Killing Grounds of Gods and Devils - Chapter 175

Chapter 175: Four-eyed Race

The eagle-humanoid monster was not a new sight for the group, back then within the forest, the group had seen it within the clouds fighting against some unknown entity with enormous hands and feet, exterminating the other party. The eagle-humanoid monster today was exactly the same as the one they had seen back then, it was even possible that it was the same one.

The golden monster had suddenly descended as it retracted its golden wings, stretching its claw as it gently pinched, lifting Ah Da who was prone on Su Yu’s shoulder up into the air.

Ah Da could not help but let out a shrill cry, hearing this, the group began to panic.

Su Yu was able to see the situation most clearly, his heart was anxious, with the frightening power of the golden monster, it would only need to exert slightly more force to kill Ah Da. If Ah Da died, as soul companions to it, they would also die. This was an extremely sweat-inducing situation, under such a frightening pressure, regardless of Su Yu, Fang Jiong or anyone else, they simply did not even have the slightest intention of resisting.

Compared to this eagle-humanoid monster before them, they were like ants without any chance of resisting.

The golden monster had lifted Ah Da into the air, thereafter, a pair of piercing eagle eyes shot a strange light that swiftly struck Ah Da.

Ah Da quickly closed its eyes, its tail was hanging down and it no longer moved. In the eyes of the others, they were confused at first before swiftly understood that this fellow was pretending to be dead.

With the powerful senses of the golden monster, Ah Da’s actions could not fool it but it continued to slowly measure Ah Da, as though it was very interested. Its fingers gently rubbed Ah Da before its mouth suddenly moved, emitting a noise that everyone actually understood.

“Such an interesting little fellow, your spirit contains a familiar aura…….. In a very distant past……. Perhaps we have met before……”

The eagle-humanoid monster actually had a human voice and it was extremely gentle, as the words entered their minds, the hearts of the group trembled, this was simply too mystifying and inconceivable.

The words of the golden eagle-humanoid monster caused Ah Da to open its inky black eyes, staring at the monster as a light seemed to flash through its eyes.

Suddenly, the monster lightly grunted before tossing Ah Da back to Su Yu.

“Little fellow, if we are fated let’s meet again, hopefully you’ll be grown up by then……” As it said this, it moved a hand to pluck a golden feather from its wings, pointing as the feather flew forward.

“Shuuuum”

The golden feather flew above Su Yu’s head before suddenly floating downwards, landing in the palm of Su Yu’s hand.

“Hehe…… Hehehe…….” At the same time in the space above them, a sinister cold laugh could be heard, this laughter seemed as though it had come from the ninth level of hell, hearing it immediately caused all the goosebumps of the group to stand on end.

The eagle-humanoid monster passed this feather to Su Yu before lifting its head, making a cold harrumph as an enormous black hole appeared within the flaming red clouds above.

The frightening laughter had come from this black hole, thereafter, an immense creature could be seen descending from within the hole, its body was circular in shape, like the lotus platform of a Buddha that could be found within a temple, this lotus platform was enormous, it was at least twenty metres wide, its entire body was a silverish white colour, golden veins could be seen atop it and an immense figure was currently seated on this lotus platform, its body was blackish-grey, the black skin was covered in streaks of sky blue lightning. The other areas of its body was no different from a human but it had four eyes, these four eyes were a pearly blue, its head was bald and its body was muscular. Four items could be seen around the platform, a sky blue combat knife, a dual bladed red sword, a black spear as well as a golden shield.

The four eyed black skinned humanoid monster was seated atop the lotus platform as it appeared through a ‘Sky Hole’, laughing sinisterly while chills went down their spines as they found themselves immobile.

The ten odd metre tall golden eagle-humanoid eagle monster who was on the ground looked up at this four-eyed humanoid monster as it lightly grunted, its wings suddenly flapped as an immense rumbling resounded in the air, it suddenly appeared hundred odd metres away. As for the circular fissure, it was already beginning to disappear, the four eyed monster stood up from the lotus platform, its figure was even larger than the eagle-humanoid monster, its right hand grabbed the sky blue combat knife from the platform as a shrill voice was emitted from its mouth: “Offer up the ‘Golden Core’ and I will leave a whole corpse!”

The eagle-humanoid monster lightly shook its head as it spoke: “Really overly arrogant…… Are those of the four-eyed race all boisterous and arrogant wastrels?” Its right hand expanded, stretching through space as golden dazzling lights flashed from its five golden claws instantly smashing towards the four-eyed dark skinned humanoid monster.

The four-eyed humanoid monster held the sky blue combat knife to forcefully defend himself from this golden pillar of light, a loud explosion could be heard as waves spread out in all directions creating large gusts of wind causing Su Yu, Fang Jiong, Qin Jiagui and the others to be sent tumbling away, the might behind this blow was simply astonishing.

Such might could certainly be termed as a real battle between god and devil.

Within the frightening energy waves, the roar of the four-eyed humanoid monster could be heard: “Leave the Golden Core and I’ll leave you a whole corpse!”

The sky was suddenly lit up by a blazing blue light, within the light, the figure of the four-eyed humanoid monster could be seen expanding as it lifted the sky blue combat knife, chopping down with a might that seemed as though it could sunder the heavens.

The eagle-humanoid monster seemed as though it did not wish to fight, it could even be said to be indifferent as its golden wings suddenly retracted to cover its entire body, its hands made a tearing motion towards the ground as a frightening fissure was suddenly created on the molten rock, its figure flashed as it swiftly disappeared into the fissure.

“Damn, don’t even think of escaping!” The four-eyed humanoid monster panicked as it hurriedly kept its sky blue combat knife, somersaulting as it returned to that immense lotus platform.

The lotus platform swiftly descended with a ‘Bang!’, descending towards the location of the disappeared eagle-humanoid monster. Swiftly thereafter, a pillar of light emerged as another ‘Sky Hole’ appeared, the lotus platform immediately entered the Sky Hole and the fissure began to slowly seal up, returning the scene to its original appearance as though nothing had occurred earlier.

It was only after a long time before Su Yu and the others began to wake up from their stupor, they had been sent flying away by the frightening energy fluctuations and all of them cut sorry figures. Su Yu climbed back up, looking at the position where the monsters had disappeared before looking over at the golden feather within his hand.

This golden feather seemed to be left behind for Ah Da, it seemed to have some relation with Ah Da and had passed this golden feather to Su Yu.

Although this golden feather seemed to be forged from gold, it was actually soft yet firm to the touch, light as though it could float in the wind.

Why would the eagle-humanoid monster leave behind this golden feather? What could this feather do?

Su Yu did not understand but was able to feel slight energy fluctuations of destruction contained within the golden feather.

“Ah Da, wake up, stop feigning death. The eagle-humanoid monster earlier seemed to recognise you, do you know it? What was that fellow? Is he also a fifth lifeform? Or is he from the Golden Race of legends? Or is he merely a high tier monster? Or even the perfect lifeform that you’ve been talking about?” Su Yu shook Ah Da as he hurriedly questioned.

Ah Da slowly opened its eyes with much difficulty before replying: “I don’t know.”

Su Yu was depressed as Qin Jiagui began to question Xiao Wei: “What were those two monsters? What is the four-eyed race? You can at least tell us this much right?”

Xiao Wei had a bitter smile on her face: “If Xiao Wei knew, she would definitely tell all of you…… however…… I also don’t know anything at all.”

Looking at the expression on her face, it was clear that she was really clueless. Qin Jiagui patted the dust off his body as he sighed, the longer they stayed in this damned place, the more mysteries and questions there were.

“Don’t think too much about it…….. Even Ah Da is unclear on these matters, everyone should just focus on what’s important before you……” Ah Da said in a weak voice: “The most important thing is…… to find fire energy crystals, if this continues to drag on, Ah Da will really die……”

Su Yu looked at Ah Da’s appearance, he was unsure if Ah Da was unwilling to speak about it or truly ignorant about the situation, however, it was right about one thing, the matters that had occurred earlier were clearly above their grade, even if they knew, it was simply useless. To the two monsters, they were merely a bunch of ants, in that case, they should just do what they needed to do, acquiring the fire energy crystals to allow Ah Da to recover, allowing it to send them back to their original world.

Once they returned to their world, those monsters would no longer have anything to do with them, in that case, they would not even need to be bothered about their backgrounds.
