Chapter 605: Chapter 476: Cavern Abyss, Centipede Disaster

The east foothills of the giant mountain were a vast forest, with gently sloping terrain and a sea of evenly spread green tree crowns as far as the eye could see.

The final destination of Chu Mu and Princess Jinrou, Chen Lake, was located at the easternmost end of this perilous forest.

At this moment, at the foot of the giant mountain, stood the female sovereign, cold and lifeless, on a steep rock face, her eyes staring at the slope of the mountain under her feet.

Next to the female sovereign was the soul-damaged Pan Zheng, who could now only summon two soul pets, one of which was carrying the severely injured Shen Yicheng.

“Master, why have you stopped?” Pan Zheng asked.

“You wait here,” said the female sovereign.

Pan Zheng didn’t quite understand. Most of the other contestants had already reached the west end of the giant mountain, and it would take less than half a day to cross it. If they didn’t take advantage of their lead to reach the end of the Mysterious Realm, they might not be able to achieve the highest honor.

“Master, are you worried about Ling He? There is no one in the second-tier who could possibly contend with him, let alone that many killers still exist. How could the little princess of the Nightmare Demon Palace and Soul Hall Chu Chen possibly stand against him? If it weren’t for that fusion skill, it would have been easy for me to kill Soul Hall Chu Chen!” said Pan Zheng.

The female sovereign did not speak, only telling Pan Zheng to wait there, and then went back on her own.

Pan Zheng dared not defy the orders of his master and could only stand by and watch as the female sovereign retreated back into the giant mountain, walking towards the entrance of one of the caves.

After the female sovereign slowly entered the pitch-black cave, her empty eyes gradually filled with a calm luster.

As she entered the cave, her clothes fluttered strangely, as if some power was overflowing from her body, forming a powerful aura.

Around her were many pairs of red eyes, all of which were insect species dwelling in the cave. However, when the female sovereign walked past them, these creatures were frightened and hid themselves in the nests they had dug, not daring to come out again.

As she advanced, it was as if some kind of seal had been lifted from her body, and she was enveloped in a cold, dark aura!

Gradually, her eyes regained their normal movement, cold and piercing. Her perfect face exuded an aloof and noble air that kept others at a distance.

At this moment, she no longer looked like a lifeless walking corpse but more like a true ice beauty – a dark, blood-flower queen, making it impossible for others to tell whether she was a Soul Pet Master or a humanoid incarnation of a top-tier creature!

Entering a pathway full of countless forks, the female sovereign closed her eyes and began to sense Chu Mu’s presence.

It seemed as if she had already found Chu Mu’s whereabouts, and she slowly opened her eyes, heading straight in a certain direction…

…

…

Strange wriggling sounds could be heard in the pitch-black cave. The red light of the flame revealed the shapes of some very long objects that suddenly moved when they found part of their bodies exposed by the light. They quickly crawled into the shadows beyond the reach of the light, always hiding in the dark and watching those who entered the cave.

Each of the thousands of legs of the giant centipedes was about ten meters long, truly gigantic. Considering how many of these monsters there were, one could only imagine just how vast the caves in this giant mountain must be to house so many.

“Bing Ying, Ice Blade!” Princess Jinrou commanded.

The Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon darted through the cave, its frost-covered claw blades weaving above the huge cavern. A few cold, moon-like streaks of light flashed!

“Swish, swish, swish!”

The black thousand-leg centipede couldn’t withstand this sharp attack, and its ten-meter-long body was cut into several segments, falling from a high place to the ground.

Princess Jinrou withdrew her soul sense, glanced at the centipede corpses scattered all over the ground, and her eyes seemed to show that she was not used to this kind of slaughter…

“Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!”

The sound of rapid running came from a pitch-black passage.

Soon, the extremely fast Fox Elder ran in front of Princess Jinrou, waving his short arms and saying, “They’re all coming to kill us, hurry up and go this way.”

As soon as the Fox Elder finished speaking, he immediately rushed towards another passage, and Princess Jinrou, feeling the killers were close by, hurriedly followed him.

However, before Princess Jinrou could reach the cave entrance, the Mo Ye, its body engulfed in Crown Flame, dashed back with its nine gorgeous fox tails.

“Woo, woo, woo!”

Mo Ye called out to the Fox Elder and Princess Jinrou, indicating that there were many enemies on this path as well.

“This is troublesome.” Cold sweat broke out all over the Fox Elder’s body.

Princess Jinrou bit her red lips. There were only four passages in this cave, and the people pursuing her from behind were Ling He and his group. Ling He was too strong, and Princess Jinrou didn’t dare to confront him head-on.

Both directions that Master Li and Mo Ye explored had a large number of assassins, and there was no way that Princess Jinrou could break through them.

The other path was filled with nests of thousand-leg centipedes. There was airflow in this passage, indicating that it wasn’t a dead-end. However, there must be countless centipedes lurking there, and entering would be like seeking death…

“Bingying, lead the way. Dark Demon Shura, restrain any centipedes that attack us…” In the end, Princess Jinrou decided to take the path filled with centipedes.

Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon led the way, Dark Demon Shura protected Princess Jinrou and Chu Mu’s safety, the Rock Element Monarch followed behind, ensuring they wouldn’t be ambushed by assassins, and the White Demon Princess followed beside Princess Jinrou, ready to attack at any time.

White Demon Princess was Princess Jinrou’s White Nightmare Demon, whose strength had reached the Ninth Rank Middle Stage – Intermediate Monarch. Her chilling aura revealed that she was a White Nightmare Demon about to step into the High-Level Monarch tier!

The Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon was extremely aggressive, and every centipede that hadn’t reached the Tenth Rank was instantly killed by this Ice Fox.

Soon, the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon killed a path through the centipede-infested area that was a hundred meters long. Princess Jinrou couldn’t care less about the disgusting and dirty insect corpses, so she stepped on them and ran without stopping.

“They’re nearby and will catch up soon…” Master Li quickly ran back and said to the solemn-looking Princess Jinrou.

Princess Jinrou didn’t speak, and continued to let the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon lead the way.

Finally, after killing more than a dozen thousand-leg centipedes, Princess Jinrou found herself facing a cavern that resembled an underground palace hall.

This cavern was also full of holes, with countless traces of centipedes left behind, but fortunately, there was a cave leading to another location.

“Little Princess, watch your step…” Master Li panicked and jumped onto Zhan Ye’s back, pointing exaggeratedly at the ground beneath.

This cavern also had an upper layer, and the ground was covered in rock layers that were clearly hollow…

Mo Ye’s body was constantly burning with Crown Flames, and as the flames shone below the hollowed-out rock, it was revealed that beneath the rock was a black abyss!!

In fact, the underground space underneath the cavern wasn’t an abyss at all, but rather the entire cavern was an abyss itself. Merely at the top of the abyss, a large piece of rock had condensed.

The rock layers covered the upper half of the abyss, forming the hollowed-out rock surface, and above this rock surface was a fragile cavern floor. Below the ground, there was a terrifying abyss that would make people tremble upon a single glance!!

“Huu~~~~~~”

Mo Ye’s Crown Flames moved downward slightly, trying to illuminate the bottom of the abyss.

Princess Jinrou also looked down, but as soon as she did, her face turned pale with fright!!

The pitch-black abyss was incredibly vast, and its upper and lower parts were narrow and wide. At the bottom of the abyss was a giant sinkhole that was thousands of meters in diameter!!

Mo Ye’s flame moved downward, shining only in a small corner…

Yet, in that corner, within a few hundreds of meters from the radius of the flame, numerous twisted bodies imprinted with red intertwined and slowly writhed!

With razor-sharp tendrils like sickles, their bodies dripped with disgusting armor, and their hideously large skulls and terrifying slender bodies…

The entire area illuminated by the flame was filled with centipedes!!!

These centipedes were either intertwined, secreting disgusting fluids; or half-erect, waving their ten-meter-long terrifying bodies and thousands of sickle-like legs; or curled up around stalactites, one circle after another; or half-clinging to the abyss wall, ready to pounce!!

A pitch-black abyss suddenly filled with countless frightening monsters and innumerable hideous bodies!

The area covered by the flame was full of centipedes, and one could only imagine how terrifying the dark area beyond would be, with creatures so disgusting and terrifying lurking there!!!

Princess Jinrou almost suffocated upon seeing this sight!!

She knew that beneath her, at the bottom of the giant abyss hundreds of meters deep, lay the true nest of the thousand-leg centipedes. If she fell, she would be devoured by those terrifying centipedes, leaving nothing behind!!

“Mo Ye, quickly retract your flames!” Princess Jinrou anxiously told Mo Ye.

creatures living in darkness hate light the most, and if the centipedes below were disturbed, Princess Jinrou, Chu Mu, and their Soul Pets would all be buried here, even without the assassins coming after them.

Master Li had noticed that the ground below the cavern was a centipede hell, so he jumped onto Zhan Ye’s back to avoid accidentally falling.

“Little Princess, let’s… let’s leave this place first,” Master Li said.

Princess Jinrou’s pale face showed her fear of the centipedes beneath her feet, and she shivered all over.

She hopped onto the Ice Crystal Curse Marked Fox Demon’s back, chose a tunnel, and led her own and Chu Mu’s Soul Pets away from this horrifying place quickly.
