The Moon Beast's Lair

Su Zhan suddenly seemed to remember something and asked the person next to him, "What's his name?"

The man quickly said, "Cheng Xinghe, his name is Cheng Xinghe!"

Su Zhan kept it in mind. After Cheng Xinghe convulsed for a while, he stopped moving, and the air fell into a deathly silence.

Everyone thought he had fainted, and several people were about to go forward when Su Zhan suddenly stopped them. "Don't come any closer!"

He stepped forward and circled around Cheng Xinghe warily.

Sure enough, Cheng Xinghe suddenly opened his eyes a few seconds later, his aura surging threefold, and he launched a frenzied attack on Su Zhan.

Everyone around was startled, but Su Zhan seemed to have been prepared, and he launched a prepared attack at him.

Su Zhan understood perfectly well that a spiritual creature that had absorbed the essence of heaven and earth could not be so easily dealt with.

I had never encountered such spiritual beings before, which also proves their rarity and power.

How could something like this be so easily dealt with? Having made up his mind, he intensified his attacks.

Fight with all your might, without holding back.

In such a fight, the slightest lapse in concentration could put oneself in a position from which there is no turning back.

Su Zhan was never such a careless person; he manipulated every bit of his strength, attacking his opponent frantically.

He was unhurried and very methodical; he wanted the thing to escape, not that he really wanted to hurt it.

This thing must have its own lair, and when it faces danger, it will flee to the place it feels most safe.

Su Zhan needed to find a place where he could wipe him out in one fell swoop; otherwise, even if he were driven out here, it would be futile and only a temporary solution.

The only way to truly solve the problem is to destroy his stronghold, make his life unstable and he overwhelmed with trouble, so that he can no longer cause chaos.

Moreover, such a place is bound to contain unexpected things in its lair. Finding them is a win-win situation; it's definitely not a losing proposition.

Su Zhan followed him forward, and he indeed fled frantically to the south.

However, one thing surprised Su Zhan was that the man's escape speed was far too fast, so fast that Su Zhan couldn't even keep up with his eyes, let alone chase him.

Su Zhan gritted his teeth.

Since it's impossible to catch up immediately, leave a mark on him to let yourself know his direction and track him slowly.

He conjured several small Devil Qi ants in his hand, then used all his strength to flick them at his opponent. He threw about ten of them, but only two landed accurately on him.

But that's enough. With just one, Su Zhan can easily know his escape route and see his surroundings, which means he has an undercover informant.

Under these circumstances, Su Zhan barely managed to keep up.

He followed for a long time and arrived at a strange place, which at first glance was just an ordinary Bamboo Grove.

Its problem lies here: the landscape of this Planet is very different from where Su Zhan previously lived.

Vegetation is sparse, but all the vegetation has one thing in common: it is lush and robust.

Bamboo, such a slender and short plant, shouldn't be here, especially not in such large groups; it just doesn't look normal.

It seems this place must be his lair. We could have found out where he was without going to so much trouble, but there's no way around it; only his owner knows his secrets.

Now that his owner is in such a confused state, this is the only way.

The bamboo in the Bamboo Grove is so dense that it's difficult to spot someone even if they're behind you.

He could only slowly trace the Devil Qi left behind, which was naturally inefficient, but it was a reliable method.

He would occasionally use his connection with the ants to survey the environment around the Moon Beast.

They discovered that the more they moved, the more unfamiliar their surroundings became.

At first, it was clear that we were in a lush Bamboo Grove, but later it seemed like we had entered a very dark place.

This darkness is not merely the absence of light, but a darkness that devours the soul, consuming everything, including sound.

It was as if the dirtiest and most terrifying things in the world existed there, the deepest part of hell.

Even probing through the void felt extremely uncomfortable, and a wave of palpitations washed over me.

Su Zhan knew this was his chance, and he absolutely couldn't let it slip away; he had to follow closely!

He saw an entrance leading to the underground, and his senses told him that the thing had gone in through there and was down there.

But when they actually found the place, Su Zhan hesitated again. This place was beyond Su Zhan's imagination. He didn't know what kind of dangers were lurking below. If he went down, there would be no one to meet him outside, and it would be easy for a big problem to occur.

But where can he find such a trustworthy and reliable partner now? There's nothing he can do.

Suddenly, Su Zhan slapped his forehead. Why look for other partners? Aren't his dozen or so loyal Avatar his best partners?

He released the Blood Consumption and Sanyu at the cave entrance and said to them, "If I show any abnormality down there, pull me up immediately."

Both of them nodded vigorously, unable to speak, but replied in the Chat Group: "Don't worry, boss! We will definitely do our duty and there won't be any problems." Su Zhan nodded and then went in.

Su Zhan leaped downwards, maneuvering his body to descend slowly. Time passed second by second, and he had no idea how long he had been descending there, yet he could not see the end.

There was no feeling of solid ground beneath my feet, and I grew increasingly surprised.

This place is so deep!

The deeper he went, the darker it became, and a wave of fear washed over him, as if something below was threatening him.

This fighting instinct to sense threats is the result of his years of wandering and facing life-or-death crises.

His intuition was frantically warning him to back off immediately and not to go in.

But Su Zhan remained steadfast in his resolve and continued downwards.

This matter seemed more complicated than he had imagined. He had thought that the Moon Beast was just a slightly stronger ferocious beast, similar to the one kept in captivity at the bottom of the Devil Race cliff.

But now he realizes that he may have underestimated him.

If this thing were truly as weak as it imagined, it wouldn't have become the reliance of the Moon Worship Tribe, one of the Three Great Clans.

There must be secrets he doesn't know. Perhaps Cheng Xinghe survived the Moon Beast's attack without dying directly or experiencing something even more terrible.

Just because the Contract still exists, and he hasn't reached his most vulnerable period, it's not yet time to truly kill him.

Otherwise, Cheng Xinghe would be the first to suffer.

Su Zhan adjusted his body, constantly changing his posture to broaden his field of vision, in order to guard against any possible attack.
