I looked at the beast, covered from head to toe in vine-like things, and knew it was the legendary guardian spirit beast, the Falling Wood Beast. It was still a very young one, and at that moment it was dragging a huge, circular formation core around in a frenzy. Trees and rocks were sent flying in its wake, dust billowed everywhere, and its momentum was ferocious.
But although the Falling Wood Beast was dragging the formation core around wildly, it was clear from its expression that it was terrified of something. Several of the chains around its body had already snapped, and some of the thorns restraining it had drawn green blood. The beast had clearly been injured just now, yet that could not stop it from running for its life. Even Chang Jie stopped in his tracks. "What's going on? Why is this Falling Wood Beast running?"
"I don't know. Could there be something in this secret realm? Or are the Star Soul Sect's Star Chasers or the Raging Immortal Chasers of the Raging Spirit Palace trying to kill it?" Bai Zang guessed in astonishment.
"Or perhaps something even more terrifying. We don't need to bother with it. Even if we stop it, we'll only be wasting time. A spirit beast that's gone berserk or is terrified cannot be subdued, so let's go see what happened in this secret realm first." I hurriedly spoke up.
Everyone agreed with me, so we soon continued flying toward the place where the incident had occurred.
To our surprise, we ran into Feng Zhen on the way. He was standing there, seemingly pondering something. The moment he saw us, he was even more astonished than we were. "How did you..."
"What? Curious how we followed you here?" I sneered, looking at his body.
