Chapter 2281: Gold-devouring Rat!

Chapter 2281: Chapter 2281: Gold-devouring Rat!

Hearing Zhou Yu’s voice, calm as water.

Only then did Yue Shan and Yu Ruo react.

At this moment, their eyes were filled with intense shock.

Wasn’t Zhou Yu at the Early Stage of the Void Refinement Realm?

Yet in less than the time of one incense stick, he consecutively killed four Demon Beasts at the Early Stage of the Void Refinement Realm, and one at the Late Stage.

Moreover, these five Demon Beasts all bore the bloodline of Cun Wu.

Their strength far exceeded Demon Beasts of the same level.

If they hadn’t seen it with their own eyes, it would be hard to believe.

Yue Shan was shocked but.

After all, he did not know Zhou Yu’s capabilities.

However, Yu Ruo was even more shocked.

Because she had previously understood Zhou Yu’s capabilities, knowing he single-handedly wiped out hundreds of experts from the Divine Horn Clan and two Giant Battle Spirit Boats.

Yet even so, she realized at this moment that she had underestimated Zhou Yu’s strength.

Now, seeing Zhou Yu leading the way into the distance.

The two took a deep breath and immediately caught up.

After killing these five Demon Beasts, the road ahead was unexpectedly smooth; about two hours later, they left the area shrouded in Demonic Qi.

Then, Yue Shan took the lead again, continuing along the pre-planned route.

And as they left the area.

Elsewhere.

A Spiritual Light rapidly flew in from afar, and in the blink of an eye, it reached the entrance of the area shrouded by Demonic Qi.

Then the light paused, revealing a Demon Beast looking like a fox.

It was Jiucheng.

Jiucheng surveyed the area shrouded in Demonic Qi before starting to cast a spell.

A moment later.

A cluster of red light suddenly appeared in front of her.

Then it spread out, transforming into strands of red threads, shooting into the area shrouded by Demonic Qi from different directions.

After completing all this, Jiucheng waited silently in place.

About a quarter of an hour later, suddenly, several strands of red threads flew out from the area shrouded in Demonic Qi.

Jiucheng opened her mouth, instantly devouring these threads.

A moment later, a sharp light flashed in Jiucheng’s eyes.

"That person did enter this area."

"However, this area seems to be the domain of those beings with Cun Wu’s Divine Blood."

"These beings are hot-tempered, violent in nature, and likely will not let that person pass easily."

"Chances are, they might fall here."

Thinking this, Jiucheng took a deep breath.

"Better go in and take a look."

With that said, she flickered and flew into the area.

Before long, Jiucheng arrived at the place where Zhou Yu had battled those Demon Beasts.

At this moment, her eyes were full of apprehension as she inspected the surroundings.

Then, she cast several spells.

After completing these spells, a serious expression appeared on Jiucheng’s face.

"Could it be that those Demon Beasts... were all killed?"

"It’s impossible..."

"Judging from the residual aura here, that person seems to have already left."

"That damned fellow, really lucked out."

After a brief self-talk, Jiucheng once again determined the direction Zhou Yu had left in and pursued.

...

In a certain area within Black Gold Canyon.

The terrain here was extremely peculiar.

Like a deep pit created by a meteor impact.

On the pit walls, there were countless dense indentations.

And within these indentations, there turned out to be thousands of Demon Beasts.

These Demon Beasts quietly gathered here, all facing the center of the pit.

There, lay a giant strange stone.

Scattered around the stone were several smaller fragments.

On one of these fragments was a rodent-shaped Demon Beast.

Most striking was its fur, which was golden.

Very similar to the legendary Gold-devouring Rat.

And all the surrounding Demon Beasts showed fear upon seeing this Gold-devouring Rat.

At this moment, a giant green bird rapidly descended from the sky, landing in front of the Gold-devouring Rat.

"Master, as per your request, thousands of Demon Beasts from the western region have been summoned."

Upon hearing this, the Gold-devouring Rat nodded, then said to all the Demon Beasts around:

"Currently, those outsiders are searching for the Cannibal Immortal in the outer regions of Black Gold Canyon."

"I order you to kill them all, seize their Magic Disc, and then find the Cannibal Immortal."

"This is something Lord Tie Kuang wants, and I will personally devour anyone who dares linger."

"Go."

Following the Gold-devouring Rat’s command, the thousands of Demon Beasts within the pit immediately dispersed in all directions.

And the Gold-devouring Rat also joined the search.

After all the Demon Beasts had left.

Not far from the pit, a tiny finger-sized insect appeared on a tree.

Its eyes flickered with red light.

Then, astonishingly, its form exploded instantly.

Next, in a certain mysterious place within Black Gold Canyon.

A burly man was undergoing closed-door cultivation.

At this moment, a cluster of red light suddenly appeared in front of him.

The man abruptly opened his eyes and immediately grasped the red light, then released his Divine Sense to investigate.

Moments later, a look of puzzlement appeared in the man’s eyes.

"Cannibal Immortal?"

"What is Tie Kuang doing?"

"Lord from the Demon Clan is soon to descend, yet he’s mustering such a large force to find this Cannibal Immortal?"

"Could it be, this thing..."

Thinking this, the man appeared to ponder.

His face became inscrutable.

Soon, he used Divine Thought Communication.

A woman quickly appeared behind the man.

"Master!"

The woman knelt on the ground, speaking respectfully.

The man spoke in a deep voice:

"Red Silk, have there been any updates regarding Tie Kuang and Red Eye?"

Red Silk immediately responded:

"Master, no news has emerged about them yet."

"They have not reached Demon Abyss."

Upon hearing this, the man mused aloud:

"What on earth are those two doing?"

"Could it be they’re undertaking something I am unaware of?"

Red Silk quickly asked:

"Master, has something happened?"

"Have you received any word?"

The man spoke in a deep voice:

"Tie Kuang’s subordinates have mobilized thousands of Demon Beasts to locate the Cannibal Immortal."

"Red Silk, you must immediately set out and investigate this matter."

"Discover what that Cannibal Immortal is, what they’re cooking up?"

Upon hearing this, Red Silk promptly and respectfully replied:

"Yes, Master!"

...

In the forest outskirts of Black Gold Canyon.

A Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator was engaged in combat with a Demon Beast at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm.

Though this Demon Beast was only at the Peak of the Nascent Soul Realm, it possessed very formidable Divine Skills, especially its sharp claws, which always seemed to tear through the air.

The Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator’s Magic Treasure was severely damaged in its spirituality.

The cultivator gritted his teeth, ready to deploy his most treasured technique.

However, just then, a large mass of black clouds suddenly appeared in the distance.

At first, the cultivator didn’t pay it any mind.

But as the clouds approached.

He saw that hundreds of Demon Beasts were flying toward him.

His expression changed dramatically.

Without a second thought, he decided to flee.

But it was too late.

In the next moment, the black clouds swept through, and the Divinity Transformation Realm cultivator was instantly killed.

Subsequently, a Demon Beast found a Magic Disc from his corpse and took it directly...
