Chapter 574 This is Hell (1/2)
”What is this place... This doesn't look like a Spatial Rift. It's too big,” someone muttered, evidently shaken by the scene before them.
”Yeah, there's no way we're inside a Spatial Rift right now. Even the largest Spatial Rift we've discovered so far is only a tenth of the size of this place,” said someone else.
”Could this be a pocket dimension? It does seem likely, seeing that our planet itself is part of a much larger universe,” said a researcher with golden-rimmed glasses, eager to commence research on the place. Still, he knew where he stood. He was just a researcher, not a soldier. He couldn't even save his own life from whatever dangers lurked there.
The leader of the group turned around to address everyone else. ”Let's move on.” The leader had been dispatched from Huaxia's military. In truth, he was more of a handyman for the group than an actual leader.
They had already come this far, so there was no turning back. If all of them chose to leave at that point, the organizers and participants of this expedition would most certainly become a laughing stock.
As soon as Gao Peng entered the place, an unusual sensation came over him, as if a layer of restrictions had been lifted from him. It was a familiar sensation. He had experienced it not too long ago. Gao Peng frowned.
Bei Qing Yan had also sensed something. The Frozen Asura Knight had informed her that the last seal could be removed. However, Bei Qing Yan dismissed her familiar's suggestion. Removing the last of its seals would be an easy task, but restoring it, not so much.
”Argh!” A shrill scream came from the group.
Gao Peng turned around just in time to see a severely decomposed monster corpse clambering out of the earth. It was covered in green fur, its eyes a furious red and its fangs bared at everyone.
A foul smell exuded from its body. It looked simply terrifying. Suddenly, a bear's paw appeared out of nowhere and slapped the corpse away.
The corpse's head was slapped clean off its neck. It turned out to be all bark and no bite. Everyone knew what was happening at that point.
As if sensing the presences above them, corpses began erupting from the soil. The levels of these reanimated monster corpses weren't that high. Gao Peng noticed that the highest among them was only Commander-tier. There was no sign of any Lord-tier monsters in their midst.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click for visiting.
This looked like the kind of place that Dark or Soul-type monsters would hang around. Gao Peng summoned Flamy to his side by snapping his fingers. Flamy was able to make short work of its enemies with its flame attacks.
Gao Peng stood beside an ancient-looking tree that was gnarled and covered in knots. When he placed a hand on the tree, a dark, cold aura immediately surged into it.
The damage that Gao Peng could have taken from the tree's aura was quickly transferred to Flamy's body. Flamy's body heat was able to dissolve the tree's dark, cold aura.
”Coo?” The Sub-Blood Qing Luan turned to look at Flamy. Flamy looked back at it.
The Bi Fang, Qing Luan, Da Peng, and Jin Wu, which was a three-legged sun crow... these were all well-known birds from ancient Chinese mythology. Being of the same species, these creatures naturally had closer relationships with each other than with other types of monsters.
”You're a Bi Fang?” Flamy's single leg made it quite easy to recognize as a Bi Fang bird.
”Why do you look so... fat?” asked the Sub-Blood Qing Luan. It almost didn't recognize it at first. It had thought Flamy was just an odd-looking penguin.
”Ah.” Flamy stared back impassively at the Sub-Blood Qing Luan. Little green bird, you've just made the biggest mistake of your short bird life.
”...Can you fly?” asked the Qing Luan bird hesitantly.
”Hehe.” Flamy gave it a polite smile. It was a strange sight to see a bird try to curve its beak into a smile.
