Chapter 682: The Beginning of Evil: Xiao Bei Explores the Mysterious World
The biting gale brought with it a bone-chilling chill as Xiao Bei and his group stepped into a most evil place.
The strong smell of blood mixed with the smell of decay hit me in the face like a substance, making me sick.
The dark red sky was low, with no sunlight visible. Only strange green phosphorescent lights were floating in the distance, reflecting the twisted and grotesque dead trees on the ground, like evil spirits with bared fangs and claws.
Under my feet, the black land is barren of grass, and it makes a teeth-grinding crunching sound when I step on it, as if I am stepping on piles of bones.
Xiao Bei took a deep breath, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and looked around vigilantly.
Everything here was weird and dangerous, making him nervous.
Beili clutched the corner of his clothes tightly, her face slightly pale and her fingertips cold.
Even though she was usually lively and active, she couldn't help but tremble with fear at the eerie and terrifying scene.
"Everyone be careful!" Xiao Bei reminded in a low voice, holding the long sword tightly in his hand. The sword body made a low buzzing sound, as if responding to the master's fighting spirit.
Lingfeng also drew his sword and scanned the surroundings with sharp eyes, ready to deal with any sudden danger at any time.
Suddenly, a deafening roar shattered the silence, and the earth began to tremble.
A huge black shadow was approaching rapidly from a distance, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.
"Roar--"
Shadow Demon, the guardian beast of the evil land, finally appeared.
It resembles a giant wolf, covered with black scales and emitting a dark light.
The scarlet eyes were like two burning flames, staring at Xiao Bei and others, with fangs exposed in his mouth, saliva dripping, corroding the ground and making a sizzling sound.
Xiao Bei's heart sank. He originally wanted to pass through peacefully, but Yingsha obviously had no such intention.
He felt the violent murderous intent emanating from Yingsha and knew that a fierce battle was inevitable.
"Prepare for battle!" Xiao Bei shouted softly, his true energy surging in his body. The long sword in his hand emitted a dazzling light, illuminating a small area around him.
Ling Feng also took a fighting stance, with the tip of his sword pointing directly at Ying Sha.
A depressing atmosphere permeated the air, like a taut string that could break at any time.
Shadow Demon roared to the sky, and suddenly leaped up with his huge body, rushing towards Xiao Bei and the others...
"Bei, I'm scared..." Bei Li's voice trembled as she held Xiao Bei's arm tightly.
Xiao Bei held Bei Li's hand with his backhand and said firmly, "Don't be afraid, I'm here."
Yingsha was as fast as lightning, and his huge claws slammed towards Xiao Bei with a whistling sound that tore through the air.
Xiao Bei quickly raised his sword to block, but there was a loud "clang" sound and a powerful force came, which made his palm numb and he almost couldn't hold the sword in his hand.
Lingfeng also launched an attack from the side, the sword flashing, going straight for Yingsha's vital points.
However, Yingsha's scales were extremely hard, and Lingfeng's attack was like a drop in the ocean, causing no substantial damage at all.
After several rounds, Xiao Bei and Ling Feng were already out of breath, with many scars on their bodies.
The power of Shadow Demon was too strong, they were completely at a disadvantage and were defeated step by step.
"Ah!" A scream of pain was heard. Beili was hit by Yingsha's tail. Her petite body flew out like a kite with a broken string and fell heavily to the ground.
The bright red blood stained her clothes. She curled up in pain, her face as pale as paper.
"Beili!" Xiao Bei was extremely anxious. He rushed towards Beili regardless of everything and helped her up.
"How are you?"
Beili endured the pain, shook his head, and said weakly: "I'm fine..."
Bei Li's painful expression made Xiao Bei feel heartbroken, and his heart was filled with guilt and self-blame.
If it weren't for him, Beili wouldn't have come to this dangerous place, let alone been injured.
The shadow demon approached again, and its huge body cast a shadow, covering Xiao Bei and others.
The threat of death came like a tide, suppressing them to the point that they could hardly breathe.
At this critical moment, Xiao Bei made a move that no one expected.
He did not continue to attack, but put away the long sword in his hand and said to Yingsha in a deep voice: "We have no intention of offending you. We just want to borrow your passage. Please give us a favor."
Xiao Bei's words were like a thunder, exploding in the silent air.
Yingsha's movements stopped, and his scarlet eyes stared at Xiao Bei in confusion, as if thinking about his words.
The air around seemed to be frozen, and a strange atmosphere filled the air.
Lingfeng and Beili were also surprised by Xiao Bei's actions. They didn't understand why Xiao Bei gave up resistance.
A puff of hot air blew out of Shadow Demon's huge nostrils, and he let out a low roar.
It slowly lowered its head, and its scarlet eyes stared at Xiao Bei, as if it wanted to see through him.
Xiao Bei looked at Yingsha fearlessly.
"Human..." Shadow's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, "How dare you..."
"Human..." Yingsha's voice was low and hoarse, as if it came from the depths of hell, "You actually dared... to challenge my authority!" Before he finished speaking, Yingsha's huge body rioted again, and an attack more ferocious than before came like a storm.
The fishy saliva splattered on Xiao Bei's face, with a disgusting corrosiveness.
Xiao Bei thought to himself that something was wrong and quickly protected Bei Li behind him. He condensed a powerful spiritual power barrier in his hands, barely blocking Yingsha's claws.
"Boom!" With a loud noise, the spiritual barrier vibrated violently. Xiao Bei felt a huge force coming at him, and his internal organs seemed to shift, and a fishy and sweet taste surged into his throat.
But he gritted his teeth and persisted, not daring to let his guard down at all.
He knew that once the barrier was broken, both he and Beili would face catastrophe.
Seeing this, Lingfeng joined the battle without hesitation.
He was agile and moved around Shadow Demon like a ghost. The long sword in his hand turned into cold light and continuously attacked Shadow Demon's weak points.
However, Shadow Demon's scales provided amazing defense, and although Spirit Wind's attacks were sharp, they could hardly cause any substantial damage.
The battle became more and more intense, and the air around them seemed to be torn apart.
The huge roar, the harsh friction sound, and the angry roar of the Shadow Demon intertwined together to form a symphony of death.
The black earth was turned into a mess, the twisted dead trees were broken in half, and the flying gravel cut through the air like sharp blades.
The immortals who were watching the battle from afar were terrified. They had never seen such a horrific battle. Their faces were pale and their palms were sweating.
"Can Lord Xiao Bei and the others win?" someone asked in a low voice, their tone full of worry.
"I don't know..." Another person shook his head, his eyes filled with fear, "The Shadow Demon is too powerful..."
Beili hid behind Xiao Bei, looking at Xiao Bei's resolute back, his eyes full of admiration and worry.
She knew that Xiao Bei was fighting so hard to protect her.
Xiao Bei felt Bei Li's gaze, and a warm feeling surged in his heart.
He gripped the sword tightly in his hand, his eyes becoming more determined.
For Beili, for their future, he must not fall!
Lingfeng also felt the friendship between Xiao Bei and Bei Li, and his heart was filled with admiration and emotion.
He attacked Yingsha even harder, hoping to share some of the pressure with Xiao Bei.
Xiao Bei's eyes quickly swept over Yingsha's body. Suddenly, he noticed that there was a scale on Yingsha's abdomen that was slightly lighter in color, and seemed to have weaker defense.
"Lingfeng, attack its abdomen!" Xiao Bei shouted.
Ling Feng understood what he meant, and in a flash, he was right under Ying Sha's abdomen. With a sharp sword aura in his hand, he fiercely stabbed at the lighter scale...
“Roar——” Yingsha let out a painful roar, and his huge body began to tremble violently.
Xiao Bei's eyes were like torches, and he said in a deep voice: "Now!"
Lingfeng's long sword accurately pierced the weak point of Yingsha's abdomen, and the sword energy surged in like a mad dragon, wreaking havoc in Yingsha's body.
Yingsha let out a shrill scream, and his huge body fell to the ground with a bang. After struggling for a few times, he turned into a wisp of black smoke and disappeared.
Xiao Bei put away his sword and breathed a sigh of relief. The previous battle had almost exhausted all his energy.
He walked over to Beili and asked with concern, "Are you okay?"
Bei Li shook his head, his eyes flashing with admiration: "I'm fine, Xiao Bei, you're amazing!"
Ling Feng also came over and praised sincerely: "Xiao Bei, your observation and judgment are really admirable!"
Xiao Bei smiled faintly and said, "Let's go and go deeper."
After a fierce battle, Xiao Bei's prestige in the hearts of his partners increased again.
They were more convinced of Xiao Bei's leadership and more determined to follow him.
They continued to go deeper into the evil land, and the surrounding scenery became more bizarre.
The originally dark red sky gradually turned into deep purple, and the dark green phosphorous fire turned into dark blue ghost fire, floating in the air, making a creepy whimpering sound.
The black soil under my feet became softer, like a swamp, and I would fall into it if I was not careful.
The air was filled with a stronger smell of blood and decay, which was nauseating.
Suddenly, Xiao Bei stopped.
In front of him, a tall stone gate appeared.
The stone gate was pitch black and engraved with strange runes, exuding an ancient and mysterious aura.
"What is this?" Lingfeng asked curiously.
Xiao Bei walked to the stone gate, carefully looked at the runes on it, and frowned.
He had never seen these runes before, but they gave him a familiar feeling, as if he had seen them somewhere.
He stretched out his hand and gently touched the runes on the stone door.
A strange energy instantly surged into his body, making him feel dizzy.
"Xiao Bei, be careful!" Bei Li exclaimed.
Xiao Bei steadied his body, took a deep breath, placed his hand on the stone door again, and slowly injected true energy.
The runes on the stone gate began to emit a faint glow, as if coming alive and flowing slowly.
"Kakaka..."
The stone door made a dull sound and slowly opened to both sides...
Xiao Bei stood in front of the mysterious stone door, carefully looking at the strange runes engraved on it.
He had a premonition that behind this stone door, there was a huge secret hidden...
