Chapter 408: The End of Black Double-edged Sword
Black Double-edged Sword raised his sword again, stabbing towards the underside of the demonic beast’s tail. However, the demonic beast seemed to sense this, roared, and turned away from the stone peak.
At the same time, its severed tail whipped downwards, wrapping around Black Double-edged Sword’s arm and dragging him towards the demonic beast’s nest.
Black Double-edged Sword’s stab missed, and he cried out, “Little brother, save me!”
Seeing this, Mo Ming cursed fiercely. No longer caring about anything else, he charged at the demonic beast with his sword drawn. Madam Xiao and Mo Ming, seeing the situation, didn’t say a word and rushed towards the demonic beast.
Little Fairy and Molly, trapped by the demonic beast’s surrounding pack, couldn’t break free and could only watch. Fortunately, the surrounding demonic beasts were young and not as aggressive or experienced in combat as the main beast, so they dared not act rashly.
Mo Ming, with his superior Qing Gong, flew to block the demonic beast’s path and once again thrust his spear towards its left eye. The demonic beast, having suffered at Mo Ming’s hands before, tried to turn and evade. However, due to its injuries, its speed was considerably slower than before.
Its left eye was pierced by Mo Ming’s long spear. At the same time, Madam Xiao’s treasure sword struck the demonic beast’s tail fiercely, shaving off scales and revealing flesh.
Madam Xiao once again rode onto the demonic beast’s neck, raised the torch in her hand, and smashed it down hard on the demonic beast’s head.
Lin Ye’s Hell Sword, aimed at a protrusion beneath the demonic beast’s tail, pierced into it. This close-quarters combat scene deeply captivated Little Fairy and Molly below, leaving them stunned.
It was at this very moment that sounds of sorrow and anger echoed from the demonic beast’s nest – the mournful cries of the Beast Mother and the enraged roars of Beast Number Three.
The demonic beasts surrounding Little Fairy and Molly, hearing these sounds, unexpectedly burrowed into the crevices of the stone piles and vanished without a trace.
Critically injured, the demonic beast tried to struggle free and return to its nest, but it couldn’t hold on. With a piteous howl, it fell from the sky, crashing heavily into the stone rubble below and rolling desperately.
Clearly, Lin Ye had struck the beast’s vital point. Bright red blood flowed ceaselessly from the wound beneath its tail, instantly dyeing a large pile of stones in front of them crimson.
Unfortunately, the demonic beast’s tail had not released Black Double-edged Sword; it still tightly coiled around him. It tightened its grip, constricting Black Double-edged Sword’s breathing. His eyes widened in terror, and he tried to speak, but no sound came out.
The demonic beast lay motionless on the rubble, only emitting low moans.
Lin Ye, Madam Xiao, and Mo Ming walked forward to examine it. Black Double-edged Sword had stopped breathing. However, the demonic beast’s tail was still tightly wrapped around his waist.
The scales on the tail, like sharp knives, stood erect and dug deeply into Black Double-edged Sword’s waist muscles, creating a horrific scene of flesh and blood.
Little Fairy and Molly came over and saw this, feeling a sense of sadness and pity for Black Double-edged Sword.
All of this was completely unexpected. They hadn’t anticipated that Black Double-edged Sword would still choose to cooperate with them at such a critical moment, fighting the ferocious demonic beast together.
Seeing Black Double-edged Sword’s tragic state after death, Lin Ye suddenly felt a wave of exhaustion. He slumped onto a nearby stone, saying nothing.
But two lines of bitter tears clearly streamed from the corners of his eyes. He felt it wasn’t worth it for Black Double-edged Sword, seeing this as the consequence of helping Fei Bu Fan. It was a pity he had realized it too late.
By this time, the sky was gradually darkening.
The battle with the demonic beast had lasted for several hours, a thought that sent chills down their spines.
If Beast Number Three and the Beast Mother had abandoned their nest and attacked them, none of them would likely have survived. They had truly experienced the full extent of the demonic beasts’ power.
What terrifying situations might unfold next was truly unpredictable. But one thing was certain: they had jointly killed a companion of the demonic beasts. The Beast Mother and Beast Number Three would certainly not let this go.
Perhaps even now, the demonic beasts were gathering, discussing ways to exterminate these humans.
Before the sky completely darkened, everyone discussed and decided to retreat to a cave behind the cliff. The cave was hidden behind the rubble and concealed by a large boulder, making it imperceptible from the outside.
Black Double-edged Sword hadn’t discovered them coming out from there before, and how he had vanished into thin air was a mystery. If Black Double-edged Sword had found the secret cave, he would have chosen to escape through it immediately.
Alas, he lacked such luck.
Lin Ye looked at Black Double-edged Sword’s corpse and said, “He looks so pitiful. I’ve decided to remove his body. You all go in first. No one is to follow me. Don’t worry, I’ll be fine. I’ll join you soon.” Madam Xiao knew that once her son made a decision, no amount of persuasion would change his mind. Her son’s personality was just like his father, Xiao Yi – stubbornly resolute.
After thinking for a moment, she decided to follow her son’s wishes and nodded, saying, “Son, please be very careful. If the situation turns bad, retreat to the cave immediately.” Lin Ye replied, “Don’t worry, Mom, I’ll be fine.”
Mo Ming also agreed with his decision. Little Fairy and Molly were even more supportive.
They had never opposed any decision Lin Ye made.
However, after entering the cave, Little Fairy still worried that Lin Ye might fall prey to the bizarre demonic beasts.
Her mood became unsettled.
Seeing that everyone was safely inside the cave, Lin Ye took his sword and walked towards Black Double-edged Sword’s body.
To his surprise, Black Double-edged Sword’s corpse was tightly entangled by the severed tail of the dead demonic beast. The knife-like scales were interwoven and dug deeply into Black Double-edged Sword’s body, making it impossible to detach them no matter how hard he tried.
Lin Ye also attempted to cut off the demonic beast’s tail with his sword. However, after death, the beast’s scales became even more rigid, and there was no point of entry beneath the tail. He could only watch helplessly as Black Double-edged Sword’s body became food for the demonic beast. Feeling indignant, he once again stepped forward and thrust his sword into the wound beneath the beast’s tail, vowing in his heart, “You killed our kind, and I will eat all your flesh.” He then used his sword to follow the wound upwards, attempting to cut open the beast’s abdomen. Unexpectedly, the wound suddenly split open, and a green, oval-shaped egg, about as thick as a bowl, rolled out.
Night had already fallen, and the green egg looked somewhat terrifying and bizarre. Lin Ye was startled. Just as he was about to retreat, the light before his eyes suddenly went black, and a pair of demonic beast foreclaws, sharp as steel hooks, appeared on the stone.
Seeing this, Lin Ye’s face turned ashen with fear.
The demonic beast’s foreclaws were deeply embedded in the stone surface, tightly covered by dark red scales, obscuring their true appearance.
