Longevity And Romance Begin With The Redemption Of A Good Family

Chapter 371 Cat Demon

After passing through the corridor at the entrance, Lu Yu finally arrived at the back half of the main hall.

However, this place was even darker than the corridor, with no trace of light.

If it were just the lack of light, it would be fine, but the key issue was that he found his divine sense greatly hindered.

It was as if the surrounding air had become heavy.

Originally, his divine sense could clearly detect any movement within a radius of over ten meters. Even a speck of dust floating in the air couldn't escape his eyes.

But when he reached the end of the corridor, this range instantly dropped to less than five meters!

"There's something strange here."

Lu Yu narrowed his eyes slightly, hesitating whether he should continue walking inside.

Their mission this time was just an exploration task in the Tianya City ruins.

In theory, they had already entered the basic area of the Tianya City and eliminated some dangers, which could be considered as completing the mission.

If they were to retreat now, the reward would not be lacking for them.

But he always felt somewhat unwilling.

Ancient ruins were almost always treasure troves. Some treasures in these ruins were hidden very deep.

That's why these ruins were searched over and over again, yet there were always people going to them.

This Tianya City seemed to have not been explored recently, so the chances of obtaining treasures were greater.

The premise, of course, was to have enough luck and adventurous spirit.

Lu Yu carefully considered it.

There was nothing worth paying attention to in the rest of the Tianya City. Most of the buildings had turned into ruins, making it difficult to find anything useful.

Only this main hall was the most suspicious and likely to have good things.

Of course, danger also existed.

After thinking for a moment, he finally made up his mind.

"Let's go for it! Returning empty-handed from a treasure mountain, there won't be time for regrets. I'm just one step away from the Gold Core stage, I have to work hard!"

After making his decision, he fully released his divine sense without reservation and slowly walked into the main hall.

Darkness, the whole main hall gave a feeling of darkness, endless darkness.

Due to the obstruction of the corridor, there wasn't even a trace of light in this part of the main hall.

He didn't rush to light a torch, relying on his divine sense to slowly move forward.

The main hall was quite large. It took him about half an incense stick's worth of time to reach the deepest part of the main hall.

"It's actually a statue? But where did that white cat go?"

After his divine sense touched the opposite wall, Lu Yu carefully looked and saw a statue at least ten meters tall on the wall in front of him.

This statue had a fierce and evil appearance, and he didn't know which deity it was dedicated to.

Just as his divine sense touched the statue, the statue's eyes suddenly opened, revealing a blood-red light.

"Not good!"

In the darkness, a pair of blood-red eyes suddenly appeared, shocking Lu Yu.

These blood-red eyes were filled with evilness. Even if he just glanced at them, he could feel the ferocious aura emanating from them.

Feeling that something was wrong, he immediately retreated, wanting to escape from the main hall first.

But just as he was rapidly retreating, a white figure suddenly appeared at the entrance behind him.

That white cat.

After leading him in, the white cat disappeared, but unexpectedly appeared behind him.

It was clear that the white cat was not friendly. After trapping him in the main hall, it released an extremely powerful aura.

"The aura of a demonic spirit! And its strength is at least at the peak of the Foundation Building stage!"

Almost in an instant, Lu Yu judged the opponent's strength.

If it was just a cat spirit at the peak of the Foundation Building stage, he was confident he could escape unscathed.

But the key issue was the unknown strength of the statue behind him.

Just as he opened his eyes, he felt an almost irresistible aura. If it were to attack... Lu Yu didn't think he could withstand the attack of such a huge creature.

"This is a bit troublesome."

With enemies in front and behind, Lu Yu had to push the Tianji Heart Technique to its limits.

Then, he cautiously struck the cat spirit in front of him.

"Bang!"

Without seeing the cat spirit move, his strike was easily blocked.

It was as if he had struck a wall.

"Hiss, this is troublesome."

Seeing that his strike, which had seventy percent of his strength behind it, had no effect, Lu Yu forced himself to focus and prepared to launch another attack.

This time, he gathered all his strength. If he couldn't break through the cat spirit's defense this time, he would have to prepare to face the even more formidable statue behind him.

"Meow..."

Just as he gathered his strength and was about to launch his attack, the cat spirit suddenly let out a cry.

Clearly, it also sensed the fierce aura emanating from him.

Its strength was even higher than that of a cat spirit at the peak of the Foundation Building stage. Even though it was a demonic spirit, it felt a deadly threat.

"Don't attack, let's talk!"

The cat spirit suddenly spoke.

Then, probably to show sincerity, the torches on the walls around the hall suddenly lit up, illuminating the interior of the hall.

"Hmm?"

Lu Yu slightly restrained his spiritual power and carefully surveyed his surroundings.

With the illumination from the torches, he could see everything around him clearly.

The entire hall was empty, with only a statue on the innermost wall.

At this moment, the statue's eyes were closed, showing no signs of any abnormalities.

What surprised him a little was that the face of the supreme statue was actually that of a cat!

"Who are you, and why did you lead me here?"

Lu Yu glanced at the nearly half-human-sized white cat in front of him and asked cautiously.

Previously, in the darkness, he could only sense that it was quite large, but he didn't expect it to be this big.

It was almost as big as some small leopards.

He couldn't believe that such a large cat demon would be powerless.

"You're an alchemist, right? I can sense a strong pill aura from you."

The cat spirit licked its paw and suddenly asked.

"What, you don't think an alchemist is capable of killing you? Just being at the peak of the Foundation Building stage is nothing to me."

Lu Yu deliberately didn't mention the statue behind him that made him fearful.

But the cat spirit didn't seem to care either and licked its paw again.

"So, you've noticed that I'm about to break through? That makes things easier. I need a Foundation Building Pill. If you can get one for me, I'll exchange it for the treasures in the city! Don't tell me you think the entire Tianya City is now just a ruin?"

"You want to break through using a Foundation Building Pill? Weren't you always a cat demon?"

Lu Yu was slightly surprised.

The demon race was different from the human race. Humans could break through by taking pills, but generally, the demon race was not suitable for this cultivation method due to their physical structure.

This cat demon seemed a bit strange.
