Chapter 522: Chapter 12 Child of God

The reason they were not seen in the periphery is likely because the Spiritual Energy is denser in the middle, where they congregate, also for cultivation purposes.

And those who rashly trespassed in search of the Fruit of Immortality have undoubtedly disrupted the order of this place.

Thus, they are enraged, seeking to eliminate the trespassers completely.

Gu Xiaoxi also realized that the beasts here were simply unending, with one batch dying only for another to immediately take its place.

Soon, she found herself surrounded by a vast army of beasts.

She stood in the middle, looking at the neatly arrayed packs of wolves, prides of lions, and groups of tigers.

They slowly closed in on her, tightening the circle.

The tigers bared their fangs and growled softly.

The lions’ eyes shimmered with a kaleidoscope of colors, terrifying and unpredictable, like sinister stars.

The green eyes of the wolves, in the darkness, resembled specters.

"We mean no harm. Just let us go, and I promise not to hurt any of you," Gu Xiaoxi attempted to communicate with them. After all, in such a place, if the beasts practiced cultivation, their Spiritual Wisdom was bound to be much stronger than those outside.

As expected, upon Gu Xiaoxi’s words,

a lion, four meters in body length and almost one meter tall, roared angrily, "You wish to take the Fruit of Immortality, invade our territory, and still hope to leave alive? Humans, it is you who have disturbed our cultivation."

"Disturbed your cultivation?" Gu Xiaoxi was now almost certain that these beasts were no simple creatures.

They could actually speak.

No, she could understand what they were saying.

"We live here, isolated from the world, and everyone lives happily. Just last night, someone suddenly broke in and commenced a ruthless slaughter. Countless of our companions have been killed or injured. Let you go? What a joke," another Wolf King spoke up as well.

Gu Xiaoxi was still shocked at why she suddenly could understand their language.

"You cannot kill me, and if the battle continues, it will only result in mutual destruction," Gu Xiaoxi clenched the dagger in her hand, and suddenly, she soared into the air, floating like an immortal.

Since it was nighttime, countless strands of Spiritual Energy entwined around her.

She was naturally beautiful, with her long hair fluttering about, and white specks of light swirling around her.

She looked like an immortal about to ride the wind away the next second, dazzling and splendid.

The ferocious beast horde, upon seeing her, immediately took a step back in fear.

"Who are you?" a voice filled with alarm emerged from the midst of the beasts.

Gu Xiaoxi exhibited seven daggers revolving around her, looking down indifferently at the horde, "Who I am is not important. All I can tell you is that if you do not let me go, it will not be so easy to keep me here. Mutual destruction is not a desirable outcome."

Gu Xiaoxi wasn’t flying high, just above the heads of the beasts.

And the beasts halted for a moment, as if in contemplation.

Gu Xiaoxi, concerned for the safety of Jing Haoran and Su San, had no time to delay with the beasts. Thus, she said coldly, "I am now going to find my companions. I’ll give you time to think."

With that, she swiftly flew off in the direction Su San had gone.

As she pursued, she unleashed her Spiritual Sense to sense Su San’s location.

Soon, she heard the sounds of a struggle not far away.

She immediately rushed forward to see Su San and Jing Haoran surrounded by a dozen wolves.

The two of them were engaged in a desperate fight with the wolf pack.

Su San had also sustained several wounds on his back, and at that moment, both were at a disadvantage.

Su San had not expected the wolves here to react so quickly; with every attack, no matter how he tried to dodge, he would get scratched.

And Jing Haoran was shocked at the strength of these beasts, several times stronger than ordinary wolves.

Three minutes passed, and they were just barely dodging in a sorry state.

Meanwhile, the wolves, as if playing with toys, toyed with them.

Angered, Jing Haoran gripped his knife tightly and slashed at one of the wolves.

The next second, the wolf suddenly leaped, leaving behind an afterimage.

His knife only hit the wolf’s afterimage, and immediately the wolf counterattacked with speed so fast he couldn’t dodge.

As the wolf pounced, opening its jaw wide to bare its fangs at his face,

a splattering sound was heard.

The next moment, Jing Haoran’s face was splattered with warm blood.

He lay on the ground, thinking he was about to die, his heart sinking into despair.

The next second, Gu Xiaoxi pulled him up from the ground.

"Are you out of your mind? It tries to bite you, and you don’t even dodge. What’s the use of the dagger in your hand?" Gu Xiaoxi released him and turned to help Su San.

The moment she appeared, her daggers immediately slew two wolves.

Immediately, the remaining wolves dared not move.

"Scram now!" Gu Xiaoxi widened her eyes, concentrating Spiritual Energy within them. Her deep and beautiful eyes gleamed with a white light, filled with a murderous aura.

At that moment, the pack of wolves turned tail and ran.

Su San, covering his wounds all over, leaned against a tree root.

The night was thick, and as Su San looked at Gu Xiaoxi’s silhouette, shock filled his heart, "Damn girl, it seems the gap between you and me is getting wider and wider."

He and Jing Haoran had almost lost their lives to this pack of wolves.

Yet with just a glance, she had deterred the pack and scared them away.

"We need to move quickly, the beast horde behind us will catch up soon. This place is not safe." Gu Xiaoxi had no time to chit-chat with Su San.

He and Jing Haoran were injured, and it was crucial to find a safe place to treat their wounds.

With that said, Gu Xiaoxi helped the two of them up and then continued towards the center of the island.

However, they hadn’t walked far before they were once again surrounded by a horde of beasts.

Obviously, the beasts they were encountering now were not the same group as before.

Without hesitation, facing the pack of wolves, Gu Xiaoxi was the first to speak, "We don’t wish to be your enemy, just let us pass. We can all live in peace."

"Evil humans, how can we possibly trust you? Having come this far, surely you are here for the Fruit of Immortality. Let me tell you, our ancestors have guarded this place for a hundred thousand years, and this tree will only bear fruit when its master arrives. Before that, we will fight to the death to protect this place and let no human step foot here," one of the wolves said fiercely.

Gu Xiaoxi glanced at the injured Su San and Jing Haoran.

She could escape no problem, but for the two of them, it would be very difficult!

So, she clenched her fists, forced to suppress her emotions, and immediately became polite, "We can stop advancing and even persuade others to leave this place. Just let us go."

"Leave? Hmph!" The voice of the wolf rose again, "Have you ever seen anyone enter here and come out alive?"

Jing Haoran and Su San immediately felt a shiver run through their bodies, especially when they thought of the corpses scattered all around.

In the dark night, this place was as terrifying as Hell itself.

Instinctively, Su San turned to Gu Xiaoxi, "Go by yourself! With us, no one can get out."

Gu Xiaoxi turned back and glared at them, "Stop the nonsense! A bunch of ignorant beasts are not to be feared. If the deal doesn’t work, then we fight! Let’s see if your claws are more formidable, or if my dagger is sharper."

As she spoke, Gu Xiaoxi once again leaped into the air, her body surrounded by white Spiritual Energy.

She formed hand seals with both hands, and the daggers arrayed before her formed into an array of death.

A chilling sensation immediately spread through the woods.

"Roar!"

Just then, a proud roar sounded in the jungle.

The roar made Gu Xiaoxi’s blood surge, almost causing her to tumble to the ground.

Following the roar, an even more potent force bore down on her from afar.

She fought the turmoil in her sea of energy to barely maintain her balance, then sprang onto a tree branch and steadied herself.

The next moment, a three-meter tall tiger, ten meters long, descended from the sky, kicking up sand and shattering branches, instantly creating chaos around.

The small creatures that had been facing off against Gu Xiaoxi immediately backed away, assuming a posture of worship.

Luckily, Jing Haoran and Su San, following Gu Xiaoxi’s subtle hint, had already slowly moved to shelter under a large tree.

But now, the situation was becoming increasingly perilous.

At this moment, escaping was even more difficult than before.

"Who is it who dares to negotiate with us?"

Gu Xiaoxi felt her scalp tingle and her heart throb with fear at just the voice.

But retreating now would result only in death.

"I am the Child of God!" Gu Xiaoxi didn’t hesitate to cut her finger, and immediately a cluster of golden flames ignited from her fingertip.

Suddenly the golden light illuminated the woods, revealing her radiant full figure to the group of beasts.

Undoubtedly, the words "Child of God" made the gigantic tiger pause for a moment.

It raised its proud head, sizing up Gu Xiaoxi.

Moments later, another huge lion charged in.

"Child of God... the Master?" The lion immediately trembled with excitement, shouting.

For the Tree of Immortality was sown by the Child of God, their guarded Master!

However, looking at Gu Xiaoxi, they were filled with doubt...

Was she their Master?
