As the group madly charged forward, the Scarlet Ghosts continued to chase and scream after them as their numbers grew. They would also attack Nie Li’s group occasionally. However, in front of Nie Li’s sickle-like claws, the Scarlet Ghosts that tried to attack them were instantly killed.
“Nie Li, what’s going on? These Scarlet Ghost seem to be endless.” Du Ze said, anxiously.
Nie Li’s brows were tightly knitted together. If they were to continue on, they would fall into an endless group fight. Although their strength is superior to these Scarlet Ghosts, they wouldn’t be able to fend off all of them.
“Nie Li, look! There’s a light.” Lu Piao said, pleasantly surprised.
In the distant plains, there’s a lamp that was swaying about from the wind. Although it’s drizzling and a little misty, the light was not extinguished.
“There’s someone living here?” Xiao Ning’er confusingly frowned her brows.
Nie Li also felt a little confused. Could it be that there’s really someone living here? If not, then what’s with the light?
Suddenly, he was struck by an idea. Nie Li suddenly understood what’s going on and shockingly said, “It’s the Netherlamp Behemoth!”
“What’s a Netherlamp Behemoth?”
“Netherlamp Behemoths are extremely frightening creatures. It’s forehead would hang a lamp that it uses lure its prey. When you get close to it, it’ll suddenly open its mouth and completely swallow the prey.” Nie Li said, “It’s sharp teeth can easily crush a rock. This is a demon beast of at least Gold rank.”
Hearing Nie Li’s explanation, Du Ze, Lu Piao and bunch’s hearts trembled. They never thought that that light would be such a frightening creature. If they carelessly approached it, the consequences would be disastrous. What kind of shitty place is this? There was a crisis with every step!
Nie Li’s continued to frantically run. The amount of Scarlet Ghosts chasing them has already amounted to thousands and the number was growing as time goes by.
If this continues, it’ll be dangerous. Once they can no longer run and enter into a battle, they’ll be doomed.
Nie Li solemnly said, “I have an idea, we’ll run towards the Netherlamp Behemoth.”
“Didn’t you just say that it’s a terrifying demon beast?”
“Although it’s a terrifying demon beast, the Netherlamp Behemoth’s movements are very slow. You would only be in danger if you approach it. In this world, one subdues another. There are so many Scarlet Ghosts, yet the Netherlamp Behemoth is living just fine. The Netherlamp Behemoth is most likely the nemesis of the Scarlet Ghost.”
Du Ze nodded his head in agreement, “Okay, since we have no other choice anyways. If we were to continue running like this, we’ll definitely be chased to death by those Scarlet Ghosts.”
The group frantically ran towards the direction of the Netherlamp Benemoth.
The distance to the lamp was getting closer and closer, they were only about a hundred meters away from it. They could only see the lamp floating in the void, nothing else.
“Be careful, the Netherlamp Benemoth is hiding in the darkness. Hold your breath.”
Everyone hurriedly held their breath and slowed down their pace.
Guji! Guji!
The Scarlet Ghosts let out a weird scream as they headed towards Nie Li’s group.
Suddenly, several scarlet red tongues appeared from within the darkness, and coiled around the Scarlet Ghosts. The Scarlet Ghosts screamed miserably and were pulled by those long tongues, disappearing into the darkness.
Guji! Guji!
The Scarlet Ghosts that were left behind were all horrified by the scene and ran in all directions. Shrieks filled the skies as they scattered.
