What If I Can't Die? - Chapter 578
578 Great Roc (1)
“You’re not small.”
Song Shi teased and deliberately glanced at Du Ming’e’s chest.
The latter’s waist was slender and gentle, with moving curves that moved up her abdomen. Her chest was bulging and was quite bountiful. Otherwise, she would not have fallen facedown in the pool water.
“To think Brother Song is actually a wretched person. I didn’t know about it previously. It seems that you really can’t judge a book by its cover.”
Du Ming’e scolded Song Shi with a smile. Her eyes were bright and carried a unique charm.
“I’m just telling the truth.”
At this point, Song Shi suddenly sensed something and looked up at the horizon.
A golden dot of light flickered, and then the sound of wind and lightning surged over with an ear-piercing cry.
Ripples appeared in the void, and the ascenders who were still talking screamed. Many of them were directly shaken until they bled from their seven orifices and lost their hearing.
This was not much. The key was that the golden light spot approached at a terrifying speed. Its head quickly expanded and turned into a huge bird with a terrifying aura in the blink of an eye.
This bird was covered in golden feathers and was incomparably handsome. It was the true appearance of the golden light spot. At this moment, it seemed a little terrifying because when the bird’s wings spread out, they were actually a thousand miles long and were larger than any cloud.
Such a huge creature was shining with golden light. Just the aura it emitted made all the ascenders feel like ants facing a big bird. They had the thought that they could only be treated as food.
“This is… a Great Roc?”
Song Shi swallowed his saliva. The other party looked like a roc, but this was the first time he had seen such a huge roc. It was very difficult for a mountain to be this big!
Not to mention him, all the guys who saw the situation of the light spots were stunned to the extreme. Then, they revealed terrified expressions.
RUMBLE!
Just the wind brought about by flying caused the grass within a radius of 5,000 kilometers to sway. The towering trees that he had previously thought to be tall were now pressed to the ground like grass.
A terrifying pressure descended, making it difficult for Song Shi to move. His mind trembled as if he should stay where he was and become food.
“The Ancient Great Roc is too terrifying!”
“It’s coming towards us. Hide!”
“Why is there such a terrifying existence here? Its strength is probably something that even immortals cannot deal with casually.”
The group of people was originally investigating the nearby situation, but in the end, they were frightened out of their wits by this Great Roc. They could only look for an opportunity to dodge in panic. They did not want to die under the claws of a ferocious bird whose strength far exceeded theirs.
The ascenders who had come back to their senses fled in panic. Some directly burrowed into the ground, while others stuck to the ground and ran quickly. However, none of them dared to fly. They all tried their best to avoid this terrifying thing.
Song Shi looked at the existence that was descending from the sky. In his shock, he formed a seal and mobilized his Dharma Power. If he could use spells, he would directly burrow into the soil and escape without sticking to the ground. Even if he was underground, he would try his best to hide his aura.
Seeing his actions, Du Ming’e braced herself and did the same.
As for those fleeing on the ground, they were quickly blown up by the even more terrifying hurricane brought by the Great Roc. Then, the bird sucked and those who had lost their support flew towards the bird’s mouth.
They used all kinds of methods, but it was useless under this suction force. The entire world was enveloped by the power of the Great Roc and was suppressed like a domain.
“No, don’t eat me!”
“I haven’t completely become an immortal yet. I don’t want to die!”
“I don’t have much meat. It’s not delicious!”
Some of the guys who couldn’t escape collapsed. Under such circumstances, they couldn’t control their fear and screamed weakly.
Unfortunately, in front of the huge Great Roc, these were just ordinary food. Why would they care?
With a ferocious aura, he opened his mouth and sucked. Immediately, sand and rocks flew everywhere and no less than a hundred ascenders were swallowed.
At this moment, it was the safest to hide underground.
Although the wind brought about by the Great Roc broke some ten thousand-foot-tall trees and sent rocks dozens of feet tall flying, those deeper underground could still protect themselves.
Song Shi had already fused into the soil and was deep underground. He could feel a strong ferocious aura even through the soil.
He muttered, “Why is it such a ferocious attack?”
“Why aren’t you in a hurry?”
The soil squirmed. Du Ming’e, who was beside him, approached Song Shi. “This Great Roc’s strength far exceeds ours. If it’s caught, it’ll die.”
“Indeed, in its eyes, we’re no different from insects.”
Song Shi nodded. “But it’s useless to be anxious. Could it be that it will continue like this? I think as long as we hide for a long time, we should be able to avoid this wave of attacks.”
As soon as he said that, the ground rumbled and a claw easily carved out several canyon-like passageways.
A guy who was hiding underground was immediately pulled out. He was badly mutilated after being touched. Those who were still alive were stunned by this change.
“It actually slapped my face on the spot. Looks like this thing is targeting us. It’s digging now.”
The sound of a huge claw cutting through the ground echoed in Song Shi’s ears as if it was splitting the sky and earth. From time to time, unlucky people would be pulled out and eaten or turned into meat paste on the spot.
This time, Du Ming’e was also nervous. If she was caught by this big bird, she would definitely die.
“Keep going underground.”
Song Shi’s expression was calm and he was not frightened.
If not for the fact that he was in an illusion and there were a bunch of guys watching, he probably would not have bothered to do much. In any case, this thing could not kill him.
It was not only them. The other people who had chosen to burrow into the ground to avoid the Great Roc were all desperately burrowing deeper.
However, its speed underground was very slow, and the Great Roc’s casual grab was hundreds of thousands of feet deep. It could not reach the depths that the Great Roc could not reach for a while.
This way, whether he would be pulled out would purely depend on luck.
Du Ming’e broke out in cold sweat nervously. However, when she saw that Song Shi’s expression remained unchanged, she said in surprise, “Aren’t you nervous?”
“Why are you so nervous about the illusion? There are hundreds of ascenders. The probability of catching us underground is less than 1%. Even if we are captured and eaten, we won’t die.”
Song Shi smiled faintly.
“You actually realized that this is an illusion?”
Du Ming’e was shocked. “How did you discover it? I feel that it’s about the same as normal.”
“It’s purely speculation. Do you think it’s necessary to die in a blockbuster just because of a test?”
Song Shi retorted.
Du Ming’e was stunned for a moment. That was indeed the case. She had not had the time to think too much before encountering the Great Roc and had yet to recover.
“Next, do you think we’ll be lucky and escape or unlucky and get caught?” Song Shi asked.
Crack! Crack!
As soon as he finished speaking, the soil beside them was scratched by a sharp claw. It was clearly deep underground, but this claw actually felt like a fish in water.
“What a powerful force!”
Compared to his burrowing speed, even if Song Shi used spells and divine powers, he could not compare to the other party’s casual grab.
“It’s too powerful. What’s the strength of this thing…”
Thinking to himself, he rolled his eyes. “Let’s go to the place it grabbed. I bet it won’t grab the same place.”
He burrowed horizontally and quickly entered the ground that had been cut by the sharp claws. The soil here was soft. If he fused with it, his speed would be much faster.
Du Ming’e hesitated for a moment but still chose to follow. Just as she left, a sharp and huge claw slashed across the area where they were. The power contained in it could easily crush her body, scaring her so much that her face turned pale.
