Chapter 4
If a Ninth Ring Sage meets a star beast, only by running can you keep your life . Of course, you must run really fast, and the star beast must not be going after you specifically .
That’s why Feng Chenzong ran as soon as he heard the cry .
Lei Xinfeng celebrated . It was so fortunate he didn’t go look . If he looked, he wouldn’t even get the chance to run .
Clatter, clatter…
Lei Xinfeng peeked behind him and uttered in awe, “What the hell, that’s insane!”
Following his utterance, the others also looked . Each of them were stunned by the sight .
The stone eggs on the ground jumped at least seven meters high . It was rhythmic as if the ground was a pan and someone was moving it up and down . It wasn’t the impressive part . What was most frightening was that in the distance, countless stone eggs flew into the sky and began to circle in a single direction . At any given moment, more stone eggs were drawn into the cyclone .
It was like a tornado, but no one felt any wind . The stones, using an incomprehensible method, were orbiting in the air, faster and faster .
It took only a glance but he understood that once the stones reached a certain speed, he couldn’t block it even if he gave it his all . “If someone goes inside… . it’s a mill . No matter what goes it, it will all be reduced to dust!”
“Stop fucking look and run!” Feng Chenzong snapped .
They were a few thousand meters away from the cyclone, and the further they ran, the safer . As for what kind of star beast was in the center of that cyclone, they didn’t really want to know .
The twelve of them ran as fast as they could . Some scattered practitioners also ran toward them from behind . It was already fortunate if two or three practitioners out of a hundred managed to escape from within that cyclone . However, it also meant that the survival rate was only two or three percent . It was a heavy loss .
Lei Xinfeng pushed his Lightning Stamp to the limit . The speed was nothing to joke about . Even Feng Chenzong who already had one foot in the realm of Monarchs, could only barely keep up . Originally, he thought that Lei Xinfeng will drag them down, but now he knew that it was they that were dragging Lei Xinfeng down . That brat was too good at running, flying like lightning .
A few minutes later, the twelve of them managed to escape the danger zone, coming to a safe place .
Seeing the spectacular scenery from afar, Lei Xinfeng said, “Let’s go back soon . It’s too scary here . ”
“I sent the pinpointing signal to Master again,” Feng Chenzong said .
Lei Xinfeng had no idea how he did it, but it wasn’t important . With Feng Chenzong here, they didn’t need to worry about being able to go back . Each of them craned their neck to see the terrible events from where they came from .
They discussed among themselves, but they couldn’t guess what kind of star beast it was .
There were many kinds of star beasts . There are powerful ones, and there are normal ones . This one might be one of the powerful kinds . It only took its stone controlling power to completely obliterate a Ninth Ring Sage . Only Monarchs can contest it .
Lei Xinfeng secretly lamented . He’d only gone to two outer worlds, but he didn’t have a good time in either . It was way worse than the original world . At least in the original world, a Sixth Ring Sage was already quite safe .
Clattering sounds came from afar, the sounds of stone eggs rubbing against another .
“No wonder there are so many stone eggs! That’s how they’re made! What a powerful star beast!” Lei Xinfeng exclaimed .
When those that escaped after them saw their group, they all took a wide berth, even if they had to detour . It took a super powerful group to retain twelve members after the current events . Of course, they had no idea that Lei Xinfeng’s group never had to go through the mill .
After roughly half an hour, a Hidden Gate suddenly appeared . Feng Chenzong breathed a sigh of relief . “It’s here!”
However, Guqi and Wuyang both appeared . Guqi waved his hand and the Hidden Gate vanished . “Discovered a star beast, did you? Hehe . ”
Lei Xinfeng hurried came forward . “Greetings, Master, Grandmaster . Eh, Master, how did you know about the star beast?”
Wuyang peered at the stone egg cyclone . “You came here through your master’s Hidden Gate, so he will naturally notice such a powerful disturbance . He came to find me . Indeed, there is a star beast . ”
At that moment, Hidden Gates started appearing one after another . Those disciples that managed to escape all sent out pinpointing signals, attracting these Monarchs to this world .
Although star beasts are powerful, they are too attractive a prey to ignore by Monarchs . If they could take down a star beast, even if they had to share, the rewards they would reap is significant .
“Ah Zong, did you succeed?” Guqi asked .
“I think I did, but I’ll have to see when I get back . I’m not sure if I really did,” Feng Chenzong replied .
Guqi nodded . “You can go back first . It’s too dangerous to remain here . ”
Lei Xinfeng was originally in a rush to leave, but since both Master and Grandmaster is here, he felt a sudden reluctance to leave . He wanted to see how a Monarch fought . He thought that Master and Grandmaster seemed to want to hunt the star beast .
Guqi saw Lei Xinfeng’s expression and knew what he was thinking . He smiled . “Don’t even think about it . If you want to see a Monarch’s battle, you will only have one chance, after which you will die . Be good and go back . ”
Grandmaster Wuyang also laughed . “Your master is saying that for your own good . A Monarch’s battle won’t help you even if you see it . However, if you get caught in it, then you’re dead for sure . Why take the risk?”
Lei Xinfeng then understood that he didn’t even have the right to watch .
Feng Chenzong didn’t want to remain any longer . He’d obtained the sky crystal and he could only think about finding it after he got back . It will take at least several dozen days to find the sky crystal hidden among all the other debris, even if he had helpers . He had taken in the terrain in a radius of several meters . The only reason that he could do such a thing was that a Ninth Ring Sage’s space was large enough .
Lei Xinfeng probably couldn’t . His Hidden Lun space was already filled with resources . At least a third was food and water .
Guqi opened the Hidden Gate . “Alright, go back!”
Lei Xinfeng didn’t bother scheming to stay anymore and was the first to one . The others followed . ”
When the last Sage left, Guqi smiled . “Master, let’s go see . It’s been a long time since I’ve seen a star beast . They’re too hard to find . Who would’ve thought that the outer world Ah Zong found had a star beast hidden in it? Haha, I bet the monarchs that got the message are rushing over as we speak . ”
“No rush . I think this star beast can’t be underestimated,” Wuyang warned . “Wait for the other Monarchs to start . There’s no need to fight to be first . ”
Guqi nodded . “Might as well . Let’s see how strong this star beast is . ”
Slowly, more and more Monarchs appeared . Many of them knew each other, especially Wuyang . If Lei Xinfeng was still here, he’d probably be scared half to death . When many of the Monarchs saw Wuyang, they all politely called him ‘Senior . ’
There are already some Monarchs that couldn’t hold it in and invited some friends to test out the star beast .
Among the Monarchs, one of them wielded a giant hammer . He violently threw it . “Open for me!”
The giant hammer grew to a size of a dozen meters and flipped end over end into the stone cyclone . Like rain on palm leaves, after a round of clattering, a gap opened in the curtain of spinning stones, allowing the people outside a hint of the existence within .
It only took a glance for Wuyang to say, “So it’s a stone star beast . No wonder there are so many stone eggs . Interesting . Also, this star beast… it’s an infant beast . This might be one of the stone star beasts’ nests . ”
“Is it worth it to fight?” Guqi asked .
Wuyang hesitated, then said, “As long as it’s a star beast, then it’s worth it . However, I have a slight suspicion . This is a youth, so it has parents . If they’re here, then this will be difficult . An adult star beast’s defense is quite perverse . The average Monarch will have a hard time killing it . ”
“You’re here,” Guqi said, smiling .
“I’m not too interested in stone star beasts . If it’s others, I might be more interested,” Wuyang said .
Guqi smiled . “I know you’ve killed star beasts before, but I haven’t . I want to try it this time . ”
“It’s not easy to kill star beasts, but this youth star beast… with your strength, even if you can’t kill it, you can run . I’ll guard for you, but you’ll have to share with me the resources you get . ”
Guqi didn’t hesitate . “Of course . ” With his master helping, he won’t be in any life-threatening danger . Of course he’ll agree .
A few Monarchs already began their attack . Although Guqi that he wanted to go, he didn’t move . His thoughts were simple, which was to let the other Monarchs test the waters . If the stone star beast’s strength is exceedingly average, then he might not even need to give a hand . As long as the star beast dies, then he will get a share . Even Wuyang will get a share, given his rank and power . No one present will underestimate him .
Boom! Boom! Boom!
A few Monarchs cleaned out the spinning stone eggs . When it reaches a certain speed, even a Monarch must dodge . Fortunately, the stone star beast wasn’t yet mature so it will take a few days before the speed reaches that critical point . That gave the Monarchs a window of opportunity .
