Chapter 34 : Book of Beast
"This lowly humans! You think this divine belongs to you ? Bah!stinky humans don't deserve any of it!", The huge imoogi cackling to himself while slittering fast towards the where the divine component is. It's huge eyes shining with greed in thinking the benefits he'll get when he get to consume the divine. But his face dimmed a little when he remembered something.
"Just let me take it first, then I don't care whatever you all do!", With hurried movements ,he wave his tail towards the thick wall infront of him, it crushed and creates a hole that can fit his huge size.
"Hhmp!, A divine and my partake to the fiest later..,,this is a very good day!," The Imoogi confidently slitter again towards the dark hole he made.
The third layer of the land of beast is filled with voices of agony after the Giganticus descend . Spirit beast or cultivators,. There's no difference. Majority of them are devoured the moment they are seen.
A woman on the back of the Giganticus is composedly watching the scene.She has a dark purple eyes ,long dark hair with three braids on her left head, Her long red robe with wide sleeves is partially covering one of her hand that is covered in dark gloves and emitting ominous aura.
She looked particularly at the two little woman who triggered the teleportation sygil, they had this extremely powerful barrier that even a Giganticus can't break, but as she look on its source , it is coming from a single talisman.
"Weaklings" she snorted then lay on the Giganticus broad back and close her eyes. She looked like she doesn't care on whatever is happening around her.
The two little women is Yueji and Xueqing. When they open the barrier , the two of them never expect that it will trigger a teleportation sygil! . It is because of the talisman that is bestowed to them by their young master that they are still alive . It activates automatically when it detected a highly ominous aura. They are covered instantly by a high level spirit barrier that is so thick that even the sharp teeth and stomp of Giganticus can't break it!
When the Giganticus ran out of patience with their barrier. It turn its attention to other Cultivators in the area! The two cultivators that is fighting with them a while ago are instantly turns to human paste even if they already activated their defensive treasure. The Giganticus crush the treasure with one stomp and blood sips under its foot from the mush . A very terrible sight to witness.
But it doesn't end there. Its long tail sway and whip the tall trees and hills around!. That one move flatten few hundred meters of land! Whatever it sees, Cultivators or beasts all die .
Yueji is still trembling from fright while Xueqing is on guard, she looks valiant but on the inside ,she is thoroughly shaken. What's happening is beyond what they ever witness in their life! How could the simple competition become something this terrible?. They can't connect any communication to the outside . Teleportation and the monitoring plates become useless. Does their clan knew what's happening to them now? What will happen to them?.
The Giganticus walks towards the entrance to the next layer. Thundering sounds and shaking land with every step announced it's terrifying presence. Cultivators are scurrying away like small beasts when they see or felt the Giganticus. No one wants to step on its way.
The fourth layers is different from the second layer. The cultivators here are far daring ,more savage and they had their own stashes of life saving treasures. The fight between the young masters of clans and the Giganticus has started!
Fang Yunxu of Fang Clan is true to his title as Crazy, He is the first one to attack as if he never felt afraid, Facing the three raging Giganticus ,with two sword in his hands, he fought as if there's no tomorrow. Never stepping back even if he is injured!,
Mei Ying of Lotus River Sect didn't disappoint either. Her attacks maybe lighter than Fang Yunxu,but she is the fastest of all the Cultivators around here. Short sword in her hands never stop moving , either to attack or to defend. Sneaking attacks everywhere possible!
Gu Yun from Sublime mages school is the one who is on the back. Producing some high damaging attack spells while the two independent Cultivators is around him. Shielding him from Giganticus attacks. It is obvious that the three of them hastily made an agreement to make a group in this calamity.
The Song twins are infront of Gu Yun. They had their own Barrier that even Mei Ying and Gu Yun is envious of. It is a very thick barrier that who knows how to crack down .Song Weisheng keeps attacking with a bow and arrow from a far. While Song Wenyan is observing the man on the back in one of the Giganticus. That person they all think is the most dangerous than this Giganticus.
The man is just watching them all attack while sitting with hand on his cheek. His smile makes all of them more cautious. It is as if he is laughing at them. When one of the Giganticus started bleeding,his smile becomes even more wider. His eyes almost in slits.
The number three Giganticus sway its tail towards Gu Yun, directly attacking their barrier! But the treasure that supporting their barrier is good enough not to be damage by that direct assault!. The owner of it,the independent cultivator paled a little from the power consumption.
Song Weisheng and Gu Yun at the same time attack the third Giganticus . Gu Yun launches several fire spell around the beast body . It's skin is so thick that the attack only blacken its skin a bit. But that's enough to divert its attention. Weisheng's arrows have incantations, and he bind a talisman at the same time, While Gu Yun is attacking , he looks at the demon beast mouth. Carefully and never let this arrow miss its target.His arrow directly hits the demon beast in the mouth ! Inside the demon beast mouth, the arrow explodes and even bits of flesh and blood splatters everywhere near it! An ear splitting roar from the heavily injured Giganticus assault their head.
The man look at the third Giganticus. Its head is almost gone and bleeding profusely. The neck is already dangling .
"Oh, someone's got a good stuff! .... " His smile is getting more dazzling.
"Giganticus! For real?.., woah! That's a dinosaur size! ", Song Xi with his hand on his chin watch the screen with great interest. The huge demon beast walks with thunderous heavy steps.While a person on its head watch the cultivators on the ground with great enthusiasm. The teleportation sygils disappears when they arrived .While Barriers covered the skies ,like it cuts the sections of each layers.
"Eh! This thing's carnivorous?.... How can you let your pet eat people! Are you nuts?", He can't let out his disgust on his face so he just let it out by munching the sweets Zhen gave to him. He watch with cold face while watching how this Giganticus hunt the cultivators on the ground.
"Daring! This fake Dinos with their boss is too daring! That kids are from the Alliance and you dare think them as food? Hah!They won't let them run their asses here without showering them protective treasure !fool! , That's my nephews ! As if you can touch them with your messy paws?disgusting! That's from my own stash of talismans,of course ,that will be super durable! Hah! Yeah! Kill them all! Stupid! Why do you only use one of that mega bomb talisman I gave you! Ah!!!are you a real Song! Too stinky!!! Stinky!!!," That little star(Gu Yun) is pretty decent , and that cute girl too has good potential! Good seeds", If this is in social media he probably gives this kids a big thumbs up and lot of hearts!. But he is a little worried when he saw the lower layer.
"Ah ,good thing I gave to the little gossip girls that defensive treasure. At least ,those fakes dinos can't do anything to them."then he notice the cultivators from the lesser clans and independent cultivators, this people is the most pitiful. They don't have much treasure to protect themselves." Hhmm,Those kids needs to rely on themselves to survive," As minutes passed, his mood is getting darker.
The crunching sound of enumerable candies being munch to powder is heard for few minutes before finally stop. With a dark face , Song Xi look at the empty plate beside him. " No more!? How can that be!? There's still so many just moments ago!.....where that all go?!." He tried to look on the ground if chances that he drop it . His eyes are met with the wide eyed white wolf beside his foot. He can almost understand what that eyes are saying." You eat it all ! You glutton! You had the guts to look here!puh! Shameless!" I can imagine this little cuty can say it given a chance. He darted his gaze away.
He look at the person beside him. Still unmoving and breathing regularly as if he is really sleeping. Can I hit this one? Still pretending?hah! Dude! Your turf is already raided by that stinking dinos, aren't you going to do anything about it? You're willing to just wait it out here till all the bad cast spread out their plans? This place will have a new river made out of blood soon if you don't stop it.
He stare coldly on the sleeping man beside him while tapping his fan slowly in his hand. Considering whether he will be kind and give this person a good beating or just hit this Zhen's head straight up. But nah, I can't hit this guy. How could I dare do that? This dude is more powerful than me, Even if I had the means to leave here unscathed, It is not good to have enemies.
But the people out there... It's hard to just watch and do nothing...more so, he knows he can do something about it.
" The right brow is twitching... ",
"... The annoyance level definitely be in above average right now..."
" I must suggest, please don't hit ..."
"You"ll get hurt.."
A teasing gentle voice woke him up from his reverie. But the things he heard just irritate him more. Their surrounding area almost freeze up from so much coldness coming from Song Xi. This Zhen is really looking for a beating...yes! Irritating me this much!
"Crack!" A resounding snap from his fan can be heard. The two of them look at the hand that is holding the exquisite folded fan. That thin white hand snap his fan into two!. Speechless, Zhen looked at it for a while before sitting up at another end of the chair and cough a little.
" I"ll buy you another,"
"Like hell I need you to buy me another one! Who am I? I'm am Song Xi! Dude! My Clan is the wealthiest out here in this continent!why would I need you to buy me another?!" He scream out!,yes!he scream inside his brain...He almost spat out blood from irritation with this person! I am amazing right? I still remember my f****** image in this situation!
"You..., You want me to just watch while people are dying left and right down there?", He stare at the person coldly as if he want to freeze that person on the spot.
"You know something like this will happen then ask me to just wait, watch and do nothing?",
Zhen just look at his direction, leaning on the backrest. He feels as if this person with his blindfolded eyes are boring holes in his face. He stared at him like that for a while before sighing. As if he feels relieved.
" That's good...Xin...
"I am glad....at least something is still the same..." Zhen's voice is too low but he still can hear some parts of it . He don't understand why he said something like that.
The white wolf beside Song Xi 's leg just watch the two of them in silence. Not even moving. But his two ears above his head is in full attention,his round eyes gets even rounder.
In this meadow, only rustling of tree leaves and grasses from the breeze can be heard . The sky already had gold red and indigo hues. The sun is setting in a peaceful day. Far different from the turmoil facing the cultivators in the Beasts Land.
With a sigh, Zhen stand up and come near him. Song Xi's cold eyes still staring at him. Helpless, he said .
"Don't be mad....Of course I know you can't just watched it all happen infront of you," Song Xi can see how Zhen is indifferent to all of the happenings down there. No pity, no interest, not even a bit of concern. He now wonder why he even bother staying out here .
" I want to go..."
"Then let's go ... I'll come with you ", then Zhen open his hand as if waiting for him to take it. Song Xi didn't even know why he take that warm hand naturally. He stand up and just about to walk when he realize what they are doing....."WTF!!! What are we!? Little girls that likes to walk hand in hand!? He almost snap his hand to take it away from Zhen's grasp. He just step back But he suddenly felt that everything is swaying,rotating around him!. He step back but his vision has darken . He feels he is falling... Falling...
Zhen immediately hold his arms when notice his movements.
"Xin!..Xin!.." that's the last thing he heard then darkness engulped him.
