Chapter 335 What kind of monster is this!?
In the thick fog-shrouded plain, Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun emerged, their brows furrowing as they scanned their surroundings.
The fog was mixed with energy, making it impossible to dispel. Although they were moving forward using their senses, unlike headless flies wandering aimlessly, the fog still severely obstructed their vision.
Fortunately, the terrain was flat; otherwise, even with their senses, reaching the center of the energy tide would have been extremely difficult.
"This fog is ultimately a problem."
Xuan Mo stopped, pondered for a moment, and then unconsciously turned his gaze to the only tree nearby.
"Fatty, let's split up. You fly up into the sky and take a look, while I'll go up there and see what's going on."
With that, he suddenly leaped onto the tree branch. He paused there, glanced around, and then appeared at the treetop.
Ma Hongjun, following Xuan Mo's instructions, unfurled his fiery wings and soared into the sky. His figure then disappeared into the mist of this forbidden area, vanishing from Xuan Mo's sight…
At this moment, standing atop the tree, Xuan Mo's gaze swept across the scene, only to be astonished to find it completely different from what he had seen outside. What appeared above was not an endless plain. The surrounding mist was even thicker, completely obscuring Xuan Mo's vision.
And Xuan Mo wasn't the only one who knew the outcome.
Just as Xuan Mo jumped down from the tree, Ma Hongjun's voice came from above him. With a flash of fire, Ma Hongjun had already fallen from the sky.
"Brother Mo, the situation up there is even worse than here. Forget about seeing anything; even our sense of our surroundings is greatly diminished by this fog."
Looking at Ma Hongjun, who was covered in dust, Xuan Mo surveyed the surroundings, stroking his chin with his right hand as he murmured.
"It seems this so-called fog isn't simple either. If so, it's probably formed by energy overflowing from the Dragon Graveyard. That's what created this suitable habitat for dragon-blooded soul beasts."
"So what should we do now? Should we continue advancing based on the strength of the energy tide center?"
Ma Hongjun said, fiddling with his arm towards Xuan Mo. "If we do that, it'll be difficult to deal with any soul beasts that attack us later, since we can't see them clearly."
"In that case…"
Xuan Mo began, but before he could finish…
Suddenly, a series of dense rumbling sounds came from ahead. To Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun, the sound was like lightning.
Xuan Mo immediately closed his eyes, focusing his mental energy and projecting it outwards towards the direction the sound came from.
Soon, he reached a conclusion.
"This aura isn't from a Soul Master. It's from the beast horde here."
Having determined the general situation, but with limited information, Xuan Mo locked his gaze on the large tree he had just climbed, and said without hesitation, "Fatty, you take off first!"
At the same time, Xuan Mo took a step forward, lightly touching the tree trunk with his toes, and climbed onto a branch of the adjacent tree.
He then stabilized himself on the branch.
"Judging from the sound, it's quite a large group!"
Xuan Mo raised an eyebrow. Judging from the aura, this group was indeed Soul Beasts. However, the soft yet dense sound indicated that the Soul Beasts weren't very large.
As the sound drew closer, Xuan Mo completely concealed his aura. After all, exposing themselves without knowing the enemy's situation was a major taboo.
As the sound approached, the Soul Beasts gradually revealed their true forms. When Xuan Mo saw them, the horror on his face was impossible to hide.
"Wait... this isn't a joke, is it!"
A nearly ten-thousand-year-old... Velociraptor!
The name of this soul beast instantly flashed through Xuan Mo's mind. Their appearance was so similar to what he knew, practically a copy-paste.
The only difference was that these were soul beasts.
But before Xuan Mo could finish his shock, this group of "Velociraptor"-like soul beasts swarmed towards him like a whirlwind.
And that wasn't all.
Xuan Mo sensed something was wrong. He could feel the deep fear within these soul beasts, their desperate attempts to escape. That's why they were fleeing in such a panic...
After a moment, seeing that the beast horde had passed, Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun released their auras and landed back on the ground.
"Brother Mo, what happened to those soul beasts just now?"
As they landed, Ma Hongjun sensed something was amiss and looked at Xuan Mo, wanting to know something.
Xuan Mo didn't hide anything and directly told Ma Hongjun his analysis.
"I'm afraid those soul beasts... were being chased by even stronger soul beasts."
As soon as Xuan Mo finished speaking, before Ma Hongjun could even react, the bone-deep fear of the soul beasts flashed through his mind, and his pupils contracted slightly.
Immediately, Xuan Mo grabbed Ma Hongjun.
"Fatty, let's go!"
Just then, before Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun could figure out what was happening, they suddenly realized that their previously bright vision had turned dark.
Then, a loud "crack" sounded.
"Boom!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the only large tree around them was crushed and collapsed to the ground.
Xuan Mo and Ma Hongjun instinctively looked up.
The next second, they were both startled.
A soul beast had appeared above them, and facing them was a massive head.
This head was slightly lowered, its eyes, as large as water tanks, looking at the two "ants" on the ground with suspicion.
"Holy crap! What kind of monster is that?!"
Ma Hongjun exclaimed instinctively, stunned.
Xuan Mo, seeing this, punched him without hesitation. He was now on high alert, his nerves completely on edge.
At this moment, because the only large tree that had been hiding its body had been broken by its own foot, the monster was now fully exposed…
