Mountains and rivers are waiting for you to return

Chapter 280 Extra : Turtle Shell Monster
Not knowing whether the monster was good or evil, a fight at this moment would inevitably attract the attention of other large creatures outside, and everyone felt uneasy.

The monster just stood there and watched them until its eyes suddenly turned red.

It hissed, uttering a miserable groan of pain like a beast, then quickly flapped its fins, turned around and flew away into the distance, soon disappearing in the fog.

"It was you who did it?" Pei Nai lowered his voice and asked Gu Jinheng with his mouth.

Gu Jinheng nodded and pointed at his eyes.

What he meant was that he suspected the monster had the intention to attack, so he used his divine energy to stab its eyes from the inside, making it aware of the danger and forcing it to leave.

The sudden accident has been resolved and everyone continues on their way.

After a while, they walked out of the swamp and came to the stone ground, and vaguely saw the mountain wall on the right.

They walked out of a passage on a mountain wall, passed diagonally through the thick fog, and came to the bottom of the mountain wall on the right.

This is the edge of the area closest to them.

They didn't have the energy to explore this space completely, nor did they dare to imagine how big this area was. The deeper they explored, the closer the danger was to them.

However, there was still no other exit on this side of the mountain wall, so Gu Jinheng could only lead everyone to continue moving forward along the edge of the mountain wall.

From time to time, the sounds of monsters or other noises could be heard around, making people feel nervous and scared.

After walking for a distance, Gu Jinheng suddenly looked up at the sky above the stone wall, and then led the team away from the cliff.

Everyone was a little confused, but no one dared to ask more questions under the current circumstances.

Just when the mountain wall was about to disappear from sight, someone turned around. He suddenly saw something while concentrating and asked in a low voice, "What is that?"

His voice was not loud, but since they were all warriors, they basically all heard what he said.

Everyone looked far away, and through the layers of mist, they saw several dark shadows appearing above the mountain wall they had just left.

Those things were clinging to the smooth mountain wall, motionless, and it was unknown whether they were observing them from afar.

Everyone kept moving forward.

But suddenly, one of the creatures moved, and it jumped down from a high altitude, followed by all its companions.

When it landed, everyone could see what they looked like.

Their bodies are like turtle shells, but what stick out from the four holes in the shell are limbs that look very much like human hands.

The slender arms climbed up with the people, stretched out to support the turtle shells, allowing them to stand on the ground.

The monsters rushed towards them, pushing the ground with their limbs, moving very quickly. When they reached Pei Nai's team, about five feet away, they stopped.

Everyone drew their weapons the moment they rushed out, but were confused by their stagnation.

They seem to have no eyes, or perhaps they are hiding in a hidden place.

Everyone wanted to leave quickly, but then the tortoise shell monster in the front began to slap the ground with one of its "hand"-like limbs.

The sound of beating echoed in the silent wasteland, shaking everyone's heart.

Then its companions began to follow suit, doing the same movements and even landing in sync.

When they hit the ground together, it sounded like the sound of drums, powerful and dull.

"Oh no, are they giving a warning?" Han Ruize said.

Gu Jinheng closed his eyes slightly, and his divine energy spread out, finding out the situation outside. Then he immediately said, "Let's go!"

Everyone no longer cared about the noise made by movement and ran forward with big strides.

There was no need for Gu Jinheng to warn everyone, as they could hear the noises coming from all directions; it was the sound of monsters rushing towards them.

Even above your head, you can see the shadow of a huge monster approaching.

The pressure from all things is a fatal crisis.

There was still no sign of the exit passage, and everyone ran forward frantically. Pei Nai was led by Gu Jinheng, and when a tentacle-like stone statue flashed past her left field of vision, a series of images suddenly emerged in her mind.

Pei Nai seemed to know what was going on, and his heart was trembling.

She was afraid of missing the information hidden in her brain, so she shook off Gu Jinheng's hand and ran towards the tentacle statue desperately.

Time was too tight for her to explain, but she knew everyone would catch up.

"Nell?"

"Penai!"

"Mingzhi? Where are you going?"

Many people behind her were shocked by her actions and asked worriedly.

Seeing Pei Nai's determined figure, Da Xian understood what was going on. He whispered, "No way? Another forced path-finding reminder?"

"What reminder?" Da Xi Shangle was a little confused.

Gu Jinheng and Han Ruize also heard from Pei Nai that when she, Da Xian, and Grandma Axun were in the vine net layer of the Twenty-First Domain and faced the Cyclops Snake, the Hun Tree Fragment connected to her brain and pointed her to a secret passage.

They even used this secret passage to find the rare silver-shining water jade.

But Pei Nai's pure tree fragments have been destroyed, so why do these remaining memories still appear?

"Let's go first!" Da Xian didn't even bother to explain to his sister.

Everyone immediately followed Pei Nai's steps.

As they got closer, the haze disappeared and they could finally see clearly what was behind the tentacle-clawed stone statue.

Countless stone statues with tentacles taller than humans stretched out from the ground and formed a circle. At the center of their gathering was a stone statue of an eye looking up at the sky.

The huge eyeball grew on the stone ground, facing the ceiling, and was protruding half a person's height.

"It's a bit like the one-eyed giant flower that Pei Nai killed in the fusion layer of the Lu Kingdom Secret Realm." Han Ruize described it this way.

But before everyone could digest the scene in front of them, they saw Pei Na squatting at the pupil in the center of the eye statue, and she stretched her arm into an extremely narrow cave.

Gu Jinheng's stable expression was gone, and the corners of his eyes were trembling, "Nell! What are you doing?"

"Don't reach out, it's dangerous!" Han Ruize shouted anxiously.

Pei Nai knew how to open it through the images in her mind, and when she reached her hand deep into the narrow hole, she felt something briefly intertwined with her five fingers.

It was an indescribable touch, not like flesh, nor like plants.

But before she had time to think about it, the pupil area of the statue shook and began to move downward as a whole.

Above their heads, several giant creatures were getting closer and closer to them. They blocked the light from the water on the four sides of the mountain, making the surroundings extremely dark.

The giant creature approached from all angles, making everyone's hair stand on end and their bones shudder. They felt so depressed that they could hardly breathe.

Pei Nai turned around and shouted, "Come on!!"

She didn't even finish her words before she fell straight down.

The pupil area of the statue was seen sinking continuously, forming a hollow inverted cone.

And at the center where Pei Nai fell, no light entered, and it was pitch black.

Gu Jinheng ran to the cave entrance and jumped in without hesitation.

Han Ruize did not waste any time and followed them closely, and so did the members of the alliance team behind them.

No one seems to doubt whether there is an endless abyss below?
Everyone believed in Pei Nai.
