Chapter 2052 Creatures Of The Rift
Davis and Evelynn entered through the rift and exited when they flew forwards, stumbling upon the same barren ground. But at this moment, they saw about ten to fifteen mindless savage beasts, disfigured humans with the lower bodies of spiders, roam around as though scrutinizing for something.
Instantly, they got sight of them entering and rushed towards them without a care for their lives.
*Screech!~*
Their voice sounded horrifying and grating as they made their way towards them. However, the moment they opened their mouths, a dark web encroached towards them, intending to trap them before they could apparently escape through the rift.
"It seems that they retain some battle instincts."
Davis waved his hand, causing the flurry of dark webs to disintegrate upon being ignited with his crimson-gold flames. When the flames cleared, the bunch of mindless savage beasts leaped towards them and brought down their sharp legs, intending to cut them down.
However, they all fell one after another as though it was written in some book of death, but when they fell on the ground, blood-splattered as their heads separated from their bodies. Their spider legs twitched for a while before they all stopped.
Davis turned to look at Evelynn's four spider sickles that rescinded back into her purple robe before he visibly gulped.
"That's so scary, Evelynn..."
"Hehe~ You jest."
Evelynn giggled before she had Wisteria feast upon their corpses. Clearly, they acted here like they were here for a trip, almost acting like a newlywed cultivator couple. Nonetheless, they both took a look around for the moment, trying to find some clues before they confirmed that there was nothing worth investigating.
"There are only two rifts here, one for going back and one for continuing further."
Evelynn uttered, causing Davis to nod, "Right, this should make it somewhat easier to us, but if we're unlucky, we'll meet with more than ten rifts past this location."
"Don't jinx it." Evelynn rolled her eyes.
They continued onwards as Wisteria quickly ate the corpses of the mindless savage beasts. When they stepped out of the next rift, their brows lifted almost simultaneously.
"Quick, the rift is closing!"
"That's the only path further!"
"Tch, wasting the vitality you stole from others like that... what a waste- I guess not."
Myria clicked her tongue in annoyance before she looked at the blood that was being absorbed from the ground. She smiled, abruptly disappearing before their very eyes.
"Huh? Where'd she go!?"
The Malignant Gold Tail Scorpion appeared shocked before it sensed a hint of pressure above its head, causing its eyes to tremble. Its body shuddered, causing it to open its mouth as it began to flail around.
"Save me!"
A vine hurriedly hurled towards Myria before it even shouted, causing her to cleanly dodge as she performed a black flip, descending as she retreated from the magical beast.
"Ahahaha! That's right! Run...! Otherwise, the fiendish tree behind me will- AH!?"
The Malignant Gold Tail Scorpion surged with excitement when it suddenly felt its head being pierced. Its eyes quickly noticed that the white-haired woman was still there in front of its gaze. However, her expression became amused.
"So you've finished using the scorpion for your gains? It's so like you to be predatory in nature, Wretched Rotten Nightmare Tree."
"Hmm? You know about my origin?"
The Wretched Rotten Nightmare Tree's bloody eyes squinted while its expression was warped into one of pleasure while sucking the vitality from the Malignant Gold Tail Scorpion. The magical beasts' eyes became one of horror, but it was powerless to resist as other vines further wrapped around its legs while the white-haired woman had also destroyed its stinger.
"Oh, right. Unlike magical beasts, plant lifeforms like you don't have inherited memories." Myria lightly smiled, "Although it seems you do know how to use your techniques as though since they are second nature to you, plant lifeforms."
"Human, do you not understand my words? I asked if you know of my origins or not!?"
The Wretched Rotten Nightmare Tree's grating voice became wrathful, causing the barren land to tremble as vines spread out, surrounding Myria. However, it didn't attack her, seemingly waiting for her answer.
"Indeed, I do know about your origin."
"Then speak. Depending on the value of the information you provide me, I'll consider letting you leave in one peace."
"Heh." Myria snickered at the Wretched Rotten Nightmare Tree, "Your origin... is to become an ingredient for a pill that I would have to concoct for my body once I reach the immortal level. After all, the fruits you cultivate possess an incredible life essence that when concentrated to the extreme surges with a bit of essence seething with death energy."
"I'm sure that he wants your fruits as well."
"Die!"
Myria giggled before her figure disappeared, causing the Wretched Rotten Nightmare Tree to lash out in pure wrath!
