Chapter 761: Chapter 318: Lost Soul? (Part 2)

Then, the remaining red threads, like soldiers constantly fighting, extended downward like lightning, directly threading from left to right below the head to form a hard line, gradually creating a square shoulder.

Afterward, at the shoulders, the red threads extended from them again, heading downward, intertwining with each other as if plucking harp strings, gradually forming a pair of hands, with ten slender, white fingers entwined.

From below the heart as the center, extending all the way downward, the red threads, like a master who has experienced countless carvings, repeatedly interweave and tightly entwine, every move bearing an artistic sense, as if sculpting a perfect artwork, meticulously outlining a pair of long, robust lines seemingly containing endless explosive power.

Under Xu Ran’s gaze, a complete humanoid figure formed in the high sky, using the heart as the core pivot, sculpted by an invisible artist out of countless red threads, quietly hovering in the air like a deity strolling out from ancient myths.

"Hmm?!"

Xu Ran stared at the ’person’ formed in the sky, his brows slightly furrowed.

"Is this a human?"

Xu Ran was very puzzled.

After asking this question, he closed his eyes, and a weak divine sense floated toward the newly formed ’person,’ carefully probing the information of this ’person.’

This strand of divine sense kept searching back and forth on this ’person,’ only to find that this ’person’ was exactly the same as an ordinary person!

Yes, exactly the same as an ordinary person!!

No cultivation aura on the body, no cultivation fluctuations, and the red mist floating in the air couldn’t get close to him; everything about him was completely out of place with this valley!!

Everything occurring was extremely bizarre.

One must know.

Before this person formed, he absorbed all the green in the valley, an immensely powerful force that ordinary people couldn’t withstand. According to Xu Ran’s guess, if not for his Great Success of the Innate Saint’s Sacred Body, he probably could not endure such massive energy.

Yet all this tremendous energy was used to form a human!

And this person had no cultivation fluctuations whatsoever!!

Everything about this was so eerie.

Even so, Xu Ran’s heart did not relax at all. This person was very strange, and this valley was very strange; who could say this wasn’t a diversion?

While Xu Ran pondered all possibilities, the person standing high in the sky slowly lifted his heavy eyelids, drowsily.

On his eyelids, there were some yellow things that looked like eye gunk.

The personal feeling was just like an ordinary person who had just woken up.

Indeed, it was so.

As soon as he opened those eyelids that felt like a thousand pounds, seeing the scene before him, his pupils instantly enlarged, the drowsiness of just waking instantly cleared, his limbs flailing uncontrollably.

Being up in the high sky all the time, due to the flailing body, he immediately lost balance and fell from the sky.

"Ah!"

A terrified scream echoed in the valley, and Xu Ran could clearly see that as he fell, his rapidly expanding pupils were trembling constantly, and the sense of fear didn’t seem acted at all.

Even so, Xu Ran still didn’t make any move.

If the person before him was really just an ordinary person, it would be fine, but if this was a trap, he would fall into an irremediable situation.

Therefore, Xu Ran just quietly watched him fall from the sky.

His position from the ground wasn’t particularly high, probably only about ten meters, and below wasn’t hardened earth.

"Bang!"

A heavy object hitting the ground sounded; along with the sound of falling, there was also the rustling sound of leaves.

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, Xu Ran unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

He saw that the newly formed person was lying on a patch of land surrounded by leaves.

Previously, the giant trees knocked down by the fierce storm and fluctuations happened to pile up here, of which the softest leaves were also gathered here, allowing an ordinary person to fall from dozens of meters high without particularly severe injuries.

Of course, though it didn’t seem like there was any major problem, at such a height, even with soft leaves cushioning below, it would still be very painful.

He saw that person holding his butt, howling on the ground.

"Ouch! So painful!"

That voice seemed to reproach Xu Ran for not catching him at all.

He howled in agony for several minutes before slowly standing up, clutching his butt, patting dust off his body, and looking at Xu Ran.

"You’re Xu Ran?"

As soon as he spoke, Xu Ran’s pupils slightly contracted, staring at the strange person in front of him in some astonishment.

It wasn’t surprised that he could say Xu Ran’s name, but this voice, this tone, this action was just too normal, yet in this eerie valley, everything was so abnormal.

"Who are you?" Xu Ran asked.

He waved his hand, nonchalantly replied, "Who I am doesn’t matter."

"What’s more, after so long, I don’t even know what I’m called."

There was peace in his tone, as if his name was really so insignificant.

But Xu Ran heard the key in his words.

"So long... how long is that?"

Upon hearing, he straightened his body, looked around the valley, and finally gazed at the sky above the valley.

"I... don’t remember!"

There was a sense of vicissitude in his tone, as if he had really experienced long years.

But are his words credible?

Could an ordinary person with no cultivation live that long?

Xu Ran didn’t believe a word he said, no matter how ordinary, how normal, how full of vicissitude he seemed to show.

What’s more, he absorbed the immense green mist in the valley, containing powerful energy that could make Xu Ran very cautious. To easily believe him could bring very bad consequences, perhaps even a completely unacceptable one.

"I know you don’t believe me, and I don’t expect you to believe me," he refocused on the gigantic corpse lying on the ground.

"Next, let’s get down to business!"

Xu Ran was puzzled.

"Business? What business?"

He looked at Xu Ran, raised his eyebrow, and said.

"Don’t you want to know what this place is? Don’t you want to know why you ended up here?"

His two consecutive questions instantly captured Xu Ran’s attention.

Indeed, he had always been unable to understand why he and the Peregrine Falcon were brought to this strange valley by the mist, what those resurrected monsters were, and what the White Tiger’s words really meant?

He wanted to know everything.

And...

Xu Ran also fixed his gaze on the gigantic corpse.

What was that corpse, thousands of meters in size?

What kind of corpse could remain uncorrupted after such a long time?

What kind of power made its head disappear?

What is the story of this valley?

There were just too many questions.

"Also, don’t you want to help your spirit pet recover its soul?"

His gaze fell on the Peregrine Falcon for just a moment, then continued speaking.

"Interesting, not only do you have Innate Qi, but this Peregrine Falcon’s body also possesses Innate Qi from its incubation!"

"Besides Innate Qi, there’s Kunpeng Bloodline inside..."

"Your spirit pet has unlimited potential!!"

Xu Ran was somewhat astonished by his words.

An ordinary person with no cultivation could see through all the opportunities embodied in the Peregrine Falcon with just one glance.

Just this single point convinced Xu Ran that this person before him must not be trusted!!!
