Chapter 122: Dark Skin (Strange 3/4)

  {）}

  In the midst of a golden light, Zhou Heng only felt his body sink, and an unstoppable force swept over him. Before he could enter the Jiuxuan Trial Tower, his vision blurred, and he found himself in an unfamiliar place.

  This is a lush green world, a green stream, with green mud on both sides, and green forests on the banks, full of green fruit.

  The forest should have been green, but the green tree trunks, green mud, and green sky made it look strange. Moreover, these trees were too tall, each one was no less than a hundred feet high, like a small green mountain.

  There is only a silver-white moon hanging in the sky, dotted with a little different color.

  It's not just him, Nangong Yue Rong, Jiang Xuan Ling and the hundreds of people who had entered here with him and were thrown in by Zhou Heng, all surrounded him, each with a bewildered expression.

  Zhou Heng first looked at the retreat route, but saw that he seemed to have appeared out of thin air, with no corresponding transmission gate around him, only a bleak green color.

  How strange! Too strange!

  Zhou Heng had previously experienced the trials of the Misty Valley, the Underground World, and the Heart Luo Palace, so he already had a strong immunity to such phenomena. He quickly calmed down, his fierce gaze once again fixed on Nangong Yue Xiang and Jiang Xuan Ling.

  Boom! Boom! Boom!

  Before Zhou Heng could launch an attack, a loud rumbling sound came, the ground shook, as if there was an earthquake.

  Everyone was shocked awake, for this is an unknown world, where fortune and disaster are unpredictable.

  Zhou Heng also withdrew his hand, killing someone in a hurry would be the stupidest thing to do. What's going on with such a big commotion?

  Everyone argued about the direction and looked towards where the loud noise came from.

  Boom, boom, boom. The sound is getting closer and closer.

  "Jing Shidi! Jing Shidi!" Nangong Yuexiang suddenly shouted loudly, her face showing a somewhat anxious expression.

  For the Nangong family, Jing Tian is not only a talented person worth cultivating, but he also has a great secret. It's related to Zhou Heng and the secret of his rapid cultivation progress. They chose Jing Tian, so they no longer need Zhou Heng, which is why Nangong Yue Xiang would unscrupulously take action.

  If Jing Tian were to die, then everything would fall back on Zhou Heng's shoulders. However, the relationship between the two had already become so strained that it was impossible to reconcile, which is why Nangong Yue Xiang became anxious after not seeing Jing Tian anywhere.

  Zhou Heng still had a friendship with Jing Tian, and he looked around, but didn't see any sign of him. Could it be because Jing Tian was still in the Lingering Spirit Realm that he was transported somewhere else?

  Boom! Boom!

  The rumbling sound was getting closer and closer, and suddenly a large object appeared in everyone's field of vision as a piece of forest fell down. Its body was extremely thick and long, like an earthworm magnified countless times, with a thickness of at least three zhang (about 10 meters) and a length of at least twenty or thirty zhang (about 66-100 meters) just from the exposed part.

  This giant insect knocked down tree after tree as it passed by, producing a deafening roar.

  Another tree fell, and a second giant worm appeared, slightly smaller but not much different. The whole body was emerald green, with a segmented body, covered in small feet as long as a meter. Very disgusting. Then the third, fourth, eleventh... eleven giant worms slowly emerged from the forest. But because of their huge size, they were actually moving at an incredible speed.

  These eleven giant insects did not notice the crowd. Or perhaps because they had no eyes or ears, they didn't discover them, and simply came to the creek on their own, drinking the greenish liquid. At this time, it was clear that each one was a hundred feet long.

  A seemingly serene and beautiful scene is actually eerily abnormal, so out of harmony.

  "Ah!" Before everyone could react, a strange cry was heard, and at least a thousand giant creatures, about the height of a person, rushed out of the dense forest. They ran upright on two legs, with long heads like alligators, sharp teeth, and their bodies covered in scales as big as copper coins. Their front limbs were short and small, while their hind limbs were extremely long, strong and powerful, and their entire body was dark red in color.

  These creatures ran at an astonishing speed, leaping dozens of meters in a single bound, like flashes of lightning, towards those giant worms.

  A bloody massacre unfolded without warning, the newly emerged monsters launched a frenzied attack on the eleven giant worms. Despite their vastly different sizes, the giant worms were powerless against the dark-skinned beasts, and as they were torn apart by the beasts' bites, the worms quickly became covered in wounds, with green blood flowing everywhere.

  "First Boundary! All these monsters are at the First Boundary!"

  "Hurry up, in case they attack us, we won't be able to withstand it!"

  "There's too many!"

  The crowd burst into an uproar, and just then, several dark-skinned monsters had discovered their presence, stopped their heads-down gnawing movements, and turned around, with a faintly small eyes flashing with bloody murderous intent.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  These bloodthirsty monsters charged over without hesitation, their huge mouths open wide, looking incredibly frightening.

  A few fledgling boundary monsters wouldn't be taken seriously by the crowd, but once they take action and attract a full-scale monster attack, it's all over! One thousand to one hundred, an absolute crushing advantage in numbers will form an overwhelming superiority, and everyone will be quickly annihilated.

  Everyone turned around and ran downstream along the creek - monsters all came from upstream, if they continued in this direction, who knows, they might encounter a second wave of monsters, and being caught between two groups would be even more hopeless.

  It's just too late!

  One after another, the dark-skinned monsters stopped their movements and chased after Zhou Heng and his companions.

  The pursuit did not last long, as these monsters were incredibly fast and soon surrounded most people, with only a few like Nan Gong Yue Xiang and Jiang Xuan Ling able to barely keep their distance, disappearing into the distance in an instant.

  The dark-skinned monster formed a circle, surrounding most of the warriors. Its three-meter-high body was small compared to the giant worm, but for humans, it was an absolutely enormous creature.

  Zhou Heng was also among the crowd, and if he had unfolded his Swift Cloud Flowing Light Step, he would have long since run out of sight. However, for him, these Dark Skin Monsters were a sumptuous feast that could provide him with a massive accumulation of power.

  Life and death battle, at the touch of a kill, these dark-skinned monsters would not say anything opening remarks, immediately launched a fierce attack, for a time, blood flying, limbs dancing, massacre unfeeling performance.

  Zhou Hengke was not a person who repaid kindness with enmity. These guys had previously forced him into a desperate situation, disregarding his life and death. He naturally would not lend them a helping hand. With the Black Sword clearing the way, he began to reap the rewards of battle.

  Encounter monsters, kill! Encounter humans, also kill!

  He has to be ruthless, as there are several guys who know he's powerful and have hidden behind him! What's the point of being polite to such despicable people? It's better for them to die at his hands than at those of the Dark Skin Monster, at least that way he can gain experience.

  Zhou Heng didn't intentionally kill people, but anyone who tried to cling to him was ruthlessly eliminated. Before long, no one dared to stay near him, and only a group of dark-skinned monsters continued to besiege him.

  These dark-skinned monsters' defenses are actually amazingly strong, even if they were to withstand a punch or palm from a first-rank warrior, they would not be harmed in the slightest. The scales all over their bodies provide super-strong defense, absorbing a large amount of power.

  Only by wrapping the law enforcement volume with spiritual power can it cut off a few scales, but to inflict fatal damage on these monsters, you must first cut off their scales cleanly.

  The warriors were already at a disadvantage in terms of numbers and now faced even weaker defenses, suffering more than half casualties in no time.

  Zhou Heng danced with the black sword, and a series of black sword waterfalls appeared in mid-air. Wherever the sword passed, dark-skinned monsters fell to the ground, and what seemed like a powerful defense was unable to withstand even a single blow from the black sword.

  Although he was alone, the speed of his killing was in no way slower than that of those dark-skinned monsters. When the number of warriors dropped to over thirty, Zhou Heng had also killed more than 70 dark-skinned monsters, and his combat strength left people staring in shock.

  "Zhou Heng, I'm willing to be your servant, save me!" A man rushed over, fighting for his life.

  "Save me, save me! I'm willing to be your woman, you can do whatever you want!" a fairly attractive woman cried out.

  "Save me!"

  "Save me!"

  The living cried out in a flurry, willing to promise anything for the sake of survival! Of course, whether they would actually keep their promises later on was another matter altogether.

  Zhou Heng acted as if he hadn't heard, only waving his black sword to continuously reap the lives of the Dark Skin Monsters. In fact, it was already good that he didn't kick them while they were down.

  Those who can come here are all young and promising talents from various sects, deeply valued by their sects. Each of them has more or less life-saving items on their bodies, which is also what allows them to barely survive.

  However, the life-saving object is only useful in critical moments, if it can be used at all times, it would not be called a life-saving object. Under the crazy attack of the Dark Skin Monster, more than a dozen people fell to the ground and were quickly dissected and eaten up.

  A warrior's flesh and blood is also a great tonic for the demon beast!

  Zhou Heng was no exception, and more than 20 dark-skinned monsters fell at his feet. Under the black sword, any defense was just a decoration.

  Bang! Bang! Bang!

  At this moment, a three-headed dark-skinned monster with five zhang high rushed over, and from that incredibly fast speed, it could be known that these three dark-skinned monsters were all Earth-Shattering Realm existences!

  Can't beat it!

  Zhou Heng didn't get carried away by his big win, he was basically invincible in the early stages of the first realm, but after all, it was still just the first realm and couldn't contend with the existence of the Earth Splitting Realm. He also killed over a hundred Dark Skin Monsters, earning a lot!

  It's withdrawn!

  "Argh——" The three-headed dark-skinned monster let out a roar, taking two thick hind legs and charging towards Zhou Heng. Along the way, it swiped its two slightly smaller front paws, instantly crushing the heads of several warriors like chopping vegetables, with blood, flesh, and brain matter flying everywhere.

  Zhou Heng didn't hesitate for a moment, his feet moved swiftly and he sprinted forward rapidly.

  The three-headed initial boundary of the dark skin monster was pursued tightly, and the gap that had just been broken open was immediately blocked by other dark monsters, leaving only a dozen or so warriors still struggling in despair.

  Their fate has been sealed.
