Chapter 582 – Land of the Underworld
The beast also seemed to know that it was not good, roared, from the mouth sprayed out a cold wind.
Oncoming arrows were blown by this wind, not only toppled, and instantly covered with a layer of crystalline black ice, before touching the behemoth’s body, they have fallen down.
As for the heavier spears and other things, although stuck to the huge body of the beast above, but also by the wind blowing greatly reduced the lethality, just barely caused some traumatic injuries, but stimulate the beast more berserk.
Just see this beast rage, four eyes violently blood light flashes, just listen to the “bang” sound, some of the neck of the hard hair, a root upside down, seemingly horrible.
Han Li on the roof above the scene, the heart froze, have not yet understood the intention of the beast, see the big head of the beast a low, upturned hair instantly into a myriad of black mango, to the stone wall shot.
The wall crowd seems to have known that this beast has this means, although everyone’s face is nervous, but still shouted, neatly erected the hands of various types of large shield.
”Splits and snaps” sound, sudden rain from the shield.
Although the black mango deep into the shield several inches deep, but finally most of them were blocked down. But there are also some protection negligence of people, by the black awn directly through the body, immediately turned over and planted down the stone wall, do not know life and death.
The others had no time to care about these people’s lives and deaths, and under one person’s loud order, another batch of spears and arrows were shot out in large swathes, but again, most of them were blown off by the beast’s cloudy wind. However, this beast seems to be only the neck of the piece of hard hair, can be shot out, the back, although the zapped wailing, but also just desperately struggling to get up, and no longer have any counter-attack means. But the purple fog transformed tentacles, but firmly trapped its feet, not relax for a moment.
After repeating the long-range attack five or six times in a row, the wind in the beast’s mouth finally became smaller rapidly, and no longer had the power of the beginning.
At this time, the bows and arrows and spears on the stone wall instead suddenly became more frequent, inserting the beast’s body densely, like a hedgehog.
In this case, the beast but seems to be injured not much, still the spirit of the extreme roar non-stop, the hands of the huge black stick is waving non-stop, will be near the ground smashed potholes.
Han Li saw this, could not help but feel slightly alarmed by this beast’s thick skin and vigor.
People in the village, seems to deal with this beast has long had its own way, immediately, a team of athletic, especially stout men, quickly ran up the stone wall. They didn’t bring any weapons except for several huge spears three or four feet long clamped under their ribs.
As soon as these men got on the wall, they immediately raised their spears one after another, and after a little bit of gesticulation, they aimed at the huge body of that huge beast and threw it out fiercely.
”Whoosh” “Whoosh” the sound of breaking air shot, let the back of Han Li heard, face slightly changed.
These people were not weak in internal strength, these huge spears were thrown out as easily as grass, and their strength was as fierce as a crossbow’s hard bow.
All of a sudden, a bowl-sized blood flower bloomed in the whole body of the beast, and all of the giant spears were inserted into the body of the beast, and it was nailed to the ground, and the original ferocious flames disappeared at once.
Above the stone wall, cheers rose, everyone showed a relieved look. Wrapped in the beast’s feet on the purple fog, also at this time finally collapsed disappeared.
Some people excitedly hurriedly put down the wooden door, holding swords and knives ready to go out to kill the beast, while others began to help injured companions.
But did not wait for the wooden door completely put down, the original low hanging head of the beast suddenly back to the light like a roar in the sky, and then one arm swung hard, more than ten zhang in the hand of the huge stick, but also threw out violently at once.
Huge stick far up in the sky, straight to the center of the village flying down, the sound is amazing.
Below are some see the behemoth is about to die, and happy to rush out of the stream of women and children, see seven or eight villagers, is about to be smashed into a meat paste, other people’s faces changed dramatically alarmed out.
At this time, a silhouette of a flash, straight to the fall of the giant wood shot to, after a low roar, this person two hands swing, ruthlessly hit in the middle part of the giant stick.
A loud sound came, the black wood flew out diagonally at once, and landed on an unoccupied open space.
That person lightly landed on the ground, moving with a dashing ease. It was that somewhat gloomy and stern white-faced middle-aged man.
The rescued villagers, both male and female, breathed a huge sigh of relief, and immediately surrounded this person with grateful faces, saying thank you repeatedly under their breath. However, this person only waved his hand with a pale expression and returned to his original position.
However, a trace of a strange color flashed across Han Li’s face as this man inadvertently glanced coldly toward him after saving the others. Although he didn’t know what his intentions were, it was obvious that he looked at him in an unfavorable manner.
Han Li frowned, still grasping at what was fishy about it, when the wooden door had already been lowered, and dozens of young and strong men rushed out of the village, striking down the giant beast that had already been seriously injured in its place.
But these men did not stop there, someone used a long white knife, split open the beast’s head, and then after a burst of blood-soaked groping, he suddenly raised one hand, and a thumb-sized green crystal appeared in his hand. This person surprised to cry out, nearby bystanders after a commotion, the same giddy up.
Han Li saw this scene, blinked his eyes, suddenly felt that the green crystal stone, seems somewhat familiar, as if he had seen there. He suspiciously lowered his head to think about it, and after a flash of light in his mind, he immediately remembered.
At the time in the Void Sky Hall inner hall, he got all the puppet remains, seems to have such a piece of green crystal stone almost, is it really the same thing. Han Li muttered somewhat!
But after Han Li looked at it for a while longer, he leapt down to the stone house without saying a word.
The fat old man and a few other elders had re-entered the hall, and he still had a stomach full of questions that he wanted to ask clearly.
Mei Ning saw Han Li return to the hall and also walked in with her head down. After seeing the battle with the giant beast just now, she seemed to know the danger of this place, and a hint of sadness appeared on her face.
When Han Li walked in, the old man and several other elders, all sat back in their original seats.
Seeing Han Li walk in, the old man smiled and was about to open his mouth to say something when a tall, burly man walked in quickly, his hand holding the green crystal.
”Grand Elder! This is the Netherworld Beast Crystal within the Predator Cunning’s head. Please ask a few elders to check it out for a moment.” The strong man placed the crystal on the stone table in front of the elder and said respectfully.
”It’s hard work for you guys again this time. Taking advantage of the Jedi Spirit Qi eruption, Xin Shi and the others got back some fish and shrimp. In a moment, everyone will receive some more, and it will be considered a consolation.” The elder said happily when he saw the crystal stone.
”Many thanks to the several elders!” The strong man immediately revealed a look of surprise, and with this command, he contentedly exited the hall.
Han Li stayed to the side and watched coldly.
”The monstrous beast that the two of you just saw is the Yin Beast Predator Cunning that is unique to this place, it surprised the two of you quite a bit, didn’t it! This Yin Underworld Land, although only a hundred miles in size, survives demonic beasts, humans, and all sorts of Yin Underworld Beasts.” The old man carefully stowed the green crystal within his arms before turning his head to Han Li and saying with a straight face.
”There are still demonic beasts here?” Han Li was a little surprised.
”Of course, whenever space tears here, it doesn’t matter what kind of cultivator or demonic beast, they can all be treated equally and won’t be spared.” The old man revealed a bitter smile, but after a pause, he continued to speak.
”Demonic beasts are here, and they are likewise unable to utilize their demonic techniques. However, their thousand-hammered demonic bodies are really powerful, and are not something that we humans or the Underworld Beasts can mess with. The good thing is that they generally only guard a few fixed places where good Yin Beasts feed on them and never go out easily, so they are not a big threat to us humans. However, these Yin beasts are different, they are born from the Yin and Underworld Qi here, and they naturally like to devour human flesh and blood. Almost every once in a while, there will be a powerful Yin Underworld Beast looking for the human village. Although most of them are repelled by the people in the village, but occasionally there have been smaller villages that have been broken up and the people in the village have been devoured. On the contrary, like we killed such a Predator today, but not long, from the place of Yin Qi condensation will be born again the same one to. These Yin Underworld Beasts simply can’t be killed enough.”
”Listening to what Your Excellency means, the human village here isn’t just the one here, but there are several others?” Han Li remained silent for a moment and slowly asked.
”Of course there are, although there aren’t too many of them either, there are around seven or eight of them, spread throughout the Land of the Underworld. Because the food here is very scarce, other than a limited number of pieces of land that can be planted with some edible coarse grains, the rest of the ground doesn’t have an inch of grass at all due to the Yin Qi being too heavy. And most of the beasts of the netherworld here contain poison in their bodies, although those demonic beasts don’t care about their intestines, but we humans can stick to them and die! Except for a few special varieties, the rest of the Underworld Beasts, even if we kill them, we won’t be able to eat them. These harsh conditions added together, this determines that the number of humans surviving is fixed. Every single person, in order to survive here, must be a useful person, or else they can only be driven out of the village and left to fend for themselves!” The old man’s tone turned a bit icy as he spoke the words that followed.
