Chapter 2084: Mutated Beast 3

Translator: Henyee Translations Editor: Henyee Translations

It was remarkably peaceful, and there were no other beasts around.

She had not encountered the other disciples during her walk. However, it was understandable since they had left early, not expecting to run into each other.

However….

After an hour of walking, Gu Chaoyan discovered that the cave was surprisingly vast.

It was so expansive that it had several diverging paths.

Each path carried the lingering aura of people pa.s.sing through them.

Gu Chaoyan guessed that they must have noticed that there were many paths here, so they split up.

But Gu Chaoyan did not have many people with her, so they could not leave separately.

She followed the path the paper crane took.

Soon…

She could smell blood not far away from the Dao Seeking.

There were bloodstains on the ground, as well as the bodies of bats.

What?

Gu Chaoyan quickened her pace and pressed on.

While walking inside, she was suddenly confronted by numerous black objects flying toward her. Gu Chaoyan promptly retrieved torches from her storage s.p.a.ce, and upon seeing the torches, the black objects promptly dispersed, showing no intention of approaching her.

The torches had been preplanned and carried for such situations.

She had antic.i.p.ated encountering many other smaller beasts deep within the cave.

Her foresight proved useful, and Gu Chaoyan was pleased with her preparations. Before facing the mutated beasts, she refrained from using her spiritual energy unless absolutely necessary.

She continued to walk smoothly.

As she progressed, she noticed some small bloodstains along the way. If her a.s.sumptions were correct, one of the demon beasts must have sustained an injury.

In this environment, bleeding was a grave taboo. These small demon beasts were bloodthirsty creatures that roamed in darkness year-round, and they would likely be drawn towards the scent of blood.

And the paper crane did not encounter any danger here. Witness the debut of this chapter, unveiled through Ñôv€l--B1n.

It had no human scent, and the bats did not harm it.

Gu Chaoyan continued walking forward, accompanied by the others.

Finally, they arrived at a brightly illuminated area where the bats did not follow them.

However, Gu Chaoyan was not convinced that this place was safe.

Because…

It was at this very spot that the paper crane lost all of its G.o.dly power.

Gu Chaoyan carefully observed the surroundings.

The place seemed eerily quiet, devoid of any sound or movement.

Yet, Gu Chaoyan couldn’t shake the feeling that something was watching her, even though there was no visible living thing nearby.

At most, there were two stone pillars standing in the area.

Gu Chaoyan scrutinized the stone pillars closely.

They appeared to be ordinary stone pillars.

Thinking of leaving, Gu Chaoyan suddenly had a hunch and decided to use her spiritual energy to strike one of the stone pillars directly. Surprisingly, the stone pillar shattered upon impact, revealing a pool of blood within.

What?

What the h.e.l.l?

She felt an odd sensation about the stone pillar, prompting her to investigate further.

Why was the pillar bleeding?

Just as she was contemplating this strange occurrence, a fiery red monster charged towards her aggressively.

To her surprise, the beast seemed to have originated from a rock.

It suddenly dawned on Gu Chaoyan what was happening.

There were likely two mutated beasts in this area.

They must have killed the people who came to hunt them and used some kind of pills to disguise themselves. Gu Chaoyan also possessed such pills, and it appeared they had disguised themselves as the surrounding objects.

With this realization, Gu Chaoyan braced herself as the fiery red monster lunged at her with intense heat as well..
