Andre's doubt was like a boulder thrown into a calm lake, putting everyone in a dilemma. At this moment, Sanchez, as a cautious person, was unwilling to draw conclusions easily. He took out the mysterious instrument again and observed it carefully with full concentration, as if he wanted to see through the scene in front of him. This time, he looked at it in particular detail. After a long time, he slowly said: "I confirmed that it is indeed a tiger-scale tapir, no doubt."
"Is it a tiger-scale tapir?" Lucas stared at him closely, with a bit of anxiety and doubt in his eyes.
Sanchez looked a little embarrassed, not looking good. He silently handed the instrument to him and said softly, "Take a look for yourself."
Lucas took the instrument, put it on quickly, looked at the figure by the lake, and immediately said with certainty, "It is indeed a tiger-scale tapir, absolutely true!" After that, he handed the instrument back to Sanchez. However, when he turned his head to look at Andre's eyes, he was suddenly full of bad intentions. In his heart, Andre's suspicious and mysterious behavior was simply unreasonable. He wasted everyone's precious time for no reason. He deserved to die!
Feeling the undisguised murderous intent in Lucas's eyes, Sanchez sighed secretly, knowing that although Andre's move was out of caution, it seemed like a big mistake to others at this moment. But he knew that in this dangerous pioneering operation, killing each other would be an absolute taboo. He shook his head helplessly and advised: "Let's complete the task first, don't cause any more trouble."
"Humph!" Lucas snorted coldly, his cold eyes shot at Andre like a sharp arrow, and warned coldly: "If you dare to talk nonsense like this again, don't blame me for being rude to you!" After that, he ignored Andre and immediately used his powerful beast control technique to control the majestic Kodoson python beast, like a black lightning, rushing towards the tiger-scaled tapir by the lake. In his opinion, dealing with a mere sixth-level pet beast, with his powerful Kodoson python beast, it is not easy to catch it, and it can be strangled to death easily.
The tiger-scaled tapir that was originally drinking water leisurely by the lake seemed to have noticed the Kodoson python beast approaching rapidly, and slowly turned its head. At the moment it turned its head, Sanchez, who was holding an instrument to observe the battle situation carefully, turned pale instantly, almost screamed out of shock, and shouted: "Not good!"
The slightly terrified cry reached Lucas' ears, and he was slightly stunned. An ominous premonition surged in his heart. He quickly took out his own instrument and looked at the tiger-scaled tapir. This sight immediately made his hair stand on end, as if a cold chill ran straight up from the soles of his feet to his heart!
The tiger-scaled tapir had been drinking water by the lake with its body sideways, and they could only see the side of its body, but at this moment it turned its head, and the other half of its body was revealed in front of everyone. It was actually a pile of white bones, revealing endless gloom and horror. The flesh and blood on the other half of its head had long disappeared. In the empty eye sockets, there were snake-like tentacles twisting constantly, and on the skull, there was a strange creature covered with tentacles like an octopus, which looked extremely weird and creepy.
This is indeed a tiger-scale tapir, but it is a tiger-scale tapir that has been dead for a long time!
Andre was still wondering if his judgment was wrong, but when he heard Sanchez's terrified cry, he reacted instantly, flashed, quickly grabbed the instrument in Sanchez's hand, and looked at the tiger-scale tapir. At a glance, his pupils shrank slightly, his face became extremely solemn, and he said in a deep voice: "It's a seventh-level soul beast!" This soul beast is a monster he once saw by chance in the chaotic dead world. Although it is not big, its strength is extremely strong and should not be underestimated. More importantly, it often brings unexpected dangers.
Bang! At this moment, the Kodosen python beast had already swam in front of the tiger-scaled tapir like an arrow from a bow. The tiger-scaled tapir had no intention of dodging, but under the control of the soul beast, it rushed straight towards the Kodosen python beast. Seeing this, the Kodosen python beast was overjoyed, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed the tiger-scaled tapir whole in one gulp, with swift and fierce movements.
"Damn it!" Seeing this scene, Andre's face suddenly changed, and he growled anxiously to Lucas next to him: "If you don't want your pet to die, let it spit out the tiger-scale tapir, and then withdraw immediately, quickly!" Lucas was stunned when he heard this. He never thought that Andre, who he had always looked down upon, would dare to roar at him so boldly at this moment. This made his anger "swoosh" rise up, and the murderous intent in his eyes instantly erupted like a volcanic eruption. He shouted angrily: "What did you say?" In his opinion, many low-level undead creatures can control the corpses of other creatures, and his Kodoson python beast is a powerful seventh-level pet. Let alone a dead tiger-scale tapir, what can it do even if it is alive?
Sanchez saw that the atmosphere between the two was tense and ready to explode, so he tried to intervene. At this moment, a painful roar came from a distance. The sound was extremely shrill, as if it was full of endless pain and despair. It echoed in the silent night, making people feel cold.
Everyone heard it and looked in the direction of the sound. The Codoson python beast that had just bit the tiger-scale tapir suddenly seemed to be crazy, rolling violently on the ground, and its huge body kept twisting, as if it was suffering from unspeakable pain. It looked distressing. At the same time, it was covered by a thick dark aura. It was the dark energy unique to undead creatures, like a layer of haze, covering the Codoson python beast, exuding a chilling breath.
"Stupid!" Seeing this, Andre gnashed his teeth in anger, knowing that it was too late at this moment, and the Codoson python beast was afraid of being in danger. He didn't want to stay any longer, so he turned around and said to Sanchez anxiously, "Leave here immediately, this Codoson python beast is hopeless. The one attached to the tiger-scale tapir is a seventh-level soul beast. If there is no attribute restraint, ordinary pets of the same level are simply not its opponents!"
"Soul beast?" Sanchez, Leon, and Felix beside him were all shocked and wide-eyed when they heard this. It was obvious that they were very unfamiliar with this kind of creature and had never heard of it before.
Lucas, who was about to attack Andre, also changed his face after hearing this. A trace of panic flashed in his eyes, and he shouted in shock and anger, "What nonsense are you talking about!"
Although Sanchez had never heard of this kind of star pet, Andre was able to keenly detect the abnormality before, which made his words more credible in Sanchez's mind. He frowned, thought for a moment, and said quickly: "If it is really just a seventh-level pet, we can kill it together."
"If it is just a soul beast, then of course we can give it a try." Andre's face was still very ugly, and he said quickly, "But you have to know that soul beasts are just parasites of blood soul beasts. Wherever there are soul beasts, there are usually blood soul beasts lurking nearby. If I am not mistaken, the seemingly calm lake is not ordinary water at all, but blood. The blood soul beast is probably lurking in the lake at this moment!"
"Blood soul beast?" Hearing Andre say another unfamiliar pet name, everyone was stunned again, their eyes full of confusion and fear.
"With a seventh-level soul beast supplying nutrients to it, this blood soul beast is at least ninth-level, and it may even be a more powerful king beast level!" Andre gritted his teeth and said solemnly. He thought to himself that if he was not in this dangerous pioneering land and needed to rely on these people to help explore the way, he would have fled here alone without hesitation. After all, facing such a powerful unknown enemy is too dangerous.
"Ninth level? King beast?" These words were like a heavy bomb, instantly waking everyone up from their astonishment. Although they were full of doubts and didn't understand why Andre knew this, they saw the miserable appearance of the Codoson python beast struggling in pain in the distance, and they couldn't help but feel a deep chill in their hearts. Such a fierce Codoson python beast was easily defeated by this mysterious enemy in one encounter. The strength of this blood soul beast is absolutely beyond imagination and is an extremely dangerous existence.
"Let's go!" Sanchez made a prompt decision, knowing that if he hesitated at this moment, he was afraid that everyone would be buried here. He no longer hesitated and shouted loudly.
Lucas was stunned for a moment. After coming to his senses, although he still had a glimmer of hope for his pet, he also understood that the situation was extremely critical. He hurriedly said, "Are you going to abandon my pet?"
"This..." Sanchez didn't know how to answer for a moment. After all, Lucas was invited by him. If he just abandoned his pet and ran away, if this matter got out, their reputation would be ruined. It would be too bad.
"Stinky boy, are you deliberately taking revenge on your own and making up these lies just to make my pet die in vain?!" Lucas had lost his mind at this moment. He turned his eyes full of anger and suspicion to Andre, with a crazy killing intent in his eyes, as if he wanted to eat Andre alive.
Andrei didn't take the threat of this man seriously at all. Seeing that he repeatedly delayed the precious escape time, the murderous intent in his heart also broke out completely. His eyes were like sharp blades, staring at Lucas, and coldly scolded: "If you don't want to die, shut up immediately!" "You!" Lucas was so angry that his face was hideous. He could no longer suppress his anger. He instantly drew the sword at his waist. The cold and shining sword body revealed a cold murderous intent in this dark night. At this tense moment, a huge "plop" sound of water suddenly came from a distance, breaking the tense atmosphere. Everyone turned their heads and saw that the Codoson python beast, which had been struggling painfully on the shore before, fell into the lake without warning, and instantly set off surging waves on the lake. The scene was quite shocking. Then, the next moment, three blood-colored tentacles that were as thick as the Codoson python suddenly rose from the lake. The tentacles were covered with strange patterns and exuded a chilling breath. They quickly wrapped around the body of the Codoson python like the arms of a demon, and then suddenly exerted force to drag the body of the Codoson python and slowly dragged it to the depths of the lake until the huge body was completely submerged in the lake and disappeared, as if it was completely swallowed by the dark lake.
"This..." Lucas was a little dazed when he saw this scene. He only felt that the originally close connection between him and the Codoson python was suddenly disconnected at this moment, as if something important was forcibly stripped from his life. In the moment before his death, he clearly felt a strong fear, like a surging tide, transmitted back from the consciousness of the Codoson python, making his soul tremble.
"Hurry up!" Andre only took a glance at the horrifying scene in the lake, and immediately recognized that it was indeed the blood soul beast. He knew that if he delayed any longer, everyone would be in danger. He didn't bother to say anything more, turned around and ran back the way he came, as fast as a gust of wind.
Seeing this, Sanchez, Leon, and Felix were also instinctively driven by fear and followed without hesitation. They were full of fear at the moment, and their minds were blank. They just wanted to escape from this terrible place as soon as possible.
Lucas came back to his senses, his face became extremely ugly, and a trace of struggle and hesitation flashed in his eyes, but after a moment, he still gritted his teeth and unwillingly caught up with Sanchez and others.
Everyone ran all the way, but would the blood soul beast let them go? In this mysterious and terrifying Normandy wilderness, are there other unknown dangers waiting for them ahead? Can they successfully get rid of the pursuit of the blood soul beast and get out of danger safely? Everything is unknown, and the lingering fear still lingers in everyone's mind, making people full of endless worry and curiosity about the subsequent story.
