Reincarnated as a Mosquito, I Sucked the Reborn Empress to Tears - Chapter 388: The Terrifying Outer Realm Fierce Beast, In a Company of 3, One Must Die

Chu Sheng was deep in thought.

Suddenly.

The Fierce Beast, which had seemed like a fossil, moved.

Without any warning, its head, which had been buried between its two front claws, suddenly twisted around 360 degrees with an eerie, boneless motion.

Its face was now staring directly at the Celestial Thunder Clone suspended in mid-air.

And what a face it was.

It had no nose, only two dark, gaping holes.

Its mouth was split open to its ears, revealing a crisscrossing maze of fangs.

But the most terrifying part was its eyes.

The moment its green eyes snapped open, two beams of almost tangible green light instantly locked onto Chu Sheng’s clone.

Chu Sheng felt his entire body stiffen. Then, he clearly saw the emotions shifting in the Fierce Beast’s eyes.

Its massive pupils trembled, its gaze revealing… shock, excitement, greed, disappointment…

The next instant!

Its mouth suddenly gaped open, and a huge tongue shot out like a snake, wrapping directly around Chu Sheng.

Chu Sheng had no time to react!

Moreover, the tongue was covered in an extremely sticky mucus and tiny barbs!

Chu Sheng’s body was instantly pierced through. Unable to struggle, he was reeled in right before the Fierce Beast’s eyes.

The Fierce Beast stared at the little mosquito on its face, seemingly excited that a living creature had finally arrived.

But it also seemed disappointed that it was just a little mosquito.

Finally, unable to restrain itself, its tongue flicked, sending Chu Sheng into its mouth.

Chu Sheng… croaked.

…

’Holy crap!’

Three hundred thousand meters deep, above the black stele.

Chu Sheng’s main body snapped back to reality with a jolt.

He had, of course, experienced everything his clone had just gone through!

’That Fierce Beast is that badass?’

’My clone is almost unaffected by the gravity, but that Fierce Beast is so huge. The pressure on it must be at least a million tons.’

’Even so, my clone was completely helpless against it!’

It was as simple as a toad eating a mosquito.

’So, what level is this ugly Outer Realm Fierce Beast?!’

’It’s been locked up for who knows how many years, and it’s still so damn strong?’

’And who was it that suppressed such a badass Fierce Beast here?’

Chu Sheng wasn’t afraid. Instead, his curiosity grew stronger.

’Maybe I should send a Water Mirror Clone to test it out?’

However, just then, his antennae twitched slightly.

’Hm?’

’Movement! Someone’s coming?’

’And more than one!’

’Is it Gu Yuexi?’

Chu Sheng hesitated for a moment, then immediately suppressed his aura and hid himself.

…

「At the 250,000-meter mark in the canyon.」

Three figures were struggling forward against the immense gravity.

Leading the way was still the burly man in silver exoskeleton Battle Armor, Giant Rock.

The light on his Battle Armor had dimmed somewhat, a clear sign of massive Energy consumption.

But the light in his eyes grew brighter and brighter, fueled by his lust for treasure.

A few dozen meters behind him was Gu Yuexi.

She was still dressed in white, her steps steady.

And trailing in the shadows at the very back was the sinister middle-aged man, Viper.

The trio formed an extremely bizarre group.

In fact.

Just ten-odd minutes ago, Giant Rock and Viper had once again joined forces to launch several attacks on Gu Yuexi.

But in the end, not only did they fail to take down Gu Yuexi, they ended up consuming a great deal of their own Qi Blood.

After several attempts, Giant Rock and Viper finally saw the light.

In this godforsaken place, every last bit of Qi Blood was priceless.

Wasting all their strength to kill a single Seventh-Grade cultivator was clearly not worth it.

Thus, with a tacit understanding, the two chose to stop.

The opportunity had to come first!

With this thought in mind, the three of them had actually fallen into a strange state of “peaceful coexistence,” trudging onward in single file.

Among the three,

Gu Yuexi’s face was calm, but inwardly, she was sneering.

’These two idiots.’

’I already warned them. There’s no opportunity ahead, only a dead end.’

’Since they’re in such a hurry to get themselves killed, they’ll have no one to blame but themselves.’

Finally.

As the distance closed.

The towering black stele appeared in their line of sight.

“That’s…”

Giant Rock stopped dead in his tracks, his eyes wide as saucers.

“A stele?! A stele this huge?!”

He trembled with excitement.

For such an obviously man-made, magnificent structure to suddenly appear in the depths of this barren canyon…

What did it mean?

It meant they had found the right place!

“Hahahaha! There really is something here! There really is!”

Giant Rock let out a wild laugh. Disregarding the consumption of his Qi Blood, he kicked off the ground and charged toward the stele with a RUMBLE.

Seeing this, Viper’s expression changed from behind him.

“Dammit! That big idiot wants it all for himself!”

He couldn’t be bothered with hiding anymore. With a flicker, he transformed into an afterimage and followed close behind.

The two scrambled over each other, afraid of being a step too slow.

Soon, they reached the foot of the stele.

“This aura…”

Giant Rock reached out and caressed the stele’s cold surface, his voice trembling as he felt the vast, oppressive might lingering upon it.

“Emperor Realm! This is definitely the work of an Emperor Realm expert!”

“In this kind of gravitational environment, who else but a Great Emperor could erect such a massive stele?!”

“We’ve struck it rich! We’ve really struck it rich this time!”

Viper also had a greedy look on his face, but he was slightly calmer than Giant Rock.

His gaze fell on the characters on the stele’s surface.

“What does it say?”

Viper squinted, trying to make out the ancient symbols.

“Giant Rock, can you read it?”

Giant Rock froze for a second, leaned in to look for a long time, then shook his head.

“Nope. This doesn’t look like modern script.”

“But…”

A self-satisfied glint flashed in Giant Rock’s eyes.

“Who cares what it says! Since a Great Emperor left it behind, it must be pointing the way to the treasure!”

“Maybe it’s some kind of Cultivation Technique inheritance, or an incantation to open the treasure vault?”

Viper thought about it and felt that made a lot of sense.

“You’re right.”

He laughed sinisterly.

“Usually, in front of a peerless opportunity like this, there’s always a stele to record the Great Emperor’s life story, or to present a test for those who come after.”

“Since the stele is here, that means the final destination is just ahead!”

The two looked at each other, seeing the fanaticism in the other’s eyes.

All thoughts of danger and warnings were thrown to the back of their minds.

In the face of immense temptation, a person’s intelligence tends to plummet.

Especially when that temptation was a chance to advance to the Emperor Realm, or even the Emperor Realm!!!

“Let’s go!”

Giant Rock let out a low growl. Ignoring the stele, he went around it and charged toward the final destination ahead.

Viper followed close behind.

Like two bulls seeing red, they plunged headfirst into the even more terrifying region of gravity ahead.

…

「A moment later.」

Gu Yuexi arrived as well.

She didn’t rush forward frantically like the other two.

Instead, she stopped before the stele, quietly gazing up at the familiar structure.

’We meet again.’

Gu Yuexi sighed softly in her heart.

Then, she turned and looked back at the empty canyon behind her, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.

’That dead mosquito… I wonder if his evolution is finished. Will he make it here?’
