Chapter 117: Monsters from Another World
The red flames quickly filled the entire space, and even Shangguan Jiannan, who was at the edge, was not immune.
He hurriedly circulated his spiritual energy to resist, but in the face of this terrifying heat wave, his efforts seemed so insignificant.
The heat swept in like a violent storm, hitting him hard and throwing him out. He flew several feet in the air and finally stopped after crashing into the mountain wall.
However, even at this moment of life and death, Shangguan Jiannan's eyes never left the huge monster in the distance.
He was filled with shock and confusion. What kind of power was this? What secrets were hidden? He knew that this sudden change would completely change his fate and cognition.
An incredible red light suddenly burst out, instantly lighting up every inch of space around, completely drawing Shangguan Jiannan's attention.
In mid-air, a huge monster was floating leisurely. Next to it, a huge scabbard was like an island in the void. At the tip of the sword, thousands of golden rays of light were hanging down like silk threads, tightly wrapped around the strange creature shaped like a hill.
The creature was red as fire, and was more than ten feet tall. It was a rare two-headed giant dog! The scales covering its body were huge, several feet square, and looked even more ferocious under the red light.
The scorching heat emanating from his body seemed to be able to burn everything, making people's hearts palpitate.
Shangguan Jiannan stood at the edge, his eyes filled with disbelief and shock.
He swallowed hard, and after a while he managed to squeeze out a few barely audible words from his throat: "Monster from another world... Two-headed hellhound..." Even he himself found it hard to believe the authenticity of the voice.
The scene before my eyes was too bizarre and too shocking.
The flames that shot up into the sky actually came from the mouth of the two-headed hellhound; the rolling heat waves that filled the surroundings were also the fiery air that was exhaled and breathed in by it.
Shangguan Jiannan could only watch from afar. He could still see a head, but the whole body was hidden in the fog, which was frightening.
He felt as if he had lost control of his hands and feet, and he retreated involuntarily until his back was pressed against the cold wall and he could no longer take another step.
The powerful air waves coming from afar made his face pale and his heart was filled with unprecedented fear and awe.
"That scabbard... is it used to imprison this two-headed hellhound?" Shangguan Jiannan muttered to himself, his eyes full of disbelief.
The jet-black scabbard floated above the two-headed hellhound, like a towering mountain, emitting a vast and boundless aura, and a sense of oppression was overwhelming.
Golden light shuttled through, constantly entangling the two-headed hellhound, as if performing an ancient and mysterious ritual.
"Huff...Huff..." Shangguan Jiannan's breathing became heavy and rapid. He knew very well how terrifying this two-headed hellhound was - this alien monster that only existed in ancient books actually appeared before his eyes so realistically.
This shock and disbelief is enough to make him remember it for the rest of his life.
The huge creature stood like a small mountain, forcing Shangguan Jiannan to be certain of it - it was a two-headed hellhound.
The roar was deafening and made Shangguan Jiannan's heart surge. This scene left a deep impression on him and is difficult to erase.
The flames shot up into the sky and turned into a raging sea of fire, as hot as magma, and disappeared into nothingness in an instant.
After a few minutes, the flames gradually died down, the surroundings returned to silence, and everything returned to normal.
Deep within that magnificent palace, the heat was so intense that it threatened to burn the space itself to ashes.
In a corner of the hall, a shocking crack was torn by the fierce battle, and billowing heat waves continued to spew out from it, as if the gate of hell was quietly opened.
Huikong and Guo Polu, two powerful men, stood side by side. Each of their attacks contained the power to destroy the world, but it only made the cracks in the seal on the black scabbard more hideous, as if a giant beast was about to break free from its restraints.
Suddenly, the sky was torn apart by a dazzling red light. The light was so fierce that it looked like a volcanic eruption, with magma gushing out, and it rushed straight into the sky with a terrifying temperature that was enough to melt everything.
Upon seeing this, Huikong and Guo Polu retreated violently until they were dozens of feet away from the dangerous core area, then stopped, their eyes filled with shock and fear.
"This temperature is simply horrifying!" Guo Polu's voice was filled with fear that was hard to conceal. Even a strong man like him had to retreat when faced with such a scene.
The previous heat flow was still bearable, but the flames rising into the sky now were beyond human control.
Huikong looked even more solemn, his eyes fixed on the sea of fire, secretly worried about Shangguan Jiannan.
He whispered to himself, and although his voice was light, it revealed endless worry: "Shangguan Jiannan, can you be safe and sound in this fiery purgatory?" His face became extremely pale due to his inner anxiety, and his worry was beyond words.
And in that dark corner, Shangguan Jiannan leaned against the cold stone wall, his chest heaving violently, and every breath was accompanied by a heavy gasp.
He was surrounded by heat waves, as if he was in a furnace. The torment was indescribable.
In front of him, the huge black shadow that was looming - the two-headed hellhound, made him feel full of fear and anxiety.
"Two-headed hellhound..." Shangguan Jiannan muttered to himself. Even though a lot of time had passed, the fear was still deeply engraved in his heart.
He looked at the terrifying figure from afar, his eyes full of disbelief and shock.
"I actually encountered it here..." He exclaimed in his heart, but he didn't dare to move at all. He could only watch from afar, letting shock and fear intertwine in his heart.
In this hall engulfed in flames, Shangguan Jiannan's situation was precarious.
However, at this critical moment of life and death, he did not give up hope, but held the sword tightly in his hand, ready to meet the upcoming unknown challenges.
His eyes flashed with determination and indomitable spirit, as if telling the world: Even in this fiery purgatory, he would try his best to fight for a chance of survival.
Amid low and heavy gasps, waves of scorching air surged out from the direction of the two-headed hellhound like raging waves. In contrast, the corner where Shangguan Jiannan was located was swept by gusts of dry and biting wind.
In this claustrophobic underground space, every breath of the two-headed hellhound was accompanied by an explosion of power, as if it was going to tear this space apart.
Shangguan Jiannan pressed himself against the wall, not daring to move, for fear of becoming a victim of that violent force.
As time went by, Shangguan Jiannan gradually adapted to the darkness and began to catch vague outlines.
The huge monster was curled up like a hill not far away. Every breath was accompanied by a deafening sound, releasing a heart-pounding pressure.
In this depressing environment, the airflow was stirred into chaos, forming invisible vortices that rushed straight to the dome.
