Chapter 3410 Loss

Chen Xin's eyes widened, "What? An abyssal creature with the strength of a Title Douluo, how is that possible!"

Gu Rong naturally knew the former wouldn't easily believe it, so he spoke again, "This is what I've seen with my own eyes, could there be any falsehood in that?"

"The situation was urgent at the time, if not for joining forces with Yueguan and successfully killing one or two abyssal creatures, I'm afraid we all would've died at those creatures' hands!"

Seeing the former speaking in a very serious tone, completely devoid of jest, Chen Xin couldn't help but swallow, "How could this be, although you are a bit weaker than me, you are still a Hyper Douluo, yet you nearly died at the hands of those abyssal creatures."

As an old friend, the former naturally knew his true strength!

Upon hearing this, Gu Rong's brows furrowed slightly, "Old fool, what do you mean I'm slightly weaker than you? If you were alone against those abyssal creatures, you would have met the same dead end!"

"Their physical strength is worlds apart from soul beasts', if we must make a comparison, they should be equivalent to hundred-thousand-year soul beasts!"

Chen Xin immediately became anxious and retorted, "Cut it out, if it were me, none of those abyssal creatures would get away!"

At a time like this, it would be too shameful to admit such a thing!

After all, he enjoyed renown throughout the entire Soul Land!

Gu Rong didn't argue back but mocked instead, "Hmph, it's just a pity we couldn't bring back the corpses of those abyssal creatures. Otherwise, you would realize how ridiculous your words are!"

Since those abyssal creatures were slaughtered within the bounds of Martial Soul City, the Pope Hall would naturally deal with them!

Ning Fengzhi, with his arms crossed and a heavy expression, said, "Uncle Bone, I believe what you said. If these abyssal creatures all have the strength of Title Douluo, then it's very possible for them to pose a significant threat to the entire human world!"

"Furthermore, combining the information Bibi Dong has told us, I'm afraid they only bear hostility towards humans!"

Chen Xin curled his lip and reminded, "But they are only comparable to Title Douluo, do we really need to make such a fuss? There are hundreds, if not dozens, of Title Douluo and Hyper Douluo combined throughout the Continent!"

"All of these abyssal creatures put together couldn't possibly be a match!"

Ning Fengzhi knew he couldn't persuade the former to take this matter seriously, so he added, "Uncle Sword, there's one thing Uncle Bone didn't mention just now!"

Curious, Chen Xin immediately pressed for an answer, "What is it?"

Ning Fengzhi took a deep breath and sighed, "It's about the growth rate of these abyssal creatures!"

"An abyssal creature with no wisdom can reach the level comparable to a Title Douluo in just a few months!"

"Now, do you still think they can be dealt with casually?"

Chen Xin's eyes widened, his thoughts shaken for the first time...

"This... this can't be possible, if they really had such a growth rate, the human world would have already been conquered!"

There was no change in Ning Fengzhi's expression, "This is what Pope Bibi Dong of Martial Soul Hall said in person. Judging by her demeanor, it's unlikely to be false!"

"As for conquering the human world that you mentioned, Uncle Sword, I suspect that intelligent abyssal creatures have only emerged during this period!"

"And this sentient abyssal creature, through some means, has enabled the other abyssal creatures to also gain wisdom!"

Chen Xin was stunned for a moment, then pondered, "Hmm... your hypothesis makes sense, Feng Zhi, but there's no way to confirm the facts!"

"If they have had wisdom all along and have been quietly growing their numbers, that would be the most terrifying thing!"

If that were the case, the number of abyssal creatures would have reached an extremely terrifying amount!

The very thought makes one's scalp tingle!

Gu Rong then expressed his concerns, "No matter what, we need to be prepared. Since these abyssal creatures grow by devouring flesh and blood essence, being part of the upper three families, we're likely to be targeted first!"

Ning Fengzhi affirmed this, "Yes, that's probably why these abyssal creatures appeared in Martial Soul City. As it's the place where Pope Bibi Dong resides, there must be many strong Soul Masters guarding it, which must be a huge temptation for them!"

"We really need to be prepared. During this time, we should increase the number of disciples guarding the sect and have them rotate more frequently."

While they were talking, a disciple from the Seven Treasures Glaze Sect walked in...

He said respectfully, "Sect Master, Sword Douluo, Bone Douluo, I apologize for interrupting your discussion, but I have important news to report!"

Ning Fengzhi looked at him and asked, "What news?"

He didn't pursue the matter of the disciple entering without permission, as long as the message was significant enough!

Chen Xin and Gu Rong also showed puzzled expressions...

The disciple answered truthfully, "This is the situation. We just received a message from the Hao Tian Clan and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect!"

"They have decided to cancel the assassination plan against Xu Sheng!"

Chen Xin was surprised, "Cancel… the assassination plan? Could it be, that before this message arrived, they were truly planning to make a move against Xu Sheng?"

Gu Rong took a sharp breath, "Hiss... these guys are really ruthless. But why did they give up in the end? It's not their style to do so. Surely they're not scared of the Martial Soul Hall, right?"

Ning Fengzhi shook his head, denying it, "Impossible, the Hao Tian Clan and the Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect are much more rigid in their stance against the Martial Soul Hall compared to our Seven Treasures Glaze Sect, they would never be scared!"

"There must be some other reason!"

Seeing this, the disciple in front also didn't expect that the former would guess the rough idea...

He immediately agreed, "Yes, Sect Master Ning, just as you just said, the Hao Tian Clan and Blue Electric Overlord Dragon Sect have recently been attacked by unknown creatures!"

"As a result, the number of missing disciples has reached a terrifying several thousand!"

Before Ning Fengzhi could speak, Gu Rong and Chen Xin stood up sharply...

Their eyes filled with disbelief, "Lost thousands of people? Good gracious, even for the upper three families, this is a huge blow, isn't it?"

However, Ning Fengzhi caught the key point, narrowing his eyes, "Wait... you just said unknown creatures? Are you saying they weren't attacked by Soul Masters?"

The disciple confirmed, "That's right, according to the other two great sects, the attackers were not Soul Masters, but some kind of creature!"

Upon hearing this, Ning Fengzhi looked towards Chen Xin and Gu Rong...

The next second, they all said the same thing...

"Abyssal creatures!"

Ning Fengzhi said with a wry smile, "We just talked about how these abyssal creatures might target us next, and I didn't expect it to come true so soon!"

"It really is ominous to speak of such things!"

It seems that these abyssal creatures truly harbor great hostility towards humans!
