Chapter 526: Triggering the Taboo (2)

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

So far, he had not encountered any danger.

Most importantly, Xiao Shi was very curious about the secrets in the deepest part of this valley and the true intentions of the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect.

He had a strong premonition about this. This was the only chance for him to come into contact with this secret. The reason why the Four Symbols Divine Martial Sect did not tell them their true intentions of entering this place was definitely because this secret was important.

It was a secret that could not be easily revealed.

Xiao Shi did not know if Xiang Zizhen knew this secret. However, he could predict that even if Xiang Zizhen knew, he would not be able to tell him this secret. This was his only chance to obtain this secret.

Xiao Shi decisively chose the path to the deepest part of the valley. The remnant soul nodded. “As you wish.”

Buzz!

The entire body of the remnant soul suddenly emitted a dazzling light. It directly turned into a beam of light. This caused the void in front of him to distort. In the distortion, it formed a huge vortex-shaped door of light.

He was forming this path to the deepest part of the valley with his own life.

Xiao Shi took a deep breath. He directly stepped into the door of light. In the next moment, he crossed a long distance. He appeared in the deepest part of the valley. There was a huge altar here. In the center of the entire altar, there was a thick camphor tree. Its branches and leaves were slender like a lid, and its vines hung like curtains.

Between the dense vines, there was a huge eyeball. However, this eyeball was currently in a closed state. The moment he saw this huge eyeball, Xiao Shi realized that this eyeball was very likely the greatest secret in this valley.

This eyeball originally did not belong to this camphor tree. The reason why it existed on the camphor tree was because this eyeball was sealed in the camphor tree.

He would only know more about the specific situation when he got close. Although he had already arrived at the deepest part of the valley, he was still a distance away from the huge altar in front of him.

Not far in front of him, there was a guard. However, this guard was different from the headless guard he had encountered before. This was a guard with a head. His head was a huge beast head. His eyes were red. There was a deep hostility. He was still holding an incomparably huge battle axe.

Xiao Shi immediately thought of one of the taboos.

[Not all the guards in the valley were willing to help. Only the headless guards would help. If you encounter guards with heads, immediately think of a way to avoid them.]

“Could it be that these guards with heads will attack me? Is that why I need to dodge?” Xiao Shi’s heart trembled. As these guards did not emit any aura fluctuations, he could not tell what kind of strength they had.

But with the level of this valley, the strength of the guards in the valley was definitely not simple. Currently, if he wanted to reach the altar in front of him, there was only one way. And this guard was on this path. It seemed impossible to pass by without him noticing.

Xiao Shi fell into deep thought.

No matter what, since he was here, he had to go to the altar in front of him and investigate. But how could he avoid the guard in front of him?

He had an idea after some thoughts.

Xiao Shi extended his finger. He placed his finger on his glabella. Immediately, a moon mark appeared on his glabella.

Xiao Shi spread his spiritual sense throughout his body and directly enveloped his body through his spiritual sense, causing his body to be in a hidden state. This was the dark moon state formed by combining the Flame Moon and his spiritual sense.

In the Dark Moon State, he would not be sensed by others’ spiritual sense.

Xiao Shi decided to try to avoid the guards in this state. He began to move forward silently. The guard in front of him only stood rooted to the ground in a daze, like a statue. He did not notice Xiao Shi’s approach.

Xiao Shi’s heart tightened bit by bit as he approached. He was not sure if his method would work. Finally, he arrived less than a hundred meters away from the guard. Now, he was on the right side of the guard. There was a bush here.

Xiao Shi hid in the bushes and moved forward. Not long after, he and the guard were almost parallel. The guard was not far to his left. And there was still no movement from the guard.

Xiao Shi felt that as long as he passed the guard, he should be safe. After all, the guard was facing forward and should not turn his head to look behind him.

However, just as he was about to pass the guard, the originally motionless guard suddenly turned his neck bit by bit mechanically. His red pupils stared fixedly at the bushes at the side. His gaze seemed to be able to penetrate the obstruction of these bushes. He saw Xiao Shi inside.

“Shit!” Xiao Shi’s heart sank. The moment the guard turned his head, he could already feel that he was being watched by the guard.

He was still discovered!

Although he could not be sensed by others’ spiritual sense in the form of the Dark Moon, he could see it with the naked eye. This guard clearly did not rely on his spiritual sense to search. He only observed with the naked eye.

The moment this guard discovered Xiao Shi, the entire red pupil was burning red.

Swoosh!

He flashed in the air and appeared in front of Xiao Shi. He raised the huge axe in his hand. The entire huge axe flickered with blood light and condensed an incomparably terrifying power.

It made Xiao Shi tremble in fear. “As expected, once these guards with heads discover me, they will attack me!”

Buzz!

The guard waved his huge axe and slashed fiercely at Xiao Shi.

Boom!!

The entire ground shook violently under the slash of the huge axe. The guard’s giant axe missed. The moment the guard’s huge axe slashed down, Xiao Shi had already used teleportation in his red tiger form and teleported behind the guard.

Although the power on the guard’s huge axe was terrifying, his slashing speed was only average. Xiao Shi, who had teleported behind the guard, could even counterattack. However, he remembered the taboo of this place. He knew that he could not have any evil thoughts in this valley.

In other words, he could not have the thought of destroying this guard. He could not do such a thing either. This was also the most difficult problem.

This guard was already extremely powerful. He could not think of destroying him yet.

“But 1 should be able to restrict him.” Xiao Shi felt that he just had to restrain his thoughts. If he only set off his actions to protect himself, he should be fine.

Many branches immediately extended from his body. These branches bound the entire guard tightly from behind at an extremely fast speed to restrict the guard’s movement. Not only that, many black fog spread out from Xiao Shi’s body and dissipated in the surroundings.

This black fog was one of the array formations he had set up in the Ancient Cang’e Tree. The effect of this array formation was to allow him to form many black fog. This black fog had an extremely strong ability to hide one’s vision.

The reason why Xiao Shi had set up such an array formation in the Ancient Cang’e Tree was to be able to cooperate with his Dark Moon State. He blocked his vision through the black fog. And he could not find him with his spiritual sense. This allowed him to truly appear and disappear in the black fog.

However, after Xiao Shi finished all of this, there was a crack. The branches wrapped around the guard were all shattered by him. They could not form an effective binding at all. The guard turned around. His red pupils locked onto Xiao Shi. Even if Xiao Shi changed his position in the black fog, his gaze was also following Xiao Shi.

“My fog array is useless against him!” Xiao Shi’s heart sank. He was even more shocked to discover that the guard’s strength was stronger than before..
