Oh no! I, the weakling, have become the villain!

Chapter 500 Weird

Xu Yao thought to himself, and continued walking forward. Before he knew it, he had walked to the side of a river.

The river was very shallow, and Xu Yao could cross it easily.

Xu Yao walked to the upper reaches of the river and leaped directly into it.

The moment he jumped in, his body was instantly bound in place by a strange force.

"What is this thing? It's so powerful, it's incredibly bizarre!"

"The binding force of this power is so strong, and I have no way to break free!"

"It seems this power is spreading from beneath my feet!"

Such a thought flashed through Xu Yao's mind, and he looked around.

"Could there be monsters or demons in this river?" Xu Yao wondered.

His body twisted and turned in mid-air, trying to break free.

But no matter how hard he struggled, it was to no avail; he simply couldn't break free from this powerful binding force.

Xu Yao tried for a long time, but ultimately could not escape from the powerful force binding him.

"Well, I didn't intend to run away anyway, so I'll just wait here for a while," Xu Yao thought to himself.

Xu Yao stood there motionless, waiting quietly.

After about half an incense stick's time, Xu Yao felt a series of stinging pains coming from his body.

He discovered that a layer of black blood had seeped through his skin.

"What's going on? Why has the blood in my body turned black?"

"Why has my blood turned black? Is it because of this power?"

Xu Yao looked at his body with a puzzled expression, not understanding what was going on.

After a long while, Xu Yao slowly withdrew his right hand from his body.

He was shocked when he saw the black blood on his hands.

"Could it be that the black aura on my body is related to this black aura?"

Xu Yao carefully sensed the black aura within his body, and he was certain that the black aura inside him was exactly the same as the black aura on his palm.

"Could it be that this black aura is related to the black aura on my body?"

"Could my incredible cultivation speed be due to the black aura emanating from me?"

"However, this power seems to be something very evil. If I absorb it, I'm afraid I'll be completely corrupted!" Xu Yao thought to himself.

"This kind of evil thing absolutely cannot be allowed to remain." A ferocious look appeared on Xu Yao's face.

"However, my current strength is too weak, and I am simply unable to resist this black aura."

"Only when I am strong enough can I kill it!"

Thinking of this, Xu Yao felt a sense of resentment and bitterness.

"If only I had a Saint-grade pill right now, if only I had that pill."

"Perhaps my strength will increase dramatically, and it's even possible that I'll reach the Golden Immortal realm!"

Xu Yao couldn't help but sigh as he thought about this.

"This kind of elixir is truly mouthwatering," Xu Yao thought to himself.

"It seems I must obtain the treasures of this place as soon as possible!" A resolute look flashed in Xu Yao's eyes.

"In that case, I'll stay here for a while longer."

"Although this place is a treasure trove, we can only stay here for a little longer."

"If I leave this place, I might be harmed by these black auras."

"It will be very difficult for me to get back in then, and I might even lose my life."

"Therefore, I must stay here and cultivate diligently."

"I must cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible!" Xu Yao muttered to himself.

He would have to put in a lot of effort to successfully cultivate to the Golden Immortal realm; it was impossible for him to accomplish such a feat in a short period of time.

"In that case, I need to find other resources around here and improve my cultivation level as soon as possible."

"If there were any high-grade spirit stones or high-grade spiritual herbs here, they might be able to help me break through to the Golden Immortal realm!"

Thinking of this, Xu Yao immediately began searching along the riverbank.

His divine sense swept across the entire riverbank.

Apart from a huge stone tablet, there was nothing on the riverbank.

Xu Yao examined the area carefully for a long time, but still couldn't find any clues.

He shook his head in frustration, feeling extremely disappointed.

"It seems this place is truly a treasure trove," Xu Yao remarked.

Just then, a sharp cry echoed throughout the entire valley.

Upon hearing this voice, Xu Yao was slightly taken aback.

"Has some danger appeared again? No, I have to get out of here right away."

"After all, the spiritual energy in this place has become much thinner. If I stay here for even a short while, my cultivation level will drop a little."

"If I stay any longer, there might be even greater danger waiting for me!"

As soon as Xu Yao thought to himself, he quickly used his speed to flee into the distance.

He discovered a cave behind the stone tablet he had just stopped on the riverbank, and he was very excited.

"There must be a lot of sacred-grade spiritual herbs or medicinal materials in this cave!" Xu Yao thought to himself.

Xu Yao quickly ran into the cave.

The cave was very deep and secluded, and Xu Yao observed it as he walked.

"It truly is a treasure trove; the environment inside is indeed exceptionally beautiful."

"This place is absolutely beautiful!" Xu Yao thought to himself.

"Where exactly is this place? How come there are so many sacred-grade spirit stones and sacred-grade spirit herbs here?"

"These sacred spirit stones and sacred spirit herbs are extremely pure, and these sacred spirit medicines are far more valuable than ordinary spirit pills!"

Xu Yao thought to himself.

He secretly planned in his heart that he must raise his cultivation level to the Golden Immortal realm as soon as possible.

With these thoughts in mind, Xu Yao quickened his pace and sped forward.

"It looks like it's not a forest anymore, but a cave." Xu Yao frowned.

At that moment, he suddenly stopped in his tracks.

"Oh no! I completely forgot there's another place underground in this area!"

"That's the real place of evil! If I rashly venture in, I'll surely die a horrible death!"

Xu Yao's forehead was covered in cold sweat, and he deeply regretted not having carefully explored his surroundings earlier.
