As nearly every major and minor force in this region threw itself into battle with the wolf pack, bloodshed erupted everywhere. Qin Shaofeng did not remain idle either. They intended to use these people to draw out the true immortal beast guarding the treasure.
Qin Shaofeng pointed his sword ahead. "With all the factions locked in chaotic battle, this is the perfect chance to scout out the terrain. But those immortal beasts must have contingencies in place. There may be a hidden killing trap within the mist."
His gaze swept across the faint gray fog at the edge of the battlefield. The sound of dragging chains vaguely came from within, as though some colossal beast lay dormant there.
Dong Long said in a low voice:
"That big fellow's aura has appeared..."
Before his words had even faded, the entire ground suddenly shook violently. A deafening roar came from the gray mist, followed by the sharp crack of chains snapping like thunder exploding.
Dong Long and Xu Qing had encountered the true immortal beast guarding the treasure. At the same time, both their expressions turned exceedingly grave:
"It's here!!!" Qin Shaofeng's expression hardened as he felt the ground tremble ever more violently, the sound of breaking chains piercing his ears like a death warrant.
He paused, his gaze passing over Dong Long and Xu Qing. "Still, we need to discuss a new strategy. Even a talking wolf is this difficult to deal with. The true guardian immortal beast... we may have to stake every possession and our very lives on this!"
Nie Qianying bit her red lip, then suddenly laughed softly. "Don't be afraid."
She leaned close to Qin Shaofeng, her warm breath brushing his ear. "Relax. With big sister here, I'll make sure you get out in one piece... mm."
