Chapter 586 Ghostly Mist Entangling Beast

"This is the Abyss Cave!"

On one side of the training mountain of Zhenwu Academy, there is lush greenery. Deep within the greenery is a huge cave, like the entrance to an underground train. It is pitch black inside and the bottom is unknown.

Outside the cave, eight guards stood at the entrance. Seven of them stood ramrod straight, while the other sat on a rough boulder by the entrance, a blade of grass between his teeth, looking somewhat relaxed and occasionally sipping a little wine.

Whoosh!Whoosh!

Two figures swooped down from the sky and landed in front of the cave, stirring up the surrounding dust. They were Yun Wanli and Su Ping.

"The Dean?"

"Dean!"

The guards outside the cave were all taken aback when they saw Yun Wanli. The middle-aged man who had been sitting and drinking was also startled, then jumped down from the rock in fright, hid the wine jug behind his back, spat out the wild grass in his mouth, and jumped in front of Yun Wanli, respectfully saying, "Dean, what brings you here?"

"Feng Xiu, you've been guarding this place all this time. Did you see any trainees enter here a week ago?"

Yun Wanli stared at the middle-aged man, his eyes serious and cold.

The middle-aged man named Feng Xiu was taken aback, his expression changed slightly, and he forced a smile, saying, "Dean, you're joking. This is a forbidden area. How could I let those brats of students go in? Even if they get close, I'll tell them to leave."

"Shut up!"

Yun Wanli suddenly shouted, "Did someone go in from here a week ago?"

Startled by the angry shout, Feng Xiu saw Yun Wanli's furious eyes and panicked. He quickly knelt down and said, "Dean, please forgive me. It was my negligence. A week ago, I had some business to attend to and left for a while. When I returned, I heard that someone had trespassed and rushed into this place. I dared not chase after them..."

Yun Wanli's face darkened. He asked, "Was it a female student?"

"Yes." Feng Xiu lowered his head even further.

"Then why didn't you report it!"

Yun Wanli said angrily, "Do you know what kind of place this is? If students trespass, aren't they just courting death?"

"I... I'm afraid you'll blame me..." Feng Xiu said weakly, his head hitting the ground.

The seven guards behind them, seeing this, also hurriedly knelt down, heads bowed, not daring to breathe.

If even Feng Xiu, who held a title, was so afraid, their fear was even greater.

Everyone in the Zhenwu Academy knows that the Dean is a legend beyond titles, a top-tier figure in the world, and possesses unfathomable power.

"Afraid I'll blame you..." Yun Wanli was furious when he heard this.

Besides anger, he also felt somewhat powerless.

If he could report it in time, he would know sooner and be able to go in and search immediately, which would greatly increase the chances of the other party surviving. Now, a week has passed, and although he is willing to accompany Su Ping in to find someone to redeem her, he knows in his heart that Su Ping's sister has most likely already turned into bones inside.

Even the bones were gone.

Su Ping glanced at Feng Xiu kneeling on the ground, a murderous glint flashing in his eyes, which he quickly suppressed. He looked up at the cave before him and asked Yun Wanli, "Is this the Abyss Cave?"

Upon hearing Su Ping speak, Yun Wanli quickly turned around and nodded, saying, "That's right. This is one of the entrances to the Abyss Cave, guarded by our True Martial Academy for generations. Of course, we only watch over this entrance; the real guardians of the pass inside are those legendary figures in the Peak Tower who are willing to sacrifice themselves."

Su Ping nodded slightly and walked inside.

Feng Xiu, who was on the ground, was somewhat surprised to hear the conversation between the two people above him. What kind of person could speak to the dean like that?

Could it be a legend from the tower?

He didn't dare to look up. Only when he felt someone pass by did his heart, which had been in his throat, slowly return to his chest. He turned around and saw the dean and a boy walking side by side into the abyss cave. He quickly said, "Dean, are you going in?"

Yun Wanli said without turning his head, "You stay here and guard this place. I'll settle the score with you when I get back."

Feng Xiu's expression changed slightly, and he dared not say anything more.

The seven guards at the cave entrance all had their heads bowed, their foreheads covered in cold sweat.

Su Ping glanced at the seven guards and felt that they seemed a little too nervous, but he didn't think much of it and decided to find Su Lingyue, who had entered the abyss cave, first.

Live to see people, die to see corpses.

Thinking of this, the suppressed killing intent in Su Ping's eyes became even more violent.

"Be careful, King Su! Most of the creatures in this abyss cave are king-level beasts, and they are extremely ferocious."

Yun Wanli walked side by side with Su Ping into the dark cave. He raised his hand and flipped it over, and a crystal radiating a blazing white light appeared in his palm, illuminating the area around the cave.

The cave was enormous, extending deep into the cavern. The walls were covered with pits and grooves, and occasionally claw marks as long as seven or eight meters could be seen. Judging from the length of these claw marks, it was not hard to imagine what kind of huge creature had caused them.

The air was filled with a damp and murky smell, but there were no other unusual odors.

"The monsters in the Abyss Cave are all suppressed in the Abyss Tunnel deep inside the cave. There aren't many monsters around here, but occasionally a few might slip through the net, though their numbers are extremely small. Let's go to the border of the Abyss Tunnel and ask the seniors guarding there if they've seen your sister."

Yun Wanli led the way and spoke to Su Ping behind him.

Su Ping asked, "How many entrances and exits are there in this abyss cave?"

"There are more than a dozen, scattered all over the world. Some of the entrances and exits are in the deep ocean. The entrances and exits in those places have been filled by legends. After all, you can't send people to guard the sea all year round. There are more king beasts in the sea than on land. Even legends can't guard them."

As Yun Wanli walked, he said, "There are five entrances to the abyss in the Asian continent region, and our Zhenwu Academy is one of them. It is about two hundred miles from this entrance to the abyss tunnel."

Su Ping frowned as he gazed at the cave that was continuously cascading downwards, stretching for more than two hundred miles.

"How did that abyss cave form?" Su Ping asked as they walked.

Yun Wanli shook his head slightly and said, "This is a very long time ago. I heard it happened in the early days of the Star Pet Era. There are rumors that the early awakened battle pet masters drove all the powerful monsters on the ground to the underground abyss. There are also rumors that the abyss has existed for a long time, and all monsters were born from the abyss. No one can tell which one it is, and there is no need to tell."

Su Ping frowned and fell silent.

In the empty cave, only the echoes of their footsteps remained.

The light emanating from the crystal in Yun Wanli's hand moved forward continuously, and the two of them gradually went deeper into the cave along the steep slope.

After walking for dozens of miles, Su Ping's nose twitched slightly as he smelled a bloody odor.

His expression changed slightly, and he said in a low voice, "There's blood in it."

Yun Wanli was taken aback, his expression hardening. Suddenly, a spatial vortex appeared behind him, from which a figure seven or eight meters tall floated out – a king-level demon pet.

At seven or eight meters tall, it looks huge, but among king-level pets, it is definitely considered petite.

Su Ping was quite familiar with undead and demon pets, and recognized it at a glance as a Ghost Mist Eye Beast, with the bloodline of the Void Realm. The one in front of him had not yet reached its peak and was only at the Vast Ocean Realm.

At its peak, the Ghost Mist Eye Beast stands ten meters tall and possesses considerable close-combat capabilities.

For a king-level monster to grow to its peak, it cannot be achieved simply by eating and sleeping. It must be supplemented with some precious pet food. Otherwise, if it does not reach its peak when its life energy is at its fullest after its prime, it will fall into a period of decline, and its combat power will only decrease day by day.

"go."

Yun Wanli said in a low voice.

call!

At his command, the Ghost Mist Beast's body suddenly swayed, transforming into a wisp of dark smoke that dissipated into the cave, flying deeper into the darkness and merging with the surrounding environment.

Su Ping knew that he had sent the Ghost Mist-Entangled Beast to scout ahead.

"Let's go."

Yun Wanli said to Su Ping.

Su Ping nodded and continued walking forward.

After traveling several dozen miles, Su Ping and Yun Wanli saw the remains of several huge monsters in a cave. The bones were snow-white, indicating that they had been dead for many years, and even the flesh and blood had rotted away and disappeared.

The two continued forward, and the closer they got, the stronger the stench of blood became in the air.

Suddenly, Yun Wanli stopped in his tracks. His expression changed, and he turned to Su Ping, saying, "My Big-Eyed Beast has signaled to me that there is danger ahead!"

Su Ping was taken aback, then frowned and said, "Wasn't this just an entrance/exit passage? Ahead lies the entrance to the Abyss Tunnel, guarded by legendary figures. How could there be any danger?"

A look of surprise and doubt flashed in Yun Wanli's eyes. Indeed, another seventy or eighty miles ahead was the pass guarded by the legendary figure. Could it be that his pet beast had encountered the legendary figure guarding that pass?

No, if it were a legendary entity, it wouldn't send out this kind of signal.

After all, his Ghost Mist Eye Beast was a king-level beast with considerable intelligence, capable of distinguishing between the threat posed by humans and demonic beasts.
