Chapter 260
Chapter 260
‘The blood is still warm, and the corpses are still hot!’ Maisie’s breathing turned rapid, and her downcasted heart beat wildly.
‘There’s a high chance that Casper’s still alive!’ The thought quickly spread in Maisie’s heart.
“Hurry up and pass-through this tunnel!” Maisie immediately ordered the disciple.
In that instant, the spirit boat fastened.
Then, with a loud bang, all the blood that froze quickly blasted away.
Soon, they got out of the passage.
As soon as they rushed out, they were not greeted by the snow-covered landscape or the white and soft snow.
Instead, they saw a slaughterhouse hundreds of times worse than in the passage!
As the tunnel was dim and narrow, the number of corpses and blood they saw were limited.
However, they looked at a nerve-racking gory scene.
At a glance, countless mutilated corpses lay all over the ground.
As there was a thick layer of viscous, dark-red blood smeared on the ground, the color of the snow was no longer white.
Moreover, the spine-chilling smell of blood filled the air.
Everyone on the spirit boat was shocked, and their hearts almost stopped beating.
They felt their blood rushing to their brain as their limbs turned cold.
“How… How is this… Possible…”
“Where am I…”
“Who did this…”
The crowd murmured among themselves, and their minds went blank from the image in front of them.
Although Maisie was mentally prepared, she still gasped when she witnessed the exaggerated scene.
Maisie could not help but start doubting her judgment.
‘Is someone else helping Casper, and he’s not alone?’ Just as Maisie racked her brain and was filled with doubts, a snowdrift the size of a small hill not far away violently trembled, and it fell apart.
Then, about four monsters screamed as they flew out.
Blood gushed out of their bodies furiously, and it was as if countless metal needles pierced them.
Soon, large swaths of blood sprayed everywhere, spattering numerous blood spots on the ground.
Everyone’s line of sight was immediately attracted to the scene.
The next second, they saw dozens of monsters after the snowdrift exploded.
These monsters made strange screams and roared angrily, forming a circle as if they fought against something.
Among the chaos, Maisie vaguely saw a familiar silhouette flashed.
“It’s Casper! They’re besieging Casper!” Maisie exclaimed, “Let’s go there now!”
At that time, Maisie did not bother to investigate who caused the mess at the scene, as what mattered the most was Caspian was still alive!
The spirit boat flew over immediately.
As they got closer, Maisie could see a bloody figure that battled against the dozens of monsters.
As the person was drenched in blood from head to toe, he appeared like a man made out of blood.
However, his figure was indescribably tall and stalwart.
No one could tell the original color of the long spear in his hand, but its blade got sharper and sharper.
At a glance, they felt a tingling sensation as if their skin was cut open.
The person waved his hand violently, and a murderous momentum that wanted to defeat all domineering aura surged out.
It was as if any living creature would be surprised by him.
“It’s Casper!” Maisie suddenly felt as if her heart was about to jump out of her chest.
Her shout echoed to the distance.
Caspian, who pierced through Snow Wolf-Ape’s head with his spear, seemed to have heard her voice, and he raised his head slightly, looking into the sky. © 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.
Maisie jumped and wanted to wave at him.
However, a roar suddenly sounded from behind, “Maisie, watch out! It’s a devil cultivator! The Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine!”
Swoosh!
In the blink of an eye, a black thing about the size of a fist flew in Caspian’s direction.
“The Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine?” Maisie was stunned, but she quickly recovered and shouted, “Don’t!”
However, it was already too late.
The black thing fell not far above Caspian with a thud, and it abruptly burst into dazzling light.
The next second, it exploded.
The effect of the explosion was like giant waves, thunderstorms, the collapsing of mountains, and earthquakes.
The radius within ten meters was affected by the blast.
The billowing black smoke and air currents shook the spirit boat as if it was a small boat in a huge wave, about to be overturned.
Maisie tightly grabbed the handles, and her eyes flashed with fear and panic.
Then, she noticed Caspian’s figure swayed slightly and engulfed by the smoke.
The explosion set off a terrifying impact in the surrounding space.
The group of monsters did not even manage to wall, and they were quickly torn to pieces.
Such an explosion was enough to make people feel fear.
Once the spirit boat stabilized, Maisie turned around, looked at everyone, and she roared, “Who did that?!”
Even though Maisie was always a gentle person, she appeared terrifying from the rage.
Her eyes burned with anger, and it was enough to send chills down the disciples’ spines, and they felt weak in their knees.
“It was me!” Peter bit the bullet and answered her with the excuses that he thought about earlier.
“Maisie, the situation was too dangerous just now.
It was apparent that there was a devil cultivator killing creatures to feed on their blood and practice sorcery.
I was just worried for everyone’s safety, so I attacked first and killed them.
I’m willing to be punished if you do not approve of this action!”
When Peter said those words, he appeared righteous.
With each word he uttered, he sounded as if he was sincerely doing it for everyone.
At that point, a halo might as well glow on top of his head.
Maisie stared at him coldly.
Due to the difference in realms, Peter felt the pressure, and he almost wanted to kneel.
However, at the thought of the order he received before leaving for that trip, he forced himself to endure it.
After a while, Peter’s back was drenched with sweat, and cold perspiration was even dripping from the end of his hair.
“Maisie… That was a devil cultivator, are you…” Peter knew he must say something.
Otherwise, his spirit might be crushed by Maisie.
“I’m asking you who gave you the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine?!” Maisie rudely interrupted his sentence.
She did not ask gently but interrogated him.
The Heavenly Stars Sect developed the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine, and it had a terrifying murderous power.
The formation in it could be used by any disciples who achieved Pulse Control Realm.
Nonetheless, due to their formidable force as they could defeat those with the same realm or even cause significant damage to those in the higher realm than the user, the Heavenly Stars Sect strictly supervised the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mines to prevent anyone from using it for evil.
Additionally, it was even hard for an inner disciple to get their hands on it.
However, Peter was only an apprentice.
With his current position, he should not even be able to touch the Killer Waves and Earthquakes Mine, let alone own it!
