Chapter 4727: Frenzy
Even if they had won the battle above, these juniors shouldn't have rashly followed them into the sea.
"Go, hurry!"
"Patriarch, there are defensive barriers set up all around."
"What is this?"
This was a Saint Beast Confinement Domain set up by the mature Saint Beast before them.
Long Hui couldn't help but shiver, abruptly turning around and glaring sharply at Long Qian, "Grandmother, was this mature Saint Beast, sleeping in the depths of the sacrificial sea abyss, awakened by you?"
At a time like this, how could Long Qian admit it?
How could she possibly dare to admit such a thing?
Even if she had summoned it, she wouldn't dare acknowledge it, let alone the fact that she had no idea what was going on.
She had initially intended to summon a powerful sea demon beast, preferably one that could immediately force the little stoic to hand over the mermaid pearl.
But now...
It was clear that things had spiraled beyond her control. Even she felt a sense of powerlessness.
"Stop with the nonsense, hurry up!" Long Qian furiously roared at Long Hui.
She turned back to see that the half-humanoid Saint Beast had already crawled out from the icy abyss.
Yes, half-humanoid.
The lower half of this Saint Beast was a gigantic snake tail coiled in layers. Long Qian guessed that if it stretched out its body, it would probably be... hundreds of meters long?
Clearly, Long Qian underestimated the power of this Saint Beast's snake tail.
It suddenly unfurled its coiled snake tail, and just halfway uncoiled, it crushed and attacked dozens of young Long family members.
The young Long family members, who had just entered the sea and hadn't yet recovered from the abnormal scalding of the seawater, were instantly smacked away by the gigantic snake tail, crashing into the seabed abyss.
They didn't even have a chance to cry out; their bones were instantly pulverized into dust, sending them all to the underworld.
Long Qian: !
"Run, quick!" Long Qian's hysterical scream hadn't even finished when the humanoid Saint Beast dangerously opened its eyes.
Its eyes were almost transparent, like glass, gleaming with a bloodthirsty, dangerous light.
Qiao Mu dutifully acted like a timid quail, hiding in Mo Lian's arms, secretly peeking at the rampaging humanoid Saint Beast.
Immortal Lord Peach Blossom quickly whispered to Qiao Mu, "No matter what happens later, remember not to escape into the Star Domain. Keep it tightly shut!"
Qiao Mu's pupils slightly constricted.
She immediately understood Immortal Lord Peach Blossom's meaning.
This meant that in front of this mature Saint Beast, any space was ineffective.
Escaping into the Star Domain would only accelerate her demise.
Because it... ignores space, and the consequences of it following them in would likely be terrifying.
Given this Saint Beast's murderous and merciless demeanor, it was likely that all living creatures in the Star Domain would be slaughtered.
Including Qiao Mu, the master of the Star Domain...
Thinking of this, Qiao Mu couldn't help but shiver, then quickly looked up at Immortal Lord Peach Blossom, "Let's run together!"
Her words were decisive.
Running away was probably the best option right now.
To run far away and not confront it directly.
Let it be fierce, let it be venomous, let it show off, let it fly—they weren't going to play with it. Running away was the right path!
Immortal Lord Peach Blossom looked at the little one's sparkling eyes. If the situation weren't so critical, he really wouldn't be able to resist laughing.
How could this fellow make admitting defeat and running away sound so perfectly justifiable?
"It's probably too late to run."
"From the looks of it, this Saint Beast has gone into a frenzy."
Once it dealt with those worm-like Long family members, what came next...
