From the deep pit beneath the earth, a robust bull demon, its entire body a deep crimson, slowly crawled out. The thick, coiled horns on its head seemed to proclaim its uniqueness. After emerging from the pit, the red bull spewed out two streams of eerie blue flames from its enormous nostrils, burning two bottomless black holes into the ground. Then, shaking its head, it walked towards the corpse of the Teng Snake.
Red Bull strode steadily across the poisonous lake. What was a deadly poison in Leng Rushuang's eyes seemed to have no effect on Red Bull. After crossing the lake, Red Bull used its four hooves to accelerate, and in a few moments it reached Tengshe. Then it opened its huge mouth with its fangs turned outward and bit down on the inner core that Yao Shiba had marked earlier!
On the other side, Yao Shiba took the lead, followed closely by Li Sisui and Leng Rushuang. Li Sisui finally recovered and burst into curses:
"What's going on? What are you doing? You're abandoning the demon beast's inner core? You're running away faster than a rabbit!"
"Demon beast cores? Even at a time like this, you're still thinking about demon beast cores. I don't know how a greedy fellow like you managed to win the city lord's trust. He actually thinks you're the chosen one of the demon race. It's truly pathetic!"
Without turning his head, Yao Shiba's mocking voice rang out, but Li Sisui was completely confused, not understanding what Yao Shiba was talking about:
"What the hell are you talking about? Is there something here that you, Demon Eighteen, are afraid of? This isn't like you. After all, you're a man who prides himself on being the chosen one of the demon race. How could you break down so easily and run away in such a panic?"
"You know nothing! It's precisely because I'm invincible that I know to seek advantage and avoid harm. I can only blame myself for being careless and underestimating that beast's determination. Sigh, let's run quickly. Hopefully, that thing hasn't caught up..."
"Where is it going? It has to have a destination, right? Why is it just buzzing around like a headless fly?"
"What purpose do you need? The purpose is that they're not dead!"
Yao Shiba stopped on the trunk of a giant tree, solemnly examining the path he had come from. He could only see a large number of fallen trees at the horizon, as if a huge creature was constantly approaching. Seeing this, Yao Shiba looked annoyed, glared at his hands, and flew into the air again, shooting towards the unknown place ahead!
They thought Yao Shiba was going to rest for a while, but when the two of them caught up, Yao Shiba flew away again. Moreover, this time the speed of flight was obviously faster than before. Li Sisui was completely confused by Yao Shiba's strange behavior and did not know where he was going.
"If my senses are correct, it should be the Soul Sacrifice God Network!"
The voice of the ghost immortal suddenly rang in Li Sisui's mind, causing him to abruptly stop the urge to curse. He then asked:
"A Soul-Sacrificing God-Serving Network? What the hell is that?"
"It is said that some talented monsters possess the ultimate supernatural power to summon powerful beings by sacrificing their own lives and souls. The poisonous lake beneath your feet was probably a necessary part of this supernatural power. In short, you have been targeted!"
Anyone who has just been touched by the blood of the Teng Snake will have no way to escape; it's as if they've been marked. As for what kind of monster it will summon, only heaven knows. In short, whatever it summons is generally very difficult to deal with. Be careful!
Inspired by what the ghost immortal said, Li Sisui dared not be careless. He signaled Leng Rushuang to hurry up and chase after Yao Shiba. The latter understood immediately and without hesitation, the red ribbon shot towards the giant tree in the distance, like a red steel nail, which was nailed straight into the tree trunk. Then the two of them swung like swings, constantly getting closer to Yao Shiba in front of them!
Whether it was because Yao Shiba slowed down or something unexpected happened, it didn't take long for the two to catch up with Yao Shiba, who had been fleeing in disarray. Seeing the two had followed, Yao Shiba secretly breathed a sigh of relief. Then, Li Si shouted loudly:
"What exactly is going on? How come there's a new situation before the matter of retrieving the elixir has even been settled?"
Yao Shiba turned and continued on his way, but finally spoke up to explain:
"I must have fallen into Tengshe's trap. Alas, I was too careless in the end! That beast was prepared to die from the start, deliberately making me lower my guard. Then, at the only way to get the pill, it staged a great show of turning the tables!"
The bloodstains on our bodies are likely for location tracking. Without some special means, it would be difficult to remove this scent. In the Demon Beast Forest, such a bloody stench would surely attract countless demon beasts to attack. And what's most terrifying is that the thirty thousand Teng Snakes risked their lives to summon a monster capable of sweeping through the Asura Ridge!
"Sweep through Shura Ridge? Is it really that impressive?"
"If you are fortunate enough to fight it, you will understand that I am not exaggerating. However, I advise you not to fight it. Stay as far away as possible, because that thing is almost invincible here!"
Moo! Roar!
A deafening roar completely disrupted their rhythm, especially from Yao Shiba, who was so startled by the sudden sound that he nearly fell from mid-air. Then, Yao Shiba's face turned ashen as he said:
"As expected, you damned beast, I really underestimated you. You actually summoned the Immortal Divine Ox. It seems I have no choice but to run..."
"The Immortal Divine Ox?"
"It is immune to all physical attacks. Only attacks of the mind can harm it. No other techniques or magical artifacts will work. Understand? Run!"
Good heavens, isn't this the natural nemesis of the demon race? No wonder Demon Eighteen ran so fast; it turns out he encountered a mortal enemy. Since he couldn't defeat him, all he could do was run away...
