Chapter 144 Monsters

Su Xi slid through the crevice, her body feeling as if it had fallen into a strange state, soft and incapable of exerting any force.

Just as she thought she had fallen victim to some scheme and regretted it immensely, she suddenly felt the ground beneath her soften, and she fell from the air to the ground.

Falling from such a height, Su Xi was very surprised that she felt no pain.

"What's going on?" Su Xi got up from the ground in confusion, her gaze sweeping left and right in the pitch-black space, trying to understand what had happened.

Falling from such a height, although her physical fitness was superior to others, her cultivation power was suppressed, so it was impossible for her not to feel any pain.

Now, not only did she not feel any pain, but she also felt an indescribably refreshing and stimulating sensation, like riding a roller coaster, that sense of pleasure.

Before she could savor this pleasant feeling, Su Xi suddenly thought of a desperate explanation.

She hadn't actually not felt pain, but rather had fallen so tragically that she had died, and that was why she felt no pain.

Thinking of this, Su Xi, with a nervous heart, pinched the soft flesh on her body, wanting to know if it would still hurt.

However, the moment she pinched the soft flesh on her body, her expression instantly changed, and an extremely contorted expression appeared.

Wiping away the tears from the corners of her eyes, she was now certain that she was not in trouble.

However, even though she confirmed that she was fine, Su Xi felt utterly helpless.

Although she was not in trouble, she did not know where she was.

The ground beneath her was not only soft but also unexpectedly dark.

It was as if all the light that approached was swallowed by this strange darkness.

Su Xi thought for a moment, then fumbled for a flashlight and shone it around, wanting to see what was happening.

But everything around was too dark; even with her strong flashlight, the beam did not penetrate very far.

"I can only take one step at a time," Su Xi said, relying on the meager light of her flashlight, and slowly walked forward.

No matter what kind of place this was, moving forward was better than staying put and waiting to die.

If she was lucky, she might find a way out.

After walking for a while, Su Xi's vision remained dark, with no change whatsoever. Even the smell lingering in the air was the same as before.

Noticing that this situation was abnormal, many dark lines appeared on Su Xi's forehead.

This was even more stimulating than a ghost illusion.

Seeing this, Su Xi was even more shocked, feeling as if she were trapped here, and it seemed impossible to get out.

"Thump thump thump!"

Just as Su Xi was wondering how to leave this cursed place, she suddenly heard several dull thuds coming from ahead.

The sounds were loud, deafening like thunder.

Su Xi felt a sharp pain in her ears and quickly covered them.

"What happened?"

Su Xi picked up her flashlight and shone it in the direction of the sound.

But it was still very dark ahead, and she couldn't see anything.

"I must see what happened," Su Xi knew that the range of light was limited, so she walked towards where the sound was coming from.

Staying here was a waste of time; it was better to move forward and perhaps find a glimmer of hope.

She understood the principle of finding life by putting herself in a deathly situation.

After walking for not long, the strong vibrating sound in Su Xi's ears became even more intense and frequent. The ground also began to shake slightly.

"Is this place also experiencing an earthquake?" Su Xi lay on the ground, trying to listen to the frequency of the ground's tremors.

But the moment she lay down, her facial expression changed instantly.

She couldn't help but touch the ground again, her confusion deepening.

The ground she was standing on was moving, and it was also warm. Although the temperature was not high, it was indeed abnormal.

To figure out what was beneath her feet, Su Xi unhesitatingly raised her Meteor God Sword and forcefully plunged it into the ground.

What was underground, she would know once she dug it out.

"Swoosh!"

The expected feeling of hardness did not come; there was only a slight resistance. This sensation was not like stabbing into the ground, but rather like stabbing into straw.

This strange feeling made Su Xi unable to help but pull out the Meteor God Sword and prepare to try another spot.

But the moment she pulled out the sword, a powerful gust of wind erupted, accompanied by a rush of heat.

Although Su Xi could not see, she could sense the danger.

Therefore, before the unexpected event, she had already dodged.

Soon, she smelled a bloody scent in the air.

The moment she smelled this bloody scent, Su Xi immediately realized that it wasn't something else, but blood.

Looking at this scene, Su Xi was filled with incomprehension.

Why was fresh blood seeping from the ground?

What was underground that contained so much blood?

Before Su Xi could try again, the entire ground began to surge continuously, and the strange dull thuds from before echoed again and again.

What was happening?

The ground shook faster and faster, and the amplitude became larger and larger.

In just a short while, Su Xi felt that she could not even stand steady.

To avoid falling, she could only run to another place.

Just as all of this was happening, in the darkness not far away, a strange red light flickered.

As soon as this red light appeared, it began to expand continuously. In an instant, it became as dazzling as the sun, finally illuminating the entire space.

After illuminating the space, Su Xi took the opportunity to observe her surroundings.

It turned out that what she had been stepping on was not the ground at all, but the body of a monster. The monster was enormous, its head and tail completely out of sight. That was why it gave her the illusion of standing on the ground.

Facing all of this, Su Xi couldn't help but gasp.

What kind of monster could have such a massive size?

The monster seemed to have been awakened by the pain on its body and was continuously letting out roars, the deafening sound causing nearby rocks to fall.

"Plop!"

Many stones brushed past her and fell around, into a pool of water, instantly emitting a puff of smoke, clearly having been corroded.

Seeing this, Su Xi felt a surge of gratitude.

She had been lucky just now; otherwise, if she had accidentally fallen into the water, even an immortal couldn't have saved her.

After traveling for such a long time, it was the first time she felt that she also possessed the protagonist's halo. Without this halo, she might have already been taken care of.

Furthermore, she was filled with regret at this moment.

If she had known she was standing on a monster, she would not have poked it and angered it.
