Chapter 321 Soul Lost?

In the vast valley, only the two places where Xu Ran and Peregrine Falcon were located were not occupied by the red mist, and the rest were all occupied.

Sensing that something was wrong, Xu Ran immediately restrained the innate energy in his body, preventing it from escaping from his body and keeping it only within the ocean of his spirit.

Although all of it returned to the spiritual ocean, in fact, as long as Xu Ran had a thought, endless innate energy would emerge again.

The peregrine falcon, which was in a state of soul loss, had previously been protected by Xu Ran's innate energy to prevent it from suffering any damage. But now, the red mist was like a robber plundering everywhere, and all substances comparable to the red mist were absorbed.

The scene of the little red snake devouring the dark green mist was still vivid in people's minds. No one knew whether the little red snake would cause any harm to its body after devouring the substance. Even if not, Xu Ran did not dare to take the risk. After all, that was the body of a peregrine falcon, and now its soul was lost.

If something happens to the peregrine falcon's body, even if its soul is recovered later, it will leave endless hidden dangers, which may erupt at any time and may even affect major events.

Therefore, Xu Ran chose the safest approach, which was to take back all the innate energy attached to the surface of his body.

Immediately, he pointed his finger, and a mysterious golden symbol rose from the sky. The patterns on it were so complex that it was dazzling and confusing.

The golden runes carved by Xu Ran floated quickly towards the peregrine falcon. The moment they touched its body, a golden light burst out from the surface of the peregrine falcon's body.

At the moment when the dazzling light rose, the peregrine falcon, which had no breath at all, seemed to have its heart stopped beating. There was no life in its eyes, and it was like a living dead bird.

"If we temporarily seal up Xiaobai's innate energy and Kunpeng bloodline, there shouldn't be any problems!"

Xu Ran murmured as he looked at the peregrine falcon glowing with golden light.

The mysterious rune that just came out of his hand was used to seal the power in the Peregrine Falcon.

After all, it is now in a state of lost soul. Even so, the Kunpeng blood in its body will still perform instinctive protective behavior.

Once the peregrine falcon suffers uncontrollable damage, the Kunpeng bloodline in its body will be subconsciously activated to protect itself. This may be a wonderful place to replenish energy for the heart that is constantly plundering the valley's dark green mist.

If you are not careful, you may be targeted by it, and by then, everything will be too late.

After doing all this, Xu Ran once again turned his gaze to the red heart high above the valley.

Compared to the beginning, this red heart has undergone drastic changes.

The heart is now surrounded by a deep red light, as if it had just escaped from the eighteen levels of hell. There are strands of red threads remaining around the heart. If you look closely, those red threads still have blood and flesh cells on them, as if they had just been torn out of the human body.

Just as Xu Ran was observing carefully.

The blood-red mist seemed to be filled with endless resentment and gluttonous greed. It suddenly broke out from the huge crack in the earth and swarmed towards the bright red heart high in the valley like crazy believers.

In an instant, the red mist condensed into substance and turned into thin lines in the air that glowed red.

These red threads, like nimble red snakes, coiled and entangled with each other, and in a moment, they were woven into an impenetrable blood net that seemed to imprison all things in the world. Anything that touched the blood net would be doomed to destruction. They coiled around the bright red heart, as if trying to drive away all the air around it.

At first, thin red threads suddenly emerged from the cracks in the earth like spider silk, as if summoned by the bright red heart. Like soldiers obeying orders as heavy as mountains, they overcame all difficulties and obstacles and rushed towards the heart from all directions. Every movement was accompanied by an incomprehensible rhythm, as if celebrating.

The front end of the red thread was absorbed the moment it touched the light released by the bright red heart. One of the red threads was the first to wrap around the bright red heart, like a dancer. Its bright red color was eye-catching.

Subsequently.

Two, three, four, countless red threads entwined with each other, interwoven with each other, and superimposed on each other. These red threads were like distinct muscle lines.

Xu Ran was watching the scene, and a picture subconsciously came to his mind. It was the process of a person being woven.

Now, the scene before my eyes is exactly the same as that picture!!!
As more and more red lines appeared, they entangled and intertwined with each other at a faster and faster speed. Finally, in the sky high in the valley, it was like red lightning constantly colliding with each other in the sky, splashing out red light.

In fact, in this process, some are like red threads, rushing towards the heart like flying birds, and some are like craftsmen, slowly weaving the entire framework.

Gradually, above the bright red heart, the outline of a human head slowly appeared. The thin red lines wrapped around the top of the skull and the shape of the face. Soon, a head that looked no different from that of an ordinary person appeared above the heart.

Then, the remaining red lines, like soldiers constantly fighting, extended downwards like lightning. Below the head, the red lines passed directly from left to right, forming a hard line, and gradually, it formed a one-shoulder.

Then, at the shoulder, a thin red line stretched out again, heading downwards and entwining with each other, like plucking the strings of a musical instrument. A pair of palms gradually took shape, entwining ten white and slender fingers.

From the bottom with the heart as the center, extending all the way downward, the red line, like a master who has experienced thousands of carvings, repeatedly interweaves and tightly entwines. Every movement is extremely artistic, as if carving a perfect work of art, carefully outlining a pair of slender and strong lines that seem to contain endless explosive power.

Under Xu Ran's gaze, a complete human figure appeared in the sky, with the heart as the core hub. It was carefully carved by countless red lines by an invisible artist and quietly suspended in the air, like a god walking out of ancient mythology.

"Um?!"

Xu Ran stared at the 'person' that took shape high in the sky, frowning slightly.

"Is this a human?"

Xu Ran was very confused.

After asking this question, he closed his eyes, and a faint wisp of spiritual consciousness floated towards the "person" who had just taken shape, carefully exploring the information of this "person".

This ray of divine consciousness kept searching back and forth on this "person", and found that this "person" was exactly the same as an ordinary person in the outside world!
That’s right, it’s exactly the same as ordinary people!!

There was no trace of cultivation aura on his body, nor any fluctuations in his cultivation level. The red mist floating in the air could not even get close to him. Everything about him was completely out of place in this valley!

Everything that happened was extremely strange.

To know.

Before this person took shape, he absorbed all the dark green in the valley. That was an extremely powerful force that no ordinary person could withstand. According to Xu Ran's guess, if his [Innate Saint Body] had not been perfected, he probably would not have been able to withstand such a huge amount of energy.

But such a huge amount of energy is all used to form a person!

Furthermore, this person didn't have any fluctuations in his cultivation level!!
All of this is so weird.

Even so, Xu Ran still didn't feel relaxed at all. This person was very strange, and this valley was also very strange. Who could say that this was not a trick?
Just as Xu Ran was thinking about all the possibilities, the man standing high in the sky slowly raised his heavy eyelids, his eyes hazy.

There was some yellow stuff on his eyelids, which looked like eye boogers.

Personally, I feel like an ordinary person who just woke up.

The same is true.

He had just opened his eyelids, which felt as heavy as a thousand pounds, and saw the scene in front of him. In an instant, his pupils dilated, and the haziness from just waking up was instantly cleared away, and his hands and feet moved around uncontrollably.

He had been high up in the air, but because of his restless body, he suddenly lost his balance and fell from the sky. "Ah!"

A terrified scream echoed in the valley. Xu Ran could clearly see that as he fell, his rapidly dilated pupils were trembling constantly. The feeling of fear did not seem to be acted at all.

Even so, Xu Ran still did not make any move.

If the person in front of him is really just an ordinary person, then it's fine, but if this is a trap, then he will fall into an irretrievable situation.

So, Xu Ran just watched him fall from the sky quietly.

His position from the ground was not particularly high, only about ten meters away, and the ground below was not cracked.

"boom!"

There was a sound of something heavy falling to the ground, followed by the sound of falling and the rustling sound of leaves.

Looking in the direction where the sound came from, Xu Ran unconsciously breathed a sigh of relief.

I saw the person who had just taken shape was lying on the ground surrounded by leaves.

The giant trees that had collapsed due to the violent storm and waves were all piled up here. Among them, the softest leaves were also piled up here. This allowed an ordinary person to fall from a height of dozens of meters without suffering particularly serious injuries.

Of course, although it doesn't seem to be a big problem, at this height, even with the soft leaves underneath to block it, it will still be painful.

I saw the man covering his butt and wailing on the ground.

"Ouch! That hurts!"

This voice seemed to be blaming Xu Ran for not catching him at all.

After wailing for several minutes, he covered his butt, slowly stood up, brushed off the dust on his body, and looked at Xu Ran.

"Are you Xu Ran?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, Xu Ran's pupils shrank slightly, and he stared at the strange man in front of him with some surprise.

It’s not that I was surprised that he could say Xu Ran’s name, but that the voice, the tone, and the movements were too normal. But in this strange valley, everything was so abnormal.

"Who are you?" Xu Ran asked.

He waved his hand and replied nonchalantly, "It doesn't matter who I am."

"Besides, it's been so long that I don't even know my own name anymore."

His tone was full of calmness, as if his name was really not worth mentioning.

However, Xu Ran heard the key point in his words.

"How long is that long?"

Hearing this, he straightened up, looked around the valley, and finally looked at the sky above the valley.

“I don’t remember either!”

The tone was full of vicissitudes, as if he had really experienced a long time.

But, can his words be trusted?

Can an ordinary person with no cultivation live that long?
Xu Ran didn't believe a single word he said, no matter how ordinary, normal, and experienced he appeared to be.

What's more, he absorbed the huge dark green mist in the valley. The powerful energy contained in it could make Xu Ran drink a pot. If he trusted him easily, it would probably bring very bad consequences, or even completely unacceptable consequences.

"I know you don't believe me, and I don't expect you to believe me." He retracted his gaze to the front and looked at the huge corpse lying on the ground.

"Next, it's time to get down to business!"

Xu Ran was puzzled.

"Business? What business?"

He looked at Xu Ran and raised his eyebrows.

"Don't you want to know where this place is? Don't you want to know why you are here?"

The two questions he asked in a row instantly attracted Xu Ran's attention.

Indeed, he couldn't understand why he and the Peregrine Falcon were brought to this strange valley by the fog, what were so many monsters that had come back to life before, and what exactly did the White Tiger mean by what he said?
He wanted to know all of this.

and also
Xu Ran also turned his gaze to the huge corpse.

What on earth is that corpse that is several thousand meters long?
What kind of corpse would not show any signs of decay after such a long time?

With such a hard corpse, what kind of ability could make his head disappear?

What's going on in this valley?
There are really too many questions.

"Also, don't you want to help your pet regain its soul?"

He cast his gaze upon the Peregrine Falcon, and just glanced at it before continuing.

"That's quite interesting. It's not uncommon for you to have innate energy, but this peregrine falcon's body also has innate energy, and it's been there since it hatched!"

"Not only is there innate energy, there is also Kunpeng blood in the body."

"Your spiritual pet has a limitless future!!"

Xu Ran was a little surprised when he heard what he said.

A person with no cultivation can see through all the opportunities that the peregrine falcon has with just one glance.

It was this point that made Xu Ran believe that the person in front of him could not be trusted!!!
