Below the Abyss

Roar!

Shree!

The Yinglong stepped into the void with its huge body and appeared behind the huge Trident Owl.

In that instant, the Trident Owl, without even looking, attacked the Yinglong. Sharp, spikes of metal and earth were released from its back, which pierced the Yinglong's silver scales.

Roar!

The Yinglong cried out in pain. Large spikes were piercing its body, as blood dripped through its wounds.

Before it could suffer even more damage, it teleported away from the Trident Owl, which had become much stronger than before.

Not only did it become stronger and larger, but its appearance also changed. It's beak that was pointing forward, now looked like a mask that was part of its face, rather than a beak.

The beak was flat, while the trident-like prongs, now ran from its mouth, and over its head! It looked like a crown, rather than a beak.

Its body was larger in size, the armor-like plates were now completely gone. Its entire body was pitch black and looked extremely smooth and silky like conditioned hair.

Kawww!!!!

The Trident Owl kawed as the heaven and earth shook. It's scream reverberated, shaking the ground. Some large boulders nearby exploded like dynamite when it did so.

Seeing this, Ye Qin and Wang Tao no longer sat down on the boulder, instead, they stood up with serious expressions on their faces.

Even without checking its stats, Ye Qin knew that even if all eight monsters worked together, the chances of beating it were slim.

[Monster: Crowned Black Wing]

[Level: 55]

[Grade: Epic]

[Type: Beast (Bird)]

[Element: Metal, Earth, and King]

[Additional Info: The true form of the Trident Owl that had used its previous evolution as a disguise. It is an extremely rare and dangerous monster and the only currently recorded monster with the King element. With it's King element, it is able to cancel out oppressive aura's of the strongest bloodlines to a certain extent. Its ability to control allies is like no other.]

[Caution: Extreme Danger - It is recommended that the host flee immediately]

"F*ck, fatty we gotta run!" Ye Qin swore.

Wang Tao smacked his lips as he agreed.

The eight monsters knew what their masters were thinking and sent out an attack that used all of their remaining energy, before attempting to escape.

Boom!

The Crowned Black Wing was hit by their strongest attacks. The seven dragons and Blackgold Python Tiger flew as fast as they could to escape. The Qiulong no longer had energy to use its time ability.

The Yinglong could only use its ability to transport the two brothers away, rather than its fellow comrades.

The Yinglong roared as it made Ye Qin and Wang Tao teleport far off into the distance before the eight monsters transformed into beams of light and returned into the Monster Sea.

Whoosh!

Ye Qin and Wang Tao sprinted away with all their might. Even this far away, the monsters were scared and didn't appear, so the two brothers could run without being attacked.

Even as they sprinted, they didn't slow down at all.

Whoosh!

The Crowned Black Wing in the distance appeared unharmed from the all-out attacks from the eight monsters.

It turned its body in Ye Qin and Wang Tao's direction, as its figure disappeared from its previous spot as though it had teleported.

Whoosh!

It's figure appeared above Ye Qin and Wang Tao in an instant. Even though the Yinglong used its remaining power to transport them kilometers away, the Crowned Black Wing still caught up in an instant due to its overwhelming speed.

Ye Qin and Wang Tao who was running below, saw a huge shadow above them as they ran. The Crowned Black Wing became a looming shadow of death above them as it stared at the two humans running for their lives.

The Crowned Black Wing waved its wing, which created a huge wind blade that was over 100 meters in length.

Boom!

When it hit the ground, it appeared as though nothing happened. Due to the wind pressure, the two brothers were stopped in their tracks and couldn't continue running until the pressure went away.

Seeing that nothing happened, they were about to start running again.

The ground beneath them was starting to split open, like a sword cutting a boulder. Seeing the ground beneath them split, Wang Tao who was slower than Ye Qin didn't attempt to run.

Ye Qin who was running noticed this and turned around.

"Fatty! What the f*ck are you doing!?" Ye Qin screamed.

"Thanks for all you've done. I hope we can be friends in the next life." Wang Tao said.

The ground that was split open just happened to be the small distance where Ye Qin and Wang Tao were separated.

Those few meters tore them apart.

The huge chasm made it impossible for them to reach each other. The ground Ye Qin stood was rising up, while the ground that Wang Tao stepped was on crumbling.

"FATTTY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!" Ye Qin screamed at the top of his lungs. His knees dropped to the ground as his arm reached out and screamed. His eyes were incredibly red as he stared down the deep endless abyss below him.

******

Drip! Drip!

Scrub! Scrub!

The sound of dripping water could be heard. The water dripped onto the ground, creating a small pool of water after a long time.

Drip! Drip!

Lying below a dark cliff surrounded by raindrops and dirt, a young man could be seen. The young man was fat while some blood could be seen on his clothes.

Water dripped onto his face, causing his face to contort.

After a few more drops, he showed a reaction.

"Wah! Boss!"

Looking around, the fat young man couldn't see much. There was barely any light where he was sitting down while his body was surrounded by a pool of water.

Looking up towards the only source of light, he could see the sky above him with his keen vision.

"The hell, I fell from so far up and I'm still alright?"

The young man moved his body and got up as he realized that he didn't suffer any damage.

"Strange, how come I don't have any injuries? I hope boss is okay, did that damn bird disappear? Or did it chase him?"

"Let's explore my location, for now, it doesn't look like I can go up the cliff, I won't fit through the gap, how the hell did I get down here in the first place with such a tiny gap? Even a baby won't fit through the gap unless they were still a fetus!"

Tapping his smartwatch, the young man checked to see if it was still working. As he pressed it, his information popped up in front of him.

[Owner: Wang Tao]

[Age: 19]

"Seems like it's working fine, well let's walk around, my partner should have recovered by now. I wonder how long it's been since then?"

As he wondered that, Wang Tao summoned the Blackgold Python Tiger from within his Monster Sea.

The Blackgold Python Tiger rubbed its head against his body before letting him ride it as the two started exploring the dark surroundings.

After going around for a bit, he realized that he was in a small pit hole. It was only a dozen or so meters in diameter making him trapped down where he was.

He jumped off the Blackgold Python Tiger and started looking around using the light from his smartwatch.

He explored every inch of his surroundings and stopped when he saw a slightly strange crack in the wall.

"This crack, it looks unnatural."

He came closer and touched the crack in the wall. When he did, he realized that the wall he was touching was extremely soft!

He moved his entire arm as it went through the crack. He pushed aside the wall with all his strength revealing a cave before him.

Crossing through the deep cave that wasn't lit at all and provided him with no light, Wang Tao used heightened his senses to the extreme listening carefully for any movements or even the slightest of sounds as he passed by.

Beside the footsteps of the Blackgold Python Tiger, he could hear the sound of dripping liquid from the ceiling.

After heading straight through for over ten minutes, the sound of water stopped. On the plus side, he noticed a tiny speck of light hundreds of meters away from him.

"Let's go, buddy."

He patted the Blackgold Python Tiger's head as the two of them headed for the source of light in front of them.

Dashing through the cave, they arrived within seconds, the source of light was getting larger by the second. When they reached for the light, Wang Tao was blinded and shielded his eyes from the light.

After a few seconds, his eyes had adjusted to the light. Looking around, he noticed the room was no longer a cave, but seemed more like some sort of altar.

Jumping off his partner, he explored the entire room filled with large scratch marks on the walls as well as drawings drawn with an unknown substance on the walls.

The drawings seemed to tell a story.

A story of humans kneeling before a large tiger with giant wings.

"Hmm, if this story is true then... This altar was created by humans eons ago to worship this giant tiger..."

"Hang on, if that tiger is still alive then that means!!!"

As he thought that, Wang Tao turned to look at the giant altar that was over fifty meters tall. It looked more like a fortress rather than an altar with its humungous size.

"After facing a strong foe, I barely survived and somehow my wounds all healed on their own. If I were to provoke the big kitty then wouldn't I be asking for death?"

"What do you think? Should we enter or not? It's dangerous but it might be our only way out."

"Roar! Roar!"

The Blackgold Python Tiger roared as it nodded its head.

"Okay then, let's go!"

Wang Tao jumped back onto its back as the pair flew into the large altar that seemed to be endless with no door in.

As he passed by, a strange 'whoosh' sound was heard.

"Huh, so there was a door then?"

As he thought that, the two of them headed inside to face the unknown danger, that was also their only way back out.
