Chapter 21: The Damned Mission
Late afternoon, Qinghe City Nie Family Grand Hall.
"Tribe leader, a thunderous roar has been heard from the autumn hunting grounds, it sounds like a high-ranking demon beast... we..."
"Since the Qin family established the Autumn Hunt, no one has been allowed to interfere with anything within the arena for three days. The Seven Elders won't have forgotten that." Qin Xiang Tian spoke calmly and composedly, but in his heart he was secretly delighted. To be able to unleash such astonishing power, probably only Qin Kun who had consumed the Liuyang Dan could do it. It seemed that his son's hands were finally free, and he had finally eliminated the greatest threat to his life.
"Inside are all the elites of the Qin family, the hopes for the future. Does the Great Elder want them to all die in there before he's satisfied?"
"The strong prey on the weak, and only the fittest survive. The Autumn Hunt is meant to eliminate the weak-minded and leave behind the strong. The Qin family has no use for useless people."
"You..."
"Alright, no more arguing." Qin Zhan Tian's voice rose slightly as he said, "The old ancestor's rules cannot be broken. If a fifth-tier demonic beast really appears, then it is fate. This matter will not be discussed again from now on, everything depends on their fate..."
——————————
The deafening roar in the forest grew louder and louder, the fierce beast released its earth-shattering power, leaving a trail of destruction wherever it went, shattering mountains and rocks, uprooting giant trees that pierced the sky, creating a ripple effect like a massive wave crashing out of the sea.
Its appearance is like a wolf entering a sheepfold, unscrupulous and sweeping all around.
The low-ranking demon beast was trembling with fear, letting out a low growl, and fleeing in disarray, without any order.
"What happened?"
Qin Kun stood on a giant tree, gazing out at the front, with yellow dust filling the sky, and couldn't see what was happening at all. He just felt that the atmosphere around him had completely changed, with an oppressive feeling coming from the front, and every step forward made the oppression heavier.
The low-ranking demon beast next to it buried its head and scurried around in a panic, its whole body trembling with extreme fear.
"Could it be that a high-level demon beast has appeared?" Qin Yang's eyebrows were knitted, and at this moment, his spirit was vigorous, the wound on his shoulder had healed, his internal energy had recovered, and his eyes had become extremely cold.
"It shouldn't be, we haven't even reached the Kunlun Mountains, how could there be a fifth-grade demon beast." Qin Kun was somewhat skeptical, but hearing the earth-shaking roar from ahead, he didn't dare to rule out the possibility that it was indeed a fifth-grade demon beast. If it really was, then their only option would be to flee.
"Is that useless thing Qin Tian in front of us?" Qin Kun suddenly asked.
"If I'm guessing correctly, their den should be just ahead of us, halfway up the mountain." Qin Yang revealed a gloomy smile.
"Alright, let's move forward..."
——————————
"We can't run anymore, we'll be entering the Kunlun Mountains if we keep running."
Qin Tian suddenly stopped and looked at the dark forest in front of him, his heart secretly becoming anxious.
The monsters in the Kunlun Mountains are terrifying, as if taking a step further would be irreparable. Qin Tian's mind kept thinking about how to solve the current crisis.
"Or else we...," Yun Wan hesitated and didn't speak, her heart skipped a beat, how could she have such a foolish idea?
"What?" Qin Tian asked.
"Shall we kill it?" Yun Wan said weakly, not daring to look into Qin Tian's eyes.
"Hunt and kill a fifth-grade Yao beast?" Qin Tian was visibly shaken, thinking to himself: "When did this girl's guts become so big?"
"We can't kill it, we have to enter the Kunlun Mountains." Yunmeng took a look at the Kunlun Mountains, which were as fierce as a flood beast, and she had doubts in her heart. "Can we come out alive if we go inside?"
At this time, Qin Tian's mind went 'ding'
"Ding"
"System Task: Slay Violent King Kong, obtain Crystal Core. Task reward: 10,000 experience points, 4,000 Chi value, 100 Survival value..."
"Damn it."
Qin Tian couldn't help but curse a sentence, "The power is too overwhelming, 'System, why don't you come out and kill yourself, damn it'."
Qin Tian's face was filled with anger. If the system were a person, he would have ruthlessly trampled him underfoot and then thrown him away.
He had originally only wanted to dodge, but the system's task made him very angry, he must kill and also get the crystal core, wasn't this just asking him to risk his life? What was the difference between this and hitting a stone with an egg?
Now it's fine, the task is completely non-selective and can't be refused at all.
"Damn it, I'm done."
"Kill!"
Qin Tian's voice was low and stern, his eyebrows relaxed, and he released Yun Mian's hand. The Dragon Elephant Taiwu Meridian in his body quietly began to circulate, and the intense pressure continued to increase, becoming so heavy that it almost made him breathe unevenly. At this moment, he was secretly excited in his heart - a fifth-stage demon beast, a demon beast that had condensed its crystal nucleus, was a huge challenge for him.
At this moment, Qin Tian's fighting spirit surged violently, and his body released a strong battle intent. The cloud vines beside him seemed to be ignited by the battle intent he released, and his eyes became extremely determined and stable.
As the air waves grew stronger, the colorful clothes on Yunmeng's body fluttered up, like a fierce fairy, with killing intent rising in all directions...
"Yunmian, next time I'll restrain it, you try to hit its eyes and make it blind." Qin Tian quickly made a judgment, he was now worried whether Yunmian could handle it, after all they were facing a fifth-stage demon beast, the enormous body alone was enough to suffocate people, not to mention its terrifying power.
Yunmeng nodded unexpectedly, and then 'Zongyun Jing' suddenly started, his body lightly floated into the air...
Qin Tian saw the situation and didn't hesitate, fiercely charging upwards...
"Bang, bang, bang......"
The monster took a step forward, and the earth shook beneath its feet. Its pace quickened, as if an earthquake were occurring.
Rumble...
A giant tree that pierced the sky was uprooted, and the violent King Kong-like ape lifted the huge tree and slammed it down in a fit of rage. Along with a long roar, it seemed to declare its invincible power.
"On a scorching day, its ferocity is about to end, it's our turn now." The burly man with two sword-like eyebrows slightly relaxed, the joy on his face couldn't be concealed, his massive war hammer swung slowly in mid-air as he pushed off with both legs and flew tens of meters away.
They've been hunting the violent King Kong for half a month, and in this half month, they've lost many soldiers and generals. The team of thirteen is now down to just two people. If they don't kill it soon, they'll spend the rest of their lives living in its shadow.
The face of Yan Tian in the black cloak also changed, and a golden Vajra sword appeared in his hand. He ran on the ground as if he was treading on snow without leaving any trace, and his speed was not slower than that of the burly bearded man.
The violent gorilla kept attacking, they kept dodging, only left with defensive power, without any counterattack.
"Beware, there's someone in front of you." The burly man with a thick beard saw Qin Tian rushing towards him at high speed, furrowed his brow, and heavily dragged the pair of hammers behind him as he jumped down from the treetop, landing heavily on the ground.
The violent gorilla let out a loud roar and with both fists clenched, fiercely smashed them towards the burly bearded man.
Rumble...
The burly man exerted all his strength and jumped up, narrowly avoiding a blow. Before he could catch his breath, the Violent Ape King's massive war-hammer, formed by its clasped hands, came crashing down again with great ferocity.
Rumble...
A huge pit appeared on the ground, and the burly man had to throw down a giant hammer to indicate that his speed was not allowed. In the pit, the giant hammer had already turned into powder...
A fifth-tier demonic beast, it's too terrifying.
Qin Tian felt the power of the demon beast for the first time, it was strong, huge and perverted!!!
