Bone spurs sprouted from its back, its entire skin was a bluish-green, its feet sowhat resembling frog's webbed feet, and a blood vessel-like tube about a ter long hung from the back of its head, which made it look quite nauseating.
The monster's thick hands kept clawing at the flesh on the ground, swallowing large chunks, and with every piece that went down its throat, the blood vessel tube at the back of its head trembled continuously.
"Mmm Mmm Mmm"
Lao Dao firmly covered Lin Ping's mouth, fearing he would make a sound.
Because the corpse on the ground was Lin Yao, who had gone to investigate the situation!
Two lines of tears stread from Lin Ping's eyes. The Lin Family had long declined, and Uncle Lin Yao was Lin Ping's only remaining kin, but now, his only remaining relative was being devoured by a monster!
Suddenly, Lin Ping's eyes widened; Lin Yao's 'corpse' actually twitched a finger!
"Get away!"
He swung away Lao Dao's hand, a purple God-beating Whip appeared in Lin Ping's hand. Although unable to affect immortal power, the God-beating Whip was powerful on its own!
"Swish"
The purple whip lashed sharply against the monster's back, leaving a deep bone-revealing scar.
The monster paused, curiously turned its head, scratched at the wound on its back with its large, broad paw, and clawed off the bloody flesh itself.
"Roar!"
The blood vessel tube at the back of its head rapidly extended towards the wary Lin Ping, and suddenly swerved, flying towards Lao Dao.
"What the hell!"
Lao Dao, flustered, drew his own life-bound long blade, barely shielding against the attack, though his palms cracked, unable to match the monster's strength.
"Uncle!"
Taking advantage of the ti the monster tangled with Lao Dao, Lin Ping quickly moved beside Lin Yao.
At this mont, Lin Yao looked extrely tragic, with a large hole in his chest, much flesh missing, and many internal organs eaten away. However, the monster did not suppress the recovery ability of Lin Yao's Immortal Body, so there was no real danger.
He took out handfuls of elixirs and fed them to Lin Yao, whose face beca slightly flushed as he opened his eyes in anger, clutching Lin Ping's hands tightly, "Run quickly!"
"Boom"
Lao Dao sohow unleashed a Secret Technique, managing to slash off the monster's head despite being unable to use immortal power!
"Let's go first!"
Several hours later, the three finally exited the eerie area.
"What's going on?" Lao Dao's eyes flickered, seemingly pondering on the odds of attacking the two now, but then thought better of it, given the loot was already lost, what's the point of fighting?
"I don't know either." Lin Yao shook his head.
"I rember entering that area, only walking a few steps before being struck by a shadow, then I blacked out. When I woke up, I found my body unable to move, and then it was as you both saw!"
"That monster wasn't the culprit?" Lao Dao asked suspiciously.
Lin Yao shook his head, "I may not be your opponent, but I'm not that weak!"
Lao Dao nodded. When hiring him, the uncle and nephew had sparred a bit; even without immortal power, the earlier monster wasn't capable of bullying them.
"So, there are other dangers inside?" Lao Dao seed eager.
Loose Cultivators fear not danger, only exploring at the risk of Life without gain!
"There are, I advise against going alone, report this news to the City Lord Mansion, we can earn handso rewards!" Lin Yao said wisely.
"I'll listen to Uncle." Lin Ping nodded, nearly losing his last relative scared him; he had no mind for exploring Treasures now.
Lao Dao hesitated for a long ti, finally conceding sowhat reluctantly, "I'm just a Loose Cultivator, I must seize this opportunity, sorry then!"
Watching Lao Dao dive headfirst into the yellow sand, Lin Yao slightly shook his head, "Greed!"
"Let's go!"
"Where to?"
"Star Moon City!"
...........
It is said that Lao Dao, upon entering again, barely walked a few steps before encountering the sa kind of monster.
Facing the greedy-faced monster, which considered him food, Lao Dao's long blade in his hand shone faintly, his arm muscles bulging, "Earlier was just to conceal my strength, you really think I can't deal with you, this ghost thing?"
"Crack"
A blade as swift as Thunderbolt directly severed the blood vessel tube and the monster's head together, dark red blood staining the yellow sand below.
Using the long blade, Lao Dao dissected the monster's corpse and found a dark red crystal within.
"What's this?"
Though Divine Soul couldn't be released, the item in his hand still could be examined.
"A blood crystal enhancing Qi-Blood physique!" Lao Dao's eyes brightened.
Outsiders all regarded Lao Dao as just a Loose Cultivator swordsman, but in truth, Lao Dao was a powerful Body Refiner, the physique his greatest strength!
"Gulp"
Swallowing the crystal in a single gulp, his Qi-Blood slightly surged, Lao Dao showed a hint of delight, "If there were a thousand, perhaps I could directly break through to Little Heavenly Immortal!"
"Roar!"
Two more monsters appeared from far away, Lao Dao rejoiced, "Good timing!"
But Lao Dao celebrated too soon, monsters appeared at increasing speeds, numbers rising, even their strength gradually beginning to enhance.
When Lao Dao broke through to Little Heavenly Immortal, barely having ti to rejoice, a gray shadow appeared behind him, disappointedly saying, "This flesh is really too inferior!"
"Forget it, make do with it!"
The gray shadow, like a fluid, slowly rged into Lao Dao's body, as for Lao Dao himself, his immobile body and terrified expression clearly indicated he was very unwilling.
