First encounter with the Outer Realm Demons; Shi Hao of the Stone Clan; why is your head so pointy? (6K)

In the dark depths of the endless void.

Though Zhu Kun was in human form, his hand had transformed into a dragon claw, covered in densely packed purple-gold scales. A little black mist clung to them. He slowly lowered his head, staring at that mist in astonishment and even some bewilderment.

The mist was even trying to corrode and penetrate his scales, slowly writhing across their surface.

"Be careful, Clan Leader. Those damned things are terribly strange. Elder Zhu You fell victim to their tricks."

Behind him, several figures clustered together, facing outward and staring fixedly at the scarlet points of light surrounding them in the endless void. Those were all eyes.

Those figures lurked in the chaotic void like a pack of wolves, staring fixedly at them, as though they would swarm forward the next moment to wipe out Zhu Kun and his companions.

"What uncanny things..."

Zhu Kun frowned slightly and glanced at the wounded elders behind him. "Don't worry. Injuries like these can't hurt me yet. But you need to remove the black mist from your wounds as quickly as possible."

"These fellows might be the legendary Tunling Clan from the Ancient Era." Lying in another white-haired elder's arms, the elder called Zhu You struggled to speak. Black mist surged at his chest, his face was pale, and blood spilled from his lips.

"No."

Zhu Kun shook his head. "If they were merely the Tunling Clan, this would be easy. But their methods are extremely strange, and their experts are too numerous to count. If my cultivation weren't at its peak, this really would be troublesome."

"These fellows might have something to do with the disappearance of those many Dou Di experts from the Great Thousand World back then..." "..."

The other elders of the Ancient Void
