The Cockroach-like Girl Is My Beast

Chapter 782 - 525: Ruined Buddhist Land (Part 3)

Looking at the people around, they probably aren’t clear about the specifics.

"..."

Chelina’s eyes flickered with a deep blue light, her nose wrinkled as if smelling something, and she frowned: "Strange."

"There are not too many dead here, on the contrary."

——Under Lu Pa’s guidance, Chelina’s mastery and perception of emotions have also improved significantly.

Vishdair surveyed the surroundings: "What do you mean... oh, I see."

On the road, they encountered dead cities that had been completely looted, yet upon approaching the entrance to the Demon Qi Secret Realm, they surprisingly didn’t feel the resentment of many dead people.

Because they were full and benevolent?

Obviously, that’s not possible.

Lin Guang also quickly turned his thoughts, raised his hand, and a dark golden Spiritual Power dispersed, rumbling across the plain.

"If you don’t want to die, leave immediately."

The next moment, he took out a scroll that shone faintly.

Then he tossed the scroll into the air, forming seals with his hands.

Instantly, the scroll radiated brilliantly, transforming into invisible Spirit Patterns that fell silently like spring rain, completely covering the exposed bedrock.

This is a Tier Four maze.

It has no offensive power; its only function is to make all entities below the Three-Star level attempting to enter it wander in circles, able only to leave.

That should be enough to stop them.

Having done all this, Lin Guang finally sighed in relief, turned to look at the space rift, and spoke to the people beside him.

"Let’s go in."

The next moment, the five of them simultaneously entered the Secret Realm.

......

The scene before them twisted like a kaleidoscope, but in the blink of an eye, it became a solid and grounded sensation.

Passing through the twisted space rift, a dry, hot wind mixed with the smell of decay and blood, and yellow sand hit them head-on.

What unfolded before everyone was an endless sea of desolate sand under a dark yellow dim sky.

Woo woo—

A bizarre sound, whether it was the wind or the wails of ghosts, sent a chill down their spines.

Vishdair frowned, raising her hand to block the incoming yellow sand, her face full of disgust.

"What is this ghost place?"

Lisa held her magic staff, her small nose twitching: "There’s a smell of Demonic Qi, but for some reason, it’s not very strong..."

The four saw Lin Guang looking in a certain direction and turned to look, then suddenly froze.

In the distance, several kilometers away, a shadow like a mountain was standing quietly.

It was a massive black hand of unknown material.

Half of its five fingers were broken, yet one could still see the hand’s original sealing gesture.

The only remaining thumb and index finger pointed towards the sky, and thick yellow sand covered nearly half of the palm.

Further in the sand sea lay more colossal remnants.

A half-buried face of a Buddha, still wearing a compassionate smile.

A statue severed at the waist, revealing only the giant lotus throne and lower body.

The endless wind and sand couldn’t hide their ruined yet magnificent outlines.

——Buddha statues?

Seeing these elements, Lin Guang could almost determine the Secret Realm’s origin.

It’s likely a fragment from a world of Immortals and Buddhas that fell from the void.

But...

Considering the Demonic Qi’s intrusion, who knows what kind of mutations have occurred inside.

Zumama blinked: "Were these...alive before?"

"Tsk, it’s really creepy."

Vishdair curled her lip and looked to another side.

"But even in this ghostly state, there are still lots of guys who aren’t afraid of death."

They saw, as far as the eye could reach, hundreds of staggering figures walking toward the depths of the Secret Realm over the vast sand sea.

These were ordinary people who had entered the Secret Realm before they arrived.

"......"

Lin Guang didn’t speak, just retrieved something from his Space Ring.

A small pile of child-sized, expressionless, toy-like Q-version monkeys.

Each monkey had a big open mouth, with a white safety helmet on their heads, and something like a light bulb that emitted a soft blue glow.

"What on earth is this?"

Vishdair looked puzzled.

Lin Guang didn’t explain, just raised his hand and tossed them out with his Spiritual Power.

The next moment.

As they hit the ground, those once expressionless monkeys suddenly opened their eyes, then instantly grew in size to normal monkey proportions, standing on the ground.

The blue light bulb switched to red.

[Warning and Deterrence Mode] activated!

The next moment, the enlarged monkeys came alive, scurrying around on their small short legs, dashing toward those staggering figures in the sand sea, emitting a piercing sound like an air raid siren!

"Squeak squeak squeak——!!!"

In the distance.

Those ordinary people trying to explore suddenly stopped when they heard the harsh sound, as if hypnotized, and frantically turned and crawled back toward the space rift.

"...What the *Kazdail curse* is this thing?"

"A mass-produced special Spiritual Artifact from the equipment department, [Compassionate Monkey]." Lin Guang explained calmly.

"Its sound waves can issue a mandatory Spiritual suggestion of ’This place is extremely dangerous, leave immediately’ to creatures with weak Spiritual Power, but it has little effect on Spirit Masters above Three-Star."

Without waiting for the people to leave completely, Lin Guang had already retrieved a lush green Bodhi seed from the Space Ring.

It was the contact link that True Master Fashun included with his call for help.

Similar to Kong Guofeng’s small bell, it also carried a trace of True Intent, allowing communication over a certain distance.

Lin Guang injected a trace of Spiritual Power into it.

Soon, the Bodhi seed began to tremble slightly.
