Chapter 181 Cang Kun
Chapter 181 Cang Kun
The drop was even more direct than when the bellbird flew over the snow-capped peak. Guan Xun lost his balance and fell down unexpectedly.
Her expression turned cold, and spiritual power surged from her palm, transforming into a long hook with sharp edges on all sides. Without hesitation, she forcefully swung it towards the creature's back.
There was a muffled thud as the sharp weapon pierced flesh, and the hook tip pierced deep into the skin, sliding with inertia and leaving a deep bloody mark.
Even so, it looked like only a minor abrasion, with not a single drop of blood appearing.
Guan Xun turned his head to look at the sea below, which was gradually receding into the distance. He clicked his tongue a few times. This thing's skin is really thick. In any case, his body finally stopped falling.
The pain from the piercing in his back wasn't intense, but it felt like being crawled on by ants. The enormous creature swayed its body a few times and couldn't help but roar, "Damn human, what did you do to my back!"
"Who told you to shoot straight up into the sky?" Guan Xun gripped the long hook tightly and pulled hard, the hook tip plunging even deeper. She stood firmly on its back, a cold smile playing on her lips. "I can't fly, so I'll just have to bear with it."
The creature trembled with anger and abandoned its tirade. Instead, it increased its speed and plunged into the clouds.
Thunderclouds rolled in, instantly blurring the surrounding view.
Amidst the layers of clouds, there were even flashes of lightning that stung the eyes.
Guan Xun frowned and simply closed his eyes.
With her vision completely gone, her hearing became more acute, and faint muffled thunderclaps kept ringing in her ears.
She couldn't help but be a little surprised. The clouds were strange; she hadn't been able to detect any movement at all when she was below the island.
Moreover, unlike the frigid sea below, a faint warmth could be felt lingering around here.
She didn't know how much time had passed until the thunder stopped, a sudden heat enveloped her ears, and the flashes of light disappeared, replaced by a bright glow. Only then did she open her eyes.
The bright light was dazzling, causing her to avert her gaze. After her eyes adjusted, she slowly looked up and was greeted by a vast expanse of blue sky.
Cloudless.
The sky above the clouds...?
Just as she was in shock, the enormous creature beneath her feet swayed violently, its vertical trajectory instantly stabilizing.
Guan Xun immediately felt as if his internal organs were about to be shaken out of his mouth; this damned guy was definitely doing it on purpose.
Before she could recover, the creature beneath her feet hurtled forward at breakneck speed, the strong wind whipping her cheeks and making her clothes cling to her body.
She took a deep breath, and her spiritual energy immediately surged forth, dispelling all the strong winds that were blowing, before she felt her body relax.
Looking around, the sunlight was bright and warm, the clouds formed the earth and the flowing clouds formed the sea, and white mist swirled around... There was another world hidden in the sky.
Just as she was staring in astonishment, a huge shadow loomed over her from above, and she tensed up, quickly looking up.
It was a creature exactly like the one I was stepping on... and there was more than one; there were so many that I couldn't even count them.
They are of different sizes and are weaving through the clouds.
Guan Xun felt a throbbing pain in her temples. With so many enormous structures above her, it was the first time she had ever felt so small...
Seemingly sensing the emotional fluctuations of the person on its back, the creature snorted and unexpectedly began to speak to her, its tone carrying an unspoken contempt: "You, a human, should feel honored to be able to enter such a region."
Guan Xun raised an eyebrow, glancing sideways at the man's shiny forehead: "It's just a place where demonic beasts gather. To us humans, it can only be called a dangerous place. How dare you be so confident?"
Upon hearing this, the enormous creature abruptly stopped, its head twisting violently as if trying to catch a glimpse of the person on its back.
However, since the head and body are connected, and there is no neck, how could a creature possibly turn its head?
Its pectoral fins trembled with rage: "Damn human! What did you just say? A monster? Who are you calling a monster? You're the monster!"
His enraged appearance reminded Guan Xun of Bai Ze in the past...
She wasn't annoyed; a mocking smile played on her lips. Although she couldn't distinguish between divine beasts, she could easily tell the difference between demonic beasts and mythical creatures.
The creatures swimming around were undoubtedly demonic beasts.
"What are you shouting about? No matter how well you conceal your aura, a demonic beast can never escape the eyes of a spirit master."
Upon hearing this, the enormous creature swung its massive tail, venting its discontent: "Humans have always been arrogant, unaware that even demonic beasts are divided into high and low classes. If you continue to compare us to those lowly demonic beasts, I will..."
He stopped mid-sentence.
It seems that the people brought by the deity's personal command cannot do anything about it.
It felt a tightness in its chest, and its breathing became rapid with anger: "Hmph, in any case, there are different kinds of demons and beasts, and they are called Cangkun."
Cangkun?
Guan Xun was slightly taken aback. He had never heard of such a monster before, nor had he read about it in any ancient books in the Celestial Realm, and his mother had never mentioned it either.
"Though it's strange, it's still a demonic beast," she murmured.
The enormous creature trembled with rage. They had already told them not to compare them to demonic beasts and had clearly stated the terms, but the other party still kept calling them demonic beasts.
Just as it was about to argue further, a dark shadow loomed down from ahead, blocking its path.
It braked abruptly, and when it saw the figure in front of it, it immediately cursed angrily: "Da Hong? What are you doing? You scared me half to death!"
Guan Xun slightly raised her chin and saw a huge eyeball with its pupils suddenly shrinking and revealing hostility staring straight at her. She immediately took a few steps back.
This demonic beast must be of a higher rank, for it appeared before her without warning in the blink of an eye; its speed was truly terrifying.
"What is this thing?" Its pupils darted left and right, scrutinizing the small, pebble-sized figure before it. Then, its tone turned cold, and it shouted sharply, "Human?"
"Xin Er, how could you bring humans here! The gods and true lords have issued a decree that any trespasser will be killed without mercy, don't you know that?!"
It was furious, and its eyes suddenly widened.
Guan Xun instantly felt his whole body tense up, as if a hundred-pound boulder was pressing down on him, and his foot, which was on Xin Er's head, sank deep into the ground.
Although the oppressive feeling was far less than that of the Imperial Tutor, it was not to be underestimated. Her face turned slightly cold, and a sense of vigilance rose in her heart. Just as she was thinking of a countermeasure, she noticed that the ground beneath her feet was shaking.
Xin Er swung its huge tail and stepped back, instantly making Guan Xun feel a significant reduction in the oppressive feeling around him.
It looked up and said, "How could I not know! I patrol diligently every day, and I remember all the rules by heart!"
"Then how do you explain this human?!"
"Uh, she was personally ordered by the God to be brought up here."
Da Hong instantly doubted whether he had heard correctly: ?
