Chapter 510: Chapter 510: Between Life and Death! (4 updates)

"Ah! Demons! It’s a Fifth-rank Demon Beast! Family Head, save me... save..."

The piercing scream abruptly ceased, as if it had the power of penetration, making everyone feel as if they had plunged into an icy cellar.

A Fifth-rank Demon Beast was equivalent to a human at the Divine Origin Realm level. Not to mention those at the Origin Transformation Realm, even the average early-stage Divine Origin Realm experts would not wish to provoke them lightly.

You see, among their team, the strongest, Wang Tianlin, was at most eighty percent into the Origin Transformation Realm.

At this moment, everyone was stunned—Fifth-rank Demon Beasts were synonymous with death!

Despite all their precautions, who would’ve thought that on the very last night before they were about to leave the Endless Forest, they would encounter such a catastrophe?

Everyone was dumbstruck on the spot, as if they had been struck by a big iron hammer on the forehead, their minds a blank slate.

It was only when the pungent smell of blood drifted over that the people awoke from their shock, plunging into a state of total panic.

"Fifth... Fifth-rank Demon, Fa... Family Head, what do we do!"

All faces were pale, bodies trembling, shaking uncontrollably.

"We’re done for; there’s no way we can defeat a Fifth-rank Demon Beast!"

"Run for it! Scatter and run; there might still be a sliver of hope!"

"..."

Everyone was thrown into chaos, screaming and panicking like homeless dogs facing the threat of death, utterly disorganized.

Wang Tianlin looked at his men falling into chaos, and his heart turned cold by half. A Fifth-rank Demon Beast was terrifyingly powerful—they were all not enough for the beast to kill with a single slap!

The smell of blood was getting closer, which also meant that the Demon Beast had arrived!

"Don’t run, don’t panic! Everyone, group together, let’s join forces to attack the demon; there might still be a sliver of hope!"

Wang Tianlin roared, trying to maintain some order, but his followers were already scared out of their wits and paid no heed to his words, each fleeing desperately.

"Alas!" Wang Tianlin’s eyes flashed with utter despair, he looked back at Ling Feng, but saw that Ling Feng was calm and composed, seeming to not take the situation to heart.

Clenching his teeth, Wang Tianlin shouted at Ling Feng, "Xiao Feng, I know you’re no ordinary person. If this old man is unfortunate enough to be devoured by the Demon, please... take Caiwei out with you. If you fancy her, have her be your maid or slave, anything. She’s my only daughter, I beg you!"

Ling Feng smiled but did not commit to an answer. His gaze swept around, beginning to search for the demon.

Under the "Unlimited Vision," no movement of wind or grass could escape his eyes!

After observing with "Unlimited Vision" for a while, Ling Feng felt somewhat puzzled because, although he sensed a powerful presence, he could not find any trace of the Demon Beast.

Suddenly, Ling Feng felt the ground was trembling ever so slightly. The shaking was almost negligible, but under "Unlimited Vision," Ling Feng could clearly see it.

"Turns out it can burrow underground."

Ling Feng touched his chin, a slight curve on his lips, for he clearly sensed the Demon Beast tunneling towards Wang Caiwei and Bu Chen.

At this moment, Bu Chen was forcibly keeping himself calm, his hand on Wang Caiwei’s shoulder. If you looked closely, you could see that Bu Chen’s legs were shaking, and if not for leaning on Wang Caiwei’s shoulder, he might have collapsed.

The guy who was boasting just now was as frightened as a dead dog, even worse off than Wang Caiwei!

"Cai... Caiwei, don’t be afraid, I... I will protect you."

Bu Chen spoke reassuring words, but he was practically hiding behind Wang Caiwei, nowhere near the appearance of someone trying to protect her.

"Brother Chen, why do I feel like you’re even more scared than I am?" Although Wang Caiwei was blinded by love, she wasn’t stupid. With their bodies close together at this moment, she could clearly feel the man who kept saying he would protect her with his life, trembling!

Suddenly, Wang Caiwei caught a glimpse of something out of the corner of her eye behind Bu Chen—a massive beast’s paw, with sharp claws like knives, burst forth from the ground.

"Brother Chen, behind you!" Wang Caiwei screamed in alarm.

Her shout immediately drew everyone’s attention; they saw the ground behind Bu Chen splitting open, with soil flying everywhere.

A huge Golden Pangolin burst out from the earth, its body covered in scales that glittered with dazzling gold light, its eyes flashing with strange Blood Light. With a tongue darting in and out and an aura of demon energy emanating from it, the sight was enough to make one’s scalp explode.

This Golden Pangolin likely had a trace of Earth Dragon Bloodline, which allowed it to ascend to the Fifth-rank, with a strength comparable to that of the Early Stage of the Divine Origin Realm—truly a nightmare for Wang Tianlin’s trading caravan.

"Ah!"

Seeing the Golden Pangolin so close, Wang Caiwei screamed in terror, grabbing Bu Chen’s sleeve, and said in utter panic, "Brother Chen, quickly drive it away, Caiwei is so frightened!"

Bu Chen was even closer to the demon beast, and the strong stench from its mouth caused his vision to darken—he almost passed out.

The Golden Pangolin let out a low growl, and a wind laced with its saliva swept over him, covering Bu Chen’s face with the drool. His fear reached its peak, and, forgetting any pretenses he may have had, he grabbed Wang Caiwei and pushed her towards the Golden Pangolin, then turned tail and ran in disgrace.

"Bu Chen, you bastard!"

Not far away, Wang Tianlin saw his daughter being pushed towards the demon beast by Bu Chen and roared immediately, charging forward like a madman, desperate to save his daughter’s life.

"How could this happen!"

Wang Caiwei felt her mind go blank as her body inched closer to the demon’s gaping Blood Bowl Mouth—closer and closer!

Was this the man she loved?

Was this the man who vowed to protect her with his life?

How laughable!

Truly laughable!

Wang Caiwei’s eyes gradually moistened, and as two streams of tears slid down her cheeks, she regretted not listening to her father’s advice. She regretted being so blinded as to trust such a man.

The Golden Pangolin’s tongue whipped out, coiling around Wang Caiwei’s delicate body, and its mouth opened wide, ready to devour her in one gulp.

"Am I about to die?" Wang Caiwei closed her eyes slightly, awaiting death’s arrival.

But, strangely enough, the anticipated pain never came. Instead, she seemed to be caught in a strong, powerful embrace, accompanied by a strong smell of blood—blood sprayed all over her face.

"Blood?" Wang Caiwei’s mind was blank: Is this my blood? Why doesn’t it hurt?

Wang Caiwei opened her eyes, and there before her was the same ferocious demon beast, except its tongue seemed to be severed, cleanly cut at the root.

And she was in the arms of a man whose embrace was so strong, warm, and comfortable that she felt an overwhelming sense of safety.

Wang Caiwei looked up, taking a closer look at the person holding her, and in that moment, she was stunned.

It was him!

The Little Beggar!

Ling Feng!

"How could it be him?" Wang Caiwei’s heart was in chaos. She had thought of herself as a lofty princess, and Ling Feng as nothing but a toad by the roadside. Yet, at the critical moment, was she really saved by a "toad" she had scorned?

Ling Feng’s mouth was curved in a slight arc as he coldly fixed his gaze on Wang Caiwei, "What, you’re surprised you’re not dead?"

Wang Caiwei foolishly nodded, her eyes unblinking and fixed on Ling Feng’s face, as if she wanted to see right through this man before her.
