Translator: Thyaeria Editor: Thyaeria
Rumble!
The earth shuddered as the countless Spirit Pawns that formed the Spirit Pawn Army was restless at this moment. Streams of light shot out from the depths, without daring to stop for the slightest degree.
These Spirit Pawns did not obstruct those that were rushing out. However, under the former’s struggle, they were able to feel the pressure that’s akin to a Spirit King was rapidly spreading from the depths.
This pressure made them unable to move a single step.
Bang!
As the pressure radiated out, a dazzling giant that’s over 300 metres high stepped out from the depths, quaking the earth and shook the mountains as it marched forth. The earth split apart under its feet as the ferocious cracks continuously extended out.
Roar!
The eye-piercingly bright giant roared, causing incomparable berserking Spiritual Energy sound waves that shattered the unfortunate Spirit Pawns as they radiated out. However, the giant did not pay the slightest bit of attention to them as it locked onto the figure at the front and relentlessly pursued it without the thought to give up.
“Damn it.”
Seeing the Spirit King that did not at all care about other people as it chased after him, Mu Chen’s face changed.
“Why is that big fellow chasing us?” Wang Tong and the rest had also discovered the situation and instantly became slightly flustered. As of now, the strength of this Spirit King had risen dramatically. Without even talking about them, even if Zhao Qingshan and Xu Huang were to attack together, they would still not be able to be its opponent.
“Its coming for me.” Mu Chen replied while clenching his teeth as he continued, “I’ll lure it away by myself. You guys leave first and find a safe place.”
“That’s too dangerous!” Wang Tong, An Ran and the rest hurriedly exclaimed.
“If it continues to chase us like that, it’ll eventually catch up to us.” Mu Chen replied as he shook his head. There wasn’t much panic showing within his black eyes. Taking a deep breath, he declared, “Let’s split up.”
“I’ll accompany you!” Luo Li exclaimed while softly biting her lip. She was extremely firm and blunt. The Spirit King before them was extremely strong. If Mu Chen tried to deal with it alone, it might be very troublesome for him. Therefore, she had to come along with him.
Mu Chen faintly hesitated, before nodding his head. He did not try to show off his ability. As of now. although the Spirit King could not be considered as having completely crossing over from its weak and newly born phase, there was no need to doubt its strength. If he tried to deal with it alone, it truly would be very thorny.
After nodding his head, he did not say anything more. With a move of his body, a dragon roar resounded out as he immediately displayed the Dragon Soaring Art. His figure transformed into the shadow of a dragon, rapidly shooting towards another direction akin to lightning.
Upon seeing this, Luo Li’s beautiful body moved and immediately followed after him. Her speed appeared to be not much slower than Mu Chen, who was displaying the Dragon Soaring Art.
Roar!
Following the change in Mu Chen’s direction, the Spirit King that was chasing them had also immediately sensed it. While roaring, it chased after Mu Chen once again.
The ray of light in the front, the giant at the back. The earth trembled as they rapidly disappeared from everyone ‘s line-of-sight.
“Let’s go.” Wang Tong looked over at Mu Chen’s and Luo Li’s figures heading into the distance and clenched his teeth. Immediately turning his body, he brought An Ran and the rest towards the outside of the Spirit Pawn Army. As of now, if they were to follow Mu Chen’s side, not only would they not be of the slightest use, they would even drag him down.
The other people had also understood. Although worry and unease filled their eyes, they still rapidly followed Wang Tong and left.
Since the Spirit King was chasing after Mu Chen, the people who were fleeing in fright from other directions had also noticed this. Soon after, they gradually came to a stop as they looked at the direction that the Spirit King had headed towards with doubtful eyes.
“What happened? Why did the Spirit King only head towards Mu Chen?” up in the air, Zhao Qingshan said with his brows wrinkled.
“Previously, only Mu Chen had entered the underground cave. He had definitely obtained something there; therefore, making the Spirit King chase after him.” Mu Fengyang replied while clenching his teeth, his eyes brimming with the fires of anger. He was the one that thought of luring trouble to Mu Chen. However, who would have thought that Mu Chen was not only not sent out of the hunting grounds, he had even discovered the secret underground cave. Although the did not know exactly what Mu Chen did in the underground cave, since he was able to make the Spirit King relentlessly chase after him without giving up, how could the thing that he had obtained be common?
Speaking from this point, didn’t he give Mu Chen a chance to obtain a treasure?
Thinking about this scenario, Mu Fengyang was furious till his face turned green.
“What should we do?” Mu Fengyang said as he looked towards Zhao Qingshan. They had lost over ten people, and they haven’t even dredged up a single hair. How could this make them give up?
Zhao Qingshan’s eyes sparkled, as he was similarly not willing to leave without the slightest bit of harvest. Slightly muttering to himself, he clenched his teeth and replied, “Let’s wait a bit, before following those two. Let’s see if there will be a chance for us. If there is, we’ll attack. If there isn’t, we’ll rapidly retreat.”
He was a decisive person, and was clear that the current Spirit King was too strong and not something they could deal with. The only thing they could do was wait for an opportunity. If they rashly attacked, they would only end up being sent out of the hunting grounds.
Mu Fengyang nodded his head and looked towards the direction the Spirit King had gone. If the benefits of this place was obtained by Mu Chen, he’ll truly be depressed until he vomited blood.
