Chapter 1996: You Can

Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming weren't afraid at all; the poisonous spiritual energy on Penglai Immortal Island didn't make them feel unwell as they ran around searching nearby.

But it was hard on Zhu Jiuyin and Di Jiang, as well as Gong Gong and Zhu Rong and the others.

Although Luo Fu ground some medicine powder and made them take it, very few could resist the poison using only their cultivation base.

"I told you I'd protect your safety—you don't need to strain your cultivation base. Come to me, and I'll purge all the poisonous spiritual energy!"

Luo Fu said this, but the Twelve Ancestral Wus didn't hesitate—they all believed they could handle it and would never fall behind anyone else.

"Luo Fu Saint, we can do it!"

"That's right, we're not weak either."

"Big brother, don't push yourselves too hard," Sister Houtu said from behind, worried.

"Don't worry, little sister. We Twelve Ancestral Wus haven't sunk to this level. You and Xuanming keep moving forward, but don't go too far."

Once you step beyond our line of sight, it won't be this easy to leave.

Penglai Immortal Island is full of evil spirits; even as Twelve Ancestral Wus, you must be cautious, and you've already sent out many distress signals.

And with Luo Fu here, you might as well explore Penglai Immortal Island with care.

Sister Xuanming pulled Sister Houtu forward together.

She always felt an invisible force tugging her relentlessly onward.

She turned back to look at Luo Fu; he smiled and nodded, urging her and Sister Houtu to go ahead.

Sister Xuanming thought that since Luo Fu also told her to go, she might as well take advantage of it.

"Let's go, Houtu. Let's go see what's ahead."

Sister Houtu followed Sister Xuanming forward and indeed saw a clear spring suddenly appear within the fog-choked forest.

Around the spring, there was no fog at all; instead, entering it brought a sense of profound freshness, and in the center of the spring stood a tripod.

"Huh?"

Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming both exclaimed.

The two stepped forward, but just as they neared the spring, a small gray-black sparrow suddenly appeared.

The sparrow flew toward them and transformed before their eyes into a massive monster, its entire body covered in gray-black feathers, with two enormous talons.

Startled, Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming both stepped back and immediately summoned their battle companions, ready to fight.

"Stop!"

Luo Fu arrived at the same time, saw the tense standoff, and ordered them to halt.

Sister Houtu immediately said: "Luo Fu Saint, that monster just tried to attack us!"

"Yes, it was just a small gray-black sparrow, then suddenly turned into this huge monster right before our eyes—it was terrifying!"

The Twelve Ancestral Wus weren't easily frightened, but this was the first time they'd seen such a thing; both Sister Houtu and Sister Xuanming were shaken.

Zhu Jiuyin and Gong Gong, lagging behind, arrived together, along with Qiang Liang; upon seeing the giant-taloned monster, they fell into deep thought.

Luo Fu instantly recognized the three-eyed, giant-taloned eagle—it was a remnant from the ancient Demon God War.

"Three-Eyed Eagle!"

Zhu Jiuyin trembled slightly: "Luo Fu Saint—that's the Three-Eyed Eagle! One of the mounts of the Three Thousand Demon Gods!"

Luo Fu naturally knew—Zhu Jiuyin said this to inform the others.
