Chapter 173: The Desolate Beast Not of This Place



Those tentacles were resisting the "Heavy as Mount Tai" from Xiang Beifei, after all, Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power was limited, he couldn't control more, but the tentacles suddenly burst into flames with a "whoosh," igniting all the tentacles at once!

Suddenly, the area became a sea of flames, enveloping the little baby.

Xiang Beifei broke free from the tentacles and threw a punch at the little baby.

The baby's strength clearly surpassed Xiang Beifei's; it easily blocked his fist. However, Xiang Beifei didn't care whether it blocked or not, as the flames went straight for its hand!

"Waaaah..."

The little baby cried out in shock and anger, retracting its hand, while breath soil appeared in Xiang Beifei's hand, forming into a flaming machete, and he slammed it down with a bang.

It tried to resist again, but afraid of the flames, the breath soil machete took advantage of its moment of fear and slashed its shoulder, leaving a wound. Xiang Beifei's Spiritual Power quickly spread into it, and soon its whole body was engulfed in flames!

Waaaah...

The little baby screamed in terror, starting to fall downwards, and crashed to the ground with a thump. Various tentacles burst from its body, frantically trying to flee, but the flames caught and ignited them as well.

Once the baby was struck down, all the black, sharp, thin tentacles attached to the surrounding buildings rapidly withered, as if drained of their power, cracking into dead skin and vanishing into the air, disappearing without a trace.

Xiang Beifei couldn't fly yet, and without the tentacles to hang onto, his body began to fall as well, but fortunately, he reacted promptly, kicking off the wall and grabbing onto a crevice in the ruined building, bracing himself before hitting the ground.

"Phew... looks like I need to hurry and get Sword Flight on the schedule."

He gasped for air, knowing that falling from the sky would hurt if he couldn't fly.

"Are you alright?"

Fan Kai rushed over and helped Xiang Beifei up, quickly checking his injuries.

"I'm fine, that kind of large-scale flame takes too much effort."

Xiang Beifei rubbed his arm; with his limited Spiritual Power, it was very difficult to produce such powerful flames. Thanks to Elder Luo's seeds, otherwise, he wouldn't have been able to stand it, let alone confront this ghostly thing.

"You're too reckless! Charging out there alone," Sun Yushan said in a serious tone.

"At least, that was the only way I could think of," Xiang Beifei replied.

"So, is this ghostly thing eliminated?" Sun Yushan asked vigilantly, scanning the surroundings for traces of the tentacles, but all of them seemed to have crumbled to pieces.

The crying baby disappeared after Xiang Beifei struck it, but until now, they hadn't gotten a clear look at the actual appearance of the desolate beast masquerading as a baby.

"It's highly likely that it's dead; the baby was the entity itself," Xiang Beifei said. He felt it, just no desolate beast corpse was left behind.

"Let's not worry about that for now; it's more important to get out of here quickly," Fan Kai said, pulling Xiang Beifei, ready to flee.

But Xiang Beifei quickly stopped him, "Hold on, we haven't taken our Wen Lin yet!"

"You're still thinking about Wen Lin! In this kind of situation, it's more important to save yourself!" Fan Kai said with gravity.

"We might not necessarily need to leave; it should be safe here now."

Xiang Beifei contemplated for a moment, looking towards the building they had just visited, and said, "Those people wearing pioneer clothes inside the building just now seemed a bit strange."

His gaze followed the decrepit building, which seemed even more dilapidated, shedding dust and dropping stones.

Just now, Sun Yushan's hammer blow wasn't for play, it was the final blow to the already unstable stairs.

However, Xiang Beifei noticed there was still someone inside the building.

A living person.

——

——

A figure stood in the building that Xiang Beifei and the others had visited, staring pensively at the corpses on the ground.

The corridor was littered with horribly mangled bodies, those who had dressed in pioneer clothes and attacked Xiang Beifei.

"They were all pioneers who had perished before," the voice turned out to be Ye Changfeng.

In fact, he had been quietly following Xiang Beifei the whole time, as it was only Xiang Beifei's second time venturing into the outer domain, and Ye Changfeng was still worried.

Even though Xiang Beifei had managed during his first visit, this place was much more dangerous than before, so Ye Changfeng didn't tell the three of them and secretly followed.

Unexpectedly, on this second outing, the young man encountered such a troublesome desolate beast.

"You really managed to hold back from taking action just now," Longyuan Sword floated beside him, its Sword Qi scanning the entire building.

With a very serious expression, Ye Changfeng scanned the surroundings and said, "If they want to become qualified pioneers, they must face various unpredictable dangers themselves."

Actually, when they were trapped in a desperate situation, Ye Changfeng had been ready to intervene, but he hadn't expected Xiang Beifei to charge at the baby himself. He had intended to pull Xiang Beifei back, but Xiang Beifei used his own powerful and odd methods to defeat the tentacle desolate beast that was even stronger than him.

"That being said, how did this thing appear here? I thought they were supposed to be from the Tranquil Domain!" Longyuan Sword said with a heavy voice.

The Tranquil Domain was classified as the third level of danger in the exterior wilderness, while the place they visited this time only belonged to the first level, the Cultivated Domain!
