Zhang Xiaozu's mental state expanded into a subtle state, covering an area of two thousand steps in an instant, without seeing anyone.
But he didn't dare to take it lightly, because if the other party was a saint, his subtle state of mind would not be able to detect it at all.
Roar--
The black ape bared its teeth and glared, roaring from its mouth, which made the thundering flame horse under its crotch tremble.
The black ape dodged and brought Zhang Xiaopeng down from the air to the ground. Its eyes fell on the open space not far ahead.
Zhang Xiaozu followed the black ape's gaze and saw nothing. Just when he couldn't help but want to ask aloud, the space above the open space suddenly became distorted, as if someone was about to walk out of it.
His heart immediately thumped, and he put his left hand around Butcher Zhang's back, freed his right hand, pulled out the bone knife from the mustard seed, and got ready for battle.
Under the gazes of Heiyuan and Zhang Xiaozu, the space twisted and sunk for a while, and finally appeared as a dark, egg-shaped hole as tall as a person, like a door to space that led to nowhere.
Zhang Xiaozu looked alert and nervous, but after waiting for a long time, no one came out of the space door.
Just when he was puzzled, a brilliant colorful light suddenly bloomed from the space door, and at the same time a white mist surged out. The mist contained an alluring fragrance that made people's souls intoxicated.
Roar--
Black Ape suddenly roared, his eyes bursting with greedy light, and he rushed towards the door of space without thinking.
Zhang Xiaozhu showed an intoxicated expression when he smelled the alluring fragrance. Even the unconscious Butcher Zhang opened his eyes a crack and asked in a weak voice: "What is so fragrant? Give me a taste."
Zhang Xiaopou couldn't help but smile when he heard the sound.
boom!
Black Ape wanted to rush into the space door, but it was like hitting a wall and was bounced away hard.
It roared angrily, powerful power erupted from its body, and rushed towards the space door again, but was bounced away again with a bang.
Roar--
The black ape roared up to the sky, showing his fierce look, and rushed towards the door of space again, but the result was the same, he was bounced away again.
Black Ape was so impatient that he almost went crazy and told Zhang Xiaozu that there was probably a treasure in the gate of space that Black Ape could covet.
"What a bastard!"
Black Ape was furious, yelled at the space door, and then punched it.
boom!
Its punch was terrifyingly powerful, but its impact on the space door only caused a layer of ripples on its surface, but made the ground beneath its feet shake violently.
Click!
Then there was a clear sound of bone cracking, and Black Ape grinned in pain, holding his right arm to calm down.
Zhang Xiaozu couldn't help but be speechless.
He knew how terrifying the power of the black ape's punch was. It could shatter the void, but it didn't even open the space door in front of it. Instead, it cracked its own arm bones. This door was too... It's solid.
"Your Majesty, how about... let's continue on our way?" Zhang Xiaozu asked cautiously.
Although the fragrance emanating from the space gate was also very tempting to him, he wanted to take Butcher Zhang back to the imperial capital as soon as possible.
Black Ape turned back and glared at Zhang Xiaopou angrily, and shouted: "Do you know what the fragrance is?"
"It should be some kind of spiritual fruit, right?" Zhang Xiaozhu guessed, because he smelled a sweet fruity scent.
"Boy, stand still and listen carefully. This is the fruity aroma that comes from the ripe longevity fruit. Do you know about the longevity fruit? Eating it can increase your longevity by five hundred years."
Zhang Xiaozhu was shocked when he heard this, and then he was overjoyed. He asked excitedly: "If my grandpa eats it, then he-"
Black Ape interrupted him and said: "Don't talk about eating, even if you squeeze some juice for him to drink, he won't die."
Zhang Xiaozu's eyes suddenly shone and he stepped towards the door of space.
"It's useless, you can't get in. Just wait, maybe there will be changes." Black Ape knew what Zhang Xiaozu was thinking, and shook his head to let him give up the idea.
"I'll give it a try." Zhang Xiaozhu saw the life-saving straw, and he couldn't do anything without giving it a try.
Black Ape curled his lips and snorted, dissatisfied that Zhang Xiaopou didn't believe the facts it proved with bone fractures, but he didn't stop him and stepped out of the way of the space door.
Zhang Xiaozu carried Butcher Zhang on his back and walked to the door of space. Smelling the alluring fragrance at close range, he couldn't help but salivate and swallow.
"Give me a bite." Butcher Zhang said in a dreamy voice, and he felt like he was crying with greed.
Zhang Xiaozu put the bone knife into the Sumeru ring and reached out to touch the door of space. With the Black Ape as a warning, he didn't dare to hit it randomly.
Who would have thought that as soon as his hand touched the door of space, a huge suction force suddenly came from inside, and he was sucked in without even having time to struggle.
"——" Hei Yuan was so shocked that his eyes almost popped out. He quickly strode forward and imitated Zhang Xiaopou's way of reaching out to touch the door of space.
But the space door suddenly twisted, and then disappeared with the wind.
Black Ape stood stunned on the spot.
After a long time, he opened his mouth and spit out two words: "Fuck!"
After standing there stunned for a while, Black Ape finally calmed down his unhappy mood, sighed and said to himself: "Boy, I haven't had time to tell you yet, but besides the longevity fruit, there seems to be something very scary inside. You have to take care of yourself."
Phew——
Not far away, the Thundering Flame Horse suddenly hooted, seemingly dissatisfied with the Black Ape for not informing its owner of the danger earlier.
The black ape's eyes fell on the thundering flame horse, and a sinister smile suddenly appeared on his face. He jumped on the back of the thundering flame horse and grinned: "Let me teach you how to speak."
"Come on, open your mouth, follow the example of the king, I - fuck -"
…
"Father, be careful!" Su Jin reminded Su Hanlin worriedly.
She and Su Hanlin were returning to the Imperial City from the Forest of Flowing Shadows. On the way, they saw a space gate that was overflowing with light and emitting a strange fragrance. At this moment, Su Hanlin was approaching the space gate.
She was a little worried, wondering if there was any danger hidden inside the space door.
Su Hanlin quickly walked to the door of space and stretched out his right hand tentatively.
Just when his hand was about to touch the door of space, a white jade hand suddenly stretched out from inside and slapped him without any warning.
Su Hanlin had been carefully alert to danger, so he reacted immediately, but still not faster than the speed of his hand.
With a bang, Su Hanlin's chest was slapped with his palm, causing him to vomit blood and fly away.
"Father——" Su Jin exclaimed with concern and ran towards Su Hanlin who fell into the distance.
But before she could even take two steps, the jade hand suddenly grabbed her, clasped her shoulders with five fingers, and pulled her into the door of space.
"Jin'er!" Su Hanlin was shocked and flew towards the space door, but he missed it and the space door disappeared.
Su Hanlin froze on the spot and was at a loss.
…
"Mom, look, what is that?!"
On the Shen family's regret cliff, Zhang Xiaobing was startled by the sudden appearance of a space door not far away.
But then her eyes lit up, and then she looked overjoyed and called out to Shen Wenjun urgently: "Mom, come quickly!"
She didn't know where this space door led to, but she felt that even if it led to the underworld, it would be better than staying on the Cliff of Repentance. She knew that this was a God-given opportunity to escape from the Shen family.
Shen Wenjun heard Zhang Xiaobing's scream and ran out from under the cliff quickly, followed by four nuns who were waiting for her.
Zhang Xiaobing grabbed Shen Wenjun and ran towards the door of space.
Then he plunged into the space door, but as soon as Zhang Xiaobing entered with his front foot, the back foot of the space door disappeared, leaving Shen Wenjun where he was.
"Go and tell the owner of the family that Zhang Xiaobing has escaped!"
…
"Guangmao, what do you think that is?"
"Gate to space?"
"It smells so good, it seems like some kind of spiritual fruit is ripe."
"Go in and have a look."
…
On November 22nd, strange space gates appeared all over the Jiuzhou Continent.
Some space gates have brilliant rays of light, some have alluring fragrance, some have birds chirping and beasts roaring, some have fairy music and grand scenes, some have Sanskrit temples——
Some gates in space disappear shortly after they appear, some disappear after just one person enters, some last for several days before disappearing, some only disappear after hundreds of people enter, some reject people thousands of miles away, and some forcefully kidnap people to enter——
Jiuzhou Continent was instantly shocked.
…
Zhang Xiaozu felt dizzy before his eyes, and then fell into the pitch black where he couldn't see his fingers. He conditionedly wanted to expand his mind to check his surroundings, but was shocked to find that his mind was unresponsive.
"Ghost——" He tried to call the ghost, but the voice echoed in his mind without any response.
What reassured him a little was that Butcher Zhang was still there on his back.
The darkness lasted for nearly a cup of tea, and then suddenly brightened. The light pierced Zhang Xiaopou and he closed his eyes suddenly, followed by a feeling of weightlessness.
He felt that his body was falling rapidly, and he hurriedly used the seven-color Hunyuan Power to protect his body, but something frightening happened again.
His seven-color Hunyuan Power was gone.
To be more precise, his cultivation is gone, and none of the seven battle sects can sense it.
Before he had time to think, Zhang Xiaopou had already fallen from the air and fell to his knees on the ground with a loud thud, face down.
Butcher Zhang rolled to the side. Zhang Xiaopeng was cushioning him below, but he didn't fall.
However, his body was weak, and the shock of falling alone knocked him out of his already blurry consciousness.
This fall nearly knocked Zhang Xiaopou to death. Stars appeared in his eyes, his organs were shaken, and his chest was suffocated. Fortunately, he fell on the soft sand by the river, otherwise he would have fallen to death.
Zhang Xiaozu knelt on the beach, opening his mouth wide and trying to breathe, but he couldn't hold a breath in his chest until his face was swollen and purple, and finally he breathed out.
Cough - cough cough -
He coughed violently for a while, coughing up all the fine sand that had filled his mouth and nose, and then slowly regained his strength.
"Grandpa—Grandpa—"
Zhang Xiaozu called out to Butcher Zhang anxiously, but Butcher Zhang was already unconscious and did not give him any response.
He looked around at the grassy beaches, green mountains and green waters, and his eyes couldn't help but look confused, not knowing where he was at the moment.
He checked his body and found that the subtle state of mind was gone, the ghosts were gone, the cultivation level was gone, and even Xumi Mustard Seed could not be opened. He couldn't help but feel flustered, and at the same time there were waves of weakness.
This is a reaction of the body not adapting to the loss of cultivation.
Gulu——
His stomach suddenly growled unsatisfactorily, and a long-lost hunger hit him.
Zhang Xiaozu got up and walked to the river, took a handful of clear river water, and fed Butcher Zhang to drink some.
To Zhang Xiaozu's relief, when the water was delivered to Butcher Zhang's mouth, he still knew how to swallow it. He was obviously drinking consciously.
After feeding Butcher Zhang, he squatted by the river and drank until he was full, forcing himself to temporarily suppress his hunger.
Then he stood on the beach, moving and adapting to his body that had lost its cultivation, while thinking about what to get first, and then looking for the longevity fruit.
But all he could see was wilderness, which made him feel at a loss.
