Otherworldly-Cultivator - Chapter 687: Their Situation I

Chapter 687: Their Situation I

.

On Nandao Island, the three old men are evading various types of beasts, including both land and air beasts, which continue to attack them with their respective elements.

“Damn it! Chen Li had just informed us about them, but now we’ve actually met them!” Zi Gang cursed as he used his lightning movement technique to run as fast as he could.

Beside him, the other two old men were also using their full speed to escape from the beasts’ pursuit, and Sikong Ye shouted at them. “Hey! It would be better if we split up! Whichever of the three of us manages to leave this island must go straight to Chen Li’s place on Beidao Island!”

“I think your idea is too bad, Old Ye! Let’s work together to stop those beasts from coming near us.” Ouyang Qibo then took several items out of his storage ring and threw them all behind them, causing the beasts close to them to immediately roll on the ground while wailing in pain. “Hahaha! I forged those items just for fun, but they are quite useful in such a situation.”

Seeing that, Sikong Ye also took out some ball-like pills, but their size was too big for pills. As he continued to run, he turned his head towards the beasts and threw them, scattering them in various directions.

*Boom… Boom… Boom…*

“Holy shit!”

Smoke billowed from the explosion, causing the beasts at the forefront to act strangely; even the beasts behind them collided with each other.

“What kind of ingredients did you use to make them, Old Sikong?”

“Hahaha!” Sikong Ye laughed at Zi Gang’s question. “I combined hallucination-inducing herbs with explosive powder that I discovered at the blazing volcano. Similar to Old Qibo, I created them purely for enjoyment, but I inadvertently produced an excessive quantity. Unfortunately, I never had the chance to test their effects, and this is my first time using them.”

“I see.” Zi Gang nodded in understanding and immediately pulled out his long purple spear, channeling his lightning into it and throwing it into the air. After that, he used his lightning technique, causing the clouds above the beasts to darken, and dozens of purple lightning bolts instantly rained down on them before electrocuting them.

*Zap… Zap… Zap…*

“Your lightning technique is as good as usual, Old Gang!”

Zi Gang shook his head at the two men. “Unfortunately, I can’t use that technique continuously, especially since it consumes a lot of my qi. Otherwise, my qi will be depleted too quickly, and I won’t be able to escape from those damn beasts. Anyway, it’s been a long time since I’ve been in a situation like this, and it’s making my spirits boil.”

“Haha.” Ouyang Qibo laughed upon hearing that. “The last time I encountered a situation as difficult as this was decades ago in the ancient ruins, and I always sought safety after many of my group members died there.”

“Hey, guys! Look over there!” Sikong Ye pointed towards a cliff and a narrow gap that only humans could cross. “I believe we can hide there, and those beasts won’t be able to chase us in there. However, we must distract them first, or those beasts will tell their master about our location, making it increasingly difficult for us to escape.”

After glancing at the cliffs, Zi Gang and Ouyang Qibo immediately nodded in agreement with Sikong Ye, and they hurried towards the location, using their items and techniques to distract the beasts.

“Let me take you guys there faster.” After saying that, Zi Gang immediately grabbed Sikong Ye and Ouyang Qibo’s shoulders, using his lightning movement technique to swiftly carry the two old men away. In addition, he also cleared away traces of his lightning qi, especially since some of those beasts have a keen sense of smell.

Sometime later, the three old men arrived at the cliffs, and they immediately entered the area in a hurry, especially since their distraction would not last long, or else those beasts would find them.

“Hah… Hah…” Zi Gang, who was running at the front, was panting heavily due to the side effects of his technique, and he immediately took some Qi recovery pills to restore his thinning Qi. “This path is very narrow, so those beasts won’t be able to catch up to us easily. Even so, we can’t rest now, and it would be better if we went deeper in.”

“Yeah, you’re right.” Ouyang Qibo replied as he ran behind Zi Gang, and he also consumed some Qi recovery pills. “Thankfully, Chen Li provided us with some effective pills, as otherwise, those beasts would have captured us long ago.”

“Hahaha.” Sikong Ye laughed in response to his words. “That kid is truly an extraordinary alchemist, and he seems to have an even more extraordinary past. Otherwise, those strong women would not possibly be so loyal to him, and any one of them could even destroy our realm without blinking, especially that white-haired woman named Xiao Shijian.”

After they ran for quite some time, the three old men finally reached the deepest part of the place, but they were faced with five different passages, which confused them.

“So which passages should we choose?” Zi Gang asked the two old men.

“Hmm?” Sikong Ye raised his eyebrows as he noticed those five passages. “Wait a minute; I’ll use something to check them all.”

“Yeah.”

Sikong Ye then took out five items, similar to beacons, and threw one into each passage at once. However, three of them died instantly, so they decided to avoid those three passages, but they were confused about choosing one of the last two passages.

Just as they were thinking about that, the three old men heard a strange sound from one of the passages, as well as a fairly loud slithering sound that they realized was a beast moving out of it. That’s why they immediately rushed into the last passage, especially since they could sense that the beast was much stronger than their combined strength.

Their choice proved to be correct, as a three-headed snake emerged from that passage, but its appearance was a bit strange, especially since one of its heads was a snake’s head. However, the second head was a wolf’s head, and the third head was a snail’s head. However, the situation for the three old men was still precarious, as the wolf’s head immediately sniffed towards the last passage, and the beast swiftly followed them.

Shortly after they left, a beast man jumped down from the cliff, followed by two people from the beast tribes. The beast man himself looks strange, especially since he looks like a dragon, but he has a purple scorpion tail at the end.

A beast man, resembling a lion, suddenly spoke to him, his entire body adorned with white fur. “Lord Xie Long! It appears that the three humans have awakened the three-headed snake, which is now pursuing them. Therefore, it would be prudent for us to refrain from pursuing them. Otherwise, we will face that crazy beast, and the poison of the third head can even dissolve metal.”

“You are right, Bai Sizhi. Even so, we will not leave this place, and we must ensure that they die at the hands of that beast first.” Xie Long then turned to the bear-beast woman and asked her a question. “Have you sent news of their presence to Fei Long, Xiong Yin?” “Yes.” Xiong Yin replied with a nod. “Fei Long has also given a reply, Lord Xie Long. However, he wants us to capture those three human men alive, so we must chase them, or they will die at the hands of that beast.”

After hearing that, Xie Long frowned. “Why does Fei Long want those three men alive?” “Fei Long did not give a specific reason.” Xiong Yin answered with a shake of her head.

A shadow suddenly appeared behind them, and a phanter beast man walked out from within it. “Lord Xie Long, I got information from Xidiao and Dongdao Islands, and they told me that there are many unknown humans entering the two islands. If my guess is correct, Fei Long probably knows that there are other humans coming to Beidao Island, and they came from one group, so he wanted us to capture them.”

“I see.” Xie Long nodded in understanding. “What about Huang Mo, An Bao? Did he discover that there were unknown humans on his island?”

“No.” An Bao responded by shaking his head. “I’ve contacted Huang Mo, but he said that no humans have come to the Myriad Demon Island.”

Xie Long jumped up the cliff again, and his subordinates immediately followed him. “If I remember correctly, the passageway is connected to that place, so it would be better if we waited for them there, and we would immediately capture them if they managed to escape

from that beast pursuit.”

“Yes!”

In an inn on Dongdao Island, three women were waiting anxiously, especially since their husbands had gone out to check on something because they had received the same message from Chen Li. Moreover, they had been gone for quite some time, but they still hadn’t

returned.

“Do you think something happened to them, Aunt Bailing and Aunt Shi? How about we go find them now?” Shen Linghua asked the two old women, Xia Bailing and Yu Shi.
