Chapter 1279: Escape!
The group of people randomly chose a direction to travel, not knowing where they would end up.
Along the way, they encountered some more people, and some even gathered in quite large numbers.
Feng Qier, being kind-hearted, would often remind them to go and find that large group to join.
Su Yi didn’t stop this, but his brows furrowed deeper and deeper!
"What exactly exists in this direction?"
Su Yi silently thought to himself, filled with doubt and confusion.
Everyone followed his instructions, and deep down, Su Yi could feel that as they moved towards this direction, the abnormalities in his body caused by the Supreme Chaotic Yuan Technique would intensify.
This kind of change is not obvious in a short distance, but after a long time, it is not difficult to notice.
In an invisible way, as if there is something in this relic, summoning him.
In response to this, Su Yi simply made up his mind and decided to go see it first no matter what.
Another day passed, they crossed one raised mound after another, and the surrounding scenery showed some changes compared to before.
"Sect Leader Su, have you noticed that the sky seems to have become more blood red?"
Elder Gao Cang came to Su Yi’s side, frowned, and said.
Su Yi nodded, he also noticed this.
Not only that, the dark brown earth below seems to be getting darker and deeper.
And those raised mounds are even higher and some could even be called small mountains.
The bones buried underneath are surely much larger!
"There’s someone behind!"
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly.
Turning their heads towards the sound, a small dot quickly grew bigger in the sight of everyone, moving through the air as fast as lightning.
"Oh no! There’s a deadly creature chasing him from behind!"
Soon, Su Yi and the others all saw that behind the person, a huge bird flapped its wings and chased after him, even faster than the person in front.
Just like the jackal and wolf dead creatures Su Yi had seen before, the bird was covered in decay, with all its feathers gone, and its decaying fluids trickling down like a light rain.
However, by relying solely on its fleshy wings to fly, it demonstrated a speed that even normal powerful beings in the Yuan Emperor Realm would find hard to match!
"To rescue or not to rescue?"
Someone in the crowd asked a difficult question.
The lifeless object must be very powerful, but if everyone works together, there is a chance to defeat it.
Just as everyone finished speaking, they heard a rumbling sound nearby.
Below, a mound of earth suddenly started moving, and a huge skeleton burst out of the soil, shaking off a cloud of dust and standing tall!
"Hehe…"
The skeleton’s body was almost completely decayed, with only disgusting flesh clinging to its head, like a fierce tiger.
With a kick of its hind legs, the skeleton leapt into the sky, ready to attack Su Yi and the others!
"Quick, hide!"
Everyone was shocked and scattered, fleeing towards the distance.
A giant skeleton soared into the sky, biting down with rows of sharp teeth, making a metallic sound. It then crashed heavily onto the ground, and turned into pieces with a loud "bang."
This scene left Su Yi and others in complete astonishment.
It seemed that only partially decayed bones could transform into lifeless creatures with an instinct for battle, causing harm to the group.
In just a moment, the pursuers from behind had already closed in. However, they were scratched by a flying creature from behind, instantly tearing their body in half and staining the sky with blood.
"A powerful Yuan Emperor Realm expert died just like that?"
Su Yi’s eyes jumped, realizing that the person’s aura just now clearly indicated they were at the initial stage of the Yuan Emperor Realm. He never expected that they didn’t even have the strength to resist before being killed.
This situation shocked all the experts present.
"Tweet…"
Out of nowhere, they all heard a sharp bird cry that pierced through the clouds and split stones, reaching their souls.
"Quick, move back!"
The crowd didn’t dare to delay. Although far away, they all quickly rushed in the same direction.
After killing one person, the bird sensed the presence of Su Yi and the others. It flapped its wings again and fiercely attacked!
"This creature is much stronger than anything I’ve encountered before. I’m no match!"
Elder Gao Cang spoke solemnly as he continued to retreat.
Su Yi also had a rough idea. Even though the bird was already dead, its remaining power was still terrifying.
In terms of physical strength alone, the creature’s residual abilities might not be as good as when it was alive, but it was enough to send chills down one’s spine.
Among the group, only Elder Gao Cang and two other powerful experts of the Yuan Emperor Realm, including Su Yi, could hold their own against the average Yuan Emperor Realm opponent. However, facing this creature, they had no confidence at all.
"Quick, run!"
Several companions in the Yuan Void Realm saw a menacing creature chasing after them. Realizing they couldn’t outrun it, they quickly split up and separated from Su Yi, Feng Qier, and Elder Gao Cang.
Strangely enough, the bird-like creature ignored them and headed straight for Su Yi and the other three.
"We can’t escape, we have to fight it together!"
With gritted teeth, Su Yi pushed himself to his limits, using his incredible speed comparable to a normal Yuan Emperor Realm cultivator. However, he couldn’t shake off the pursuing creature.
Elder Gao Cang exchanged a determined look with another powerful Yuan Emperor Realm expert, both deciding to turn around and confront the creature head-on.
It seemed unlikely they would be able to escape far, so they decided to give it their all.
However, just as they were preparing to halt, they noticed a mound of dirt rising below them. From it emerged a beast that resembled a spirit ape, with eerie gray eyes, decaying lips, and sharp fangs.
The creature’s legs cracked the earth, stepping on a large pile of bones. Like a powerful arrow soaring through the sky, it raised one hand and lunged directly at Elder Gao Cang!
Elder Gao Cang let out a cry of alarm and quickly changed direction, hastily evading the attack.
He was caught off guard and, with two disciples in tow, his speed was affected, leaving two blood marks on his heels.
"Boom boom…"
Then, not far away, another lifeless creature crawled out from underground, spread its wings and soared into the sky, accompanied by a sharp piercing sound, heading straight for another Yuan Emperor Realm.
Another winged creature, driven by instinct, attacked suddenly!
The initial creature then relentlessly chased after Su Yi and Feng Qier, fast as lightning, constantly closing in on each other.
The three creatures pursued from three different directions.
Even if the three of them joined forces to deal with one, there was no guarantee of success. Now that there were three, it became even more overwhelming!
"Run separately, take care of yourselves!"
Su Yi shouted, speaking to Elder Gao Cang.
He took Feng Qier and pushed his inner power to the limit, his energy boiling throughout his body, desperately fleeing!
At the same time, Su Yi felt a lot heavier in his heart.
Everything in this relic seemed so mysterious and unclear. After a few days of exploration, he realized that the things he saw were not complicated, but still difficult to comprehend.
These lifeless objects were once the remains of ancient creatures. Those with remnants of flesh and blood still had instincts that were not completely extinguished.
What kind of place was this? It was so eerie and incomprehensible!
