Sha Qiang was stripped of his historical narration.
The historian quickly recorded the entire epic battle according to Hazeden, Guyan, and Gu Qing Shan's descriptions.
Of course, Sha Qiang didn't need to know this.
Guyan signaled with his eyes to have his subordinates pull Sha Qiang away to continue drinking.
Hazeden read through the battle record and nodded in satisfaction.
He showed it to Gu Qing Shan.
Gu Qing Shan then gave it to Guyan.
Both of them were satisfied.
That's right.
This is the truth.
"Alright, let's go" Gu Qing Shan said.
He drew his swords and was about to go to the front of the group.
"— — -it's best if you don't go to the front" Hazeden pulled him back.
Guyan said in a roundabout way: "Your swordsmanship is powerful, so you need to act at the most crucial moment, so you should stay behind us for now"
Sha Qiang's voice came from afar: 「 You really can't go to the front. I'll be honest, just by looking at your back right now, I feel like you're going to take the lead again 」
With that, not only did Gu Qing Shan find it hard to refute, everyone else also nodded in agreement.
Gu Qing Shan could only retreat, feeling a bit annoyed.
Huh?
I don't have to take any risks this way, why am I annoyed?
He quickly adjusted his mentality.
"It's better for my men to scout the path —" Roland said.
Sha Qiang said and waved his hand.
Two evil creatures stepped out from behind him, their limbs touching the ground.
The evil creatures slowly turned into two grey hounds, their bodies engulfed in the flames of Purgatory.
「 Go 」 Sha Qiang ordered.
The two hounds of Purgatory went into the dark tunnel.
— — -inside was the secret passage to the Dusty World.
A few moments later.
Sha Qiang suddenly said: 「 No problem, it's safe inside 」
"Then we'll go as well" Hazeden said.
Everyone nodded.
Hazeden's subordinates, Guyan's followers, and Sha Qiang's subordinates spread out and entered the secret passage.
Gu Qing Shan looked at everyone's movements, then pulled Su Cher back with him.
Together with Hazeden's group, they finally entered the secret passage.
…
Complete darkness.
There were some glowing minerals and gems on the small plaza that could illuminate the surroundings.
But after entering, he could barely see anything.
— — if it weren't for the Infernal Flames that evil creatures were born with, if it weren't for the fact that Guyan and the others practiced Fire-type spells, perhaps everyone would have no choice but to advance in the dark.
The slippery steps were covered with sticky bloodstains and minced meat.
Many people accidentally fell on the steps and rolled down a long distance.
Sometimes, as soon as he steadied himself on the ground, he would see the half-eaten heads and the wriggling remains of the monsters.
After a while, Hazeden finally couldn't help himself and gestured to his follower.
Someone immediately cast a spell.
— Boiling Wind.
The gale howled, blowing the entire path downward. The messy corpses and blood were all swept away by the gale, eventually disappearing into the void.
The road finally became a little easier to walk on, but it was impossible to completely clean up the bloodstains, so there were still large patches of red and black on the road.
"This technique is used to prevent poisonous fog and bewildering environments" Hazeden explained.
"Hm, that's not a bad way to use it" Gu Qing Shan commented.
Everyone continued walking down the path.
About half an hour later.
「 Stop 」 Sha Qiang said.
Everyone stopped.
"Did we run into an enemy ahead?" Guyan asked.
「 No, take a look at this 」 Sha Qiang said.
It whistled.
A blurred figure appeared in front of them.
A Purgatory Hound returned to the group with something in its mouth.
Sha Qiang gave the item to Guyan.
「 I'm not sure, our civilization doesn't have such a creature 」 Guyan replied.
Guyan shook his head and gave it to Hazeden.
Hazeden also couldn't recognize it. It ended up in Gu Qing Shan's hands.
Gu Qing Shan carefully observed it.
— — -this was a small piece of bone. Unlike the known creatures of the 900 million World Layers, this bone claw was covered in countless spikes, each bone was engraved with ancient runes.
The War God UI didn't react at all, which meant that this bone was useless.
"Do you recognize it?" Guyan asked.
"I don't"
Gu Qing Shan shook her head while focusing her attention on the bone.
「 If you don't recognize it, what are you looking at? 」 Sha Qiang asked in a hoarse voice.
Gu Qing Shan smiled and said: "Please give me a bit more light, this place isn't bright enough, I need to take a good look"
Sha Qiang walked in front of him.
The flames of Purgatory were still burning on its body, illuminating Gu Qing Shan's surroundings.
Gu Qing Shan continued to observe the bone with the help of the light.
"Did you find anything?" Hazeden asked.
"It's hard to say, this bone isn't pure" Gu Qing Shan replied.
"Not pure?" Hazeden doubtfully asked.
"That's right, this isn't the bone of a living being — — - you should know, I can tell the weight and hardness of a living being's bones as soon as I touch them, I know where to cut them and how much strength to use. But this bone doesn't seem to be a simple bone …"
Saying so, Gu Qing Shan tossed the bone into the air.
A sword gleam flashed.
Crack!
The bone was cut in half and fell down.
Hazeden caught the bone together with him and looked again.
Surprisingly, there was a small corpse in this piece of bone.
The corpse was only about the size of a thumb, it turned into dust as it came into contact with the wind and disappeared without a trace.
"A pixie!"
Gu Qing Shan and Hazeden exclaimed at the same time.
The two of them exchanged glances, not knowing why they would run into a pixie's corpse here.
At this point, Sha Qiang seemed to have sensed something and told the group: 「 There's something ahead 」
Everyone moved forward again.
About 10 minutes later, they arrived at the place Sha Qiang mentioned.
Two Purgatory Hounds were wandering around here.
Not too far away from them, a giant skeletal claw appeared.
The passage should have been wide enough for 7-8 people to walk side by side, but this skeletal claw had completely filled up the entire passage, leaving only a small gap.
The walls around them were scratched by the skeletal claw.
From the looks of it, it looked like the skeletal claw was trying to grab something.
Everyone observed the skeletal claw.
"It's blocking the passage" Hazeden muttered.
Guyan doubtfully asked: "But this skeletal claw isn't moving at all, as if it hasn't moved for a very long time, how did those masked cultivators get through?"
Sha Qiang replied: 「 Isn't it obvious? They probably teleported away directly. "
Guyan glanced at it but didn't say anything.
Sha Qiang thought for a bit, then signaled one of the Purgatory Hounds to come forward.
The Purgatory Hound jumped forward and tried biting the skeletal claw.
The skeletal claw didn't move.
The other Purgatory Hound squeezed through the gap between the skeletal claw, stuck close to the wall, and returned after a while.
The Purgatory Hound reported: 「 Boss, the skeletal claw was connected to a thick arm bone, which completely blocked the passage without leaving a single gap for us to pass through, so I had no choice but to return 」
Everyone pondered.
What kind of monster's remains are these, and why are they so large?
Hazeden gestured.
His two subordinates tossed Cards into the air, which transformed into Ice and Fire spell techniques, all of which crashed heavily into the skeletal claw.
The skeletal claw didn't move at all, and even after the spells ended, it was unharmed.
— — -could it be an inanimate object?
To be able to resist both Ice and Fire, the material seems to be quite strong.
Sha Qiang pondered for a bit, then ordered:
「 Seems like this thing has been around for a long time, it's probably broken now, the few of you go and clean it up so that everyone can pass through 」
The evil creatures stepped forward, raised their weapons, and struck the skeletal claw with all their might.
As soon as they struck it, everyone felt their vision blurring.
The ferocious skeletal claw left several afterimages in its wake as it grabbed the evil creatures and crushed them into meat paste.
Green blood splattered all over the wall.
The skeletal claw retracted and disappeared without a trace.
It was now that everyone realized.
「 Bastard! You dared to kill my people, I want you dead! 」
Sha Qiang angrily roared and was about to charge forward.
Gu Qing Shan stopped it and shouted: "You're not a match for it!"
As Sha Qiang was about to say something, it heard a sound.
A desperate scream resounded from afar behind the skeletal claw.
The scream slowly faded away.
The sound of heavy chewing could be heard again and again.
Everyone's hearts slowly sank.
— — the owner of this skeletal claw was eating.
What kind of entity could have such a gigantic claw?
This entity seemed to be stuck in the passage, only able to reach out with its skeletal claw and wait for its prey to take the bait.
"We've all lost our powers" Hazeden solemnly said: "Spells are useless against it, and with its speed and strength, we can't deal with it"
Sha Qiang opened its mouth, but couldn't say anything.
Gu Qing Shan pondered: "At first, it let the Purgatory Hounds bite at it without moving, only when 7-8 of them took the bait did it strike …"
"Obviously, this monster is still alive"
While everyone was talking, a series of rumbling noises resounded from the end of the passage.
The skeletal claw once again approached and appeared in everyone's line of sight.
It laid there without moving, blocking the path forward as if it had never moved in the first place.
Tick tock.
Tick tock.
The evil creature's blood slowly dripped from the skeletal claw.
