Chapter 568 - 564: The Mysterious Primal Beast
Su Muyao quickly regained her composure and said, "I’m fine."
As she spoke, she propped herself up to get up, but when her fingers touched the ground, she suddenly felt a soft sensation.
Su Muyao looked down and saw that she had fallen into a patch of grass, with a pile of grass beneath her.
It was black grass, and when touched, it emitted black mist.
However, Su Muyao was sure it wasn’t poisonous, and the leaves felt as delicate as silk.
"This is a grass patch, but what kind of grass is this?"
She had never seen anything like it before.
These grasses occupied a large area of ground.
The system apparently saw them too, and it seemed to sense something, saying, "These should be Demon Heart Grass native to the Demon Realm, how could they be here?"
"But fortunately, with these Demon Heart Grasses cushioning you, you weren’t hurt."
These Demon Heart Grasses were thick throughout, with black mist, seemingly holding her up.
Su Muyao realized this and was quite surprised.
Could it be that these plants have spiritual energy and consciousness?
No, that’s impossible. How can plants have consciousness?
Su Muyao shook her head, refusing to entertain such thoughts.
Unbeknownst to Su Muyao, when she fell, a dark mark appeared on her collarbone, it belonged to Xie Guixue.
The roots of the Demon Heart Grass spontaneously extended, emitting a vortex of black mist to hold the falling Su Muyao up.
Not letting her get hurt.
Even the system didn’t notice this.
Because when they were engulfed by the vortex, the force was so strong that Su Muyao nearly fainted.
The system naturally couldn’t notice the surrounding situation.
Su Muyao stood up and surveyed her surroundings, only to finally realize she was in a spacious palace-like ice cave.
The cave walls were covered with thin ice, with ice crystals hanging down like crystal drapes, refracting a faint light from an unknown source, illuminating the entire space.
What shocked her the most were the stone pillars hanging from the ceiling.
Their colors were different, as if made from three different materials.
They emitted different energies.
"System, the stone pillars are emitting energy, that blue pillar should be formed from Spirit Stones, right?"
Su Muyao wanted to reach out and touch it, but the height of the stone pillar made it difficult to reach.
Su Muyao used her superpower to leap up and touch the Spirit Stone, instantly a vast power surged into her body.
The overwhelming power startled Su Muyao, and the pillar vibrated, causing the ground to tremble, and Su Muyao quickly withdrew her hand.
"It really is a Spirit Stone pillar."
"Then could the one beside it be the Black Demon Stone Pillar?"
The pillar next to it was ink-black as if dipped in black, resembling a Black Demon Stone Pillar.
Not even close yet, one could feel the cold emanating from it, and upon closer inspection, black mist seemed to flow within the stone’s veins.
The system said, "It should be."
"Then what’s the red pillar?"
Su Muyao had never seen such a red pillar.
This red pillar reflected a red sheen, eerie like blood, appearing to be a Blood Stone, with blood beads seemingly rolling inside, emitting a faint blood scent.
This time the system seemed to sense something and exclaimed, "Host, that’s a Bloodthirsty Stone."
The system murmured, "Black Demon Stone as the base, Blood Stone gathers energy, Spirit Stone nurtures spirit... this place is certainly not naturally formed."
"It’s like an ancient place."
"Otherwise, these three energies couldn’t coexist in one place."
"Don’t touch these things rashly for now, go check elsewhere to see if there’s anything else to discover."
Su Muyao nodded, "Okay."
After getting up, she looked around, the space was vast, with different passages alongside.
She wasn’t sure which passage to take at the moment.
Suddenly, she felt a tremor in her heart, and a stronger summoning force from it.
She looked towards a particular passage, walking into it without hesitation.
"Host, I feel there’s something off about the energy in this passage, are you sure about going in?"
"Yes, I feel there’s some force summoning me, I’ll go and see."
"I have to figure out what’s going on, and why I ended up here."
There’s always a reason.
"Host, be careful."
"I know."
Su Muyao walked along the passage, with a slight chill emanating from within.
After a few steps, the system exclaimed, "Host, look at the left wall."
Following the system’s prompt, Su Muyao looked over and saw robust vines embedded in the left wall.
As if they were sealed within.
Not only vines but also some peculiar flowers and plants below.
Like these plants were sealed in the stone wall.
When Su Muyao reached to touch them, she felt a flow of energy with a golden sheen.
This force seemed immensely powerful.
"What is this?"
The system said, "Maybe they are ancient spirit plants."
"Look at those flowers and vines, they’re not like ones we usually see, very strange."
Su Muyao said, "Everything here is strange, better to be cautious."
She glanced at the right wall, where similar vines and spirit plants were also sealed.
Not understanding it, they stopped thinking too much, Su Muyao continued forward.
At the end of the passage was a stone door.
On the stone door was an engraved beast pattern.
This beast form was something Su Muyao had never seen before, yet it felt inexplicably familiar.
"What beast is this?"
The system shook its head, "I don’t know either."
"From what I know, there’s no such beast in the Beast World, or rather it should be some beastman’s form, yet I’ve never seen it."
"I really don’t understand."
Su Muyao scrutinized the beast pattern, resembling a lion-leopard, with blood-red eyes, cyan body, with wings, claws sharp as blades.
Upon seeing the sharp claws below, Su Muyao’s heart trembled, her scalp tingling.
"System, why do I feel these claws enlarged, like the giant claw that tore the void during the Destruction Tribulation a hundred thousand years ago."
Enlarging these claws, they looked just too similar.
Su Muyao momentarily lost her breath, feeling like struck by lightning, forgetting to react, to breathe.
In her mind, a voice seemed to pierce through the fog, ringing in her mind.
"Chaos Wild Beastman!"
She murmured, "This is the Chaos Wild Beastman’s true form."
The system said, "I’ve never heard of such a beastman, they don’t even exist in the Beast World, Host, how did you know."
"I don’t know why I know, it’s like a voice in my mind told me, that’s who he is."
As she spoke, she seemed to drift out of her senses, her gaze dazed.
Before the system could react, she had already moved forward, cutting her hand and smearing blood on the Chaos Wild Beast’s eyes on the stone door.
That eye seemed to emit a light, and immediately the stone door rumbled and opened.
