Just as everyone was preparing to rest where they stood, Zhao Wuji suddenly shouted in a low voice, "Everyone! Stay alert!"
Though full of doubts, everyone quickly gathered behind him and assumed defensive stances.
Oscar could not help asking, "Teacher Zhao, what happened?"
Zhao Wuji stared fixedly at the forest ahead, the muscles in his shoulders twitching slightly. His expression was grave.
"Something big is coming. Its aura is very powerful."
As soon as he finished speaking, a dull creaking sound came from the direction he was watching.
Two towering trees that would have required two people to wrap their arms around were slowly pushed apart, their leaves rustling as they fell.
A colossal creature emerged silently from the forest, and its shadow instantly covered the entire clearing.
The moment they saw its form clearly, everyone felt as though their throats had been clutched, their breathing stopping abruptly—it was practically a moving mountain!
Its entire body was covered in black fur, which gleamed with a cold, hard luster beneath the faint starlight and moonlight.
Even on all fours, its shoulders stood over ten meters high!
If it stood upright, it could probably reach the treetops fifteen meters above with ease.
Its appearance fell somewhere between an ape and a gorilla. A pair of lantern-sized eyes glittered with the cold radiance of yellow crystals, and when they swept over the group, they brought with them a suffocating pressure.
Every muscle on its exposed arms and chest bulged like granite, knotted like hillocks.
It seemed to contain enough strength to tear the heavens and earth apart. Merely standing there caused the ground to tremble faintly.
"W-what kind of Soul Beast is this?"
Ma Hongjun's voice trembled as he instinctively took half a step back.
He had never seen such a massive existence.
