Chapter 1260 Creatures From Another World

Long Chen pulled Chang Hao and Bao Buping into a crack in the rocks . He saw a strange figure in the air whistling over .

It was a humanoid creature with wings . Its size was essentially the same as a human, but it had bat-like wings and its nose was slightly sharper . It had a mouth of sharp teeth, and its eyes glowed . It looked extremely terrifying .

“A winged devil?”

Long Chen was startled . This creature was extremely similar to the winged devils he had encountered in the Jiuli secret realm .

But the winged devils he had encountered in the Jiuli secret realm had been tens to hundreds of meters tall, while this one was much smaller .

This creature clearly had a protruding spot on its forehead that looked like a closed third eye . There was powerful energy flowing within it .

But this creature rapidly flew by, and Long Chen also didn’t dare to look too closely for worry of it sensing him .

Looking in the direction it was flying, it was clear it was going to the entrance they had come from .

“Probably someone exposed themselves,” whispered Long Chen .

The three of them stealthily crawled up to a slightly taller mountain . They quickly heard shouting and fierce whistling from the entrance .

Although they had entered quite a while ago, they hadn’t gotten that far . From here, they were able to still see the black mist .

In front of the black mist was a man wielding a halberd and fiercely fighting that creature .

He had done the same thing as many adventurers once they entered Devil Spirit Mountain . The first thing he had done was test his way back, which had activated the formation and drawn over this creature .

At this time, Bao Buping and Chang Hao looked at Long Chen with admiration . If he hadn’t warned the adventurers not to enter after them within the next six hours, the three of them would very likely have been implicated by this adventurer .

That adventurer was a Jade Core expert . He was extremely powerful . But shockingly, despite his halberd being a King item, he was unable to do anything to this creature .

The creature’s wings had countless runes unleashing blinding light, and its sharp claws allowed it to fight the adventurer barehanded .

Sparks flew and a metallic ringing rang out whenever its claws clashed with the halberd . Its claws and wings were both as hard as King items .

“This creature doesn’t seem as terrifying as I thought . I could definitely defeat it,” said Bao Buping .

Although it was powerful, its aura was not in the Jade Core realm . Bao Buping had absolute confidence in easily defeating it .

“You’re thinking too simply . That adventurer was most likely noticed because he touched the formation . In other words, he definitely caused information to be sent to the creatures overseeing this place . They knew it was just one ordinary adventurer, and that’s not important to them . So they just sent an ordinary expert,” said Long Chen .

No matter how he looked at it, he felt this creature to be just like the winged devils he had encountered in the Jiuli secret realm . That raised his alarm .

The winged devils were incredibly powerful . Even after they had died, just their skeletons possessed terrifying combat power . Just how powerful did they have to be when they were alive?

This winged devil was the same size as an ordinary person . It was likely that it was the lowest level of the winged devils here . It was probably just a regular guard who came to eradicate the invader .

“AHH!”

Suddenly, a miserable scream rang out, rousing Long Chen from his thoughts . He saw blood mist erupt as that Jade Core expert was torn apart by the creature .

After killing him, the creature looked icily around . Carrying the adventurer’s weapon, it flew away on the same path it came from .

When it was near Long Chen and the others, Bao Buping wanted to attack it, but he was held back by Long Chen .

Once it flew past, Long Chen said, “This place is too close to the entrance . It’s probably within the area that they monitor . Let’s continue onward and get further away before we decide to do anything . ”

They slowly continued forward . The entrance grew further and further away . Six hours later, another powerful aura flew by, and the three of them hastily hid themselves .

As expected, another adventurer had entered and immediately tested whether he could return . As a result, he touched the formation, causing him to be sensed .

This expert struggled a bit before being slain by another creature . In front of it, these Jade Core adventurers had no ability to resist .

“Long Chen, what should we do?” Bao Buping and Chang Hao stared at the creature .

Long Chen clenched his teeth . “Bring it down . ”

After killing the adventurer, the creature gathered his weapon and flew away .

But as it was flying, it suddenly saw a person in front of it . Bao Buping was blocking its path .

“Long Chen wanted me to ask you if you’re a winged devil,” said Bao Buping .

The creature’s eyes shone with a fierce light . It opened its mouth, revealing a set of sharp teeth . Its mouth actually extended all the way to its ears .

“Jiejiejie…” The creature laughed sinisterly, a laugh that could cause a person’s blood to turn cold . Its sharp teeth flickered . It looked like a demon and sent a claw at Bao Buping .

“Jie your father, taste my blade!” Bao Buping snorted and slashed his broadsword .

Bang! The creature’s claws were shattered by Bao Buping’s attack . It was not a match for Bao Buping .

It let out a miserable cry, not having expected the Foundation Forging Bao Buping to possess such power .

The creature’s aura was also on the level of the Foundation Forging realm . Yet, it was able to slay Jade Core experts with ease .

Therefore, it could be seen how terrifying its power was . But this power wasn’t enough when compared to Bao Buping who was at the ninth Heavenstage of Foundation Forging .

The creature turned to run, when Sword Qi slashed down from the heavens, landing on its back and causing blood to fly .

Sensing the fatal danger, the creature hastily folded its wings, blocking Chang Hao’s sudden attack .

But now its wings were broken by Chang Hao’s attack . At the same time, it let out a howl and began to run . But having lost its wings, its speed fell dramatically .

A black martial weapon ruthlessly struck its head, causing its body to go limp and fall from the sky .

“Nice work . ” Long Chen grabbed the unconscious creature, flying back toward Bao Buping and Chang Hao .

He pressed a finger to the creature’s head and sent in his powerful Spiritual Strength .

“Soulsearch . ”

Long Chen’s Spiritual Strength invaded the creature’s head, rushing into its mind-sea . But suddenly, its head exploded automatically as Long Chen seemed to have touched some kind of restriction .

Long Chen snorted and his Spiritual Strength enveloped the sky . The creature’s scattering soul was still caught by his Spiritual Strength . Even these fragments could be useful to him .

“Fuck, we were noticed so quickly . ” Long Chen cursed, his expression changing . He sensed danger rapidly approaching . He grabbed the creature’s headless corpse and flung it into the distance, while he fled in the opposite direction .

The three of them had only just disappeared when over ten similar creatures rushed over, flying toward the headless corpse .

These experts had terrifying auras . Seeing the headless corpse, their icy eyes were filled with killing intent .

One of them waved a hand, and they all split up, searching for the killer .

Long Chen, Bao Buping, and Chang Hao were hiding under a boulder . Long Chen had dug out a small hole for the three of them to hide in . As for the outside, he had covered their aura with medicinal powders and erased any tracks . Lying within this hole, none of them dared to move .

They lay there for three whole days . Killing that creature had caused a huge disturbance .

After three days of hearing them searching, things returned to calm . However, Long Chen knew that probably quite a few more adventurers had entered Devil Spirit Mountain during this time .

Perhaps the creatures thought that the murderer was one of those adventurers and had already been slain .

“Now what?” whispered Bao Buping .

“Let’s wait another two days for the disturbance to completely die out . Now that we’re here, we’re not in a rush,” said Long Chen .

Although the creature’s head had exploded in the end, Long Chen had used the fragments of its soul to piece together some information . This information was extremely helpful to him . That risk had definitely been worth it .

After two days, they stealthily crawled out of the ground and continued onward .

According to that creature’s memories, this location had over ten hidden sentries in charge of defending it . If a person touched the formation, one of them would go kill them .

Due to its soul exploding, Long Chen wasn’t able to get its complete memories, so he didn’t know the location of those hidden sentries . But he could use his sense of danger to avoid them .

As they advanced, they saw more and more marks of battle, as well as broken fragments of weapons . They even saw a few broken skeletons .

Those skeletons were even harder than King items . There were some bloodstains on the ground that still possessed auras that made their hair stand on end despite how much time had passed .

“A terrifying battle definitely occurred here before . Perhaps this is the battlefield from the dark era,” said Bao Buping nervously .

The aura that came from the ground here made them feel a chill . There were definitely countless corpses buried here, corpses of heroes slain in battle .

“Careful!”

Long Chen suddenly pulled the two of them to the ground . A flash of light appeared overhead .
