Chapter 2007 - 2004: Wild Imagination

"The bigger the waves, the more expensive the fish!" Xu Wendong laughed heartily, then quickened his pace, dashing towards the mountain peak.

Soon, the two reached the summit.

On the summit, weeds were everywhere, rocks were scattered all over, it didn’t look at all like a place hiding Heaven and Earth Treasures.

Xu Wendong’s eyes were sharp as a hawk, he carefully observed but didn’t find any traces of Netherworld Beasts.

If it wasn’t for the Painting Saint’s prior warning, he would never have ventured here.

"There’s nothing here, let’s go back." Loli looked at the desolate scene before her, feeling deflated, with a face full of helplessness.

But Xu Wendong had no intention of leaving.

At this moment, the little beast that had been quiet in his arms suddenly poked its head out, looking nervous and alert, its eyes as round as saucers, vigilantly scanning the surroundings.

The Painting Saint also noticed the little beast, feeling puzzled in his heart, "This kid, actually has a Netherworld Beast of this level following him?"

"What is his background, even the Nine Heavens Phoenix is following him?" Yet, the Painting Saint didn’t reveal the little beast’s true identity.

While everyone was pondering their own thoughts, a sudden loud noise erupted from the sky.

A gigantic flying beast came into view, with a lion’s head, a tiger’s body, a roc’s wings, and an elephant’s feet, with a massive snake’s tail trailing behind. Its appearance was extremely bizarre. This Netherworld Beast was astonishingly huge, standing four zhang tall and stretching six zhang long.

Its wings flapped, blocking out the sun, its aura menacing.

"Roar!"

With a deafening roar, the giant beast landed heavily on the summit, stomping its foot fiercely, shattering the rocks beneath, with countless weeds crushed into pulp.

Xu Wendong’s pupils contracted sharply, a trace of surprise flickered in his eyes.

"This is actually a Ghost Control Realm Netherworld Beast!" Loli couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

Originally, Xu Wendong had used the Xuanming Concealment Skill to cleverly hide his and Loli’s aura, avoiding detection by the giant beast.

But Loli’s exclamation shattered the calm, successfully attracting the beast’s attention.

"Look at you, acting like you’ve never seen the world, shouting so loudly for what? Now we’ve been found, thanks to you, you’re simply a pig teammate!" Xu Wendong curled his lips, feeling very annoyed.

Loli was scared out of her wits, never expecting her outburst to directly expose their location.

The terrifying giant beast slowly turned its head, its millstone-sized eyes gleaming with a bloodthirsty light, staring directly at them, seemingly sizing up its imminent prey.

"Roar!"

A deafening roar came from the beast’s mouth, the terrifying sound waves rolled like turbulent tides, distorting the air.

Loli only felt a massive impact coming her way, her body shook uncontrollably, almost being swept away by the sound waves.

"Help... help!" Loli screamed in terror, turning to flee.

Although she was the senior sister of the Divine Yin Hall, facing such a terrifying Ghost Control Realm Netherworld Beast, fear instantly overwhelmed reason.

She knew clearly, with the strength of these disciples, it was impossible to contend with this giant beast.

Even if the elders of the Three Great Forces came, fighting alone would likely not be this beast’s match.

If she didn’t run now, was she waiting to be swallowed whole?

"What’s there to be afraid of!" Xu Wendong quickly grabbed Loli’s arm, frowning, his eyes full of displeasure, "You’ve caused such a big trouble, and now you want to leave me to escape alone?"

"No, no, Brother Lin, run quickly, we’re no match for this Netherworld Beast, it’ll be too late if we don’t run!"

Loli struggled fiercely while shouting hoarsely.

But Xu Wendong stood like a sturdy pine rooted in the ground, firmly staying where he was, showing no intention of fleeing.

"Who said we’re not a match?" Xu Wendong’s eyes were sharp, a cold gleam flashed in them.

He quickly lifted his hand, taking out a Netherworld Talisman from his arms, it was the meticulously prepared Fourth Grade Nether Talisman Gold Chaos.

Before coming to the Nether Ruins, he had anticipated this trip would be full of dangers, facing the terrifying Heavenly Prides of the Da Yin Dynasty, naturally, he couldn’t be unprepared.

While helping Qi Lechun and Elder An Guang to craft Nether Talismans, he also prepared quite a few for himself. Unexpectedly, before using them, they would be used to deal with this Netherworld Beast instead.

"Are you planning to face this beast head-on?" Loli was incredulous, her eyes widened as she looked at the Nether Talisman in Xu Wendong’s hand, as if seeing a madman.

That was a Ghost Control Realm Netherworld Beast, its strength was unimaginably powerful, Xu Wendong actually intended to defeat it with a single Nether Talisman?

"You help me distract it, I have a way to take it down." Xu Wendong’s expression was calm, his tone firm.

"Me? How am I supposed to distract it?"

"With my limited cultivation level, going over there would only get me slapped to death?" Loli was both angry and anxious, almost bursting into tears.

Although she was the senior sister of the Divine Yin Hall, her combat experience was not rich, even compared to Li Jiayin, let alone with Xu Wendong, notorious for his combative nature.

Having her distract the giant beast, was simply a death sentence.

"Are you doing it or not?" Xu Wendong’s eyes were unwavering, coldly staring at Loli.

"No!" Loli didn’t even think, decisively refusing.

"And you said you’d agree to anything, you’re really unreliable."

"You still hoped to have me join the Divine Yin Hall before, that’s simply wishful thinking!" Xu Wendong sneered, showing disdain.

These words were like a sharp blade, deeply piercing Loli’s heart.

Her eyes turned red instantly, gritting her teeth, she shouted, "Then I’ll distract the Netherworld Beast, but you must join the Divine Yin Hall afterward!"

Xu Wendong didn’t respond, only tightly holding the two Nether Talismans in his hand, a trace of resolute killing intent flashed in his eyes.

At this moment, Loli took a deep breath, summoned her courage, and rushed forward.

"Hey! You! Come over here!" Loli placed her hands on her hips, pretending to be calm, but her delicate face had turned pale as paper.

She herself didn’t know why she listened to Xu Wendong’s words, actually running to provoke this terrifying Netherworld Beast.

If she really angered it thoroughly, she wouldn’t even have the chance to resist, she’d be slapped into mincemeat.

"Roar!" The giant beast roared angrily, but didn’t immediately attack, only coldly staring at Loli, seemingly pondering the source of this weak human’s courage.

Clearly, it had been guarding this place, protecting something important, unwilling to leave easily.

Xu Wendong saw this, instantly understanding.

Beneath this Netherworld Beast’s feet, there must be a precious treasure, it hurried here, surely sensing the treasure was about to emerge.

"Attack it!" Xu Wendong shouted loudly.

Loli bit her lip, resignedly following the instructions.

She reached into her storage bag to rummage for a moment, taking out a beautiful longbow.

This longbow was her cherished treasure, rarely shown to others.

Holding the longbow with both hands, she slowly drew it back, a dense yin energy rapidly gathered at the arrow tip, forming a sharp arrow glowing with a dark light.

"Whoosh!"

The arrow shot out like a meteor, with a sharp whistling sound, striking the Netherworld Beast’s forehead accurately.

The Netherworld Beast felt pain, its indifferent gaze instantly turned ferocious.

It was completely enraged!
