Chapter 1326: Dodge the Bullet
“Ei? What’s going on? What’s that noise?”
“What’s happening? Why is the earth shaking?”
“Something big is coming out!”
Not only Duan Juan, Lin Qiao, and all her people, but the squads that Xie Longyun sent to different directions earlier had also sensed that fierce vibe and the rumbling noise.
Lin Qiao and her pets soon showed up beside Duan Juan and the rest of the team. She stayed invisible while giving Duan Juan and the others her order, “Hide! Something is coming out. Don’t expose yourself in front of it! Try to avoid it when you have eyes on it.”
Based on the noise that creature caused, Lin Qiao figured it was still more than ten miles away from her. She assumed the creature was at the same level as Strong, but was much stronger than it. She believed that she would be able to protect herself from it, but her team and pets might not be able to do the same.
The creature might get agitated on seeing them and eat them all like snacks.
“Yes, ma’am!” Everyone responded to Lin Qiao in one voice, even though they didn’t see her when her voice was heard. Of course, Even before she pointed it out, they had already faintly sensed the threat coming from a distance away.
“Follow my direction! Nine o’clock, straight ahead, go!” The invisible Lin Qiao gave them instruction.
That creature was coming straight at her, and she intended to avoid it and take a detour. The place she guided her team toward was where she picked the black fruits from earlier. She assumed that the mysterious creature wouldn’t want to approach that area.
The team received her order and swiftly followed her direction. Lin Qiao quietly followed behind them, paying attention to all the sounds coming from the surrounding area and the noises created by that mysterious creature behind her.
As the rumbling sound came wave after wave, growing louder and louder, the earth quaked more and more intensely.
While leaping forward, Lin Qiao landed her feet on some safe plants from time to time as she turned her eyes from side to side. Right now, those eyes of hers had turned entirely black.
As the mysterious creature got closer and closer to her, the sense of crisis that she was having grew stronger slowly and obviously. It told her that she could definitely not fight that creature face-to-face.
It was an underground creature about to enter level-nine, definitely much stronger than Strong. Thankfully, it didn’t seem to hide at all, but charged aggressively with its vibe fully released. It was probably not so smart.
Boom! Boom! Boom! A black, fluffy, enormous creature was running like a gust of wind, at least thirty meters long and ten meters tall. Its four feet were especially strong, which allowed it to flatten all kinds of underground plants on its way and storm straight ahead.
It had a hideous head; its body was covered in black hair, but not its head. Instead, what covered its head was scales. It had beard on its chin, and shiny, sharp teeth in its widely opened mouth. A purple-red tongue came out of that mouth, swinging from side to side and splashing the saliva everywhere. A sizzling noise could be heard as the creature’s saliva penetrated the roots of the plants and corroded the soil.
The creature had small eyes and a huge mouth. It brandished its claws and teeth as it rushed at Lin Qiao like a thunderstorm, causing deafening noises. It didn’t even try to avoid the energy swirls but bumped straight into them.
Massive waves of energy burst when the energy swirls were dismissed by the creature but didn’t affect it at all. The noises it caused scared some relatively weak creatures in the area thirty miles back into their own nests, making them curl up and shake.
But, outside that area, a few other enormous creatures located in different directions had their attention attracted slightly.
They had all been paying close attention to their old enemies. However, as that creature wasn’t going to their territories, they didn’t take its movement seriously and only curiously observed it, wondering why it went crazy again.
Lin Qiao and her people quickly left the area targeted by the mysterious creature. As the creature didn’t seem to turn to her, she sighed with relief.
She had no idea what that creature was, but she could tell it wasn’t easy to deal with. She had herself prepared for all the possible dangers in the underground realm, so she soon calmed down.
Her team had crossed the black fruit woods and was heading in another direction now.
Lin Qiao didn’t think that mysterious creature was able to cast tens of thousands of underground creatures from different kinds out of the underground realm all by itself. Earlier, she hopped onto a high spot and gave a look around, finding the underground space to be boundless.
She did not know exactly how large it was, but it wasn’t small for sure.
“What on earth was that?” As Lin Qiao ordered her people to slow down, Duan Juan asked. She knew that Lin Qiao was able to hear her, so she didn’t turn to her while talking.
“I don’t know, but it’s something stronger than Strong. I don’t know if I can kill it, but I can protect myself from it,” Lin Qiao’s voice was heard.
“No way! Not even you can guarantee to win?” Duan Juan looked around with surprise and said.
“You’ve sensed its vibe. It’s nothing so easy to deal with. Besides, all underground creatures are immune to superpowers. I’m afraid my claws can’t even cut into its skin,” Lin Qiao made a guess.
That was one common feature of the underground creatures, and it made Lin Qiao feel a little frustrated. To hurt those creatures with her dark fire, she had to throw the fire into their mouths, because it wouldn’t deliver a great effect by simply burning on their skin.
Wu Chengyue might be able to cause those underground creatures some actual harm with his thunder strikes if he were down there.
After hearing what she said, Duan Juan sighed in response, “You’re right. We have no choice but to hide from it. Hopefully, there won’t be another one.”
Lin Qiao told the others to stop moving as she sensed that there was already a safe distance from the creature. After that, she showed her face with her brows furrowed, turning to the area behind from where the creature’s vibe could still be detected faintly.
They had merely reached the edge of the underground realm, but they already ran into a peak-graded level-eight underground creature. What would happen when they went further down?
Lin Qiao hopped onto the tallest plant nearby and looked around. She first glanced at the cave entrance where she entered the area from, and then she turned to the other side of the space. At first glance, she saw countless energy swirls connecting the air and the ground.
