Disciple, Don't Cause Trouble, Master Won't Leave the Mountain!

Chapter 172: The Feeling of Being Watched

“How strange, why is it like this? There is no warmth emitting from the flame.” Qin Xiaoxi was shocked as she had never seen such a situation in her life.

Jiang Yun reached out his hand to touch the flame.

“Hey, what are you doing?! Take it back!” Qin Xiaoxi immediately slapped Jiang Yun’s arm when she saw this.

Jiang Yun also stopped and examined.

“This might be fuel made from the fat of the sea demons of the Northern Region,” Jiang Yun explained calmly.

“You even know about this?” Qin Xiaoxi looked at Jiang Yun in disbelief. Jiang Yun had already displayed his depth of knowledge in the past half a month. No matter how strange it was, Jiang Yun was able to tell her the reason without changing his expression, Qin Xiaoxi couldn’t help but be surprised. She felt as if Jiang Yun had risen from a book.

“Why are you looking at me like that?” Jiang Yun noticed Qin Xiaoxi’s gaze.

“It’s nothing. I just feel like you’re a book that knows everything.” Qin Xiaoxi burst into laughter.

“In the past, when I was free on the Mount God of Heaven, I liked to read about rumors. Moreover, my master once brought me to travel around. I learned a lot of strange experiences from him.” Jiang Yun smiled, for some reason, he felt a little embarrassed after being praised.

“Oh, other than cultivating, you are also allowed to travel while you were on Mount God of Heaven?” Qin Xiaoxi’s eyes seemed to glow. Traveling around the world was one of Qin Xiaoxi’s dreams.

“Yes, this is a tradition of the Deity Sect, so I think it’s a good thing that you want to go traveling. After all, if a person has traveled a lot, their knowledge will be broadened.” Jiang Yun looked at Qin Xiaoxi with a faint smile. At this moment, Qin Xiaoxi also hurriedly nodded her head.

“I’m so happy to hear that. You are one of the few people who agree with my idea.” Qin Xiaoxi seemed to be very happy. This trip to the Northern Region was actually a great gain for Qin Xiaoxi. She looked at the flame carefully and then said excitedly, “And then, the sea demons of the Northern Region…”

“It is said that the fat in the body of the sea demon of the Northern Region is very easy to ignite, and a faint blue light is produced after ignition. This kind of flame has no temperature at all. Many fishermen go out to sea when the weather is dry, and the will-o’-the-wisp in the sea they see is actually the flame ignited by the fat of the sea demon of the Northern Region. After all, when balls of blue flames suddenly appear on the surface of the dark sea, anyone would think that the ghost brought the will-o’-the-wisp to these fishermen to claim their lives.”

Jiang Yun carefully explained the origin of the will-o’-the-wisp to Qin Xiaoxi.

“So that’s how it is. It seems strange, but after your explanation, I don’t think there’s anything strange about it.” Qin Xiaoxi waved her hand and walked to the huge stone pillar behind her.

“You don’t say. In my dream, I really didn’t observe these stone pillars.”

“Huh?” Jiang Yun walked over together and saw that the stone pillars were actually carved with many extremely fine patterns. They surrounded the images of each stone pillar in a very harmonious manner.

Although there were more patterns on the stone pillars, Jiang Yun and Qin Xiaoxi could still see that on each stone pillar was the appearance of a Frost Dragon that had opened its huge wings.

“It seems that the people of the Northern Region respect this Frost Dragon a lot.”

“Indeed, this Frost Dragon has become the totem of the people of the Northern Region.”

The patterns on the next few pillars were basically the same. They were probably pictures of the Frost Dragon, so there was nothing much to see.

The two of them walked to the end of the hall.

There was a huge stone tablet at the end, but strangely, there was no exit. Was the hall still sealed?

“That is weird. There should be an exit. Why is it a sealed hall?” Jiang Yun was confused.

“I feel like it’s hidden somewhere. I don’t want to stay in this cave anymore. I’m getting goosebumps.” Qin Xiaoxi shook her head and went to the stone tablet.

“Goosebumps?” Jiang Yun was puzzled.

“Yeah, I feel like I’m being watched. I wanted to tell you when I was at the stone door, but you were reading the poem so seriously that I felt like I was too sensitive. I didn’t plan to tell you, but now, even after I came in, the feeling hasn’t subsided.”

Qin Xiaoxi touched her right forearm.

“You are probably thinking too much. I don’t feel that way.” Jiang Yun smiled and stood in front of the stone tablet.

But in fact, he didn’t let down his guard. The feeling that Qin Xiaoxi described, he felt it as well. Ever since he came to the stone door, he always felt that there was a pair of eyes behind him, staring at his every move.

At that time, before he solved the riddle of the poem, Jiang Yun had already secretly confirmed it. But strangely, he could not see anyone behind them. This was what made Jiang Yun suspicious.

And Jiang Yun’s spiritual power perception was very strong. He could sense that pair of eyes and that feeling. However, it was not just looking at them, but staring at them intently.

He did not expect Qin Xiaoxi to say it at this moment. It seemed like there was a ferocious monster hiding in this cave? However, if it was a monster, it should only be ferocious.

At this moment, Jiang Yun was already thinking about the rumors of the Ghost Realm. However, in the next second, he stopped thinking about it.

The most important thing now was to find the path to the top of the Holy Saint Snow Mountain and leave this place as soon as possible. After all, this ruin had existed in the Holy Saint Snow Mountain for thousands of years. Even Jiang Yun couldn’t guarantee what was lurking in this place.
