Chapter 179: Different Species In The City
On the beams, at this moment, hundreds of crimson eyes were staring fixedly at Chu Qianqiu.
Chu Qianqiu immediately flashed to the side, followed by a loud stomping sound coming from beside him, the sound of a giant monster landing.
"Damn, what is this thing?"
Liu Jiangnan also quickly noticed something unusual and quickly dodged to the side.
In the smoke and dust, the two finally found the first "living person", a gigantic creature with countless human heads lodged in its chest, appearing in front of them.
Using his own firelight, Chu Qianqiu looked in the direction of the creature and discovered that it had a body like a giant beast, but with numerous human heads on its chest.
This creature was neither beast nor human, with a crawling posture, staring intently at him.
This was the first time Chu Qianqiu had seen such a strange creature in this world, so he didn't dare to be careless and wondered how to deal with it.
"Be careful, this monster actually has the strength of the Gold Core realm!"
Seeing the monster turn around and quickly rush towards Liu Jiangnan, Chu Qianqiu quickly warned, realizing that the monster had intelligence and deliberately chose the weaker opponent.
Upon hearing the situation, Liu Jiangnan immediately resisted.
If this monster was only in the Gold Core realm, he wasn't afraid.
A sword qi came sweeping through, and Liu Jiangnan struck with a single blow.
The monster came with great momentum, but ultimately couldn't withstand the attack and was cut in half by a sword.
However, even though it had been cut in half, the monster was still able to move and had not yet died out.
The monster's body began to approach again, reassembling itself, with a creepy and chilling appearance.
Seeing this, Chu Qianqiu had no choice but to come over and help.
He ignited the monster's body, allowing it to be completely burned to ashes by the heavenly fire, finally putting an end to everything.
"What on earth is this thing? Why does it have so many human heads?"
After the monster was completely dead, Liu Jiangnan finally breathed a sigh of relief.
"That's not the point. The point is that with our strength, we couldn't even detect the presence of this monster."
"It can hide its aura extremely well until the moment it strikes."
Chu Qianqiu said, most wary of this monster's characteristics.
Although this monster didn't seem strong, if it successfully ambushed them, it would still cause unexpected harm to both of them.
"Yes, indeed. Let's leave first."
"It's not suitable to stay here for long."
Carefully walking out of the tavern, after dealing with one monster, the two naturally remained vigilant for the appearance of a second one.
"I think I have guessed the identity of this monster. It is formed by the dead members of the Integrated Union."
Suddenly speaking, Chu Qianqiu had already figured out the situation of the monster, so he made a judgment.
Liu Jiangnan held the same opinion, but what both of them didn't know was why these good people would end up like this.
"They couldn't all be residents of the imperial city, right?"
"How did they end up like this... What caused it?"
"And also, could the disappearance of the cultivators who entered this place earlier be related to these monsters?"
Thinking of this, the two shuddered.
Inside this black veil, it had become a prison, and the fate of those who entered couldn't be controlled by themselves.
Inside, there were monsters they had never seen before.
It could be said that after entering the black veil, this place became another world, a world that didn't belong to humans.
...
"For now, let's not think too much and continue forward."
"These monsters may be terrifying, but they currently pose no threat to us."
Chu Qianqiu remained serious and continued to move forward.
Liu Jiangnan followed closely behind, and the two of them remained vigilant of their surroundings.
Gradually, they walked further along the road.
They discovered that as long as they stayed on the roadside, this dark city seemed to be safe.
The monsters never seemed to roam the streets; they had only encountered one in a tavern.
After walking for a while, Liu Jiangnan suddenly had a realization and said that it might be because of the flames on Chu Qianqiu's body that they had remained safe.
"Qianqiu, your flames should be able to restrain those monsters."
"That monster we encountered earlier was only at the Gold Core stage, and my sword couldn't kill it. But you can use your flames to incinerate them."
"Well, maybe... that could be the reason."
"Father-in-law, what do you see ahead?"
While chatting, the two of them had arrived at a square in the imperial city.
In the square, there was a faint light.
They quickly sensed the presence of living beings within the light.
The presence seemed weak, with a hint of impending extinction.
Without wasting any time, they went directly to the scene to investigate.
By the time they arrived, the light had already extinguished, leaving only the loud growls of the monsters.
Several monstrous creatures, even larger than the ones they encountered earlier, stood in their way like towering towers, incredibly terrifying.
Chu Qianqiu glanced and noticed a group of exhausted cultivators beneath these gigantic monsters, huddled together in despair.
It was clear that they had been fighting against these abominations, but now they were powerless to resist.
Without thinking, Chu Qianqiu knew that if he had arrived even a moment later, these people would have met a dead end.
"Tianhuo, appear!"
Two flaming longswords materialized in his hands.
Chu Qianqiu swiftly killed the monsters in front of him, igniting their bodies with raging heavenly fire, reducing them to ashes.
The strength of these monsters had already reached the late stage of the Gold Core realm, which was terrifying and far beyond what normal cultivators could handle.
After eliminating them, the group of cultivators trapped among the monsters dared to open their eyes, astonished to find themselves saved.
"What's going on? We're saved?"
"Could it be that stronger monsters are coming?"
Thinking that these monsters had died, the first thought that came to the minds of these cultivators was not to celebrate, but to fear the arrival of new monsters.
Having experienced everything, they knew that these monsters would devour each other and become stronger over time.
If the monsters in front of them had died, it was highly likely that a stronger monster had killed them and would soon devour them as well.
It was only when they saw the two humans gradually approaching that they relaxed.
"Who are you?"
One of the cultivators approached Chu Qianqiu and asked, finally easing his nervousness.
However, most of the cultivators instantly fell unconscious upon seeing Chu Qianqiu.
They had been fighting against the monsters for too long, and now they were physically and mentally exhausted, but they had never dared to let their guard down.
It was only when they saw the monsters being dealt with and the arrival of a powerful ally that they collapsed.
...
Chu Qianqiu looked at the few individuals who were still conscious and noticed their attire, realizing that they were indeed cultivators.
He infused them with some spiritual energy to prevent them from fainting.
Now, he had some questions to ask, and these individuals needed to remain conscious for the interrogation.
