Chapter 343 Getting There First!

It let out a scream as the tentacles on its head were severed, and the Twin Blood Lotuses fell into Song Wanning's hands.

Seeing that the treasure that was about to be in his hands was gone, the monster roared angrily and raised its claws to slap Song Wanning without thinking.

Only then did Song Wanning see the size of the monster clearly; its enormous body covered the entire area beneath the spiritual spring.

Moreover, the aura emanating from it was at least that of a sixth-tier demon beast, equivalent to the Void Refinement stage in humans.

However, its aura fluctuated, suggesting that it was about to advance to the next level.

Song Wanning's brows furrowed. Regardless of cultivation level or physique, her opponent was much stronger than her, and she couldn't afford to fight head-on.

A flurry of thoughts rushed through her mind. She quickly placed the Twin Blood Lotuses into her storage ring and swam toward the shore.

At this moment, the monster's claws were raised, aimed directly at her head.

Song Wanning turned around and slashed with her sword. The powerful sword light pushed back the monster's claws, and she also found an opportunity to dodge.

As the palm whistled past, she used the force to propel herself forward and successfully reached the shore.

Without even a moment to rest, a fierce glint flashed in her eyes, and she turned around to unleash a bolt of divine lightning.

The monster was angrily chasing after her, but as soon as its head surfaced, it was struck by divine lightning.

The monster was already afraid of lightning, let alone this kind of divine lightning from the heavens. It was so frightened that it immediately hid at the bottom of the spring.

"boom--"

With a deafening roar, countless bolts of lightning surged from the spring, striking the monster and causing it to scream in agony, its entire body trembling.

Song Wanning originally intended to take this opportunity to escape, but the divine lightning, while blocking the pursuit, drove the demon beast somewhat mad.

It roared and pounded wildly, as if that would break the divine lightning that was binding it.

"Boom-"

"boom--"

Countless impacts rose from the bottom of the spring, and Song Wanning's figure, which had just taken off, was struck and quickly fell to the ground.

At this moment, the monster had already struggled to its feet, one claw resting on the shore, trying to break free from the power of lightning.

Before Song Wanning could even regain her footing, she slashed out with her sword again.

In its panic, the monster struggled to its feet, only to be struck again and howled in pain. After a series of thrashing motions, it finally managed to struggle out of the spiritual spring.

"Pooh--"

It spat out the blood from its mouth, its whole body was still numb and in pain, and it couldn't muster any strength.

What angered it even more was that when it looked up, the culprit had vanished!

The Nightmare Beast's eyes were seeing stars, and it was so angry that its chest ached.

"Okay, okay -"

It suddenly spoke in a human voice, "Damn it, she actually got away! I'll kill you!!!"

After staking out for over ten years, I finally managed to sneak over while that guy was out, only to have it snatched away by some stinky human.

And such a commotion will definitely attract that guy back.

"Damn it, I have to clean up this mess!!!"

Seeing the marks left by its massive body, the Nightmare Beast hastily destroyed the evidence before sinking back to the bottom of the pool and running away through the tunnel it had dug.

The original owner of this place was a seventh-tier demonic beast, and it was no match for it.

But for the sake of these twin blood lotuses, it has painstakingly dormant for over ten years!

During this time, they dared not move or make a sound, remaining huddled deep underground, for fear of making any noise that might wake the seventh-tier demon beast.

Today, I finally waited until that monster was in heat, so I sneaked over. Just as I was about to pick the blood lotus, it was not only uprooted, but someone also stabbed me in the head.

Finally, he was struck by lightning and was completely disoriented, feeling both pained and humiliated.

"Damn it, I don't believe you can escape. When I find you, I'll swallow you whole!!!"

……

The sound of divine thunder was extremely abrupt throughout the cannibal valley, attracting the attention of almost every creature in the vicinity.

The Crimson Wind Beast, who was just finding a female beast to roam freely, suddenly stiffened, its face turning pale for a moment.

It kicked away the mother beast in front of it and hurriedly ran out of the cave. The divine thunder was no longer visible, but the commotion clearly indicated it was coming from its own cave.

"Woooooooo..."

It angrily slammed its paw on the ground and darted away.

It had thoroughly checked the area before coming out and found no monsters nearby!
And it's only been out for a short while, it shouldn't be that unlucky, right?
The Crimson Wind Beast was extremely anxious, its rapidly advancing figure like a whirlwind, so fast that only afterimages remained.

At the same time, Xiao Heyun, who was rushing over, stopped in his tracks and looked in surprise at the divine lightning that flashed by in the distance.

Isn't this the direction the system was pointing out?

His heart skipped a beat, and he became anxious.

"System, system, has something happened to that treasure?"

"Probably!"

The system also felt a pang of anxiety. With limited energy, it quickly activated its survey function and discovered that the treasure was still in that direction.

"Quick, the baby's still over there! Any later and something might go wrong!"

The thunderous roar will surely attract the attention of other creatures, making it difficult for the host to take the item away.

Xiao Heyun immediately sped up, his expression growing increasingly grim.

"This is the second time I've seen divine lightning recently..."

A thoughtful look flashed across his eyes. Back when he was chasing the Heavenly Demon, he happened to witness the Heavenly Demon being struck by lightning...

How long has it been?

Xiao Heyun narrowed his eyes as he pictured Song Wanning's stunning face.

"System, do you think it's possible that the divine lightning was cast by someone?"

"For example, those mutated lightning spirit roots..."

Suspicion arose in his heart: Could the divine thunder be related to Song Wanning?

"impossible."

The system shook its head decisively.

"This is divine lightning from the heavens, strictly speaking, it's equivalent to divine punishment, not just ordinary heavenly lightning!"

"The mutated lightning spirit root only makes one stronger in combat and allows one to create lightning-attribute talismans. Those with exceptional talent might be able to summon heavenly lightning, but that's a talent that's one in ten thousand..."

Ordinary people wouldn't dare to come into contact with the Nine Heavens Divine Thunder, let alone trigger it.

It dared not even imagine that someone would introduce the Divine Thunder Seed into its body; wouldn't that lead to its sudden death?

Even with a mustard seed space, I wouldn't dare do this...

"is it?"

Xiao Heyun breathed a sigh of relief, and his doubts gradually disappeared.

If the system says it's impossible, then it's definitely impossible.

"It seems this extraordinary phenomenon must be caused by the baby maturing!!!"

A glint flashed in his eyes, and he quickened his pace.

Finally, he arrived at the cave and plunged inside without a second thought.

Once inside, the entire cave was a mess, and the spring water had soaked the banks.

The place was a complete mess.

The baby has vanished without a trace.

"grass!!!"

"Who the hell stole the treasure first?"

Xiao Heyun's face instantly turned dark. He picked up his long sword and began to swing it wildly, venting his anger.

The system also had a dark expression, never expecting that someone else would beat it to it.

However, before they could think any further, something suddenly darted into the cave!
