Chapter 316 Death Knight

"It's the same entrance and exit, so how come it fell from the sky when I came back?"

Bai Qi got up from the ground, patted Gamma who was cushioning his fall, and said, "Thank goodness for Gamma, otherwise I would have fallen to my death."

Click-clack.

(Thank you for the compliment, Master.)

Gamma rubbed against Bai Qi contentedly, while Alpha suddenly stood in front of Bai Qi.

Crackling.

(Master, there is a Beast Soul Master.)

Bai Qi was stunned when he heard this, only then realizing that he was surrounded by a group of beast soul masters, and not far away on the opposite side, were Li Xusheng and the others who looked astonished.

"Uh, it seems like it was placed in the wrong location?"

Bai Qi scratched his head, but the Beast Soul Masters clearly didn't want him to remain in a daze any longer, and they manipulated their Martial Souls to launch attacks on him.

"Although we don't know what happened, so many martial spirits are a perfect replenishment for the Sword of Death. Alpha, take them down!"

Crackling.

(Don't worry, boss, they won't get away.)

Alpha's Sword of Death pointed at the group of Martial Souls, and a death force field suddenly unfolded, directly enveloping those Martial Souls.

As a spiritual force aggregate, the martial soul could not withstand the aura of the death field and ran away with a wail, while Bai Qi took the opportunity to slip back into the friendly forces.

"Bai Qi, how did you fall from the sky? And what about this egg?"

Feng Ye asked with some curiosity, while Dean seemed thoughtful, saying, "Could this be the inheritance of the Sunwheel Beetle?"

Upon hearing Dean's words, everyone turned to look, and some even adopted a dangerous gaze.

If the offspring of mythical creatures were to hatch, wouldn't they be invincible?

"Cough cough, how could that be? These are my five pets, they just happened to evolve."

Bai Qi's expression turned serious as he looked at the opposite side and said, "Let's defeat these Beast Soul Masters first."

Seeing Bai Qi's appearance, Feng Ye and the others all twitched their lips. Could this excuse be any more fake?

Despite their complaints, they didn't actually detect any aura similar to that of the Sun Wheel Beetle, so they quickly turned their attention back to their business.

Although they were caught off guard by Alpha, these beast soul masters were all of high level and quickly recovered, regrouping to fight back.

Even so, Alpha's attacks still made these martial souls very wary, and coupled with the Undying Flame's occasional surprise attacks, these beast soul masters were still in a very sorry state.

"Take care of them quickly, things are definitely getting chaotic outside too."

Li Xusheng knocked away a martial spirit that tried to ambush them with a single hammer blow, left a message, and then charged into the ranks of beast spirit masters. Dean and the others were not to be outdone and joined the fray.

Facing twelve prodigies, these beast soul masters, despite their strong combat experience, were quickly routed by Alpha and the Judgment Angel, two monarch-level creatures, and were forced to huddle together.

"What should we do with them next? Should we interrogate them to find out where the other entrance is?"

Feng Ye looked at the Beast Soul Master, who had basically lost his ability to fight, and asked.

"These are all native beast soul masters trained by the tribe. Normal interrogation methods won't get you anything out of them."

Dean shook his head, looked at Carl, and said, "Besides, it's not time for that yet."

As soon as the words were spoken, the necklaces and bracelets on these beast soul masters lit up with various colors, and at the same time, powerful auras emanated from their martial souls.

Martial Souls are formed by Beast Soul Masters based on the image of their contractors. With the assistance of Soul Weapons, they can project their consciousness even from a great distance.

This is something that ordinary beast tamers, apart from those who have experienced it like Li Xusheng, Dean, and Karl, simply do not know.

Seeing the increasingly powerful martial souls, Li Xusheng, Dean, and the others exchanged glances, and their respective pet beasts simultaneously unleashed powerful auras, intending to defeat them before the beast soul masters could contact their ferocious beasts.

Just then, an invisible wave suddenly swept over all the Beast Soul Masters. The Soul Weapons that had become increasingly dazzling suddenly dimmed, and the Beast Soul Masters turned pale, clearly having suffered a significant shock.

Seeing this, everyone looked at each other in bewilderment, and then turned to the husky that had conjured up a strange device.

"Done."

Seeing that Shuke's device was working, Bai Qi nodded in satisfaction.

This Horcrux is just a soul signal amplifier, and it's so far away that it'll be interfered with in no time.

"Bai Qi, what kind of invention is this now?"

Looking at the seemingly impressive but ultimately ineffective Beast Soul Master opposite him, Feng Ye looked at the instruments on Shu Ke's body with some surprise.

"It's nothing. We just encountered a Beast Soul Master last time, so we designed a jamming device specifically for that purpose. So far, it seems to be working well."

Everyone fell silent upon hearing this. How could Bai Qi describe an instrument capable of preventing the legendary ferocious beast from descending as no different from the air conditioner at home?

Because the summoning device was interrupted, the Beast Soul Masters' condition was also greatly affected. Alpha immediately seized the opportunity and forcibly killed two Martial Souls, and the range of the Death Force Field immediately increased significantly.

However, before Alpha could even make a move, Li Xusheng and Dean launched their attack, defeating the remaining few.

Having lost their martial spirits, the beast spirit masters collapsed to the ground, utterly powerless to resist.

"Alright, how do we get out now?"

Bai Qi looked at Karl. The Ishu family must have already entered the country, so the blame would naturally fall on Karl.

"I'm sorry, I did come here beforehand, but that was all controlled by the head of the family. We couldn't get out on our own."

Karl shook his head and said, "We can only wait for the patriarch to take us out now."

Bai Qi frowned slightly upon hearing this. Although there was a secret realm between them, the black mist serpent was clearly not someone to be trifled with. If it managed to find a way to break through to this place, they would all be doomed.

"Bai Qi, haven't you already entered the next level? Perhaps you have any methods to share?"

Dean noticed Bai Qi's unusual behavior, glanced at the vertical pupil on Beta's head, and said, "If I'm not mistaken, the eyes on your pet's head and those of the Three-Eyed Civilization come from the same source?"

Upon hearing this, everyone turned their heads. They had all seen the contents of the mural in the stone chamber, but they hadn't paid attention to it before because they were facing the Beast Soul Master. Now, after Dean mentioned it, they noticed the abnormality of Beta's three eyes.

"I did get to the next level, but would you believe me if I said I didn't know how to open it?"

Feng Ye looked at him with disdain, clearly not believing him at all, and Bai Qi could only sigh helplessly.

If he said there was a monster inside that had swallowed even legendary creatures whole, these people probably wouldn't believe him.

"Alright, let's explore this place properly first. Since the obelisk can teleport us here, there must be an exit here."

Seeing that Bai Qi had no intention of speaking, Dean immediately changed the subject, but before anyone could respond, Li Xusheng suddenly attacked a deserted corner.

At the same time, Alpha and Beta both sensed something and launched attacks on that corner.

"You're not my target, get out of my way."

Just as Li Xusheng's attack was about to land, a figure wearing knight's armor suddenly appeared and kicked Li Xusheng away. Behind the knight's armor, a man whose face was hidden under a strange mask slowly walked out.

"Is there any backup?"

Bai Qi glanced at the Beast Soul Master beside him and frowned slightly.

Crackling.

(Boss, it seems to have the power of death within it, but it also doesn't seem to.)

"The power of death again? Didn't the teacher say it was very rare? How come it's so common now?"

Bai Qi was somewhat taken aback, but the knight's armor in front of him did not give Bai Qi time to react. After punching the husky away, it grabbed Alpha.

Upon seeing this, Alpha immediately slashed out with his sword, but the usually invincible sword of death only left a shallow mark on the knight's armor after it landed, failing to cause any real damage to the armor.

"Be careful, this guy might be a legend!"

Li Xusheng struggled to his feet, wiping the blood from the corner of his mouth. His blood tail swayed wildly behind him, as if he wanted to continue his attack.

"legend?"

Upon hearing this, everyone exclaimed in surprise, "A legend! This is not an opponent we can handle right now!"

A legendary figure actually managed to sneak in. Could there really be another entrance?

Seeing Alpha struggling under the knight's armor, Bai Qi gritted his teeth and said, "Never mind, even a legendary character has to go. Waiting to die isn't in my nature."

After saying that, Bai Qi released all four of his pets, which charged toward the knight's armor together.

Although it's just speculation, the Knight Armor didn't seem to attack Alpha as simply and brutally as it did Li Xusheng; it seemed more like they wanted to capture Alpha alive.

Considering the death-like energy emanating from the other party, this guess is highly likely to be correct.

When an unknown person comes to steal his pet beast, Bai Qi naturally cannot sit idly by and wait to die.

It was obvious, however, that no matter how outstanding Bai Qi's pet beasts were, they still couldn't overcome the gap with the legendary ones, and were defeated in almost a single encounter.

"Damn it, Alpha, come back first."

Upon seeing this, Bai Qi immediately tried to put away Alpha. Seeing this, the knight armor wasted no more time, and a black power spread out from the armor, grabbing towards Alpha.

howl……

Just then, a wolf howl, seemingly from the depths of the soul, rang out. The torches in the temple suddenly shook violently, pulling the reflections of everyone towards the center of the square. They slowly rose like liquid, gradually coalescing into a human shape.

Finally, the shadow solidified completely, and a tall creature with a wolf's head and a human body, wearing ribbons and holding a metal scepter appeared before everyone.

"Damn it, why wasn't this thing mentioned in the intelligence?"

Upon seeing the strange creature appear, the man, who had been calm, suddenly changed his expression. The knight in his armor immediately grabbed Alpha and pulled him back into the shadows behind him.

"Holy crap, put it down..."

Seeing this, Bai Qi cursed angrily and was about to forcibly recall Alpha when a gust of wind swept by. The wolf-headed man instantly appeared in front of the knight's armor and, before the knight could react, grabbed his head with his left hand and slammed it into the ground.

The legendary creature couldn't even withstand a single move from this wolf-headed man!
