Checking in for 100,000 Years Chapter 776: Monsters Appear

"What kind of creature is this? Why does it feel so familiar? Damn, it’s such a comforting feeling..."

Big Black Cat stared deep into the underground palace, a cryptic smile on his face.

"Little Cat, why do you feel this way?" Wan Feng asked in surprise.

"I don’t know. Anyway, ever since I entered this underground palace, I’ve felt a strong sense of familiarity, not fear at all..." Big Black Cat shrugged and smiled wryly.

"Master, this creature drained your Essence Blood and Mana. Do you have any idea what it is?" Su Wanyi asked in a low voice.

"I have no idea. All I saw was a long dark shadow zipping past in front of me, and then I passed out..." Recalling his previous experience, Wan Feng’s eyes still held a look of fear.

Su Wanyi blurted out, "A long, dark shadow? Could it be a dragon?"

"Probably not. How could there be a living Divine Dragon in this underground palace?" Wan Feng shook his head.

The rumbling sound from deep within the underground palace continued to move, showing no signs of heading towards them. This put everyone slightly at ease.

"Let’s get out of here quickly. We can’t stay in this place for long..." Wan Feng said solemnly.

"Master, there’s something off about this underground palace. We should stay and investigate..." Su Wanyi shook her head, her beautiful eyes filled with determination.

"Wanyi, I know you must have had a rare fortuitous encounter this past year. However, this underground palace is exceedingly dangerous, and your current cultivation base is insufficient..." Wan Feng sighed helplessly.

"Master, rest assured, nothing will happen to me!" Su Wanyi smiled.

"Exactly! Master, my Lady won’t come to any harm. Why don’t you head outside first while we stay and deal with this creature?" Big Black Cat said with a dismissive laugh.

"Little Cat, why do you call her ’Lady’? Have you recognized her as your master?" Wan Feng caught the undertone and asked in surprise.

"Well..." Big Black Cat looked a bit embarrassed, pondered for a moment, then said, "Let’s discuss this with Master later!"

"I understand!" Wan Feng nodded curtly.

"Dog, I’ll trouble you to escort Master out safely!" Big Black Cat said.

"Cat Brother, I want to stay here and gain experience with you all. Why not let Sky-boring Rat go out? He’s scared to death here anyway!" Big Black Dog reluctantly looked at the Sky-boring Rat.

Hearing this, the Sky-boring Rat got extremely excited, hastily saying, "Cat Brother, let me escort Sect Master Wan out then!"

"You coward! You sure know how to seize an opportunity!" Big Black Cat chuckled teasingly, then nodded.

"Master, if you exit the underground palace, Lu Shaoyou’s main body won’t harm you, will he?" A flicker of concern crossed Su Wanyi’s eyes as she suddenly asked.

"How dare he touch me in broad daylight? That would be outrageous!" Wan Feng snorted coldly.

"That’s good!" Su Wanyi nodded, looked at the Sky-boring Rat, and transmitted her voice with profound meaning: "At the critical moment, you must protect my master. Don’t worry, someone is watching over your little life; you won’t die!"

"I understand, Miss!" Understanding dawned on the Sky-boring Rat, and he nodded repeatedly.

Next, the Sky-boring Rat helped Wan Feng up and quickly left the area.

"Let’s go. We’ll go see that monster..." Su Wanyi drew the Seven-star Dragon Abyss Sword from her back, a calm expression on her face. Accompanied by Big Black Cat and Big Black Dog, she swiftly moved towards the depths of the darkness.

「On the other side.」

In the depths of the underground palace, thousands of Black Shadow Bugs converged, forming a human figure.

Lu Shaoyou’s face was gloomy. The Supreme Ancestor had lent him a portion of these Black Shadow Bugs, also to enhance his strength.

BOOM! BOOM!

The earth trembled, and the distant rumbling reached Lu Shaoyou’s ears.

Lu Shaoyou muttered to himself, continuously analyzing the current situation.

WHOOSH!

Suddenly, his vision went dark. Lu Shaoyou felt himself entering a peculiar small world, pitch black all around, where he couldn’t see a thing. He hurriedly released his Divine Sense, only to find it was blocked within a radius of several thousand feet, unable to probe further.

Lu Shaoyou’s heart leaped, and a look of pleasant surprise appeared on his face.

The next moment, Lu Shaoyou glared furiously. His Divine Sense perceived that this space was rapidly contracting. An indescribable pressure instantly bore down on him.

CRACK!

The boundary of the dark space contracted rapidly, and Lu Shaoyou’s body was shattered by an immense force, reverting to countless tiny Black Shadow Bugs that scattered in all directions in panic.

In the void, a colossal shadow, hundreds of thousands of feet tall, stirred slightly. It suddenly lifted an arm that had been resting on the ground. Its fist was clenched. When its fist reached its mouth, it abruptly opened its hand and tossed all the Black Shadow Bugs within into its maw.

CRUNCH! CRUNCH!

A chilling crunching sound that set one’s teeth on edge rang out, accompanied by Lu Shaoyou’s bloodcurdling screams echoing in the darkness.

In the span of two or three breaths, the thousands of Black Shadow Bugs were crushed and devoured by the mysterious, colossal shadow.
