It's just a simulation game, how did the fairy become real?

Jiang Li: "What's wrong?"

Hua Jingyun: "Doesn't it look normal?"

“I don’t see any problems with it,” Su Chen chimed in.

"Look here."

Jin Bufan pointed to the river.

"The drop at the edge of the cliff is huge, so the water flow should be very rapid."

However, the river's flow is very slow.

Jin Bufan's reminder made the three of them realize that their attention was entirely focused on finding cultivators or other secret realms, and they hadn't paid any attention to this seemingly ordinary but completely wrong thing.

"Jin Bufan, go into the water and search along the entire river for any strange-looking parts."

The river's flow is so abnormal; something must have changed the rules.

Without saying a word, Jin Bufan went straight into the water.

The inability to find Tianzheng Gate had been a huge source of pressure for him, but now that he had finally found a possible clue, Jin Bufan naturally couldn't refuse.

The three of them waited on the shore for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, until Jin Bufan emerged from the water again.

There was no need to ask; just by looking at Jin Bufan's expression, the three of them could roughly guess the outcome.

"I searched the bottom of the water carefully and found nothing amiss; everything looked perfectly normal."

There are no signs of erosion on the riverbed, which perfectly matches the current characteristics of this river.

As for array formations and magical artifacts, Jin Bufan also searched for them in detail, but there was nothing at the bottom of the river except for broken stones.

"If there's nothing wrong in the river, could it be that we're looking in the wrong direction?"

According to Jin Bufan, the riverbed of this river has no trace of erosion, which means that it was already like this the moment the river started flowing.

Su Chen's gaze returned to the little white fox.

The little guy was still looking up at the cliff, as if something on it was attracting it.

"Everyone, step aside a bit, I'm going to split this cliff open and see what happens."

As the three retreated, Su Chen drew his sword.

His solitary figure had already reached a high level of mastery; opening a mountain was merely a casual matter for him.

What he was really wary of was whether there might be problems inside the cliff.

As a sword aura swept across, a large section of smooth rock was cut off from the cliff.

"Nothing?"

"How could this be?"

"Is this little thing up to something?"

Jin Bufan had just finished muttering those words when the little white fox turned its head and stared straight at him.

"Why are you looking at me?"

Jin Bufan felt guilty and wanted to move away, but he didn't expect the little white fox's gaze to follow him.

Su Chen also sensed something was wrong. When his divine sense swept over, he discovered that there was something invisible behind Jin Bufan.

"careful!"

Su Chenyin followed the sword, and before Jin Bufan could react, Su Chenyin's sword had already pierced past his face.

The next instant, everyone felt the power that had erupted.

"Demon aura?"

Is there a demon around here?

Jiang Li frowned. When Su Chen was conducting experiments on the mountain, she had come into contact with all those demonic beasts, but none of them had such a strong demonic aura.

In other words, there is a high possibility that a demonic beast with power that has reached the limits of heaven and earth is hiding among them.

"No, it's not a demon."

It's just pure demonic energy.

Su Chen had fought against him, so his experience was the most direct.

Based on his experience, this was simply demonic energy.

But its concentration was far beyond his comprehension.

Even in Daosheng's era, the most powerful demonic beasts seemed unable to condense such a rich and pure demonic aura.

It can even harm people using only its demonic energy.

"look up!"

Jin Bufan looked up at the cliff and saw that rocks were actually "growing" on the originally smooth cut surface.

The stone grew extremely fast; in just a few breaths, the cut-off rock had already grown back by 30%.

"Trying to hide yourself?"

I refuse to believe it, what could possibly be in there?

Su Chen leaped into the air, unleashing countless sword energies that bombarded the cliff face.

In less than half an incense stick's time, Su Chen had carved a huge hole in the cliff, which was more than ten feet high.

"The demonic aura around us is getting stronger and stronger; there must be something inside the mountain."

However, we can't continue down this reckless path.

When Su Chen wanted to continue, Hua Jingyun stopped him.

The demonic aura grew increasingly intense, and some small wild beasts a short distance away all went into a frenzy.

If we keep digging like this, we might not find anything.

"The little guy's gaze kept wandering around. Maybe the thing isn't in the mountains; it might be right next to us."

Jiang Li kept her eyes fixed on the little white fox.

As Su Chen split the mountain, the little guy's gaze began to wander and then remain fixed on the mountain.

The trouble should end it.

Since it was the little guy who brought them here, perhaps only it can help them find the things.

Chapter 161 The Guardian

"But no matter how I look at it, I can't see any problem."

Jiang Li stared at the spot where the little fox was looking, but no matter how she searched, that area was completely empty.

"I can't see anything either."

Hua Jingyun sighed inwardly, unable to sense anything other than the dense demonic aura.

"Don't look at me, I can't find it either."

Su Chen gave a wry smile. His senses were more refined than others, but apart from demonic energy, he couldn't detect anything else.

The area the little fox was staring at seemed to have nothing but demonic energy.

"Now what?

Should we continue waiting?

Jiang Li pressed for an answer.

The cliff is still under restoration, and at this rate, it will probably take a while longer.

"We'll see."

Su Chen considered it for a moment, then stood still and silently watched the mountain gradually recover.

He had already tried cutting directly through the mountain.

It has no effect other than causing destruction.

There's no reason why the little white fox would lead them this far just to see the meaningless red fruit.

As the mountain continues to recover, the originally dense demonic aura is also rapidly dissipating.

It was as if the not-so-high cliff in front of them was a huge stone used to suppress the demonic energy.

"Stop looking, lead us to find it."

Su Chen patted the little white fox's head. The little white fox looked at Su Chen strangely, and then rolled its eyes at him.

It was as if they were speechless at Su Chen's stupidity.

Su Chen raised an eyebrow. He was actually looked down upon by a little thing?

This guy hasn't even developed any intelligence!

Just as Su Chen was about to say something, he saw the little white fox suddenly move.

The little guy strode nimbly across the cliff as if it were flat ground.

It quickly climbed to a certain position.

Su Chen and the others followed closely behind. The little guy only scratched the cliff a few times, and something that looked somewhat familiar appeared in front of Su Chen.

"A fox statue?"

"How come I didn't see this thing just now?"

Su Chen was stunned for a moment.

This statue is almost identical to the one he saw in the underground palace of the Nanlang royal family.

He hadn't seen the fox statue at all before he leveled the cliff.

Su Chen carefully cleared the rocks off the mountainside.

There are actually nine other similar fox statues.
