Chapter 382: Chapter 268: Creating a Grave

...

With the inscription pattern, they retrieved a small Magic Gem from the storage stone. Once it was in Deng Wu’s hands, he began chanting a spell, his focus fully fixed on the stone in his palm. Gradually, the gemstone began to liquify, transforming the previously brilliant red gem into a crimson liquid under Deng Wu’s skillful spellwork. He swiftly collected the liquid in a jade bottle, then elegantly spread it over paper, forming a complex inscription.

At the center of this inscription was the symbol of fire, and after a brief moment, the paper lit up with a red hue. Once the inscription was completed, Deng Wu placed it on his arm, ready to use it when the roaring beast appeared.

Sha Yun glanced at the other two, her eyes carrying a slight hint of disdain as she stood there, waiting for the beast to show itself. Her skills could be used to protect Yan Xiaobao and herself, but her nature was far from defensive. Instead, she prepared to create a grave for the creature the moment it emerged.

Sha Yun, fortunate to be attuned to the earth, found spells unnecessary. With a wave of her hand, a chair made of stone emerged from beneath her feet, and she sat upon it with a satisfied smile, resembling a queen overseeing an amusing drama before her.

Yan Xiaobao had grabbed the black blood at the start, but upon seeing his friends’ behavior, he chuckled softly and once more stored it in his storage stone. A smug expression formed on his face as he decided to let his companions handle whatever beast was charging toward them.

Under the dim light of the Light Stone, a colossal figure emerged, so imposing that even Yan Xiaobao hesitated to gaze directly at the creature before him. It resembled a wolf-like animal, yet it was not a wolf. Easily measuring 5 meters in length and 3 meters in height, it took up the entire tunnel.

Its fur was black, with gray legs and a long, snake-like gray tail. When its gaze fell upon Sha Yun, the sight caused Yan Xiaobao to let out a faint grunt, only to be silenced by Sha Yun’s deadly glare.

It raised its head and looked skyward, its fangs reminiscent of a saber-tooth tiger’s. Its eyes glowed red, their depths shining with inner intensity.

Staring into its eyes, Yan Xiaobao quickly noticed the wisdom hidden behind the creature’s murderous intent. The moment the serpent-like beast spotted the poppy flowers on the ground, it abruptly halted, standing completely upright as its body lowered, poised as if preparing to pounce at any moment.

Seeing this expression on the wolf’s face, the playful attitude previously felt by Yan Xiaobao vanished instantly, replaced by vigilance and alertness. Once again, he brought out the black blood, infusing it with his spiritual energy.

The wolf seemed to understand that the cultivators before it were not ones to be easily defeated, and with a low growl, it turned and began preparing to flee.

"Don’t let it escape!" Sha Yun jumped up from the stone chair she had created for herself, her voice echoing against the damp tunnel walls. The urgency in her tone spurred Yan Xiaobao, Deng Wu, and Wang Julong to prepare for battle.

Wang Julong closed her eyes, once again entering meditation, but this time she murmured continuously, her voice a relentless hum.

For now, the wolf didn’t flee quickly, but the moment it noticed the incoming spores, its speed increased dramatically.

Noticing this, Yan Xiaobao activated Velocity Flow, and with the added burst of speed, he charged directly at the wolf.

Right behind him was Deng Wu, wielding the inscription he had crafted earlier. The inscription wrapped around a Flying Sword, which shot forward at incredible speed.

"Duck!" Deng Wu shouted, and the white-haired boy complied. In the next instant, a deafening boom echoed throughout the tunnel, shaking loose small rocks that rained down from the ceiling as flames engulfed the space within.

Qi’s knife had landed on the wolf, and upon impact, the inscription exploded with a power rivaling Yan Xiaobao’s Fireball. This was Deng Wu’s most relied-upon and practiced ability.

Although it was as powerful as Yan Xiaobao’s Fireball, it came with considerable cost. Every time Deng Wu crafted a new inscription, he had to sacrifice some of his cultivation base and painstakingly rebuild it through arduous effort.

He did possess some inscriptions that didn’t require cultivation base but instead relied on spiritual energy; however, these were far weaker, and their results lacked the force of cultivation-based inscriptions.

In general, Deng Wu disliked using his inscriptions for combat because they indiscriminately consumed life—whether allies, enemies, or innocent bystanders nearby, none were spared.

Nevertheless, this was the choice he had made upon realizing he was an affinity cultivator of metal. Deng Wu understood that Yan Xiaobao preferred targeted attacks and one-on-one duels. While this was highly effective in cultivator duels, Deng Wu knew it had limitations on the battlefield. And since he had long ago decided to stay by Yan Xiaobao’s side, he also resolved to choose methods he deemed most beneficial to his friend.

No matter who stood in the way, Deng Wu would strive not to drag Yan Xiaobao down while enhancing his companion’s power.

These were Deng Wu’s thoughts as he watched flames ignite upon the black wolf in front of them.

Deng Wu wasn’t the only one eager to showcase his skills. As the flames roared and the wolf howled in agony, spears emerged from all directions, piercing straight through the wolf’s protective fur.
