The Soul-Devouring Beast was roughly eighty meters long.
Its entire body was pitch black, covered in scales. Its head resembled a snake, its body a leopard, and its claws a tiger.
Moreover, not only did it have eight legs, but a pair of bat-like wings also extended from its spine.
Those wings, when spread, reached a hundred meters in length.
Combined with the black scales covering its body, the Soul-Devouring Beast gave Chu Feng a feeling that was not only fierce and brutal, but also somewhat eerie.
However, Chu Feng’s attention was mostly focused on the patterns on the Soul-Devouring Beast’s body, which resembled a map.
After landing, the Soul-Devouring Beast didn’t act immediately. Instead, it stood in place and slowly turned in a circle. Most importantly, it turned with its eyes closed, as if deliberately letting people see the patterns on its body.
Unfortunately, everyone else had already fled. Chu Feng was the only one who saw this.
Swoosh— Suddenly, the Soul-Devouring Beast opened its eyes.
A pair of eerie green gazes shot out.
The moment its eyes opened, Chu Feng could feel waves of terrifying aura, hair-raising and making his flesh creep.
Although he had lost his martial strength and couldn’t use barrier techniques, Chu Feng could still determine that this hair-raising aura was killing intent.
ROAR— The next instant, the Soul-Devouring Beast let out a furious roar. The sound was so piercing it made Chu Feng’s ears buzz, rendering him momentarily deaf.
It took quite a while for his hearing to gradually return.
«Chu Feng, did you see it clearly?» Her Majesty asked.
«I saw it clearly,» Chu Feng said.
«If you saw it, why aren’t you running?» Her Majesty urged.
At this moment, Chu Feng hesitated no longer. He turned and quickly ran deeper into the clouds.
Because the moment the Soul-Devouring Beast opened its eyes, it had awakened. Next, it would likely go on a killing spree.
AHHH~~~~~ Just as Chu Feng was about to enter the clouds, he suddenly heard an extremely tragic scream.
Chu Feng knew someone had met their end. But they had all split up earlier—how could someone fall so quickly?
Chu Feng instinctively glanced back toward the mountain peak.
With that look, his brows furrowed.
The Soul-Devouring Beast was gone. This meant… the person who screamed was very likely attacked by it.
But the Soul-Devouring Beast’s speed was terrifyingly fast. And when it moved, it was completely silent, without any warning or sign.
AHHH~~~~~ Immediately after, another scream came, this time from the completely opposite direction.
«Chu Feng, run quickly! That Soul-Devouring Beast can utilize martial strength, but you’re just an ordinary person now. If it wants to kill you, you probably won’t even know how you died,» Her Majesty urged.
At this moment, Chu Feng also deeply realized just how vast the gap was between an ordinary person and an existence that possessed martial strength.
After that, Chu Feng no longer looked back. Instead, he ran deeper into the clouds at his fastest speed.
During this time, he kept hearing screams.
Although each cry only sounded once before stopping, that very fact proved the screamers had met their end.
So Chu Feng knew that apart from Ren Xiaoyao, whom he had thrown off the cliff, at least nine more people were dead.
The reason he couldn’t be certain was that he was already very far from the mountain peak. Thus, even if more people died, he wouldn’t hear their screams.
After all, Chu Feng was just an ordinary person now. His vision and hearing were both very weak.
Following the chain bridge, Chu Feng quickly entered the space between two great mountains.
He called it "between two mountains" because, at this moment, he was surrounded by two sheer cliff faces.
These cliffs were extremely steep, standing straight up toward the clear blue sky. As an ordinary person, with the rock faces being smooth, he couldn’t climb them at all.
