Chapter 2178 Nauseating Beasts


    The army of beasts waiting for them at the bottom did not seem to give them a good feeing about it.


    "Should we change our location ofnding?" Qiao De and Daoist Chu both asked.


    With the path that was being charted by the Mariner''s Compass Pyxis, they would bending at the very edge of the beast swarm.


    On the outside it did not seem like the best choice to do that.


    "We mustnd there." Lady Kang said firmly. "Even if it looks dangerous, know that any other option other than this will always be more dangerous. The Guidance of Pyxis has never wronged me." She assured.


    "We''ll follow Lady Kang''s words." Lin Mu backed her up. "I think there is more to the beasts than we can see from up here. The flow of Qi down there is a bit strange." He added.


    Lin Mu could see the flow of Qi in contrast with the spatial fluctuations and saw thy there was a strange demarcation there. The edge of where they werending seemed to have a thin line of Qi separating it.


    "We can handle the beasts enough to make our retreat in case anything happens. It will be fine." Crown Prince Feng Shun stated not minding it. "We still got plenty of energy."


    "Yeah it should be fine." Ziran agreed too.


    "Very well." Qiao De said and sped up their decent.


    ~WHOOSH~


    They flew down as fast as they could, causing the cage to start glowing red from the friction. Thankfully the defenses cast by Ziran and Crown Princess Shang were more than enough and managed to keep them safe.


    Though it wouldn''t have mattered much to them in the end as they were all able to defend against this heat. The main issue was actually the slivers of Death Aura that blew over them like wind.


    The slivers would cause the most damage as they would try to corrode the vines. But the vines simply regenerated again since they were being supported by two cultivators at once.


    "Almost there, brace for impact!" Lin Mu warned just a few seconds before theynded.


    ~BOOM~


    The impact of the cage was enough to make it sink a few meters into the ground while also creating a twenty meter sized crater. And this was after Qiao De had decelerated at the very end.


    ~CRACK~CRACK~


    Thankfully the defenses cast on the cage were enough to endure the damage and left them unharmed. The vines seemingly withered into dust after a few more seconds and exposed the original cage.


    ~CREAKS~


    The cage door opened, letting everyone out.


    ~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~WHOOSH~


    The group spent no time waiting and quickly flew out before rising up in the sky. They were alert and ready to retaliate against anything that might being their way.


    Their Immortal Senses also spread to the maximum range and assessed everything within. They were a mere hundred meters or so from the Beast swarm and could see them clearly this time around.


    "What are those?" Daoist Chu wondered. "They don''t seem like the Yin Heart Puppets." He said observing them.


    The beasts were not something they had seen before and had a hybrid body shape. They had four legs that looked like they belonged to some kind of bovine creature due to their hooves.


    But their body was that of some kind of a carnivore with thick gray fur. Their tails were spiked and ended in a sharp hook. Their head was wide almost like that of a frog, but it was filled with hundreds upon hundreds of sharp teeth. Then there were the eyes… not only did they have eyes on their head, they also had eyes on their back and at the base of their tail. Their eyes seemingly had no pupils and were just in ck orbs.


    Looking into their eyes caused one to have an eerie feeling, making one''s hair stand on its ends. The sounds that they made were also not fun.


    ~Bihihihihihihihi~


    ~bihihihihihihih~


    Their cries were like a mix of a screaming child and a shrieking beetle''s cry.


    It made one want to shut their eyes and simply not hear the highly ufortable sound.


    "That just made me nauseous." Crown Princess Shang frowned.


    "Likewise." Min Ju did not like it either.


    "At least they don''t seem to be that strong." Qiao De said. "First to Third Tribtion Stage of the Immortal realm for the most part." He observed.


    Lin Mu''s mind went through all the beasts he knew about but did not find any that remotely matched the description of these beasts.


    They were far too strange and what was even more strange was their behavior. Even though Lin Mu and the group was standing a mere hundred meters from them, the beast did not approach them. They only stared at them nkly while letting some asional cries.


    The cries didn''t even seem to be directed towards them either, as they let them out merely on instinct.


    "Amitabha… These are certainly not creations of nature." Monk Hushu chimed in, narrowing his eyes. "The aura of these beasts is repugnant and I can think nothing but disgust for them." He added.


    He made it very clear that he was not a fan of the beasts, joining the camp of Crown Princess Shang and Min Ju.


    "Do you know what they are Ziran?" Qiao De asked, making Lin Mu look at the half-elf as well. "I can''t seem to figure out what they are." Lin Mu shook his head.


    "I am at a loss as well." Ziran admitted. "I''ve never seen anything like them before. At the very least I can tell they are not any type of Yin Heart Puppets and are actual beasts." He said, his words a bit of a disappointment to Lin Mu.


    "I suppose we''ll just have to figure out what they are on our own." Crown Prince Feng Shun said, his eyes locked onto the eerie beasts for any sign of danger.This content is ? N?velDrama.Org.
