Chapter 130: Running Into A Joyful Union Sect Demon Person! Two Magical Artifacts Blown Up!
Chen Han saw the description of heavy demonic shadows, and with the function of the Cloud Barrier Cauldron, he roughly formed a guess.
The Cloud Barrier Cauldron was a Magical Artifact. When intact, the refined Cloud Barrier Pills could turn into cloud mist that covered several li. If an intact Cloud Barrier Cauldron self-destructed, it could even generate cloud mist covering more than ten li.
Its function was to influence and obstruct enemies.
In the Shu Shan Swordsman World, cultivators flew back and forth. Even the weak were stronger than ordinary martial artists, so simple cloud mist alone should not cause too much impact.
But if some kind of phantoms appeared within the cloud mist to attract the enemies’ attention and keep them from daring to relax, the effect would be much greater.
So, heavy demonic shadows was likely this meaning: as the cloud mist spread, this additional influence was added.
As for whether it needed to be tested.
He immediately took out a Cloud Barrier Pill from the Warehouse. During this period, he had been refining Cloud Barrier Pills every day, so the number of Cloud Barrier Pills in the Warehouse was indeed quite large.
However, most were of 10-meter range. The others were of 1-meter or 2-meter range, and those with 20-meter range were very few.
This Cloud Barrier Pill was the one with the largest range, reaching a coverage radius of 30 meters.
He planned to use this Cloud Barrier Pill for a refined experiment.
He placed this Cloud Barrier Pill into the cauldron, and the Game Prompt appeared again:
【Do you want to spend 50,000 reputation to refine the Cloud Barrier Pill?】
Chen Han nodded and directly chose refinement.
Then he saw the reputation value in his mind decrease by 50,The runes on the Cloud Barrier Cauldron lit up and flowed around it, beginning to refine this Cloud Barrier Pill.
He had thought refining this Cloud Barrier Pill would take quite some time, but unexpectedly, it was just like ordinary refinement, and it did not take long before it was completed.
【Congratulations, you have spent 50,000 reputation to refine one Cloud Barrier Pill!】
This refined Cloud Barrier Pill was obviously different. An extra rune had appeared on its surface, and its color had become darker and more profound.
Chen Han immediately stored this Cloud Barrier Pill in the Warehouse and checked the Remark Information:
【Refined Cloud Barrier Pill（30 meters）: this is a refined Cloud Barrier Pill. The coverage range of its cloud mist has reached 30 meters. Once crushed, it can instantly cover an area of 30 meters in diameter with cloud mist, and heavy demonic shadows will appear to affect enemies.】
Seeing this Remark Information, Chen Han confirmed it was indeed different from an ordinary Cloud Barrier Pill.
He grew even more curious about the effect of heavy demonic shadows.
With that thought, he immediately left his own Courtyard and walked toward the mountain behind the Chen Clan.
This Cloud Barrier Pill had a range of 30 meters, and the situation of heavy demonic shadows was uncertain, making it unsuitable for experiments inside the Chen Clan, especially now that there were too many Tourists there.
Chen Han was very familiar with the mountain behind. When he was young, he often ran all over it, and adults in the clan had cleared small paths up the mountain.
Later, the clan members went out to Work, and no one maintained these paths, so weeds had grown over them.
After going up the mountain, he first selected a very well-shaped, very balanced Branch to probe the Grass.
For a Child who grew up in the Countryside, there was probably no way to refuse such a Weapon in hand.
Swinging the Branch would surely lay waste to all the flowers and grass on the mountain.
Before long, he found a relatively open Place which was already far from the City, where no one could see.
He took out that Cloud Barrier Pill.
Crush.
Just like with an ordinary Cloud Barrier Pill, cloud mist instantly spread in all directions, covering the 30-meter range, and the cloud mist thickness exceeded 3 meters vertically, with visibility less than 5 meters.
One could say that a person within the mist could hardly see the surroundings.
Soon, he discovered the difference between the mist from the refined Cloud Barrier Pill and ordinary mist. He saw a black figure appear within the mist.
Or rather, a figure formed by condensed black Smoke. At first, the figure was indistinct, but gradually, one could see horns on its head and several arms holding eerie axes, and crucially, its eyes seemed to be staring at people.
The figure walked forward slowly. The closer it came, the clearer it became, like a demon shrouded in black qi.
Then a second, a third… figures appeared one after another.
Chen Han looked at a nearby figure, waved his hand, and that figure twisted. The part hit by his swing turned into black Smoke and dispersed.
This was heavy demonic shadows.
It was truly intimidating.
Chen Han took out his Mobile Phone, wanting to see whether he could record it. After he turned on the video recording function, he found that he actually could. In the video, the scene of heavy demonic shadows could be clearly seen.
Indeed, heavy demonic shadows were in essence also condensed cloud mist, not fundamentally different from the previous cloud mist.
The Cloud Barrier Technique had been recordable before, so naturally this was also recordable now.
Seeing this, he felt this was very good material. Since the previous video data had stopped, and the Chen Clan currently had Popularity, it was just the right time to shoot a video and upload it.
So he immediately spoke toward his phone: “damn it, the clan members reported that a Special Illusory Formation appeared on Green Luan Peak. I did not expect so many demonic shadows inside the formation. It must be the work of a Demonic Cult Rogue. Watch me slaughter all these demonic shadows!”
As he spoke, he swung the Branch in his hand used for probing the Grass, dispersing each approaching demonic shadow.
He struck with fierce precision. Even from the first-person perspective, the force in his swings could instantly scatter the demonic shadows.
From the perspective of the phone video, this absolutely looked cooler than those immortal-hero film and television special effects.
Truly, these demonic shadows were so lifelike that, even though they were only condensed from cloud mist, if ordinary people suddenly encountered this scene, they would definitely be scared stiff.
Fortunately, there was no one here now.
But just as this thought arose, three terrified cries, one from a Man and two from Women, suddenly sounded:
“Ah, what the hell is that thing!”
“It really… really is…”
“Is he not just playing Abstract…”
With the voices came the sounds of three people stepping on Branches and leaves as they ran frantically outward.
“???” Chen Han was directly Confused.
Up on this wild mountain, what was going on?
In the next moment, the Game Prompt that appeared made him even more Confused:
【After you used the refined Cloud Barrier Pill, heavy demonic shadows that were hard to distinguish from reality appeared and directly scared away the two Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators who were hiding here and casting spells on a Cauldron. They seem to have left something behind…】
“???” Chen Han was dumbfounded.
What did that mean?
Just now, when he came up the mountain, there had been two Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators performing a ritual here with a Cauldron?
This Cauldron was really unlucky, suffering double torment.
The key point was that he had not even noticed anyone.
They must have been hiding in the Grass nearby, staying silent when they saw him coming.
Knowing how to squat in the Grass, how sinister.
Previously, he and his Junior Sister had already discovered Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators in the Parking Lot, but he had not expected them to be so driven as to even come up the mountain.
Or perhaps it was some sort of fetish requirement.
By absorbing the Cauldron here, they might gain greater Benefits.
Thinking of the Game System’s prompt, he curiously walked toward the direction of the voices just now. Before long, he found a patch of Grass. From the outside, nothing stood out, but when he parted the Grass, he could see a flattened space inside.
The marks even showed signs of rolling, with a very wide width on both sides.
Judging from the broken Grass, it was not fresh.
There were also discarded paper balls inside, clearly not from today.
In other words, these Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators had cultivated here more than once.
And beyond cultivating, they had also littered.
Shameless.
But looking at those pants, the short skirt, and even the small items…
How were these Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators and the Cauldron supposed to go down the mountain?
Could it be that they had been scared into running freely with the wind toward freedom?
Of course, this was not what Chen Han cared about most. He looked instead at the two floating balls of light.
One light orb contained a Primary Spirit Stone.
The other light orb contained a very exquisite Body Sculpting Ring Set. Just by appearance, the Rings were attractive works of art.
This was the Surprise left by the Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators.
Without hesitation, he stored both light orbs in the Warehouse and checked the information on the Ring set:
【Joyful Union Sect Sister Body Sculpting Ring Set: this is a special Magical Artifact Ring set jointly refined by a pair of sisters from the Joyful Union Sect. These Rings have no offensive or defensive power, but special Spiritual Markings are engraved on them.
If worn long-term by a woman, the Rings have special effects: they improve body sculpting results during exercise, making the wearer’s figure more perfect; they can slow the aging of the wearer’s skin.
Restriction: effective only for the bound female target, and can only bind to one female target.】
Chen Han was truly surprised.
He had only come to experiment with the refined Cloud Barrier Pill. He had really not expected to encounter such a stroke of luck.
He had done nothing at all and had directly scared away two Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators, gaining a Primary Spirit Stone and two Magical Artifact Rings.
Although these Magical Artifact Rings were completely useless to him and could only be used by women, their functions were indeed worthy of the Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators. It also explained why in the Shu Shan Swordsman World those Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators had such great figures that could attract unlucky Cauldrons.
These unconventional functions immediately made him think of his Junior Sister and Xiao Mi.
A Sister Body Sculpting Ring Set, one for each Best Friend, fit perfectly.
Xiao Mi’s figure was already good. With this Ring, her figure would only become better.
And once her figure improved, then hehe hehe…
She had said they would be dual cultivation Dao partners.
The key was delaying aging. This Attribute would be extremely appealing for a Girl.
He also checked the Primary Spirit Stone that had dropped along with it. He had just used one up and only had one left in the Warehouse, so this came quite timely.
Also, the drop rate of these Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators seemed pretty high.
He wondered if he should find a time to sweep through some Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators.
He had heard they had some very special cultivation methods.
With this drop rate, something good might appear.
Chen Han collected his thoughts and walked out of the cloud mist. Outside, he looked around and saw no trace of the Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators. It seemed they really had been scared into running down the mountain with the wind.
Understandable. Any normal person who saw those demonic shadows would be terrified.
He also observed the cloud mist coverage again. It clearly lasted longer than that of an ordinary Cloud Barrier Pill, taking at least twice as long to slowly disperse.
The effect was stronger.
In reality, people trapped inside it would not only lose their vision immediately, but also be frightened by the demonic shadows. At that moment, if a toothpick flew from the dark…
Too sinister, not the work of the Righteous Path.
Chen Han shook his head. He would definitely not do such a thing. Seeing the cloud mist begin to dissipate, he headed down the mountain.
When he passed by the Martial Arts Field in front of the Service Center, he suddenly found it very lively. A group of Tourists was gathered there, many of them holding Mobile Phones to film.
There was even an angry Woman’s voice coming from inside: “you slut, you go out to sell yourself, you seduce other people’s Husband!”
Chen Han stepped forward to see. In the Martial Arts Field, four Women were in a brawl. Two of the Women had disheveled clothes; one had lost her short skirt, and one had lost everything.
Nearby was a Man with a bruised and swollen face, also with his pants gone. He was very thin, with hardly any flesh on him.
Seeing this scene, Chen Han seemed to understand.
“Stop fighting, separate!” Xiao Yu’s angry voice rang out. She directly used a Stick in her hand to separate the four fighting Women.
Chen Dagou also led people from the Demon Subduing Hall to block them.
Seeing this, Chen Han stepped forward and tentatively asked, “Uncle Dagou, what is going on?”
His words drew the attention of the surrounding Tourists, who all looked toward him:
“the Chen Family Head is here, now we can know whether what that man said is true.”
“just ask the Chen Family Head and we will know!”
“…”
Chen Dagou looked awkward as he explained, “just now, this Mister and the two Ms. with disheveled clothes ran over here, and they were seen by the other two Ms. One of them seems to be this Mister’s Wife, and then they started fighting.”
“then this Mister said that he did nothing with the two Ms., that he did not know them at all, that they just went for a walk up the mountain and met each other, and he also said there was a Devil on the mountain behind our Chen Clan.”
“he also said that Devil had Ox Horns and several hands and carried eerie axes, and that these Devils were the ones who stripped the clothes off him and the two Ms. like this.”
“???” Chen Han was basically sure that these three were the Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators and the Unlucky Cauldron he had encountered on the mountain, who had been scared by the heavy demonic shadows from the Cloud Barrier Pill and had run down.
He had not expected that once they came down the mountain, they would be caught.
Using this as an excuse, no one would believe it.
The Tourists around, hearing this, could not hold back their laughter. Some even joked:
“this man is a real talent, coming up with an excuse like that and even dragging in the Chen Family Head.”
“look at the Chen Family Head, even he looks Confused.”
“haha, the Chen Family Head clearly looks bewildered.”
“…”
At this time, Chen Dagou continued, “Xiao Han, this Mister also said you could testify for him, that you happened to be up there wiping out the demonic shadows… um… he sounded quite convincing…”
“uh, that actually is very good material. I think we can make a video about it.” Chen Han also spoke very earnestly and nodded to indicate confirmation.
Although what the man said had some truth, he absolutely could not testify to that.
Upon hearing him, the surrounding Tourists laughed unrestrainedly.
What was going on with this Man was obvious to everyone. He had told a lie that was clearly fake at first hearing, and now he had been exposed directly by the Chen Family Head.
Hearing the mockery all around, the Man looked completely Confused, staring blankly at Chen Han.
The two Joyful Union Sect Demonic Cultivators were the same.
He was lying…
Truly, he was lying.
There really were demonic shadows on the mountain; he was trying to cover it up…
