Fiancée Stolen by MC, I Trip Them up-Chapter 296 - 198: Otherworldly Creature Invasion!
Returning to familiar grounds.
Looking at the eerie Black Stele Forest, the protagonist felt a wave of emotions.
The first time he came here, he was trapped in the Black Stele Forest, haunted by wails from the labyrinth, scared out of his wits.
Later on, Linglong appeared and effortlessly broke all the formations.
The protagonist thought he had someone to rely on, but it turned out there were thorns on that support.
Real thorns!
If Su Qianqian hadn’t suddenly appeared, the protagonist would have perished on those thorns.
Standing on the outskirts of the Black Stele Forest, the protagonist’s eyes were complicated.
Su Qianqian, despite all her faults and a very extreme and twisted personality,
had indeed helped him.
If it hadn’t been for Su Qianqian, the protagonist would have nearly fallen several times.
Yao Qing, carrying Yao Su, arrived at the Black Stele Forest. Seeing Linglong standing on the outskirts looking inside, he carefully put Yao Su down and asked curiously, "Miss Linglong, where is the portal you mentioned?"
Hearing this, the protagonist also turned back to look at Linglong.
Linglong pointed casually inside the Black Stele Forest and said, "This forest of steles is the portal connecting to the Otherworld. Just place someone inside, and the portal will quickly open."
Monument Forest?
Looking at the endless stretch of black tombstones before him, the protagonist’s face showed a hint of curiosity.
The protagonist had previously thought this Black Stele Forest was strange, but had not considered it might be a portal to the Otherworld.
Now, hearing Linglong mention it, many doubts in the protagonist’s heart were suddenly resolved.
The first time the protagonist came to the Taotie’s Divine Hall, he felt that this Black Stele Forest did not fit with the atmosphere of the hall.
Taotie is merely a fierce beast, not sadistic.
It wouldn’t whimsically place a bunch of tombstones at the entrance of its hall.
Upon hearing Linglong’s words, Yao Qing told Yao Su to "be careful," then gently placed Yao Su’s body inside the Black Stele Forest.
Suddenly, something unexpected occurred!
As Yao Su and Su Qianqian curiously examined their surroundings, a terrifying will suddenly erupted from Yao Su’s body, shooting skyward.
Linglong had guessed right.
The Sage of Time had indeed left a contingency on Yao Su.
And the trigger for this contingency was Yao Su’s body entering the Monument Forest.
"Hahaha."
The will of the Sage of Time suppressed both Su Qianqian and Yao Su.
Both eyes once again became profound and wise.
"It’s not easy! After hundreds of thousands of years, I can finally sense the aura outside the Cultivation World."
After saying this, the Sage of Time twisted his stiff neck, then rolled his eyes and noticed the protagonist standing outside the Black Stele Forest, quickly realizing what had happened.
With a mild ’hmm’ of surprise, he looked curiously at the protagonist and asked, "Why are you standing so far away? You don’t seem surprised at all, did you know I would awaken in this Monument Forest? If you knew, why did you still send me in?"
Hearing this, Linglong chuckled beside him and said, "Because we need to lure your people in here to kill them!"
After Linglong spoke, she told the protagonist, "Prepare for battle."
"This guy dares to set up a contingency despite knowing you have the power of a Tier Ten Void Realm, which indicates that the Otherworld creatures appearing through the portal will definitely possess power beyond Tier Ten Void Realm."
"We can’t count on anyone else; it’s all up to you!"
"By the way, save one alive for me to take back to report to the Crown Prince, and I want half of the spoils!"
After hearing this, the protagonist shook his head and said, "Half is too much, only three-tenths at most."
"Deal!" Linglong agreed readily.
The protagonist felt somewhat frustrated at once.
He should’ve bargained for less.
If he had known, he would have offered Linglong only one-tenth.
The Sage of Time noticed neither the protagonist nor Linglong took him seriously, making him even more curious: "Even if the creatures coming through this portal aren’t too powerful, they are beyond what your cultivation world can handle. Aren’t you afraid of death?"
As he finished speaking, a fluctuation came from the void above the Monument Forest.
The protagonist exchanged a glance with Linglong, who pulled Yao Qing and quickly retreated outside the Monument Forest.
The protagonist stood still, curiously watching the spot in the void where the fluctuation appeared, waiting for the descent of the Otherworld creatures.
Having never seen any creatures from the Otherworld, his heart was filled with curiosity.
In the next moment, five lizardmen, each one towering a full ten feet with sharp claws and teeth, stepped out from the void.
Leading the lizardmen was one whose scales were a golden hue, holding a golden three-blade flying knife resembling a boomerang in one hand, and a Golden Shield engraved with a lizard pattern in the other.
Behind the golden lizardman were two Silver Lizardmen, whose only difference was their scale color, and they wielded silver knives and shields.
The last two were White Lizardmen with scales akin to icy armor, emitting a chilling aura. Their knives and shields appeared to be made of ice.
The Lizard Warriors were tall, at least ten feet, and when they stood together, they entirely overshadowed the protagonist, creating a significant oppressive presence.
"What on earth are these?" The protagonist was greatly amazed.
The lizardmen’s intelligence was apparently not that high.
They glanced around, failing to locate the Sage of Time.
Then, they seemingly decided to stop searching.
"Kill!"
The golden lizardman seemed to be the leader.
Upon seeing the protagonist standing still, it naturally locked onto him.
Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!
The lizardmen team coordinated seamlessly.
With one command from the golden lizardman, five golden, silver, and icy boomerang blades hailed down upon the protagonist, effectively blocking all his vital points.
"Tier Nine Saint King Realm?"
Seeing that the casually appearing lizardmen were all of Tier Nine Saint King Realm cultivation, the protagonist’s brows furrowed.
In the Cultivation Realm, Tier Nine Saint King Realm cultivators were already top-level great cultivators.
But in the Otherworld,
these lizardmen seemed like mere cannon fodder.
Saint King Realm at Tier Nine being used as cannon fodder.
Could the Otherworld’s strength really surpass the Cultivation World by such a magnitude?
Thinking of this, a bright light shone behind the protagonist, and he raised his palm, swatting away the five incoming boomerang blades effortlessly.
The golden glow from his palm momentum didn’t diminish, landing on the golden lizard squad, instantly smashing them, causing them to spit out green blood, on the verge of death.
"The Buddha is truly a genius!"
The Sage of Time, sitting on the ground and watching the protagonist destroy the lizard squad with a single palm, wasn’t tense at all; instead, he had the leisure to admire the protagonist’s cultivation technique.
The Sage of Time praised, "The Buddha’s wisdom, even in the Three Thousand Small Worlds, ranks among the top one hundred of the sages I’ve seen. Hundreds of thousands of years later, witnessing his cultivation technique still leaves a deep impression as it did back then!"
The protagonist raised an eyebrow, just about to inquire about the Buddha’s past.
Suddenly, his expression changed.
Rapidly looking up, he saw the void above the Monument Forest violently shake.
Clearly, the next entity to emerge far surpassed the golden lizard squad in power.
"Roar!"
A gigantic mammoth leg, as thick as a tree trunk and needing two people to wrap their arms around it, descended from the void toward the protagonist.
The protagonist’s expression changed dramatically.
The colossal force from that one stomp emanated a violent gale even before making contact.
If the mammoth’s foot landed solidly, the protagonist would suffer grievously, if not fatally.
"A Tier Ten Void Realm mammoth?"
ps: Finally recovering, we’ll return to three updates a day starting tomorrow. Brothers, be sure to wear masks when going out, absolutely don’t fall ill—this wave has been unbearably painful.
