206 Where Did All the Demonic Beasts Go?
The Penglai Immortal Beasts couldn’t help but speed up. Everyone could hear the whistling of the wind in their ears as if a knife was cutting their faces. The void behind them was also getting faster and faster, drowning out all the scenery.
Ye Xuan and the others seemed to be racing with the god of death. The sky seemed close, but in fact, it was far away. Finally, they felt a faint barrier.
Shen Changling and the others couldn’t help but say in surprise, “As expected, there’s a problem here.”
Just as Ye Xuan had guessed, the sky here wasn’t real. The power from the sky bounced the Penglai Immortal Beasts back. Fortunately, Ye Xuan was quick to react, or he would have fallen into the void turbulence behind him.
“What should we do? Even if we find this exit, we can’t get out now.”
Even if the skeletal dragon had died, the remaining energy here was enough to seal this space and bury everyone. No one would know what had happened here.
No one would ever disturb the long sleep of the skeletal dragon.
Shen Changling suggested, “Why don’t we work together to knock it away? Now that the skeletal dragon has dissipated, the power of this space has probably been reduced by a lot.”
Ye Xuan shook his head and said, “You can’t do that. If that’s the case, we really won’t be able to leave. Haven’t you noticed that only this part of the sky is complete?”
With his reminder, everyone realized that when everything was swallowed by the void, the entire space was filled with cracks and turbulent flows, but the sky was intact. It was really a little odd.
After all, only the sky survived everything. Even the collapse of space didn’t affect it, which was enough to show its uniqueness.
“If we act rashly, I’m afraid we won’t be able to get out.”
In just a few moments, the ground had been occupied by nothingness. It was only a few steps away from the group, like an unfathomably deep black hole.
They could even feel the cold and deathly aura coming from inside. No matter how strong a creature was, it would be powerless to save it once it was devoured.
They had originally thought that they would be lucky enough to survive after the skeletal dragon disappeared. They did not expect that they would still be unable to leave. Everyone could not help but fall into despair.
Ye Xuan recalled the power he had obtained in the vortex. If this space existed because of the existence of the skeletal dragon, then there should still be a chance of survival.
He secretly activated the Hetu and Luoshu Diagram. Part of his spiritual power gathered in the middle and he pointed it toward the sky.
The originally indestructible sky actually cracked open when he pointed at it lightly. Before everyone could exclaim how Ye Xuan did it, the void had already spread over.
“Let’s go!”
With Ye Xuan’s shout, everyone ran towards the crack. As the sky and earth spun, the surrounding scenery suddenly changed, and it was the mine they had first arrived at.
Everyone still had a lingering fear. It had been too dangerous just now. If they had been a second slower, they would have been devoured and assimilated, staying in that space forever.
Before they could catch their breath, countless rocks fell down again. This mine should have some connection with that space, otherwise, they wouldn’t have been teleported there.
“It seems like we can’t stay here for long. Let’s quickly leave.”
Fortunately, it was very easy to get out this time. There were no unforeseen incidents. Wu Hai, who had been possessed earlier, had long disappeared.
Not long after they left, the mine collapsed. At the same time, a rumbling sound came from not far away. Ye Xuan actually felt the ground shaking.
He Feng exclaimed, “Look over there!”
Not far away, a few continuous mountain peaks seemed to have been flattened, becoming extremely flat. In the blink of an eye, they had become plains.
To be more precise, it sank into the ground like an earth dragon turning its body. Countless giant trees that covered the sky died because of this, and countless birds were startled.
Shen Changling could not help but mutter to himself, “Could it be that the collapse of that space affected them…”
“This might be the burial ground of the skeletal dragon.”
Ye Xuan guessed that this place must have been set up or guided by an expert, who combined reality and illusion and used the demonic beasts’ forest as a base to open up a separate space for the skeletal dragon to lay in its slumber.
In this way, it would not be easily discovered and disturbed. However, for some reason, the skeletal dragon had mutated and awakened again after a thousand years. The array had probably weakened.
Therefore, when that group of people excavated the mine, they alarmed the skeletal dragon, which caused a series of events that happened later.
Soon, the surrounding terrain changed. It was as if a hurricane had swept through, and many trees were uprooted.
Unexpectedly, with such a huge change happening in the demonic beasts’ forest, many demonic beasts should have been alarmed. After all, many of their nests had collapsed.
But now, it seemed that there were only a few of them, which was really unusual.
“Strange, aren’t there a lot of demonic beasts living here? Where have they all gone to?”
Along the way, Ye Xuan and the others didn’t even find a few of the common herbivorous demonic beasts, let alone large demonic beasts. The demonic beasts have all disappeared at the same time.
“These demonic beasts aren’t in the forest. Where could they have run off to? It can’t be that all of them have run out, right?”
This may have been said casually but the listeners considered the possibility of the situation mentioned.
Ye Xuan’s footsteps stopped as if he had thought of something, and his expression suddenly turned ugly. He exclaimed, “Let’s hurry back to Changping!”
The crowd still didn’t understand why he had such an expression and couldn’t help but ask, “Elder Ye, what’s the matter?”
“It’s very likely that those demonic beasts have all gone to Changping!”
