Chapter 978: The Nightmare Beast
A burnt smell and a miserable scream came from further in the cave. Yun Chujiu saw a monster covered in black fur that was chained by six huge chains. Yun Chujiu took out the Illuminating Pearl and lit it up, she then realized that it was an extremely ferocious-looking monster. It had four eyes, and they had vertical pupils that looked like reptile eyes.
The monster laughed strangely. “So it’s a little kid with Heavenly Thunder Root Spirit. I haven’t met anyone with a heavenly root spirit for so many years. I didn’t expect one to come to me voluntarily today! I’m afraid I want to see how different someone with a heavenly spirit root is from an ordinary person!”
“You can speak human language? What strange ‘thing’ exactly are you?” Yun Chujiu blinked her eyes and asked curiously.
“So rude! I am not a strange ‘thing’! You are the strange thing!” The monster roared.
“Good! Good! You and your whole family are not strange things!” Yun Chujiu said with a smile. Then she jumped in front of Feng Ming and the others and kicked them out of the cave one by one.
After the monster found out what Yun Chujiu’s had done, its four eyes showed a disdainful look. “Little girl, your little tricks are useless against me. Do you know what I am?”
“What are you?”
“I am the Nightmare Beast. Those three people have already entered the dream that I created. Things will only end one way for them, and that is death. Gahahaha!” The Nightmare Beast let out a strange laugh.
“Nightmare Beast? A Dream? Then why don’t I just wake them up?” Yun Chujiu asked in an innocent expression.
“Pft! If it was that easy to wake them up, I wouldn’t be called a Nightmare Beast Anymore!”The Nightmare Beast said proudly.
Yun Chujiu’s eyes flashed with a hint of seriousness. “Hm, the best way to wake them up is to kill you. As long as you die, they will wake up themselves.”
“Gahahaha! Gahahaha!” The Nightmare Beast kept laughing strangely as if he had heard something funny, he said, “Little girl, you are really stupid! I was born from the greed of humans. I am immortal. Otherwise, why do you think they only trapped me here and didn’t kill me? Because they tried and couldn’t!”
“They couldn’t kill you? Then why did you scream when I struck you with Heavenly Lightning?” Yun Chujiu felt that the Nightmare Beast must be bluffing. There was no such thing as an immortal in this world.
“Humph! Although I can’t die, my senses are still there. The heavenly lightning is extremely strong, and it can indeed cause some damage to me. However, despite the pain, it won’t threaten my life.”
Yun Chujiu thought to herself that this Nightmare Beast was really stupid. It unwittingly answered all the questions she wanted to ask. How would she know that the Nightmare Beast had been trapped here for tens of thousands of years? It was not easy for it to find someone who could talk, so it naturally wanted to brag. Moreover, it thought that Yun Chujiu would not be able to escape from its palm, so it did not bother to raise its guard against her at all.
Yun Chujiu rolled her eyes. “Nightmare Beast, if you let us go, I’ll give you a hundred demonic beasts. You can take turns to let them have fun in their dreams.”
The Nightmare Beast curled its lips in disdain. “What’s the point of torturing Demonic Beasts?! Other than eating, it only knows how to mate! Only torturing people is interesting. People’s dreams are colorful, they are far more interesting!”
Yun Chujiu thought to herself, ‘You’re a f*cking s.a.d.i.s.t, the people who are tormented by you will exhaust their spiritual sense and die!’
“If you don’t let them go, I’ll use lightning to strike you. Although I can’t kill you, I’ll make you suffer!” Yun Chujiu raised her hand and threw several purple lightning bolts at the Nightmare Beast..
