Urban Supreme Wild Son-in-Law War God

Chapter 346 Natural Justice

"Let's go, let's look ahead!"

Under the illumination of Spiritual Energy's glow, Ye Ling and his companions slowly walked forward.

The entire tunnel was exceedingly long, the end not visible at a glance; yet, along the path, it was strewn with severed fingers and broken bones, creating an eerily bizarre scene.

"Boss, what do you think happened here?"

"Why are there so many bodies?"

Ye Jiu surveyed his surroundings and spoke with residual fear.

"They were sacrifices!"

Before Ye Ling could speak, Hong Meigui, who was nearby, interjected in a very grave tone.

"Sacrifices? What is that?"

"A sacrifice isn't a thing, it's a person!"

Hong Meigui's words left Ye Jiu utterly confused, unable to comprehend.

Seeing Ye Jiu's puzzled look, Hong Meigui patiently explained.

"The Huaqi Nation had actually sent many soldiers to investigate this cave, but it seems they encountered some monster, and most of the soldiers died."

"Only one lucky soldier managed to escape, but soon after, that soldier went mad."

"He only mentioned a monster below, nothing else!"

"But hearing that the monster devoured humans, Huaqi Nation came up with a good idea."

"So, they began to offer living people as sacrifices to the monster inside at regular intervals!"

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu suddenly understood and spoke.

"So, wife, when I saw you tied up by those soldiers before, you were meant to be a sacrifice, right?"

Hong Meigui nodded her head.

"Then what was Xue Luo's actual purpose in sending you here?"

Ye Ling looked at Hong Meigui and slowly articulated each word.

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu also showed an interested expression, watching Hong Meigui intently without blinking.

Hong Meigui cleared her throat and slowly began to speak.

"The first task was to send me to check your strength and, if possible, to eliminate you!"

"Now that you know this, considering how strong you are, let alone you, I can't even defeat Ye Jiu."

Upon hearing this, Ye Jiu deliberately straightened his face.

"Isn't that quite normal?"

"A wife not being able to defeat her husband is natural and right!"

These words left Ye Ling speechless; he had never realized how shameless Ye Jiu could be before.

Hong Meigui did not say anything more, but the blush on her pretty face said it all.

Ye Ling shook his head and continued walking forward.

After an unknown amount of time, a bright light suddenly appeared in the distance.

Seeing this, the three of them felt a surge of joy: "We're about to get out!"

However, their faces soon turned serious again.

After all, they had not forgotten that inside, a monster was lurking, watchfully eyeing them.

"Whew!"

"Finally, we're out! The smell inside was just unbearable!"

Ye Jiu greedily breathed in the fresh air in front of him, looking back in disgust.

Ye Ling, meanwhile, was surveying the surrounding scene; not far away, there was a huge pit, and inside the pit was a small tree emitting a green light!

In comparison with the gigantic pit, if it were not for the overwhelming vitality emanating from the tree, Ye Ling and the others might not have noticed it!

"What is that?"

Ye Ling raised an eyebrow, his face showing a trace of delight.

Feeling the aura emanating from the tree, Ye Ling became increasingly convinced of the tree's extraordinariness!

Thus, he quickly walked towards it, with Ye Jiu and the other following closely.

Upon entering the massive pit, a putrid smell directly invaded the noses of the three, revolting to the senses!

"Damn, what is that smell? Why is it so foul?"

Ye Jiu covered his nose, looking around with a look of disgust.

Suddenly, his pupils shrank abruptly, and a look of disbelief appeared on his face, as he pointed to something not far away and exclaimed aloud.

"Quick, look, what is that?"

Following the direction of Ye Jiu's finger, they saw heaps of dung, akin to small hills, haphazardly placed around them.

When they saw this scene, goosebumps sprang up all over their bodies.

The shock in their hearts overflowed like a tide, beyond words.

"Gulp!"

Ye Jiu swallowed hard, a sound that, in this quiet environment, seemed particularly jarring!

"This isn't just a massive pit! It's clearly some monster's lair!"

Ye Ling was equally shocked, silently pondering their next move.

It seemed that the rumors about a giant creature on Demon Dragon Island were true!

Otherwise, who could produce such enormous heaps of dung?

Ye Ling had already begun to feel the desire to retreat; this place was no longer safe!

His gaze turned to a small tree, his eyes flickering with indecision.

If they were to leave just like this, Ye Ling would feel reluctant.

After all, it would mean their trip had been in vain, having acquired no information.

Not to mention, they hadn't even seen what the monster looked like.

Ye Ling's expression continuously changed, alternating between cloudy and sunny, flickering with conflict.

Finally, gritting his teeth and stomping his foot, he made up his mind!

Never mind, stop thinking so much!

Retreat!

Take this small tree as interest, whatever happens next, we'll deal with it later!

Having made up his mind, Ye Ling's figure disappeared on the spot, and just as he approached the tree to pluck it.

At that moment, the sky changed colors!

A force that seemed capable of tearing everything apart surged across the sky directly, arriving in front of him in the blink of an eye.

Ye Ling's hairs stood on end, his face filled with a serious expression.

Leaping forward, his figure retreated a full ninety feet backwards, narrowly dodging the fierce wind.

But even having escaped so far, Ye Ling still felt waves of pain on his face.

Thinking of this, Ye Ling touched his cheek, and his mind was already made up.

Just as he was about to give the order to flee, it was then that a twenty-meter-long silhouette appeared in the sky.

Slowly flying from the distant horizon, it took only a few breaths to reach directly above Ye Ling and the others.

Ye Ling and the others were startled, raising their heads to look at this massive creature, their pupils filled with a hint of fear.

They saw that this enormous creature had a cluster of dragon horns on its head, its body pitch black, resembling a dragon to a great extent.

However, it had only four claws!

"This isn't a dragon! It's a jiao!"

Seemingly understanding everyone's thoughts, Ye Ling spoke up to remind them.

"Dragons have five claws, but a jiao only has four!"

Hearing this, everyone turned their gaze towards the jiao's claws, and after confirming they were correct, they finally breathed a sigh of relief.

If they were to say that this massive creature was a dragon, then how could they fight?

Even if all of them combined, they surely couldn't match a golden dragon!

"Don't celebrate too early!"

"Although this is just a jiao dragon, it's not to be underestimated!"
