Chapter 267 The Mysterious Jungle 3
Yunxi wiped her hand across her storage bag and placed a giant rhinoceros and a jackal on the ground, asking Diandian and Feixia to see if they could spot anything unusual.

The little pink nose twitched incessantly as it sniffed around the enormous rhinoceros and jackal, and the Flying Cloud Butterfly shook the pearly powder from its wings onto the two giant beasts.

Yunxi deftly cut off the rhinoceros horn and examined it carefully. She remembered clearly that the horn had flashed briefly and neutralized her deadly cudgel attack.

Once she held it in her hand, Yunxi realized that the rhinoceros horn was very heavy, but to the naked eye it looked no different from an ordinary rhinoceros horn, except that it was much larger.

"Huh? Did I see it wrong?"

Yunxi muttered to herself, then scanned the area again with her divine sense, but still found nothing. She recalled the inscriptions she had found on the bones of the black panther after the group of primitive people hunted it. She thought that perhaps because the rhinoceros had been dead for too long, some things had dissipated.

This made Yunxi somewhat annoyed. She should have examined the rhinoceros beast carefully immediately after hunting it down; perhaps she would have made a significant discovery.

Undeterred, Yunxi unleashed a lightning strike on the rhinoceros horn. The moment the lightning struck the horn, a faint white light appeared on it, blocking the attack. This made Yunxi's eyes light up.

Just now, her divine sense had captured a fleeting inscription on the rhinoceros horn. It was because of the power of this inscription that the rhinoceros horn was able to block her attack.

Startled, Dian Dian immediately jumped onto Yun Xi's shoulder and asked:
"Master, what just happened?"

Yun Xi replied:

"I think I've discovered the secret of these giant beasts. In addition to their enormous size, these mysterious inscriptions also enhance their power."

The rhinoceros horn was able to withstand my deadly cudgel attack because, enhanced by inscriptions, it was equivalent to a magical treasure, allowing it to fight me on equal footing. However, after they died, the power of these inscriptions seemed to weaken.

Dian Dian scratched her ear and asked:

"Where is the jackal's inscription hidden?"

Yunxi thought for a moment and then said:
"Jackals are very fast, and their main weapons are teeth and claws. I'll find out once I try it."

Yunxi then deftly removed the jackal's sharp teeth and unleashed another lightning strike. This time, the lightning strike charred the teeth without encountering any resistance. She then tried attacking the claws, turning them into charcoal, but still did not produce a result similar to that of the rhinoceros beast.

"Could it be that I guessed wrong?"

After circling the jackal carcass once, Dian Dian said:

"Master, it's fast. Try attacking its limbs."

Yunxi raised her hand and unleashed a lightning strike, targeting the jackal's limbs. This time, there was a reaction; the dead jackal's limbs glowed with a layer of blue light, barely blocking the lightning strike.

Yunxi probed very carefully with her divine sense and found that the inscriptions appeared on the leg bones of the jackal's limbs, somewhat similar to those on the black panther.

"Could this inscription be specifically designed to enhance speed? Who carved it?"

New questions arose, but unfortunately no one could answer Yunxi's questions.

While she was still in a daze, the two beast corpses covered in the powder of the Flying Cloud Butterfly were slowly shrinking.

Dian Dian immediately shouted:
"Master, Master, look! Feixia has shrunk them."

Feixia had already landed on Yunxi's hair bun, and then transmitted her voice:

“Master, these giant beasts did not grow to such a size naturally. They must have absorbed something that strengthened their bodies. After they died, they returned to their normal state because of my butterfly powder neutralizing it.”

Looking at the two beasts that had shrunk in size, Yunxi stroked her chin and asked, "Feixia, do you think your butterfly powder could have achieved this neutralizing effect if they were alive?"

Feixia fluttered her butterfly wings and said:

“Master, it shouldn’t be very effective, because as long as they’re alive, they can absorb that energy from their surroundings and fight against the butterfly powder, which allows them to maintain their robust physique.”

"Feixia, your analysis makes a lot of sense. We can try it out tonight and see if your prediction is accurate."

This jungle is really interesting. It has a rich spiritual energy, but neither the people nor the beasts here rely on spiritual power for cultivation. Moreover, the spiritual energy is mixed with other substances, which makes the beasts huge and ferocious.

The beasts' powerful attacks are due to the mysterious inscriptions on their bones, and perhaps the primitive people were able to survive in this place for the same reason.

However, animals exhibit two different behaviors during the day and at night, with nighttime animals being more ferocious and warlike. It seems that nighttime is their domain. One wonders what those primitive humans would be like at night.”

Yunxi recounted her discoveries one by one.

Dian Dian scratched her ear and said:
"Master, why don't we go check out the dwelling of the primitive people you mentioned? Maybe we'll find something there?"

Yunxi also wanted to go and see, but she didn't want to go on her own initiative; instead, she hoped to be invited. So she said to Feixia:

"Ask Little Flying Butterfly what the people of that tribe were doing last night?"

Feixia fluttered her butterfly wings and said:

"Master, I have lost contact with that child."

Upon hearing this, Yunxi raised an eyebrow. Had the Little Flying Butterfly been captured or killed? But it was a second-tier spirit beast; it shouldn't have been killed so easily. She then asked:

"Could the little butterfly be affected by the night here and lose control of itself, thus severing its connection with you?"

Feixia twitched her antennae and replied somewhat uncertainly:

"maybe!"

Yunxi rubbed her hands together and said to the two beast corpses on the ground:

"I'll prepare them first. Even if we're going to visit, we can't come empty-handed. I saw them hunting the black panther, so they must be eating the meat. These will be our gifts."

After saying that, he pulled out a dagger and began to dismember the rhinoceros and jackal on the ground.

Dian Dian covered its eyes with its paws, thinking that its owner was actually quite cruel.

Just as Yunxi was cutting up the beast meat, Wei Yunqing also came out of her hiding cave. Last night, she chose to hide in the cave where an array was set up and did not go out to fight the giant beast that attacked the array. However, she did not cultivate either, and spent her first night in the jungle in a state of anxiety.

She waited until dawn when the giant beast left and confirmed that it was safe before removing the formation. Although she had consumed a lot of spirit stones in one night, she felt it was worth it.

After being teleported here, the first thing she did was to find Sheng Yuhong and then naturally team up with him. She even marked him, but after entering this place, she found that she couldn't sense the mark she left.

Immediately afterwards, she was attacked by a rock bull. This rock bull was different from the spirit beasts and demon cultivators in the cultivation world. It could not mobilize natural attributes, but its attack power was very strong. Her attacks were practically just tickling the bull.

Finally, she used a high-grade third-tier explosive talisman to kill the rock bull. To prevent attracting other giant beasts, she didn't even have time to meditate. She just swallowed a spirit-replenishing pill and started looking for a temporary place to stay.
