Chapter 586: Source Energy
With the rapid swallowing sound, the sticky water in the giant pit quickly became less at a speed visible to the naked eye.
In the space of a breath, half of the water in the pit had already reached the bottom, revealing the huge body of the source beast in the giant pit.
The source beast that drank up all the water in the pool was obviously a circle larger than what the two had just seen.
Its two long tentacles, stretched out, are estimated to be more than a hundred feet, and two or three feet thick.
And its short and thick tentacle is also twenty or thirty feet long, and more than five feet thick.
Except for the true spirits he had seen in the bottle sea, this was the first time Duan Qing had seen such a huge creature.
Although he was shocked, Duan Qing still had a very clear view of the situation.
Now that the source beast had awakened, it attacked him right away, so he had to fight.
Strike first to gain the upper hand!
Duan Qing decisively mobilized his spiritual power, condensed a Vermillion Bird Feather in his hand, and instantly hit the triangular body of the source beast.
Zhaixing, who was standing by, was obviously no fool either. He controlled A-di and used the Desolate Sky Mirror to shoot a divine light at the source beast.
Duan Qing's Vermillion Bird Feather hit the source beast first, creating a fist-sized black hole on the source beast's body, and began to rapidly carbonize the surrounding flesh and blood.
The divine light of Zhaixing's Desolate Sky Mirror directly blasted off a piece of flesh and blood of the source beast.
The source beast was in pain, and its two hundred-foot-long tentacles waved violently, smashing the wall of the giant pit into pieces.
Seeing this, Duan Qing and the others had to retreat more than ten feet again to avoid being affected.
As soon as the two retreated, the source beast in the giant pit crawled out of the giant pit with its two tentacles, and coiled in front of the two.
Fortunately, it was coiled. If it stood up with two hundred-foot-long tentacles, the highest point would probably be able to explore the lake surface.
You have to know that this underground lake is only more than a hundred feet deep in total.
The flat circular water-proof cover at the bottom of the lake is only twenty or thirty feet at its highest point.
Duan Qing noticed that in just a few moments, the flesh and blood that had just been blasted off by the Star-Picking Desolate Sky Mirror had grown back on the Source Beast.
Fortunately, the wound caused by his Vermillion Bird Feather was still there, and it had spread to a carbonized area the size of a millstone.
However, this injury seemed insignificant on the huge body of the Source Beast.
This discovery made Duan Qing feel a little relieved.
As long as the Source Beast could be injured, it meant there was still hope.
The only thing he was afraid of was that the Source Beast could even recover from the injuries caused by his Vermillion Bird Transformation Technique.
In that case, there was no need to fight, just wait to die.
While Duan Qing was thinking, the Source Beast, which had just climbed out of the giant pit, directly waved a huge tentacle, sweeping towards him with a shocking force.
Duan Qing saw this and immediately retreated again.
Star-Picking was also within the attack range of the tentacle, and he also retreated with Duan Qing.
As the two of them dodged, the attacks of the Source Beast fell on the ruins around the giant pit.
There was a loud rumble, and the huge tentacles of the source beast directly swept out a fan-shaped blank area of dozens of feet in size.
Duan Qing and Zhaixing looked at each other, both of them bitter.
A casual attack has such power, this source beast is probably not so easy to deal with.
However, at this point, everyone has to stay at the bottom of the lake for several hours. This source beast will never get along with everyone peacefully. Now it is a life-and-death situation.
Thinking of this, the two of them are ready to use their own means to attack the source beast again.
But at this moment, Duan Qing was horrified to find that the connection between his body and the sea of qi was gradually disappearing.
In just a breath, he could no longer sense the existence of the sea of qi.
This...!
Duan Qing was shocked. Without spiritual power, how can he fight!
Zhaixing next to him also changed his face and exclaimed: "It's the source qi! The source qi of this beast has the ability to block the sea of qi."
At this moment, the flames on the four flame knives in A-di's hand have disappeared, revealing the original blade.
The Taihuang Sect failed in its many attempts to kill the source beast, precisely because the Taihuang Sect members who entered the wasteland would have their qi sea blocked by the source energy, and would be unable to use their spiritual power.
He originally thought that this source beast had not yet grown up and should not be able to use the source energy, but he did not know that this beast had grown to this point!
Being unable to use spiritual power means that even if there are means to restrain the source beast, they cannot be used.
Even the spiritual treasure cannot be activated.
In this case, how can the source beast be killed!
For the first time in his life, Zhaixing had the idea of retreating.
Hearing Zhaixing say this, Duan Qing felt a tightness in his chest, and glared at Zhaixing and scolded: "The source beast has this ability, why didn't you say it earlier!"
This idiot really hurt me badly!
If he had known earlier that the source beast had such a perverted ability, he would not have dared to take this risk.
In comparison, he would rather not have the method to break the waste curse.
This is not just about his life. The source beast is now crazy, and it is possible that it will also implicate Xue Wanyun and others.
Being scolded by Duan Qing, Zhaixing just opened his mouth and couldn't say a word.
While Duan Qing and the others were complaining in their hearts, the source beast changed again.
Its huge body, like a mountain, dissolved and collapsed, and in an instant, it turned into hundreds of water masses with strange patterns.
Then, the strange patterns on the hundreds of water masses all emitted strange light, and after a transformation, it turned into a much smaller source beast.
Of course, this smallness is only relative to the previous source beast. In fact, each of these hundreds of source beasts is two or three feet in size, almost comparable to the three-headed and six-armed brother.
Duan Qing looked at the hundreds of small source beasts in front of him, thinking.
For some reason, when the source beasts turned into water balls just now, he seemed to vaguely see two human faces, one big and one small, in each water ball.
The big human face was full of ferocity, while the smaller one had a dull expression.
How could there be a human face inside the source beast?
Or two?
Before Duan Qing could figure out what was going on, hundreds of source beasts moved in unison, directly splitting into two groups, one with only a dozen or so, and pounced on Zhaixing.
The rest, about a hundred source beasts, which were ten times the number of the other side, suddenly attacked Duan Qing.
Seeing this, Duan Qing felt a surge of galloping horses in his heart!
What is this!
Why is it treated so differently!
Of the two, Zhaixing and A-di's side obviously looked more difficult to deal with, so why would this source beast use most of its incarnations to deal with him!
Considering that the source beast had attacked twice before, it seemed that both were aimed at him.
Could it be that this source beast had a grudge against him, Duan Qing?
However, time did not allow him to think too much. Facing so many source beast incarnations, Duan Qing turned around and fled without thinking.
Seeing this scene from the corner of his eyes, Zhaixing could not help but be a little dazed.
Does this source beast look down on him, Zhaixing, or does it have a personal grudge with the kid from the Shinto sect!
Source beasts are only born in wastelands, and it is too fantasy to have a grudge with that kid!
Regardless of the truth, the pressure on him is much less.
"Hehe, you deserve it."
Muttering to himself, Zhaixing no longer pays attention to Duan Qing, and focuses all his attention on the dozens of source beast incarnations that attacked him.
Although he also wants to escape, he knows that he can't escape.
It is still daytime, and the countless eight-legged eagles on the lake must still be gathering outside. Where can he escape to?
