Chapter 618 - 614: Demon Beast
The steward doubted her own eyes, but rubbed them vigorously and took a closer look, realizing she was not mistaken.
Liu Mengyan’s Life Token was indeed breaking, the cracks were unmistakably clear, though it hadn’t yet fragmented and fallen on the table.
He murmured to himself, unable to believe it, "How is it possible, how could Liu Mengyan die?"
"She’s a Seven-star Spider Beastman."
"Could her mission have failed?"
The steward naturally understood what being a Seven-star Spider Beastman meant, it meant seven lives.
It was precisely because of this that she was selected and trained by the tribe, sent out on a mission through great effort by the tribe.
Because even if she failed the mission once, she had more lives to continue executing her mission, and wouldn’t die easily.
Moreover, she could be sent outside the barrier of the Nine Nether Forbidden Land without sacrificing tribe members.
The steward realized the importance of this matter and hurriedly reported it to the Clan Leader.
However, the Spider Clan Leader was not in the clan, the steward’s report was received by an Elder.
The Fourth Elder, upon receiving the news, hurried to the coast of the Endless Sea immediately.
If possible, the Fourth Elder would not want to come here.
The waves of the Endless Sea were too fierce, the salty and fishy sea breeze swept massive waves against the dark and rugged rocks, even the air seemed to have a pungent smell.
The sea wind kept howling.
The surrounding atmosphere was also filled with intense moisture.
Even a single breath made them extremely uncomfortable.
The tribal leaders of each Insect Clan brought elders and elites to kill the demon beasts in the Endless Sea.
"No one can retreat, the seal power of the barrier has been significantly weakened, the demon bones of the demon beasts in the Endless Sea contain spirit, and the demon blood holds malice. Only by using them as guidance can we tear open a breach in the barrier and send our tribe members out."
"Thus, we will no longer be trapped by this barrier, we Insect Clan can kill our way out, we can take back everything that belongs to us."
The Spider Clan Leader said this to boost everyone’s morale.
Sure enough, upon hearing his words, the fighting spirit for killing the demon beasts in the Endless Sea grew stronger, they disregarded fatigue and injuries, together they began killing the demon beasts in the Endless Sea.
However, these demon beasts were not easy to deal with, even facing just one was not easy.
The surging waves of the Endless Sea were all caused by the demon beasts.
And even just one demon beast was tremendously large, with a daunting figure.
But in order to get out, everyone ignored these concerns.
The Insect Clan had tried countless methods to exit the barrier, now that hope was in sight, they naturally wouldn’t give up.
The tribes of the Insect Clan cooperated with one another.
The Spider Clan Leader silently used spider silk to explore the sea.
"Here it comes, prepare the formation."
Just as the words fell, the sea surface of the Endless Sea suddenly surged, from the black waves, a huge figure leapt out.
It was an entirely black demon beast like a mountain, its back covered with sharp spikes, its pupils an eerie blood-red, locking onto these Insect Clan Beastmen, then charged with an earth-destroying momentum.
This battle was extremely fierce, with the situation becoming more intense, but under the cooperation of the formation, that demon beast was still trapped, although some Insect Clan Beastmen died, some were seriously injured.
Finally, the demon beast was subdued.
"Haha, very good, rest for a while, continue killing."
At this time, taking advantage of the Clan Leader’s rest, the Fourth Elder hurried up, reporting this matter in a low voice.
The Spider Clan Leader, after listening, changed his expression slightly, calmly said, "I understand, if she’s dead, she’s dead, no need to be too shocked."
"But Clan Leader, her mission failed, will it affect the plan?"
The Clan Leader answered, "It won’t impact us, we have obtained a secret technique that can help our tribe members escape from this place."
"So Liu Mengyan’s role has lessened."
The Fourth Elder whispered, "Clan Leader, is this secret technique really effective?"
The Fourth Elder knew the secret technique came from a Fierce Beast Clan we had never heard of.
That female named Luo Leshuang threw a secret technique into Nine Nether Forbidden Land, detailing how to use the Endless Sea demon beasts’ bone and blood to perform magic to open an exit in the barrier.
But none of us had ever tried it, not knowing if this method would work.
The Clan Leader said, "In the past, we always thought these sea beasts in the Endless Sea were just wild beasts, the scroll mentioned they have already devoured numerous vitality in the Endless Sea, thus have become demon beasts."
"This talk of demon beasts, we Insect Clan have never heard of, but recently we searched for some information and learned that indeed, when the Beast World Heaven and Earth originated, there were demon beasts, they couldn’t transform, like wild beasts, but evolved to a certain extent, some had partial intelligence, some were domesticated as beastmen mounts, some caused disasters, then disappeared from heaven and earth for unknown reasons."
"These wild sea beasts nowadays are demon beasts. Although their appearance and formation are unknown, using their bone and blood to perform secret technique must be effective, else the person wouldn’t bother sending such a scroll over."
The Fourth Elder said, "But that Fierce Beastman, inherently not well-intentioned, impossible to willingly help us, there must be some conspiracy."
The Clan Leader said, "No matter what conspiracy, the most important thing is for our tribe members to get out first."
"Even if the intention is to make us fight against the beastmen from the continent, and reap the benefits, it doesn’t matter."
For the Insect Clan, as long as they can get out first, and take revenge, all this is trivial.
"Before we sent some tribe members out, it was through sacrificing the Great Array, for every few tribe members sent out, countless other tribe members had to be sacrificed."
Even though there were many Insect Clan Beastmen, they couldn’t withstand such a sacrificial method.
It’s still necessary to use demon beast bone and blood.
...
On the other side
Su Muyao and Yue Wuhen walked toward the Great Wilderness.
Because of Su Muyao’s physical condition, Yue Wuhen couldn’t utilize the Shrinking Earth Divine Power to go directly to the Great Wilderness.
Furthermore, such divine skills couldn’t be used all the time, as they consume a lot of Spiritual Power Ability.
Earlier Yue Wuhen used it, but needed to rest for three days in the Qingqiu Mountain Fox Clan to recover.
Therefore, they chose to travel normally.
However, to reach the Great Wilderness, they had to pass through the Xuanyuan Tribe.
Thinking of Yun Qinglan, Su Muyao couldn’t help but worry, planning to check at Xuanyuan Tribe.
At first, she wrote to Yun Qinglan, his reply to the first letter said he was fine and going to seclusion.
Not knowing how Yun Qinglan is now.
Su Muyao wished to visit there, and Yue Wuhen naturally supported her.
"Alright, let’s check it out first."
Only when they arrived outside the Xuanyuan Tribe, they witnessed chaos, numerous beastmen attacking the Xuanyuan Tribe.
Beastmen from the Xuanyuan Tribe lay dead and wounded.
Su Muyao could recognize, some were Spider Beastmen, some were Bright Hall Law Enforcement Disciples, and some wore uniquely patterned clothing.
Su Muyao immediately recognized, they were beastmen from the Sikou Family.
Thinking of the Sikou Family, Su Muyao naturally knew.
The Blood Clan’s demise was linked to Lady Sikou Lin Huirou of the Sikou Family.
Moreover, Lady Sikou came from the Bright Hall.
Although Hall Master Nan Feng of the Bright Hall was gone, lots of Bright Hall’s manpower still existed.
