Free Web NovelChapter 1893: Chapter 1885: Pray for Your Own Good Fortune
Lu QingCheen, Lei Dong, and Yan Song all raised their heads to look at the sky, their expressions horrified.
Up in midair.
The shadow sweeping by with its wings spread was like a giant mountain, blotting out the sky and sun.
Vaguely.
They could all hear gust after gust of howling wind coming from the sky above.
An Invisible Suppression seemed about to sweep across the entire land.
Especially.
At this moment.
High up in the air.
Countless fragments of feathers and wings were drifting down like raindrops and cotton fluff.
Those were all the wings of the earlier swarms of Demon Mosquitoes.
A moment ago, they’d all been swallowed in one bite by that colossal shadow circling in the sky.
Only a field of broken wings was left behind.
Lu QingCheen and the other two were so terrified their bodies went rigid.
Lin Tian’s expression also darkened at this moment.
He stared up at the sky, sending his Divine Sense to probe.
Before his Divine Sense even got close to that thing, he already felt the surging Suppression hanging over the sky.
That thing’s Cultivation was so powerful it was at least comparable to a Golden Core Early Stage Cultivator!
The main thing was.
Such a massive monstrosity, like a giant mountain—if it really came to a fight, Lin Tian didn’t feel confident at all.
Because.
Just its sheer size alone carried endless natural advantage.
It could crush people to death just by pressing down!
When his Divine Sense finally shrouded that thing, Lin Tian’s face grew even gloomier, and he let out a cold breath.
It was also a monster!
An Earth Cave monster!
Its true form was actually a bat—a giant bat as big as a football field!
Its wingspan was more than a dozen zhang!
As its wings flapped, roaring gales swept through the sky.
Its Tusk jutted out, cold and terrifying.
"This thing should be an Advanced monster in the Earth Cave, right? At least, if it comes down, even just flapping its wings would be enough to kill you all!"
Lin Tian’s face was grim as he turned to look at Lu QingCheen and said coldly, "There’s something wrong with your map, isn’t there?"
"I... I..."
Lu QingCheen’s expression changed, and he hurriedly explained, "Senior, I really don’t know! But the legends about Miyan Island have long been spreading within our Donghuang Mountain! Our Sect Leader had also confirmed this place exists! And the directions the map gave us before didn’t seem wrong; it should be accurate!"
"Hmph! We’re leaving!"
Lin Tian snorted coldly, turned around, and prepared to retreat along the path they’d come.
He was ninety percent confident he could kill this bat monster.
Even if its body was huge as a mountain, as long as it hadn’t Transformed, he was confident he could handle it!
However.
This was the Earth Cave, and Lin Tian couldn’t be sure whether there were other equally terrifying monsters around them.
By then.
If he drew more of these powerful monsters over, he wouldn’t be able to withstand them!
"Yes, Senior! From what I saw in the ancient books, the path to Miyan Island is supposed to be filled mostly with low-level monsters; what we’re seeing now must be wrong!"
Lu QingCheen quickly responded, rushing to explain.
But just as they were about to return to the valley.
The ground suddenly erupted with rumbling booms like an earthquake; nearby peaks collapsed in response, as if the end of the world had come.
"Hm?"
Lin Tian’s expression changed as he looked toward the valley.
At the same time.
From all directions around the valley and the wasteland, clouds of dust suddenly rose into the sky.
Meanwhile, in the direction of the gorge, mountains kept collapsing one after another.
Many areas were being leveled flat.
"Th-this... what’s happening?"
Lu QingCheen and the other two paled drastically, crying out in shock.
Before their voices even fell, the trembling of the ground grew more and more violent.
Amid the thunderous booms came all kinds of panicked, terrified beastly roars.
At the same time.
In the sky, that giant bat’s wings beat even more frequently, as a deafening Zhi Zhi screech rang from its mouth.
"It’s a Beast Tide! Find a place to hide, or you’ll all die for sure!"
Lin Tian took one glance at the sky, then barked at the three of them.
Beast Tide!
The three of them instantly turned ashen green!
Stunned for a moment.
They then bolted madly toward a nearby peak that hadn’t collapsed yet, diving into a recessed area at the base of the mountain.
Lin Tian quickly followed as well.
He wasn’t foolish enough to ignore a Beast Tide here.
This was the Earth Cave, and he knew nothing about many of the situations here.
On top of that, there was still that giant bat monster circling in the sky!
Rumble~
Just as Lin Tian left the open wasteland, the area around them was shrouded by billowing dust.
On the ground.
One bizarre silhouette after another surged past within the clouds of dust.
Those silhouettes were all Earth Cave monsters!
Standing with Lu QingCheen and the other two in a concealed spot beneath a mountain, avoiding the Beast Tide, Lin Tian sent out his Divine Sense and saw many monsters he’d never seen before.
They were like a flood, sweeping mightily across this stretch of land.
Meanwhile.
Up in the sky.
The giant bat, upon seeing the Beast Tide, was clearly extremely excited.
Roar~
It let out a harsh, strange roar, then swooped down from the air.
Its massive body descended like a meteor falling from the heavens onto the earth.
Crash~
The giant bat flapped its wings, instantly fanning the rolling dust on the ground straight up into the sky.
At the same time.
Its vast Suppression swept through the midst of the Beast Tide.
Seeing the giant bat descend, the surging Beast Tide fell into utter panic.
They let out frantic screams, crashing about wildly as if their lives depended on it.
Crack~
But as the giant bat skimmed low over the ground, one dive was enough: with a snap of its gaping bloody maw, it swallowed dozens of monsters in one bite, the scene incomparably terrifying.
"Th-this thing... is a bat? If it ever appears on the surface, wouldn’t that be a disaster?"
Lu QingCheen, having seen the giant bat clearly now, stared wide-eyed, sucking in a deep breath of cold air as he stammered.
Lei Dong and Yan Song beside him were so frightened their faces turned deathly pale; they didn’t even dare move, afraid the giant bat would start sensing them.
"We leave once the Beast Tide passes!"
Lin Tian remained extremely calm. After glancing at the giant bat that had devoured so many monsters, he said to the three of them, "If monsters of this Advanced level could get outside, they wouldn’t still be here! The existence of the Earth Cave entrance is precisely to hold these things back!"
Hearing that, Lu QingCheen let out a slight breath of relief.
What they had to do now was get out as soon as possible.
As long as they returned to where the Earth Cave Temple was, things this powerful might not dare to go over.
A full half hour later.
The Beast Tide finally ended.
Seeing that the giant bat in the sky didn’t seem to have noticed them, Lin Tian prepared to leave.
But no sooner had they stepped out from under the mountain than gales blasted down from the sky.
Massive shadows, one after another, suddenly swept in from the other side of the sky.
There were at least fifteen or sixteen shadows as large as the giant bat!
Lin Tian quickly realized they were all giant bats!
"Move!"
Lin Tian’s expression turned grave as he urged Lu QingCheen and the other two.
The three of them had also seen what was coming, and their legs nearly gave out from fright.
But after only a few steps, something bad happened.
Another giant bat flew over right above their heads.
Worst of all, it happened to pass directly overhead and discovered their presence.
"Roar~"
The giant bat let out a screeching roar, shrieking at Lin Tian and the others.
The other giant bats immediately turned their gazes this way.
And then they all noticed Lin Tian and the others.
Rumble~
With gales sweeping, a dozen or so giant bats swept over toward them in an instant.
"These things are hunting! That Beast Tide just now was probably driven by them! But... we might be the appetizer now!"
Seeing this, Lin Tian’s expression grew as grim as it could get, and he said to Lu QingCheen and the other three, "From here on, you master and disciples are dead; you can only pray for your own fortune!"
