Rong Jingyun's Strange Behavior
"There's no time to lose, let's set off immediately to rescue Elder Heng," Song Wen said.
Rong Jingyun gave Song Wen a grateful look.
"Thank you, Elder Wu. Please follow me."
Rong Jingyun rode her sword and led the way.
The two flew downstream for several miles.
Then, Rong Jingyun leaped into the rushing river.
Song Wen did not follow immediately. He had the Sacred Beetle Gu escape into the river first before jumping into the water himself.
The current was very rapid, but Song Wen moved through it with ease, like a fish.
After diving more than ten meters, Song Wen followed Rong Jingyun and entered an underwater cave.
Rong Jingyun walked ahead, looking extremely cautious, as if afraid that there might be Demon Beast lurking in the water.
The underwater cave was winding and twisting. After the two had traveled for more than ten miles, two paths appeared in the cave.
One winds forward, the other slopes upward.
Rong Jingyun entered the upward path.
After walking for the time it takes for an incense stick to burn, Rong Jingyun suddenly stopped and sent a telepathic message to Song Wen.
"This place is less than a mile from the water. Beyond the water's surface lies an underground cave. My husband is inside that cave."
"That Burrowing Beast should still be guarding the cave. Once we enter, Elder Wu, please hold it off while I take the opportunity to retrieve the Blazing Fire Cauldron Burrowing Beast. If we can kill the Burrowing Beast, that would be even better."
Song Wen nodded, concealed his aura, and flashed to the front of Rong Jingyun.
Slowly floating forward, as it approached the surface, Song Wen had one of the Sacred Beetle Gu probe out of the water first.
The cave above is roughly several acres in size.
In a corner of the cave, a towering Blazing Fire Cauldron lay overturned on the ground.
The Burrowing Beast, missing an eye, was pounding the large cauldron with its sharp claws, the force of which made the Blazing Fire Cauldron.
It would occasionally use its sharp teeth to gnaw at the cauldron, but it couldn't harm the Blazing Fire Cauldron in the slightest.
After several unsuccessful attempts, the Burrowing Beast became somewhat annoyed, and with a flick of its massive tail, lashed out at the cauldron.
The Blazing Fire Cauldron was instantly sent flying, crashing into the rock wall.
The rock face was dented, sending stone chips flying and rocks falling.
Upon witnessing this scene from underwater, Song Wen channeled his spiritual power and unleashed the Thunder Spear Technique.
With his full effort, three ten-foot-long thunder spears burst forth from the water.
At the same time, Song Wen leaped out of the water and rushed towards the Burrowing Beast.
Enemies meeting are bound to be filled with hatred.
When the Burrowing Beast saw the newcomer, Song Wen, its only remaining eye flashed with a bloodthirsty red light.
Previously, it was because of the interference of the Human Race's Thunder Method that it was ambushed by the Human Race woman and lost an eye.
The Human Race before me is of mediocre strength; their Thunder Method is only good for scratching an itch.
This Human Race dared to chase after us alone; he was practically courting death.
The Burrowing Beast leaped high into the air with all four limbs, pouncing towards Song Wen.
At the same time, a layer of earthy yellow light shone on its body, like a thick layer of armor, protecting it firmly.
"You beast, die!" Song Wen roared.
He formed a lightning hand seal.
A bolt of lightning, as thick as a bucket, coalesced at the top of the cave.
At this moment, the three lightning spears finally struck the Burrowing Beast.
A burst of lightning illuminated the entire cave.
The earthen-yellow armor on the Burrowing Beast was instantly torn apart.
The residual power of the Thunder Spear Technique blasted the Burrowing Beast to the ground.
Anger flashed in the Burrowing Beast's eyes.
Human Race are indeed despicable and cunning; they have actually concealed their strength.
The power of this thunder spear is several times stronger than before.
At this moment, the Great Cavern Divine Thunder at the top of the cave had already taken shape.
Feeling the terrifying pressure of the Great Cavern Divine Thunder, Burrowing Beast's eyes were filled with deep fear.
An even richer, earthy yellow glow emanated from its body.
At the same time, its four limbs began to dig at the ground.
The stone flew through the air, and in the blink of an eye, it had dug a large pit.
The unearthed stones, attracted by the earthy yellow glow, automatically enveloped it.
From a distance, it looks like a giant stone beast lying on the ground.
At that moment, the Great Cavern Divine Thunder descended.
"Boom!"
A spray of shattered rocks.
The impact resounded loudly against the surrounding rock walls.
The rock armor on the Burrowing Beast was shattered instantly.
However, there was no sign of the Burrowing Beast; only a hole appeared in the same spot.
In a very short time, it had already burrowed underground.
"Beast, please leave."
Song Wen darted to the top of the cave entrance.
You can also see half of the Burrowing Beast's tail.
It is frantically digging in the soil, trying to burrow into the rock and escape.
The rock armor did not completely block the Great Cavern Divine Thunder; many of the scales on the Burrowing Beast's body were shattered.
Its scales were shattered, and blood was gushing out; it looked extremely pitiful.
Song Wen raised his hand and summoned a short spear, which was crackling with lightning.
"Go!"
Song Wen tossed the short spear into the underground cave entrance.
The short spear pierced through the wound on the scales and disappeared into the Burrowing Beast's body.
Thunder raged within the Burrowing Beast's body, Burrowing Beast instantly died.
At this moment, Rong Jingyun, who had just emerged from underwater and was preparing to collect the Blazing Fire Cauldron, suddenly stopped in her tracks.
She turned to look at Song Wen, her face filled with astonishment, mixed with a hint of wariness.
The Burrowing Beast is known for its strong defense.
Surprisingly, Song Wen easily defeated him in just a few moves.
Even at her peak, she could never have killed this Burrowing Beast so easily.
"Elder Rong, why don't you go and check on Elder Heng?"
Rong Jingyun withdrew her gaze and turned to walk to the side of the Blazing Fire Cauldron.
The Blazing Fire Cauldron is a top-grade Spirit Artifact, containing a profound magic array, which is why the lid was not opened despite the repeated attacks from the Burrowing Beast.
Rong Jingyun channeled her spiritual power, activated the Blazing Fire Cauldron, and opened the lid.
But it only opened a crack.
As Rong Jingyun probed into the cauldron with her Divine Sense, her expression changed drastically, and she became extremely flustered.
Heng Cheng's condition seemed to be very bad, so bad that she no longer cared about hiding it and pushed open the lid of the cauldron.
Heng Cheng was lifted out of the cauldron using his spiritual power.
Or rather, she lifted Heng Cheng's body out of the cauldron.
Heng Cheng is already dead; his body has lost all vitality, and even a god couldn't save him.
He must have been dead for a short time; his soul has not yet left his body.
Rong Jingyun made several hand Method Formula and struck Heng Cheng.
Then, she took out a jade bottle from her storage ring, preparing to do something.
Suddenly, she froze, looked up at Song Wen, and hesitated.
It seemed that witnessing Heng Cheng's death had thrown her into disarray, and she had momentarily forgotten that Song Wen was still beside her.
After a moment of contemplation, Rong Jingyun said.
"Elder Wu, I beg you, do not reveal a single word of what I saw and heard. Otherwise, I will have no place to stand in the Beast Taming Sect."
Song Wen frowned, looking at Rong Jingyun with suspicion.
Just now, Rong Jingyun's Method Formula aimed at Heng Cheng's corpse was Binding Soul Technique.
This Technique Method, commonly used by demonic cultivators, has only one function: to bind the souls of the dead, preventing them from dissipating on their own and from reaching their destined place.
