I am a coroner, and I have some knowledge of martial arts!

On the banks of the Li River.

A gentle breeze blew by, carrying moisture from the Li River, and brushed against everyone's faces.

Pairs of eyes were fixed on the spot where the fat beef had fallen into the water, and gradually, ripples appeared on the calm surface of the water.

Liu Rumin smiled slightly, "You're here!"

"Get the talismans ready. We don't want anything going wrong and costing us our lives!"

Faced with Liu Rumin's reminder, everyone naturally dared not neglect it.

The monsters underwater are capable of killing an eighth-grade cultivator with a single blow. The slightest mistake could mean the end of them all!

So, one by one, they took out talismans and pasted them on their bodies.

The surface of the Li River began to tremble violently, as if some monster below had been greatly disturbed.

Bang!

A torn, fat cow flew out of the water.

"What have you done to deserve such wrath? What infuriating thing have you done to make it so angry?"

"It's nothing."

Liu Rumin casually replied, and seeing that Shangguan Yun was still staring at her curiously, she explained, "It's just that I added a little bit of seasoning to that demon bull."

"seasoning?"

Shangguan Yun raised an eyebrow. "You poisoned the demon bull?"

"What else?"

Liu Rumin remained calm. "Knowing that this Devouring Beast is very strong, I can't just stand by and watch it eat and drink its fill, then come and attack our people, can I?"

"..."

Faced with Liu Rumin's righteous and eloquent reply, Shangguan Yun fell silent.

but.

He did not deny that Liu Rumin's actions were correct.

The demon bull was poisoned. If it is eaten by the Devouring Beast, the Devouring Beast's body will be affected and its strength will be greatly reduced!

This undoubtedly greatly enhances the safety of Lao Mo and others.

As for the Devouring Beast...

Such a monster should not exist in the Li River!

Whoosh!

The Devouring Beast broke through the water's surface, revealing its disgusting shape.

Even Su Wuchen, who had seen the appearance of the Devouring Beast in the game before, couldn't help but feel nauseous.

Not to mention Zhao Fei and the others, they all felt disgusted as if they had seen excrement.

Each slender tentacle, covered in scales, reflected a slightly viscous sheen in the moonlight.

Its enormous mouthparts opened and closed repeatedly, as if stimulated by poison.

"Let's do it!"

At Shangguan Yun's command, a dozen or so martial artists, led by Lao Mo, rushed forward.

One talisman after another was thrown at the Devouring Beast below, seemingly without any regard for cost.

Unfortunately.

A ninth-grade talisman poses little threat to a devouring beast.

Although rank eight talismans have some destructive power, they are not enough to kill. More importantly, rank eight talismans are too expensive.

Such damage is a complete waste of money compared to the price of an eighth-grade talisman.

"Something's not right with this Devouring Beast."

Su Wuchen stared intently at the Devouring Beast.

Despite being only at the mid-stage of the eighth rank, he unleashed strength comparable to the peak of the eighth rank.

Moreover, this was already injured by Zhao Fei and his group, and had one of their tails cut off. Now it has been poisoned by Liu Rumin!

That's weird!

"Everyone be careful, this Devouring Beast is very strong!"

After giving a warning, Lao Mo brandished his long sword and charged towards the Devouring Beast.

The rest of the group also agreed without hesitation.

A dozen or so people brandished their weapons and charged at the Devouring Beast.

Ding ding ding.

The Devouring Beast's fine scales were like the finest armor, easily deflecting the attacks of Lao Mo and the others.

Moreover, even as the poison gradually took effect, the ferocity of the Devouring Beast did not diminish in the slightest.

Bang.

Zhao Fei let out a wail as he was flung to the shore.

If it weren't for the Vajra Talisman protecting him, that attack would have taken half his life.

"Damn, what is this thing? Why is it so hard to kill?!"

Zhao Fei couldn't help but grimace as he got up from the ground. Just then, Su Wuchen gave him a wink, and Zhao Fei slipped and fell to the ground again.

"Ouch, I'm injured, sir. Quickly, give me a healing pill."

"..."

Faced with Zhao Fei's plea for help, Shangguan Yun, with a dark expression, flicked his finger, and a pill landed in front of Zhao Fei.

"You may leave now."

"Thank you, sir."

Zhao Fei put away the pills and walked to Su Wuchen's side.

Su Wuchen quietly gave Zhao Fei a thumbs up. Well done.

Zhao Fei winked and then popped the pill into his mouth to begin healing.

In front of Shangguan Yun and the others, he was knocked away by the Devouring Beast and then asked for pills. This script has to continue.

but.

While pretending to heal his wounds, Zhao Fei was also nervously watching the battle situation.

How could the injured and poisoned Devouring Beast possibly withstand the encirclement and attack of Lao Mo and the others?

That's incredibly powerful!

Are all the monsters in the forbidden area this terrifying?

As time passed, the poison's effects fully manifested within the Devouring Beast's body.

The Devouring Beast, which had initially been able to withstand the combined attack from Lao Mo and the others, gradually found itself unable to wield its tentacles any longer.

As the Devouring Beast's power disappeared, the scales on its body gradually lost their original defensive capabilities!

Large amounts of scales fell off the tentacles, and the wounds continued to multiply!

Seeing that the situation was settled, Shangguan Yun said softly, "Why are the Devouring Beasts, which should be located within the forbidden area, here?"

Liu Rumin shook her head. "This matter really needs to be investigated thoroughly."

At this point, Liu Rumin suddenly whispered, "Do you think the reason we were sent here is because they knew about the Devouring Beast beforehand?"

"Probably not."

Shangguan Yun shook his head. "The karma surrounding those demons within the forbidden area is too complex to be resolved easily. The Heavenly Mystery Sect won't waste its time and effort calculating these things..."

Liu Rumin: "But they deduced that something big was about to happen here."

Shangguan Yun remained silent.

Meanwhile, under the siege of Lao Mo and the others, the Devouring Beast finally could not withstand the onslaught. Large amounts of blood flowed continuously from its wounds, and its huge mouth emitted continuous howls.

This is……

Cry for help!

Su Wuchen's expression changed slightly; this was exactly the same as the cry for help he had heard in the game.

Could it be that there are even more Devouring Beasts lurking deep within the Li River?

Upon realizing this, Su Wuchen couldn't help but tense up, his eyes constantly searching the surface of the Li River.

However, to Su Wuchen's surprise, no second Devouring Beast appeared even after the Devouring Beast was dismembered and killed.

"My lord, the Devouring Beast has been slain."

"take away."

Shangguan Yun left after uttering those words.

Liu Rumin then approached Su Wuchen's side. "What are you looking at?"

"grown ups."

Su Wuchen looked over and thought, "The sound of the Devouring Beast just now was a bit off."

"Does it sound like a cry for help?"

"right."

Su Wuchen nodded.

Liu Rumian smiled and said, "It is very difficult for the monsters in the forbidden area to escape successfully. The appearance of a Devouring Beast in the Li River is already quite remarkable."

Su Wuchen pondered, "Could it be that there are restrictions on the forbidden area, and that experts have set up defenses?"

Liu Rumin smiled. "Otherwise, wouldn't they have all run away?"

"Put the Devouring Beast on the vehicle and drive it around the city."

"yes!"

The group tied the Devouring Beast to the back of the car. Su Wuchen looked at the surface of the Li River and got into the car with Zhao Fei.

gurgling.

Bubbles appeared at the site of the Devouring Beast's death, disappearing quickly like boiling water.
