Extraordinary Awakening, starting with Samadhi True Fire

Chapter 608 Strange Beasts of the Stars

Five days passed in the blink of an eye.

The leader who had previously captured Xiao Weiqing and Leibo came knocking on their door.

"I've seen you all work fairly well these past few days. Now there's an opportunity for you, a chance to be free. It's up to you whether you can seize it."

Xiao Weiqing and Leibo exchanged a glance.

Xiao Weiqing asked, "What opportunity?"

"Lord Aurel needs ten people to carry out a mission below the Black Spring. Once the mission is completed, you will be set free."

"What mission?"

"I can't tell you now."

"Is it dangerous?"

"There is definitely some danger, but don't worry, with Lord Ori leading you, you will be fine."

Xiao Weiqing sneered inwardly, "I think something must have happened." However, he kept his expression unchanged and could not show any abnormality.

"Do you stand by your word?"

"Of course, if you don't believe me, I'll find someone else. You just arrived on Black Spring Star, and your strength hasn't declined significantly yet, so that's why I'm looking for you. If you're unwilling, then forget it."

With that, the leader prepared to leave.

"etc."

At this moment, Leibo called out to the leader.

"Boss, agree to his request. We can leave once we complete the mission. I can't just stay here and wait to die. I have kids waiting for me at home."

Leib's tone carried a hint of pleading.

Xiao Weiqing frowned, thought for a few seconds, and then said, "Okay, let's go!"

"A wise decision."

The leader's lips curled up in a smile.

"Come with me."

soon.

The leader took the two men to a gathering place.

"Sir, everyone has arrived."

A simple stone house.

A person emerged from inside. This person was two meters tall, shrouded in a black robe, making it impossible to see their face. The aura they exuded was not weak, and their strength was similar to that of Leibo.

"You few will follow Lord Aurelius. Once the matter is settled, you will be set free."

Xiao Weiqing and Leibo showed some interest.

As for the other eight miners, they remained completely unmoved, seemingly indifferent to the matter, like walking corpses.

"Come with me."

Auri, dressed in black, boarded the aircraft.

Xiao Weiqing, Leibo, and eight other miners followed him up.

Neither the guards nor the leaders went.

Xiao Weiqing sighed inwardly; this mission was indeed a path of no return.

The aircraft cabin door is closed.

After takeoff, it headed in a certain direction until it stopped at a huge black spring lake an hour later.

"Walk."

The man in black robes, Aurelius, opened the hatch and went out first.

Ten miners stepped out of the hatch, and within seconds, they fell into the lake and plummeted downwards.

This Black Spring No. 77 is much deeper than Black Spring No. 1163; it took them a full fifteen minutes to reach the bottom of the lake.

The pressure suddenly increased significantly.

Xiao Weiqing didn't care. He glanced at Leibo and, seeing that he was alright, stopped worrying.

The other eight miners were not doing well; two of them appeared to be on the verge of fainting.

The black-robed Ori remained silent, and the group waited quietly.

Thump~~

Knock knock~~

Sudden.

A tremor came from beneath my feet, and the mud and sand undulated rhythmically, as if something was about to emerge from below.

Boom~~

One kilometer ahead, the silt suddenly sank, and lake water poured in, forming a huge whirlpool.

The miners who were previously unable to stand were directly sucked into the vortex, their fate unknown.

Followed by.

The vortex's suction force grew stronger and stronger, and the other eight miners were suddenly sucked in. Before they could even scream, they disappeared without a trace.

Things are changing too fast.

Just a few seconds.

The fate of the eight remains unknown.

Seeing that something was wrong, Leibo didn't care about anything else and quickly took out his key to unlock the door.

But before the two restraints on her ankles could be released, she was swept away by the vortex.

"Xiao Weiqing, save me!"

Xiao Weiqing stood at the bottom of the lake, letting the whirlpool pull him along, yet he remained unmoved, grabbing Leibo's calf with one hand to prevent him from being swept away by the whirlpool.

Leibo breathed a sigh of relief and immediately released the two restraints on his ankles.

"We almost messed up."

Having regained his strength, Leibo was no longer afraid of the vortex and stood with Xiao Weiqing.

When the black-robed Ori saw Leibo break free of his restraints, he was surprised but made no other move, simply staring at the center of the vortex.

"Roar~"

The low-frequency roar was incredibly sharp and carried a hint of anger.

The vortex stopped spinning.

"Aure, the quantity is wrong."

A sound came from within, and after the silt settled, a pitch-black creature was revealed to be crawling on the bottom of the lake.

Xiao Weiqing looked closely and saw a huge serpentine creature in front of him, nearly a thousand feet long, with a single horn on its forehead and two yellow vertical pupils clearly visible at the bottom of the lake.

"This is... a celestial beast?"

Xiao Weiqing never expected that there would be a strange star beast on Black Spring Star.

Star Beasts are a type of special life form in the universe. Most Star Beasts live alone and are rare. There are also many, but they cannot compare to the numbers of large races such as humans and demons. Even the number of mechanical races is much greater than that of Star Beasts.

The alien beasts of the stars are also synonymous with power, acting without any scruples.

"Xiao Weiqing, you Starry Sky Ink Python at the Sovereign Realm, retreat immediately!"

Leibo was dumbfounded.

He never expected that the mastermind behind Black Spring Star was actually a Starry Sky Black Python at the Sovereign Realm.

"Aurie, what do you mean by this?"

Starry Sky Ink Python ignored Xiao Weiqing and Leibo. In his eyes, although Leibo was quite strong, he was still just food for him.

"These two were an accident."

Ori said that he really didn't know what the situation was between the two of them.

"The person has been delivered; give me the Black Spring Crystal."

The Starry Sky Black Python snorted coldly, "Fifteen people next time!" Then it swept its tail, and ten black, glowing crystals flew towards the black-robed Ori.

Ori caught it and moved quickly toward the lake.

"Xiao Weiqing, what are you standing there for? Let's go!"

Leibo panicked.

Xiao Weiqing stared at the Starry Sky Black Python and said, "Go after Ori, don't let him get away, otherwise even if the mission is completed, it will probably affect the evaluation."

"Seriously? You're still thinking about the mission?"

"You're going to take down this huge thing?"

Leibo exclaimed in horror.

Xiao Weiqing glared at Leibo and transmitted his voice:

"Am I supposed to waste another month with you?"

"Hurry up, Ori ran away! See if I don't beat you up!"

I accepted an S-rank mission but couldn't complete it; who knows what the consequences might be?

"Alright, then be careful. Remember, never fight to the death. If you can't win, run away."

Leibo gave the instructions, then unleashed his source power and chased after Aurie.

"Um?"

The Starry Sky Black Python was enraged that the two humans in front of it were trying to run away.

Its incredibly thick tail swept towards Leibo.

Leibo sensed danger behind him, but disregarded it, trusting Xiao Weiqing.

Click~ Click~ Click~ Click~~

Four crisp sounds rang out in succession as the device that imprisoned Xiao Weiqing's source power snapped.

At the same time, the Moon's Edge appeared in his hand.

"cut!"

A blade of energy cleaved out from the bottom of the lake, intercepting the tail of the Starry Sky Black Python. The energy struck the tail, sending sparks flying.

This action undoubtedly further enraged the starry black python.

"Human, I didn't expect you to have some strength, but that's no reason for you to provoke me."
