Chapter 2148: Stand Still
Translator: EndlessFantasy Translation Editor: EndlessFantasy Translation
“Roar!” Chaos made its displeasure clear.
Gu Xijiu finally found out the source of the animal howling. It was from this beast! Although the volume was different, the pitch was more or less the same.
Before she realized it, the beast finally revealed itself from the constraint of the red fog. It jumped right out and landed on the ground. Gu Xijiu then realized that the beast had eight pairs of eyes, all hidden under its wings.
The colors were different in all of its eyes. There was red, black, golden yellow, and brownish grey. Every pair of eyes shone brightly under the light, even glistening like the charm of a gem. The look in its eyes, however, was rather ruthless.
All eight pairs of eyes were on Gu Xijiu. The terrifying sight sent a cold chill down her spine. Frozen, she stood still. Unable to move her hands and legs at all, she felt as if she had been tied down.
Despite her encounter with many different beasts in the Shura World, this was her first time seeing such a brutal one. Terrified, she wanted to teleport to safety with Di Fuyi.
“If you do not wish to see everyone die, stand still!” Di Fuyi spoke to her in a hoa.r.s.e voice. He raised his arm and circled Gu Xijiu in a protective layer. “Wait here patiently.”
Gu Xijiu remained quiet.
The following events were indeed soul-stirring. Struck with fright, she crossed her fingers anxiously. The moment Di Fuyi put Gu Xijiu to safety was the moment Chaos started attacking. It took a great leap towards him after making a loud cry.
In the blink of an eye, the beast was already in very close proximity. Its great strength had shattered all the big rocks around into piles of dust. Driven by immense anxiety, Gu Xijiu could not help but break out in cold sweats.
If she were free to move around, the first thing she would do was to teleport, along with Di Fuyi, to safety. However, her teleportation failed in the protective layer. Therefore, she could only watch helplessly as the beast approached.
A huge mouth appeared somewhere below its ribs, big enough to swallow every object around it. Within it, sharp teeth lined its upper and lower jaws. Every tooth was as sharp as a sword.
Gu Xijiu and Di Fuyi looked like two helpless squirrels standing next to a giant elephant. They were physically not on the same level.
“Run!” Gu Xijiu screamed out loud in the circle. She could barely suppress her anxiety,
The protective layer could shelter her from the torment of its sharp teeth, but it would not be the same for Di Fuyi, who was not properly secured. Once bitten, he would instantly become a snack.
Chaos was blowing gales of a hurricane as it approached. Meanwhile, Di Fuyi’s robes danced violently in the strong wind. Despite the impending danger, Di Fuyi continued to stand his ground. He ignored Gu Xijiu’s appeal completely. Thus, she had to witness as Chaos went into a rampage and attacked like it had a strong grudge against them.
Gu Xijiu was stuck in the protective layer with nowhere to run. She could only watch, as its mouth came closer and closer to her.
“Crack!” Gu Xijiu heard a teeth-gritting sound. The loud screech was uncomfortable in her ears.
Gu Xijiu held her fists so tightly in discomfort. However, she looked up and saw something unbelievable. Di Fuyi stood in front of her with his lute in his hand.
