Chapter 1055: Recovering a Life
The mountain beaver does not seem to be in a hurry to eat the prey in its mouth, it first fiddled with its paw a few times, curiously playing with it for a while, before it unhurriedly ate the demon under its paw.
After eating the second person, the mountain beaver once again turned its gaze to the remaining eight people, seemingly picking its next target.
This time, there was no need for Tatsumi to remind them, and no one dared to act rashly again, all of them were trying to lower their presence, praying that the mountain beaver’s habits would be like what Tatsumi had said, and that it would really lose interest in them.
Looking at the distant wood-like, unresponsive eight people, the mountain beaver was indeed a bit disappointed, it impatiently wailed and leapt forward, pouncing in the air towards where the eight people were.
“Ah!”
Looking at the sudden appearance of the huge thing in front of him, the one person closest to the mountain beaver couldn’t hold back the fear in his heart and instinctively retreated a few steps.
Excitement flashed in the mountain beaver’s eyes, and he reached out his paw to fish for this person.
Another prey arrived, the mountain beaver did not easily kill the demon in its claws, it first looked down at the prey underneath its body that was constantly struggling, and then tilted its head to look at the seven people who did not dare to move in their original position, with a little doubt in its expression.
Why did these people not run and move even when they saw themselves, were they not afraid of it?
After looking at it for a while, the beaver dropped its attention back underneath its body and focused on playing with the third prey.
Seeing this, a fearful Chen Breath finally breathed a sigh of relief, it seems that the information he received was right, although the mountain beaver was terrifying, it grew in a closed secret realm for many years, and its nature retained the simple side of the beast.
As long as it overcame the fear in its heart and didn’t move around, there was a high probability that it would be able to escape.
He transmitted his voice to the remaining few people, “See, the mountain beaver is only interested in prey that moves, it has no interest in prey that doesn’t move, those who want to live just need to stand honestly where they are, running away instead will die faster.”
The most miserable is the third person caught by the mountain beaver, the first two people were caught, soon out of breath, and his turn, the mountain beaver seems to be not willing to let him die too quickly, back and forth to play for a while, until he was only left with the last breath, only then he will eat him.
After contentedly eating the third person, the mountain beaver finally remembered the remaining seven people and walked towards them.
The mountain beaver was really big, and the closer it was, the more clearly one could perceive this gap in size, especially when the strength of the mountain beaver already exceeded that of the crowd, this gap in size was directly transformed into a heavy shadow of death that loomed over everyone’s hearts.
Xu Chuniang stared at the mountain beaver’s giant claws, calmly analyzing the odds of winning against the mountain beaver.
She had once managed to escape the pursuit of Celestial Immortal Zhao Mengdi, but that time, she had prepared beforehand and her escape was so brief that after she fled into the Demon Realm’s territory, Zhao Mengdi took the initiative to stop pursuing her.
The speed of the mountain beaver was even faster than Zhao Mengdi’s, it clearly didn’t utilize any laws, and its speed reached the extreme with just the power of its body.
With the mountain beaver, she had no chance of winning at all, but if the mountain beaver really set its sights on her, it might be able to briefly restrict the other party’s movements by using its Chaotic True Qi to catalyze its Speech Spirit Technique, and escape with its life.
However, the mountain beaver had surpassed her by two great realms, so if she wanted the Speech Spirit Technique to work, she would definitely have to pay a huge price.
While Xu Chuniang’s mind was racing, the mountain beaver got closer and closer, and the crowd was even able to see every hair on its body.
But with the previous lesson, even if the fear in their hearts was deep, no one dared to make a move.
The mountain beaver explored its body, curiously looking at this and that, and even stretched out its paw and poked at the one among the three earth devils who had never spoken.
“Snort!”
Its claw, easily penetrated the man’s body, poking a bloody hole in him. Even an Earth Demon was equally unbeatable in front of a Mountain Beaver whose strength was comparable to that of a Heavenly Demon.
After being poked through a hole, that Earth Demon still did not change his face, as if he had not felt anything.
His choice was undoubtedly correct, and the mountain beaver was dissatisfied with his reaction as it disappointedly withdrew its blood-stained paw and casually rubbed it on the ground a few times, directly letting this person go.
Subsequently, it tentatively attacked the remaining few people, and the people who were attacked were all like the previous Earth Demon, who did not move at all even though he was injured, completely ignoring the Mountain Beaver.
Facing a group of prey that would not move, the mountain beaver finally lost interest, it impatiently barked twice, and with a sway of its body, it actually left.
After the beaver left, the crowd still did not dare to walk around, fearing that it would go and come back.
After waiting in place for an incense stick of time, and determining that the mountain beaver was really leaving, Chen Xi was relieved, “It’s gone.”
The crowd who had retrieved a life did not have any joyful intentions, and their mood was very heavy.
This is only the first beast they encountered after entering the secret realm, there are three people lost in the mouth of the mountain beaver, if not for the mountain beaver’s naughty nature, like to catch prey, I’m afraid that all of them, it would be difficult to escape a fate.
It is foreseeable that the next journey will definitely be more dangerous.
Noticing that the morale was a bit low, Chen Xi opened his mouth and said, ”The route from the Hundred Zhang Forest to the Sand Shelter is still relatively safe, that mountain beaver just now is just an exception, moreover, I have already warned you about the habits of the mountain beaver beforehand, so as long as you follow what I said to do, you won’t be stared at by it.
While that mountain beaver is gone, let us hasten on our way, and I hope you will remember what the purpose of going out on an adventure is.”
After listening to Tatsuki’s words, although the crowd’s emotions were still not high, they were much more revitalized.
Outside of this domain, encountering danger was something that could not be avoided, and if they really had to fall, that would be fate.
When they left the city, they had this realization.
Luckily, under the leadership of Chen Breath, the rest of the journey, did not encounter any other dangers, the map in his hand, which was obtained by countless people after paying the price of their lives, that mountain beaver, seemed to be really just an accident.
Two days later, the group left the Hundred Zhang Forest, and a wide river blocked the way.
The river was so wide that one could not see the edge at a glance, and under the quiet river surface was an unseen crisis.
Chen Xi put away the map, ”This is the Wubu River, there are many water beasts growing in the river, the aggressiveness of these water beasts is even stronger than the ferocious beasts in the Hundred Fathoms Forest.
However, the life of these water beasts is very regular, they hide by day and only act at night, let’s wait for two hours for now and cross the river tomorrow.”
The crowd had no objections, it was naturally better to be able to avoid dealing with the water beasts in the secret realm.
Two hours later, as the sky gradually brightened, Chen Xi got up and took the initiative to fly towards the river.
“We only have one daytime to cross the river, the river is very wide, take out your fastest speed!
Must arrive across the river before dark!” (End of chapter)
