Chapter 663: Strange Stories from a Chinese Studio - Fairy 35

Seeing that his immediate superior was so frightened by Ruyi that he fled on the spot, and seeing that the golden-armored monster, which he was no match for, was easily killed by Ruyi, Qingyi dared not think of anything else and just wanted to escape. Seeing that Ruyi was chasing after His Majesty Zhigong and did not notice him, Qingyi quickly flew towards the exit.

"We can't stay here any longer, we must escape quickly!" At this moment, Qingyi no longer cared about the companions who had been with her for a long time in the world of the painted wall. She had finally transformed from a portrait of a beauty into the spirit she is today, able to move, laugh and play. She did not want to turn back into that unconscious stone carving at all.

While maintaining his flying speed, Zhi Gong looked back from time to time to see if anyone was catching up. After looking several times and making sure that no one was catching up, he slowed down his speed with relief and soon stopped above a remote courtyard and landed in the yard.

Judging from the stone wall, this courtyard cannot be found at all without careful search. It is located in the lower right corner of the entire stone mural, far away from the pavilions and buildings in the center. There is not only a river in the middle, but also many mountains. The place where it appears in the stone wall is also blocked by many tree branches, with only a little outline of the eaves visible.

If Zhi Gong had not been familiar with the entire world of painted walls, this place would never have been discovered.

Out of caution, even though Zhi Gong did not find any traces, he still set up a poisonous fog trap in the courtyard just in case. He entered the rockery in the center of the courtyard only after everything was ready.

After entering the rockery, Zhi Gong knocked on the wall of the rockery skillfully, twice on the left, three times on the right, and finally five times on the ground. After completing this set of actions, the rockery suddenly cracked in the middle, revealing a cave opening downwards. A stone staircase extended downwards all the way. The cave was pitch black and nothing could be seen.

"It seems that the thing has not been discovered by anyone." Zhi Gong carefully checked the trap at the entrance. It was the same as the last time he left. He was sure that the thing hidden in this place had not been taken away like the boundary beads. Zhi Gong finally let go of the worry that had been hanging in his heart.

He walked quickly into the cave entrance. As the footsteps faded away, the entire rockery returned to its previous appearance. Ruyi followed Zhigong's breath and caught up with him in the sky. When he was halfway through the flight, he found that the speed of the previous evil spirit suddenly slowed down. Before Ruyi could catch up, the evil spirit suddenly disappeared.

In the remote courtyard, Ruyi scanned back and forth with his spiritual sense several times. In order to prevent the escaped monster from having anything on its body that could block the detection of the spiritual sense, Ruyi also searched the entire courtyard personally, but still found nothing.

"Strange, from what I perceive, the aura of that monster disappeared in this area. Why is there nothing here? Where did he hide?"

Ruyi was sure that the monster had disappeared nearby, but she had searched for it several times and found nothing. From a spatial perspective, this courtyard was located in the corner of the entire painted wall space. Apart from the direction she had just chased from, there was only the space wall on the other side. Unless the monster could tear the space wall, it must still be in this courtyard.

But after searching for a long time without finding it, Ruyi began to get a little impatient. He thought carefully and decided that since he had already got the boundary bead, after successfully refining it, this small world of painted wall would belong to him completely. Then, no matter where the monster was hiding, Ruyi could find him with just a thought.

"In that case, let him go for now. I'll deal with him after I've dealt with the other little monsters!"

I have been here for quite a while. If I don't go out, Zhiqiu Yiye will be worried. I should do something as soon as possible. Thinking of this, Ruyi immediately rushed to the place where the evil spirit was sensed by his spiritual sense.

The goblins outside the cave were frightened by His Majesty's angry appearance earlier. They had no idea what had happened to make His Majesty so angry and to punish everyone harshly without any reason. Now that they had not received the order to leave and heal their wounds, the goblins did not dare to leave on their own and could only kneel outside the cave and wait for His Majesty's decision.

The same goes for the armored monsters. No monster dares to return to their residence without His Majesty's order.

What's more, it's safer for everyone to be together!

The goblins and monsters present are not stupid. The most powerful person in the entire Painted Wall World is His Majesty Zhigong. Apart from His Majesty Zhigong, the most powerful ones are the Golden Armor Monster and the Green Clothes Monster. Although they don't know what happened, the three monsters with the highest magical powers have already been dealt with. Wouldn't it be more dangerous to leave these little monsters with low magical powers behind instead of gathering together?

When Ruyi arrived, what she saw was a scene of all the monsters kneeling on the ground. Although she didn't know what was going on, this situation was a very good thing for Ruyi. She didn't care which monster had the most evil spirit and which didn't. She just used an enhanced version of the Thunderbolt Spell, which instantly electrocuted everyone.

Just as Ruyi had imagined, all the goblins and monsters in the entire painting were pitifully weak. With one strike of his Thunderbolt, almost all of them were destroyed. Except for a few that were far away or had higher cultivation and were only injured, the rest all died and turned back into their original forms, leaving a ball of light that only Ruyi could see.

“Hahahahahahahaha, so many balls of light, send it out!”

Ruyi went down happily to pick up the ball of light. Although Ruyi picked up the ball of light dropped by the golden armored monster when she killed it before, she had no time to absorb it because she was in a hurry to chase the fleeing Zhigong.

Ruyi picked up the loot while finishing off the still-alive monsters. After there were no survivors left, Ruyi finally had time to deal with the harvest.

"Why are all these monsters various kinds of beetles?" Ruyi was a little surprised looking at the insect corpses on the ground. It is rare for insects to become monsters, and here are all monsters transformed from insects. No matter how you think about it, there is something wrong.

"No, that's not right. Only the male monsters are monsters transformed from beetles, not the female monsters."

Ruyi glanced around casually and suddenly found a lot of painted stone carvings on the ground. She didn't notice them at first because these stone carvings were very small and were almost completely blocked by insect corpses that were several times larger than normal insects. It was only after Ruyi moved these insect corpses away that she realized something was wrong.

She picked up a piece of stone carving and held it in her hand, and found that it was the same size as the portrait of the person that should have been on the stone wall outside, "So that's how it is!"

Ruyi suddenly understood that all the female goblins here were originally the characters in this mural. They were not supposed to have intelligence, but for some reason they turned into another form of "fairies in the painting".

"No wonder the male monsters here are all so ugly, but the female monsters are all so beautiful. It turns out they are the people in the paintings."

The souls of insects were not as heavy as those of ordinary monsters, but Ruyi was still very full after eating nearly a hundred of them. And in the light balls left by those female monsters, there was nothing but the power of merit. Ruyi guessed that this was related to the fact that these female monsters were originally portrayed as having no souls.
