When system cheat becomes rampant!-Chapter 801 - 585: Giant Spirit’s Onlookers

Boom!

The giant hand struck the black jade tree, causing the entire tree to violently tremble. A strong wave erupted and smashed into Xiang Beifei, sending him flying.

"What bad luck!"

Xiang Beifei felt his blood and energy unstable. He extended his hand, transforming the breath soil into a chain, pulling both Erha and Little Youmeng over. He then flipped and leapt onto a large leaf, stabilizing himself.

Once again, a terrifying aura rolled through the air, accompanied by a thunderous roar. A thick, massive pillar came crashing down toward Xiang Beifei. This giant pillar was gray, very coarse, with a diameter of over ten meters, and emitted a gray-brown aura.

But soon, he realized this was not a giant pillar at all but one of the giant spirit’s fingers!

"Damn it!"

Xiang Beifei gasped and quickly leapt downward.

Crash!

The black jade tree’s leaves trembled again when poked by this finger, but the finger didn’t stop there. Wherever Xiang Beifei flew, the thick finger would follow and poke. If it hit him, it would be as easy as crushing an ant.

He landed on a leaf, and even though it also trembled violently, he noticed a groove beneath the leaf, resembling a branch part. He quickly hid inside, using his Orifice Perception to conceal and disguise himself.

The giant spirit suddenly lost its perception of Xiang Beifei, and the finger stopped, starting to search through the leaves.

"Li Qianluo?" Xiang Beifei tried to communicate with Li Qianluo, but there was no response. Earlier, in the chaos, he and Li Qianluo got separated, and now he had no idea where she was.

"Xiaohei!"

"Woof Woof!"

Fortunately, he could still contact Xiaohei. Xiaohei remained on the tree scar, and the giant spirit couldn’t see Xiaohei at all, so it remained relatively safe. Xiaohei attempted to control the tree scar but found no way to do so and called Xiang Beifei to come up.

"I can’t get there; the big oaf is searching for me!" Xiang Beifei responded in his mind.

Here, he couldn’t traverse space. Even though he used Orifice Perception to disguise himself, any movement causing air to flow would expose him. Especially given the giant spirit’s powerful perception, using spiritual power would render Orifice Perception ineffective.

Swish!

A pair of terrifying eyes swept through the leaves. Although somewhat vacant, they were massive, over thirty meters wide. The pupils were pitch black, resembling a black hole in the sky, impossible to escape once caught.

The giant spirit shook its fingers, flipping through the leaves of the black jade tree, like trying to catch a bug, attempting to find Xiang Beifei.

Suddenly Xiang Beifei had an idea and shouted, "Xiaohei, come over and get the brick!"

When Li Qianluo was there, Xiang Beifei hadn’t used the brick, but now, separated from her, he intended to try controlling the black jade tree with it.

"Woof Woof!" Xiaohei indicated that the tree scar was fundamentally different from the blood altar, with no sockets to be found.

"Then I’ll have to try it myself."

Xiang Beifei took out two bricks and gently tapped them together!

Buzz!

Golden array patterns immediately surrounded Xiang Beifei. He guided these patterns directly onto the tree trunk.

The array patterns, like golden spider webs, slowly climbed up the black jade tree, clinging to the trunk and spreading towards the tree scar above.

The giant spirit’s fingers continued to fiddle with the black jade tree, searching for the hidden Xiang Beifei. His massive finger inadvertently touched the golden array patterns, which quickly drilled onto the finger.

These patterns were formidable, capable of immobilizing anything, even spiritual power. After Xiang Beifei stepped into the Heavenly Connection realm, their power increased even more.

Once the finger was entangled by the golden patterns, the giant spirit obviously realized something and began to pull its finger out. The golden patterns stretched like glue before snapping.

It couldn’t immobilize this behemoth!

But Xiang Beifei didn’t expect success; given the massive size and terrifying strength of the giant spirit, using golden array patterns against it was impossible.

The giant spirit also noticed the thin golden patterns and found them strange. Perhaps to it, its finger felt like it had been glued by the black jade tree. Curious, it leaned its massive face in again, examining the golden patterns spreading along the tree.

Immediately, those gigantic eyes visibly contracted!

"Buzazha!"

The giant spirit roared loudly beside Xiang Beifei!

The sound could overturn the sky, with sound waves sweeping through the air. Even though Xiang Beifei sealed his hearing, he couldn’t endure it. It was a direct soul attack, the impact terrifying.

Xiang Beifei felt uncomfortable being so close, but he quickly seized the opportunity with the Giant Spirit unaware and darted from beneath the large leaves of the black jade tree. Using the leaves for cover and Orifice Perception for protection, he ran swiftly and soon returned to Xiaohei’s side.

"Woof woof!" Xiaohei jumped onto Xiang Beifei’s shoulder.

Xiang Beifei immediately controlled the brick in his hand, channeling the golden formation patterns into the tree bark!

Buzz!

As the golden formation patterns enveloped the tree bark, suddenly a beam of blood light shot skyward, mixed with intertwining black and gold energies. Subsequently, the entire black jade tree ceased its trembling, and every vast black leaf glowed with blood-red veins.

These densely packed red veins appeared eerie, as if they had been filled with Xiang Beifei’s blood, yet the veins quickly became covered with golden formation patterns, turning from red to a resplendent gold.

The entire black jade tree presented a black-gold hue, emitting a mysterious aura, conveying a sense of nobility.

Xiang Beifei suddenly felt a connection with the black jade tree, familiar with every leaf, every branch, every root of the thousand-meter-high tree, as if he himself had become the black jade tree.

Most importantly, the seventy-seven branches engraved with mysterious glyphs, this time he could finally control the combination of these patterns.

But Xiang Beifei didn’t have time to study these patterns as there was still a Giant Spirit beside him shouting "Zha Zha" loudly, and from afar came several exceedingly terrifying auras; they seemed to have heard their companion’s call and were heading this way.

Boom boom boom!

The ground kept rumbling, and other Giant Spirits rushed over, totaling seven or eight, soon surrounding the black jade tree. They were taller than the black jade tree, encircling it completely.

"Ba Zha Zha!" The initially dull-witted Giant Spirit roared again.

"Tree Zha Zha!" Another voice, deep like an ancient bell, responded.

"Leaf Zha Zha! Gold Zha Zha!"

A Giant Spirit with a slightly sharper voice pointed at the black jade tree, whose veins had turned gold, sounding very excited.

...

The group of Giant Spirits stood by the black jade tree, speaking the "Zha Zha" language undecipherable to Xiang Beifei. The terrifying sound waves almost swept Xiang Beifei off the tree bark again.

"This is too terrifying."

Xiang Beifei swallowed, feeling anxious but dared not release the formation patterns from the brick. The patterns, although tearable by the Giant Spirits, evidently restricted them slightly, serving as his sole protective barrier.

Then, the Giant Spirits seemed to cease their arguments, squatting down, with seven or eight solemn faces searching among the tree branches.

A brown, ancient-looking giant face soon spotted Xiang Beifei standing on the tree bark, unexpectedly extending a thick finger, pointing at Xiang Beifei, and joyfully shouting: "Human Zha Zha!"

Xiang Beifei: "..."

Bah! You’re the human Zha Zha!

But this time, at least, they didn’t poke him with a finger; instead, they moved their face to the side, seemingly giving way. Subsequently, another rough-looking giant face approached, crisscrossed with massive furrows as if slashed by someone.

However, Xiang Beifei soon realized that these furrows were likely wrinkles, belonging to an elderly Giant Spirit, also visible with a dense, white beard—each whisker thicker than Xiang Beifei’s thigh.

The elderly Giant Spirit’s gaze was somewhat blurry, as Xiang Beifei appeared minuscule compared to them, smaller than a fingernail. The elderly Giant Spirit seemed to have poor eyesight, then took out a massive lens from somewhere, larger than his own eyes, and hung it in front of them.

After a while, the elderly Giant Spirit looked at Xiang Beifei with curiosity, uttering in a profoundly old and robust voice: "Human Zha Zha?"

Xiang Beifei: "..."

He still watched the Giant Spirits vigilantly, being surrounded by such a terrifying group was far from good. fгeewebnovёl.com

Perhaps due to the sudden transformation of the black jade tree, the Giant Spirits found it fascinating and seemingly harbored less hostility toward Xiang Beifei. Many even sat down, circling the tree and examining him closely.

The elderly Giant Spirit extended a finger towards Xiang Beifei’s position on the tree bark, but didn’t poke him; instead, it halted by Xiang Beifei’s feet, seemingly inviting him to step up.

Xiang Beifei hesitated and exchanged a glance with Xiaohei.

"Woof?"

"Maybe we can try communicating; after all, there are too many mysteries here."

Having been trapped here for a month without a way out, perhaps the Giant Spirits knew something.

Xiang Beifei put away the brick, and soon the golden leaf veins of the black jade tree disappeared, reverting it to its previous pitch-black appearance.

"Tree Zha Zha!"

Seeing the golden formation patterns on the black jade tree vanish, the surrounding Giant Spirits again emitted various booming sounds, seemingly enthusiastically discussing something.
