281 The Invisible Monster
However, this was not the time to discuss this problem. The creatures in the dark were gradually approaching, and even the light of the night-luminescent pearl was dimming at speed visible to the naked eye.
He couldn’t tell if it was an illusion.
After figuring out the source, Ye Xuan and Shen Changling quickly sealed their senses and added a layer of spiritual power to cover their bodies. They could no longer smell the faint fishy smell and were relieved.
“We should be leaving the illusionary realm now, right?”
Ye Xuan looked at the night-luminescent pearl in his hand and shook his head. “It’s not that simple.”
The light of the night-luminescent pearl was already weak, and the sound of those thin crawling things was even more obvious. The potential threat was not caused by the illusion but by reality. It was too late to escape.
Those unknown creatures were approaching, but Ye Xuan couldn’t see them. He could only determine their location by sound, making their situation worse.
Shen Changling felt his arm go numb as if it was bitten by something. If Ye Xuan didn’t pull him back in time, most of his palm would have been bitten off by that unknown monster.
Looking at the bleeding hand and the neat and sharp teeth marks, the white bones could be vaguely seen. “What the hell is this? I can’t see it, but it’s so lethal.”
Although a cultivator’s body wasn’t as tough as iron, it was still stronger than a group of people. It was difficult for ordinary attacks to cause any damage to it. However, Shen Changling suffered a big loss by facing the cultivation technique.
“I don’t know. At least be careful.”
Ye Xuan shot out his spiritual power, but it hit nothing. He didn’t know if it didn’t work or if the thing dodged it. There were too many rustling sounds, causing interference and influence.
It was to the point that he could not tell where the monsters were attacking from.
Shen Changling’s attack was the same. “What the hell? I felt like I hit something, but there was no reaction.”
Qian Yuan suddenly thought of something and said, “Let me do it.”
Scorching flames burst forth from Qian Yuan’s body like a fire dragon, capable of driving away the darkness and bringing some light. Ordinary flames were helpless against these flames, and only special dragon flames could do so.
At the same time, there were also crackling sounds of explosions, like fireworks, during the new year. The air was filled with the smell of something burning.
This smell was extremely unpleasant, even more, pungent than the previous fishy smell.
Soon, a layer of unknown things fell on the ground. It should be the monsters’ corpses, but before he could check it, a new wave of monsters pounced on him.
The sound of rustling was like a wave that spread rapidly to the surroundings. It was as if that thing could not be eliminated no matter what. It appeared to be endless, wave after wave.
The abyss was divided into several fire dragons. Wherever they passed, the sound of explosions became even louder, lit up most nearby areas. Ye Xuan’s sharp eyes noticed that not far northeast from them, there was a small winding path.
He noticed that Qian Yuan’s face was a little pale. By right, using this little energy should not have consumed so much of his power, but this cave was too special, and it limited Qian Yuan’s ability.
Now that Qian Yuan had released so many fire dragons at once, it was clear that he could not withstand it.
Ye Xuan’s fingertips moved slightly, sending Qian Yuan a lot of spiritual power, and his face looked much better. “Are you okay?”
Qian Yuan shook his head, indicating that he was fine.
It was also thanks to Qian Yuan’s profound cultivation that he could release his dragon flames for a long time. Although the fire dragon’s ability was somewhat weakened, it was still quite lethal to the monster.
However, their expressions were not very good because they found that the number of dead monsters was decreasing, which meant that they might have developed a certain resistance to the dragon flame.
“You use the fire dragon to clear the way, and we’ll go that way.”
As Ye Xuan and the others turned around, the monster in the dark didn’t intend to let them go easily. The rustling sound turned into a creepy chewing sound as if it was swallowing something.
Although he didn’t see it, the number of corpses on the ground seemed to have decreased. Ye Xuan suddenly had a bad feeling.
“Let’s hurry up and leave.”
The three of them ran madly towards the path. Qian Yuan threw a few fire dragons behind them to cover their retreat. They had only run for a short distance, but the monsters’ sound gradually faded. It seemed that they had not caught up.
Ye Xuan turned his head and could vaguely see the outline of the behemoth flashing by. It seemed to be pieced together by countless broken limbs and body parts, which made him want to vomit.
Shen Changling was still in shock. “Thank God they didn’t catch up. What the hell was that?”
Qian Yuan didn’t say anything. His brows were tightly furrowed, indicating that he was in a bad mood. “I realized that the longer I stay here, the greater the suppression on me.”
As soon as he finished speaking, a small flame appeared on Qian Yuan’s hand. The faint light was like a candle flame swaying in the wind, which was in danger of being extinguished at any time.
Ye Xuan and Shen Changling’s hearts couldn’t help but thump.
Qian Yuan was the strongest among them in terms of combat power. If even Qian Yuan were like this, then the rest of the journey would be even more difficult.
However, the strange thing was that they weren’t affected at all. This power seemed only to target demonic beasts, so it was inevitable that they would have to investigate the reason behind this.
Shen Changling looked at the endless road in front of him and said in a hoarse voice, “Then, are we still going to continue?”
