Chapter 16 - Winged Snake (2/2)
All of a sudden, the sound of something breaking the air rang out from afar.
“Someone is here?” Lin Feng frowned. He didn’t want any trouble; hence, he sped up and rushed into the distance.
However, it was already too late.
“Hold it there.” A cold snort rang out from his back. Five to six cultivators rushed over, each with a powerful aura. This was especially so for the man in the lead. His aura was heavy, and each of his movements was accompanied by the sound of crackling thunder. His exhalation resembled a sword, and the sound of his breathing was thunderous. Even from afar, he gave Lin Feng a sense of pressure.
“An expert at the ninth-level of the Martial Student Realm.” Lin Feng felt shocked in his heart.
He stopped and asked, “Everyone, why do you ask me to stop?”
The cultivator in the lead cast a glance at the double-headed lion on the ground and spoke, “Since you could hunt a double-headed lion, it means that your strength isn’t bad. Follow us back.”
“Follow you guys back to where?” Lin Feng furrowed his brows.
“Follow us to meet with the third young master,” said the cultivator in the lead coldly.
Lin Feng initially wanted to reject this. But when he saw the cold looks and ferocious expression on their faces, he knew that he would end up being attacked from all sides the moment he rejected it.
In addition, Lin Feng also wished to see what these people were up to.
He nodded his head. “Sure, please lead the way.”
Their group then began to move toward the distance.
They ran and headed for a lake located ten miles away.
“Shriek~”
About two to three miles away from the lake, a sharp ear-piercing noise suddenly rang out from it.
After that, a hundred-meter-long gigantic creature suddenly rushed out from the waters.
“Winged snake!” Lin Feng exclaimed in shock.
He had read the [Mountains and Rivers Classic] before.
The Mountains and Rivers Classic had recorded that: Winged snake, had a body of a snake and the wings of ancient winged dragons, possessing tremendous speed and brutal nature. It was a demonic snake that had a trace of the ancient winged dragons’ bloodline.
Demons had intelligence, and they understood cultivation. In the future, if their cultivation climbed to a certain level, they would be able to speak the human tongue and even transform into a humanoid form.
“The winged snake has appeared. Quickly!”
The lead expert in Lin Feng’s group roared, making Lin Feng and others increase their speed as they rushed toward the lake.
“Help, help!” From afar, a voice crying for help could be heard.
There were five cultivators at the lake’s side with their arms tied behind their backs. The winged snake was currently rushing at them.
“Prepare to fire the arrows.”
Within the forest, over ten people were waiting in ambush. The man in the lead was a young master. When the winged snake rushed toward the human baits, the young master called out to remind his subordinates.
The winged snake was extremely quick. It opened its huge maw and directly devoured the five baits.
“FIRE!” The young master waved his hand.
Swish, swish, swish~
The over ten cultivators waiting in ambush began to fire their arrows. After that, they rushed toward the winged snake.
However, the speed of the winged snake was simply too fast. After devouring its prey, it directly rushed back into the lake and vanished from sight.
“Damn! The winged snake got away again.”
The expression of the young master turned gloomy.
“Young master, we are back,” greeted the cultivators that brought Lin Feng back.
“Mhm, how many people have you all captured?” the young master asked.
“Replying to the young master, there are very little people that appear in the surroundings. We only managed to capture one man.”
The young master frowned. “Bring him over.”
“Brat, come over.” The cultivator in the lead shouted at Lin Feng.
Lin Feng furrowed his brows. He saw the previous scene extremely clearly. These people were using humans as bait to lure the winged snake out. Their methods were truly brutal to the extreme.
“Spare us! Young master, please spare our lives!” Not far away, over ten cultivators were tied together. Their faces were pale and they begged pleadingly for mercy.
“Shut up. Whoever dares to talk will be killed directly.” The expression of the young master was ice-cold.
The remaining cultivators that were tied up paled even further. Their bodies were trembling and despair covered their faces. They no longer dared to beg for mercy.
Because the bodies of their fellow comrades lay on the ground before their eyes. These bodies were those who had tried to run away or been screaming loudly. The subordinates of this young master had ended their lives with a stab of their swords.
“This man is so ruthless,” Lin Feng silently mused as he walked over, staring at this young master. He felt astonishment in his heart as he moved closer. This young master was actually an expert at the ninth-level of the Martial Student Realm.
