Chapter 185: The Black Fire Frenzy
In the darkness, the shape of the creature was unclear, with only those three eerie green eyes staring intently at Lu Chen. At that moment, Lu Chen instinctively thought of Ah Tu; on some deep nights in the past, Ah Tu’s eyes had also emitted a similar ghostly glow.
But they were different!
Lu Chen quickly made this judgment. Although Ah Tu’s eyes had a greenish glow, the light was clean and bright. Seeing them in the dark might give a sense of eeriness, but one could still perceive emotional changes, a sense of life. In contrast, the three green eyes before him burned with a fierce green flame, filled with a brutal and murderous aura, as if solely intent on killing.
For some reason, Lu Chen felt a sense of relief upon realizing this, then quickly grew serious, frowning as he looked at the strange creature that had suddenly appeared from the night.
This thing was clearly not benevolent. Just the violent aura it exuded from the darkness was enough for him to categorize it among the most vicious creatures he had ever encountered. Most of the similar things he had seen were in the most dangerous regions of this vast land, specifically deep within the Chaos Lands.
But this place was clearly Kunlun Mountain, Western Lands’ Spiritual Mountain, the foundation of the Kunlun Sect. How could such a fierce monster exist here?
These questions flashed through Lu Chen’s mind, but he didn’t dwell on them. After a brief standoff, the strange creature seemed unable to restrain its hunger for flesh, letting out a piercing shriek before charging at him.
The sharp sound of it breaking through the air was akin to an arrow leaving a bow, instantly closing the distance. As the creature moved, Lu Chen glimpsed its form: a small, snake-like bug, about the length of half an arm and as thick as a thumb, with a grotesque head the size of a fist. The most noticeable and terrifying feature was the three green eyes on top of its head.
The creature charged forward with the sound of wind and darkness. Lu Chen’s expression darkened as he stepped back, drawing his black short sword with his right hand and slashing down.
