AST 697 – It's hard to find the Immortal Fox, The persistent beauty, Obscure Realm Heavenly Thunder Slash
"Alright!" Hai Dongqing responded after thinking for a while.
Qing Shui continued to stay here for one more night. He used that pressure pressure to refine the tendons and bones. He thought about the time when he ran into the Howling Moon Silver Ape in the Deity Cave. Yet, there wasn't anything here this time. This caused Qing Shui to feel really weird because there should be a Guardian Beast in this Deity Cave.
Last time, Qing Shui had a feeling that the Howling Moon Silver Ape should be the Guardian Beast of that Deity Cave. Unfortunately, he didn't really know what it was protecting. In the end, turned out it also didn't leave with Qing Shui.
Every Deity Statue was different. The only thing in common about them was that they were all treasures left behind by past warriors for destiny to decide their owners. As for the pressure released from it, it's a kind of test for the person who was about to possess it. It could also be said that the pressure was to ensure that the Deity Statue wasn't destroyed.
As for Guardian Beasts, they were likely to be demonic beasts tamed by experts while they were still alive. Soon, the duty of protecting the Deity Statue started being passed down generation to generation. It could also be that some of the beasts were forced to surrender in front of the intimidating pressure of the Deity Statue. They'd rather protect this place or maybe a certain thing here.
Of course, there was also the possibility that the previous Guardian Beast no longer existed and even now, there was yet to be any new Guardian Beast to replace it. It could potentially lead to lack of protections of the beasts here for a long period of time.
Hence, Qing Shui felt really weird. It might be that he managed to reach here at the right time, when there wasn't any Guardian Beast looking after the place.
Just like this, Qing Shui and Hai Dongqing stayed for one more night. Upon refining the tendons and bones this time, Qing Shui felt the toughness of his body had become perfectly stable.
Ang!
At this moment, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant outside let out a mad cry.
Qing Shui realized something was wrong. Normally, the Diamond Gigantic Elephant would only let out roars like this when it was facing formidable enemies as a sign of protest. Simultaneously, it did this to warn Qing Shui.
"Let's go out and have a look." Qing Shui told Hai Dongqing as he led her out of the cave.
As soon as they stepped outside, Qing Shui noticed that the Diamond Gigantic Elephant was staring far away into the distance. It didn't blink its enormous eyes even once as it shook its body restlessly and stomped the ground.
Qing Shui released his spiritual sense and sensed a formidable aura getting closer. He didn't dare to let his guard down.
At this moment, Hai Dongqing wore the Luan Silver Battle Armor while standing beside of Qing Shui. She was also looking far off into the distance. This time, she wasn't as nervous as before. She knew exactly why, it was all because of the man she had beside her."
Kong!
There was a loud roar coming from the distance. It seemed to be in reply to the Diamond Gigantic Elephant's trumpet. Very quickly, a black dot could already be seen. It was drawing close at such incredible speed.
Such incredible speed!
Once the enemy got closer, Qing Shui could clearly see its appearance.
This was a demonic beast which had a full body of snow white fur. It was about thirty meters long and the snow white fur across its body looked really neat. It looked tall and divine. Its pair of jade green eyes made it even more good-looking. It no longer felt eerie and frightening. This was the only demonic beast Qing Shui saw that was clean to the point where it didn't have any dust on it.
