CHAPTER 39: LOOKING A LITTLE TO THE OTHER SIDE
Soon another month passed quickly.
Everything seemed normal and very calm, inside his room Adrian was still thinking about how to make High Level pills.
However, Adrian frowned, when he felt that everything was too quiet.
Perhaps it was because his senses were sharpened, or he had spent a long time escaping death itself, but he felt that something was amiss... not good.
It was like the feeling he had when he faced all those situations, where he could have died an infinite number of times. Adrian left his room, while he was attentive to give any order to his fog.
Outside it was as normal as ever. But, nothing could escape Adrian's sight, after all, his face was now wearing a mask, a mask that had once belonged to the Heavenly Devil.
Therefore, his eyes had also suffered some effects.
He didn't say anything, and he didn't stare straight ahead. He simply leaned against the railing of the boat, taking in some air.
"Does it seem that... has he looked at us?"
"Hmp, he must be just a servant, he has a power of the fourth stage of Qi condensation, just focus on our mission, after all Our Lord is taking care of that human."
Two voices spoke in the nothingness, suddenly at the front of the bow, two people dressed in black wearing a mask appeared, for the moment they were hidden with the power of their divine senses.
However, behind his back, several black tentacles could be seen moving as if they were part of his body, it was a terrifying thing to look at, each of those tentacles looked like an extension of himself.
"What if we kill him? After all, I'm very hungry."
Both beings flashed a chilling aura that could freeze the body of anyone who felt it.
"Do what you want, our lord just wants us to make sure we capture that new disciple he has taken in."
"Hahahaha! Deal done!" – The chilling voice licked its lips, as it prepared to attack Adrian.
Adrian had heard them clearly, and this was a big problem, he didn't know what was going on, but soon he would be attacked, by a being whose aura made him tremble.
He couldn't feel anything else apart from the aura of those two strangers, but he could also notice that there was something surrounding the Ship, it was like when he was inside a fog, he couldn't see anything apart from himself.
Adrian didn't know much about cultivators yet, but he knew that this must be their doing.
"I'll devour it in an instant!" – said the unknown voice, spewing a powerful aura throughout the Ship.
Adrian felt powerless in the face of such an aura, he felt that he could be destroyed at any moment.
The stranger who lunged towards Adrian, moved his black tentacles towards him as if he wanted to grab him so that he would not escape, from different areas, hundreds of coal-black tentacles were revealed.
Adrian could see them now, and feel great fear, but at once the tentacles were going to surround him.
Adrian pointed his finger into the unknown.
"Kill him!"
Suddenly from his shadow, a couple of mists came out in a gust, the masked man did not know what was happening, until he felt how his tentacles were torn off, such a person took several steps back in quick succession without daring to be reckless.
"What are those things?!" – The unknown being acted quickly upon seeing such beings approaching, swallowing everything thrown at them.
"Cursed beings, get out of the way" – Suddenly the other mask-wearing stranger joined in, and raised his hand summoning a sword, which glowed with a black miasma covering them completely, making the mist unable to move forward.
Seeing that they had means to protect themselves, Adrián ordered them to return.
"Who are you?!" – Adrian asked, as he took a step back, in his hand was his dagger, and in the other, his wooden sword.
Beside him were the two mists, who watched every movement of the enemy.
"As a mere human can use the power of curses" – said angrily the first masked man, who had attacked Adrian. It looked like he had taken a lot of damage. Its black tentacles twisted as they returned to his body.
"Change your mind, you have to kill him and then we'll both eat him" – said the second hooded man, as he moved his sword forward.
The miasma gathered again in the sword, causing it to glow with great intensity. It seemed like he was about to launch a powerful attack, the first masked man simply nodded, as he tried to recover, from the eaten parts, new tentacles soon began to regenerate.
"Hahahaha! This will be fun!" – Their laughter was shrill, as they prepared to kill Adrian with all their might.
Adrian frowned, this really was dangerous, and with that strange sword his mist was useless. But if he was defeated then Bai Guoer would be killed.
"Let's go!"
"Hahahaha!"
Both masked men threw themselves with all their power towards Adrian.
