Strange Stories

Chapter 564 Split up
Junior sister's colorful auspicious cloud flies slower, but its advantage is that it is much more stable.

However, her swordsmanship and body movements are better than Lin Jue's. She has practiced the Five Elements Spiritual Technique and her physique is stronger than Lin Jue. She does not need the spiritual cloud to help her fight. It is just a tool for her to travel. In addition, women like beautiful things, so this colorful cloud is suitable for her.

No matter how slow it is, it is still a spiritual cloud carrying immortals, so traveling two thousand miles a day is no problem.

Before they knew it, the two of them had already traveled overseas on a cloud.

After leaving the land, the view became extremely vast. The sky was vast, the sea was vast, and there was no end in sight. The sea and the sky were one color, and it was endless.

Away from the land, even the sea disappeared.

"Remember Third Senior Brother said that the place where he found Long Bo was between the East China Sea and the South China Sea, 8,000 miles from the ground." The little sister stood on the cloud, looking around blankly, "How can we find Third Senior Brother and Long Bo Country in such a vast place?"

So much time has passed that the claw marks that the fox had left on Third Brother's jade horse and Princess Hua's palace box have all been worn away by wind and frost.

"Not urgent."

Lin Jue thought for a moment and called out:
"Chen Niu, Chen Niu."

Silently, a little ghost in brown appeared out of nowhere.

However, as soon as it appeared, it turned its head around and looked up and down. Looking at the complete semicircular sky with a little cloud floating in it, and the semicircular sea with just a few waves below, the little ghost's face showed visibly confused expression as he looked at Lin Jue.

Where did this bring it?

"I can't find the way..."

Chen Niu said blankly.

"Do you know Longbo Country?"

"I can't find the way..."

"Can't find it?" Lin Jue said, "Then go ask for directions."

"I'm going to ask for directions..."

Silently, the little ghost disappeared again.

Lin Jue stretched out his hand and summoned a huge thundercloud above the endless blue sea and sky:

"Let's split up and look for it. If Junior Sister finds it first, she can burn the Chen Niu Talisman. If Fox finds it first, she can come find me first. If I find it first, I will wait for you here, or ask Chen Niu to take me to find you."

The fox looked serious and thought for a moment, then suddenly shook his head, revealing several fox heads, all staring at Lin Jue:

"Is that how it is divided?"

"Canopy..."

Lin Jue directly transformed into four Lin Jues and flew to the thundercloud.

The thundercloud then split into three more.

The original body in the middle stood on the largest one, and the three clones each stood on one.

Seeing this, the fox no longer acted stubbornly, and several fox heads moved out of their bodies. However, the heads did not fall off, but instead they moved out of their original bodies with new and complete bodies.

As Xiaohua looked in surprise, six more foxes soon appeared on the colorful clouds, making a total of seven with the original one.

A fox just walked out and found that its fur was a little bit rough, so it lowered its head and licked it quickly; one fox was lazy, and after taking a few steps, it bent over, yawned, and stretched; two foxes started playing with each other as soon as they came down, like lion dances; one fox turned its head to look at Lin Jue, one fox walked to the clouds and looked down curiously, and another fox turned its head to look at Xiaohua.

Xiaohua was stunned by what she saw.

"time to go."

The fox in the middle shouted.

The foxes knew what was important and what was not, and all of a sudden, the foxes that were licking their fur, stretching, playing, and looking around all stopped what they were doing, and then, following the fox in the middle, they lightly jumped from the colorful cloud toward the thundercloud next to it.

"Canopy..."

The thundercloud naturally split into seven more clouds, each holding a fox.

"There are still a few fox paw prints left. They should be not far from here. Foxes, go and look for them first." The fox in the middle said, "I'll go first."

Then came the voices of many foxes:

"We're leaving first too."

Xiaohua opened her mouth slightly, her eyes wide open, and shook her head slightly, looking in different directions, watching the seven thunderclouds carrying the seven Fuyaos quickly go away.

"We're leaving too." said a Lin Jue.

"You should focus on going to the north." said a Lin Jue.

"The other three directions are left to us." said another Lin Jue.

"..."

Caili couldn't help but look up at her junior sister.

The junior sister reached out and scratched her head.

"Senior brother..."

"how?"

Lin Jue asked the last one.

The junior sister scratched her head and said bluntly: "You may have gone a little crazy because of Fuyao."

"Farewell!"

All the Lin Jue said in unison and flew away on the clouds at the same time.

He and Fuyao have a tacit understanding. Seeing that Fuyao was mainly going to the east and south, he went to the west. Fuyao also knew that he would make such a choice, so it would only search in the east and south directions.

The junior sister continued to lower her head and look at Caili.

"Let's split up as well."

"? Is it divided that way as well?"

"I don't have that ability."

"I do not have either!"

Silently, the colorful clouds split into two.

"If you encounter wind and waves, remember to avoid them. If you encounter a monster on the sea, don't fight it. Fly back to me." "You too!"

Two colorful clouds, one on the left and one on the right, both went towards the north.

……

Overseas is still uncivilized, with many strange creatures similar to those on ancient land, as well as various wonderful countries.

There are also many monsters lurking here.

The downside for any monster that practices here is that they have no civilization or culture, no practice system, and no social channels. Most of them just follow their instincts to absorb the spiritual energy of heaven and earth and the essence of the sun and the moon, and they are also very lonely. The upside is that almost no one disturbs them, and no gods or Taoists come to cause trouble.

Therefore, those with good talents can achieve success through long-term practice.

At this moment, a big demon encountered a strange thing in his sleep.

The dragon lying on the seabed, the black turtle floating in the water, the crab occupying a small island, the shark king controlling thousands of giant sharks...

I shouldn’t have been dreaming, but I did.

The dream was also very strange——

Suddenly, a little man in brown clothes and a brown round hat appeared out of nowhere and asked them:
"This is where?"

Some monsters can understand what it says.

Some monsters can't understand words, but they can actually understand what it means.

But when asked "Where is the Kingdom of Dragon King", some monsters were awakened, while some monsters answered in a daze, and when they woke up, they were still confused.

After all, such a dream is too absurd.

Who would dream of a little man asking for directions?
Just think of it as my own imagination.

……

Lin Jue also knew how to ask for directions.

Although the several Lin Jues were in different directions and at least dozens of miles apart, they all rode their clouds close to the sea.

A huge black and white killer whale poked its head out and looked him in the eye. An old turtle was floating on the sea with some seaweed, looking up and squinting at him. There were also octopuses and dolphins that surfaced.

Some Lin Jue asked directly:
"Do you know the Dragon Country? It's the island where huge giants live?"

Some of Lin Jue waved their sleeves and used magic to create the phantom of the Longbo giant in the air, asking them where the road was.

Although the method of gathering beasts and taming birds may not be useful for these aquatic creatures, Lin Jue has already achieved enlightenment and has a natural affinity for all things in the world. With patient questioning, he will always find a way to make them understand.

The killer whale pointed him in a direction.

The old turtle didn't answer and sank into the water.

The octopus was silent for a long time, then suddenly spilled ink, but refused to leave, as if it was telling him in this way that there was danger over there.

The dolphin was equally timid and sped away.

……

At the same time, on an island, a Taoist who looked to be in his thirties or forties was walking in a simple "palace" built of stone and wood, holding a small sword smaller than an ordinary dagger.

The palace was built crudely, but was very tall. The passage alone was more than ten feet high.

Sirens often travel through it.

In order to prevent the things on his body from shaking, the third senior brother tied the wine gourd around his waist tightly, and stuffed the jade horse and the soul-nourishing bead containing Princess Hua into his arms.

"Rumble..."

There were scattered and intense footsteps coming from the front.

The third senior brother quickly turned sideways and shrank into the crevice of the rock.

A group of crabs nearly ten feet tall walked towards them in an orderly manner.

Suddenly, a crab stopped and although it did not move, its bulging eyes turned a little to the side and looked into the cracks in the rocks, as if it had noticed something unusual.

But when it looked carefully, it couldn't see anything.

As the other crabs gradually walked away with the rumbling footsteps, it withdrew its gaze and quickly followed them.

The figure of the third senior brother emerged from the stone and walked back to the crevice.

Junior brother's earth escape technique is still useful.

A faint female voice sounded from my chest:
"It's too dangerous here. These marines might be able to fight against the heavenly soldiers, which means the owner here might be an overseas demon king who has achieved enlightenment. Without the Nine Heavens' suppression and elimination, I don't know how many years he has practiced here. It's better for you to come here after you have achieved enlightenment."

"It's all here..."

The third brother replied in a low voice.

This doesn't mean that if you don't continue after coming here, it will be a wasted trip.

But he had already come here, met Long Bo, and even found Long Bo's remnant soul. He knew how they were harmed by the demon king, and there was already Long Bo's remnant soul willing to follow him. If he left easily at this time, he would not only be sorry for himself, but also for those remnant souls.

How can you make people follow you just by talking?
People follow you, how can you feel at ease if you don't avenge them?
This was the principle he had taught his junior fellow apprentice when he had taught him how to carve beans into soldiers. How could he not understand it?

This is why Third Senior Brother is suitable for carving beans into soldiers, and why there are still residual souls willing to follow him wherever he goes.

Of course, even if the demon king who has achieved enlightenment is not good at magic, even if he has a way to escape, even if he finds the opportunity and the method to restrain himself, he cannot be killed easily.

But at least burn this place down!
"Do you feel tightness in your chest?"

"It's not stuffy, it's quite warm."

"Um……"

As the third senior brother was speaking, the passage suddenly trembled.

Countless crabs, shrimps, sea beasts, fish monsters and Long Bo filed out of the passage, and then took turns to check and guard various places in the passage, as if they had discovered him or were stimulated by something.

An ugly fish monster, more than ten feet tall, strode over with a steel fork in hand. On its head grew a tentacle that was curved like a fishing rod. The tip of the tentacle glowed with light, like a lantern. If the place they were in was not unsafe at the moment, he would have called out Princess Hua and asked her to come and see this wonder together.

However, just as the ugly fish monster walked past the crevice where the third senior brother was hiding, the lantern hanging on its head suddenly lit up.
