Fallen God Race
Sang Ying swiftly darted over the low hill, her figure like a nimble swallow, and in the blink of an eye, she flew into the gap between the two mountain walls.
A few blinks after Sang Ying fell into the crevice, a bare, tentacle-like tail plunged into the crack, knocking down a lot of rocks from the mountain walls on both sides.
A head with sharp fangs followed closely behind and squeezed into the crevice, but got stuck because the crevice was too small.
It let out a frantic howl, its tail thrashing wildly into the crack, looking like a wild beast that had lost its mind.
The spirit of the Heart Devil Mirror, nestled in Sang Ying's arms, cautiously extended its Divine Sense. It merely glanced at the Nine-Tailed Beast struggling behind them and couldn't help but shiver.
Just as the Mirror Spirit was about to say something, Sang Ying quickened her pace. She suddenly changed direction and jumped onto a protrusion on the crevice of the mountain wall. The next second, the Mirror Spirit saw that the spot where they had just landed had been pierced by the tail of the Nine-Tailed Beast.
The Mirror Spirit, who had initially wanted to complain about Sang Ying's sudden change of direction, immediately shut up. If Sang Ying hadn't dodged that attack, the two of them would have been pierced right through.
The Mirror Spirit silently shrank back, only whispering a few random compliments to Sang Ying in her ear—it was also afraid that if it said too much, it would affect Sang Ying's actions at that moment.
But that wasn't the end of it. After Sang Ying finally managed to jump onto the protruding rock, another tail followed closely behind and attacked the rock again.
Fortunately, Sang Ying dodged before the tail attacked, but the tail was too fast. Even though Sang Ying avoided the fatal blow, she was still grazed on the cheek by the flying pebbles behind her.
The Human Race blood was probably a stimulus to the Nine-Tailed Beast as well. As soon as blood began to seep from the wound on Sang Ying's face, the Nine-Tailed Beast, which was stuck in the rocks, became even more agitated, and its cries were louder than before.
Its two sharp front claws gripped the mountain walls on either side, screaming as it tried to push the walls open and squeeze in to grab Sang Ying.
The Mirror Spirit also witnessed this scene. Because Sang Ying was quick to dodge, it was no longer so afraid of the Nine-Tailed Beast. Seeing this, the Mirror Spirit even had time to smile and say to Sang Ying, "Look at that stupid thing, it actually tried to tear the mountain wall open."
Even the few stones in the Gods and Devils Ravine are more special than those outside, so the mountain walls are naturally much more solid.
Unlike the other beast, Sang Ying was not optimistic. Instead of paying attention to how the Nine-Tailed Beast was tearing open the mountain walls, she fled even faster.
The Mirror Spirit was puzzled. "The Nine-Tailed Beast's tail is only this long, it can barely attack you now, is there any need for us to run so fast? What if there are other monsters ahead?"
The Nine-Tailed Beast should actually be Nine-Tailed Fox. It was originally a divine beast, but it was corrupted by Demonic Qi and became what it is today.
There are many beings like this in the Gods and Devils Ravine, and the Mirror Spirit said this out of concern for Sang Ying.
But things took an unexpected turn for the worse. Before they could escape the long crevice, a gust of wind suddenly blew by. Sang Ying looked up and saw a giant gray bird, whose appearance she couldn't quite make out, had somehow landed on the other side of the crevice.
It stood calmly guarding the exit on the other side of the crack, its enormous eyeballs enough to block Sang Ying's path.
Mirror Spirit: No way, what I said actually happened?!
"Luckily, the Nine-Tailed Beast behind us can't get in. At worst, we can just stay in the middle of this crevice. Eventually, they'll realize they can't catch you and leave."
As soon as the Mirror Spirit finished speaking, the Nine-Tailed Beast raised its head and roared, its front claws tearing through the mountain walls on both sides, forcing most of its body into the narrow crevice.
With that movement, the attack range of its tail instantly increased significantly!
The Mirror Spirit... The Mirror Spirit fell completely silent. It silently withdrew its outstretched Divine Sense, realizing that it might really be going to die this time.
Sang Ying didn't say much. Both sides of the rift were occupied by huge monsters, and she would die no matter which way she ran. So she changed her route and fled directly to the top of the rift!
Fortunately, although she couldn't use too much Spiritual Power in the Gods and Devils Ravine, it was enough to support her as she climbed upwards.
Fortunately, Sang Ying made a decisive decision. As soon as she climbed up the high stone wall, the tail of the Nine-Tailed Beast and the feathers of the giant bird fell into the crevice.
Sang Ying glanced back. If she didn't run upwards, she knew she wouldn't be able to escape if these two monsters joined forces.
With that thought in mind, Sang Ying pressed harder on her feet, using the protruding rocks on the mountainside as she climbed upwards step by step.
Fortunately, these two mountains were high enough, though not as high as the Gods and Devils Ravine, but enough to help Sang Ying escape this calamity.
The Nine-Tailed Beast was alright; it was more resentful of Sang Ying as its prey. But seeing Sang Ying getting further and further away from it, and realizing that it was already stuck tightly in the rift because it had forced its way in earlier, making it difficult to escape, it simply gave up on Sang Ying.
But the giant bird was different. It was agile and, after realizing that Sang Ying would leave through the crack, it prepared to fly up and attack her.
The Sang Ying was the only food with Spiritual Qi it had encountered in all this time, and it was unwilling to give it up so easily.
Sang Ying had no idea what the two monsters were thinking; she was only focused on climbing higher.
Before she could even climb out of the crevice, several piercing roars came from below.
Sang Ying quickly grabbed onto a large rock, and when she looked down again, she saw that the Nine-Tailed Beast's tails had all been broken off!
Not only that, even the giant bird opposite had one wing cut off. Thick, dark green blood flowed from its body, a sight that was truly terrifying.
"Hiss, who did this? The guys in the Gods and Devils Ravine are really something else." The Mirror Spirit said casually.
They barely exchanged a few words before the battle below continued.
The white blade flashed swiftly through the crack. Sang Ying didn't even see who was making the move before the Nine-Tailed Beast and the giant bird both lost their lives.
The Nine-Tailed Beast was stuck and unable to escape, while the giant bird wanted to leave, but the being that hunted them severed its other wing, completely eliminating any possibility of escape.
Sang Ying just watched, half-hanging on the mountainside, not daring to move, for fear that she would be slashed by that mysterious being who wielded the sword shadow.
Soon, a person appeared in the crevice. He deftly cut open the chests of the Nine-Tailed Beast and the giant bird, and pulled something out.
Sang Ying was engrossed in watching, eager to see exactly what the other person had taken.
The next second, a hot breath brushed against her ear. "Have you seen enough?"
