Chapter 246 Ch 246: Wreaking Havoc
Both Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er moved forward started to search for anything suspicious. Dragon Mountain.
Dragon Mountain was known as the most dangerous place in the entire Holy Beast Continent. Because of this, very few people come here to explore this area.
After searching for a while, they finally found a cave. Ye Xiao carefully examined the mouth of the dark cave and went inside. Su Xue Er also followed behind him.
Ye Xiao waved his hand and a small blue flame lit up his hand, illuminating the dim tunnel.
"Fire Soul!" Su Xue Er was surprised for a moment but did not find it strange as Ye Xiao was a Pill King so it is natural for him to have a fire soul.
In the dark tunnel, the only sounds they could hear were the echoes of their footsteps. Occasionally, a drop of water would fall to the ground, producing a crisp, tapping sound. Just from a brief scan, there was nothing peculiar about this underground cave.
"Aah!"
Not long after entering the cave, Su Xue Er, who was in the rear, suddenly screamed as she jumped forward.
"What happened?" Ye Xiao swiftly turned around and looked at her.
"I-I felt like someone touched me from behind!" Su Xue Er said while she trembled slightly, clearly embarrassed by her sudden outcry.
"Touched you?"
Before he turned back to the front, Ye Xiao thought of several possible reasons. He lifted his hand up and waved it behind Su Xue Er to see what is there under the light of Blue Fire Soul.
"There's no one."
"M-Maybe I am mistaken?"
Su Xue Er also turned around, her face was flushed, and she did not know what else to say.
Ye Xiao did not mind her. Soon, both of them continued walking. But after ten steps, Su Xue Er's voice sounded once again.
"Aahh!"
"Eh?"
Ye Xiao turned around again, failing to discover anyone behind her. But this time, he realized that Su Xue Er's face was incredibly pale. Her whole body began to tremble vigorously as though she had seen a ghost.
"N-no, this isn't right. There is something..! I don't know what it is, but I know it touched my back."
Before Su Xue Er could finish, Ye Xiao discovered fur-like mandibles stretching towards her neck.
"Don't move!" Saying this, Ye Xiao swiftly waved his hand past her collar as his hand transformed into Dragon's Claw, quickly pinning the perpetrator to the wall. At that moment, both of them finally saw its actual appearance.
It was half a meter big spider!
Although the spider's sternum was cleanly pierced through, it still desperately tried to twist its body to escape. Brown-coloured blood spurted out from its wound, and it sprayed out a white thread from between its chelicerae as though it was in severe pain.
The sight of it was truly too disgusting. This was actually a Fifth Grade Magical Beast, Stone Spider.
Without wasting any time, Ye Xiao used the Sacred Finger Art, and a finger of his Claw directly pierced in the spider's head, killing it on the spot.
"Sigh!"
After getting rid of the spider, he finally felt relieved.
"Miss Su, are you hurt? How do you feel right now?" Ye Xiao asked.
"I... I am alright!" Su Xue Er was really frightened because of this accident. She still could not get rid of the feeling of being touched again and again by something unknown in the dark.
Although now she knew that the thing touching her was actually a Stone Spider, she still could not get rid of that eerie feeling.
They have once again begun to walk in the dark tunnel under Ye Xiao's fire soul's guidance. Sometime later, they could see the light at some distance. When they passed the tunnel, they felt as if they just passed some sort of restriction.
Ye Xiao hurriedly turned back and was surprised that there really was a restriction placed here. This was a restriction to block something from going out. Seeing this restriction, Ye Xiao immediately became alert.
The presence of this restriction means there was something inside that should not go outside. It is a kind of seal, sealing something here, inside the Dragon Mountain.
After passing the tunnel, Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er appeared in a small forest. It is a small forest because the width of this forest was only around a hundred meters. As for the length, it was unknown.
Both ends of the forest were being blocked by the walls of Dragon Mountain. Just from looking at this forest once, one can tell that it was a manmade forest.
there was nothing else other than this forest so both of them entered the forest without thinking much. Ye Xiao was still alert as he could feel a sense of danger. He was feeling as if he was walking in the mouth of death.
"Dadum! Dadum!"
It has not been long since they entered the forest when the ground started to shake violently, and along with the shaking of the ground, countless footsteps started to echo throughout the forest.
"Beast Tide! x2" Both Ye Xiao and Su Xue Er said at once. This situation where the ground started to shake along with the sound of countless footsteps echoing, only Beast Tide can give birth to this kind of situation.
"So the restriction was placed here because someone did not want these beasts to go outside. I just don't know if it is just a coincidence or the Beast Tide was caused by someone after feeling our arrival."
Ye Xiao muttered in his heart. On the surface, he was alert. Not long after, both of them could see hundreds of beast running toward them at high speed while blowing the trees in their way into countless pieces.
The situation was very bad. They can not retreat because of the restriction on the mouth of the tunnel and in front of them was a beast tide. Ye Xiao also could not enter the Heavenly Pearl because of the presence of Su Xue Er after all the Heavenly Pearl was his greatest secret.
"Soul Destruction!"
Ye Xiao immediately used the most feasible method he has to deal with the current situation.
The moment he used the Soul Destruction, many beasts died but there were simply too many beasts so it was impossible for him to kill all of them at once.
"Fire Clones!"
"Soul Destruction!"
"Soul Destruction!"
"Soul Destruction!"
"Soul Destruction!"
"....."
"....."
Since he could not kill all of them at once, he used the Second Stage of the Myriad Fire Image Technique. Ten fire clones came out from his body and together with him, they started to wreak havoc inside the forest.
He has already cultivated the Second Stage of the Myriad Fire Image Technique to peak and can make ten fire clones. He did not get the chance to cultivate the third stage.
His fire clones started to run wildly inside the forest while burning the forest and beasts at the same time. Ye Xiao himself kept using the "Soul Destruction" again and again to kill the magical beasts.
There were simply too many magical beasts inside this small forest. Wait.. no, this forest can not be small as it contains hundreds of magical beasts inside it. Only the width of this forest was small but its length must be quite big.
Su Xue Er was only standing quietly while looking at Ye Xiao's madness with a dumbfounded gaze. She never knew Ye Xiao was this strong.
She had always heard that alchemists were weak in fighting because they mainly focused on learning how to concoct higher grade pills. Because of which, alchemists were unable to learn many martial arts skill that can help them fight.
But the situation in front of her was something she never thought of believing. Instead of telling those hundreds of magical beasts, Ye Xiao was looking more of a beast. He kept on killing the magical beasts while burning the forest with his fire clones.
Everywhere was only the scene of destruction. Su Xue Er was shocked to see that a person could cause this much damage to a forest, and it was still not over.
Only now did she understand how frightening Ye Xiao was.
In the past, Ye Xiao's cultivation increased dramatically but it did not cause any damage to his foundation, after all, his cultivation increased because of the devouring ability of the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon.
The information he got about the Heaven Devouring Divine Dragon was that no matter how much he devours, it will never cause any harm to his foundation.
Although after devouring the internal world of the Immortal Giant, the energy within his body became very violent and chaotic, it was still unable to cause any harm to his foundation. And since his foundation was not harmed, his fighting prowess increased rapidly.
With his current strength, he can fight head-on with a Fifth Stage Martial Saint Realm martial artist without transforming into a dragon.
