Chapter 217 : Opponent
Chu Sang reached out and grabbed the sharp object deeply embedded in the Kun Peng's wing, intending to help it escape its suffering. However, the Kun Peng suddenly went berserk, violently flipping, crashing, flying, and leaping.
Chu Sang, clinging to its body, was tossed about. She stumbled and rolled several times, nearly sliding off. Below was an abyss. "Don't act up, big brother! I'm trying to help you. Are you trying to kill me?"
Big brother didn't listen. Big brother continued to crash about, determined to knock off this reckless little flea.
She gritted her teeth, attempting to negotiate, "This object's material is very special. If it's not removed quickly, it will gradually fuse with your body over time. When that happens, this wing will be completely ruined! It would need to be entirely amputated, and might even block all the meridians in your body..."
"Boom!"
"Boom—"
It's hopeless. It can't understand human speech.
A being with such a divine bloodline, even equivalent to a half-blood divine beast, should have extremely high intelligence and couldn't possibly not understand her words. But now it was raging to this extent. It seemed there really was no way to communicate... She had to remove that thing from its wing as quickly as possible...
Taking advantage of its next vertical flight, Chu Sang quickly stuck several talismans on herself to maintain balance, then arduously reached for that sharp object again. She exerted force—
It came out!
Only half remained!
The Kun Peng's collisions became even more frenzied. It even emitted a sound that could directly attack one's sea of consciousness. Chu Sang could withstand being tossed about, but she couldn't withstand this sudden mental attack. Her mind suddenly went blank. The Kun Peng abruptly plunged downward, and both beast and human instantly fell into the bottomless abyss!
When Chu Sang regained her senses, she was still falling. If she had reacted even a second slower, she would have been smashed to a pulp.
She quickly separated from the Kun Peng, stepped onto her sword, and landed. She rubbed her temples.
That divine sense attack left her head still aching. She was certain that if her divine sense hadn't been strong enough, for an ordinary Nascent Soul stage disciple, that mental attack could have directly caused bleeding from all seven orifices.
Looking up at the exit, she could directly fly up on her sword, but even after flying up, she couldn't dispel the barrier. Only the Kun Peng itself could do that.
Now that the Kun Peng had run to the bottom of the abyss, finding it again wouldn't be easy.
Chu Sang decided not to go up for now, instead seeking a breakthrough method from that Kun Peng.
She had just separated from the Kun Peng, so it should be nearby. As she walked, she observed her surroundings, her eyes showing surprise.
She had thought the abyss would hide many vicious beast demons, and that falling down here would mean certain death. But as she walked, she found this place eerily empty and silent. She walked for a long time without seeing a single beast demon, instead seeing quite a few... beast demon skeletons?
It seems they were all eaten by this Kun Peng.
But for such a powerful beast demon as the Kun Peng, why would it only hide in this broken valley abyss?
Could it be... it couldn't get out?
Chu Sang's brilliant mind worked quickly, soon reasonably deducing a hypothesis.
This kind of half-blood divine beast would either become the ruler of this region or become a powerful opponent to the ruler of this region.
Clearly, the beast king of Wind Valley was another beast demon. So this Kun Peng could only be in the second situation, becoming an opponent particularly feared by that beast king.
The wound on the Kun Peng's wing was very likely caused by that beast king. And it was probably because of this that the Kun Peng couldn't leave this place, so it wouldn't pose a threat to the beast king.
