Chapter 1262 (2/2)

In this kind of place, let alone fighting, just the slightest carelessness could end up causing them to touch the forbidden restrictions here, while these creatures could probably come and go as they please .

Long Chen couldn’t care that much any longer, and he spread his divine sense to find the empty spots . “Get over here . There are three empty spots . We’ll disguise ourselves as corpses . ”

They stood in the notches, taking the same posture as the other corpses . They even made the fluctuations of their aura as steady as them .

They had only just set themselves up when over ten of those winged creatures flew over . They held a person in their hands . He was a cultivator . Long Chen stealthily used his divine sense to see that it was a rank eight Celestial who was also at the Foundation Forging realm .

He clearly had to be a disciple from a powerful sect . However, his robes were foreign to him so he wasn’t able to tell what sect he came from . But such a powerful genius couldn’t possibly be a wild cultivator .

Long Chen closed his eyes and didn’t move . Bao Buping and Chang Hao did the same . They solemnly acted dead .

Long Chen suddenly realized that they were coming for him . That was because there was an empty spot beside him for the cultivator .

As soon as this thought formed in his head, those creatures arrived beside him . He could smell the scent of blood coming from them . It was like they were the offspring of evil and violence born in blood .

One of them tossed the cultivator into the notch beside Long Chen . The cultivator let out a pained grunt . He was actually not yet dead .

These creatures icily stared at him like he was a pig for the slaughter .

One of them grabbed the chain coming out of the wall . Its tip flickered with a cold, sharp light .

The chain stabbed through the cultivator’s back, causing him to let out a miserable scream that resounded throughout the pit .

“Jiejie…”

The creatures laughed bizarrely . That laughter was as painful to listen to as sc.r.a.ping iron . But from that laugh, it was possible to tell that they delighted in his suffering .

Long Chen involuntarily clenched his fists . Although he wasn’t a friend of this cultivator, seeing these creatures torment a fellow human like this still infuriated him .

The cultivator’s screams lasted for a few breaths before his body turned stiff . His screams came to a halt, and his twisted and pained expression became calm .

Using the Nine Star Hegemon Body Art’s senses, Long Chen sensed the chain absorbing the cultivator’s soul . Once his soul was stripped from him, he entered an extremely strange state . It was like he had become a living corpse .

A strange energy also came out of the chain, causing the cultivator to suddenly become covered in runes . Then he entered a bizarre cultivation state just like the other corpses .

After a few minutes of watching, seeing that the cultivator was completely motionless, the creatures flew away .

But although they had left, Long Chen didn’t move . He still felt a sense of danger that hadn’t pa.s.sed .

Seeing Long Chen hadn’t moved, Bao Buping and Chang Hao also didn’t move . It took a full two hours before a figure appeared in the sky . It was another one of this world’s creatures .

This creature once more checked the cultivator that had just been caught before leaving .

Only once it left did the feeling of danger pa.s.s . Long Chen sighed with relief . Confirming there was no more danger, he slowly began to move .

“f.u.c.k, what a crafty thing . We almost got duped . ” Bao Buping wiped off some sweat .

Just now, he had almost spoken . Fortunately, he had been smart enough to glance at Long Chen and see him standing there motionless . Otherwise, they would have been screwed . Perhaps after being with Long Chen for so long, he had also learned to use his head a bit .

“That creature wasn’t targeting us . It was targeting this cultivator . His soul was sucked away by the chain, and the creature wanted to see if he had split his soul and created a spiritual clone,” said Long Chen .

Many cultivators made spiritual clones to protect against the worst-case scenario . At a critical time, they could sacrifice the clone to protect the main body . This creature had been lying in wait to prevent this .

Now that two hours had pa.s.sed, that person’s spiritual fluctuations had completely vanished, allowing it to leave .

“Let’s go . I want to see what secrets Devil Spirit Mountain is hiding . ”

Long Chen waved his hand, and the three of them once more began to carefully descend . After two hours, they finally saw the end of the pit and a huge altar . Seeing that altar, they were filled with shock .
