Chapter 182 Monster

Translator: Henyee TranslationsEditor: Henyee Translations

Below the cliff was an endless poisonous gas barrier.

Lin Jiansheng pointed at the cliff and said to Yu Huang, “That’s the Broken Cliff. If you jump down from there, even birds will be smashed to pieces, let alone humans.”

Yu Huang, not daring to think about how desperate and helpless Anna was when she jumped down from there, stared at the cliff.

Lin Jiansheng cast a psychic shield on Yu Huang.

“This protective shield can only support you for two days at most. Remember, you are not allowed to use spiritual power at the bottom of the cliff. If you use too much spiritual power, it will shorten the duration of the

protective shield. At that time, the poisonous gas will invade your bodies.”

Yu Huang remembered Lin Jiansheng’s words. She turned around and said to Sheng Xiao, “I’ll go first.”

Sheng Xiao said, “Okay.”

Yu Huang spread her Vermillion Bird wings and jumped down from the sky.

After Yu Huang jumped down, Lin Jiansheng covered Sheng Xiao’s body with a protective shield and gave him a silver life-saving talisman. “Bring her up after two days. If anything happens, crush this life-saving

talisman and I will go down to save you.”

“l understand.”

Sheng Xiao safekept the life-saving talisman properly before jumping off the aircraft.

Because the poisonous gas was too thick, the bottom of the cliff looked like it was covered in a layer of gray smoke.

Previously, on the flying transport, Yu Huang was unable to see the bottom of the cliff clearly. She flapped her wings and slowly descended towards the bottom of the cliff. Suddenly, her feet stepped on a layer of

swaying barrier.

The moment the soles of Yu Huang’s shoes came into contact with the barrier, a sizzling sound could be heard. Yu Huang looked down and realized that she had stepped on a spider web. The spider web was corrosive

and was rapidly corroding the soles of her shoes!

When Yu Huang looked over, she noticed that the spiderweb was actually so large that it enveloped the entire valley.

So what they saw in the sky earlier wasn’t poisonous gas at all, but this poisonous spider web!

At that moment, Sheng Xiao flew down on his sword. He was about to approach Yu Huang when she raised her head and shouted at him, “Don’t get too close! The spider web is corrosive!”

Sheng Xiao stopped in his tracks.

He noticed the changes under Yu Huang’s feet and hurriedly extended his hands towards her. “Give me your hands.”

Yu Huang passed her hands to Sheng Xiao.

Sheng Xiao grabbed Yu Huang’s hands and tried to pull her back. However, the spider web was like glue. He could not shake it off.

Yu Huang saw that this thing wasn’t easy to get rid of, so she said, “Step back a bit.”

Sheng Xiao flew back ten meters.

Yu Huang summoned Xuan Yu and ordered Xuan Yu to release the Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame. The Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame formed a small circle and covered the spiderweb while burning fiercely.

Very quickly, that circle of spider silk was burned to pieces by Yu Huang’s Purifying Evil Phoenix Flame.

The spiderweb finally broke apart, and Yu Huang, who stood within the spiderweb, lost her balance as her body swiftly fell down.

Seeing that, Sheng Xiao rushed down and grabbed Yu Huang’s hand. He pulled her into his arms and protected her as she landed at the bottom of the valley.

When they landed on the ground, Sheng Xiao quickly knelt down and untied the straps of Yu Huang’s combat boots. Yu Huang quickly took her feet out of the boots.

She took out a new pair of sports shoes from the space storage and changed into them. Now that the crisis was over, the two of them carefully observed the environment at the bottom of the valley.

The bottom of the valley was dark due to the lack of direct light all year round.

The tree trunks were twisted and meandering, as if they were sick. None of them were straight.

The ground beneath their feet was filled with thick poisonous gas. They could not see the situation on the ground clearly. Yu Huang lifted her left foot and cautiously took a step forward.

Crack—

She guessed something.

They looked at each other. Yu Huang moved her left foot away from the thing. Sheng Xiao squatted down and moved closer. He realized that it was a skeletal hand.

And it was a human palm.

Sheng Xiao picked up the skeleton and waved it in front of Yu Huang. “It’s a skeleton.”

As Yu Huang stared at the skeleton, she thought of something. She hurriedly spread open the Vermilion Bird wings on her back and flapped hard, creating a hurricane.

The hurricane dispersed some of the poisonous gas around them.

When her vision cleared up a little, Yu Huang lowered her head to look at her feet again. Only then did she realize that they were actually deep within a forest of skeletons!

When her vision cleared up a little, Yu Huang lowered her head to look at her feet again. Only then did she realize that they were actually deep within a forest of skeletons!

Yu Huang even saw a gray snake crawl out from one skeleton and slip into another!

ot to mention Yu Huang, even Sheng Xiao, who was used to big scenes, was shocked when he saw the Skeleton Forest beneath him.

Yu Huang suddenly scoffed. “This natural poisonous gas barrier is really a good place to kill and hide corpses.”

tt was obvious that Sheng Xiao had the same thought as Yu Huang. He shook his head and sighed. “The mist here is so thick. Maybe it’s not just poisonous gas but also resentment.”

Upon hearing this, Yu Huang naturally thought of Lin Jiansheng. Mentor said that he had once come to the Broken Cliff. What was he doing there?

Looking at the bones all over the ground, as well as the resentment in the air that was so thick that it made her feel stifled, she could vaguely guess the reason why Lin Jiansheng came to the Broken Cliff.

Although this place was filled with grievous energy, it was also the best place to raise a Purifying Spirit Master’s cultivation level.

The more souls a Purifying Spirit Master cleansed, the faster their cultivation level would increase. Mentor spent three years to condense a Psychic Pearl, but in a short span of more than a hundred years, he reached

Level 8.

erhaps he had once had a fortuitous opportunity in this valley.

“Okay.”

Anna Tao had jumped from the top of the cliff. Where she had landed, she should have been against the cliff as well.

The two of them walked towards the cliff. They searched the cliff twice but could not find her corpse.

It had only been twenty days since Anna Tao fell into the valley. If she was already dead, her body should not have completely rotted.

Sheng Xiao suspected that Anna Tao was eaten by some animal. She might not even have a corpse left. But he dared not tell Yu Huang about it.

Yu Huang had also thought of this possibility.

“Sheng Xiao, could she have been… eaten?”

Sheng Xiao did not want to lie to Yu Huang. After a moment of silence, he said, “Yu Huang, the chances of her surviving after falling from such a high cliff are slim.”

Yu Huang was unwilling to leave just like that. She said, “Let’s split up and search.”

“Okay.”

The two expanded their search range and continued to search.

After searching for more than half an hour, Yu Huang found some clues. Just as she was about to find another place to search, she heard a strange sound.

That sound was very soft. If Yu Huang’s hearing wasn’t sharp, she wouldn’t have noticed it at all.

Yu Huang could tell that the thing was coming from above her head. She subconsciously raised her head and looked up. She saw an incomparably huge monster with a young girl’s face. It looked like a spider yet also

like an ant. It was lying on top of the spiderweb and staring at her with a hungry gaze.

Seeing that familiar face appear on the body of a monster, Yu Huang’s breathing suddenly stopped.

“A… Anna…”.
