Strange Voyage: Summoning the Fourth Disaster.

Chapter 702 Desolation
Although the ugly elder did not attack them, his appearance was truly terrifying, and his attitude towards them had absolutely nothing to do with the word "friendly".

To be honest, if Li Miao hadn't been there, he would have already been itching to use his staff after going ashore.

However, Li Miao was not angry about this.

Thank you for your guidance.

He calmly cupped his hands in greeting to the other party, then pulled the person who had come ashore with him and headed towards the place the ugly elder had pointed out.

Upon seeing this, he didn't say anything. He naturally supported Li Miao's choice, and even if there were any problems, he would ask them later.

however.

The two had only been gone a short while when a sound from behind made him turn around to look. When he saw what was behind him, his pupils contracted, and he quickly patted Li Miao beside him to remind him.

"Miaozi, look behind you!"

I heard the sound of people coming ashore.

Li Miao also turned his head and glanced at it.

What followed was a chilling scene.

The ugly elder was standing there.

Other creatures in the forest also cautiously approached him.

Then, some of the animals slowly stepped forward, trembling with fear, and approached the ugly elder.

The ugly elder didn't say a word to these creatures before him. He simply opened his mouth without hesitation, ate them in one gulp, chewed for a moment, and then swallowed them.

The creatures that were eaten died instantly, without even having a chance to utter a single scream.

As the number of lives he consumed increased, his body continued to surge, adding one corpse after another to his body, which, judging from their outlines, were clearly the lives he had previously consumed.

The scene was truly horrifying.

One of the lives was trembling with fear, but in the end, the instinct for survival overcame the fear in his heart, and he turned and ran.

However, the ugly elder simply raised his cane, extended his arm, and easily pierced the other man's skull with a swish, then threw him into his mouth.

"Damn it!" This made Shangan lose his temper: "This guy is no good, and the directions he gave us might be wrong too. Let's just kill him!"

Li Miao, however, remained calm.

He stopped the person coming ashore, gently shaking his head to signal him to calm down.

"Things may not be as simple as they seem on the surface."

Although Li Miao did not make a move.

But they stopped in their tracks.

The ugly elder seemed to know they hadn't left, and glanced back.

But his actions of devouring lives did not stop at all, nor did he try to hide them; his body became increasingly swollen.

"Damn, they're not even going to act anymore!" Shang An couldn't help but exclaim.

after a while.

The ugly elder finally stopped devouring lives. After gently waving his hand, the lives that had been waiting before him were granted a reprieve and scattered like birds and beasts.

He turned his head and took a deep look at the two of them.

The ugly elder came to the middle of the stream, slowly sank his body, and merged into the earth...

Li Miao seemed to be deep in thought.

"...Let's continue, follow this path."

Upon hearing this, Shang An felt somewhat indignant, but he also knew that Li Miao had his own reasons.

After all, once he calmed down, he had a vague feeling about it.

This ugly elder doesn't hide anything from them when he does such things; it's not that he's reckless, but rather that he disdains to conceal it...

……

The two continued onward along the path indicated by the ugly elder.

Not long after, they came across a broken bridge on a cliff, which seemed to have been brutally destroyed by someone.

However, the broken bridge wasn't very long to begin with, and the two of them should be able to fly across it easily using the Wings of Radiance.

But what was drawing their attention now was not the broken bridge and the cliff beneath their feet, but the desolate landscape opposite.

The earth was parched and cracked, and the vegetation withered, presenting a completely opposite and extreme scene to the forest.

The two were quite puzzled.

"Go over and have a look."

Spreading their radiant wings, the two quickly landed on the other side of the broken bridge.

After glancing at the desolate surroundings, Li Miao's gaze quickly fell on a strange sand mound.

The two slowly walked up.

But soon, something unexpected happened.

As soon as the two stepped into a darker patch of earth, a claw suddenly emerged from the ground and gripped Li Miao's leg firmly. Then, a serrated bone blade extended and slashed directly at Li Miao's knee.

If this attack succeeds, Li Miao will probably be crippled instantly.

however.

when--

The serrated bone blade slashed down fiercely, yet it produced a metallic clang, and the hard, heavy leg armor remained completely unmoved.

Li Miao stared coldly at the ground.

"How dare you do that!"

The next moment, he reached out and plunged his hand into the ground, grabbing the attacker and roughly pulling him out.

"Holy crap, what an ugly thing is this?"

The person who went ashore was so shocked that they leaned back.

Looking at the ugly monster in his hand called the "Evil Infant Ant Lion," Li Miao frowned.

As its name suggests, this thing has the face of an infant with its skin raised high, and its mouth is huge, making it look extremely distorted and terrifying.

The key point is that even when Li Miao pulled it directly from underground, the other party showed no fear whatsoever, baring its teeth and claws and struggling incessantly towards Li Miao.

The monster seemed to have long lost its biological instincts, completely ignoring the powerful aura and blazing flames emanating from Li Miao and his companion.

See this situation.

Without further hesitation, Li Miao squeezed his head so hard that it shattered.

"Why didn't you let him go? You didn't even lay a hand on that ugly elder just now."

"I couldn't help but tease him as I got ashore," he said.

"How can that be the same?" Li Miao said irritably.

After dealing with the monsters at hand.

The two quickly entered the mound.

"It's a bit dark, let's light something." He muttered as he went ashore and turned on the candle.

Then, the scene inside the illuminated mound caused their pupils to involuntarily shrink.

Inside the mound, countless corpses were laid out, some in human form, some in animal form, and some were simply pools of strange liquid.

Although the spirit candles provided some information, almost all of it conveyed the same meaning.

The remains of the fallen soldiers

[Note: No matter where he came from, what he once possessed, or what ideals he held, he will ultimately be buried along with his own bones, and no one will even come to mourn him.]

"Holy crap?" He swallowed hard after getting ashore. "Could all these people have been killed by that evil infant ant lion? It only had an ember ignition point, right?"

Upon hearing the words "go ashore," Li Miao seemed to have thought of something, paused for a moment, and then frowned.

"not good!"

He had just uttered those two words.

The ground began to tremble violently, as if some terrifying behemoth was about to burst forth from the earth.

Bang!
The sand dune exploded with a loud bang, and Li Miao and the two people who had come ashore were sent flying backward.
