At this moment, everyone present finally saw what it was.
“It's actually a fox. This is interesting; a fox can imitate human speech.”
Han Ye said to Qin Xuan in surprise.
Spirit Beasts at the shapeshifting stage can communicate with the Human Race.
In this situation, Spirit Beasts can speak.
But if it were a shapeshifting Spirit Beast, the few of them combined wouldn't be enough to even get stuck in its teeth.
This little fox was clearly only a Spirit Beast of about Level One; its strength was truly ordinary.
How could such a Spirit Beast speak human words, let alone deceive so many people with flowery speech?
Sure enough, after the fox died, a white shadow flew out from its body.
Song Bin rushed over and grabbed the white shadow.
“Mercy, mercy!”
The white phantom transformed into a human figure and frantically bowed to Song Bin, trying to secure a way out for himself.
“Mercy? You, a Human Race, possessing a Spirit Beast is one thing, but you even tried to deceive me. Why should I spare you?”
Hearing this, the figure hurriedly explained.
“Senior Brother Song, I had no choice. I was forced. If I didn't do it, I would vanish into thin air, my Divine Soul would not be preserved!”
Before Song Bin could speak, the figure began various pleas for mercy and explanations.
Qin Xuan frowned.
What exactly was going on?
“If I'm not mistaken, this should be a Chang Gui.”
Han Ye said with some hesitation after observing for a long time.
“Chang Gui?”
Qin Xuan had heard of the saying 'to act as a Chang Gui for a tiger,' but did this Chang Gui also affect Cultivators?
Clearly, this figure must have been a Cultivator in life.
That a Cultivator had fallen to this state was truly lamentable.
“It's when a Cultivator is killed by a Spirit Beast or some strange entity, and their Divine Soul doesn't dissipate but is instead bound by this strange entity, becoming its servant from then on.”
Servant!
Upon hearing this, Qin Xuan suddenly understood.
No wonder this thing wanted to trick them into going out; it turned out it had already been tamed by whatever was out there.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan's brows did not relax; instead, they furrowed even tighter.
To be able to imprison a Cultivator's Divine Soul as a servant...
That meant whatever was outside was likely far from simple.
Even extremely dangerous.
Today's events probably wouldn't end so easily.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan concentrated on listening to the movements outside the dilapidated temple, but besides the sound of the wind, there was no other movement outside.
He hoped he was overthinking it and that thing wouldn't dare to cause trouble here.
“Mercy? How could I spare you!”
“You truly don't know what's good for you, daring to come here and play tricks! I'll kill you!”
Song Bin roared, then squeezed hard, directly crushing the thing to death.
The Chang Gui let out a shrill scream, then vanished into thin air.
Qin Xuan turned his head to the side. At this moment, only the human skin and the fox's corpse remained.
Only then did Qin Xuan realize.
This Chang Gui first possessed the fox, then the fox crawled into the human skin, disguising itself as a human.
As for all those ghostly words, they were all spoken by the Chang Gui.
“It has some tricks, using human skin to conceal its aura. No wonder we couldn't see through their disguise.”
“Not only that, but because of this Chang Gui, they were able to trick them all.”
This way, those who were greedy could naturally be easily deceived.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan also sighed with emotion.
If he hadn't discovered in time that the Chang Gui had no human form, they would have likely suffered a disaster.
Thinking of this, Qin Xuan couldn't help but pat Nannan's head.
“It seems you pigs aren't entirely useless!”
Song Bin looked at Qin Xuan with some surprise.
He had completely not expected that this time, it was these ordinary Mortals from the Burial Spirit Land who discovered the anomaly; otherwise, he might have truly fallen into a trap. Thinking of this, Song Bin took out some food from his qiankun ring and threw it to Wang Fu.
“Alright, these things are yours now, consider them your reward.”
After speaking, Song Bin walked to the side, wanting to continue resting.
No matter what, he would not take a single step out of here tonight.
With the statue guarding this dilapidated temple, it was foolproof.
Song Bin walked to the statue and bowed to it.
Just as he was about to continue resting, suddenly, outside, strong winds immediately began to rage, and the crying wails in the eerie wind started to become increasingly clear.
“What's happening?”
Qin Xuan vigilantly looked around.
The wind sounds around them had clearly become more urgent.
This was not like the previous eerie wind.
Could it be that some big fellow had arrived?
As Qin Xuan pondered, a huge sound came from outside, shaking the windows of the dilapidated temple continuously.
It's here!
Qin Xuan held his breath and concentrated.
Song Bin, on the other hand, jumped up from the ground, took a few quick steps to the doorway, and peeked out through the crack in the door.
“Damn it!”
Just one look at what was outside the door, and Song Bin's face turned pale as he retreated several steps.
“It's over, it's really over now.”
At the same time, a fierce roar came from outside the door.
“Listen, those inside the temple! You killed my Chang Gui. Come out obediently now, and I can still give you a chance to become a Chang Gui. But if you dare to resist stubbornly, you won't even have the chance to become a Chang Gui!”
Hearing this, Song Bin's face immediately became as ugly as it could be.
Qin Xuan walked to the window and looked outside through the broken opening.
At this moment, outside the dilapidated temple, a Giant Tiger several tens of feet long was guarding the outside with a group of Spirit Beasts.
In front of him, several white shadows were floating.
Clearly, these were the Giant Tiger's Chang Gui.
“Senior Brother Song, I am your Junior Brother Xiang. If you open the door now, Lord Mountain Monarch will not make things difficult for you.”
Hearing this somewhat familiar voice, Qin Xuan's gaze fell upon the figure currently speaking.
Clearly, Xiang Guang had already become the Giant Tiger's Chang Gui.
Xiang Guang's strength was at the ninth stage of the Dan Xuan Realm, and with his two followers, he could at least contend with those at Profound Earth first or second stage.
In other words, this Giant Tiger's strength was at least above Profound Earth first stage.
Putting everything else aside, Song Bin was definitely no match.
As long as Song Bin hadn't lost his mind, he shouldn't dare to go out.
“Xiang Guang, get lost! You, a Chang Gui, don't help the Human Race, and you even dare to target me. It's a shame you're also Human Race.”
Saying this, Song Bin hid behind the statue.
He was now terrified and simply didn't dare to confront what was outside.
“You choose to refuse a toast only to drink a forfeit! Lord Mountain Monarch is incredibly powerful; this is your chance. If you still stubbornly resist, Lord Mountain Monarch will surely not spare you!”
Xiang Guang, who had already become a Chang Gui, provoked Song Bin in various ways, clearly wanting to provoke Song Bin into coming out, but Song Bin was a coward and dared not make any other moves.
