Chapter 331 Netherworld Mountains
Chapter 331 Netherworld Mountains
Sure enough, upon hearing Qin Xiaochuan's words, Kaiming immediately became as excited as if he had been injected with chicken blood, saying, "Don't worry, leave the task of attracting monsters to me. Let them see how powerful I am." As he spoke, he sped up and quickly left the monsters behind, causing them to unconsciously gather together in order to chase him.
Guo Shiyi was also extremely surprised by the change in Kaiming's attitude, and whispered in Qin Xiaochuan's ear, "When did you start having Kaiming completely under your control?"
"Hehe, that's easy, I'll teach you later." Qin Xiaochuan said, while keeping an eye on the positions of the demonic beasts. Once Kaiming had created enough distance between them, he immediately ordered, "Okay, Kaiming, turn around!"
Upon hearing this, Kaiming immediately performed a high-speed aerial drift, like a sports car speeding through the air, and then quickly adjusted his direction to charge towards the pursuing monsters.
Qin Xiaochuan focused his mind and gathered a powerful spiritual energy in his chest.
"Flame Dragon Soars to the Sky!" A giant, bluish-white flame dragon appeared out of thin air in front of him, roaring as it charged toward the demonic beasts.
The roar of the dragon almost filled the heavens and earth. Wherever the fire dragon went, all the demonic beasts were ignited by the Samadhi True Fire. The raging flames burned them and made a sizzling sound. The cries of the demonic beasts were endless, which frightened the smaller demonic beasts into fleeing in panic. Just as Kaiming was about to rush into the flames, he suddenly shot straight up, drawing a beautiful arc in the air.
"Well done." Qin Xiaochuan patted Kaiming's head in praise. He looked up and saw a wind blade sever the neck of a Quetzalcoatlus, and Han Kexin rushed out of the encirclement of three other Quetzalcoatlus.
"Let's go over there," Qin Xiaochuan gestured to Kaiming.
Kaiming, along with Qin Xiaochuan and Guo Shiyi, quickly rushed to Han Kexin's side. With their cooperation, they soon wiped out all the remaining Wind God Pteranodons.
Han Kexin watched the plummeting Quetzalcoatl, put away her Wind Whisper Hand Cannon, and said calmly, "This battle has consumed too much of our spiritual energy. We need to rest properly. It seems we need to find a place to spend the night."
"The next suspicious target isn't far from here. After we've investigated this target, let's take a good rest," Qin Xiaochuan said.
"Let's go, you lead the way." Han Kexin nodded.
The four of them flew smoothly for the next leg of the journey, without encountering any hordes of monsters. Soon they arrived at the suspicious target point that Qin Xiaochuan had mentioned.
It was a deep canyon with ravines. Standing on the edge of the canyon and looking down at the whole canyon, a desolate and dangerous atmosphere came over you. The rock walls on both sides were steep as if cut by a knife, revealing the reddish-brown soil. At the bottom of the canyon, wild grass grew and monsters would occasionally rush past. The giant eagle on the cliff was always silently watching everything in the canyon. As long as there was a slight opportunity, it would swoop down and quickly grab its prey to return to its nest.
The wind howled through the cracks in the canyon, making a terrifying "whooshing" sound. It was already four or five in the afternoon, and the sun was setting, casting deep shadows on one side of the canyon, making this desolate place even more desolate.
Qin Xiaochuan used his mental space to explore the canyon, but found no trace of the Xuanyuan Sword. He was already used to this, and the canyon was large enough. Qin Xiaochuan's mental space was limited, so he needed to spend more time exploring the surroundings.
Han Kexin glanced at the sky, then at the canyon below, and said to Qin Xiaochuan, "It's getting late. I think this canyon is a good place for camping. Why don't you find a cave to spend the night in?"
"That's what I thought too, so I've already found one." Qin Xiaochuan pointed towards a rock wall in the canyon. "There are fewer monsters around there, probably because a more powerful monster lives inside. It's perfect for spending the night."
"Let's go there then." After saying that, Han Kexin took the lead and flew in the direction Qin Xiaochuan pointed, with the others following closely behind.
As Qin Xiaochuan approached the cave, he saw a massive beehive, as large as a hill, hanging on the cliff face. The beehive was made of translucent, blood-red beeswax and bone fragments, its surface riddled with holes. From each hole, one could vaguely see wriggling larvae or patrolling giant bees. Sticky golden threads hung from the bottom of the beehive, extending all the way to the bottom of the canyon. The dripping golden liquid formed a corrosive surface on the ground.
"What is this?" Qin Xiaochuan's mind instantly flashed back to the monster knowledge he had previously crammed. The giant bee flying outside the hive was the common yet dangerous Heart-Eating Giant Bee recorded in the book.
Han Kexin clearly noticed the amazing beehive as well, or rather, such a huge beehive was impossible to miss. She frowned slightly but didn't say anything, and calmly flew towards the target cave.
Before long, the four of them landed at the entrance of the cave. The cave was more than four meters high and pitch black inside. Clumps of bushes grew around it, covering half of the entrance.
Qin Xiaochuan couldn't help but say, "Shouldn't we find another place to spend the night? I just saw a Heart-Eating Troll Bee hive. There should be a lot of Heart-Eating Troll Bees around here. It would be troublesome if they targeted us."
Han Kexin glanced at the cave in front of her and said casually, "It won't be easy to find another cave as ideal as this one. It's getting dark soon, and wasting too much time will be detrimental. The Netherworld Mountains are a hundred times more dangerous at night than during the day. We can use this cave to completely conceal our presence. Besides, the troll bees are only active during the day and retreat to their nests at night. As long as we don't provoke them, there won't be any problems. So I don't recommend changing locations again."
Han Kexin did not directly reject Qin Xiaochuan's suggestion, and in the last sentence she left the final decision-making power to him. Although Qin Xiaochuan felt strange, he did not show it, and simply said, "In that case, let's do as you say. I'll take care of the big guy inside first."
As soon as the group landed beside the cave, the monster inside sensed their presence and charged out with a roar before they could even enter.
"Boom... Boom..." Qin Xiaochuan felt his feet trembling, and sand and stones kept falling from the rock wall. Before long, a huge creature, carrying a smell of rust and sulfur, rushed straight towards Qin Xiaochuan.
Qin Xiaochuan easily dodged the monster's attack, and the monster, propelled by inertia, rushed forward another ten meters before stopping. It then turned around and continued to lock onto Qin Xiaochuan, at which point everyone saw the monster's full form.
