Chapter 662: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 34

According to Ruyi's observation, she found that the trees, flowers and plants here would turn into stones once they were bent, and there was no scent of plants at all. Therefore, Ruyi was convinced that there should be no life in this world of painted walls.

"Interesting. It's not surprising that there is life here, so how did the monsters here come into being?"

There is no need to ask what these monsters rely on to sustain life. You don’t need to think about it to know that it is the souls of humans, or in other words, they survive by absorbing human essence.

It stands to reason that a space filled with dead objects and no life will not give birth to spirits with intelligence and souls. Ruyi really wants to know what is going on here. She is very interested in what can turn a space that was originally just stone into a 'living' space that can accommodate hundreds of fairies and monsters.

The boundary bead has not been refined yet, and Ruyi is not sure whether all this is related to the boundary bead, but she inexplicably has a hunch that the reason why this place has become the current strange space that can accommodate souls and monsters is most likely not related to the boundary bead.

Just as the Golden-Armored Monster explained, in order to welcome the king of the Painted Wall World out of seclusion, all the spirits and monsters here were not in their residences. Ruyi walked around for a few times alone, but saw nothing except those things that turned into stone carvings as soon as they were picked up.

In his spiritual consciousness, he saw three black spots in the distant sky flying towards this side. Ruyi did not restrain his breath, so he was naturally noticed by Zhigong in the sky soon.

"There are living souls coming in. How do you do things?"

Hearing Zhigong's question, the green-clothed woman and the golden-armored monster behind him couldn't help but break out in cold sweats. The golden-armored monster was originally responsible for managing the painted wall world during Zhigong's retreat, but now he had actually entered the living soul and was discovered by Zhigong. This was a complete dereliction of duty and he couldn't deny it at all.

The reason why the woman in green also broke out in a cold sweat was because she recognized Ruyi below. Previously, she was responsible for managing the spirits in the painted wall when Zhigong was in retreat. In order to prevent any bad souls from entering and disturbing Zhigong's breakthrough, the woman in green specially gathered all the little spirits in Zhigong Hall for unified management, and even closed the entrance and exit channels of the painted wall world in advance.

When she first saw Ruyi in the water mirror, the woman in green was glad that she had closed the passage. Seeing that Ruyi did not come again after trying to attack once, the woman in green concluded that the mystery here was not discovered by Ruyi, and she even did not tell the golden-armored monster about it because of carelessness.

At this moment, Ruyi came in quietly, just at the critical moment when Zhigong lost the boundary bead. The woman in green felt that once people knew that she had discovered Ruyi's existence a long time ago but did not take precautions, she might not even be able to keep her life.

"Who are you and how did you get into my kingdom? Tell me now!"

Because Ruyi's soul was obscured by the energy of heaven and earth, Zhigong did not discover any cultivation in Ruyi. The immortal energy that attracted monsters only existed in Ruyi's body. Therefore, in Zhigong's eyes, Ruyi was just an ordinary soul.

"If you don't tell the truth, don't blame me for being rude to you!"

"Qingyi, Jinjia, go and capture this woman for me!" It's not that Zhi Gong didn't want to do it himself, but the fact is that the injuries he suffered from the failed breakthrough were really serious, otherwise he would not have used coercion before, but chose to emit poisonous fog to intimidate his subordinates.

"Yes, Your Majesty!" The golden-armored monster observed Ruyi for a while and did not find anything special about him. Upon hearing Zhigong's order, he immediately stepped down confidently, picked up the wooden stick and was about to hit Ruyi on the head.

Ruyi dodged the wooden stick with a quick move, and then with a side kick, he kicked the golden-armored monster to the ground. Qingyi had seen Ruyi use the Thunder Palm with his own eyes, and knew that Ruyi was no match for him, so he was afraid to land.

Seeing that Qing Yi was still not moving, Zhi Gong was immediately dissatisfied. He grabbed Qing Yi's neck and asked viciously: "Qing Yi, why don't you do it? Do you know the woman below? Or have you betrayed me?!"

"Ahem, Your Majesty, no, Qingyi, Qingyi did not, ahem, did not betray you..." At this moment, Qingyi felt that if she did not explain, she would really be strangled to death by His Majesty.

She endured the pain of suffocation and stumbled to explain the matter, "I, I didn't do it because I didn't dare to do it."

"Ahem, that woman, I've seen that woman before!"

"Have you seen it? Since you said so, I will believe you again. Hurry up and tell me the information about that woman!" The golden armored monster below was no match for Ruyi at all. If it weren't for the good defensive power of the golden iron armor on his body, and if Ruyi didn't want to test what this golden armored monster was, without using any spells for the time being, the golden armored monster would have been killed by Ruyi long ago.

It was precisely because he saw how powerful Ruyi was that Zhigong let Qingyi go and spared her. He planned to listen to Qingyi's information about Ruyi and then see how to deal with Ruyi.

"Yes, sir, I will tell you at once."

"Not long after His Majesty had been in seclusion that day, two people came to the temple outside the mural. One was a young Taoist priest, and the other was this woman."

"As soon as they came in, they cracked the illusion on the wall and found the mural, and then..."

"At that time, the entire wall was filled with lightning and thunder. If we hadn't hidden in the main hall..."

It has to be said that Qingyi has a good memory and good observation skills. He realized how powerful Ruyi was just from the conversation between Ruyi and Zhiqiu Yiye. Later, he confirmed how difficult Ruyi was from Ruyi's palm. After Qingyi's narration, Zhigong's brows furrowed deeper and deeper, and there was a look of retreat in his eyes.

"If I hadn't been injured before, I might have dared to fight with this woman, but now..." Thinking of his own injuries, Zhi Gong finally decided to hide first, "Anyway, that thing is on me. As long as I don't die, there will be other monsters in the future!"

After successfully convincing himself, Zhi Gong suddenly felt at ease. Seeing that the golden-armored monster below finally couldn't hold on any longer, Zhi Gong immediately left Qing Yi on the spot and turned around and flew away alone.

Although Ruyi below was fighting with the golden-armored monster, he did not ignore Zhigong and Qingyi in the sky, and had been monitoring the two monsters with his spiritual sense. Seeing Zhigong escape, Ruyi became anxious and directly used the Thunder Palm, which slapped the golden-armored monster back to its original form, killing it.

"It turns out to be a monster transformed from a golden beetle!" It turns out to be a monster transformed from an insect, no wonder it is so weak!

Generally speaking, as long as there is intelligence, it can transform into a monster. The most common of them are monsters transformed from animals, that is, birds and beasts. Generally, these monsters are relatively strong. The next are monsters transformed from trees, flowers and plants. Generally speaking, this kind of monster is affected by the original body. Although its strength is not weak, it has no hostility and will not cause much harm.

The rarest are monsters transformed from insects. Generally, the bodies of insects are too weak and their brains are not very smart, so it is difficult for them to develop intelligence. Except for a few poisonous insect monsters such as butterflies, bees, spiders, etc., other insect monsters are very rare.

"It's really rare to see a monster transformed from a golden beetle."
