Li Xi was also taken aback by the sight in front of him.
In the surging sea water, a giant black snake stood up, its exposed upper body and head already reaching over a hundred meters, emitting a faint green light from its snake eyes. At this moment, it was looking down from high above, coldly gazing at the people on the shore, as if it was watching some annoying little bugs.
Compared to this, the many fierce beasts behind Li Xiu suddenly no longer mattered.
Li Xiu had already killed many of the various huge beasts, leaving only a few dozen alive. They were originally very ferocious, chasing after Li Xiu with the intention of tearing him apart and devouring him.
But when they reached here and saw the black giant snake, their fierce appearance immediately disappeared and the roar stopped, turning into mournful sounds. Their bodies were trembling as if an injured beast was pleading for something.
For some reason, when the black giant snake saw these giant beasts, it was even more angry than when it saw Li Xiu and the green-dressed girl's group. It gave a hissing sound, which was originally a hissing sound used by snakes to intimidate and warn, but at this moment it became a deafening and urgent roar.
The sea water was violently fluctuating and shaking, and on the beach, the green-dressed girl and her companions covered their ears with painful expressions. The five yellow-clad followers who had weaker cultivation held their heads, blood streaming from their ears, already deaf.
The masked woman endured the pain and didn't say a word. She stepped forward, grabbed the green-dressed girl, and flew away, as for the five yellow-clad followers, they didn't even bother to look.
Li Xiu relied on his powerful physical strength and didn't have much to worry about, but he quickly summoned the Purple-Wing Sword and quickly swooped away, trying to get as far away from this underground beach as possible.
Several dozens of giant beasts seem to have understood something from that roar, and they immediately abandoned their pleas and tried to turn back to run away, but it was already too late.
Although the black giant snake was huge in size, its movements were not slow when it suddenly sprang into action.
In the Merciless Sea, the black giant snake raised a massive wave behind it. The black giant snake twisted its tail, breaking the huge wave it had raised, and its massive tail, which was about a hundred yards long and several yards high, ferociously swept across the beach.
In an instant, the wind suddenly rose, the sand and stones flew, and it covered a square area of several hundred meters. Suddenly, there was a thunderous roar that shook the sky, the earth began to shake and crack, and the scene was terrifying as if it had just caught up with the change of heaven and earth!
It wasn't until a dozen or so breaths later that everything gradually calmed down, the wind stopped and the sand settled. Li Xiu looked towards the beach and his face showed a hint of shock.
It wasn't because he saw any gruesome dead bodies of beasts, he didn't even see a drop of blood, because not only were there no beast corpses, but even the several li ( Chinese mile ) long beach no longer existed.
In its place, there was a terrorizing trench that was over a dozen zhang deep and several li long.
Compared to the green-dressed girl's shock and panic, the masked woman was also shaken, but it seemed as if she had expected it, she muttered as she looked at the massive figure in the sea.
"It's it, this beast is still not dead."
"Aunt... Aunt You, do you know what this is? This is too terrifying."
The green-dressed girl was shocked and turned to ask the masked woman.
The masked woman looked at the massive black snake-like figure in the Merciless Sea that appeared to be a black peak standing there since ancient times. Her voice was full of fear.
"This is the legendary 'Black Water Mystic Snake'."
Bi Yao was shocked, and at the same time, a hint of doubt appeared on her face: "Isn't that terrifying monster said to have been killed by the Divine Beast Mysterious Bird in the Western Great Swamp a thousand years ago? Why is it appearing here alive and well?"
The masked woman shook her head, speaking quickly and seriously: "This is not what we should consider now."
"Bi Yao, this Black Water Mystic Snake is an ancient demon beast, fierce and unparalleled. Only the sky-defying Yellow Bird ( Divine Beast ) can get rid of it, and there are only a handful of people in the world who can stop it."
"Aunt You, I don't think you're included in that handful of people, are you?"
The green-dressed girl looked at the terrifying figure in a daze.
"Of course not me, the Black Water Mystic Snake has already been provoked, it's best for us to leave quickly."
The masked woman spoke harshly, but there was no blaming in her words.
As the two of them flew away, retreating quickly, Bi Yao frowned and asked: "What about the Blood Drop Cave, Aunt You? If the things inside are obtained, it will be a great help to the Holy religion."
The masked woman shook her head and sighed: "I don't know either. That beast has a life span of nearly thousands of years and can sleep for several months with ease. Now that it has been awakened and has become angry, I'm afraid that it will not calm down for several hours."
"With its terrifying strength, after a few hours of the rampage, even if the Blood Drop Cave has not collapsed, I'm afraid we won't know where it has been buried. Our chances of finding it became even slimmer, and at that time, we can only rely on luck."
Bi Yao looked at the Black Water Mystic Snake unwillingly and then scanned the surroundings with a slightly furrowed brow. Where did the sword-wielding man who suddenly appeared earlier go? Did he die under the sweep of the Black Water Mystic Snake's tail?
Bi Yao shook her head and didn't think about it anymore. She had to leave the area with her aunt to avoid danger for a few hours.
At this moment, in the wide trench created by the Black Water Mystic Snake, some smoke and dust were suddenly pushed aside, but there was nothing there. The scene was very strange.
Li Xiu collected his breath, holding the Compass of Desire in his hand, and slowly floated in a certain direction. He occasionally turned his head to look at the Black Water Mystic Snake, which was rampaging in the sea, with a vigilant expression.
In the past, Li Xiu's strength often stood at the top of each virtual world, and his ability to hide was very useless to him. However, in this virtual world, the situation was different, he could no longer act recklessly, and this ability was put to use.
The light golden pointer stopped moving and Li Xiu knew that the Blood Drop Cave was already at his feet, so he no longer had to search, and he quietly started using his force field to break apart the rocks.
The Blood Drop Cave is a place where many secret treasures, magic weapons, and evil scriptures are hidden, but these are not what Li Xiu is interested in. He is more interested in the first volume of the Heavenly Book and the Happy Reunion Bell in the stone cave.
The entrance to the cave is not too big, just enough for Li Xiu to enter, and he floated into it until he touched the hard stone walls. Li Xiu's eyes sparkled with happiness, as he no longer had to be so cautious underground, and he used his purple-wing sword to start digging through the stone walls.
Despite its appearance, the stone walls were extremely hard and it took Li Xiu a lot of effort and time to dig through them, and he entered.
Upon entering, he found that it was a stone room, and in the centre of the circular stone room, there was a stone path leading to a deeper place.
On one side of the stone room, there are two large stone sculptures. One is smiling with a kind face and standing gracefully, dressed in clothes that are carved as if they are alive, like a Bodhisattva statue.
But standing next to it was another statue with a different appearance, ferociously evil, black-faced with horns, eight arms and four heads and even blood stains at the corners of its mouth, reminding people of perhaps having just eaten a living being.
In front of the two statues, there was a stone table with incense burners and cushions for incense candles.
Li Xiu knew that these are the gods worshipped by the practitioners of the demonic path, the Underworld Holy Mother and the Heavenly Fiend Wisdom King and that if practitioners of the demonic path came here, they would undoubtedly have to kneel down and worship, but it has nothing to do with him.
Li Xiu looked at it and then went straight ahead, heading deeper into the stone room. He had never believed in any gods, he only believed in the power he longed for.
