Exploring an Underground Cave, They Encountered Hundred-Thousand-Year Soul Beasts-and Even Their Full Strength Was Not Enough
Hiss, hiss~
A hoarse scraping sound echoed through the underground world.
"Prepare for battle!"
Tang San shouted at once. His instincts told him that what came next would be dangerous!
Zhu Zhuqing looked distressed as well. Her Heavenly Eye had seen something utterly terrifying.

The rank odor in the air made everyone's airways feel as though they were burning, and circulating their soul power became painfully difficult.
"Drink the Green Dewdrop! This is poison!"
