#604 - Chapter 602: Cautious Demon
Mo Yi's initial purpose in creating the Yin-Yang Blood Jade wasn't solely for trading with that human traitor; it was also because the life-and-death energy it contained could attack enemies in any form.
That's right, it was specifically targeting the Ethereal Spirit Bird's etherealness.
If an ethereal Ethereal Spirit Bird had been at the door just now, that strike containing life-and-death energy would have been enough to kill it.
Unfortunately, it was Qi Jing who was there.
The Shadow Shockwave was specifically designed to deal with ethereal Ethereal Spirit Birds, and it had little effect against Qi Jing, who had extremely high resistance and strong defense.
Instead, it made this captain, who was preparing to save his teammate, change his mind.
He wanted to follow this fat fox who only knew how to use shadows and see what was going on.
Shadow Weasel - Ability-less Version
Why were both the Ethereal Spirit Bird and Shadow Weasel races in this territory, and they didn't seem to get along very well?
Could it be that this was originally the Shadow Weasel's territory, which was taken over by the Ethereal Spirit Birds, and now it's back for revenge?
Qi Jing had already imagined a story of thirty years east of the river, thirty years west of the river.
When the snipe and clam fight, the fisherman benefits.
He was going to be a fisherman today!
The first step was to use the Wall-Passing Technique to follow this Shadow Weasel in and see if it could defeat the Ethereal Spirit Birds.
The second step, ah?
Where were the birds?
There wasn't a single bird in the huge hall.
Take another look.
Damn, what a big house.
This magnificent hall was unimaginably large!
It was like a grand palace, incredibly wide, and one couldn't see the seats at the end at a glance.
Neatly arranged on both sides of the hall were exquisite angel sculptures. These sculptures were lifelike, as if they would spread their wings and fly at any moment.
Some held strange musical instruments, while others wielded long swords, all incredibly realistic. Although Qi Jing didn't understand art, he judged that these things were expensive.
They were much more exquisite than the angel stone men in the maze.
Could it be that they would also come to life under certain conditions?
Qi Jing looked up, and the ceiling above shone with dazzling light, as brilliant and dazzling as the bright sky, illuminating the entire hall as bright as day.
Being in it, not even a trace of shadow could be formed.
No shadows?
That's right, without shadows, the Shadow Weasel couldn't maintain shadow form for long.
Qi Jing recalled the introduction to the Shadow Weasel race in the textbook.
Shadow Weasel, a zoological alien race, small in size, with the largest being only the size of an adult leopard. They are generally cunning and can use the power of shadows—infiltrating shadows, using shadows to store items, or materializing or energizing shadows, etc.
If they used their abilities in a place without shadows, their source power consumption would increase significantly.
It could only be said that it was fortunate that there were no Ethereal Spirit Birds in this hall, otherwise, this Shadow Weasel would definitely be discovered.
Under Qi Jing's voyeurism, Mo Yi gradually changed from shadow form back to its original form, holding the Yin-Yang Blood Jade, cautiously walking in this hall.
It didn't have fiery eyes and golden pupils and didn't know if there were any Ethereal Spirit Birds in ethereal form, so it could only tighten its nerves to the highest degree and attack wherever there was any disturbance.
Therefore, it moved extremely slowly, as if every step it took required enormous effort.
Not only that, but it also turned its head from time to time, its eyes full of suspicion and vigilance, as if it was wary of everything around it.
That cautious, walking-on-thin-ice appearance was really a bit ridiculous.
And Qi Jing, who was following not far behind it and hadn't realized that the treasure he was looking for was right in front of him, kept rolling his eyes and urging it.
Too slow, he would have run to the third floor by now.
Unfortunately, his speed could only slow down. This Shadow Weasel had almost discovered him just now, and if he walked faster, the sound of the wind might really be noticed by it, which was so vigilant.
Thus, the weasel in front, the man behind, the two sneaky guys slowly walked in this empty hall.
Half an hour later.
The Shadow Weasel finally came to the stairs next to the end and began to advance to the second floor.
However, this step, which was twice as high, was still too high for this slightly smaller Shadow Weasel. Every time it went up a step, it would jump like a kitten, and at the same time, it would look around like a vigilant sentry from time to time.
It was really a bit funny.
Qi Jing slowly used Crane Control, Dragon Capture to control himself to float past its position, sensing the front first.
There was still nothing.
Although the architectural layout of this second floor was different from the first floor, it was not much different, only that each angel sculpture had been replaced with a strangely shaped birdcage.
From the feathers of the birds in the birdcage, it could be seen that there must have been Ethereal Spirit Birds here before, but why was there nothing now?
Strange.
Could it be that they all went to the third floor? Or higher?
Just as Qi Jing was preparing to fly up to see if Miao Kui was safe, a message popped up on the side of his helmet.
Zhu Qing'an: [Captain, we're back]
Tan Zuoyin: [Where are you?]
Damn?
Wireless signals could be transmitted here?
The walls that could shield even Observation Haki couldn't block small electromagnetic waves?
The tech tree of this Sky City was really a bit skewed.
Qi Jing: [I'm above the maze, on the second floor of that tower, preparing to go up]
Qi Jing: [There's also a Shadow Weasel with a cross-shaped wound on the back of its head with me here. I just saw...]
It had to be said that the telepathic typing ability he had drawn before was still very useful.
He only used the time it took for Mo Yi to go up three steps to tell the whole story once.
Zhu Qing'an: [Cross-shaped wound? Is it a short and a long one, at a sixty-degree angle?]
Qi Jing: [That's right, what's wrong, do you know it?]
Qi Jing: [Newly taken photo.jpg]
Zhu Qing'an: [That's right, this is the Shadow Weasel's chieftain, who once participated in the Alien Race Chieftain Alliance and attacked Qingyun City with the other alien race chieftains. Although it escaped at the time, it left behind its image]
Chieftain?
Thirty years west of the river, becoming the chieftain to come and seek revenge?
Even more inspiring!
Just as Qi Jing was about to use telepathic typing again, Zhu Qing'an sent a few more messages:
[Our mole discovered that the Ethereal Spirit Bird race and the Shadow Weasel had successfully united before, but according to your observations just now, they should have broken up, and I suspect it was caused by the ambition of this Shadow Weasel chieftain]
Zhu Qing'an: [I suggest you don't act rashly for now. The Shadow Weasel chieftain's ability is very powerful, and since it dares to come to the Ethereal Spirit Bird's territory alone, it should be fully confident]
Qi Jing: [Okay, if Old Miao is okay, I won't move for now, and see what the situation is between the two races]
Zhu Qing'an: [Miao Kui's position hasn't changed for a long time, but he should be safe now]
Yan Cheng: [Old Miao is really weak, he can actually be caught by the Ethereal Spirit Birds, he still needs to practice]
Song Jiang: [It's not necessarily being caught, maybe Old Miao has wiped out all the Ethereal Spirit Birds]
Yan Cheng: [How is that possible, with his transformation probability, can he really suddenly become a beautiful girl today who can see through etherealness, is not afraid of mental damage, and is especially strong?]
Yan Cheng:
