Chapter 999: Wolf in Front, Tiger Behind

Yan He dragged the chain into the miasma ahead.

Under the urging of her magic power, the chain continued to extend and lengthen.

After she walked forward for about two miles, the chain in Song Wen's hand gradually straightened.

Song Wen's mouth curled up slightly, and he looked back. In the depths of the miasma behind him, there stood a vague figure.

His figure flashed and disappeared on the spot.

Song Wen followed the direction of the chain and walked through the mountains.

The overall terrain around was gradually getting lower.

After walking forward for about hundreds of miles, the chain in his hand suddenly pulled forward.

This was the signal set by Yan He for Song Wen to go and meet her as soon as possible.

Song Wen stared at the chain for a moment, and his speed suddenly increased. He rushed forward and soon saw Yan He.

At this time, Yan He was standing next to a huge pit.

The pit was thousands of feet wide and hundreds of feet deep, as if it was left after destroying a mountain. There was a lot of dirt and stones scattered around, and the traces were very new.

Obviously, this big pit was just formed.

There was still a clear smell of demons in the pit.

"This big pit must have been caused by the attack of a demon beast. Judging from the remaining smell, the demon beast is very powerful, and it is likely to be a fifth-level or even more powerful demon beast. It seems to be chasing a prey and should have just left."

Yan He told her analysis slowly, with a worried look on her face. Then, she continued to ask.

"Gou Jun, what should we do now?"

Song Wen looked at the miasma in front of him, his eyes sharp.

"Follow the route map and keep moving forward."

Yan He frowned, with a puzzled look on his face.

"Keep going! What if we run into a monster? Wouldn't we be courting death?"

Song Wen said, "Based on this big pit, you and I can't guess where the monster is going. In this case, why bother yourself? Instead of hesitating, it's better to continue moving forward according to the original plan."

Yan He said, "Okay, then do as you say."

After that, she took off into the air and flew directly over the big pit.

The two of them went forward for dozens of miles.

Suddenly, there was a deafening roar in front.

Song Wen immediately stopped the escape light.

Yan He, who was exploring the way ahead, also quickly retreated and came to Song Wen's side.

"Gou Jun, the place of the battle should not be far away, at most about a hundred miles. What should you and I do?"

"Retreat! Retreat to the big pit just now and hide in the big pit. The big pit has the remaining breath of the monster, and other monsters should not approach easily. Wait for three or five days, and then you and I will leave." Song Wen said.

With that, Song Wen turned and flew back.

He originally wanted to use Yan He to explore the way and finish the last one or two thousand miles of the mountain range as soon as possible.

However, now there are monsters blocking the way, so they can only avoid the sharp edge temporarily.

Yan He hesitated for a moment and followed Song Wen.

The two had just walked less than a few miles when suddenly a group of palm-sized poisonous moths flew towards the direction where they were.

"It's a scab moth! Run away!" Yan He's expression changed and she exclaimed.

Before she finished speaking, she immediately turned around and rushed towards the direction where the roar came from before like an arrow from a bow.

Song Wen looked puzzled, but he still chased Yan He.

"Daoyou Yan He, it's just a group of low-level poisonous moths, why are you so panicked?" Song Wen asked.

Yan He said, "Scabby moths are parasitic poisonous insects that live on huge monsters. Wherever they appear, there must be powerful monsters nearby."

Scabby moths are very slow, and the two soon left them behind.

However, just after they flew a few miles, they saw a ghost-headed guillotine about ten feet long and two feet wide, shooting towards them.

Behind the guillotine, there was a figure following closely.

The person coming was Wei Qian.

At this time, Wei Qian's muscles were like a coiled dragon, bulging; his whole body swelled several times, appearing more sturdy and strong; his blood was like boiling magma, exuding a violent and dangerous aura.

However, he did not come to Song Wen and Yan He on his own initiative, but was hit hard, and was blown away by a huge force with the knife.

Song Wen and Yan He's eyes flashed with horror.

Wei Qian obviously encountered a strong enemy.

At this moment, a beast roared from behind the two.

"Moo——"

A giant monster shaped like a wild bull came running wildly.

The monster was hundreds of feet tall, and when its four hooves flew, it caused the earth to tremble and the mountains to shake.

Song Wen immediately recognized the monster, whose name was 'Earth Barbarian Bull', a monster with an extremely strong body.

The fur of the Earth Barbarian Bull was as hard as a rock, and its defense was amazing.

Although the Earth Barbarian Bull in front of him was only at the late fifth stage, if he wanted to kill it, he would probably need a cultivator in the sixth realm of the Void Refining Stage to make a move to have full confidence.

"Escape separately!" Song Wen shouted, and his figure suddenly rushed to the left.

In this situation, Yan He was no longer useful to Song Wen. The two of them together might attract more attention from the monster.

Seeing this, Yan He hurriedly rushed to the right.

Wei Qian also noticed Song Wen and Yan He, as well as the Earth Barbarian Bull running wildly.

A flash of panic flashed in his eyes.

He was originally blown away by a blood-eyed giant ape with one punch.

The blood-eyed giant ape was as big as a mountain and had infinite strength. Its full-strength punch could split mountains and crack the earth. If Wei Qian had not had a strong body and a large ghost-head guillotine to protect him, he would have died under the blood-eyed giant ape's punch and been shattered to pieces.

Wei Qian was now fully mobilizing his mana, trying to dissolve the tremendous force left in him by the blood-eyed giant ape's punch.

However, the mana in his body was extremely chaotic, like a raging wave, surging around, making it difficult for him to control it for a while.

The Earth Barbarian Bull noticed the presence of Song Wen, Wei Qian, and Yan He at the same time, but its huge eyes were locked on Wei Qian.

Wei Qian's body was full of blood and energy, which was extremely vigorous; for monsters that like to eat flesh and blood, it was undoubtedly the best blood food.

The Earth Barbarian Bull exerted force on its four hooves, and its huge body suddenly rose from the ground, opened its bloody mouth, and swallowed Wei Qian.

Wei Qian's expression became extremely panicked. As the Earth Barbarian Bull got closer and closer, he could already smell the strong fishy smell emanating from its mouth and nose.

At this critical moment, Wei Qian finally regained control of the mana in his body.

With a thought, the ghost-head guillotine turned around and slashed towards the eyes of the Earth Bull.

At the same time, Wei Qian's body was back under control.

He twisted his body and fell rapidly towards the ground below.

With a "clang" sound.

The Earth Bull gently twisted its head and used its horns to block the ghost-head guillotine.

Then, its body also fell violently downwards, chasing Wei Qian closely.
