Chapter 2401 Big Eyed Monster
Shangguan Biao was still working as a handyman at Duzhishan.
Shangguan Biao was unaware of his inner thoughts, nor did he know that he had just escaped a deadly disaster. After taking the large urn, he opened the lid and poured the fresh demon blood inside into the pit.
The clear water in the pit turned red instantly.
After waiting for about ten breaths, the blood gradually cleared up and returned to its colorless and transparent state.
Clearly, the demon blood was absorbed by the lotus.
A gust of wind came, and two pearl-like dewdrops suddenly fell from the petals, landing perfectly on the lotus leaves below.
The dew condenses and does not disperse, carrying a faint golden light, and has a refreshing fragrance when smelled up close.
Shangguan Biao leaned closer, took a deep breath, and a look of rapture appeared on his face. Then he took out a jade bottle and gently collected the two drops of dew.
Immortal Mingke deliberately asked, "Feeding this golden lotus doesn't seem difficult, so why insist on having you do it?"
It's just pouring the blood from the jar into a puddle; anyone with hands can do that.
Shangguan Biao glanced at him: "It won't eat what you're feeding it."
This golden lotus was a precious plant that his family had raised. It was very intelligent and only wanted to stay with its former owner.
He showed little interest in the people in front of him, neither warm nor cold, a stark contrast to his earlier behavior towards Senior Brother Xu and the others.
He Lingchuan also saw weariness and numbness in his eyes.
People who are mentally exhausted often don't want to talk.
Shangguan Biao began to dismiss them: "Your mission is complete, now go. I have other matters to attend to."
He Lingchuan suddenly said, "The ground is shaking violently. Something is getting closer and closer. And it's huge."
Upon hearing this, Shangguan Biao abruptly looked up at him, his eyes filled with surprise, and his voice rose several octaves:
"Can you feel it?"
“Yes. It’s not far from us.” He Lingchuan pointed to the water and added, “Look, the water is trembling.”
"Yes, yes!" Shangguan Biao, his previous indifference gone, nodded repeatedly. "It's here! You can see it too, not just me, not just me!"
Immortal Mingke remained outwardly calm, but inwardly he was muttering to himself.
What on earth is it that has made Shangguan Biao so incoherent?
Shangguan Biao seemed to remember something, his face showing anxiety: "You can see it, so it can harm you! Come with me!"
He rushed to the door of a room in the last row.
The two exchanged a glance. A trap?
"What are you standing there for?" Shangguan Biao stood at the door, looking anxious. "Hurry up!"
The last two words were shouted in a low voice, as if afraid of disturbing something.
He Lingchuan knew this man's anxiety was justified, because in his perception, the object was almost at the ravine. Clearly, Shangguan Biao could also sense it and knew what it was.
"Let's go." He Lingchuan called out to Ming Ke Xianren, then rushed over and followed him into the house.
Shangguan Biao slammed the door shut, lit the oil lamp on the table, and pointed to the corner, speaking at an astonishing speed: "Stand against the wall, hold your breath and don't make a sound, and don't face the window!"
The doors and windows of these huts are on the same side, but in Shangguan Biao's hut, the window shutters had long since fallen off, and the window was just a square hole. He only hung a screen to keep mosquitoes out.
He Lingchuan and Immortal Mingke stood side by side against the wall, eager to see what kind of mischief he would pull. Aunt Zhu also emerged from He Lingchuan's clothes.
They had just stood still when the ground suddenly shook twice, as if something was approaching from a distance, and its size must have been enormous. Although Immortal Mingke and Granny Zhu couldn't sense it, they could see the broom standing behind the door suddenly fall over, so they knew that Shangguan Biao wasn't lying.
Following Shangguan Biao's instructions, the three cleared their minds and held their breath in anticipation.
The earthquake stopped, and then a big eye peeked out the window!
His eyes alone were bigger than the windows of the room; they were yellow, with large, dark pupils and bloodshot eyes.
The ferocity and brutality hidden in those eyes could scare a living person to death.
It peered through the window, its eyes darting around frantically, clearly trying to see what was inside.
There was only Shangguan Biao in the room, and an oil lamp on the table.
Stared at like that, Shangguan Biao's face turned a little pale, clearly under a lot of pressure, but he still waved his arm at it and shouted, "Get out! You won't find what you want here!"
These large eyes blocked out all the outdoor light, so Shangguan Biao's small house could only be lit by a single oil lamp. That little bit of light could only illuminate about three feet around him, and couldn't even penetrate to the corners of the room.
Big Eyes wouldn't listen to him. She peered into the house again, taking her time to look around. Then, a deep, gloomy voice rang out from outside:
"You're in big trouble, they won't let you get away with this!"
Those who heard it understood that it was the owner of the big eyes speaking.
Shangguan Biao remained silent, simply averting his gaze and ignoring it. The creature seemed to take a deep breath, then moved with heavy steps, disappearing into the distance.
Tranquility returned to both the house and the surrounding area.
Shangguan Biao closed the door and quickly gestured to the three of them, telling them to calm down and keep things as they were.
So the three of them remained still.
Shangguan Biao sat back down at the table, took a winnowing basket of dried herbs, and then took out a medicine grinder to grind the herbs into powder.
It was clear this was his daily routine, as his movements were very practiced. But He Lingchuan could tell from his frequent blinking that he was only pretending to be calm.
Aunt Zhu remained motionless, a typical routine for the cave spiders; He Lingchuan and Immortal Ming Ke focused their attention inward, their breath concentrated in their dantian. Other immortals, if they closed their eyes, wouldn't even sense their presence.
The house was quiet, with only the soft rustling of the stone mill grinding the herbs.
Without warning, another big eye appeared outside the window!
It was that same giant eye, peering intently into the window with an expression of utter ferocity and malice.
If anyone happens to make eye contact with it at this moment, their scalp will tingle.
The hair is creepy.
As before, only Shangguan Biao and the oil lamp that was about to go out were in the room.
Shangguan Biao didn't even look up this time, continuing to grind his medicinal powder.
After more than ten breaths, the owner of the giant eye moved away from the window and once again walked away with heavy steps.
Shangguan Biao continued working diligently, and only after a while did he stand up, open the door, and go out to take a look.
"Alright, let's go." He returned to the three of them and said, "We're safe for now. But here, you must never speak loudly."
That thing was truly cunning; it pretended to walk away, then tiptoed back to see if Shangguan Biao was lying. If an outsider thought the crisis was over and unwittingly left his hiding place, he would be caught red-handed.
"What is that?" Immortal Mingke lowered his voice unconsciously.
That thing outside the window has such a powerful sense of oppression.
"To be honest, I don't know either. Anyway, it's a red-skinned monster that looks like a demon." Shangguan Biao seemed very frustrated. "It often appears out of nowhere and harbors deep malice towards me. It tries to catch me as soon as it appears."
