Even Lin Qiao herself found what she encountered hard to deal with. So, seeing the others looking a little exhausted but all perfectly unharmed, she sighed with relief.

Have you sent the messengers up yet? Lei Cheng asked

Yes, Lin Qiao nodded and said, Have you guys found anything?

Some Huaxia People tried to cause us trouble at first, but we avoided them. Some of our friends found that all underground creatures down here are at high levels. Also, the creatures down here seem to upgrade multiple times faster than the ones on the earths surface. Creatures at levels seven and eight can be found everywhere down here, Kong Qingming rested his hands in his pockets as he reviewed his experiences.

Yes, Lei Cheng nodded in agreement, All the plants and animals down here are powerful and dangerous.

Lin Qiao didnt tell them that Xie Longyun had left some of her people there. She had dealt with that already, so it did not need to be mentioned.

I have some discoveries. There is a level-nine creature here, and I think its probably the one ruling this place. That creature was what suddenly cast out all the low-leveled creatures. I dont know the reason yet. Through observation, I found that creature has a great appetite. I guess it ate a lot for every meal. The creatures staying here shouldnt be enough to feed it for a long time, she said to the others.

After finishing all the level eight and seven ones, the creature would probably catch the lower-leveled ones to fill its stomach. However, it had cast all of them out

As Lin Qiao and the others were sharing their discoveries, down in that barren area, the level-nine creature which was hiding in that pit once again opened its enormous pair of eyes. Then, the earth started shaking as something rose from the rugged bottom of the pit. A gigantic creature slowly crawled out, its eyes sparkling dimly like a mirror.

It slowly raised its head. As its entire head popped out of the earth, its body came out as well. It propped up its upper body with its huge pair of forepaws and then its lower body with its rear legs. As it stood up, a strange-looking, animal-shaped dent was left in the ground.

The creature stood up and shook its body before turning its enormous head from side to side, looking around with its two-meter-wide eyes. It was tens of meters tall, standing on all fours. From head to tail, it was about three-hundred meters long.

Since it stood up, the energy layer above its head started rolling. Next, a huge energy swirl descended from the air and slowly landed on its head.

As the noises caused by the creature were heard, all the creatures nearby started fleeing in all directions, hiding back into their own nests, even including the level-eight ones. The giant creature quietly stood on the bottom of the pit. As the energy swirl descended, it raised its head and opened its mouth to accept the energy.

Lin Qiao abruptly stopped talking and turned to where the level-nine creature was located. Then, she narrowed her eyes and raised her head to look at the energy layer in the air. The thick mist above her head was now slowly moving toward the level-nine creature. By narrowing her eyes, she saw the energy flowing in that direction as well.

As Lin Qiao suddenly stopped talking and raised her head to look at the air, the others raised their head as well.

Whats going on?

Is the mist gathering toward that area?

Lin Qiao opened her eyes and said, It woke up! You guys stay here. Ill go and take a look!

It was a great chance to observe the creature. She had been waiting for it to wake up all this long. Unexpectedly, it woke up right after she left.

Lin Qiao quickly finished talking and then disappeared from where she was, leaving the others glancing at each other. They obviously didnt have the courage to follow her, because she said that the level-nine creature was awake.

Lin Qiao turned herself invisible and flew swiftly toward that area.

She moved way faster than the mist in the air. She had to fly across the river using her superpower, but this time, no energy swirl descended from the air when she flew across the river, probably because the energy had been gathering toward the level-nine creature.

After crossing the river, she quickly turned herself invisible again and then kept heading forward. She wasnt sure if the creature could detect her through such a long distance. She wished that she wouldnt be spotted.

Near the barren area, she slowed down and ran into the area.

After entering the area, she felt a great pressure. Her instinct had been warning her not to get any closer to the creature.

But, how could she get what she wanted without taking the risk? How could she find out what the creature wanted without observing it closely?

She watched the mist above her head quickly gather toward the pit. At hundreds of meters from the pit, she found herself unable to get any closer!

The level-nine monster gave out an immense vibe that was even stronger than the vibe of Dong Xiaowei the level-nine superpower possessor. Even the energy mist in the air generated a great pressure.

Lin Qiao wasnt afraid, but she couldnt control her body. She wasnt able to control her limbs anymore, as if her instincts were trying to rip her body and mind apart.

She stood there motionlessly, looking at the level-nine creatures nest. The situation immediately gave her a bad feeling.

She almost forgot that she nearly lost her mind earlier and that her zombie nature had almost taken control of her body.

The energy mist above the pit grew thicker and thicker, getting closer and closer to the ground. Right at that moment, the pit suddenly started shaking.

Roar Following a resonant roar, the energy mist above the pit exploded and fierce air streams blew in all directions. The thunderous roar made Lin Qiao tremble. Her brain was suddenly relaxed and her mind grew blurred.

She generated a thought before losing her mind to send herself into her space.

Thud! She fell from the sky in the space, because she wasnt able to control her body. Her mind was not clear at that moment.
