Chapter 1512 - 1492: Mountain Cannon Demon Beast

Yang Xiao continued to walk forward. He didn't know how far he had gone or how many turns he had taken. He started to doubt whether he had estimated wrongly. Maybe Xing Zhe was still near the cave where they had rested earlier. Should he turn back to look for him?

"Bang, bang, bang!"

Suddenly, a noise came from the front, shaking the stone walls slightly.

"What's going on?"

Yang Xiao's heart instantly tightened.

"I'll kill you, damn it!"

A familiar voice came over.

Yang Xiao was overjoyed—that was Xing Zhe's voice.

Yang Xiao immediately grabbed his sword and charged forward, shouting as he ran:

"Xing Zhe, is that you?"

"Yang Xiao, come quickly and save me!"

Xing Zhe's voice was full of excitement and thrill, along with some terror.

"Don't panic, I'm coming."

Yang Xiao ran about fifty meters further and saw at a turn in the cave that Xing Zhe was fighting with a monster. Xing Zhe was covered in blood, in a sorry state, being attacked by the monster and retreating continuously.

Yang Xiao didn't have time to identify the monster, he directly charged over, pouring a surging burst of evolution energy into his longsword, immediately unleashing a fierce sword qi.

"Swoosh!"

Yang Xiao sliced through the air with his sword, striking at the monster in front of Xing Zhe.

That monster seemed to realize Yang Xiao had charged over and instantly activated a black defense light screen.

"Swoosh!"

With a soft sound, Yang Xiao's longsword split open the monster's defense light screen and swiftly slashed down like lightning.

"Swoosh!"

The longsword instantly cut through the monster's body.

"Aow—"

The monster let out a miserable scream, raising a sharp claw to grab fiercely at Yang Xiao.

Yang Xiao could feel the immense power of this claw.

However, he didn't flinch, using his longsword to block it smoothly.

"Swoosh!"

With a soft sound, he directly cut off the monster's claw.

The monster let out another round of miserable screams.

Beside him, Xing Zhe roared with anger, delivering a punch.

"Bang!"

The monster's massive body flew back dozens of meters, crashing into the stone wall, creating a dent in the hard rock.

Yang Xiao didn't wait for the demon beast to fall down and instantly leaped forward, pouring all his genetic evolution energy into the longsword.

A sword qi, tens of meters long, surged out, slicing through the air as it swept past the demon beast's head like lightning.

"Swoosh!"

The demon beast's head was directly severed, falling into the underground river water, staining it red.

Yang Xiao sighed in relief, quickly turning to look at Xing Zhe,

"Xing Zhe, how are you?"

At the moment, Xing Zhe was standing with difficulty against the stone wall, taking out a small bottle from his space ring, pouring out two healing pills and placing them into his mouth.

A moment later, Xing Zhe exhaled deeply.

"Oh, I nearly died here. Yang Xiao, fortunately, you arrived in time, otherwise you wouldn't see me anymore. Originally, you trapped me in Cultivation Field 101, now we owe each other nothing."

Yang Xiao chuckled and said:

"At this time, you're still settling accounts with me? I haven't even asked you yet, why did you leave me and run so far on your own?

Also, what kind of demon beast was that just now?"

Xing Zhe laughed bitterly and said:

"It's a long story. While you were asleep, I was bored, so I thought to walk around and went less than a hundred meters forward, then I saw a pair of glowing eyes in the dark. I acted on impulse and chased over,

This guy turned and ran as soon as I chased it, which made me angry, and without considering anything, I directly engaged with it."

"You're really not afraid of death. You didn't even call me. At least I could help you.

"I didn't think that much at the time. I was afraid this demon beast would escape, so I chased it directly. I didn't expect the further I chased, the farther I got. By the time I wanted to return, I didn't know how far I had run, so I gritted my teeth and chased on.

"Since this demon beast is afraid of you, why did it seem like you couldn't defeat it?"

"Sigh, to be honest, the evolution level of this demon beast is about the same as mine; it might even be slightly lower. But this demon beast has a particularly strong defense. Its defense light screen is one thing,

It also has a layer of extremely rigid scale armor on its body. I punched it, and the demon beast just took a few steps back, without being hurt critically, so I kept getting passive in the fight against it, gradually suppressed by the demon beast,

Just before you came, I had been hit several times by this demon beast, getting injured somewhat."

Seeing that Xing Zhe was covered in blood, with tattered clothes and several external wounds on his chest, Yang Xiao immediately said:

"You call this just a minor injury? In this state, don't push yourself too hard. Check properly to see if any internal organs or bones are injured?"

Xing Zhe chuckled at Yang Xiao, waving his big hand,

"It's nothing; I'm not that fragile. Right, let's go see the demon beast's corpse together. After fighting for so long, I still don't know what kind of demon beast it is."

The two walked over and saw that half of the demon beast's corpse was floating on the water, approximately twenty to thirty meters long, with a whole body covered in dark scale armor.

Yang Xiao lifted the demon beast's head from the water, looked at it, and said:

"This thing looks like a pangolin, what do you call it?"

Xing Zhe glanced at it and said:

"No wonder this guy's defense is so strong; it's actually a Mountain Cannon!"

"Mountain Cannon?"

"Yes, we call this kind of demon beast a Mountain Cannon. It can easily traverse through hard mountain bodies. This guy has evolved into the Emperor Level Realm, which is very rare. I've never seen an Emperor Level Mountain Cannon before; normally even Empire Level Advanced realm Mountain Cannon demon beasts are scarce."

Yang Xiao looked at the Mountain Cannon demon beast's corpse in the water, then at the underground river tunnel, and another light screen flashed through his mind, silently exclaiming "Not good!"

Yang Xiao stored the corpse of the Mountain Cannon demon beast into the space ring, turned to Xing Zhe and said:

"Xing Zhe, let's go, we might be in trouble."

Yang Xiao didn't wait for Xing Zhe to respond and ran along the underground river tunnel they had come through.

Xing Zhe was stunned for a moment, immediately chased after him, asking while running:

"Yang Xiao, what happened? Why are you panicking? Didn't you kill that demon beast?"

"If I tell you that this demon beast is just a smaller one among them, and there are stronger Mountain Cannon demon beasts, maybe at Emperor Level Middle Stage Realm, Emperor Level Advanced Realm, or even Saint Level Realm, would you believe it?"

Upon hearing this, Xing Zhe said fearfully:

"Don't scare me, how could there be so many super Mountain Cannon demon beasts? These Emperor Level Mountain Cannon demon beasts are already very rare."

Yang Xiao didn't argue, while running, he shone the flashlight on the tunnel's stone walls ahead.

"Xing Zhe, look at the stone walls on both sides of this underground river tunnel, what do you see?"

Xing Zhe glanced at it, bewildered, and asked:

"What do you see?"

"Look at the marks on the stone walls; they all face one direction, as if carved with a knife. And take a good look at the diameter and shape of this underground river passage, don't they seem pretty consistent?

Everywhere is around ten meters wide, and five or six meters high."

Xing Zhe felt somewhat terrified inside at this moment.

"Yang Xiao, are you saying?"

"That's right, I estimate that there are even larger Mountain Cannon demon beasts in this underground river tunnel. This underground river passage is likely dug by that gigantic Mountain Cannon demon beast, which is why this section of the underground river is so uniformly wide and narrow,

The carved marks on the walls are probably left by the Mountain Cannon demon beast while tunneling."
