Chapter 1528 - 1508: Demon Beasts in the Tunnel

Chu Tian and Chi Long, accompanied by five of their followers, walked along the underground tunnel. After a few hundred meters, they heard the sound of rushing water.

"Wow, there's an underground river here."

The follower scouting ahead exclaimed excitedly.

Chu Tian remarked:

"Yang Xiao is quite lucky this time, even being buried in the underground tunnel he still has such a fortunate encounter."

Chi Long shone his flashlight around and said to Chu Tian:

"Chu Tian, did you notice that this tunnel seems to have been recently dug? The rock fragments around are new, unlike the old ones that have aged for several years or decades,

I always doubt that Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe have such capabilities? How could they dig such a long and large tunnel?"

One of the followers suddenly shouted:

"I discovered that the Evolution Energy here is denser than at the entrance, you should try it."

Upon hearing this, everyone immediately activated their Evolution Techniques, and indeed, the Evolution Energy here was richer.

This discovery greatly excited the group.

"As we continue along this tunnel, the Genetic Evolution Energy will definitely get stronger. The concentration here is already stronger than that of a level nine Cultivation Field. I really can't imagine what it will be like at the end of this tunnel."

The group was in a state of excitement, as if entering a secret treasure cave.

"Boss, let's hurry forward and see if there are any treasures ahead."

"Alright, everyone be careful."

The five followers scouted ahead, while Chu Tian and Chi Long followed behind.

As they delved deeper into the tunnel, everyone felt the Evolution Energy growing increasingly potent.

Each person's heart was filled with excitement because they had found a treasure trove. Cultivating here could increase their progress several times over compared to a level nine Cultivation Field, and crucially, it was free.

Chu Tian suddenly laughed and said:

"Chi Long, if we could lease this tunnel and then offer it to the students of Wuji Academy, wouldn't that make us a fortune?"

Chi Long was startled but then chuckled:

"Not just a fortune, it could even put us on the Dwarf Star Continent's millionaire list, but would Wuji Academy let us lease such an excellent Cultivation Field?"

"The 101 Cultivation Field has already been destroyed, and the academy currently doesn't know about this powerful Cultivation Field. If I make some moves with the academy leaders, we might be able to acquire it cheaply,

and even if the academy finds out later and wants it back, surely they'd have to pay us an astronomical sum, right?"

As they thought about it, both felt as if surrounded by Crystal Disks, and life suddenly reached its peak.

Chi Long suddenly exclaimed:

"Not good!"

"What's wrong?"

"Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe must know about this tunnel. If they interfere, we definitely won't be able to lease it."

"Then let's kill Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe together. Today they will not escape if they come."

.....

Chu Tian and Chi Long, with their five followers, continued along the underground tunnel. Eventually, everyone grew frustrated with their speed and began using Cultivation Techniques to run forward.

No one knew how far they ran; they only knew the tunnel became increasingly long, and the Evolution Energy inside grew more potent.

The craving for Evolution Energy spurred everyone to run forward with all their might, eager to discover what awaited at the tunnel's end.

Suddenly,

A deep, muffled growl echoed from deep within the tunnel, and a fierce wind swept toward the group.

The person leading in the front was startled and instantly activated the Defense Light Screen, and the quick-witted one delivered a sudden punch.

"Boom!"

A massive explosion sounded.

The five people in the lead were flung into the air and flew backward.

Chu Tian and Chi Long were startled and each caught the five followers flying back toward them.

"What's happening?"

"Everyone, don't panic, stay calm, Defense Light Screen, be on guard!"

Chu Tian issued several commands in rapid succession.

Beams from several flashlights shone forward into the tunnel.

"Hiss, hiss, hiss..."

Low growls sounded from the front, and in the blink of an eye, a pitch-black monster appeared under the flashlight beams.

"What kind of Demon Beast is that?"

"It's a Mountain Cannon Demon Beast."

"How could there be a Mountain Cannon Demon Beast here?"

"The beast is gigantic, and its Evolution Level is not small!"

Combined with the repelling attack from the beast earlier, a chill crept into everyone's hearts.

Chi Long stepped forward and shouted:

"What's there to be afraid of? It's just a beast. Yang Xiao and Xing Zhe lived in this underground tunnel for five months without issue. If they could defeat the beast, can't we do the same?"

Chu Tian also moved forward, agreeing:

"Exactly. At worst, it's an Emperor Level Realm beast. Brother Chi Long, let's join forces and slay this beast. I heard the Scale Armor of the Mountain Cannon Demon Beast is incredibly tough, perfect for crafting High-Level Magic Armor. We stumbled upon a treasure today."

"Hiss, hiss, hiss....."

The gigantic pangolin (Mountain Cannon) Demon Beast slowly crawled forward down the tunnel.

"Foolish humans, none of you will escape today. I will avenge my son, haha...."

Chu Tian shouted in anger:

"Heh, just a beast, and yet you boast so shamelessly. Watch how grandpa deals with you!"

Chu Tian clenched his fists tightly and fiercely punched forward.

A violent Killing Aura roared through the narrow tunnel, instantly smoothing the jagged rock edges on the tunnel walls, surging towards the Mountain Cannon Demon Beast at the other end of the tunnel.

"Roar!"

The Mountain Cannon Demon Beast opened its mouth, unleashing a blinding red flame, roaring as it charged.

The two powerful attacks clashed instantly.

"Boom!"

A huge blast rent the air,

the tunnel's center blew open into a large cavity, and massive cracks spread across the tunnel walls, dislodging a significant amount of rock debris.

An air current surged violently in front of Chu Tian.

Startled, Chu Tian quickly thrust his fists forward, propelling a ferocious force.

"Bang!"

He barely resisted the Mountain Cannon Demon Beast's attack.

Chu Tian trembled, retreating five or six meters before barely regaining his footing.

He gasped and shouted:

"Brother Chi Long, this beast is quite powerful, be cautious."

Chi Long sneered, raising his right hand. Several dozen green egg-sized Poison Pills shot forth, each landing ahead in the tunnel, erupting upon contact with the ground into a cloud of green smoke, drifting in the tunnel air.

Chu Tian pushed both palms forward, launching a fierce Wind Blade that carried the green smoke toward the Mountain Cannon Demon Beast.

The Mountain Cannon Beast seemed to recognize the poison mist and roared, emitting a powerful air current that flipped the green mist back, directing it towards Chi Long and the others.

Chi Long was startled, shouting loudly:

"Run, this beast's Combat Power is overwhelmingly strong, far beyond our capabilities, retreat quickly."

Chu Tian yelled, his fists striking out.

"Boom!"

The violent Killing Aura erupted, rushing along the tunnel.

Chu Tian's Killing Aura merged with Chi Long's Wind Blade, pushing the green poison mist forward five or six meters, charging once more towards the Mountain Cannon Demon Beast.
