roar--
The high-pitched roar of the beast sounded again, with bloodthirstiness and excitement in the voice. The Sky-Devouring Demon Dog, which had been suppressed for many years, seemed to be even more violent after devouring the flesh and blood.
I saw black air continuously emerging from the abyss and entwining around everyone.
Everyone panicked and scattered, but they couldn't run far. They could only run wildly across the light curtain of the formation. Those who ran slowly were swept away by the black air and fell into the bottomless abyss.
“Crack! Crack!”
"ah--"
The horrible chewing sounds and shrill screams were heard constantly. No one saw any blood, but at this moment, the abyss was a purgatory of despair. Everyone was terrified and just wanted to escape, but there was no way to escape.
Panic spread, people were running around, and the scene was in chaos.
Lin Tian stood still, and within ten feet of where he stood, he was isolated from everything, and the black air could not get close.
Yang Shan and others were safe and sound under Lin Tian's protection, but when they saw the scene before them, where figures kept falling into the abyss, they were all frightened into silence.
In addition to Lin Tian and others, Dongfang Xiao and other Tongtian Realm masters also have the ability to protect themselves. They each protect their own people, staring into the abyss, ready for battle.
"A peak-level tenth-order ferocious beast, equivalent to the tenth level of the Tongtian realm, all of us together are no match for it!"
"It's over now!"
"Run, or you'll die!"
"Run? The formation blocks all directions, where can we run to?"
"What should we do then? Is it just waiting to die?"
"I don't want to be eaten!"
"Think of a solution quickly."
…
Everyone was at a loss, running around like headless flies. Some wanted to get close to those Tongtian Realm masters to seek shelter, but were blocked by an invisible barrier.
It is obvious that those in the Tongtian realm only want to protect their own people.
Seeing death approaching step by step, several people in the Tongtian realm each minded their own business and remained indifferent. Finally, someone got angry.
"Dongfang Xiao, today's incident was initiated by the Dongfang family. Now that there's a problem, you're not doing anything to solve it. What a famous, aristocratic, thousand-year-old family! Pah! It's more like a garbage family!"
A warrior cursed loudly. He was almost swept away by the black air. He was so angry that he didn't care about anything else.
"Anyone who blasphemes the Dongfang family—die!"
Dongfang Xiao waved his hand, and the force penetrated the void.
Bang!
Before the warrior could react, he exploded into a ball of blood mist and ended up being torn to pieces.
Everyone was startled, frightened by Dongfang Xiao's tyranny, and no one dared to say anything.
But the black gas gushing out of the abyss was endless, and every once in a while someone would be sucked into the abyss, and the screams were heart-wrenching and terrifying.
Dongfang Xiao glanced at the entire room, his eyes blazing as he spoke, "That Sky-Devouring Demon Dog has been suppressed for too long and desperately needs flesh and blood to replenish its energy. Once it's full, it'll be fine. You all hold on a little longer."
When everyone heard this, they were so angry that they almost vomited three liters of blood.
What do you mean by "wait until it's full and everything will be fine"? "Hold on a little longer"? If you hold on any longer, they'll all die.
This is simply outrageous!
Everyone was shocked and angry, but they dared not say anything. They could only lower their heads and run wildly, hoping to outrun the others.
Lin Tiandao said, "Dongfang Xiao, this mineral auction isn't some grand conspiracy? Find someone to feed the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog, and then your Dongfang family will secretly mine it?"
Several other Tongtian Realm cultivators also looked at Dongfang Xiao warily, with suspicion on their faces.
Dongfang Xiao said calmly, "How is that possible? The Dongfang family is a prestigious and honorable family, and they have always acted with integrity. This incident is entirely due to you. If it weren't for your reckless behavior, how could the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog have been awakened? Therefore, they all died because of you. You are the culprit."
Dongfang Xiao's intention to provoke was obvious, but the situation seemed to be true. Everyone looked at Lin Tian with hostility.
Lin Tiandao said, "What you said is really stupid. If taking a spirit stone can awaken the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog, then if everyone really competes for the mineral vein and mines it, won't everyone be doomed? It's clearly your Dongfang family who harbors evil intentions, and you're trying to pass the blame on to me."
Everyone thought about it and agreed that this was true.
Just digging a piece of spiritual stone and the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog awakened. What will happen when the real mining begins? I'm afraid everyone will be swallowed up.
The Dongfang family is too insidious. They are simply using all the major forces as cannon fodder.
Everyone felt like they were being fooled and glared at Dongfang Xiao.
"Dongfang Xiao, what's your explanation?"
Several Tongtian Realm cultivators had gloomy expressions on their faces, staring at Dongfang Xiao intently, wanting an explanation.
Dongfang Xiao said seriously, "I just said that the Dongfang family is upright and honorable. I can't help it if you don't believe me. Everyone, now is not the time to dwell on this. We should solve the current problem. The Devouring Heaven Demon Dog has an astonishing appetite. The average warrior's physical energy is limited and it is difficult to feed it. Only a Tongtian Realm master can sacrifice himself to resolve this predicament."
The whole audience was silent.
Does Dongfang Xiao mean to let the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog eat a person in the Tongtian Realm?
What a joke!
Several Tongtian Realm cultivators immediately became alert.
Dongfang Xiao continued, "I know something about the Sky-Devouring Demon Dog. This beast loves to devour powerful creatures. The energy contained in the body of a Transcendent Realm cultivator is enough for it to consume for a while. We are trapped in the formation and cannot escape. If we delay any longer, we will all die. Now, sacrificing a Transcendent Realm cultivator can save the lives of hundreds of people. Isn't this a good deal?"
Several Tongtian Realm cultivators looked at each other in bewilderment.
Whether it's worthwhile or not depends on who is being sacrificed. If it's sacrificing others, then of course it's worthwhile. But if it's sacrificing yourself, then it's not worthwhile at all.
