Chapter 3667: Skybolt pig wakes up!
Translator: 549690339
“Well …” Lin Yi was in a difficult position. He could only choose a random direction to look in.
At this moment, a muffled Thunder sounded in the sky, followed by dark clouds and a strong wind. In the blink of an eye, countless raindrops had already hit down, each one as thick as a thumb. It hurt when they hit the face. The rain was coming at any time!
He was not familiar with the surrounding environment, and the storm had suppressed his visibility and perception to the extreme. If he continued to move outside at this time, it would be no different from courting death.
Even with Lin Yi’s strength as an early-stage Foundation, he had no choice but to find a place to hide from the rain. After all, it was a thunderstorm, and it came and went quickly-it shouldn’t take too much time.
Lin Yi was planning to find a dense canopy to hide from the rain, but he accidentally saw a hole in the tree trunk.
After some observation and making sure there weren’t any powerful spirit beasts, Lin Yi flashed in. Compared to the storm outside, a dry and comfortable tree hole was an irresistible temptation, and Lin Yi was no exception.
Unexpectedly, the space inside the tree hole was quite large and empty. It was about 20 square meters, and there were no obvious signs of chiseling. It seemed to be a naturally formed tree hole.
He looked around and saw a pile of things in the corner. His eyes narrowed and his heart tightened.
That pile of things was actually a pile of bones! There were about four or five of them in total. These weren’t the bones of any wild beasts, but the bones of real humans!
In an instant, they felt their blood run cold.
It wasn’t strange to see human traces in this tree hole. After all, this was the outer area of the back mountain. Every year, many cultivators would enter and leave. However, it was shocking to see human skeletons here, and there were as many as four or five of them!
Could it be that there were cultivators killing each other and then piling the corpses here? Lin Yi couldn’t help but wonder.
Lin Yi was extra alert as he scanned the bones-each one of them had huge teeth marks. This time, the answer was obvious. These people did not die at the hands of humans, but became the food of some powerful spirit beast!
The conclusion made Lin Yi break out in cold sweat.
The reason why these people had appeared here was most likely to take shelter from the rain like he did now, or simply to find a place to rest and reorganize. But in the end, they had all become food for a powerful spirit beast. What did this mean?
This meant that Lin Yi had followed in their footsteps, and was most likely being targeted by that powerful spirit beast!
From the beginning to the end, this tree hole was not a shelter, but a living trap, a trap that caused many cultivators to die without a burial place!
The law of the jungle! Those words flashed across Lin Yi’s mind. Outside of the back mountain, there were all sorts of rules and restrictions. People could live in peace with each other, even with spirit beasts. But here, none of those rules worked.
There were only two identities here. You were either the predator or the prey.
He didn’t know what the spirit beast looked like, but he knew that he’d become its prey, a prey that had fallen into its trap.
In a situation where he didn’t know the opponent’s background at all, if he stayed here, he might just be sitting around and waiting for death. So Lin Yi made the choice immediately-out of the thirty-six Stratagems, leaving was the best! Even if he had been targeted and couldn’t escape in one piece, he could at least choose to change the battlefield. There was no need to fight in the opponent’s home field!
However, just as he was about to leave the tree hole, a voice that he had not heard for a long time suddenly rang in his mind.”Ji Ji! Ji Ji!”
The pig woke up at this moment! Lin Yi’s steps stopped-this voice made him overjoyed. It’d be much more reliable to find the heart-devouring exquisite grass now!
However, the situation wasn’t looking good, and it wasn’t the time to release Skybolt pig. He had to wait until they were out of danger.
But before Lin Yi could leave the tree hole, the pig’s cries in his mind got louder, as if it had something urgent to tell him!
Lin Yi’s heart jumped-could there be some treasure hidden in the tree hole that made the pig this anxious?
After hesitating for a while, Lin Yi decided to let Skybolt pig out first to see what he could find. After all, something that could wake Skybolt pig up must be something special.
If he left now, he might not be able to find the tree hole even if he wanted to come back later. It would be a pity if he missed the treasure just like that.
“Ji Ji! Ji Ji!” After coming out of the Jade space, Skybolt pig looked at Lin Yi for a while before running to the pile of bones.
“You’re saying that there’s a treasure inside?” Lin Yi blinked.
Out of an instinctive disgust, a normal person would not want to take a second look at this pile of bones after seeing it. Even a powerful early Foundation Stage expert like him would not want to turn over this pile of bones at all, let alone think that there was something under it.
“Ji Ji!” The pig nodded.
Lin Yi didn’t hesitate and walked up to the pile of bones. As expected, there was a black bag hidden under the bones. It was not big, about the size of a shoe box.
He opened the bag-it was a blood-red, sand-like thing, and there was a weird aura about it that he’d never seen before. He turned to Skybolt pig,”What is this?”
Skybolt pig shook his head, dipped his hoof into the dark-colored tree bark, and wrote on the ground,””I don’t know what it is, but I was awakened by its aura. It should be a very rare treasure.”
“Oh? “That’s interesting …”Lin Yi decided to stop thinking about it since they were in a dangerous situation. He put the bag into the Jade space.
If he was not mistaken, this bag of things should be the spoils of war from the pile of bones on the ground. It might be a precious treasure that they had spent countless efforts to obtain. However, they did not expect to die in this tree hole trap on their way back.
Lin Yi couldn’t help but feel a sense of danger at the thought-he’d end up like these people if he dawdled any longer.
However, just as he was about to leave, the Jade started to alert him. Skybolt pig squeaked and hid behind him. Lin Yi turned around and saw a suffocating figure at the entrance of the tree.
