Misguided practice of sinister cultivation techniques: Slander! The problem lies with you all, not me!-Chapter 1004 - 523: Is This Still a Proper Wuxia World?_2
The stone ghost whose head was twisted off by the Murong brothers didn't move after its head was kicked into the river.
This battle appeared suddenly, came quickly, and ended just as fast, leaving the surrounding area silent once more.
Duan Yun glanced at the Murong brothers' crotch and asked, "Are you alright?"
The Murong brothers responded with an indifferent expression, "It's fine, this thing can't break through an inch of my iron crotch."
"That's good."
Almost at the same moment, the Murong brothers turned their face slightly to the side, their features nearly scrunched together.
It would be a lie to say it didn't hurt after such a vicious attack.
However, when you are out and about, your pride is yours to maintain!
Since they've already encountered ghosts, does it mean they're very close to the Ghost Mother's territory?
At this time, Duan Yun began to inspect the corpses of the stone ghosts.
Just like the Murong brothers said, they had hair.
But most of their hair had been retracted into their scalps, and after awakening, their hair exploded out, making Duan Yun think of the flamboyant hairstyles of his youth.
Their corpses were somewhat peculiar too.
Their exterior shell and part of the inside were stone-like, resembling stone statues, but their insides were not.
Inside was not pure flesh and blood, but something pitch black.
Seeing this dark mass, both Duan Yun and the Murong brothers felt like vomiting.
Stone God Mole!
Their blood and flesh seemed to be completely overtaken by the Stone God Mole, filled with this dark substance.
Seeing this, Duan Yun couldn't help but think, isn't this Stone God Mole a bit like cancer?
If these stone ghosts were once normal people and turned into ghosts after consuming the Stone God Mole, then this Stone God Mole was like cancer cells, rapidly spreading and expanding within, turning people into ghosts and flesh into the mole.
Duan Yun watched with disgust, waved his hand, and the Heroic Fire Lotus fell onto the corpses, igniting them.
They didn't care if this would expose them.
In any case, they've arrived!
The Young Hero continued on the river journey.
The murky river water easily evoked nostalgia for past beauty, but neither Duan Yun nor the Murong brothers were in the mood for it.
Because this place was truly insidious and disgusting.
The Murong brothers liked killing entire families, and this time, not only did they want to kill but also set fires, at least burn down everything disgusting in this place.
As they went deeper, the river became calmer, and the channel widened.
Here, it even looked like a lake.
In reality, this murky water was very beautiful when it spread out like a sheet.
Ahead, after Duan Yun and the Murong brothers passed through a gourd-shaped entrance, they suddenly halted their steps.
Floating on the water's surface, even Duan Yun showed a shocked expression.
A vast spherical cavern appeared before them, the back half of the gourd.
Here, it seemed like the end of the river due to the cavern's immense height, making humans inside seem insignificant.
But that wasn't enough to make Duan Yun and the Murong brothers look this way.
What shocked them was the form of the cavern.
The cavern walls were covered with numerous round holes.
The holes were densely packed on the walls, making one's skin crawl just by looking at them.
Crucially, each cavern was the same size and shape, perfectly round, as if drawn by a compass.
These near-identical caverns distributed here brought an unspeakable fear.
It was a fear that combined trypophobia with claustrophobia.
Those holes, appearing like eyes or mouths, if looked at for too long, seemed not like holes.
Like seeing a familiar word but suddenly feeling it's strange.
The Murong brothers felt somewhat suffocated in this environment, exhaled a long breath, and said, "What do we do now?"
The river reached an end here; if these holes lead to the Ghost Mother's lair, which should they choose?
Duan Yun couldn't help but say, "How did that sneaky rat get in?"
The Murong brothers frowned, "Does he know some grave-robbing methods we don't, able to determine the correct direction?"
Duan Yun pondered, "It's possible, but he once mentioned that ever since entering that murky river, he felt like he was dreaming."
"Right, dreaming, hallucinations."
Duan Yun said, "Listen, you can hear the sound of water, and there's a lot of it."
All along the journey, Duan Yun did not stop using the Great Dream Heart Method, ensuring he didn't unknowingly fall into traps.
"So, you could dream your way in too." Duan Yun looked at the Murong brothers and said.
"Me, dream?"
Duan Yun's eyes focused, and the brainwave vibrations from the Great Dream Heart Sutra retracted within his skull, keeping him clear-headed.
The Murong brothers suddenly lost their protection.
He no longer randomly shouted, "I want to be a Great Hero!", instead, he noticed the water sounds becoming more apparent.
Unlike at the start of the river route, where the sound came from one direction. 𝕗𝐫𝚎𝗲𝘄𝐞𝕓𝐧𝕠𝘃𝕖𝐥.𝐜𝚘𝚖
Now, the water sounds came from all directions.
When he looked at the round holes again, they seemed to become mouths.
Mumbling mouths.
Suddenly, these "mouths" changed.
They turned into vivid butterfly shapes.
Butterfly shapes!
Jade Guanyin!
So beautiful! So many!
The Murong brothers were entirely immersed in this feeling, unable to extricate themselves.
In Duan Yun's eyes, the Murong brothers' eyes had already lost focus.
No, not lost focus; their eyes were filled with a peculiar light.
A slightly lecherous light.
His whole demeanor looked like a perverted man who had lost his mind.
Duan Yun knew he had entered the state.
Looking at everything in front of him, Duan Yun couldn't help but marvel at how for so many years, the Ghost Mother made people choose silence, and no one had a solution.
In this place, even an immortal would find it difficult to handle.
At this moment, with a splash, the Murong brothers moved.
Moving, his eyes glazed over, his body leaning forward, his mouth even forming a pucker, looking even more like a lecher.
"Butterfly, fly slowly!"
"The Young Hero is coming to chase you!"
At this time, the Murong brothers were already chanting passionately, swimming forward.
Despite being in a "sleepwalking" state, his movements were deft, as if tailing a beautiful young girl, swiftly diving into a cave.
Duan Yun quickly followed.
To keep the Murong brothers from "waking," he had to stay not too far, not too close, behind.
This cave wasn't small; one could walk through it upright.
The tunnel Wei Wuxing dug was just right, looking as if it had been created with a giant compass.
The cave walls were even smoother and finer here.
It reminded Duan Yun of the holes drilled on metal during lathe workshops in a past life.
So round.
At this moment, the Murong brothers were already waving their arms, making butterfly-flying gestures, chasing ahead.
His consciousness was nearly the same.
He dreamt that the Jade Guanyin spread her legs, constantly revealing butterflies to attract him.
As the Green Saber Young Hero, despite being pure and untainted, due to the unique circumstances, he couldn't resist the attraction.
The Young Hero couldn't resist the allure of butterflies.
In fact, this was the Murong brothers' weakness.
Even on Yellow Jade Island before, despite having strength equal to Duan Yun's, the Murong brothers couldn't kill the Jade Guanyin.
Because beautiful women were inherently his weakness.
It's often said that heroes struggle with beautiful women, and characters like Duan Yun, focused solely on killing, regardless of beauty, are truly rare.
The Murong brothers chased quickly, and Duan Yun followed quickly too.
Then he couldn't help but show a surprised expression, rubbing his eyes.
Because ahead, the round cave was reflecting metallic light.
He had just described how this cave was like metal holes carved by lathes in a past life.
And now, it looked even more so.
Duan Yun stood in this metal-lined round cave, couldn't help but marvel, "Is this still a proper martial arts world?"
