When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 690 - 508 The Stone Man

Xiang Beifei was able to see the Blood Altar because there was a purple light in the middle of the altar, emitting an extremely intense radiance that was highly penetrating, illuminating the patterns on the cave walls of the Blood Altar.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Behind Xiang Beifei, more stone slabs began to form walls, attempting to seal the passage, while in front of him pairs of purple eyes rushed towards him.

"I really don't want to fight you."

Xiang Beifei was quite calm, considering these beings were the so-called Chen Hou's holy relic of Fubei, which meant they were the same as the waters and cold qi soil from other Hous—he already knew how to deal with them!

Whoosh!

The breath soil rapidly transformed and created barriers in front of him. The purple eyes that could devour Spiritual Power, strong enough to kill the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage, hit the breath soil and were completely blocked by it.

Not only that, but after the breath soil was indented by the impact, it wrapped around these beings, and Xiang Beifei could see clearly what they really were.

He originally thought they were eyes, but once covered by Xiang Beifei's breath soil, the light on them was extinguished, turning into dim pebbles. The pebbles quickly turned into powder and disappeared.

Just now, they had been drained of much power by the red tentacles, and now, facing Xiang Beifei, they were drained once again. The being controlling the purple eyes seemed to have realized something was wrong and stopped attacking Xiang Beifei.

Zoom! Zoom! Zoom!

The purple eyes from all around converged on a cluster of light and shadow in front of him. The small eyes quickly transformed into large ones. Those large purple eyes were made from countless small pebbles, forming two fist-sized boulders that looked eerie.

Soon, countless small stones flew from all directions, gradually forming a head, limbs, and a body. In the blink of an eye, a figure resembling a stone creature appeared before him.

"Youmeng!"

The stone creature let out a low, angry roar from its mouth, then raised its massive fist and swung it at Xiang Beifei!

"Eh?"

Xiang Beifei was quite surprised.

Because the language of this stone creature was also "Youmeng"?

Whoa! Whoa!

But the stone creature didn't give Xiang Beifei a chance to speak. Its massive fist, with powerful momentum, swung toward Xiang Beifei's forehead. Xiang Beifei tilted his head and clenched his right fist, swinging it out as well!

Boom!

His fist hit the stone creature's fist, but the creature's body shone with a purple glow. This light moved rapidly and devoured the Spiritual Power that had just condensed on Xiang Beifei's fist!

Good grief! This stone creature actually had the ability to devour Spiritual Power!

The Spiritual Power on Xiang Beifei's fist was devoured, halving its might, and a huge shock hit his fist. With a crack, his bones fractured.

Zoom!

Xiang Beifei immediately withdrew his hand, dodging the punch, and stepped back several paces to the stone wall sealing the passage. A burning pain came from his arm, he had been caught off guard and suffered a loss.

The aura of Return to the Original State instantly enveloped his arm, healing the damage on his fist.

Thud! Thud! Thud!

Having the upper hand, the stone creature didn't hesitate. It rushed down the passage toward Xiang Beifei, footsteps booming heavily and powerfully.

Whoosh!

It swung its second punch!

Purple light enveloped the stone creature's massive fist, thundering forward. Xiang Beifei was cornered with nowhere to retreat.

However, Xiang Beifei was not at all panicked. Breath soil rapidly covered his fist like a hard earthen armor. With another clenched fist, he gathered his own punch once again!

Boom!

Two terrifying streams of fist wind whistled through the air and collided with explosive force.

This time Xiang Beifei's fist was much tougher. Despite the stone creature's fist devouring Spiritual Power, with the protection of breath soil, Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power erupted from within the breath soil, unleashing its full force!

Bang!

The muscular stone creature couldn't withstand Xiang Beifei's fist and staggered back many steps.

"Meng!"

The stone creature seemed to be enraged and swung its fists again, rushing at Xiang Beifei, but Xiang Beifei swung another punch faster. His fist roared through the air and struck the stone creature's chin, sending it flying back against the passage, creating a dull sound!

"Don't make this difficult; it's better for both of us."

Xiang Beifei clenched his fist again. The stone creature was very powerful, already at the level of orifice transforming, yet it was no match for Xiang Beifei.

The stone creature stood up, seemingly wanting to resist, but Xiang Beifei flashed past, slamming two bricks onto its head!

Hum!

Golden patterns instantly immobilized the stone creature. Its pair of huge purple eyes clearly filled with astonishment.

"You You You!"

Youmong suddenly poked its head out of Xiang Beifei's body and called out to him anxiously a couple of times.

"What's the matter?"

Xiang Beifei had not yet learned the language of Youmeng, and it was only yesterday that Xiaohei had barely understood it. He had intended to use Xiaohei's translation to learn today, but somehow he had ended up here.

Youmong pointed at the stone person and then at itself, "You You You!"

Xiaohei immediately translated on the side, "Woof woof woof!"

Xiang Beifei suddenly realized, "Oh!"

Youmong nodded, "Youmeng!"

Xiaohei translated in sync, "Woof woof!"

Xiang Beifei, grasping the situation, said, "Don't worry, I won't hurt him. Go ahead and talk to him if you want; I would also like to know what this guy is up to."

Xiang Beifei looked at the stone person who was restrained and pondered for a moment before he collected the two board bricks.

Once the stone person was able to move again, it lit up with a purple glow and was about to charge at Xiang Beifei again. However, Youmong stood on Xiang Beifei's shoulder and said to the stone person, "You You You!"

The stone person seemed to have noticed Youmong on Xiang Beifei's shoulder, stopping in its tracks, looking at Youmong with astonishment and indignation, while giving Xiang Beifei an angry glare.

Youmong gestured enthusiastically at the stone person, "Youmeng Youmeng Youmeng You!"

The anger in the stone person's eyes subsided by half as it thumped its chest, "Youmeng!"

Xiaohei immediately translated, "Woof woof woof!"

Xiang Beifei, stroking his chin, said, "I see."

...

If anyone could see all this, they would definitely be stunned by the bizarre scene before them: a stone person, a tree person, a little white dog, and a human talking in different languages—and they seemed to be having a serious conversation.

Boom! Boom!

They were still chatting, but behind them, there were Brain Holes still trying to pry the board bricks with red tentacles, the loud booming noises interrupting the conversation.

The stone person looked very angry. It once again condensed a purple fist and was about to rush over to stop the Brain Holes from getting here, but Xiang Beifei stepped past them and walked toward the cave.

The stone person sensed something was wrong, immediately turned around, and blocked Xiang Beifei's way to the mouth of the blood altar cave, watching him fiercely, "Youmeng!"

"Are you trying to stop me, or him?" Xiang Beifei asked.

The stone person hesitated; it clearly didn't want the Ghost Mustache of Remnant Visage to enter the cave, but it also did not fully trust Xiang Beifei.

Boom!

The stone slabs behind were being increasingly damaged, and it looked like they wouldn't hold for much longer.

"I can deal with them," Xiang Beifei said confidently, knocking the two board bricks he held in his hand.

Youmong on Xiang Beifei's shoulder pointed at him and whispered to the stone person, "You You You."

The stone person looked at the board bricks in Xiang Beifei's hand, which were flashing with golden inscriptions, hesitated for a moment, and then reluctantly stepped aside. Xiang Beifei immediately entered the blood altar, which was quiet at the moment and did not flow with blood as it did in Zi Hou.

It was likely there was no blood available to supply the blood altar here since they were still underwater. The lake was strange; blood simply could not blend into the water, let alone slaughtering other desolate beasts. However, blood was only for ensuring some of the blood altar's abilities could function normally; the main thing was that it could be controlled with the board bricks.

Xiang Beifei leapt to the center of the blood altar and inserted the board bricks, then gave a slight twist!

Hum!

The golden patterns immediately began to flow, spreading out and illuminating the entire cave. Shortly after, the cave walls lit up with lines of golden inscriptions, centering on the blood altar, and everything within a hundred miles became clearly visible.

This also included the Brain Holes that were breaking through the wall.

——

The Brain Holes were still very cautious, keeping the remaining Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage close by, wary of being attacked again by an unknown entity. The situation here had clearly exceeded their expectations; under normal circumstances, they should not have encountered this situation on their trip here.

"Everyone, be on high alert. If I'm not mistaken, that was very likely the Human Race!" the Brain Hole said in a deep voice.

The other Ghost Whiskers of Remnants Visage were quite surprised, and one of them asked incredulously, "How could the Human Race come here, all the way from Jiuzhou?"

"This is not something we need to discuss. The local Puppet Child is clearly out of control, suppressing our Perception too much. We must take the Puppet Child into our own hands before anything else," one of them said.

The figure of Brain Hole vibrated, and its red tentacles rolled again, lifting the board bricks at the front, parting that wall of board bricks as well.

Other Ghost Whiskers of Remnant Visage had already extended their tentacles. In fact, extending their tentacles was unnecessary for them, and even harmful; if the tendrils reached out too far in this place, they wouldn't feel anything if they touched something, which is why they had been keeping their tentacles in until now.

But now, the purpose of the tentacles was to serve as indicators.

Swish!

Only one slab of stone remained, and the Brain Hole could now see the entrance. It snorted coldly and extended its red tentacles into the crack in the stone slab again.

Just at that moment, all the stone slabs around suddenly lit up with golden inscriptions, instantly surrounding them all!
