boom!

In the turbulent sea, a huge beast with a body length of more than 50 meters rushed out first. Its ferocious and huge body was full of deterrence and oppression.

But the first thing that arrived was a beam of golden light, which instantly penetrated a distance of hundreds of meters and appeared on the left side of the thunder and flame beast.

Wherever the light beam passed, the sea water instantly rioted and was pushed away by the terrifying impact force to form spiral white air waves with terrifying momentum.

However, before the Thunder Flame Beast could make a move, a unicorn killer whale with a black and white whale-shaped shield on its head appeared at his side, blocking the destructive breath.

boom!

The golden breath slammed into the black and white whale-shaped shield, and the terrifying explosion formed circles of golden halos that exploded, turning the sea water within a range of hundreds of meters upside down.

The twisted impact force mixed with the breath forced the killer whale to retreat continuously, and the shield vibrated wildly.

At this moment, endless golden-red flames erupted from the body of the Thunder Flame Beast. The hot and powerful force instantly evaporated the surrounding sea water, causing a rolling tsunami on the seabed.

boom!!

The Thunder Flame Beast turned around and with one claw the sea water exploded like a depth charge, and the nearly sixty-meter-tall level seven peak mutant beast was directly blown away by its claw.

Even under the terrifying power that exploded a hundred times, the energy outside the body of this mutant giant collapsed, half of its flesh and blood exploded, and it couldn't help but scream and wail.

Biu!

The black sword tail, burning with flames and arcs of electricity, shot out at the speed of a sonic boom, piercing through the head of the level seven initial stage behemoth that pounced from behind.

Instant kill.

Boom! At this moment, the Thunder Flame Beast swung its left claw violently, and the sharp claw burning with blazing flames collided with a huge tentacle that rolled over from behind.

Suddenly, a circle of destructive shock waves erupted, and under the rolling tsunami, the tentacle was directly torn apart by the claws of the thunder and fire beast.

In just a moment, the Thunder Flame Beast blasted back two level seven peak and late stage mutant beasts and killed a level seven early stage beast.

Although the creatures that dare to snatch the ancient essence blood are very powerful, the energy fluctuations and aura emitted by each of them are far stronger than their own level, no less than the unicorn killer whale.

But unfortunately, they were facing the mutant beast king.

Just as the Thunder and Flame Beast blew those giant beasts away, the layer of red light that had lasted for who knows how long collapsed silently.

Suddenly, the huge skeleton collapsed at a speed that could be seen by the naked eye, disintegrating into dust like sand, and only two drops of blood the size of a washbasin floated in the sea.

The two drops of blood did not mix with the sea water. They floated in the water like blood-colored pearls, with a faint red light flowing on them.

And as the two drops of ancient blood appeared, an indescribable desolate ancient aura erupted, covering an area of ​​dozens of kilometers in the blink of an eye.

In an instant, the entire sea area was in riot.

The level seven mutant creatures surrounding them are even more crazy.

roar!

The Thunder Flame Beast opened its mouth wide and swallowed a drop of ancient blood in one gulp. Then, ignoring the attack coming from behind, it closed its right claw to wrap the drop of blood.

Boom! The tentacle, tens of meters long, fell on the Thunder Flame Beast, and then shot out with the huge force coming from behind.

In an instant, the Thunder Flame Beast rushed to the front of the unicorn killer whale that was blown away by the golden breath under the violent water flow, roaring and roaring: Roar! Open your mouth.

The unicorn killer whale opened its ferocious mouth without thinking, and then the thunder and fire beast waved its right claw, and half the ancient blood was thrown into its mouth.

The moment the right claw of the Thunder Flame Beast in front grasped the blood, most of the blood seeped into its body through the right claw.

So it’s not that the Thunder Flame Beast wants to eat alone.

Boom! At this moment, an extremely terrifying aura erupted in the distance. Under the powerful and terrifying force, the entire sea area felt as if it was overturned.

Level nine behemoth!

The Thunder Flame Beast's expression turned stern, and it growled, "Roar! Go, run!"

As the Thunder Flame Beast roared, the sea water behind it exploded, and in an instant a huge black vacuum was blasted out by the terrifying force.

The giant thunder and fire beast, which burst out with its swift talent, disappeared instantly.

Roar, roar, roar!!

The remaining level seven beasts and the terrifying beast in the distance instantly became furious, and their huge bodies madly chased in the direction of the Thunder Flame Beast.

In this case, the narwhal that escaped in another direction ignored it.

Because the ancient blood aura emanating from the Thunder Flame Beast was more obvious, covering up the slight aura from the unicorn killer whale.

But even so, the terrifying power of the ninth-level behemoth scared the unicorn killer whale to death. It didn't expect that the two drops of blood could attract such a terrifying creature.

boom!!

The sea surface thousands of meters above exploded, and in the blink of an eye, a giant thunder and fire beast rushed up from the deep sea and leaped hundreds of meters high.

Just as the Thunder Flame Beast rushed out of the sea, a huge black shadow emerged from beneath it, and in the blink of an eye it turned into a black hole covering a hundred meters and swallowed everything.

boom!

Hundreds of thousands of tons of sea water rushed into the sky, and a huge figure with a length of nearly two hundred meters emerged from the surging waves, exuding an extremely terrifying aura.

Although this level nine behemoth appeared last, it was the fastest. After swallowing a level seven mutant beast in one gulp, it rushed behind the Thunder Flame behemoth in just a few breaths.

That huge mouth was like a black hole, emitting a terrifying devouring gravity, trying to swallow up the thunder and fire beast that had absorbed the ancient blood in one gulp.

Bang! A few hundred meters away, the giant beast of thunder and fire crashed into the sea with a bang, splashing water all over the sky.

At the moment it fell into the sea, the sea water behind the Thunder Flame Beast exploded again, and in an instant its figure appeared a mile away thanks to its talent for speed.

boom!

The moment the Thunder Flame Beast disappeared, the place where it fell into the sea exploded with a loud bang, forming a terrifying vortex covering an area of ​​more than 300 meters that swallowed everything.

It was the innate ability of the ninth-level beast.

Boom! The huge body of the beast in the distance smashed into the sea, splashing huge waves that rushed out a hundred meters high, with a terrifying momentum.

But when this level nine behemoth fell into the sea again, it suddenly found that it could no longer sense the breath of the creature with flames burning on its body.

It was as if the mutant creature disappeared from the sea out of thin air.

roar!

The ninth-level behemoth let out a roar that shook the heavens and the earth. Its huge body banged and stirred up huge waves, and it chased in the direction where the breath of the Thunder Flame Beast last disappeared.

More than two thousand meters deep in the dark ocean, a stiff piece of wood without a trace of life slowly sank.

It was the giant thunder and fire beast that had restrained its breath.

Unlike land, the ocean is a three-dimensional structure, especially two or three hundred meters underwater where it is pitch black, without any light, and you can't see very far.

Therefore, as long as you know how to hide, even those powerful beasts will not be able to find a piece of "dead object".

Da Jiao, I've already done my best. I hope you won't be caught up by that level nine beast, otherwise I can only observe a moment of silence for you.

The giant thunder and fire beast thought lightly in his heart as it slowly sank to the bottom of the sea.

With its instantaneous burst of speed, the level nine behemoth that appeared behind it could not catch up with it at all. It only needed to escape two or three kilometers before it could conceal its breath and leave.

But in this case, the narwhal, which has also absorbed some ancient blood, might die.

Considering that they were all 'brothers', the Thunder Flame Beast finally slowed down a bit, and released the ancient blood aura on its body to attract the ninth level beast.

And then I almost got hit myself.

The giant beast's speed was actually terrifying, and the innate abilities it possessed were incredibly powerful. It could attack the Thunder and Flame Beast from a mile away.

As if thinking about something, the Thunder Flame Beast focused its attention inside its body.

After absorbing that drop of semi-ancient blood, the Thunder Flame Beast did not experience a surge in energy, a significant increase in strength, or a crazy increase in size.

It was as if it had not swallowed that drop of blood at all, but instead drank a mouthful of sea water.

Although seemingly unchanged on the surface, the Thunder Flame Beast, which had undergone four evolutionary experiences, could vaguely sense that earth-shaking changes were actually taking place deep inside its body.

After the blood was absorbed into its body, some genes in its body containing ancient information were being activated.

As these genetic information are slowly activated, the originally stable genetic sequence begins to change and begins to affect the cell structure throughout the body.

It’s just that the change was very slow and weak at first, so weak that it was imperceptible.

I really want to sleep. The Thunder Flame Beast closed its eyes slightly, but immediately opened them abruptly, forcing the tiredness to burst out.

With a full-strength burst, the Thunder Flame Beast traveled back a distance of more than 800 kilometers in just two hours, and then rushed into the hot magma flames with a bang.

After returning to its nest, the Thunder Flame Beast finally felt relieved. It closed its eyes, and its huge body curled up in the lava lake and slowly sank.

As it sank, a powerful suction force was invisible from the Thunder Flame Beast, which madly absorbed the endless hot energy around it, and flames were jumping on its body.

At the same time, blue lightning roared and jumped between its dorsal fin, causing the surrounding magma to explode continuously, which was terrifying.

However, it no longer had the energy to pay attention to these thunder and fire beasts. At this moment, its consciousness was confused and it fell into a deep sleep. It vaguely saw many strange scenes.

Countless fires fell from the sky, turning the world into a blazing hell, burning everything.

The thick earth collapsed with a loud bang, leaving cracks that stretched for thousands of miles. The sky collapsed and the earth sank, and countless huge creatures roared and wailed.

In the distance, a giant thousands of feet tall roared towards the sky, pulling up a mountain and throwing it into the sky...

As these vague information emerged, a faint aura of wildness and desolation emanated from the Thunder Flame Beast, as if it were a creature from ancient times.

…

In the valley, everyone gathered around a fire, roasting mutant beast meat and eating dinner.

This place is the lair of the armored beasts. After long-term hunting, there are no mutant creatures within a radius of ten kilometers. Therefore, Chen Chu and others can rest more relaxedly.

But when Luo Fei handed Chen Chu a skewer of grilled meat, coated with a layer of golden honey and sprinkled with cumin and chili powder, he did not react.

Luo Fei called out softly: "Chen Chu, Chen Chu..."

"...Ah! Oh, thank you." Chen Chu came back to his senses, looked at the barbecue in front of him, said thank you, and then took it.

The girl blinked her eyes and asked curiously, "What were you thinking about just now? Why were you so absent-minded?"

Chen Chu said thoughtfully: "I was just wondering whether there were some ancient creatures and civilizations in our world before."

"It's just that as time went by, those creatures eventually disappeared and civilization collapsed, and then they became the myths and legends that we passed down from mouth to mouth."

Xia Youhui, who was standing opposite him, bit off a piece of meat fiercely, his mouth full of oil as he spoke incoherently, "Aren't those myths and legends made up by the Taoists, Buddhists, and ancient folks?"

"Hey! Old Xia, I don't agree with what you said."

Liu Feng shook his head and said, "If those ancient people had never seen those ancient creatures or gods, how could they make up those legends?"

"I think they must have seen some similar prototypes, and then passed them down through their poor and abstract descriptions."

"Of course, there is another possibility that the mythological world was connected to our world many years ago, and the monsters recorded in the Classic of Mountains and Seas are actually creatures from the mythological world."

Li Meng nodded in agreement: "Yeah! Old Liu's latter speculation is more reliable. In fact, I have thought about this question before."

"I think there may have been some cracks connecting to the mythological world in ancient times, which were discovered by some ancient people, who then absorbed the energy of heaven and earth to practice and become stronger."

"Those legendary gods who can fly into the sky and call the wind and rain may have come from this place."

"Including those Taoist legends of blessed lands, which may be a place similar to a battlefield for strange beasts, but very small, and eventually disappeared and collapsed due to other reasons."

"As for those disappeared immortals, they may have gone to the mythological world through the cracks, and then the cracks disappeared and never came back."

Yuan Chenghuang sat on the heavy sword and said, "If this is true, then don't we humans still have power in the mythological world?"

Bai Mu shook his head and denied it: "How is it possible? If those myths and legends really existed and those gods really went to the mythological world, we should have discovered it long ago."

Xia Youhui shook his head: "That's hard to say, Lao Bai. Just because something hasn't been discovered doesn't mean it doesn't exist. And don't you think our martial arts are developing too fast?"

"In just a few decades, a complete system has been developed, and king-level powerhouses above the Ninth Heaven and even stronger ones have appeared."

"Perhaps those pioneers obtained some ancient heritage and combined it with modern information to create the Zhenwu system."

"This question is indeed possible." Li Meng nodded thoughtfully.

Xia Youhui said excitedly: "When I break through the ninth heaven and become a king-level supreme being, I will explore the vast mythological world. Maybe I can find the existence of heaven and the fairyland at the far end."

"Add me in." Li Meng also said with interest.

Liu Feng also said excitedly: "Brothers, come together, after we find the Heavenly Palace, I want to see if Chang'e is really as beautiful as the legend says."

"You guys, are you focusing on the wrong thing? If those people really exist, how strong would they be after practicing for millions of years?"

Looking at the few people who went off topic while talking, Chen Chu shook his head.

These guys are only at the third level and they are already thinking about what will happen after they become king-level warriors. Aren’t they thinking too much?

Not to mention the king level, it is even a question whether one can break through the ninth level to become a top-level powerhouse.

But what they said was not without reason. Chen Chu was thoughtful.

If those ancient people were really the earliest pioneers of cultivation as speculated, then many ancient myths and legends would match up.

While thinking, Chen Chu took a bite of the barbecue, and immediately the rich aroma of meat filled his mouth. He couldn't help but praise vaguely: "It's delicious. I didn't expect that Luo Fei, you are so good at barbecue."

"As long as it tastes good, do you want more?" The girl smiled when she was praised by Chen Chu.

"Yes." Chen Chu nodded decisively. He would certainly not refuse someone to help him grill the meat, and it was so delicious.

Li Meng on the other side shouted enviously: "Luo Fei, we want one too. You can't favor one over the other."

Xia Youhui said unhappily, "Li Meng, if you want to eat it, just grill it yourself. Luo Fei only has two hands, and the meat she grilled is not enough for Ah Chu to eat."

"Is that right, Ah Chu?" After saying that, Xia Youhui winked at Chen Chu, smiling a little obscenely, as if to say, 'How about it, are we brothers enough?'

Chen Chu nodded unceremoniously and said, "Indeed, what Luo Fei roasted is not enough for me to eat. If you guys want to eat, you guys can make it yourselves."

While a few people were playing, the burly Li Hao was sitting cross-legged beside the fire, with a small stove made of rubble in front of him.

There was a flat stone slab placed on the stove, and slices of mutant beast meat were rolling on the stone slab under the scorching heat, making a sizzling sound.

At this time, Li Hao took out some seasonings from the small bag he carried with him, and sprinkled some cumin, pepper powder, and chili powder from time to time.

Then a little sauce, and immediately the meat slices exude a rich meaty aroma.

When the meat slices on the stone slab were almost fried, Li Hao slowly took out a pair of chopsticks made of tree branches, picked up a piece of barbecue, put it into his mouth and savored it slowly.

It is hard to imagine that this guy who is as big as a giant and fights like a devil actually eats so delicately. It is really surprising.

After eating and drinking their fill, everyone divided up the night watches and found a place to sit cross-legged and practice. Suddenly the valley fell into silence, with the night breeze blowing gently.

But from time to time the roars of mutant creatures could be heard in the distance, telling everyone that this was the extremely dangerous Misty Mountains.
