Chapter 1473: Chapter 465: Bad News, Confidence and Invitation, Shocking Suspicions and Chu Tianxu_5
As he spoke, he paused and his face showed a hint of anger as he said, "That Great Qin Feudal Town, it seems there is indeed something to it. Hong Yu must have provoked some powerful Deceitful Monster, which he has led all the way to our Cai Qiu..."
"What use is it to dwell on this now?"
The middle-aged man at the top spoke, his voice thick and heavy, like thunder interrupting Fan Qinghu. He then opened his eyes, a hint of doubt flashing in his pupils as he said, "Whether that Great Qin Feudal Town is real or not doesn’t matter anymore. I would rather hope it is true. If so, with Hong Prince dead in the Blood Miasma Plain, the town will surely send people over, and by then, maybe an additional strong support will appear."
As he spoke, his face was filled with worry, shaking his head as he said, "Previously seeing the Blood Miasma Plain’s space as ten times the size of the outside world, I thought at most it was just a Nightmare Monster with an extremely clever trick; I didn’t expect it could even control the flow of time freely, one day inside is ten days outside..."
Fan Qinghu heard these words, and his heart trembled slightly.
For no other reason than himself being an eyewitness to this ten-times speed of time flow.
Three days ago, when he and the others were rescued by Cai Qiuyang, they suddenly heard it was now the second day of April in the Caiqiu Calendar year 298, leaving them momentarily stunned.
In the Miasma Area, there is no day or night, but they are not novices in the wilderness and naturally have their own way of keeping time. Although they were made miserable by the Thousand Face in the Miasma Area, he remembered very clearly that from the night of November 2 last year when they entered the plain until they saw Cai Qiuyang, they had been in the Miasma Area for at most half a month, if not less.
They had been in the Miasma Area for less than fifteen days, only to find that when they came out, almost five months had passed outside...
Experiencing such an inconceivable event for the first time, Fan Qinghu and the others rescued from within found themselves stunned, even hardly fazed after learning later about this year’s events in Cai Qiu and Chen Cang being manipulated by Deceitful Monsters.
The time flow rate within the miasma was ten times faster than the outside world. If not for the personal experience, any other person would find it unbelievable.
"The strength of the Deceitful Monster behind the Blood Miasma Plain is probably beyond anyone’s imagination in Moao River. I have already sent people to report this to Lord Landgrave. Without taking care of the Blood Miasma Plain soon, it will inevitably lead to a great disaster..."
Hearing this, Fan Qinghu nodded heavily and then thought of something, asking with a puzzled face, "That Deceitful Monster, it wouldn’t speed up the flow of time for no reason, what does it aim for?"
"What does it aim for..."
Cai Qiuyang murmured softly, then said in a low tone, "It’s not just about speeding up the time flow..."
Pausing slightly, he continued, "In there, one day is indeed strictly speaking equal to ten days. It’s just that the blood-colored miasma is too profound and deceitful. Forget about you guys, even I find it hard to perceive its influence on time."
Inside, one day still equals ten days outside...
Fan Qinghu heard this sentence, his eyebrows slightly furrowing as if he had caught onto something. After pondering for a moment, he quickly understood and his expression shook violently, as he looked up in shock, "Is that Deceitful Monster lacking time?"
Following this logic, everything made perfect sense!
Accelerating time flow, making one day inside equal to ten days outside, clearly intending to let time pass more quickly.
Deceitful Monster awakening!
After these four words popped into Fan Qinghu’s mind, his face was instantly filled with seriousness.
Deceitful Monster awakening, this is nothing new in the Feudal Towns. Many unknown areas in the Ice Abyss hide various Deceitful Monsters and Cold Beasts. The weaker ones are not much, but encountering ones with strong or unimaginably powerful ones is an extremely terrifying disaster.
These Deceitful Monsters, whether hidden, asleep, sealed, or for any myriad of reasons, are unable to awaken, needing a lot of time, a relatively common example among them.
But they have encountered many Deceitful Monsters, being able to accelerate the passage of time on their own and affecting such a large area, this is a first for Cai Qiu, no, for the entire Moao River.
The strength of this Deceitful Monster...
"Above calamity level, maybe even more. Without the combined force of all in Moao River, it definitely won’t be resolved, and even the Four Vassals joining hands might not suffice..."
Cai Qiuyang’s low murmur made Fan Qinghu’s eyes grow more serious, the joy of surviving the Blood Miasma Plain instantly vanishing, leaving only worry and confusion on his face.
.........
Blood Miasma Plain, western region
This place is no different from the eastern environment; blood-colored miasma fills the sky, visibility around is extremely low. The mountains, the snow on the ground, the trees on the plain, and even the snowflakes falling from the sky are all dyed in a layer of blood, looking very eerie.
In such an eerie environment, a team of uninvited guests suddenly arrived at the eastern slope of an unknown mountain.
"Prefectural Governor, it’s true, the flow of time in here really is ten times faster than outside. I remember very clearly that this Blood Sunflower used to bloom once every ten days. We picked a batch when we came by, and it’s only been a day, and it’s bloomed again."
A team of six people slowly walked northward from the south.
At the end of the team, a middle-aged man in white, upon seeing a string of blood-colored plants in the snow to the left, couldn’t help but show a surprised expression as he spoke;
The others heard this and immediately looked over at the Blood Sunflowers. Seeing that they had fully regrown after having been picked before, surprise instantly washed over their faces.
The leader of the team was also a middle-aged man in white, tall, fair-skinned, and beardless, with a graceful posture and a black sword at his waist. Upon hearing the man behind him, he showed no surprise.
"I told you before, this year the Blood Miasma has changed greatly. This time, I’m breaking precedent by bringing you this deep for herb gathering. In the future, you can’t come here on your own, and you must always be cautious when active around the periphery."
"Yes, Prefectural Governor!"
The five heard the middle-aged man’s words and immediately nodded respectfully.
The second person in the team, an elderly man in black, looked up at the high mountain to the west and suddenly thought of something, asking, "County Father, I remember that behind this mountain is the territory of that Green Jade Toad, right?"
Chu Tianxu, hearing his son’s question, turned his head to look at the high mountain to the west and smiled, nodding, "Indeed, that Green Jade Toad is a single Water Element Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperor, not very powerful..."
As soon as Chu Xuanfeng and the five others heard this, their faces immediately showed excitement.
Seeing their expressions, Chu Tianxu immediately knew what they were thinking and shook his head repeatedly, "Stop dreaming, if it were one-on-one, I wouldn’t fear this Green Jade Toad. With you five assisting, cutting it down wouldn’t be too difficult, but the problem is..."
As he said this, he raised his hand to point southwest, continuing solemnly, "Over ten kilometers southwest of this Green Jade Toad’s territory, there lies a Red Gold Demon Tiger, a Gold and Fire Dual-Path Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperor. If we alarm it, even with another of me, I’m afraid..."
Though he didn’t finish his words, the eagerness on the faces of Chu Xuanfeng and the five was long gone upon hearing of the Golden Fire Dual-Path Beast Emperor.
With Chu Tianxu here, they would only dare to test the Single-Path Beast Emperor.
If they truly provoked the Dual-Path Five Luminaries Realm Beast Emperor, among the six, apart from Chu Tianxu, the other five would surely die.
"Alright, let’s not delay, hurry out!"
After Chu Tianxu finished speaking, he continued to lead the five northward.
Bang......
However, before they had walked ten meters, a loud noise suddenly came from the southwest direction they had just pointed to.
The six turned their heads to look southwest, their faces instantly filled with horror.
