Chapter 111 What kind of enemy is this?
To be honest, I wouldn’t be surprised if dinosaurs from the prehistoric era appeared here, but a pile of human bones should not appear here… Because if this pile of human bones was the one who broke through before me, then why would the prayer drum still exist? Isn’t it necessary to break it to pass through?
Moreover, this underground secret cave seems to be a place that the Snow Mountain Sect values very highly, and it is guarded by people all year round. I also feel that the defense here is like an iron bucket… no matter how you say it, no one should have sneaked in.
If he didn’t sneak in, why would the Snow Mountain Sect just let him die here? The bones have already weathered to this state, and they didn’t even take the trouble to collect his body? After all, I still believe from the bottom of my heart that the Snow Mountain Sect is the right path. Even if they don’t care about the world, simply put, if they are on the wrong path, it is impossible for them to be able to cultivate in seclusion without caring about the world.
Then there is only one possibility, that is, this person… was punished by the Snow Mountain Sect or something? And the punishment was so severe that they wouldn’t even collect his body.
Seeing human bones here is still quite stressful, because I’m afraid I’ll end up like this. While I was thinking, I saw some clearly-shaped powder on the bones, which should be the remains of clothes or something. I was confused again. How long ago was this? Clothes have decayed to this state?
I was deep in thought, chewing on a steamed bun, and completely unaware that a slight breeze had blown through the dry and quiet cave.
At that time, how could I have thought that there would be two types of wind: one is naturally the wind of nature, and the other is the appearance of a powerful spirit that affects the real world. Even if it is close to me with a subdued aura, it will cause changes in the qi field of the real world because it is “active,” and the changes will be strong, so naturally there will be wind.
At this time, I was still studying the pile of human bones. I always felt that in this dangerous underground, the strange appearance of a pile of human bones should have a clue, and knowing the enemy is always an advantage.
So, I frowned and tried to guess how he died based on the position of the human bones… But at this time, a deep roar of a tiger sounded in my soul. Before I could react, I saw a shadow suddenly leap out of the depths of my soul and then roared loudly and pounced toward my back.
At this moment, a premonition of danger like a life-and-death crisis exploded from the bottom of my heart… Without thinking, I rolled around several times on the ground, and then I stopped very awkwardly after hitting the wall of this branch cave.
This cave wall was already in the branch cave, not very deep, only a few meters away, and the dim light from a slant angle could only bring a little light here… I was almost out of breath after hitting the cold and hard cave wall, but I subconsciously dared not delay for even a moment. As soon as I recovered, I was about to stand up, but I saw that the cave wall was covered with deep and shallow marks, and there were also some messy handwriting, which was obviously deeply gouged out by human fingers!
How much hatred and strength must one have to leave such marks on the hard, cold cave wall? But there is clearly danger in this cave. How did this person have time to leave these marks before he died?
Or, is this person the real danger in this cave? The thought of this possibility made my scalp tingle… In the second I thought about it, I finally heard a more intense roar from Shatu… In addition, in the distance I heard the sound of a baby crying.
Then, I looked up and saw that Shatu was heading in a direction and crashing into something. I couldn’t see what it was. In the blink of an eye, I heard the baby’s crying sound finally become much louder, like a baby with a bad temper suddenly screaming and crying loudly.
The sound shook my brain and I subconsciously covered my ears and shook my head… What I saw was that Silly Tiger fell to the ground all of a sudden… On the side of the tiger’s body facing me, there were three shocking wounds.
Although Silly Tiger is a spirit, the more complete the spirit is, and the more it can be seen, the form of expression is no different from that of a real entity. The only difference is that there is no ‘liquid’ on the spirit body, so it does not cry tears or bleed when it is injured.
The wounds on Shatu’s body looked like they were almost bone-deep, with the flesh and skin tumbling about… It looked so cold and painful… What’s more, it felt like a small piece of Shatu’s flesh was missing, because one of the wounds was particularly severe, and it was obvious that a piece of flesh had been torn off.
Although compared to the huge body of Silly Tiger, this little bit of ‘meat’ is nothing, but in fact… I know that Silly Tiger is very powerful. Without looking at factors such as spiritual awareness and magic, just looking at soul power, Silly Tiger is definitely more powerful than me, Chen Chengyi. As a result of such a collision, Silly Tiger actually suffered such a loss.
This was only a momentary thing, because I was connected to Shahu’s soul, I felt a vague sense of the soul’s pain. Where would I dare to be negligent? I immediately rushed towards the exit of this branch cave, and in that moment, I also opened my heavenly eye.
In the moment when the heavenly eye opened, I finally rushed out of the cave… and under the heavenly eye, I finally saw the ‘enemy’ at the entrance of the cave that I had never seen before. What was it?
I almost let out a cry of surprise… before me was a monster I couldn’t describe, with strong limbs and a body covered in feathers and wings… and a head that was a normal eagle’s head, like a hawk, but also like an eagle… the most special thing was that it had a sharp horn on its head.
The whole monster was not huge, only about three meters long… Compared to the huge Silly Tiger, it looked like a little one. At the moment, it stood less than ten meters away from Silly Tiger, facing it. I also noticed that there was a piece of flesh with white fur on its claws, which was obviously what it had grabbed from Silly Tiger… During the confrontation with Silly Tiger, it suddenly threw away the piece of flesh as if to provoke, and then pecked at it.
At this time, I happened to rush out, and it looked up and saw me, a tiny little thing, and suddenly seemed to be excited. It roared, still sounding like a baby crying in the middle of the night, and then rushed towards me.
I didn’t understand what was happening, but it was so fast, and I didn’t know if it had wings… I instinctively fell to the ground, and Shatuo pounced again, crashing into the monster.
But in terms of speed, Silly Tiger was still a little bit lacking… In another collision, Silly Tiger only grazed the monster’s edge, just slightly tilting its body… It didn’t even pause, only slowing down a little in that moment, continuing to rush towards me.
Why was it rushing towards me? I was imagining that it was going to possess me? Or was it going to harm my soul? What could I possibly have that it would be interested in?
But so much had happened in just half a minute that my mind was spinning. An unknown monster that could control its breath! An inexplicable human bone! A monster that even my spiritual senses could not detect! Why did Shatu find it first?
I don’t understand why I have so many random thoughts in my head at such a tense moment… But at this moment, the strange thought in my heart that doesn’t seem like me, but is definitely mine, appeared again.
“It wants to devour my soul! At this moment, I could only see the angle of its attack and take the lead in releasing my soul power to collide with it… Don’t think about it anymore, release your soul power to collide with it!” I barely had time to think about it. I saw a huge figure that had already rushed to my side in an instant, raising its claws and reaching for my crown.
It was too vicious, attacking such a vital point directly, taking advantage of the moment when I looked up!
At this moment, my soul power also poured out wildly… I didn’t even bother to use any magic to condense my soul power into a more efficient attack method. I just used my soul power to collide with the monster in an extremely direct manner.
The collision was silent… but at the center of the collision, there was a burst of wind… After all, my spiritual power is definitely powerful, but the time and effort spent on cultivation has limited the maximum use of spiritual power.
Just like a genius, how can he fully display his genius without the accumulation of education? It is suitable for this kind of completely vulgar collision… it is like a simple IQ test.
I groaned. Even spiritual power is connected to my soul… I immediately felt the weakness of my soul. Poor me, I haven’t even had a chance to use my magic, and now I’ve inexplicably fallen into crisis!
I thought that at the cost of my weakness, the monster would at least be knocked away and suffer a little injury… but I didn’t expect to just make it pause for a moment.
What kind of enemy is this?
