The Monster is Coming

After walking for an hour, Gu Heng still had some strength left, and Qin Yiyao could still keep up with him.

However, when Gu Heng looked in front of him, he saw a forest that was not very rugged. There were waterfalls and mountain streams next to it. The scenery was pretty good, but for the sake of the little girl, Gu Heng stopped.

He found a large, relatively flat bluestone and sat on it.

"Take a break."

Qin Yiyao was a little confused when she heard him say that, but since her master had already sat down, she followed suit.

Although, she didn't understand why Gu Heng stopped here.

Of course, she wanted to go directly to the ancient secret palace to see what attractive things were inside. As for those monks flying in the sky... she basically didn't take them seriously.

If there is anyone who is more qualified to get the opportunity here.

Qin Yiyao felt that it would only be herself.

But this is indeed a good place to rest.

She leaned against the bluestone and ate the brown sugar cake that Gu Heng had prepared for her.

Less than a quarter of an hour after resting, Gu Heng suddenly felt the ground shaking slightly... but the vibration soon disappeared.

He scratched his head, not knowing what was going on, but looking at Qin Yiyao, she seemed impatient to continue on her journey, so they continued to go deeper. If they wanted to get there before lunch time, they had to work harder now.

Half an hour after the master and disciple walked out.

In the sky, three young monks flying low in flying instruments stopped here.

"...Yes, this is it."

One of them nodded, and then the other took out a fluttering white flag and stuck it into the soil. On the flag was written "There is a monster threatening this place, all mortals must retreat."

"Okay, that's enough."

The leading young monk was quite impatient.

He really didn't understand why those big shots at the top were so concerned about the lives of human beings and had to erect so many warning flags around this ancient secret palace.

Of course, the so-called "demon beast" is naturally fake.

It is impossible for there to be any monsters in these ancient crocodile mountains. Since the ancient secret palace came into being, the monsters with low cultivation bases would have run away long ago. What's more, there are at least hundreds of cultivators who have come here now, and all of them are from big sects and big families, and some even have extraordinary powers!

Someone had explored this place a long time ago and found that there were no monsters in it.

"Let's go back and report to our respective elders... hm?"

The young monk just breathed a sigh of relief when he suddenly felt a chill on his back and his hair stood on end.

An extreme sense of threat enveloped his entire body, as if a pair of cold and sinister eyes were staring at him.

"who?!"

He shouted angrily, then drew out his long sword.The sound was particularly clear in the quiet mountains.

"What's wrong with you? Who is here?"

The people traveling with him were very confused and didn't know why he suddenly acted as if he was facing a great enemy.

But soon, the shaking of the ground also made them alert.

There's something under the ground!

Immediately afterwards, a thick tail broke out from under the soil and swung out, bringing with it a whistling strong wind that blew the dead branches and leaves on the ground into the air.

Then several animal shadows rushed out from the ground.

That is——

Earth spirit crocodile.

Several!

A body over ten feet long was crawling on the grass, with ferocious fangs on both sides, a bloody mouth opened wide, revealing sharp serrations, and a pair of scarlet eyes stared at the three young monks beside the bluestone, with a fishy smell wafting into their noses.

The young monk's pupils suddenly shrank, a strong sense of fear surged in his heart, and he turned and ran!

This earth spirit crocodile is a demon spirit that has reached the stage of distraction and has already acquired intelligence.

There are no such monsters in the ancient crocodile mountains, which can only mean that they came from outside.

The monsters were also attracted by the appearance of the Ancient Secret Palace? !

"Want to run?"

An earth spirit crocodile sneered, and burrowed directly into the ground again. After a few breaths, it broke out of the ground again, but this time it appeared in front of the three monks' escape route, and then opened its bloody mouth.

Each bite is crunchy.

"Puff!"

Blood splattered everywhere.

As it chewed, blood and flesh spurted out of its mouth, staining the ground red... After the Earth Spirit Demon Crocodile finished swallowing, it tilted its neck back and burped, then spat out some weapons and a storage bag mixed with blood and flesh.

These cannot be eaten.

"Humph, these stupid humans want to eat alone!"

It looked disdainful.

"Send a message to the Stone Vein Demon King that humans are trying to blockade this mountain range. We should speed up our actions. Otherwise, if we wait until those powerful humans gather in large numbers, it may become troublesome."

"Okay, I'll go right away."

Another earth spirit crocodile burrowed into the ground again and escaped at high speed.
