Chapter 302 - 302 Traversing the White Mist
The scene scared Big Scorpion and Yuji out of their wits. They were both panting intensely. What sort of monster was that red eye?
If Qin Chen had not made it just in time, the two of them might have died at the hands of the red eye.
After all, there were too many bizarre things on the ancient planet. They would die miserably if they did not pay attention to their surroundings.
The red eye was certainly something that killed without hesitation. It was forced back by Qin Chen for now. Who knew if it was still hiding in the shadows and observing them?
Qin Chen immediately asked, “What’s that?”
He had just taken the moonstone out. He didn’t even manage to see his target clearly. The red eye disappeared just as he was casting the moonstone.
Yuji and Big Scorpion shook their heads with bitter smiles. They also did not know what kind of monster the red eye was.
Qin Chen felt uneasy. The red eye could easily block a blow delivered by the Desolate Divine Halberd. It was most likely more powerful than that terrifying monster.
Just then, a sound came from behind them. Qin Chen glanced back and saw that one of the monsters was suddenly chasing after them.
It was the monster that had the shape of a human and could tear apart the body of a God-realm expert.
Big Scorpion let out a surprised cry. He never imagined that the terrifying monster actually followed Qin Chen up to the mountain.
Yuji was also shocked. Her face was ghastly pale. She did not wish to be eaten up so pathetically.
Qin Chen leaped up and channeled his Chaotic Holy Body. For a moment, the whole space resonated and the rules of the chaos formed an armor around his body.
He sent out a kick and sent the terrifying monster flying several meters outwards.
Qin Chen figured that he would have to use an extreme emperor weapon if he wanted to get rid of the monster entirely. Before the monster got to its feet and pounced toward them again, Qin Chen took out the Innate Sword Fetus.
He immediately activated it, attempting to awaken the extreme emperor weapon. The divine power within him poured into it frenziedly. In an instant, an imposing emperor’s might emanated from it!
The terrifying monster appeared to be rooted to where it stood. Qin Chen wielded the Innate Sword Fetus and charged toward it. Then, he slashed the head of the monster.
Unfortunately, even after the monster’s head was chopped off, its head could still move. Its body was not completely dead as well. The head kept rolling on the ground, seemingly attempting to bite Qin Chen again.
As for the headless body, it ran aimlessly into the depths before them.
The red eye was still in the depths. Even Qin Chen knew what the red eye was. The monster that was not yet completely dead was heading blindly toward it.
The very next moment, they heard the sound of an explosion. A bloody mist permeated the air.
It was apparent that the headless monster had been crushed by the red eye into a bloody mist.
It was too horrifying. Qin Chen’s forehead was covered in sweat. If the red eye had attacked him, he would not even have had the time to awaken the extreme emperor weapon.
However, the red eye seemed to have seen the extreme emperor weapon in his hand and did not attack them. Qin Chen also didn’t dare to put away the Innate Sword Fetus. If the red eye attacked them again, he wouldn’t be able to react.
He then looked at the head of the terrifying monster on the ground. Its head was clearly still alive. Black blood oozed out from its severed neck. It was repulsive. Qin Chen also did not know what the thing was. It was actually stronger than a God-realm expert.
Big Scorpion and Yuji came closer. When they saw the head of the terrifying monster, they also broke out in a cold sweat. Could it be that the monster was immortal and the only way to stop it from attacking them again was to smash it into a bloody mist?
The head on the ground was still gnashing its teeth hard, attempting to bite Qin Chen. The latter picked up the head using the Desolate Divine Halberd and flung it into the depths.
From within the depths of the white mist, a loud thud could be heard after the head of the monster was thrown into that.
It had most likely been crushed into a bloody mist too.
From the looks of it, the red eye was far more powerful than what Qin Chen and his companions had imagined. Even a God-realm expert would not be able to survive a blow from it.
Exactly what kind of place was this ancient planet? It was so eerie and horrifying.
Yuji and Big Scorpion followed closely behind Qin Chen. They did not dare to wander far away from him. They had experienced the terror of the red eye. It could even kill a God-realm expert. Even the terrifying monster, which could not be killed by the extreme emperor weapon, was helpless against the red eye. The former was turned into a bloody mist.
“What should we do now?”
Qin Chen had run out of ideas. Even the Innate Sword Fetus could not kill the terrifying monster. If they returned now, they would have to face countless other similar monsters.
On the other hand, if they advanced further, they would come face-to-face with the red eye in the depths of the white mist. Even though the red eye did not attack them, it was hard to say whether it was waiting for a better opportunity to strike while they ventured deeper into its territory.
Big Scorpion swallowed with much difficulty. In a trembling voice, he said, “Elder King, I also don’t know what we should do. I will follow your orders.”
After all, whatever they chose to do, they would still end up dead. They were caught between a rock and a hard place. They were forced to choose one of the options.
They would not be safe if they remained here. After the other terrifying monsters finished devouring the corpses, they would definitely track them by scent. The fact that Qin Chen had not thrown off the last monster was the greatest proof of that.
However, if they remained where they were, the red eye might attack them again.
Qin Chen was now under tremendous pressure. Even though he wielded the extreme emperor weapon, he did not know what to do.
It was a weapon left behind by an ancient great emperor and yet, it could not even kill the terrifying monster.
The white jade celestial bell continued to chime. It seemed to be at the top of the mountain. However, to get there, they had to traverse this white mist. The scary red eye was hidden within the white mist. They did not even know what its true form was.
They also could not defend against its attacks, which were extremely powerful. If they were not careful, they would be turned into a bloody mist as well.
Yuji and Big Scorpion both fixed their gazes on Qin Chen. They would abide by his decision.
After all, both options were full of peril.
They seemed to have a slightly higher chance of surviving if they advanced. As long as they could traverse through the white mist safely, they would reach the mountain, where the white jade celestial bell was.
The celestial bell seemed to be an extreme weapon. Even if it wasn’t one, it would still have special abilities that could guarantee that those monsters would not attack them.
If they wanted to make it out of there alive, they would most likely need to rely on the power of the white jade celestial bell. Hence, Qin Chen decided to traverse the white mist.
