It's okay for me to bully my wife for the sake of the young master's dignity, right?

Chapter 126 [055] Ancient People, Immortal
A huge monster emerged from the bottom of the mine, with its upper body at least 5 meters long.

“Because, because, because, because—”

He roared like a giant whale in the deep sea, and the sound waves repeatedly hit the cave wall and spread. There was no stable object around him. The simple elevator vibrated under the cable, and the top platform frame was tilted. This was how the little brother fell before.

“Ahhhhh! Help, help!”

This little brother was very unlucky and broke a leg when he fell. His cry for help attracted the attention of the monster.

The monster opened its eyes.

Now that half of the mining lamps were out, the monster opened his eyes and re-lit the cave. His eyes were like searchlights!
And there are not just two searchlights, there are dozens of light beams emitted from the position of his eyes. If you look closely, you will find that this monster has no eyes!
The light came from inside the monster's body. Someone used a large-caliber machine gun to leave many bullet holes in the place of his eyes. Bright beams of light shot out from the bullet holes, as if a large steel furnace was running inside the monster's body!

“Because, because, because, because—”

The monster opened its terrifying mouth and shot out a stronger light beam from inside. The brother with a broken leg was enveloped by the beam and before he could call for help, all his flesh and blood disappeared, turning into a pile of eerie bones!
This is different from the bones that the miners turned into after being eaten by mutant rats. The bones are old and dark, as if the monster sucked away time while sucking away life!

Qin Jiandan held his breath and dared not move a step.

Vale behind him was shaken to tears by the sound waves. She raised her hands slightly, and her shoulders and tail shook like a sieve.

Chen Tom and others on the platform above their heads had blood flowing from their ears and nostrils after being attacked by sonic waves. They could only help each other to avoid falling from above, and temporarily lost the ability to open the sealed door of the shaft.

"Hmmmm..." Ding Ling was so frightened that she couldn't cry out loud. She kept shedding tears to express her silent fear. Big tears fell on her chest, and a few drops fell on Qin Jiandan's head below.

Luckily, the nun scared her so much that she peed her pants! Otherwise, something else would have fallen down. I don’t have a hobby of “holy water showers”!

Nun Tie Xin at her side used her inner strength to resist the sound waves and was not harmed by them. However, Ah Ku on her shoulder was bleeding from not only his ears, mouth and nose, but also his eyes.

Ah Ku panted painfully for a minute, then gritted his teeth and asked:
"Granny, what kind of monster is this? Is he going to eat us too?"

Nun Tie Xin's lips moved slightly, and it was obvious that she didn't want to make a loud noise in front of the monster:
"My master told me that this is the 'Xuan Yin Ancient Corpse' which is older than the Ring Stone City, but some people also call them 'Ancient Corpse Yin Beasts'."

"What an ancient corpse beast!" Qin Jiandan cursed with a smile, trying to regain some courage from this behavior.

Just as Master Tie Xin said, this was a skinny humanoid monster, with a crown-shaped head that bulged backwards and four thin arms. His body was covered with a black substance similar to that of a Yin beast, but the black substance had been completely solidified and would not produce black mist floating with his movements.

Qin Jiandan also heard from his master that under certain special circumstances, the black fog could coexist with the host, borrowing the host's image before his death and becoming a new, immortal being.

What was this ancient corpse beast like when it was alive? Was the bullet hole in his eye suppressed by the company? If he is older than Ringstone City, then he must be an original inhabitant of this planet?

“Because, because, because, because—”

The ancient corpse beast used sonic attacks again! One of Chen Tom's bodyguards couldn't stand the shock of the echo and the fear in his heart, so he jumped down from the platform holding a large box of phlogiston crystals!

"Die with me, monster!!"

The unprotected phlogiston crystals randomly placed in the metal box soon collided with each other to create sparks, and the power of the chain detonation was no less than that of 10 phlogiston grenades!

"Xiao Li!!"

Chen Tom called out his bodyguard's name but it was too late. Xiao Li's body disappeared in the explosion. But when the smoke and dust cleared, not only was the ancient corpse beast unharmed, but he also used his four arms to completely protect Xiao Li!
Four palms spread out like blooming lotuses, and Xiao Li's arms were held by the ancient corpse beast, suspended at the height of its mouth.

It looked like an ancient wizard was about to bestow blessings on his believers, and also like the god of death was about to blow out the candle of life.

"Ahhh! Ahhhh!"

Xiao Li let out a desperate cry, and the ancient corpse beast opened its huge mouth and shot out rays of light, instantly sucking up all the victim's flesh and blood!
The bones were thrown to the ground, and the monster began to look for its next victim. The light from the bullet hole in his eye swept across the cave wall, passing by Qin Jiandan's feet several times.

Qin Jiandan didn't dare to act rashly. It wasn't that he didn't want to save his younger brother who had fallen and the bodyguard who had jumped down and exploded, but he just didn't have the ability.

The "Steel Armor Breathing Method", which had always been the greatest reliance in combat, suddenly malfunctioned, as if it had some connection with the black substance on the ancient corpse beast.

The situation was extremely dangerous! Qin Jiandan was already having trouble protecting himself and had no energy left to save more people.

Even if he only took Valei with him to escape, Qin Jiandan was prepared to lose an arm or a leg. "Throw it down! Throw all the phlogiston crystals down! Don't let little Li Bai die!"

Under Chen Tom's order, more metal boxes filled with phlogiston crystals were dropped. It seemed that Chen Tom and his bodyguard Xiao Li had a good relationship. In his extreme anger, Chen Tom even restrained his habit of saying "meow" at the end of his sentences.

"Boom! Boom! Boom! Boom!"

More explosions appeared on the head and shoulders of the ancient corpse beast, but he was more confused about it. Master Tie Xin took the opportunity to swing out six sword winds, and the sword winds hit the hard surface and made a tooth-grinding echo. The dust cleared, and the ancient corpse beast, which was unharmed, continued to fire beams to search for prey.

"Amitabha." Master Tie Xin raised one hand and said, "This beast can't see anything. It will eat anyone who screams in fear."

Qin Jiandan suddenly realized: the ancient corpse beast originally had no eyes, and it was the light from the bullet hole in his eye that created an illusion! If he could see things, the people in the mine would have been eaten by him long ago!
“Fall—inininininin—”

The sonic attack sounded again, and the ancient corpse beast roared and began to dig the ground with its four arms. He wanted to drill out of the ground completely!

Ding Ling's eyes were filled with tears and blood. She opened her mouth to scream, but Chen Tom quickly stepped forward to cover her mouth:

"If you don't want to die, shut up!"

One of the younger brothers was bleeding from his mouth and nose, and his calves were cramping. He shouted to the people below:

"Young Master, please use the "Wolf Roaring Bullet" to save everyone!"

Nonsense! If I knew how to use it, I would have used it a long time ago! Not only do I not know how to use the "Wolf Howling Bullet", but now even the "Steel Armor Breathing Technique" doesn't work all the time!
Qin Jiandan discussed with Master Tie Xin beside him:
"I'll take Vale and jump onto the platform via the conveyor belt to help Chen Tom open the sealed door. Nun, can you follow me up?"

The old nun shook her head:
"Just because the ancient corpse beast reacts most strongly to screams of fear doesn't mean it can't hear other sounds. The noise you make when you open the sealed door will attract attacks, so someone must be there to contain it."

At this point, a line of blood flowed out of the corner of Master Tie Xin's mouth. She was not young, and had been fighting with Qin Jiandan and the Yin beast continuously, so her internal injuries were aggravated.

Qin Jiandan was silent.

The light leaking from the bullet holes in the eyes of the ancient corpse beast is purely for show, and it doesn't matter if you are hit by that light. But the light emitted from the mouth of the ancient corpse beast can instantly turn a person into bones.

If the sound of Qin Jiandan opening the sealed door was noticed by the ancient corpse beast, all the people gathered at the bottom of the shaft would be wiped out.

Master Tie Xin's six consecutive sword winds were unable to cause any damage to the ancient corpse Yin beast. Qin Jiandan did not think that the ancient corpse Yin beast was an opponent that could be defeated by the combined efforts of the two of them.

The old nun was right. At least one person had to be left behind to hold back the group so that there would be enough time for everyone to evacuate the shaft. The person who was left behind was in danger of death!
"I'll stay." Qin Jiandan said generously, "But Master, you have to swear to the Buddha that you will take Valei and the others away and protect them to return to their homes safely!"

Valei said anxiously: "Let's go together! How can I explain to Mu Yue if you die!"

She saw that Qin Jiandan's face was scratched by flying stones. Although she didn't know the details, she felt that the situation was very bad.

Master Tie Xin half closed her eyes, as if sneering:
"Escape to the desert is not necessarily safe. The ancient corpse is digging three feet into the ground. I guess it wants to free itself and rush to Ringstone City to eat people. I'm afraid you will be reduced to skeletons before you get halfway."

Qin Jiandan observed the ancient corpse beast's digging action again. It had four arms with sharp claws and was extremely efficient. At this time, its strangely shaped waist and tail were vaguely revealed.

An ordinary black fog invasion can destroy 2 or 3 settlements. Once such a huge ancient corpse beast is free to move and rush to the edge of the nearest outer city district 4, at least 10 settlements will be devastated. That is the territory of the Night Dragon Society!
"No, let me stay!"

A small, slightly hoarse, but extremely firm voice made a resounding statement.

Ah Ku slid down from Master Tie Xin's shoulder and walked towards the ancient corpse of the evil beast on the violently shaking ground.

"What are you doing?" Nun Tie Xin looked unhappy. "There are so many adults here, do you really need a little mouse like you to be sacrificed?"

After enduring repeated sonic attacks, the dwarf rat's mouth and nose were bleeding, and tears of blood flowed from the corners of her eyes. She walked towards the terrifying giant monster with one foot deep and one foot shallow.

"I...I no longer have a home of my own to return to."

"This mine... is where my parents and my entire family were buried. Thanks to the young master for avenging me and Mr. Wang. If a little mouse like me can save everyone, isn't that a very worthwhile thing?"

"The only regret is," Ah Ku turned back and looked up at Qin Jiandan's tall figure:
"Mr. Wang said fried chicken is delicious, but I have never eaten it. I hope I can have the chance to eat it in my next life."
