Rabbit Must Die-Chapter 699 - 295 Sending the Rabbit on Its Way_1

However, Tianpeng Marshal’s water escape technique was clearly not as fast as the rabbit’s brute force, coupled with Taotie’s magic and the acceleration from its ears acting like dual propellers. Soon, Qin Shou caught up to Tianpeng Marshal from behind!

Seeing this, Tianpeng Marshal roared and swung his rake around!

Qin Shou’s body was at the level of a Heavenly Immortal, and he was among those who dedicated themselves to the cultivation of their physical bodies, naturally unafraid of a direct confrontation.

Without a word, Qin Shou spread his arms wide open and allowed the Nine-Toothed Rake to slam onto his forehead with a clang, nearly bouncing off.

Taking advantage of the momentum, Qin Shou stretched out his arms, grabbed the rake, and then opened his mouth wide and crunched down on it!

Tianpeng Marshal was dumbfounded by the rabbit’s actions, and by the time he regained his senses, all that remained in his hand was the handle of the rake!

And there was the rabbit, smiling mischievously at him, forcefully prying Tianpeng Marshal’s hands apart, then tossing the remaining piece of the Nine-Toothed Rake into its mouth and started crunching away merrily.

Upon seeing this, Tianpeng Marshal transformed into a towering giant thousands of feet tall, grabbed at the sky with his fingers, and pulled down a long river, which crashed onto Qin Shou with a thunderous roar! Qin Shou was dazed by the impact, and by the time he came to his senses, Tianpeng Marshal had long since run off without a trace.

Qin Shou pointed around and cursed loudly, "You just wait for me!"

After that, Qin Shou sat atop the long river and opened his mouth wide, beginning to swallow the river.

After a few gulps, he despairingly found out that the river water was not transformed from Yuan Qi but was an actual river! He sucked in a big mouthful and ended up drawing in several fish...

"This guy’s skill with water is really fierce, but I just can’t figure out what the heck he is," muttered Qin Shou before he began wandering around the low mountain. After a full circle, he found nothing out of the ordinary, except for more bones on the mountain... nothing else was particularly noteworthy.

Crossing Serpent Mountain, Qin Shou walked eastward. Before him, a dark fog began to appear, growing thicker and heavier until Qin Shou could barely make out the scenery around him.

But Qin Shou wasn’t in the least bit anxious; instead, he opened his mouth and started to swallow directly!

Qin Shou had a simple philosophy: if he couldn’t handle something, he’d eat it!

Like a whale sucking in water, the fog around him was completely swallowed up by Qin Shou! To his surprise, he found that the fog contained a great deal of Yuan Qi!

This Yuan Qi was still of the type his cells despised, so Qin Shou directly used it to strengthen his body. His body crackled and popped, making considerable progress.

The key point was, there was still a lot of fog around...

With that thought, Qin Shou smiled.

Meanwhile, in the outside world.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was speeding along on a motorcycle. As it raced on, it saw a person standing in the void ahead of it.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace subconsciously swerved to turn, but the person chuckled, "Fellow Daoist, do not be alarmed. I was entrusted by someone to wait for you here."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was taken aback, "Entrusted by someone? Who?"

The man in white, extraordinarily handsome, responded to the Eight Trigrams Furnace with a slight smile, "Naturally, it is the entrusted who did the entrusting." 𝓯𝓻𝓮𝙚𝙬𝓮𝙗𝒏𝙤𝒗𝙚𝙡.𝒄𝒐𝓶

As he spoke, the man in white took out a compass and said, "You have an astroplate in your possession, which was used by Hongjun Patriarch to determine the positions of the stars when the heavens and earth first opened. However, the astroplate was later damaged and split into two parts. One part is what you have, which can determine positions to prevent getting lost. And the other part is what I hold in my hands, which is unable to discern direction but can open a Star Gate that accelerates travel. There is, however, a drawback to this item."

"What drawback?" asked the Eight Trigrams Furnace.

The man in white explained, "Because it was damaged once, it can only open a one-way Star Gate within a hundred years. That means you choose a direction to advance, and it will open a Star Gate in that direction to send you there. But if you want to return, you will have to travel back on foot... or wait a hundred years, until it repairs itself, and then open another one-way Star Gate to teleport back."

Upon hearing this, the Eight Trigrams Furnace immediately beamed with joy, "That’s a great thing, saving us half the journey. But are you really willing to part with it so generously? Don’t you have any conditions?"

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was shrewd by nature and certainly didn’t believe in a free lunch.

The man laughed, "No conditions. My Lady says consider it a form of compensation. If the world still exists as it does in a hundred years, then so be it."

The Eight Trigrams Furnace was confused by the man’s words but understood one thing: the compass was meant as a favor to be returned to the Rabbit.

Thus, the Eight Trigrams Furnace promptly declared, "Alright then, I’ll accept it. When Rabbit returns, I’ll pass it on to him."

The man nodded, waved his hand, and the compass flew towards the Eight Trigrams Furnace, who immediately tossed it into the Furnace and closed the lid. He then asked, "Friend, may I know how to address you?"

The man shook his head, "Just a minor immortal, with no name worth mentioning. Since there’s nothing else, I shall take my leave."

Having said this, the man turned and walked away, disappearing into the void within a few steps, so quickly that the Eight Trigrams Furnace was left gaping in amazement.

Although the Eight Trigrams Furnace had never cultivated much, and even his strength was a blur, unknown at what level, his vision was high. He recognized the extraordinary nature of the man at a glance and couldn’t help muttering to himself, "Damn, definitely a Great Golden Immortal!"

Then the Eight Trigrams Furnace carefully pondered, "A Great Golden Immortal, dressed in white, a man looking as beautiful as a woman, quite arrogant, and the one he referred to as ’Lady’... Lady... Could it be? Damn! It’s the Winged Snake! No wonder he was eccentric, so effeminate... In that case, this compass was a gift from Lady Nvwa to Rabbit? This fate feels weighty, was I too rash in accepting it?"

Unfortunately, Qin Shou wasn’t there, and the Eight Trigrams Furnace had no one to consult.

He shouted into the Black Demon Box a few times, but Qin Shou did not respond, so he took matters into his own hands. He took out the compass and combined it with the one given to them by Lu Ban; when the two compasses came together, they merged instantly as a husband would with his wife.

And indeed, some changes appeared on the compass. The Eight Trigrams Furnace projected his Divine Sense into it and immediately felt as if he were above all the stars, as though he could go wherever he wished.

The Eight Trigrams Furnace understood the importance of the moon to the Rabbit. He suppressed his excitement and did not activate the device haphazardly. Instead, after carefully calculating the direction of the moon, he activated the compass.

Then the Eight Trigrams Furnace saw two points appear on the compass: one representing themselves and the other representing the destination, the moon. Then, twelve small points emerged between the two, and shortly after, a line connected all these dots.

Finally, the compass emitted a black light, and right after that, the Eight Trigrams Furnace’s Divine Sense was shaken out. He just managed to see a dark portal opening in the space before him!
