Great Demon Sun Wukong-Chapter 778 - 691: We Are Not Lunch
Every person who could enter the Fallen Tomb was among the elite of the Divine Kingdoms, the dazzling and extraordinary. Everyone immediately realized the problem. However, as soon as the person by Xiao He’s side finished speaking, Xiao He couldn’t help but laugh awkwardly, "I’m terribly sorry, with the imposing enemy at hand, I didn’t have time to introduce everyone. Here, here, this is ’Chaos Spiritless,’ the Clan Leader of the Chaotic Giant Clan from my Genesis Divine Nation, and a Mid Grade Heavenly Venerate. Although Wuling’s cultivation is only at the Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade, he is still able to contend with Domain Lord Peak powerhouses. This person is ’Ruo Xi,’ a Guardian of my Genesis Divine Nation. Although our Guardian isn’t as overwhelmingly powerful as Miss Star Sinker, he is also a Mid Grade Heavenly Venerate and skilled in the ’Chaos Five Decisions,’ his strength is truly formidable." The remaining three, people from the Netherworld World, were already very familiar with, as Pangu and Yue Huangquan were old friends for many years, and Meng Lan and Jue Luan were participants in the Patrolling Celestial World trials and had already formed a close bond with Rogue Heart Sword Hero and the others.
After the introductions, they naturally exchanged pleasantries. Especially for the Guardians of the two Divine Kingdoms, they were figures known by reputation but seldom seen in person. Unless there was a matter of particular importance, as Guardians, they needed to remain hidden and watch over things from the shadows. Hence, the Domain Lords from both sides did not recognize the other’s Guardian. As for ’Chaos Spiritless’ from the Chaotic Giant Clan, he was extremely well-known. The Chaotic Giant Clan was considered the foremost clan in the entire universe, with its members reaching the Nine Patterns Supreme level of cultivation upon adulthood. And as the Clan Leader, Chaos Spiritless rarely made public appearances, so much so that even Pangu had only seen him a few times. The reason why Chaos Spiritless had entered the Fallen Tomb this time was for one thing only: to cleanse his own house for the Chaotic Giant Clan.
Although Qian Shang was an undercover agent for Myriad Demons Country, he was indeed a true member of the Chaotic Giant Clan. The emergence of such a traitor within the midst of the Chaotic Giant Clan was a huge disgrace, so Chaos Spiritless personally took action with the intent to kill Qian Shang and wash away the humiliation he had brought upon the Chaotic Giant Clan. "Brother Wuling is right, it seems we have been careless. We always thought the battle would start at the very end, but in reality, it had already begun even before the Fallen Tomb was opened. Alas, it’s shameful that we made such a low-level mistake."
Xiao He shook his head with a sigh, and Yue Huangquan thought for a moment and said, "It seems that the situation should be like this: the number of people who entered the Fallen Tomb this time is at least greater than the limit of five people per party. The brothers from Genesis have just proved this. This means that those Law Enforcers have already tampered with the numbers. And just now, Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation had a total of ten people, so that means each party only has five people. For Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation to accurately locate us, they must have received help from the Law Enforcers. This indicates that in this edition of the Fallen Tomb, Law Enforcers, Myriad Demons Country, and Underworld God Annihilation Nation are in a cooperative relationship."
"However, this cooperative relationship is not as solid as the one between us, because if it were a very close alliance, the numbers from Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation would not be merely ten people, but more. At the very least, there would be sixteen people. From this, we can infer that the Law Enforcers’ attitude towards Myriad Demons Country and Underworld God Annihilation Nation is one of cooperation mixed with caution. And this relationship, hehe, will allow us to conveniently take quite a few actions." Yue Huangquan’s thoughts were cunning, and he could deduce so much from such slight and disconnected details, which could not help but be admired.
"Not only that, but the number of entrants to the Fallen Tomb in previous openings was clearly limited, whereas this time it seems there’s no restriction, which definitely indicates a problem. What this problem is, we do not know for sure at the moment. However, for the Law Enforcers, it’s definitely not a good thing; otherwise, they wouldn’t have carelessly allowed six of us from the Genesis Divine Nation to enter. If they were falsifying the number of entrants, they wouldn’t want it to be discovered, and our entrance is the most potent proof of that. Thus, we can infer that the whole event has probably undergone some changes unknown to us, which may actually work to our advantage," he said.
The speaker was Chaos Spiritless. At this moment, everyone had moved away from where the battle had taken place, but they hadn’t gone too far because they wouldn’t leave Hei Kui behind in the Blood Sea. Moreover, venturing too far from their original exploratory area into the unknown could lead to unnecessary danger. "Now we’re temporarily safe, so the most important thing is to find out where we’ve been sabotaged. Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao’s people were able to find us so quickly; there must be a problem!" Yue Huangquan said as he looked at everyone.
Indeed, if they didn’t resolve this issue, the situation for the people of the Netherworld World would become much more tragic in the Fallen Tomb. It would effectively turn into a hunting ground for them, but with them as blind prey, and the people from Myriad Demons Country and the Underworld God Annihilation Nation would be the hunters with sharp arrows. Now there was no need for doubt; they could definitely pinpoint their location. So, no matter how far they ran, it was useless; the people from Myriad Demons and Annihilation would closely follow behind. And if they kept fleeing until they were too tired to rest, that would be the perfect opportunity for the others to launch a surprise attack. Thus, after discussing with Xiao He, Yue Huangquan decided to first find the sabotage, as this would enable them to go from reactive to proactive.
"I think whatever it is, it must be something all five of us have, but not present on our brother from Genesis. Because the people from Myriad Demons and Annihilation clearly know our movements but not those of the Genesis Divine Nation. Otherwise, they wouldn’t have been so surprised when they saw Lord Xiao He and the rest of you," said Rogue Heart Sword Hero. His judgment was logical, and everyone nodded in agreement. Yue Huangquan glanced at everyone and said, "Come on, let’s see if there’s anything identical on the four of us." There were indeed many identical items on the four of them, as this Fallen Tomb event was critical, and they all carried many Elixirs and Magic Treasures, which were the same. However, after repeatedly checking every identical item, they found nothing unusual.
"This is very strange, could our bodies have been tampered with? But that doesn’t make sense; if someone could sabotage our bodies without us noticing, they would be fully capable of killing us directly. Identical items, identical items... Ah, I’ve remembered something we all overlooked before!" This time, it was Flame God speaking. As soon as Flame God finished speaking, the three Sword Heroes almost simultaneously said, "Heavenly Patrol Order?" Flame God nodded, "The Heavenly Patrol Order is issued by the Heavenly Patrollers. If anything were to be tampered with, that would be all too easy. Come on, everyone, take out your Heavenly Patrol Orders!"
Having said that, he pulled out his own Heavenly Patrol Order and tossed it onto the ground, and Yue Huangquan and a few others also took out their orders, throwing them down together. At this moment, Xiao He brought out his own Heavenly Patrol Order and said, "We also have Heavenly Patrol Orders, but it was only the people from Myriad Demons and Annihilation who didn’t have them that noticed our presence, which is a bit odd." Suddenly, Chaos Spiritless slapped Xiao He’s shoulder and said, "You’re wrong, our Heavenly Patrol Orders are given by the people from the Crimson Army, while theirs were given by the Heavenly Patrollers, and they’re not the same!" Having said that, Chaos Spiritless picked up one of the Heavenly Patrol Orders from the ground and placed it side by side with the one in his hand, then he poured a powerful current of Chaos Attribute Spiritual Power into them, and indeed, everyone immediately noticed the difference.
The Heavenly Patrol Order given by the Heavenly Patrollers started to emit a very faint aura under the stimulation of Chaos Spiritless’s powerful spiritual power. This kind of aura would only be released when Chaos Spiritless pushed his spiritual power to the extreme, and was otherwise imperceptible. Pulling back his spiritual power, Chaos Spiritless nodded and said, "The problem is quite clear now, this Heavenly Patrol Order has been tampered with, I’m afraid the ones held by people from Myriad Demons and Annihilation can detect yours, and that’s how they know your location. In that case, I actually have a good idea, we can make use of this point."
But just as Chaos Spiritless finished speaking, the expressions of everyone present changed in an instant, and they all turned their gaze to a certain direction, which was to their front left. "Not good, the Soul Beasts from the Fallen Tomb, it’s Soul Beasts. Damn, now I know why Ling Weiyang and Xi Zhao retreated!" No sooner had Yue Huangquan finished speaking, than the forest to the left-front of the group began shaking violently, followed by a splendid tiger breaking through countless trees and leaping out.
This was a Soul Beast, similar to those in the Netherworld World, formed of souls, but the difference in strength between the two was like heaven and earth. "Humph, just one, and it scared me half to death. Everyone relax, watch me take this creature down," said the Flame God upon seeing only one beast daring to be so bold, his confidence surging. Having been beaten quite badly by the people from Myriad Demons and Annihilation just a moment ago, if not now, when would he release his frustration?
But no sooner had he spoken, the step that Flame God was about to take suddenly froze mid-air, and then he forced out a smile uglier than crying and turned his head to say, "I think, it is still not right to kill living creatures, let’s, well, retreat!" The swift change in Flame God’s attitude took everyone by surprise, but they were no longer paying attention to him, for behind that tiger, two more, even larger tigers had appeared. The small one before was at the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage, these two bigger ones, at the Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade.
Of course, if it were only these three, the group could still handle them, but as more and more ferocious tigers and hungry wolves appeared in their sight, everyone gasped in shock.
There was a total of more than forty beasts, the weakest at the Heavenly Venerate Primary Stage and the strongest at the Heavenly Venerable Mid Grade.
"Since when are wolves and tigers good friends?"
"I think instead of worrying about that, you should be more concerned about whether we’re going to be their dinner!"
"You’re not quite right either, it’s barely past noon, they’d be having us for lunch!" (To be continued.
