The Lord of Void and Real
Chapter 1280

Chapter 1280: Chapter 1277 Cooperation Chapter 1280: Chapter 1277 Cooperation Time flew swiftly by, and Shen Luo and his party had been sailing on the Weak Water for over half an hour.

“According to our sect's records, we have already covered about half the journey. Just a little bit longer and we will reach the opposite bank!” Yuan Ming said, trying to boost everyone's morale.

Although no one responded, the tension in their hearts eased slightly upon hearing his words.

The Xuan Yin Bamboo Boat continued to advance rapidly, and for a full quarter of an hour, they did not encounter a single ferocious beast.

“It's been so long without running into any ferocious beasts; it seems we're in luck. Let's put in some extra effort; we'll reach our destination soon!” The man surnamed Lin said happily.

“On the contrary, the ferocious beasts in Weak Water each have their own territory, and the stronger the beast, the larger its domain. It seems we have intruded into the territory of a formidable creature,” said Yuan Ming with a solemn expression and serious tone.

The man surnamed Lin was taken aback by his words.

Others also felt a chill in their hearts upon hearing this.

Just as Yuan Ming finished speaking, a whining sound came from the distance, approaching rapidly.

“Here it comes!” Master Yan's gaze sharpened as he suddenly looked toward the source of the sound.

After a few breaths, a diameter of hundred feet of murky fog appeared in everyone's sight, and the whining sound became clear. It was the sound of sobbing that overlapped in layers, as though hundreds of people were crying at the same time, extremely eerie and giving everyone goosebumps.

“Hundred Cry Beast!” Yuan Ming's expression drastically changed, revealing a hint of despair in his eyes.

“Is this beast very fearsome?” inquired Master Yan.

Although he was a strong entity at the Late True Immortal Stage, his strength was almost the same as everyone else's on the Weak Water.

“The Hundred Cry Beast is a dominant force in Weak Water. It not only possesses super strength but can also manipulate the Weak Water to attack. If we still had our mana, it wouldn't be a big problem. Given the current situation, our chances are slim; everyone, fight for your lives!” Yuan Ming looked as grim as could be.

Upon hearing that, the faces of the others turned ashen as well.

Shen Luo also frowned, considering whether to use the Ghost General.

“Friend Shen, the Hundred Cry Beast is no trivial matter. If it destroys the boat, we'll have nowhere to bury ourselves when we die. Now is not the time to hide your capabilities,” the voice of the black-robed person suddenly rang in Shen Luo's ears.

“What do you mean by that?” Shen Luo narrowed his eyes and asked in return.

“I know that your Ghost Pet has an innate talent that allows it to use God's Power even on this Weak Water. I have a treasure specifically designed to counter this beast. What do you say to us joining forces to kill it?” the black-robed person proposed.

Shen Luo was startled by these words. The black-robed person had not yet appeared when the Ghost General had wounded the octopus beast earlier. How did he know that the Ghost General was not affected by the constraints of Weak Water?

“Oh, what treasure do you have? Can it truly kill the beast?” Although surprised, Shen Luo kept his composure and communicated telepathically.

The situation was dire, and Shen Luo was already inclined to let the Ghost General act. If the black-robed person could help him, it would naturally be a good thing.

“Of course. However, after killing the beast, there is one thing on its body that I must have. The rest of the things will be yours,” the black-robed person stated, changing the tone of the conversation.

Hearing these terms, a flicker of intrigue passed through Shen Luo's eyes.

The black fog moved swiftly and, in an instant, engulfed the Xuan Yin Bamboo Boat, shrouding the boat within it. Two chilling gazes emanated from the depths of the fog, looking toward the people on the boat.

Shen Luo and the others felt as if they had been pierced through the chest by swords and spears, the hairs on their backs standing on end. The beast in the fog was entirely different from all the ferocious beasts they had encountered before.

As the distance closed, Shen Luo and his group's Divine Sense also detected the true form of the beast in the fog: a half-human, half-fish monster. Its body was over thirty feet long, its head resembled that of a woman, and shockingly, there were six pitch-black arms growing under its ribs.

Four of those arms were both thick and long, reaching a length of up to fifteen feet, shimmering with a metallic gloss, exhibiting super strength. The last two arms, however, were similar to those of normal humans, pale and delicate, each holding something. One appeared to be a black tree branch, while the other was a black sphere, both looking like treasures.

“Attack together!” Demon Heart shouted, taking the initiative while the Hundred Cry Beast was still observing them.

The black line shot out like a bolt of lightning, piercing into the black fog with unbelievable speed.

Yuan Ming and the others also made their full-powered attacks, launching a rain of poison sand, javelins, flying insects, and seeds towards the Hundred Cry Beast inside the black fog.

The Hundred Cry Beast, taken aback, hastily tried to dodge. However, the black line from Demon Heart was too fast, and one of the beast's arms was still slashed by it, leaving a deep wound that nearly cut the limb in two.

The beast let out an angry roar of shock and fear, waving all six arms at once. The black tree branch in its hand lit up with a surge of black light.

The surrounding Weak Water churned violently, suddenly rising into high waves that mercilessly crashed towards the Xuan Yin Bamboo Boat, threatening to engulf it completely.

Master Yan leaped to the bow of the boat and violently slapped a certain spot, triggering a mechanism with a series of urgent clicking sounds.

The Big Wind Wheels on the sides of the boat began to spin rapidly, emitting howling sounds.

With the power of the Big Wind Wheels, the Xuan Yin Bamboo Boat shot forward with a whoosh, covering a few dozen feet in an instant, narrowly avoiding the giant wave's attack.

However, after such rapid spinning, the Big Wind Wheels sported cracks and were no longer usable.

The Hundred Cry Beast, missing its target, roared angrily. The branch in its hand glowed with black light again, preparing to launch a second wave of attacks.

But just at that moment, the void behind the Hundred Cry Beast shifted, and a vague black shadow appeared out of nowhere, raising a hand in a sweeping motion.

A slender white light shot from its hand, barely discernible as a snow-white fine needle, which streaked past and embedded itself within the spine of the Hundred Cry Beast.

The Hundred Cry Beast let out a cry of terror, its huge body struggling violently in the water, its arms flailing wildly, causing the surrounding Weak Water to surge with waves and whirlpools.

The Xuan Yin Bamboo Boat had already moved far away, and as waves and vortexes roared in, the boat was pushed even further. The events behind them quickly became obscured by the black fog, beyond sight, and their Divine Sense could not probe the situation there due to the distance being too great.

“What just happened? It seemed like a dark figure attacked the Hundred Cry Beast. Is the Hundred Cry Beast dead?” the man surnamed Lin asked in astonishment and confusion.

The others looked at each other, but none of them spoke.

They had naturally all seen that dark shadow as well, and now, with the Xuan Yin Bamboo Boat in the center of the Weak Water, it was highly likely that the shadow was related to someone on board.

The shadow seemed incredibly powerful, killing the Hundred Cry Beast with a wave of its hand. To kill everyone on board would be no difficult task, and the shrewd figures like Demon Heart and Yuan Ming, wary of starting problems they could not handle, dared not say much, let alone investigate the origin of the shadow.

“It looks like the Hundred Cry Beast has been taken care of, which is good news for us. Since there has just been a great battle, we'd better leave quickly to avoid attracting other ferocious beasts,” said Demon Heart with a cough.

The rest had no objections and nodded in agreement.

The Xuan Yin Bamboo Boat continued on its journey. Without the help of the Big Wind Wheels, its speed had decreased significantly, but the rest of their journey was remarkably smooth, with almost no ferocious beasts attacking.
