to form rapidly.

"What... what is this hellish thing? My True Qi can't block it!"

Mo Yuan reached out to brush it off; the frost was shattered, but more snowflakes immediately covered it again.

He could even feel...

That chill was seeping into his meridians, and the speed of his True Qi circulation was noticeably sluggish.

Saintess An Miaoyi also noticed the anomaly.

She tried to use True Qi to dispel the chill, but found that it had almost no effect.

Her pretty face darkened.

"This is not an ordinary blizzard!"

"The snowflakes are mixed with strange energy, which can erode protective True Qi!"
