Zhu Yao subconsciously touched her chest, only to realize that the scroll had long disappeared without a trace.
Could it be…
“We seemed to have entered the world of that picture scroll.” Chen Ning had once said that it was a scroll which came from the Ancient Era, and the demonic beasts drawn there had all went extinct very far in the past. In the beginning, she had even thought that the scroll was similar to a regular encyclopaedia about animals, just that it was an ancient version. However, evidently, that scroll had only shone after her blood stained it. They were then transferred into it.
In that case, that basically wasn’t an encyclopaedia, but most likely, a sealed scroll. And those demonic beasts were exactly the ones which had been sealed into this world.
Zhu Yao then gave Sesame a rough explanation about the scroll.
“Seems like the seal of this scroll is extremely strong.” Earlier, that formation of hers was capable of cutting through the void in space, yet, they were currently still in this world. It seemed like shattering the void in space was not a viable method to return to their former world either.
Sesame frowned as well. “Then how are we going to leave this place?”
Zhu Yao lowered her head and pondered. Suddenly, she recalled the black inked smudge that was close to the end of the scroll. “Let’s head to the deepest part of this world. We might have another strand of hope to survive.”
“I will start moving right now.” This place was simply too dangerous. Any one of the demonic beasts here was able to swallow them up whole.
Sesame nodded, and returned to his former shape. After hiding his own presence, he signalled Zhu Yao and Yue Ying to climb up.
At the moment he was about to fly, suddenly, a shrilling roar which could make one’s hair to stand sounded.
The hell, it’s coming again!
Chasing behind them was a huge bird which was enveloped entirely in black flames. It’s figure was extremely big. Sesame’s true form could already be considered to be humongous, yet, this bird was actually more than ten times his size. With a glance, it looked as though it was about to cover half of the entire sky.
And the noise that bird made was very unique. Every single voice it let out felt as though countless of sharp knives were piercing straight towards her. Even Zhu Yao herself was barely able to hold on, and she could only seal Yue Ying’s five senses, preventing him from receiving any injuries from its quaking roars.
The bird wasn’t exactly flying very quickly, but because its figure was too huge, with a flap of its wings, it could bring about a huge turbulence in the air. Although they were running at the front, they would still be affected by the airflow, causing their speed to decrease.
“Sesame, use your spiritual energy to envelop your surroundings, it will prevent you from being affected by the airflow.”
When Sesame heard this, he immediately acted accordingly. As expected, after isolating the airflow in the surroundings, he was no longer affected by the gigantic bird. His speed was much faster than before, as he moved further and further away from the gigantic bird. The demonic beast seemed to have realized this point as well, as its roar became even more anxious.
Suddenly, it opened that large mouth it had, only to see a flash of lightning inside it. A mass of white-colored lightning began to grow within its mouth.
“It’s lightning…” Sesame became anxious as well. Who would have thought that this bird was actually lightning-attributed? Other than lightning beasts, there are actually lightning-attributed demonic beasts in this world. This was illogical.
Demonic beasts were innately weak against lightning. No matter how tough Sesame’s body was, he would still be unable to block against a lightning attack from this demonic beast which was ranked higher than him. Even his voice had begun to tremble.
That bird had already spat out that ball of lightning, and it was shot right towards them.
“Mistress!”
In this intense situation, Zhu Yao could only immediately take on her dragon form, and hook onto Sesame with her tail. Then, with her fastest speed, she desperately flew up. This was definitely a subconscious action of hers, yet, Zhu Yao did not expect that her dragon form was actually capable of flying this fast.
In a blink of an eye, she had already thrown the huge bird off.
When there’s gains, there would naturally be losses. After restoring to her dragon form, her dragon’s aura could no longer be concealed, as it arrogantly announced her existence.
Hence… All of the demonic beasts felt it.
And thus… The number of demonic beasts chasing after them increased.
Momma’s egg!
“Sesame, protect Yue Ying well.” Zhu Yao gritted her teeth. Right now, she could only desperately flee. Hopefully, before she was caught up, she could fly out of this place in time.
