The Crimson Flame Secret Realm, located deep underground, is the lair of the fire serpent and occupies a considerable underground space.
Along the way, Wang Hao could see white skeletons, as well as remnants of soldiers stuck in the white skeletons, including human bones and the bones of ferocious beasts.
After chasing for about ten miles, Wang Hao spotted Lang Xin.
Lang Xin descended a stone staircase and proceeded cautiously. Beside him was a surging river of lava.
Just as Wang Hao was about to follow, suddenly, the sound of a hurricane rang out.
"call!"
A wave of crimson heat blew from the depths of the secret realm, with a very strong wind.
Wang Hao quickly plunged the Purple Cloud Sword into the ground to stabilize his body and reduce the force of the heat wave. Fortunately, his physical body was strong, otherwise he would have been blown away long ago.
However, a finger-width crack suddenly appeared on a stone wall not far from Wang Hao.
"Slap! Slap!"
The gap kept getting bigger, eventually becoming more than a meter wide.
"Aww!"
A deafening roar of a beast came from the crack in the rock.
A tentacle, over ten meters long and covered in black armor, flew out from the crevice, tightly wrapped around Wang Hao's body, and dragged him into the crevice.
At this moment, Wang Hao's arms were bound, and he could only use his five fingers to grip the hilt of the sword and thrust the Zixiao Sword upwards.
"Bang!"
The powerful and sharp Purple Cloud Sword struck the black tentacle's carapace, emitting sparks, but failed to pierce it.
The tentacle exerted even greater force, dragging Wang Hao to the edge of the crevice. He used one foot to brace himself against the rock wall.
"What kind of ferocious beast is this? With just one tentacle, it possesses such immense power. If it drags us into a crevice in the rocks, wouldn't we be doomed?"
Just then, a series of footsteps approached. Wang Hao turned around and looked behind him, only to find that Lang Xin was walking towards them.
Lang Xin stared at Wang Hao, who was bound by black tentacles and unable to move, a sinister smile appearing on his face. He said, "You chose the path to hell when there was one to heaven. Wang Hao, die!"
Lang Xin threw another flying knife, aiming for Wang Hao's neck.
Wang Hao's expression changed slightly. Relying on his powerful physique, he forcibly shifted his position slightly. The cyan throwing knife flew past Wang Hao's cheek and struck the black tentacle.
With a hiss, the cyan throwing knife pierced three inches into the black tentacle and became embedded in it.
The reason why Wang Hao's Purple Cloud Sword couldn't pierce the tentacle's carapace was because his arms were bound, and he could only use the strength of his five fingers. Therefore, his strength was insufficient, and his impact was not strong enough to pierce the tentacle's carapace.
However, the cyan throwing knife was not only powerful but also extremely fast, which is why it was able to injure the tentacles.
At that moment, the monster in the crevice, feeling pain, let out an even louder roar, causing the thick stone wall to shake and the crack to widen.
"Whoosh!"
A second tentacle flew out from the crack in the rock and lashed out at Langxin, sending him flying with tremendous force.
Fortunately, he blocked the tentacles with his arms. He was wearing mid-level magic weapon-grade armor on his arms, which blocked most of the force. Otherwise, that attack would have seriously injured him.
"What kind of monster is it?" Lang Xin stared in shock at his bleeding arms and the ever-widening stone wall.
His current strength is several times greater than that of a mid-stage Earth Realm expert, yet he was sent flying by a single tentacle, demonstrating the immense power of the monster that grew in the stone wall.
Lang Xin hesitated only slightly before a third tentacle flew out from the crevice, wrapped around his body, and dragged him toward the crevice.
Lang Xin channeled his true energy into the iron armor protecting his arms, activating the fire-elemental array patterns within it.
Gu Wan His arms burst into flames, and the surface of his armored gauntlets emitted streaks of crimson light, causing the tentacles to loosen their grip slightly.
"Smack!"
The second tentacle lashed out, striking Langxin on the head, leaving his face covered in blood, his cheekbones collapsed, blood flowing continuously from his mouth, and teeth spitting out one by one.
The second tentacle lashed out, smashing Langxin's head open and leaving it a bloody mess.
The struggling Wave Heart suddenly stopped moving, and even the light on the Iron Armor gradually disappeared, becoming dim and lifeless.
When Wang Hao saw Lang Xin's miserable state, he gasped. If he didn't find a way to escape, his own fate would definitely be worse than Lang Xin's.
Two tentacles dragged Langxin's corpse into the crevice.
Then, from the crack in the rock, came the sound of chewing. Just a moment ago, a martial arts master at the Earth Realm had become food for a monster.
Wang Hao's forehead was covered in cold sweat. He immediately summoned the Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo from his storage ring, and a dazzling sword light flashed.
"Sword One".
The monster in the crevice felt pain and loosened its tentacles, allowing Wang Hao to escape.
"roar!"
The monster let out a roar and extended three tentacles, attacking Wang Hao.
Having already been bound by tentacles once, Wang Hao was naturally even more cautious. Just as the three tentacles extended, he changed his position four times in a row, transforming into four phantoms that weaved through the gaps between the tentacles and dodged them.
"Break it off!"
Wang Hao leaped into the air, soaring into the sky. The Yin-Yang Profound Iron Sword Embryo in his hand erupted with a dazzling sword light. With a wave of his hands, he slashed down with the sword.
"Pfft!"
A two-meter-long black tentacle was cut off by Zhang Ruochen and fell to the ground.
Enraged by Wang Hao, the monster retracted its three tentacles into the crevice and let out a deafening howl.
"Boom!"
From the cracks in the stone, a crashing sound emanated, smashing fine cracks into the stone wall, like a spider web, threatening to shatter at any moment.
"No, this stone wall can't withstand the monster's impact, we have to get out of here quickly." Wang Hao had just turned around to escape when he suddenly saw a torn animal hide map on the ground.
The tattered map fell from Lang Xin's body. Wang Hao picked it up and immediately rushed down the stone steps, fleeing into the distance along the lava river.
"Boom!"
The more than 80-meter-high stone wall collapsed, making a sound like a mountain collapsing and the earth splitting. A huge black monster rushed out of the stone wall and chased after Wang Hao, who was fleeing.
The black monster was over thirty meters tall, covered in thick armor, and had eight tentacles over fifty meters long. It crawled rapidly on the ground at an astonishing speed.
"They should be ferocious beasts born from underground, at least mid-level third-tier ferocious beasts, or even high-level third-tier ferocious beasts."
According to Wang Hao's assessment, the black monster's combat power was at least at the late Earth Realm stage, or even stronger.
"Wings of the Wind".
Wang Hao infused his spiritual energy into the Wings of Wind. Originally, the two iron wings, which were only the size of a palm, transformed into thin metal threads under the influence of the spiritual energy. These threads flowed down Wang Hao's arm and converged on his back, forming two wings of light.
With his spiritual energy circulating, Wang Hao shot out like an arrow, traveling at a speed of two hundred meters per second.
The black monster was just as fast as Wang Hao, chasing closely behind, roaring and spewing green poisonous mist from its mouth.
