Chapter 436: 245 Nine-headed Monster (Please subscribe! Please vote monthly!)_2

This was real.

Having received confirmation from the Heavenly Master, Professor Cao was also relieved.

He quickly connected the signal and said, "Brother Zhou? It’s me. How is everything on your side? Our rescue team will be there soon."

Below the abyss of the Ancient Tomb, on the other end of the walkie-talkie, Professor Zhou and others heard Professor Cao’s voice.

Many of them showed expressions of wild joy.

Great!

The rescue was coming!

Li He grabbed the walkie-talkie and said, "Professor Cao, things are not good here. The exploration team encountered the Nine-headed Monster and many people died. Professor Zhou also got injured; a piercing wound through his waist, but his current condition is still manageable. However, he still needs treatment as soon as possible.

By the way, have you encountered that Nine-headed Monster?"

Li Qiang’s eyes immediately lit up upon hearing this familiar voice.

Wasn’t this the voice of his own father, Li He?

Li Qiang was overjoyed.

His father was still alive; that was great.

He had been worried on his way here that his father might not have survived until the rescue and died here.

Now that he heard his voice, he was relieved.

Professor Cao heard Li He’s words.

He was frantic with worry.

What?

Professor Zhou was injured?

And it was a piercing wound through his waist.

That sounded serious!

How old was old Zhou?

And to suffer such a severe injury?

Could this lead to any chronic problems?

If something were to happen here in the Ancient Tomb, how would he explain it to Zhou’s wife when he returned?

Before leaving, Professor Zhou’s wife had repeatedly made him promise to bring Professor Zhou back safely.

Professor Cao had indeed promised her that.

Though Professor Cao was anxious,

He also knew that panicking was useless.

He had to calm down.

Professor Cao took a deep breath and answered Li He’s question, saying, "We just encountered the Corpse Flower and are currently passing through the corridor where Emperor Jinai was taken away by a group of immortals. We should soon reach the next chamber.

We haven’t actually encountered the Nine-headed Monster you mentioned. Where are you exactly?"

Li He: "The corridor opened by Sima Pi for the Immortal Road, right? Then your current location should be the fourth floor of the Ancient Tomb. We are inside the fifth chamber which you will soon reach.

The Nine-headed Monster is here too; you must be careful! This Nine-headed Monster is not benevolent. It is immensely strong, impervious to blades and spears; its claws can split mountains and it can breathe fire and water. Its wings can whip up the Gang Wind Chaotic Sword, making it particularly hard to deal with. Are you sure you have what it takes to handle it?

If not, you better not come at all."

Some things, Li He had to clarify in advance.

The previous exploration team had been in the Ancient Tomb for a long time and was very familiar with its conditions.

They divided the basic situation of the Ancient Tomb by levels.

The first level was the Zombie Cave.

The second was Flame Lake.

The third was Plant Forest.

The fourth level was the Corpse Flower, which Professor Cao and his team had just passed.

The Nine-headed Monster was on the fifth level.

Including the specific situation of the Nine-headed Monster, since communication had been restored, then Li He definitely needed to make it clear to them.

According to Li He, this Nine-headed Monster had wings, talons, and immense strength.

It could breathe fire and water and manipulate the Gang Wind Chaotic Sword.

Blades and spears could not penetrate it.

It could not be dealt with by ordinary hot weapons.

Normal masters were as vulnerable as paper before the Nine-headed Monster.

After all, Li He himself was not weak.

If that Nine-headed Monster were so easy to deal with, Li He would not have been trapped here.

Therefore, Li He meant that if Professor Cao’s team did not have any top experts, it was better not to come.

Coming here would just mean death.

They couldn’t all die together, could they?

Hearing Li He’s words, Professor Cao glanced at the Heavenly Master.

Qin Hao nodded,

Signaling him not to worry, this so-called Nine-headed Monster didn’t need their intervention; it was left to Qingyun Mountain.

He could handle it in minutes!

With the Heavenly Master’s nod,

Professor Cao said, "You can rest assured about this. Leave the Nine-headed Monster to us. We have brought an expert with us this time; otherwise, we wouldn’t have made it this far."

Professor Cao reassured Li He and Professor Zhou.

Since they had come, they definitely wouldn’t return empty-handed.

They would surely rescue the people.

Professor Cao finished speaking, put away the walkie-talkie,

And then the group quickened their pace toward the fifth layer, the soluble cave.

Upon reaching the entrance of the chamber, the group could indeed hear the sound of a massive monster from within.

Qin Hao waved his hand, and Taoist Jing Xuan, Jing Feng, and Jiao Taoist, three Red Robed Taoists from Qingyun Mountain, moved to the front of the group.

This chamber was unlike the previous ones.

Qin Hao could feel that the Nine-headed Monster inside had some substance.

He couldn’t let these ordinary people risk their lives.

It was too easy for someone to get killed.

So, it was better to leave this chamber to the professionals.

The three Red Robed Taoists from Qingyun Mountain would explore the chamber.

Taoist Jing Xuan, Jing Feng, and Jiao Taoist moved to the very front of the group,

Looking towards the pitch-dark entrance.

Taoist Jing Xuan took out several Yellow Talismans.

He chanted a spell,

And then, he threw the Yellow Talismans from his hands.

The talismans danced in the air.

The talisman symbols quickly enlarged, intertwining in midair.

In just a moment, the talisman symbols had automatically converged into a huge Yellow Talisman lantern.

The lantern lit up and flew into the chamber, illuminating the entire chamber.

What was once pitch-dark now shone as bright as daylight.

Taoist Jing Xuan and the others entered.

Professor Cao and the others followed closely behind.

Now they could clearly see everything inside the chamber,

Including the Nine-headed Monster mentioned by Professor Zhou and Li He.

Initially, Professor Cao and his team thought the Nine-headed Monster was going to be similar to the gigantic creature with nine heads and a human face with a snake body described in the Classic of Mountains and Seas.

But after lighting the chamber, they realized it was completely different from what they had imagined.

The Nine-headed Monster inside the chamber

Was a huge black bird.

The black bird had nine heads, its glossy black feathers distinct and as hard as iron.

At the moment, it was circling and flying in the airspace of the chamber.

Each wave of its wings was accompanied by billowing black mist.

Clearly, this black bird had lived in the Underworld for years.

It was accustomed to the darkness.

Suddenly, as Taoist Jing Xuan introduced a Yellow Talisman lantern,

The entire chamber lit up as bright as day,

Causing the Nine-headed Black Bird great discomfort. ƒreewebηoveℓ.com

This feeling was like a man who had been used to sleeping naked at home.

Suddenly, a group of girls burst into his home and flipped his blanket.

The black bird was very uncomfortable.

It screeched loudly.

The massive noise wave hit the walls of the chamber.

Ye Jiuyun and the others then noticed that on the walls and the ground of the chamber,

Countless swords were embedded in the walls.

The ground was also messily piled with remnants of bladed weapons.

The cry of the Nine-headed Black Bird echoed through the Underworld.

The sound waves struck these bladed relics,

Instantly producing an even more terrifying noise.

The swords vibrated violently, clashing and creating a tremendous noise that was unbearable to hear.

There was even a feeling that one’s internal organs were also vibrating.

For Professor Cao and the others, this was their first encounter with such a terrifying sonic attack.

Apparently, this was one of the Nine-headed Black Bird’s attack methods.

Seeing this, Taoist Jing Xuan snorted coldly.

This attack of the Nine-headed Black Bird might work against ordinary people like Professor Cao,

But it was absolutely ineffective against a Golden Core cultivator like him; brandishing a sword before Guan Gong was simply asking for trouble.

It was just a Nine-headed miscellaneous bird, and Taoist Jing Xuan was ready to charge and subdue it.

However, just then, Jiao Taoist stepped forward, stopping Taoist Jing Xuan.

"Infinite Heavenly Venerable, Junior Brother Jing Xuan, let me handle this bird!"

If it had been any other creature, Jiao Taoist would not have competed with Taoist Jing Xuan.

But this one in front of him was a mythical bird.

Don’t forget, Jiao Taoist himself was a giant python transformed into a Jiao.

They were both mythical creatures.

It was one thing not to encounter each other normally,

But now that they had met,

Jiao Taoist felt an itch in his hands.

He used to belong to the Snake Clan.

There was somewhat of a racial hatred between the Snake Clan and the birds.

Many birds of prey in the animal kingdom preyed on snakes.

As the saying goes, sworn enemies are especially intense when they meet.

Now looking at this Nine-headed Black Bird, Jiao Taoist couldn’t resist.

Jiao Taoist: "No one interfere, this is a father-son showdown. Today, I’ll show you all how I’ll handle this Nine-headed feathered bird!"
