Chapter 1311 - 1306: The Giant Monster
After helping Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei deal with those people, Lin Chuan had to go to Bright Moon Palace to find Murong Xue.
He had been away from her for a few days, and didn't know what the situation was with Murong Xue at Bright Moon Palace.
Of course, Zheng Xiuzhi and Jin Leilei didn't want Lin Chuan to leave, but Lin Chuan was determined to go, leaving the two women quite heartbroken.
After figuring out the location of Bright Moon Palace, Lin Chuan rode the thousand-mile steed toward it. The Sky-reaching Halberd was of no use to him anymore, as he had Blue Amber in hand.
So he handed the Sky-reaching Halberd to Zheng Xiuzhi, and taught her some techniques for using it.
Upon arriving in the vicinity of Bright Moon Palace again, Lin Chuan found a spot nearby, letting the thousand-mile steed graze on its own while he quickly headed towards Bright Moon Palace.
Bright Moon Palace, after all, was a sect of some fame, and its architecture was quite grand.
Moving swiftly along the wall, Lin Chuan entered a large hall. This hall was very tall, and on the ground was a giant carving, resembling a flower pot. A woman was sleeping leaning against the edge of the flower pot, with a divine-looking bow placed beside her.
The hall was very quiet, not even a shadow of a ghost.
Suddenly, a deafening sound came through. Lin Chuan looked up, at the entrance ahead there was a shadow growing larger, this fellow was coming here, what was it?
It was too oppressive, seeing the shadow enlarging, like a giant fear spreading. Lin Chuan quickly hid in the corner.
A massive monster walked in, looking almost as big as a dinosaur. After entering, the monster could surprisingly walk upright, holding a scimitar in its hand.
Then, the monster tossed the scimitar away and sat down heavily, was it here to rest?
How could there be such a monster here, Lin Chuan really couldn't figure it out. But since the monster appeared, was Xiao Xue in danger, where was she now?
Monsters need rest too, but it was Lin Chuan's first time seeing one needing rest, this guy was clearly cunning, knowing to run here, eyes met, the giant monster was about to get up, mouth opening to shout. Lin Chuan couldn't let it make a sound.
Then with a charge forward, Lin Chuan felt his right leg numb, showing the intense energy used, Blue Amber was extraordinarily steady, just as the giant monster was about to shout, it directly pierced through its mouth, the front half of Blue Amber already appearing behind the giant monster's head. What a beautiful assassination, like the Eight Route Army sneaking up on the enemy's fort under cover of night, equally thrilling.
Saying it and doing it, Lin Chuan slowly approached the doorway, glancing around under the reflection of light. Luckily, he was thorough, unexpectedly seeing another giant monster opposite the door, similar to the previous one, actually tossing its weapon aside and leaning against the wall to sleep.
Great, Lin Chuan extended Blue Amber towards it slowly, without disturbing it while situating the sword on its slender neck. This process was very slow, Lin Chuan's heart was gripped with tension, though this was adventurous, it was also a huge temptation.
The giant monster slept soundly, not realizing death was near. Lin Chuan gripped the hilt tightly, gritted his teeth, and sliced across its neck. The slender neck couldn't resist Blue Amber's sharpness, feeling a moment of resistance before heavy things fell.
The giant monster's head had fallen to the ground, making quite a noise, Lin Chuan hurriedly retreated to the corner of the outer hall, pressing his ear to the wall, listening for movement. It was silent here, any stirring could be detected.
Eventually, only the sound just now was heard, no other sound. The giant monster was dead beyond recovery, so he didn't need to worry, he waited a while, about ten minutes later, before moving again.
The giant monster had disappeared, Lin Chuan stuck to the wall and came to the corner. There was a giant pillar here, hiding in its shadow while observing the entire hall.
Lin Chuan moved again, surveying the area thoroughly. The hall had four doors around it, should be a central hall, with four side halls next to it. As expected, passing by the door, he saw a smaller side hall, with a group of giant monsters resting here. Each leaned against the wall asleep, not too many, there were six visible.
Damn, it seemed Bright Moon Palace was indeed in trouble, occupied by these strange monsters.
Where did these monsters come from, where were Murong Xue and the Bright Moon Palace people, these questions troubled Lin Chuan. But to unravel these mysteries, he had to deal with the monsters first.
Should he take a risk, seeing another window over there, perhaps later he would go over. If these guys, as well as the central hall's monsters, were alarmed, he'd just jump out that window and escape, thinking this, Lin Chuan scanned the surroundings, spotting a clearing nearby.
Lin Chuan slowly moved his body, found a good foothold, being exceedingly cautious not to alarm the sleeping ones. Of course, speedily approaching the nearest giant monster, Blue Amber again horizontal in his hand, he was seasoned this time, preparing to grab its head.
Blue Amber sank, then his left hand grabbed, directly taking back the giant monster's head, truly disgusting, blue blood stained his hand. But there was no time to be grossed out, it was rather thrilling, this method could deal with these guys.
He used the same method on the second one, but this time the speed was too fast, resulting in his left hand grabbing an empty space, making Lin Chuan's heart suddenly jump.
The giant monster's head also fell directly, in this spacious and quiet place, the sound was particularly jarring, even alerting the other giant monsters.
The giant monster in front opened its eyes, still drowsy, but quickly saw Lin Chuan, who rapidly approached, stabbing with Blue Amber before it could rise. He felt like a brute, craving the feeling of penetrative stabbing, this time piercing through its rear brain.
"Ni Ao!" The other three giant monsters cried out, grabbing weapons, having no good feelings toward this secret intruder, charging ferociously.
Lin Chuan truly feared they'd scatter, if so, they'd really attract the central hall's monsters.
Without charging, Lin Chuan stepped forward, Blue Amber confronting scimitars, the giant monster's strength was weak, coupled with his enhanced force halo, he utterly defeated it.
The scimitar flew off, Lin Chuan stepped forward again, Blue Amber slashing its neck, this assassin's feeling was indeed nice, ending the opponent's life swiftly, the giant monster's head this time didn't fall due to an angled neck, causing it not to fully detach, and it finally collapsed.
The other two giant monsters already charged with red eyes, their scimitars hacking toward him, but it was just a shadow. The real body had dashed out, quickly returning, directly bumping a giant monster away.
This time the commotion was truly too great, Lin Chuan felt some regret, actually, finding a suitable spot could easily kill the opponent.
"Damn giant monsters, if you make noise again, I'll kill you to make soup." A sharp voice suddenly rang outside, cursing, mistaking the situation here.
Lin Chuan listened, feeling his heart bloom with joy, there wasn't a moment to lose.
The lone giant monster's eyes turned, without another word, fled towards the door, terrified, wanting to leave, other people were outside, just escape this side hall and it would be safe. However, the pursuing assassin's speed was beyond its imagination, just while reaching the door, Blue Amber's half pierced through its body. This time Lin Chuan adjusted his speed, not crashing directly, the sound like popping a worn canvas bag.
Silence returned to the surroundings, the giant monsters had become corpses.
No gold splendor, no people, only severed limbs, like a slaughterhouse, at this point he also saw in the corner a faintly blue beastly monster, taller than a beast, already grown a pair of horns, a terrifying abomination.
A gory room, but when the monster opened its mouth, even thicker blood reek, suggesting it devoured countless people.
Lin Chuan hurriedly avoided, then charged, unexpectedly its defense was so strong, though a sword pierced its body, only a wound remained. Amazingly, it still had red blood, truly a curiosity, yet it remained a brute, a people-eating creature.
The brute apparently didn't intend to call out, or seeing this frail human opposite, didn't know how many it had eaten. Thus, it directly leaped forth, maw opened wide, splattering shredded flesh onto Lin Chuan, utterly disgusting.
Unexpectedly, Lin Chuan's back chilled, finding himself slammed against a pillar, retreating without a path, facing the monster's gore-filled maw, widened tremendously, able to swallow half of him, the monster was pleased, seeming about to taste fresh human.
