NOVPUBIn the footage replayed by the Backeye Bird, this not yet peaked hurricane already gave a nearly suffocating sense of oppression.
Soon enough, the view got closer to the hurricane, and one could distinctly see the cloud layer being rolled up by the hurricane’s airflows above.
Carrying these clouds along, the hurricane rapidly expanded its range, and the eye of the storm began to shrink increasingly.
This is a characteristic of hurricanes - the smaller the eye, the greater the wind force.
Aside from this, though, Wang Ba didn’t notice anything peculiar.
However, at this moment, Qin Lingxiao beside him suddenly spoke in a serious tone:
"Wait, stop there!"
Wang Ba was taken aback, but he immediately commanded the Backeye Bird to halt.
The Backeye Bird instantly closed its eyes, and the illusion it had released froze in place.
Wang Ba quickly asked in confusion, "Is there a problem?"
Qin Lingxiao immediately nodded, his hand pointing at a spot within the illusion.
"Here!"
Following his finger, Wang Ba looked, but couldn’t help but frown slightly.
In the midst of the massive hurricane, he saw a whirlpool the size of a fingernail.
If it were not for Qin Lingxiao’s indication, he wouldn’t have noticed.
"What’s this?"
Wang Ba couldn’t help but ask, frowning.
Qin Lingxiao’s face was filled with serious concern:
"I’m not entirely sure, but the appearance of this looks somewhat like the image I once saw at my grandfather’s side..."
Wang Ba wasn’t particularly interested in the other person’s grandfather, but asked straightforwardly:
"Is it dangerous?"
Upon hearing this, Qin Lingxiao paused for a moment before nodding decisively:
"My grandfather told me that if I ever encounter that thing, I must turn around and leave immediately, never approaching it."
Wang Ba’s expression turned slightly grim, and he continued his inquiry: "What was your grandfather’s cultivation base?"
Qin Lingxiao looked at Wang Ba hesitantly, bit his lip slightly, and eventually said:
"Immortal Ascension..."
At his words, he was taken aback to see Wang Ba promptly put away the Backeye Bird, pointing to the surrounding cavity wall and saying:
"Fu, let’s leave here at once!"
Qin Lingxiao quickly replied, "But I’m not sure yet if that’s the thing..."
But Wang Ba shook his head directly:
"If we wait until we are sure that it is that thing, I’m afraid we will already be in danger."
Hearing this, Qin Lingxiao immediately felt that Wang Ba made a lot of sense.
Wang Ba, however, had already taken out a book from his Storage Treasure and was busily perfecting the sketchy map of the area within the book while asking:
"So what’s this thing called then? Do you know?"
Qin Lingxiao pondered for a moment before uncertainly responding, "It seemed to be called something like Membrane Eye or just ’Eye’..."
Wang Ba’s hand, which was drawing the map, hesitated a little, and a touch of doubt appeared on his face:
"Eye..."
Why did it feel so familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before?
...
Whoosh!
On the calm sea surface.
A giant lizard floated up from the dark sea water, its forelimbs clawing on the reef above the water at the shore.
Then little by little it climbed onto the island.
Noticing the arrival of the giant lizard, a small golden monkey, just two feet tall, made a joyful ’hee’ sound as it jumped down from a height and landed beside the giant lizard.
The monkey was eagerly gesturing at the giant lizard.
The giant lizard tilted its head slightly, its clear light brown vertical pupils filled with puzzlement as they fixed on the golden monkey.
"Hiss."
Seeing the giant lizard not understanding at all, the golden monkey was distressed and scratched its head, suddenly as if thinking of something, it hurriedly grabbed the lizard’s front claw, intending to drag it upwards.
The giant lizard only shifted a little under the pulling of the golden monkey and looked at the frenzied monkey in confusion.
Seeing this, the golden monkey was instantly annoyed, and ’hee’d once.
But the giant lizard still looked at it kindly.
The golden monkey could no longer bear it. In an instant, it ballooned on the spot, transforming into a golden giant ape, its exaggerated muscles suddenly bulging as its figure was now even taller than the giant lizard.
It suddenly grabbed the front claw of the giant lizard with one arm, instantly dragging the giant lizard upwards easily.
Caught off guard, the giant lizard was quickly pulled upwards but almost immediately realized that the other party was up to no good. Its light brown pupils quietly went from harmless to chillingly cold.
’Hiss!’
An invisible fluctuation instantly spread outward!
The golden giant ape hadn’t realized that the other party had this move, and the spiritual power circulating inside its body immediately became sluggish!
Most of the effect of the Minor Divine Power ’Demonic Ape Transformation’ that depended on the spiritual power suddenly dropped along with its body shrinking noticeably!
But, the giant lizard, out of instinct, pounced forward and bit down fiercely.
Under the effect of the Yuanci, most creatures could only resist with their physical bodies.
However, the strong blood energy and the enhancements to strength and defense brought about by the giant body size made it easy for the giant lizard to have the upper hand in a purely physical confrontation.
So much so that the initially equally strong golden monkey, after its Minor Divine Power ’Demonic Ape Transformation’ weakened, could only evenly match the giant lizard for a time.
However, the battle experience of the golden monkey far surpassed the giant lizard. In the blink of an eye, the golden monkey caught on to the giant lizard’s weakness, withdrew the Demonic Ape Transformation, and returned to its two-foot height. It then leaped in front of the lizard’s eyes, and before it could react, the monkey punched!
Compared to the giant lizard’s eyes, the punch might’ve been small, but this punch made the giant lizard retreat painfully several steps, also losing the initiative simultaneously.
The small golden monkey was hopping up and down, its small and agile figure allowed it to toy with the giant lizard, making it the victor for the moment. All one could hear was a series of hisses from the giant lizard.
