Chapter 349 I want to make a contract with it!!!

Deep in Jiang Yun's eyes,

the blue light in his pupils quietly faded.

But the lines of information

were already deeply imprinted in his mind.

Nether Abyss Light-Devouring Beast.

Top-tier Meteor Aptitude.

Light-Devouring Body.

Death Qi Domain.

Necromantic Summoning.

Potential to evolve to Divine-Grade.

And that trace of the Ancient Nether Abyss Divine Beast Bloodline.

Jiang Yun's heart skipped a beat.

This wasn't a Common Vicious Beast.

This was a peerless Aptitude capable of standing alongside Little Fire and Little Skylark.

Even, in some aspects, it was even more rare.

Light-Devouring Body!

It can devour all light-attribute energy and is immune to light-system damage.

Death Qi Domain.

Continuously erodes living beings and converts life force.

Necromantic Summoning!

Summons the remnant Souls of the dead for its own use.

If this ability were cultivated... light flickered in Jiang Yun's eyes.

A thought burned in his heart like a raging fire.

I want to contract it!

I must contract it!

But for now,

this wasn't the time to think about that.

Vicious Beasts were gradually appearing around them.

Dozens of Vicious Beasts were watching them like tigers watching their prey.

That Purple Crystal Tier 5 Nether Abyss Light-Devouring Beast stood in the center of the Death Qi, quietly watching them with those deathly eyes.

Behind it was that mysterious crystal emitting a seven-colored glow.

In front of it was a dense swarm of Vicious Beasts.

Caught between a rock and a hard place.

"It's over, it's over, it's over!"

Lei Qing's voice carried obvious panic.

He looked around at the cold beast eyes, cold sweat dripping from his forehead.

"This... there must be over twenty of them, right?!"

"And they're all Amethyst Rank!"

"Today... I'm afraid we're going to meet our end here!"

He clenched his fists, his knuckles turning white.

Sensing its master's emotions, Thunder Beast let out a low growl, thunder light flickering around its body.

But it didn't dare act rashly.

Because among those Vicious Beasts, several auras were stronger than its own.

Liu Qingshuang didn't speak.

But for the first time, an obvious gravity appeared on her cold face.

Beside her, Profound Frost Heavenly Luan's ice-blue feathers stood slightly on end, a sign of tension.

She glanced at Jiang Yun.

Her lips moved slightly as if she wanted to say something, but in the end, she didn't speak.

Xiao Chen remained calm.

But his gaze constantly swept over the Vicious Beasts.

He was calculating.

Calculating the gap between friend and foe.

Calculating escape routes.

Calculating survival odds.

Then,

he closed his eyes and let out a soft breath.

When he opened them again, there was a trace of bitterness in his eyes.

No escape.

There was simply no escape.

Vicious Beasts were everywhere.

Unless they sprouted wings.

No, even with wings, they wouldn't be able to fly out of this cave.

Because Vicious Beasts were also perched on the cave ceiling.

Xiao Jianshan's face was as pale as paper.

He had lived for most of his life and experienced countless battles.

But he had never seen such a lineup.

Over twenty Amethyst Vicious Beasts.

And an existence with an aura so terrifying it made his Soul tremble.

He looked at Fierce Tiger Li.

Fierce Tiger Li was in even worse shape.

His legs were shaking.

The scene of being pushed out by Zhao Zhao earlier had scared the wits out of him.

At this moment, he couldn't even stand steadily.

As for Zhao Zhao... he was currently shrinking back desperately.

Squeezing into the crowd.

Hiding behind Jiang Yun.

His Blazing Sun Golden Lion had already been torn to shreds by a single claw from that Nether Abyss Light-Devouring Beast.

Its remains were still scattered nearby, dripping with blood.

He no longer had any combat power.

At this moment, he was just a useless person who couldn't even lift a finger.

He was trembling all over, his face pale, his lips purple.

His eyes were full of fear.

"Let... let me hide for a bit..."

"Let me hide for a bit..."

He muttered in a low voice, desperately trying to burrow into the crowd.

Fierce Tiger Li suddenly turned his head.

Seeing Zhao Zhao's face, anger instantly ignited in his eyes.

"You still have the face to hide?!"

He grabbed Zhao Zhao's collar and roared.

"You fucking pushed me out to die just now!"

"Are you even human?!"

"A Heaven Ranking Prodigy? A Prodigy student of Sky Dome Academy?"

"Pah!"

He spat fiercely in Zhao Zhao's face.

"You're fucking worse than a beast!"

Xiao Jianshan also looked at Zhao Zhao coldly.

He didn't speak.

But that gaze was even more humiliating to Zhao Zhao than Fierce Tiger Li's roar.

It was disappointment.

It was disdain.

It was complete and utter disregard.

Lei Qing let out a cold laugh.

"Yo, isn't this our great Heaven Ranking Genius?"

"Weren't you acting pretty arrogant just now?"

"Why are you burrowing into the crowd now?"

"Where's your battle beast? Where's your pride?"

With every sentence he spoke, Zhao Zhao's face grew a shade paler.

Finally, Zhao Zhao's entire body was shaking.

Not from fear.

But from shame and indignation.

He hated.

He hated Jiang Yun.

He hated Lei Qing.

He hated everyone.

But he didn't dare make a sound.

Because he knew that if he dared to talk back now, these people really would throw him out to feed the Vicious Beasts.

Liu Qingshuang didn't look at Zhao Zhao.

As if he didn't exist at all.

Xiao Chen didn't look either.

That kind of person wasn't worth a second glance.

Jiang Yun only gave Zhao Zhao a cold, passing glance.

That gaze was like looking at an ant.

Then he withdrew his vision.

Such a person didn't deserve him wasting his time.

What he needed to think about now was how to solve the current predicament.

At the same time, he had to contract that Nether Abyss Light-Devouring Beast.

He looked at that Purple Crystal Tier 5 existence.

It still stood there.

Surrounded by Death Qi.

It didn't attack.

It just watched.

As if it were waiting for something.

Jiang Yun's heart stirred.

Could it be... it was waiting for him?

This thought flashed by and was quickly suppressed.

Now was not the time for such thoughts.

He needed to let the others get out first.

Otherwise, when he contracted the Vicious Beast later, they would only be a burden.

And they would affect Fox Immortal's move.

——

He took a deep breath.

The contract transmission quietly connected to Fox Immortal.

"Fox Immortal."

"Hm?"

That cold female voice quickly responded.

"I need your help."

"Speak."

"Suppress these Vicious Beasts."

Jiang Yun's voice was calm.

"No need to kill them, just suppress them for a moment."

"I want the others to escape."

Fox Immortal was silent for a breath.

"I can."

"However, that Purple Crystal Tier 5 one is a bit troublesome."

"Its Death Qi Domain has a certain restraining effect on my Five Elements power, so the aura suppression will be somewhat weakened."

"But suppressing them for thirty breaths is no problem."

Jiang Yun's heart settled.

Thirty breaths was enough.

"Good."

"When I shout 'action,' you make your move."

"Understood."

Communication complete.

Jiang Yun's gaze swept over every person present.

Finally, it landed on that crystal emitting seven-colored light.

His heart stirred.

That crystal could bloom with light in this darkness, indicating it wasn't affected by the Light-Devouring Body.

If he used it for illumination... He immediately spoke.

His voice was low yet clearly reached everyone's ears.

"Everyone, listen to me."

Lei Qing and the others all looked at him at the same time.

"In the current situation, if we fight head-on, we will surely die."

"Therefore, we must break through."

He pointed at the Seven-colored crystal.

"Everyone take a crystal fragment and use it for illumination."

"It won't be swallowed by the darkness."

"Then, everyone, command your battle beasts and attack fiercely in the direction we came from!"

"While that Purple Crystal Tier 5 hasn't moved yet, carve out a bloody path!"

Lei Qing's eyes lit up.

"Makes sense!"

Without a word, he rushed to the side of the crystal and smashed off a fist-sized fragment.

That fragment emitted a seven-colored glow, bright and soft.

He held it in his hand, feeling his entire being wrapped in warm light.

"It works! This light won't be swallowed!"

Xiao Chen also took a piece.

Liu Qingshuang did the same.

Xiao Jianshan and Fierce Tiger Li also quickly took one.

Zhao Zhao hesitated for a second and also reached out to take one.

Lei Qing kicked him away.

"You fucking get lost!"

Zhao Zhao's face turned ashen, but he didn't dare flare up.

He could only follow behind dejectedly.

Jiang Yun also took a piece.

He tucked it into his robe.

Then he looked at everyone.

"Are you ready?"

Everyone nodded heavily.

"Action!"

Boom!!!

Lei Qing was the first to attack!

Thunder Beast's body erupted with thunder light, and a pillar of purple-green lightning struck directly at the Vicious Beasts blocking the way!

Liu Qingshuang acted at the same time!

Profound Frost Heavenly Luan's wings shook, and ice-blue flowing light turned into countless ice spikes, shooting toward the beast swarm like a torrential downpour!

Xiao Chen's Heavenly Sword Beast's Sword Qi soared into the sky, and a startling sword glow swept out!

Xiao Jianshan's Lava Giant Puppet roared and charged forward!

Fierce Tiger Li's Iron Spine Azure Wolf also pounced forward desperately!

A strange scene occurred.

Those Vicious Beasts seemed to be suppressed by an invisible force.

Their movements were half a beat slower.

Their attacks lost their accuracy.

They were even... actively making way!

Lei Qing and the others thought it was the light of the crystals taking effect.

They thought their attacks were working.

So they charged forward even more desperately.

In reality.

it was Fox Immortal acting in the shadows.

That pale white figure had already stood in the shadows of the cave hall at some point.

She raised her right hand.

Her five fingers gently clenched.

The Five Elements power silently enveloped all the Vicious Beasts.

Those Vicious Beasts were like they were bound by invisible shackles.

Their movements were sluggish.

Their combat power was greatly reduced.

They could only watch helplessly as this group of humans rushed past them.

Jiang Yun rode Little Skylark, hovering at the very back.

He watched as everyone rushed toward the cave entrance with unstoppable force.

He silently calculated the time.

It was about time.

He suddenly shouted.

"You guys go first!"

"I'll cover the rear!"

Lei Qing suddenly turned his head.

He saw Jiang Yun hovering alone in mid-air, facing those dozens of Vicious Beasts.

His heart suddenly tightened.

"Sacred Student! Let's go together!"

Liu Qingshuang also looked back.

In those cold eyes, obvious fluctuations appeared for the first time.

There was shock.

There was worry.

There was... a trace of complexity that had never been there before.

Her lips parted.

She wanted to say "leave quickly,"

but she couldn't make a sound.

Xiao Chen also looked back.

He gave Jiang Yun a deep look.

Then.

He made a decision.

"Lei Qing, you take them and go first!"

"I'll stay to help the Sacred Student!"

His Heavenly Sword Beast turned back.

Xiao Jianshan was stunned.

He looked at the sixteen-year-old youth.

Looked at that figure standing alone in front of the beast swarm.

His eyes instantly turned red.

"Young Master Jiang..."

Fierce Tiger Li even shouted out directly.

"Sacred Student! You can't stay behind!"

Jiang Yun, however, smiled.

That smile was exceptionally brilliant under the reflection of the seven-colored light.

"Don't talk nonsense!"

"Go quickly!"

"I have a way to escape!"

His voice was firm and decisive.

Lei Qing grit his teeth.

He smashed his fist hard against the wall.

"Go!"

He roared.

"Don't let the Sacred Student's sacrifice be in vain!"

He turned and charged forward frantically.

Liu Qingshuang gave Jiang Yun a deep look.

In those eyes, a crystalline light flashed by.

Then.

She turned.

And followed Lei Qing in charging forward.

Xiao Chen hesitated for a second.

Jiang Yun roared at him.

"Xiao Chen! Take them out!"

"This is an order as the captain!"

Xiao Chen stared fixedly at him.

Then.

He nodded heavily.

"Sacred Student... take care!"

He turned, leading the Heavenly Sword Beast, and charged forward.

Xiao Jianshan and Fierce Tiger Li were also dragged away by Lei Qing.

Everyone rushed desperately toward the cave entrance.

Jiang Yun watched their receding figures.

Watched them run further and further away.

Watched them about to rush out of the cave entrance.

A successful smile curled at the corner of his mouth.

However.

When his gaze fell on Zhao Zhao, who was fleeing desperately among the crowd,

a trace of killing intent flashed in his eyes.

Want to run?

This person wanted to kill him.

And just now, he even pushed Fierce Tiger Li out to die.

Such a person didn't deserve to get out alive.

"Fox Immortal."

He communicated through the contract transmission.

"Throw Zhao Zhao back."

The next moment.

An invisible force, like a giant hand, suddenly grabbed Zhao Zhao!

Zhao Zhao was rushing forward desperately.

Seeing that he was about to rush out of the cave entrance.

Suddenly.

His entire body soared into the air!

"What?!"

He cried out in terror.

He struggled desperately.

But he couldn't break free from that force.

Then.

He was thrown back fiercely by that force!

Like a broken sack, he smashed heavily into the center of the Vicious Beast swarm!

"No!!!"

Zhao Zhao let out a desperate scream.

Around him were nothing but Vicious Beasts.

Those Vicious Beasts were staring at him with cold gazes.

Staring at this prey that had suddenly been delivered to their doorstep.

Meanwhile, Lei Qing and the others had already rushed out of the cave entrance.

They heard Zhao Zhao's scream.

Looking back,

they only saw Zhao Zhao's figure being submerged by the beast swarm.

Then.

The light at the cave entrance was swallowed by darkness.

Nothing could be seen anymore.

They stood outside the cave.

Panting heavily.

Drenched in cold sweat.

Then.

They all looked toward the cave entrance in unison.

Gazing at that darkness that swallowed everything.

Jiang Yun... hadn't come out yet.

Lei Qing clenched his fists.

His nails dug into his palms, and blood flowed out.

He stared fixedly at the cave entrance.

Without saying a word.

Liu Qingshuang stood there.

On her cold face, there was now... grief.

Xiao Chen closed his eyes.

And took a deep breath.

Xiao Jianshan and Fierce Tiger Li directly knelt on the ground.

"Young Master Jiang..."

"Sacred Student..."

Their voices were trembling.

Outside the cave.

The night was deep.

The cave entrance remained deep and dark.

Not a single ray of light.

Not a single sound.

Only the sound of the wind blowing across the Gobi, a whimpering sound.

Like crying.
