The Immortal Emperor Returns

Chapter 543 Prehistoric Fierce Beasts

The stampede soon reached the foot of the mountain. Countless beasts scattered in all directions.

The people strewn about the Suspended Mountain were all hurrying toward the mountain.

Zu Si and his people were the first to arrive.

“Kill!”

Zu Si took the lead and began to slay the beasts with his physical strength.

Hei Peng, Zhang Tianyou, and the others also busied themselves with fighting the beasts.

However, these beasts didn’t seem to be in the mood for a fight. They just raced.

In an instant, these people killed a large number of beasts.

They handed all the Heavy Prison Tokens they had acquired to Zu Si.

On the leaderboard, the number of Zu Si’s Heavy Prison Tokens far outstripped that of the others.

At this time, more and more people had arrived. All of them were chasing after the fleeing beasts.

Chu Xun rushed over with Ge Zhan. But he did not immediately start hunting down beasts. Instead, he looked around for Yue Jingchou and the others.

There were countless beasts everywhere. They had practically flooded the place.

There were quite many people there as well. All of them were fighting with all their might. Large packs of beasts collapsed one after another.

“Brother Chu, let’s kill the beasts first and earn some Heavy Prison Tokens first.”

Ge Zhan’s eyes burned with fervor. There were so many fierce beasts, and they even wouldn’t fight back. They were simply waiting for people to collect them.

Chu Xun slightly arched his brows. He had an uneasy feeling about this.

“Each of these beasts is at the Immortal Level and very powerful. But why are they only running away in all directions instead of fighting against human hunters?”

“Come on, let’s get out of here.”

Although his cultivation had been suppressed and so he could not employ the Evocation of Heavenly Secrets, Chu Xun still chose to believe in his intuition.

Ge Zhan was unwilling to give up. Still, he followed Chu Xun and retreated.

“Grrr!”

Shortly after Chu Xun and Ge Zhan backed away, a furious roar sounded halfway up the mountain. Rocks exploded and the ancient trees collapsed. Those running beasts quickly went into hiding, shivering in fear.

Those who were hunting those beasts paled abruptly. The terrifying and intimidating energy released from that roar made their hearts shudder. The pressure it produced swept over like a tide, causing their legs to tremble. They found that they couldn’t move at all.

“Thump, thump...”

The earth was shaking violently. Something big was coming down the mountain.

“Crack!”

Several ancient trees snapped in half at the waist, revealing an appalling huge head.

“That is...”

Ge Zhan, who was hiding behind a rock with Chu Xun, was struck dumb.

It was a T-Rex!

Chu Xun’s face was also written with trepidation. Judging by its head alone, it did look very much like a T-Rex, a prehistoric fierce beast.

More and more ancient trees continued to fall down. Like a giant boulder rolling down the mountain, the beast was moving at a ridiculously fast speed.

Zu Si was terrified as well. He called out, “Retreat.”

The crowds hunting beasts were fleeing in all directions.

Zu Si just so happened to escape in the direction where Chu Xun was.

“Brother Chu, should we?” Ge Zhan made a throat-slitting motion.

Chu Xun nodded slightly and prepared to ambush Zu Si.

Ge Zhan was about to say something more. But Chu Xun suddenly shushed him by putting his index finger on his lips.

“What’s wrong?” Ge Zhan asked silently with the bewildered look in his eyes.

Chu Xun pricked up his ears and motioned for Ge Zhan to listen.

“Rumble... Rumble...” It seemed to be the sound of stones rolling.

Suddenly, Ge Zhan felt a chill run down his spine, because the rock they were hiding behind suddenly moved.

Chu Xun jumped up, grabbed Ge Zhan by the arm, and ran like crazy.

They ran several kilometers in one breath before looking back.

At once, the two of them were flabbergasted.

In the place where they took shelter before stood a towering stone man. Countless stones were rolling toward him.

The stone man was more than a hundred feet tall. His body was made of rocks. The place where his heart was shining with red light. He was facing them with his back, so his expression could not be seen.

“Grrr!”

The stone man threw back his head and bawled. His voice was like a thunderclap, making the land nearby tremble.

The stone man happened to stand in the way of Zu Si and his men, who were dashing over frenetically.

They saw clearly that the stone man’s eyes were like two balls of dancing flames. There was no horrible aura around him, but he held others in great fear.

Zu Si’s eyes took on a tinge of ruthlessness. He leaped more than 10 meters forward, gathered his momentum, and punched the stone man in the abdomen.

“Wham!”

The stone man’s belly was smashed by Zu Si’s fist.

Zu Si landed on the ground with a cold smile on his face. He prepared to continue to attack. Just when, countless stones flew up from the ground, merged into one, and replaced by stone he had just destroyed.

“Grrr!”

The stone man growled in rage. It raised its mountainous foot and stomped on Zu Si and the others.

“Attack together!” Zu Si roared.

The group of people took action at the same time to resist the giant foot falling upon them.

“Bam!”

Zu Si and the others roared furiously. The ten of them, however, were forced to sink deep into the ground by this foot. Pain wracked their bodies. They felt like they were about to be torn up.

“Pfft!”

A Chosen One from the Assembly of Immortals couldn’t endure it anymore. He opened his mouth and blood squirted out.

The stone man lifted his foot and stomped again.

“Quick, dodge!”

Zu Si pulled out his feet that had sunk into the ground, then flung himself to the side to avoid the attack.

Hei Peng and the others also ducked.

“Help me...” that Chosen One from the Assembly of Immortals who just vomited blood called out in alarm.

No sooner did he pull his feet up than the mountainous foot descended.

“Poof”

The man was treaded into a mash.

Zu Si’s face could not be any more somber.

“Retreat!”

The group sprinted back in the direction they had come.

Ge Zhan was speechless with astonishment. “This stone man’s strength is really shocking.”

“Grrr!”

At this moment, the big guy on the mountain came down and revealed its true appearance.

It turned out to be a real T-Rex.

No one had thought that this kind of prehistoric beast that had been considered extinct could appear in this place.

It was more than a hundred feet tall. Its skin seemed as tough as stone. Its two thick hind legs were like sky-propping pillars while its two front claws were as sharp as knives. It also had a mouthful of intersecting fangs.

If a person were to fall into its mouth, he or she wouldn’t even be big enough to fill the gaps between its fangs.

Those running beasts were all prostrated on the ground, shivering in fear.

The T-Rex roared, then stamped its foot. About eight enormous cyan wolves, each around four meters long, were crushed into mincemeat.

Zu Si and the others froze in their tracks. Their complexions paled, as though they just heard their parents died.

In front of them was the T-Rex. Behind them was the stone man.

What was more, the T-Rex seemed to be staring at them.

What they didn’t know was that the T-Rex was actually staring at the stone man behind them.

“Grrr!”

At this time, another beast roar came from the west, shaking heaven and earth.

The people who had fled to the west just now bolted back in a panic.

“Thump, thump...”

All of a sudden, dull drumbeats shook people’s hearts.

“Who is beating a drum?” Ge Zhan muttered.

“If I’m not mistaken, it’s the Violent Ape,” said Chu Xun.

Sure enough, moments later, a daunting figure marched over from the west.

It was about the same height as the stone man. Its whole body was covered with black hair as firm as steel needles. He had a big mouth and sharp teeth. He looked just gruesome.

The Violent Ape pounded its chest and growled at the stone man and T-Rex.

Those who had fled over here were almost paralyzed by horror. They were surrounded in the middle by three appalling giant beasts.

“There should be more,” Chu Xun whispered.

“What more?”

Just as Ge Zhan’s words came out, a thunderous snarl sounded from the east.

“Rumble!”

The ground quaked. Rumbling sounds reached them quite fast.

A short while later, a giant python, which was thicker than a train, forced its way over. A gale instantly swept the place.

Both snakes and pythons could only hiss with their forked tongues. However, this fearful beast actually let out a furious roar.

“Holy cow!”

Ge Zhan’s hair stood on end. He contrasted him with the python, then found that he was not even as large as the python’s one scale.

“Roar!”

The Violent Ape was very savage. It pounded the ground with both hands. The ground cracked. And more than a dozen human beings were directly smashed into mists of blood.

Seeing this, everyone’s limbs ran cold and their hair stand on end.

They were surrounded from all sides, as though livestock waiting to be slaughtered.

“Kill!”

Ge Zhan’s face was lit with excitement. He and Chu Xun were in the outer region. He wished these people would all be killed. That way, he and Chu Xun could simply go pick up many Heavy Prison Tokens after that.

Chu Xun, on the other hand, had a wry smile on his face.

“I’m afraid we have to go in.”

Ge Zhan’s expression stiffened. He stared at Chu Xun with a bemused look. “Go in? What do you mean?”

Chu Xun pointed a finger to show him.

Ge Zhan looked in the direction Chu Xun pointed to. His eyes instantly narrowed.

He saw that Yue Jingchou and Gao Mohan were hiding beside a giant elephant crouching on the ground.

“They...”

Ge Zhan was utterly speechless.

Yue Jingchou and Gao Mohan also felt helpless. They had been chased down here by the T-Rex. Had they known this, they would have simply hidden in the tree hole and not come out.

“It’s all the dumb carrot’s fault,” the two grumbled in their heads.

“Brother Ge, you stay here. I’ll go and rescue them,” Chu Xun said.

“I’ll go with you.”

Chu Xun waved and said, “No. You stay here and coordinate with me.”

“Grrr!”

Right at this moment, the four appalling beasts moved altogether.

Like sworn enemies, they charged toward the one on the opposite side, roaring.

Since ancient times, there was a saying that kings did not meet other kings.

This could be considered the best interpretation of that saying.

The Violent Ape bolted at the T-Rex.

The stone man rushed to the python.

This was tough for the men and beasts stuck in the middle.

The four giant beasts were like four great mountains pressing down on them.

They weren’t the targets of the four fierce beasts. Those fierce beasts didn’t even care about those little potatoes at all.

But they were just bystanders implicated in the trouble.

Countless people and beasts were trampled to death on the spot.

The Violent Ape was extremely wild and brutal. With every step it took, there were unlucky people or beasts being crushed to death.

The T-Rex was even more terrifying. It was like a moving mountain.

The python abruptly lunged at the giant stone man. Its huge body slithered over. Whether people or beasts, they were injured when the python skimmed past them or killed once the python bumped right into them.

The stone man’s step cracked the ground. He hurtled toward the python.

Zu Si and the others were so vexed that their noses were put out of joint. The stone man seemed to be bullying them on purpose. When he took his second step, his foot stamped right toward their heads.

They took action to resist at the same time.

Fortunately, the stone man’s target was the giant python, so it lifted his foot as soon as it landed on them.

When the stone man’s large feet moved away, it could be seen that Zu Si and the others were all trampled into the ground.

Thankfully, the soil there was soft, and they were not injured.

One by one, they pulled themselves out from the ground like pulling carrots.

As soon as Hei Peng extracted half of his body, a black shadow came and stepped on his head.

Hei Peng was once again trampled into the ground.

“Pfft!”

The stamp was so heavy and powerful that it almost crushed his head and made him spit out a mouthful of blood.

Zu Si and the others looked over and their eyeballs almost burst out of their sockets. It was Yue Jingchou’s doing!

“You’ve gone too far, Yue Jingchou,” growled Hei Peng, his eyes almost shooting flames.

He was an expert of the Draconian race and had a respected status. When had he ever been stepped on the head before?

“We meet again, everyone,” Yue Jingchou guffawed triumphantly and left.

“I’m gonna kill you!” Hei Peng snarled.

However, the next second, Yue Jingchou doubled back and leaped high into the air.

“Yue Jingchou, what are you up to?” Hei Peng shouted in shock and fury.

Seeing this, Zu Si lunged at Yue Jingchou and threw him a punch at the same time.

The corners of Yue Jingchou’s lips curled into a sardonic grin as he swung his fists.

“Bang!”

There was a dull sound of a collision.

Zu Si’s expression changed radically. He felt a terrible force coming from Yue Jingchou’s fist, almost shattering his arms.

Zu Si was sent flying backward. He staggered a few paces before steadying himself. The space between his thumb and forefinger cracked, and his arms spasmed.

Xie Qingyun and the others were astounded. They had never seen Yue Jingchou fight on the way here. They did not know he would be so terrifying.

“Your physical body is really too weak.”

Yue Jingchou cast a scornful look at Zu Si before he swooped down and stomped Hei Peng on the head.

Hei Peng roared and pulled out half of his body up the ground, folding his arms to withstand Yue Jingchou’s stamp.

“Crack!”

An ear-splitting sound of bones cracking rang out. Hei Peng cried out miserably. Both of his arms were crushed by Yue Jingchou’s foot. Then, with a bang, his head was squashed, too.

Hei Peng, a famous expert of the Draconian race, had been killed with a single stamp.

“My second uncle once told me that brutes are not worthy of being called people,” Yue Jingchou said nonchalantly.

Xie Qingyun and his men were terrified. Yue Jingchou’s cultivation might not be great, but his physical strength was incredulously strong.
