Chapter 99: First Encounter with the Giant Beast

At this moment, Shangguan Jiannan's eyes suddenly focused. On the edge of the distant skyline, several blurry figures quietly emerged, like restless ghosts in the night.

Then, a thin and shrill wail, riding on the wings of the night wind, quietly penetrated into his cochlea, making his heart tighten.

"Alas, it seems that their fate is not optimistic either."

He sighed inwardly as he followed the figures closely, only to see them falling from nothingness, like chess pieces abandoned by fate, smashing heavily to the ground, accompanied by a series of heart-pounding howls.

Those people staggered to their feet, cursing continuously, as if they were filled with resentment at this unfair fate.

However, in this brief moment of respite, Shangguan Jiannan's pupils suddenly contracted, and an indescribable fear spread across his face.

Because, behind those people, the outline of a huge monster was slowly emerging, as if it was a giant beast crawling out from the depths of the underworld, bringing with it a suffocating feeling of oppression.

When the giant beast first entered the underworld, it was still somewhat confused and uneasy, but the fall of those figures became an opportunity for it to awaken.

Suddenly, an earth-shaking roar sounded, exploding in everyone's heart like thunder, carrying a strong smell of blood and terror, gushing out from the mouth of the giant beast.

Shangguan Jiannan's heart was filled with alarm and he said "not good" secretly. His figure turned into a stream of light and quickly retreated.

The giant beast opened its ferocious bloody mouth, its sharp fangs gleaming coldly in the moonlight, and transparent saliva kept dripping from its mouth, making a "hissing" sound as it fell on the ground, and instantly corroded into a cloud of white smoke, which was extremely terrifying.

The warriors felt this unprecedented crisis and even lost the courage to turn around and check. They only felt a chill running from the soles of their feet to the top of their heads. Fear surged like a tide. They all used their body skills and transformed into several streams of light, fleeing in all directions.

"Run! Run!" Shouts and screams intertwined and resounded through the sky.

These warriors who were able to step into the Netherworld were naturally extraordinary people, but at this moment, all their pride and confidence turned into the instinct to escape.

However, fate did not seem to let them off easily.

Just when they thought they had escaped to heaven, an even more violent evil wind came from behind, like a curtain of night suddenly falling, swallowing up all light and hope.

The bloody smell spread instantly, as if the whole world was dyed red.

Immediately afterwards, the desperate screams of those people rang out again, echoing in the dark sky for a long time.

Although Shangguan Jiannan was dozens of feet away, this scene still made him terrified.

He knew very well that in this land full of unknowns and dangers, the only way to find a glimmer of hope in this endless darkness was to keep moving forward and surpass himself.

Then, he quickened his pace again and shot towards the distance like an arrow.

Under the boundless sky, a huge monster quietly descended. Its figure was so majestic that it seemed to be able to block out the sun, moon and stars. Until this moment, Shangguan Jiannan's eyes completely captured the terrifying outline - a giant beast more than ten feet long, like the largest lizard in nature that was infinitely magnified, but with only three legs supporting its huge body, and every step shook the earth.

As it leaped down from the sky, its black and gold scales shone in the sun, like the brightest stars in the night sky, or like steel armor forged by the hands of gods, emitting a light that was both enchanting and majestic. In the eyes of the disciples watching from afar, this scene was like the arrival of the devil, which made people despair.

The giant beast swung its front claws suddenly, and the space seemed to be torn apart by it. With a deafening roar, a devastating force came down, and the dust and grass were instantly rolled up by this force, forming a chaotic vortex.

And those figures who originally tried to escape were easily wiped out like ants under this shocking blow, leaving only a mess to prove their existence.

Shangguan Jiannan couldn't help but gasp when he saw this scene, and fear eroded his heart like ice.

He knew very well that such terrifying power was not something that ordinary warriors could contend with.

In his horror, he had only one thought in his mind - escape, escape with all his might! With a "bang!", he stomped on the ground, mud splashed everywhere, and his figure flashed out like a ghost, rushing away into the distance.

Fortunately, he was still dozens of feet away from the giant beast and was in its blind spot, so he was able to temporarily escape its pursuit.

However, although the vast grassland is boundless, it is also full of dangers.

While Shangguan Jiannan was running wildly, his heart was unable to calm down. The terrifying image of the giant beast kept lingering in his mind, making him dare not slack off at all.

He knew that if he was noticed and caught up by the giant beast, he would have no chance of survival.

The whistling wind raged in my ears, as if even time was passing faster at this moment.

Shangguan Jiannan ran as fast as he could, and the distance of dozens of feet was forgotten in the blink of an eye.

But at this moment, a familiar roar sounded again, like the whisper of death, making his heart tighten.

"Oh no! It's catching up with us!" Shangguan Jiannan thought to himself. Looking back, he saw a blurry black shadow approaching at an alarming speed.

His face turned pale as paper in an instant, and his footsteps increased in speed to the extreme.

The sound of his heavy breathing echoed across the empty grassland; it was the sound of him racing against death.

In this race against time, Shangguan Jiannan can only rely on his own legs and his desire for life to fight against the almost invincible beast.

He knew very well that this was not just a contest of physical strength, but also a competition of will and courage.

And in this battle, he must win, because the price of losing will be his life.

There wasn't even a spark of resistance in Shangguan Jiannan's heart, only the thought of escaping was growing like wild weeds.
