134 The strange race. (2/2)

Li Yang moved his gaze away from the dungeon and turned his head in the direction that Fang Ying had been looking earlier, doing his best to peer through the dried up and bone-like trees. But as he hadn't touched upon the law of space like Fang Ying had, he was unable to detect the distant Tian Zheng. He cast one more glance at the descending stairs before casting a quick glance at Zhao Feng, shrugging his shoulders after another second.

”I get it, I get it, we'll go save him. He should be dealing with whatever escaped from here so it'll also be a good chance to learn more about it.”

Fang Ying didn't have to state her desire, Li Yang knew her well enough to understand what she wanted just from the way she looked at him. Tian Zheng had been a bit overly close to her in the past, but that didn't mean that they had a bad relationship, especially now that he had taken a step back after realizing that he stood no chance. Li Yang himself had no personal reason to save Tian Zheng if he was in trouble, but since it was a request from Fang Ying, that didn't go against his bottom line, he had no way of refusing.

Zhao Feng cracked his knuckles with a wide grin, it was finally time for all three of them to let loose once more, no more skulking and sneaking around. Fang Ying flashed a smile and then took the lead, the three of them dashing deeper into the forest, the bone-like grass shattering beneath their feet.

With their speed, it only took them about three minutes to reach Tian Zheng's position, Li Yang stopping them when they were a short distance away from Tian Zheng. The forest here hadn't completely died yet, the trees and land had clear signs of drying up, but it had yet to reach the stage where everything became bone-like. Li Yang pointed at one of the taller and healthier trees in the area, speaking in a hushed voice.

”First we observe and learn, then we jump in and save him at the appropriate time.”

Neither Fang Ying nor Zhao Feng spoke up against his plan, they knew that running in blind against an enemy they knew nothing about was dumb. The three of them quickly ascended the tree and hid in its crown, observing the small clearing that Tian Zheng was currently standing in, gazing into the distance with grave eyes. His right arm was spasming slightly as he clenched his fist, he clearly hadn't fully recovered from the battle against the hydra.

Half a minute after Li Yang and the others reached the area, Tian Zheng's enemy stepped into the clearing. The enemy looked like a human male with black hair and orange eyes, his skin somewhat pale as his body seemed to be starved for energy. But his right arm was far from human, it looked like a mass of black tentacles and worms coiled around each other, writhing incessantly as small drops of white slime occasionally dripped off of it. The man looked at Tian Zheng and spoke up, his voice grating on the ears.

”I just want to go home, why must you keep stopping me!?”

Li Yang's expression was a bit dark as he looked at the man and his writhing right arm. Now they knew where the slime had come from, but the problem was that Li Yang couldn't sense the slightest Divine Beast aura from this man, he didn't feel like a Demonic beast at all. He also wasn't a cultivator, Li Yang couldn't sense a shred of Qi from his body, his body was just like the earlier slime, the laws and Qi in the area seemed to avoid him while also trying to repel him.

Not human, nor Demonic beast, he was likely from a completely different race. But that was what made Li Yang's expression turn dark, an entire race of people like him, who could eat away at the lifeforce and Qi of everything around them? Just how dangerous would a race like that be? Tian Zheng seemed to have similar thoughts, he forcefully clenched both hands and raised his fists, his eyes solemn as he looked at the man.
