As the Universe Turns - Chapter 406
Chapter 406 Alien Nest
“What’s coming …”
Luo Die’s face was deathly pale. Her heart jumped. She leaned against Xiao Chen and did not dare to move. Xiao Chen slowly drew out a long sword. However, under the moonlight, the cold light of the sword was a killing sword.
Finally, the shadow in front of him appeared. There were about a hundred people. However, when these people approached, Luo Die’s entire body trembled from fear.
All of them were extremely ugly, like monsters. Some of them had horns, some had fangs on their faces, and some had eyes in the middle of their faces. They looked extremely terrifying.
“Good … What a beautiful woman … Hehe, hehe …”
All of a sudden, those eccentric people laughed at Luo Die infatuatedly. They didn’t know what kind of liquid was flowing in their mouths, and they looked both disgusting and terrifying.
Xiao Chen tightly gripped the sword in his hand. He could clearly see that the teeth of these people were still stained with flesh and blood. He thought that they had just eaten, but what was the food? Perhaps they were humans.
“These are outsiders, mutated by the turbid aura of the Fiendgods …”
As Luo Die spoke, his body involuntarily trembled. These strange people were extremely bloodthirsty. They often used living people as food, tied them up, and cut them one by one. Although their strength was inferior to Tomb of Gods and Demons’s cultivators, their strength was boundless, and they were not afraid of pain.
What was even more terrifying was that their numbers were often large. Since there were over a hundred outsiders here, there must be more outsiders nearby.
“Hehe … Hehe, what a beautiful woman …”
Those strange people, Xiao Chen slowly approached Xiao Chen and Luo Die. Xiao Chen tightly gripped the sword in his hand. If he was at his peak, it would naturally be easy to deal with these outsiders. However, at this moment, he was injured and his cultivation was unable to be raised. Once he was surrounded by these outsiders, the consequences would be very serious. Perhaps, these people would tear him apart like wild beasts.
Seeing that these outsiders had already slowly surrounded them, the two people in front of them directly pounced towards Luo Die. Xiao Chen immediately made a decision. He pulled Luo Die with his left hand and handed her a sword with his right hand. With a “chi” sound, blood splashed everywhere, immediately knocking the two outsiders back.
When the other outsiders saw that their companions were injured, they immediately became fierce. Their eyes were bloodshot as they ferociously pounced towards Xiao Chen and Luo Die.
In a hurry, Xiao Chen could only use the Jade Flute Sword Technique. One sword and one sword continuously broke out of the encirclement. Finally, after a moment, the dark clouds in the sky covered the moon, and the surroundings became pitch black without a single finger. Taking advantage of this opportunity, Xiao Chen swung away the outsiders in front of him and instantly hid with Luo Die in a cave at the bottom of the cliff.
“Shh …”
Xiao Chen immediately made a silent gesture. Luo Die’s heart jumped, her chest constantly rising and falling. Recalling the horrible scene just now, she was still shocked. Those mutants were angry. If they landed in the hands of these monsters, they would tear her apart.
“Ah–”
Above the cliff, the strange people suddenly let out a howl like a wolf. It was obvious that they were calling for their companions to rush over. Soon, the entire land on the cliff began to tremble. Perhaps tens of thousands of strange people were heading this way.
“What should we do …”
Luo Die’s face was deathly pale and her heartbeat was getting more and more intense. Xiao Chen glanced at her and made another silent gesture. He sent a secret message, “Calm down first … Aren’t you the valley master of the Life and Death Alliance? Could it be that you can’t calm down at all if something happens to you …”
“Cold … calm down.”
Luo Die stared blankly at him. He was the Valley Master of Myriad Butterflies Valley, and he had never seen any storms in the past. However … after all, it was an Earth Realm, so how could it be compared to a Heaven Realm? Not to mention, it was still an ancient forbidden land … Tomb of Gods and Demons.
“How many of these outsiders are there?”
“I… I don’t know either.”
Luo Die shook her head and slowly calmed down. She looked at him and said, “However, they should only come out at night. When dawn comes, they will return to their nest …”
“You seem to be very familiar with this place.”
“I…”
Luo Die was stunned by what he said. She raised her head to look at him and shook her head in the end, “I only heard about it.” At the end of his sentence, he let out an inaudible sigh. Even if he managed to escape the pursuit of these strange people tonight, how would he leave this place in the future?
What she was most worried about right now was that the people of Tomb of Gods and Demons already knew that they had entered. There was no way they could hide anything from Tomb of Gods and Demons, big or small.
That time, Xiao Chen snatched the Fusang Flower from Yang Valley, killed the emissary of Immortal Alliance, Prince Yun Tianzi, and was chased after by Immortal Alliance. This matter was known to the entire Oriental Cultivation World. How could the people in Tomb of Gods and Demons not know about it? I’m afraid it won’t be easy to walk the rest of the way.
Finally, when it was dawn, the top gradually quieted down. The strange people searched for a night, but they were unable to find the cliff cave they were in.
After that night, the injuries on the two of them also recovered a little. In order to avoid alarming these strange people again, Xiao Chen did not dare to rashly use his divine sense to search. When the upper echelons completely calmed down, he made a silent gesture to Luo Die and said in secret, “I’ll go up and take a look first. Don’t come out from below.”
“Mm …”
Luo Die nodded and looked at him nervously, “Be careful.”
Xiao Chen no longer hesitated. He lightly tapped his feet and went to the top of the cliff. Then, he hid behind a huge boulder and looked around. After a while, there was no trace of the strange person. Then, he sent a divine message to Luo Die below, “They’re gone … You can come up.”
Luo Die gently flew up and landed beside him. She carefully looked into the distance and saw no trace of an outsider. Only then did she breathe a sigh of relief. She looked at him with a serious expression and said, “We might have landed in the outsider’s nest …”
At this point, she calculated with her fingers, and her expression became even more solemn. “In two days, it will be a full moon night. At that time, all the outsiders will come out and become extremely bloodthirsty. We must pass through this place before dark tonight.”
Xiao Chen looked at her. He didn’t know why she knew Tomb of Gods and Demons so well, but seeing that she didn’t seem to be joking at the moment, he immediately nodded and the two of them carefully walked forward.
Along the way, he saw countless caves. Inside those caves, there were occasional loud snoring sounds. Clearly, it was those strange people who were sleeping inside.
At the edge of the cave entrance, many human bones could be seen. Some were buried in the ground, while others were casually thrown out. It seemed that quite a few people had become food for these strange people.
“Shh …”
After passing through a large cave, Xiao Chen made a silent gesture. In order not to wake up these sleeping strangers, the two of them could only carefully and slowly pass through.
By nightfall, The two of them finally passed through this vast alien nest. Actually, Otherworldly Demons were often located in barren places in Tomb of Gods and Demons. Not only did they not have any spiritual energy, they were also frequently infected by Gas of Gods and Demons. As for those places that were rich in cultivation resources, they had long been occupied by the cultivators inside. In order to go to a better place, some people even gave their wives and daughters to others.
At this moment, the night gradually darkened. The two of them finally left the alien nest. Xiao Chen saw that Luo Die had lost her mind along the way and asked, “What happened to you?”
