Chapter 1241: Subterranean Beast King
Back in time to a few minutes ago.
Fighting the Subterranean Beasts had exhausted the ten-man bounty team beyond compare. They'd struggled on the edge of life and death, but after Ye Zichen released the yao from the Yao-Sealing Pagoda, they finally relaxed.
Little did they know, as they relaxed, danger had crept up on them.
Not long ago, Chen Guangfa had noticed a particularly eye-catching sandbag behind Xue Mo.
After all, this was a barren desert. This sort of abnormally protruding sandbag shouldn't exist. As a result, Ye Zichen's gaze lingered on it until it burst through the sand.
"Senior Apprentice Sister."
Chen Guangfa's eyes were filled with undisguisable terror. Murong Xue and the others were safe, so Xue Mo was in an excellent mood.
She smiled and cocked her head to the side, an indescribable look in her eyes. Then she saw Chen Guangfa point behind her and yell urgently, "Behind you!
"Behind you, run!"
His cry of alarm drew the others' attention as well. When they looked behind Xue Mo, none of them made a sound.
When Xue Mo heard this, she turned around. The instant she did, she discovered that an enormous shadow loomed over her.
In front of her was a ten-thousand-meter-tall creature covered in a silver armor-like shell. The pair of sharp claws that flickered with a cold glint were like sharp blades that had been sharpened countless times. Under the demonic purple pupils, there was a faint smile at the corner of the mouth.
"King-level."
Its enormous body was like a mountain that blotted out the sky. Everyone stood in its shadow.
"Li Hu, why are you shaking?"
Luo Zi stiffly turned to look at Li Hu. Only then did he realize that Li Hu's axe was trembling violently.
"I'm shaking, but aren't you shaking too?" Li Hu forced a smile, then gulped as he looked at the Subterranean Beast.
King-level yao.
Just like the clan heads and elders of human clans, king-level yao wielded real power in their clans. They were also one of the strongest experts.
Any yao that could be called king-level was at least a fourth-stage diviner.
Subterranean Beasts were just the weakest of the divine beast clans. How could a king-level beast possibly appear? Furthermore, none of them had sensed it.
It was as if the entire world had frozen in place.
"Humans."
The silver-armored King-level Subterranean Beast had yet to transform into human form and speak. The person in front of him gulped as his pupils constricted violently. He was extremely nervous.
The Subterranean Beast King raised its head and looked at the corpses of the Subterranean Beasts in the distance.
"These are the people of this King's race! Humans, you're really despicable!"
Suddenly, the Subterranean Beast King snorted.
The coarse breath sent Ye Zichen and co. flying several tens of meters away like a wave of hot air.
"Is this the power of a King level demonic beast?"
Jiang Yong's eyes were filled with astonishment. He was half a step into the Deva Realm, and yet he couldn't even withstand a breath like that.
"Retreat, retreat quickly!"
After a brief moment of shock, Jiang Yong calmly came to a decision.
This wave of Qi seemed very strong, and they were powerless to resist it. However, as the shockwave sent them flying, it also widened the distance between them and the Subterranean Beast King.
With this distance, they might be able to board the flying boat …
"Xue Mo's still there," said Murong Xue, frowning. "Besides, even if you fly the boat at full speed, it's only as fast as a fourth-stage diviner. Beast kings are at least fourth-stage diviners, but look at its size. I'm afraid it's at least a seventh-stage sky supreme. How are we supposed to run? "
She'd lived for so long, but this was the first time she'd faced a Subterranean Beast King like this. When she saw the Subterranean Beast King less than ten meters away from her, the only thought in her mind was to run.
But for some reason, it was as if her body was completely out of her control. All she could do was stand there in a daze.
"This beast king really is huge. It's just like Daddy said, it's even bigger than his dharma body."
Xue Mo inexplicably laughed. She couldn't control her limbs to run. Even if she tried, it would be difficult to escape.
She just stared at the colossal beast, thinking back to what her father had told her back at home.
"The God Realm hasn't been peaceful lately. The outside world is far more dangerous than you imagine. Our family is the safest place."
"Why are you so disobedient? Don't tell me the nearby cities aren't enough for you to play around in?"
"Do you want to be like your sister? Do you want to be sent to the Divine Mountains to temper yourself so you can grow up?"
"Forget it. If you want to leave, then leave. I can't stop you."
When she was young, she was like a bird trapped in a cage. She'd yearned for the outside world, always thinking that one day, she'd escape.
Now that she'd grown up, she still thought the same thing.
She'd vowed that if anything happened, she'd take responsibility. But no matter what happened, her family would always clean up for her. Even so, they couldn't stop her stubbornness.
A bounty mission.
Another bounty mission.
Anti-Upheaval had been destroyed because she'd insisted on going on a bounty mission. She'd even chosen the mission herself. Back then, Anti-Upheaval's leader, her cousin, had used his own body to block the most dangerous attack in order to save her.
She lived, he died!
In the end, Anti-Upheaval's entire team died. She was the only one left alive.
Now, she'd chosen another bounty mission.
Danger reared its ugly head.
Everyone had followed her as they wandered the line between life and death. In the face of true despair, all she'd thought about was forcing Ye Zichen to reveal his territory. She'd saved Murong Xue and the others, but now ….
Should she ask Ye Zichen for help?
His followers were indeed very strong, but they were nothing in front of a King Stage Demonic Beast.
What should she do now?
Xue Mo asked herself, but no matter how hard she racked her brains, she couldn't think of a solution.
"I really should listen to Daddy," she thought to herself with an enigmatic smile.
Then she put away her resentment. Her eyes flashed with sharp light, and a layer of frigid air appeared beneath her feet.
"I'll hold it off! You guys run!"
She screamed until her voice cracked.
When they heard her shout, everyone could sense that Xue Mo was unafraid of death. Even Ye Zichen froze.
Perhaps he'd misunderstood her all along.
She was troublesome, like a star of calamity. She always brought trouble to others. But after her angry shout just now, he felt that he needed to re-examine the relationship between the two of them.
Who knew? They might even become friends.
Not just on the surface, but real friends like Little White and the others.
"None of you can run. You look so white and tender, so you must be delicious. Let's start with you."
The Subterranean Beast King's claws instantly swiped at Xue Mo.
Several ice shields appeared above her head, but they were as fragile as paper before the beast's claws.
She felt despair.
It was just like Anti-Upheaval's mission.
She'd stared blankly in despair, until ….
A towering figure stood in front of her.
