Chapter 1: Ancient Demon Corpse

No, Xiong, do not come here! Hurry and leave..." As Xie Qingdai fell, she saw Chu Xiong rushing forward, and immediately exclaimed. However, Chu Xiong's fall could no longer be reversed

The corpse of the nine-headed ancient demon beast quietly lingers at the mouth of the abyss, slowly emanating a faint white glow. Strange, malevolent!

The seven individuals seemed to struggle simultaneously for a moment, and then immediately returned to a state resembling that of walking corpses

The creature, resembling a giant tortoise with a head like a bird and a tail like a snake, is called the Xuan Gui

As everyone looked on, they beheld a gigantic white fox, nearly thirty meters in length, slowly rising. Strangely, the rear of the white fox was adorned with nine tails! The enormous, fluffy tails no longer swayed, yet they still exuded an indescribable grace and ethereal beauty, even a chilling elegance.

At that moment, Chuxiong suddenly felt a tremendous gravitational force pulling him fiercely from behind. In a state of great alarm, he exerted his utmost strength to barely resist that force.

However, beside him, Xie Qingdai was significantly weaker. She could not even withstand three seconds before letting out a terrified cry, her delicate body plummeting like a sharp arrow, directly falling towards the enormous nine-tailed white fox in the abyss.

Chuxiong's body plummeted rapidly, falling into the endless abyss

Chuxiong was astonished. The woman before him was the only one in this world for him. Since arriving in this world, Chuxiong had been unencumbered. However, ever since he met this gentle, beautiful, and slightly willful woman, his monotonous world seemed to have gained a few more colors.

Indeed, if one were to extract the long knife from the back of that dragon spirit and the arrows from the chest of the nine-tailed fox...! This is no longer merely wealth; it is a form of honor!

Upon hearing these words, everyone was greatly shocked. A tremendous force of four to five hundred thousand pounds could only harm the beast's physical body. And everyone knew that the judgment of this stern man would generally not deviate significantly.

I said, all of you leave! Chuxiong shouted coldly, pulling Xie Qingdai as they continued to climb towards the top of the cave. "In the face of such extraordinary phenomena, one should maintain a fundamental sense of reverence. If you harbor ulterior motives, are you not afraid of encountering unpredictable consequences?"

Amidst the astonishment, a monstrous beast once again emerged from the abyss

There are also the Taowu, Hundun, and Taotie

No, it is the soul snatching! It nourishes their souls and bodies with the souls of the living. I have seen such records, and they are truly terrifying. We must not stay, hurry and leave! Chu Xiong shouted loudly, pulling Xie Qingdai as they desperately climbed upwards.

This monstrous beast, measuring nearly 40 meters in length, is even more terrifying. It resembles a fierce horse, covered in scales, and is exceptionally ferocious. The serrated teeth in its mouth extend up to 2 meters, and its four hooves possess an impressive ability to soar through the clouds. However, judging by its current state, it must have endured immense suffering before its death

Subsequently, some strange and frightening individuals gradually appeared. Through the introduction by Chuxiong, everyone learned that

What is this again? Xie Qingdai couldn't help but ask Chu Xiong. Although he is her boyfriend, even she cannot fully understand this enigmatic man. However, she knows that aside from his astonishing strength, the knowledge he possesses is even more admirable to others.

At the mouth of the abyss, the enormous celestial hound is floating, seemingly waiting in silence

Suddenly, the forms of the seven-headed demon beasts rapidly shrank, becoming smaller and smaller, until they were the size of wolfhounds. As for the seven individuals on their backs, they naturally fell into the abyss, not even making a sound

The ancient beast, the nine-tailed fox! Chuxiong fixed his gaze on the creature and spoke slowly, "However, what is exposed on its back is clearly the tip of an arrow, indicating that the arrow pierced through from its chest. To pierce an ancient demon beast over thirty meters with a single arrow, what kind of power must that require?"

Without a moment's hesitation, he suddenly leaped down. He aimed to grasp Xie Qingdai's body as if seizing his own second life

Chuxiong and Xie Qingdai gazed into the distance, only to see that a more intense white light was emerging from the corpses of those demon beasts. Gradually, the white light enveloped the seven individuals.

Bewildered! After turning around, Chuxiong was taken aback. But it was too late; the other six also leaped down without hesitation or consideration. However, at this moment, their eyes had already become dazed, as if they had lost their souls.

Oh my God, what on earth am I seeing! A stunning woman in a tight leather outfit, tall and graceful, lightly covers her red lips, her face pale with shock! Those around her also display immense astonishment.

This expedition team of nine, having bravely ventured into the primeval forests of the Amazon in South America, traversed the wilderness of Africa, climbed Mount Everest, and rafted down the Yangtze River, has encountered every peril imaginable and witnessed every grand spectacle. However, this time, within the underground cave in Muye County, Emperor Tomb Province of Huaxia, they were utterly astonished by the sight before them

Chuxiong calmly said a word, pulling Xie Qingdai beside him as they ascended. However, the other individuals seemed to be influenced by the earlier woman's presence, gradually emerging from their shock into a fervent enthusiasm.

It is undoubtedly a knife mark

In the depths of the abyss, flickering lights emerged, resembling starlight. Gradually, those star-like glimmers rose upwards, supporting the corpse of a terrifying monster

This man, named Chu Xiong, is a key member of the expedition team, his previous identity shrouded in mystery. However, there is no doubt that Chu Xiong possesses the greatest strength among the entire team. Even his teammates are unaware of the extent of his power. In every major crisis faced by the team, he is indispensable in resolving the situation. Whether battling bison, tearing apart lions with his bare hands, or cleaving giant pythons with his sword, everything he accomplishes often exceeds the imagination of ordinary people

However, the seven ancient heads and the book monster surprisingly began to open their eyes, albeit in an exceptionally weak state

Before long, the corpses of the seven ancient beasts beneath them seemed to exhibit some signs of life. Gradually, the sounds of heartbeats and pulses emerged, resonating like thunder.

The seven-headed beast, having shrunk in size, trembled all over and transformed into seven strange beams of light, vanishing in a flash from the abyss, piercing through the cave's exit, and soaring into the sky, never to be seen again

The creature, resembling a sculpture yet possessing enormous horns on its head, is called the Gu Diao

Chuxiong's expression was grave as he said, "Perhaps it is the ancient demon beast Tianhao! According to legend, this creature devours humans, but its preferred food is—dragon brain!"

The giant beast, resembling an ox and covered in spikes, is called Qiongqi

Jiao Chi, the legendary ancient monster! However, to deliver a fatal blow with this strike, one would need to shatter the monster's meridians with immense strength. Perhaps this could only be achieved with a force of four to five hundred thousand pounds!" A tall and stern man shot forth a piercing gaze, "Moreover, this is predicated on the assumption that the monster possesses no other special abilities!"

However, the death of this celestial hound was even more tragic. A massive wound, over twenty meters long, nearly split it in half.

However, upon closer inspection, one can see that a heavy long knife is embedded in the back of this monster. The size of the long knife is no different from that of an ordinary sword, but it is evident that it was this very knife that ended the life of this primordial ferocious beast

Located 800 meters underground and surrounded by books, yet below lies an unfathomable abyss. The mouth of the abyss stretches 400 to 500 meters, deep and dark, resembling a giant dragon with its massive jaws wide open

Resurrection? Xie Qingdai was stunned

Priceless! Chuxiong sighed at the woman's greed, "In this lifetime, to encounter such a scene is already not in vain. Let us go!"

But who can wield such a world-shattering blow

The monster measures nearly 100 meters in length, its form resembling that of the legendary dragon, yet it lacks dragon horns. Its enormous eyes are tightly shut, and its several-meter-long fangs and sharp claws exude a fierce and domineering presence from the ancient primordial era. It quietly coils at the mouth of the abyss, appearing almost as a living entity

Everyone was utterly shocked. If the legend is true, then the colossal beast capable of devouring the brain of a dragon is undoubtedly the most formidable existence at the very top of the food chain in the vast world

"Look! Another one has appeared, my goodness!" The woman exclaimed softly once again. This woman is named Xie Qingdai, who joined this team with Chu Xiong and is also Chu Xiong's girlfriend. Although she has a somewhat delicate demeanor, she is undoubtedly a master of swordsmanship.

However, the other seven individuals seemed to have fallen into a state of obsession. Suddenly, the woman from earlier let out a gasp and unexpectedly leaped into the unfathomable abyss. The spot where she jumped was precisely on the back of the enormous black tortoise

Looking at this bizarre scene, another woman in the expedition team suddenly said, "What do you think the value would be if the long knife embedded in the corpse of that monstrous beast were to be extracted?"
