The old beggar let out a long howl and instantly vanished from his spot.
Li Xiaobai was stunned. That old man was too fast, even a Lamborghini couldn’t catch up to him.
However, it was quite obvious that the old man was sly and cunning, intending to use him as bait to draw the attention of Flesh Mountain, thereby buying time for his own escape.
Immediately, he threw several top-quality Spirit Stones into the mailbox, and the car sped wildly down the road, shattering any tentacles that tried to block its path, crushing the rocks into dust, and forcibly blazing a trail out of the mountain cave.

The other cultivators inside the cave were invigorated as if they saw hope.
“Quick, follow the mount up front!”
“With the Divine Beast leading the way, we will definitely be able to escape successfully!”
“Damn it, how can there be so many tentacles here!”
The cultivators displayed their Divine Skills, all following closely behind the Lamborghini. Despite being much slower, the giant stones and tentacles were all broken by the car, making it much safer for the people behind.
Li Xiaobai shook his head and sighed, “These could’ve all been opportunities to make a fortune, but I acted too hastily and didn’t consider things thoroughly. If I had negotiated the price for saving our lives in advance, it would have been another windfall!”
Liaowang: “…”
Su Mei’er: “…”
Yu Sanbian: “…”
Captured talents: “…”
The sports car burst out of the cave, and there was a bright light outside, returning to the beautiful scenery of clear mountains and waters, which contrasted starkly with the gigantic tentacles waving wildly behind them.
After continuing to run for a while, Li Xiaobai stopped the car, turned around, and observed the situation of the cave.
At this glance, he immediately got goosebumps all over. The stones and dirt on the cave had completely fallen off, revealing its true appearance.
The densely packed huge flesh balls and tentacles were slowly wriggling, forming a massive cave entrance stretching over hundreds of miles, with a rotten and foul smell spreading all around. The heart of Flesh Mountain was fully revived, and its powerful heartbeat was making people’s eardrums buzz.
Most of the tentacles seemed to still be in the adaptation stage, trying to rise, their movements sluggish.
However, at this moment, a considerable number of tentacles were attacking the people nearby.
This Flesh Mountain was very different from those seen in the sect; it might lack intelligence, but it was crazed, and its tentacles shot out, stabbing at the cultivators fleeing in panic.
“This seems to be…”
Someone from within the car, among the talents, wanted to say something but was silenced by a look from Yunkun.
“Boss Li, this mount of yours is quite something. What breed is it?”
Before he knew it, the old beggar had leaned in closer again.
“One of a kind in the world,” Li Xiaobai said, annoyed.
“Hehe, Boss, you truly are a rare talent. Not only are you an expert at bathing, but your beast taming skills are top-notch as well,” the old beggar flattered, sticking his head closer to the car window, sniffing excitedly, clearly attracted by the Huazi fragrance inside.
His gaze locked on Ji Wuqing: “This chick’s got something, it even has an automated feeding function.”
“Cluck, cluck, you old fart, you’re the chick, your whole family are chicks!”
Ji Wuqing bristled, pecking fiercely at the old face that was poking into the window, but instead of retreating, the old beggar seemed to enjoy the sensation even more.
Moving closer, he could feel that refreshing scent even more intensely.
“`
Inhaling a puff of the smoke actually cleared his Spiritual Platform and temporarily sharpened his insight; it was truly magical.
“Hehe, kiddo, what’s that in your mouth? Give this old beggar a lick too?”
“Old man, what is your cultivation level? Your strength is astonishingly powerful,” Li Xiaobai passed over a Huazi and asked.
“The sun rises from the east, and only I am invincible!”
The old beggar copied the gesture, lit the Huazi, took a small puff, and looked exceedingly comfortable.
“Giggles, dare to claim invincibility before me? Since the heavens and earth were created, I have never known defeat. You mere mortals dare to show off your meager skills before me! I, Ji Wuqing, am the first to challenge you!”
Ji Wuqing selectively forgot about the previous experience of being killed. After dying once, it seemed to have gained an even greater mysterious confidence, perhaps because of the increase in strength.
Li Xiaobai pulled him aside and continued to ask, “What realm is the Flesh Mountain in?”
“Petty thugs, I can extinguish you with a flick of my hand!”
The old beggar savored the Huazi, rubbing his gums arrogantly, with complete disdain.
Li Xiaobai was speechless; just now, you were the one running away the happiest.
This old guy was also the type who bragged without drafting his tale.
Behind them.
The colossal Flesh Mountain fully awakened, its countless tentacles waving, lifting the core heart area and heading towards the location of Li Xiaobai and the others.
At the same time, a terrifying blood-red mist instantly spread throughout the Tianbei Secret Realm, containing centuries or even millennia of collected resentment and negative emotions.
Enveloped by the Blood Qi, the cultivators felt a chill in their hearts and became irrationally irritable.
“Not good, this is the Flesh Mountain’s miasma that corrupts people’s minds!”
“Quick, escape! There is such a massive Flesh Mountain hidden here; we might need to mobilize the core strength of our families to eradicate it!”
“Indeed, report to our families immediately. This matter concerns the safety of the divine spirits on the Immortal Spirit Continent and must not be left to roam freely!”
The cultivators fleeing in all directions seemed to have angered the heart of the Flesh Mountain. In the void, the large chunks of flesh quivered. The flesh ball tentacles, with tricky angles, pierced accurately into the bodies of many cultivators.
The tentacles wriggled wildly, and bodies turned into piles of white bones in an instant.
Meanwhile, a mass of tentacles suddenly burst from the ground, aiming their pungent odour directly towards where Li Xiaobai was.
“Take this from your old beggar, one club strike!”
The old beggar howled, pulling out a huge Wolf Fang Club from God-knows-where. It swelled in the wind and with one sweep, he shattered all the nearby tentacles.
Li Xiaobai’s face darkened; the old beggar’s place of hiding his weapon was truly unique and extraordinary.
“Damn, my strength has waned.”
The old beggar muttered to himself,
As swathes of tentacles fell, the distant Flesh Mountain sensed the anomaly here and began slowly moving toward Li Xiaobai’s location.
“Old master, well done, let’s quickly finish off these night crawlers and show them the true power of a senior master!”
Li Xiaobai was very excited; he saw many cultivators had perished on the ground, their Space Rings now belonged to nobody and awaited someone fated to find them.
The old beggar was formidable; as long as he could hold off the Flesh Mountain, Li Xiaobai could sweep through the battlefield in the shortest time.
“Just a mere Flesh Mountain, not worth mentioning!”
The old beggar was still arrogant, swinging his club at the incoming tentacles, but this time, the expected scene where the tentacles snapped off did not occur. Instead, the old beggar was sent flying through the air and crashed onto the body of a Lamborghini.
Watching the swiftly encroaching tentacles, the old beggar turned around abruptly and frantically pounded on the car door.
Amidst everyone’s astonished gazes, he panted, “No time to explain, let the old beggar get in the car!”
