Chapter 165: Dangerous
After missing the bite, the giant parrot-like beast changed direction and headed straight for her again.
Unable to figure out the situation, Zhou Ling was reluctant to confront it. After all, she didn't know its weaknesses, and her cultivation was not high, so she always felt that her chances of winning were slim.
The air is its territory, and it is not wise to compete with it in speed in the sky, so Zhou Ling decisively put away the magic broom and jumped down.
We have flown out of the swamp. Below us is a dense forest, lush and green, with giant trees with luxuriant branches and leaves, which is perfect for hiding.
It rose up with the wind and swooped down, locking onto a tall tree and a hole on the left side of the trunk.
The tree hole was big enough to accommodate three people, so she hid inside and casually summoned vines to block the hole. If she stayed there quietly for a while, she might be able to outlive the giant parrot-like beast.
But plans are beautiful, but reality is full of flaws.
When she was about to approach the tree hole, a big green head popped out from the tree hole and stared at her for about three seconds.
"Brother! Squeeze!"
The situation is urgent, who cares if there are bugs or not!
Zhou Ling rushed headfirst into it, knocking her and the insect man upside down, but she reacted faster and quickly got up. She used her backhand to make a gesture, and vines took advantage of the power of the tree to climb up and densely cover the entrance of the tree hole.
The insect that was knocked over by Zhou Ling obviously didn't have much intelligence. Although it was huge, it looked stupid and had no temper. When someone squeezed into its hiding place, it just shrank its fat body to make some room for Zhou Ling.
"Thanks."
Zhou Ling knew that the insect couldn't understand, but he still couldn't help but cup his fists towards it.
Although it can be seen that the level of this insect is not high, Zhou Ling is not without the ability to fight it.
But there was no point in fighting this battle. If they fought in this narrow tree hole, she might be pushed out by the enemy and fall into the mouth of the giant beast outside again.
Insects are afraid of birds, that's a normal reaction in the food chain, but she is a human, it would be so embarrassing if she fell out and was eaten by a bird.
The man and the insect curled up into a small ball, waiting for the big parrot circling outside to leave.
The light that poured in through the gaps in the vines gradually dimmed as time went by.
I don’t know how long I waited. Zhou Ling’s hands and feet were numb from squatting there, but the whistling sound of the wings outside still didn’t stop, and was still circling around.
Is it that serious? There is no grudge. Even if it is for food, if it can't catch it here, why not go and look for other prey?
I don't know if my mother has met up with Senior Brother Liu yet. If she doesn't get there soon, how worried will she be? Although my mother can find her direction through her blood, she herself doesn't know the situation here. What if my mother gets into danger on the way here?
She was anxious, but she couldn't get out.
The effect of the sunstone in the air outside has been lost, but the moonstone has begun to emit a soft silvery glow.
Although the sky in the secret realm is fake, the simulation of day and night is still very good. At least it allows the animals and plants here to grow normally.
Looking at the moonlight coming through the gap, Zhou Ling suddenly had an idea and remembered something very important!
The master risked making trouble to stuff the pebble into her hand, but she hasn't taken it out to study it properly yet!
After searching the storage bag for a long time, I finally found the inconspicuous little thing. I took it out and placed it in the palm of my hand, looking at it carefully, but I didn't see anything special.
When I used my spiritual power to probe it, I found it was motionless, like a real little stone.
Zhou Ling refused to give up. She thought her master would never go through so much trouble just to stuff a simple pebble into her hand.
Since her spiritual power couldn't detect the truth, she used her spiritual sense to explore.
……
The tree hole, which had seemed very crowded, suddenly became much more spacious. The big green worm blinked, somewhat confused.
The scene of such a large living creature disappearing out of thin air before its eyes had never happened before in its life.
It tentatively used its fleshy tail to probe in the direction where Zhou Ling had just sat, and found nothingness. It had indeed disappeared, and it was not seeing things!
The only things at the scene were dead branches and rotten leaves in the tree hole, and a small stone that had been rolling slightly and had just stopped.
When Zhou Ling opened her eyes again, she was stunned by the scene in front of her.
Dark pink walls, light pink bed, pink and white pear wood dressing table, and rows of bookshelves painted with light pink and white.
If the layout of her room at Zhijian Peak had not been different, she would have thought she had returned to the room prepared for her by her master!
No, wait, maybe... she was indeed in the room that her master had prepared for her.
Could that inconspicuous little stone with no sense of existence be the room itself?
Space-type magic weapons can accommodate cultivators to enter. Although the method will be more complicated, it is not impossible to achieve.
She had seen this kind of hut introduced in a book, it was called Qiankun House.
It has a small appearance, but it has a lot of things inside and can be turned into a room. It is like a turtle carrying a shell with it when it goes out. Wherever it goes, that is its home.
However, the production process and materials used for this kind of Qiankun House are extremely complicated and rare. The master had never used this kind of house when he traveled before, but now, he actually found one from somewhere, decorated it into this eye-catching pink, and found a way to give it to her!
Her eyes were slightly sour. The master himself was reluctant to use these things, but he always wanted to leave them to her.
But considering her current situation, what her master gave her might be more than just this Qiankun House.
When she first arrived here, she personally confirmed that this secret realm was full of dangers.
Guixu Sect does not know the situation inside the secret realm, but this secret realm has always belonged to Wandao Sect. Wandao Sect should know about the details inside.
Now that she was about to go in, her master was worried about her. Maybe the information he gave her during the chaos was a detailed introduction to the secret realm?
Zhou Ling paced back and forth in the small room, searching here and there, and finally found a jade slip and a booklet in the most conspicuous place on the bookshelf.
Time is of the utmost importance. She sat cross-legged and probed her spiritual consciousness into the jade slip, reading the contents word for word.
After reading it, I couldn't come back to my senses for a long time.
The origin of these twin secret realms turned out to be so huge.
But...is such a confidential thing allowed to be seen by a little disciple like her?
Didn’t it say above that this thing is so confidential that only one sect leader can pass it on to the next? The plans for the disciples to enter the secret realm must also be planned by the sect leader himself.
Can……
How could something so confidential end up in the hands of my master? My master is not the head of the sect!
Now it's even more outrageous. The master stuffed this thing in front of her again.
Could it be that... this is intended to train her to be the next leader?
