Stunningly beautiful young lady

"It's so dark here, Qian Nishang, quickly take out your luminous pearl."

Before seeing her, one could hear her voice; a woman's voice rang out from the darkness, her tone somewhat arrogant.

The eldest daughter of the Qian family is rich and naive, and easy to manage. She will give them whatever they want, as long as it's not too outrageous.

This luminous pearl was merely an external possession, but despite asking Qian Nishang for it for so long, she simply refused to give it to her.

She's willing to take it out when needed, but he puts it back in his storage bag afterward.

Sun Manman couldn't see these people, and Su Ning was so worn down that he had neither the strength nor the energy to open his eyes.

"Hehehe, little cricket, looks like you're in for a big meal today."

As soon as the shadowy figure finished speaking, the black cricket tossed the two of them into a corner.

Then, when Qian Nishang took out the luminous pearl to illuminate the space, this is the scene that appeared:

A dark shadow loomed overhead, and a large black cricket, almost the size of an adult human, lay on the ground, constantly waving its pincers and several large legs.

In a corner opposite them, two people lay on the verge of death. If it weren't for the faint signs of life they still felt, they would have thought the two were already dead.

"This spirit beast is incredibly powerful!"

One of the men looked at the large cricket with a serious expression on his face.

He possessed the strength of a Spirit Master, which was considered below average for his age, but should have been quite high in this category. Who would have thought he couldn't even compare to a spirit beast?

"We're not those two good-for-nothings in the corner. No matter how strong we are, can we be stronger than our Brother Liu Shan!"

They had already sensed that the two people in the corner, barely breathing, were only at the level of Spirit Generals. They could easily defeat them with a flick of their fingers.

"Yes, I also think Sister Cai Wenji is right, but no one's strength can reach such a level as Brother Liu Shan's."

The woman speaking now is the same woman who just asked Qian Nishang to bring out the luminous pearl. She is notorious for bullying the weak and fearing the strong, and her eyesight is impeccable, but she is also rather foolish.

"Alright, Wei Guiying, Brother Liu Shan will deal with the spirit beast later. Let's find an exit first."

Seeing that there was no way out of this confined space, Cai Wenji rallied everyone to start taking action.

"Hehe, little cricket, it seems these people don't take us seriously."

The large, dark shadow chuckled eerily twice, then suddenly surged in the air above, appearing even more sinister under the illumination of the luminous pearl.

He hadn't seen such arrogant people in a long time. He was going to let his little cricket show off its skills and beat all these people who looked down on them to a pulp.

"You're just a soul, you'd better not stop us from finding a way out, or I'll beat you to a pulp first."

Liu Shan looked at the dark shadow above his head and issued a warning.

He glanced at the spirit beast and immediately discerned its strength, which was equivalent to a human Spirit Emperor of the second level. He was already a Spirit Emperor of the fifth level, so there was no way he could lose to it.

They've explored countless secret rooms and checkpoints, and have seen two or three ancient tombs, as well as all sorts of strange and unusual things.

So when they saw the dark figure, they weren't surprised at all.

"Kid, you've got quite the nerve. I'd like to see how many moves you can withstand from my giant cricket."

"It just so happens that it's been a bit rusty lately and needs to practice. Those two kids are too useless and not good enough for it. You two can be its sparring partners."

"Hahahaha... Hahahaha...!"

After saying these words, Liao Xianren let out a loud laugh, and then the darkness surging in the space became even more intense.

Neither side continued arguing, and Liu Shan charged forward wielding his twin swords.

In the blink of an eye, he was already in front of the giant black cricket, both of his long swords infused with earth-elemental spiritual power.

Just as the man was about to reach it, the large black cricket spat out a black ball of spiritual energy and shot it at Liu Chan.

"Oh!"

The two streams of spiritual energy collided, producing a violent collision sound that made everyone's ears ring.

"It's actually a spirit beast with black-type spiritual power, so its strength must be much greater."

Cai Wenji was extremely shocked when she saw this ball of black spiritual energy.

Black-type spirit beasts are extremely rare, and those that do exist are usually not very strong. I never expected to encounter such a powerful one in this ancient tomb in the lower realm.

Liu Shan sensed from this attack that the spirit beast was quite powerful, at least on par with him.

Before he could finish marveling, the spirit beast launched another attack on him, and the others, seeing this, also joined in the attack.

"Bang bang bang bang..."

Countless streams of spiritual energy rushed towards the black cricket, but it was too tough and thick-skinned. These insignificant streams of spiritual energy were like tickling it.

"Double Earth Mighty Slash!"

He shouted loudly, pushed off the ground with both feet, and soared into the air, the long swords in his hands spinning continuously in his mind.

Then, after gathering all his strength, he gripped the hilts of the two swords tightly with both palms, pressed his body down, and slashed fiercely at the back of the giant cricket.

"Sizzle~ Sizzle~"

The two blows felt like they had struck a metal plate, making his hands go numb from the impact.

The large black cricket wasn't as relaxed as it seemed. Although the two cuts didn't leave much of a mark on its shell, they still penetrated into its flesh with some force, causing it to feel a sharp pain.

"This black-type spirit beast is not only stronger, but also more resilient in appearance."

He wasn't a cultivator with a dark-type spiritual root, otherwise he would have wanted to form a contract with the large black cricket in front of him.

“Young Master Liu Shan, please show mercy to this spirit beast. I happen to be short of one.”

The purple-clad man could hardly contain his excitement. Dark-type spirit beasts were truly rare, and even those that existed had already been contracted, leaving none for him.

He's the only cultivator with a dark-type spiritual root here right now, so it's useless for anyone else to take it. Wouldn't that just benefit him later?

"Then you'll have to work even harder."

Seeing that Yao Wei often ran errands and did errands for him, Liu Shan agreed to let him form a contract with the spirit beast, as long as it remained loyal to him in the future.

Although his attack was evenly matched with the spirit beast, he hadn't yet unleashed his own spirit beast.

"Four-legged snake".

With a wave of his hand, a black and red four-legged snake appeared before everyone's eyes.
