Chapter 501: Chapter 261: Has the Stupid Mugua Died?_2

The two women’s faces changed, and they quickly got up.

Thud!

A dark shadow crashed to the ground.

At first glance, it looked like a giant ball of flesh.

This monster was covered with limbs, densely packed, with at least a hundred, resembling a forcibly assembled living net, radiating a crimson sheen all over its body.

Its head was hidden among the limbs, with sparse hair on the crown, and its face was quite terrifying.

"Eat... eat..."

The flesh-ball monster emitted a spine-chilling, hoarse voice.

"Wasn’t this thing buried underneath? How did it come out again?"

Li Nanshuang’s pretty face turned pale.

Earlier, they had been pursued by this monster and nearly lost their lives.

"Let’s go!"

Ran Qingchen clenched her teeth lightly, enduring the pain and dashed toward the exit.

Li Nanshuang, as if awakening from a dream, instantly followed her.

The flesh-ball monster, with limbs flailing and appearing boneless, rolled and tumbled on the ground, its pursuit terrifying, with stones flying around, and the noise was thunderous.

Although the stone door ahead was tightly closed, there was a crack about thirty centimeters wide.

One after the other, the women fled through the crack.

Bang!

The monster collided with the door.

Ran Qingchen stumbled a bit when she landed, due to her injuries, her steps faltering and her brows deeply furrowed.

"Are you okay?"

Li Nanshuang rushed to her side and asked.

Ran Qingchen shook her head, not bothering to look behind: "Hurry up and go!"

But before the two women could continue running, three figures suddenly blocked their path, the same team that had been sent earlier to intercept them.

"Finally found you guys, you were hard to track down."

One of the men, his skin dark, stared grimly at Ran Qingchen and the other woman, his voice chilling, "You two better surrender quietly, otherwise I don’t mind leaving your bodies here!"

Li Nanshuang cursed, "You idiots, the monster is right behind us, why are you not running instead of blocking us here!"

"Monster?"

The man paused, then scoffed, "Little girl, you think you can deceive us with such low tricks? You think we—"

Boom!

The stone door shattered into pieces.

The massive flesh-ball monster burst through the stone door.

Ran Qingchen and Li Nanshuang dodged in time, moving to the side the moment the monster burst out.

One of the men trying to stop them hadn’t even realized what happened when a dark shadow flew out of the dust and crashed onto him.

Splat—

Numerous limbs from the monster pierced the man’s body, his head was violently ripped off.

"Eat... eat..."

The monster stuffed chunks of flesh into its mouth, making chewing noises.

The middle-aged man and the remaining subordinate were completely stunned by the scene.

The monster quickly devoured its food and then charged at the person closest to it.

The subordinate frantically swung his long sword.

The sword easily pierced the monster’s body, yet the monster felt no pain at all; countless limbs grabbed the man, tearing him into pieces.

What kind of monster was this?

The middle-aged man’s legs trembled, terrified, he kept stepping back.

Accidentally, his back hit a damaged stone statue, the sharp protrusion causing intense pain.

It was then that he truly snapped to his senses and turned to see that Ran Qingchen and Li Nanshuang had silently slipped into the darkness on the right.

Not far there, rugged rocks and an abundance of bones created a natural barrier, a gloomy, shadowy area ideal for hiding.

In his panic, the middle-aged man hurriedly fled after the two women.

And this chase inadvertently led the monster right to them.

Seeing this, Li Nanshuang cursed, "You bastard, you could’ve run anywhere, why follow us?"

However, just after the girl finished cursing, as the middle-aged man was about to catch up with them, two ghastly pale arms unexpectedly pierced through his chest.

The middle-aged man’s face showed utter despair as he slowly reached out towards the two women.

Then, his body was torn in half.

The blood that sprayed out got on some of the two women.

"What a darn monster!"

Li Nanshuang’s scalp tingled, and she pushed over two nearby stone pillars, trying to slow the monster’s pursuit.

The women turned around a peculiar rock, and Ran Qingchen leaned against the rock, gasping for breath.

Up ahead was a deep pit.

Bottomless.

Ran Qingchen lifted her hand that was pressed against her abdomen, seeing it covered in fresh blood, the bleeding she had managed to stop earlier had worsened a lot, the wrapped cloth also soaked with blood.

"We can’t hide like this for long, we need to split up and run."

Qingchen said.

Li Nanshuang anxiously replied, "You will definitely be caught if you keep this up."

Qingchen pressed against his wound again, biting on his silver teeth, listening to the approaching monster, he said, "That’s why I need you to lead it away. Run as fast as you can and make noise so the monster will chase after you."

This suggestion was quite unfair to Li Nanshuang.

Even if Li Nanshuang hadn’t been injured, given the monster’s speed, she had no advantage; she was essentially serving as bait.

But Li Nanshuang didn’t hesitate at all and said, "Okay, then you be careful."

"Mhm."

Qingchen nodded lightly.

Seizing the moment, Li Nanshuang darted out from the right side and after about ten meters, she shouted loudly, "Disgusting smelly monster, come chase me if you dare!"

However, there was no response from behind her.

Feeling puzzled, Li Nanshuang turned her head, only to be shocked to see Qingchen standing in front of the monster.

The monster crawled towards her.

What was this fool Mugua doing?

Li Nanshuang’s eyes widened.

"Run!"

Qingchen glanced at her and slowly retreated, her heels hanging over the edge of a deep pit behind her.

As the monster lunged, she suddenly sprang up, the long sword in her hand tracing a dazzling silver arc in mid-air.

The fierce blade gleamed, piercing the monster and spurting green blood.

Although the monster was unhindered by the injury, its body paused momentarily, precariously overhanging the pit.

Qingchen’s figure soared again, gathering force as if summoning thunder, and powerfully stomped down in the blink of an eye.

Bang!

The monster was kicked into the deep pit.

Qingchen, who was also falling, hastily stabbed her long sword into the wall of the pit, hanging onto the edge of the cavern.

The woman spat out a mouthful of fresh blood.

She clung desperately to the hilt of the sword to prevent herself from falling.

"Fool Mugua!"

Li Nanshuang hurried over.

By now, the girl had realized that Qingchen had deliberately distracted her, planning to give her a chance to escape.

But before she could get to the pit, the monster she had kicked down suddenly popped its head up, climbing up the pit wall.

"Whoosh!"

The monster opened its mouth, and a long, sticky tongue wound around Qingchen’s ankles like a snake.

Qingchen struggled in vain, seeing the monster almost upon her, she suddenly spotted what seemed to be a mechanical switch nearby, and quickly looked around.

Li Nanshuang arrived at the edge of the pit.

Seeing Qingchen in danger, she was about to jump down.

"Don’t jump!"

Qingchen yelled.

Li Nanshuang instinctively stopped.

But soon, Li Nanshuang regretted her hesitance as she saw Qingchen pull out her longsword and strike the protruding switch on the pit wall.

Crack!

Incredibly quickly, it was as if a stone cover appeared out of nowhere on the surface of the pit, sealing it completely.

The resulting shock caused Li Nanshuang to stumble back two steps.

"Fool Mugua!"

Regaining her senses, Li Nanshuang swung her tomb blade fiercely at the stone cover, but it remained unscathed, and instead, she was flung out, crashing into a stone pillar.

This time Li Nanshuang was really panicked. Ignoring her back pain, she ran to the pit’s cover, shouting loudly:

"Fool Mugua! Qingchen!"

She continuously swung her blade, but was unable to break the stone cover, only a series of sparks flew, leaving no damage at all.

Li Nanshuang then searched nearby for a mechanism but found nothing.

The girl felt utterly cold, her mind buzzing, unable to believe that the companion who was joking with her one moment could be gone the next, so suddenly.

Of course, it was uncertain whether Qingchen was dead, but given the circumstances, the outlook was grim.

At that moment, a voice came from afar.

It was the group that had been pursuing them.

The leader, an elder in purple cloth, seeing his subordinates dead, was utterly shocked. He followed the blood trail and upon seeing the dazed Li Nanshuang, he roared, "Did you kill these people?"

Li Nanshuang, still trying to figure out how to open the stone cover, completely ignored the elder’s furious questioning.

"You’re asking for it!"

The elder in purple could not contain his anger and struck out at Li Nanshuang with a palm.

Just at that moment, Jiang Shouzhong, who had been following, appeared and decapitated the last man in line. Taking advantage of the confusion, he stood in front of Li Nanshuang.

With the Seven Kill Dagger drawn, the unguarded elder in purple was sent flying, spitting out a mouthful of blood.

"Who are you!?"

The elder, supported by his men, glared at Jiang Shouzhong, both shocked and furious.

When Li Nanshuang saw Jiang Shouzhong, she paused for a moment and then cried out, "Shouzhong, fool Mugua is dead!"
