Chapter Fifty-two: The Grave Beast

  Hu Yun's gaze suddenly darkened, and a strong sense of unease surged up from his heart. This unease did not come from the mountain's vibrations, but from the mysterious power beneath the ground, a power that Hu Yun was unaware of. Yet, his instincts told him that this was something dangerous. Leave, leave quickly! A voice suddenly appeared in Hu Yun's mind, warning him to leave immediately, or else he would die.

  "Crack!" Hu YunTeng's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he crushed the skull in his hand, still covered in dirt. His gaze was like a sharp sword unsheathed, radiating an aura of bloodlust. He couldn't retreat! Another voice roared from within him, "Can't retreat!" This was the pride and arrogance deep within his heart. Since awakening to his heritage, Hu YunTeng had taken pride in being a demon, looking down on the world with disdain. He hated that he was born in this peaceful era; otherwise, he would have become a hero of chaos, a master of his domain. He absolutely wouldn't allow himself to retreat at this moment, nor would he permit himself to be outdone by any other demon, let alone the gods. Since heaven had given him life as a demon with extraordinary talent, he absolutely wouldn't be the first to flee!

  "Su Qi Ruo! Stop!" Xie Ru Wen immediately thought of Su Qi Ruo at this time, Su Qi Ruo's spiritual power had the power to create life, could it be that her spiritual power had triggered something? It must be so!

  "What?" Su Qi Ruo didn't know what had happened, but she clearly felt the vibration of the earth. At first, she thought it was due to using her spiritual power to pull the water vein, so she didn't pay attention to it. Now, she heard Shi Rui Wen's warning and immediately stopped pulling with her spiritual power without thinking much about it, "What's going on?"

  Su Qi rushed to Shi Ruiwen's side and asked, "What's wrong?"

  Shi Ruwen had no time to bother with Su Qiruo, he was feeling the changes in the ground, his intuition told him that this place was very dangerous, but Shi Ruwen had never met an opponent since he awakened to his inherited consciousness, all dangers he could resolve with ease, the only one who hadn't been immediately solved was Lu Ke, the only one who was evenly matched with himself!

  "Too late!" Si Ruiwen suddenly hooked up a mysterious and unpredictable smile, although he warned Su Qi to stop at the first time, but it was too late, too late, he wanted to see what this thing that made him feel crisis was!

  "Hsss——" was like a sudden awakening from a long intoxication, a low and slightly pleasant voice that wildly rushed towards the sky from the ground, the muffled sound suddenly enveloped all directions from the sky, for a moment it was impossible to distinguish the source of the sound, as if it came from a distant god in the sky, wanting to spread its power across the land, intimidating the humble races.

  Su Qi looked around vaguely, trying to find the real source of the sound. She had no idea what was happening and couldn't understand the meaning behind Ye Ruiwen's words. She was simply curious, "What sound?"

  "Who knows!" Shi Ruiwen responded casually, but his spiritual power had already been accumulated in an instant, and as soon as there was any unusual movement, he would quickly launch a counterattack.

  "Hoo—" The strange sound rose for the second time, and this time Su Qier felt a clear sense of discomfort, as if some extremely sharp objects were scratching out an ear-piercing sound on steel plates, making her heart feel inexplicably unwell.

  "That's not quite right!" Su Qi asked uncertainly of Shen Ruiwen.

  "Ahhh——" Before Su Qi's words had even fallen, a deafening sound suddenly rang out, and Su Qi's unguarded mind was instantly filled with the sound of thunder. In an instant, Su Qi felt that he would definitely go deaf. However, what shocked Su Qi even more was that the ground behind the mountain suddenly exploded, and in an instant, the dust that flew up was like a mushroom cloud formed after an atomic bomb explosion, rolling thick black smoke straight into the sky.

  "Expand!" Hu Yunfeng clasped his hands together and raised them above his head, then immediately spread them apart to both sides. The seal followed Hu Yunfeng's movements, rapidly expanding in all directions in an instant. The rolling and gathering dust was like a hail of arrows trying to pierce through the seal and escape, but Hu Yunfeng's seal seemed to have come to life, suppressing the sharp arrows while expanding even faster towards the sky. Only when the arrows had lost their momentum and showed signs of weakening did the seal stop expanding and suppress the dust from returning to the ground.

  As the dust settled, a monster with deer horns, human face, long tongue reaching to its neck and lion body appeared on the ground that had just burst open. The monster glared angrily and shouted, "You have disturbed the gods, you must die to atone for your sin!"

  Such a strange combination, Su Qi's gaze didn't feel out of place at all, as if this strange creature was originally like this. How can it eat with such a long tongue? Won't its mouth get dry? The antlers on the monster's head were tangled and twisted, looking even bigger than the monster itself, could it still move its head like this? It jumped out from underground, how did it move around with those antlers underground? A bunch of questions popped up in Su Qi's mind.

  "What's going on?" Su Qi couldn't help but sigh softly.

  Shi Ruwen gave Su Qi a strange look, wondering if she had gone crazy again. At this time, was she still thinking about what that thing was? Hadn't she heard the monster say something?

  "Back off!" Si Ruiwen warned Su Qieruo, this was a dangerous time and not the moment for her to be foolish.

  Su Qi's brain and the buzzing in her ears hadn't stopped yet, so she couldn't hear the monster or Xi Ruiwen's voice. Seeing that Su Qi didn't react to his advice, Xi Ruiwen couldn't help but shout, "Get out of the way!"

  "What is this after all?" Su Qi didn't seem to have heard Ruiwen's response and asked again subconsciously.

  Shi Ruwen's eyes widened in astonishment, had he really gone deaf? Not daring to think further, Shi Ruwen grabbed Su Qiruo's collar and pulled her behind him, only then did the buzzing noise surrounding Su Qiruo slightly subside.

  "Boom——" A fierce impact suddenly echoed within the boundary, making Su Qi's slightly improved tinnitus worsen again.

  Hu YunTeng was the closest to the monster, so it naturally regarded him as its first target. The monster slightly lowered its head, exposing the deer horns on top of its head, and charged at Hu YunTeng with the horns as its weapon.

  Hu YunTeng dared to make a deal with Si Ruiwen, so he must have some skills; otherwise, he would easily become Si Ruiwen's snack. Suddenly, the skulls scattered all over the mountain floated in mid-air, forming a white whirlwind that wrapped Hu YunTeng tightly at its center.

  The monster thought its deer horns were extremely sharp and didn't care about the changes around it, continuing to charge at Hu YunTeng. However, when the horns touched the white whirlwind, they didn't gain any advantage; instead, due to inertia, the monster was knocked back two steps.

  "How dare you, a mere town's grave beast!" Hu Yunfeng coldly snorted, looking down at the grave beast in front of him with an air of superiority.
