Chapter 69: Arrival of an Ancient God

With just that light stomp, imbued with boundless ferocious power, it was as if a meteor struck the Earth, instantly causing the small cabin in the woods to collapse, the earth to quake violently, and the whole mountain to tremble.

Outside the cabin, Curt and the others were still clueless when they were suddenly startled by this terrible commotion; they couldn't help but shake and had to support each other, but they eventually fell into the snow.

With fearful eyes, everyone saw that The Cabin In The Woods collapsed before them, a blast wave sweeping debris and dust in all directions.

Even the RV parked not far away was damaged; the windows were shattered, and both the front lights and the exterior were smashed.

The group screamed, covering their faces with their hands, struggling to see what had happened.

A myriad of unanswered questions arose in their minds.

Who exactly was this mysterious Asian named John Shaw? Why did he travel all the way from New York to Ohio just because of their blog? Who was that woman? And who caused the scene before them?

These questions tormented everyone, but amidst the fear and horror, it also sparked excitement among the young students.

It was as if a detective who loved seeking the truth had encountered an almost flawless murder scene.

The violent trembling gradually calmed, the dust settled, and the blast wave subsided. The students, still shaken, looked forward under the moonlight and gasped, for the cabin in the woods had completely disappeared. Not only that, but a huge crater had formed in its place, emitting an ominous red glow.

Most crucially, the Asian boy and the mysterious woman were floating quietly mid-air, looking down as if observing something.

"Wow... can he actually fly?" Curt exclaimed excitedly in a whisper.

"Curt..."

Holden looked incredulously at Curt, surprised by his friend's reaction.

But the other two girls were just as thrilled, their eyes full of excitement.

For two teenage girls, a yellow-skinned, Asian, flying man who had found them through a blog and destroyed the cabin with some force, all added an aura of mystery under the moonlight. The floating, upright figure was like a black hole, endlessly attracting their restless hearts.

"Guys, I have a bad feeling about this; we must have encountered some kind of mysterious event," said Holden, the knowledgeable one, quickly piecing together what Shaw had cryptically said about luck and specifically finding them, coupled with the current events.

"I think we need to leave immediately."

"Holden is right, Curt, we need to leave; it's too dangerous here," said an earnest Marty, also visibly uneasy.

Curt glanced at his friends, then at the godlike John Shaw floating above, and the eerie glow emanating from the deep pit, and he nodded decisively. It was not the time to court death.

Curiosity aside, they only had one life to live.

Thus, the group immediately gathered their belongings, boarded the RV, and Curt hit the gas to reverse, preparing to leave the place.

Bi Xiao glanced at the RV, its windshield shattered, as it drove away. These students were not foolish, at least not like the typical protagonists in horror stories.

Below, Bi Xiao saw a not-so-large altar surrounded by five stones with different human-like figures carved on them, matching the images he had envisioned.

At the altar, a group of followers watched as Bi Xiao placed his hand on Sara's shoulder.

A surge of magic energy flowed into Sara's body, reversing her age as the lines and wrinkles on her face disappeared, rejuvenating her.

However, Sara soon felt immense pain, as if her body could not withstand the torrential energy, yet she said nothing, enduring silently.

Bi Xiao did not care whether she could bear it or not; as long as she could recite the spell, that was all that mattered.

After infusing a small portion of the magic power, his body floated away, and Sara, controlled by his mind, began to recite the summoning spell from memory.

"Great Ancient God, Sargeras, I, your faithful follower, beseech your descent, your great radiance to spread across the world, the earth trembles because of you."

The long spell echoed from Sara's mouth, reverberating across the mountains, even reaching Curt and his friends driving away.

The spell-like voice incessantly echoed in their ears.

Driving the RV, Curt suddenly hit the brakes, his face contorted in pain, and the other students felt the same.

Thankfully, the spell did not last long—about a minute—but that minute felt like a day to them, the pain nearly driving them to the brink of collapse.

But the bad news was, although the sound of the spell had stopped and the pain had disappeared, they all felt an inexplicable fear stemming from their souls, abrupt and indistinct.

This fear caused them to sweat coldly.

Boom!

Suddenly, a thunderous explosion shook the earth, and the surrounding mountains trembled violently, causing rocks to fall.

Luckily, their location was relatively safe, on flat ground.

But not far ahead was a cliff, and under these circumstances, its peril was clear.

"Damn it," Curt punched the steering wheel in frustration.

Amid the intense shaking, Curt and his friends panicked, and from behind, a terrifying roar came.

The shaking intensified, and they couldn't help but look back through the rear window.

They could vaguely see in the distant sky, under the moonlight, a giant arm enshrouded in magma.

"Oh my god," their eyes were blank.

What was that thing? What had they encountered?

Why was this happening?

They wondered, but someone was excited.

Floating in mid-air, Bi Xiao looked at the giant arm emerging from under the cabin, wrapped in magma, as the temperature began to rise and the snow on the ground started to melt, flowing towards lower altitudes.

The vicious, tyrannical, and bloodthirsty aura enveloped the earth.

He watched as the giant hand swept down, smashing the so-called faithful follower Sara to the ground.

Boom!

The earth trembled, and a devastating blast wave swept across, breaking all the trees nearby, and the ground around the giant hand cracked densely.

Grabbing the ground, a terrifying and tall figure slowly emerged from beneath the earth, pushing up the soil and gradually standing upright.

Bi Xiao, initially looking down, now looked up.

This was a creature about three hundred meters tall, ugly with a fierce head, sharp teeth in its wide mouth, and a humanoid body covered in scales, with sharp spines on its shoulders and back, and blood-red eyes exuding brutality.

It roared towards the sky.

The explosive roar lifted the sound waves, clearing the clouds in the sky, and the entire mountain range trembled as this giant creature emerged, waking many hibernating animals, which fled in terror.

Under the moonlight, the giant black silhouette reflected in Bi Xiao's eyes and those of Curt and his friends on the distant road.

Their faces filled with fear.

"What is that thing? A Demon?"

"Oh my god, this is madness, drive Curt, we need to get out of here," Jules trembled, urging Curt to drive away, wanting to escape this cursed place, even if it meant possibly driving over a cliff.

She felt like she was going to die here.

"No, we can't drive now; the entire mountain is shaking, and that cliff road is too long. If we encounter a landslide on the road, we're definitely doomed," Marty, with curly hair, immediately spoke up, being the only one with enough sense in the situation.

He knew going back would surely be fatal.

"Marty's right, we can't go back, the mountain's structure is too fragile, it could disintegrate, we must stay calm," Holden, regaining control over his fear, agreed.

"Look, what's that?"

Suddenly, Jules ran to the back of the vehicle, shouting through the rear window.

The others immediately followed to look, and they saw in front of the terrifying black giant, a burst of golden light, gentle and dazzling like the sun, illuminating the night sky.

The golden ripples rolled and covered the earth.

This also illuminated the night sky, allowing the five to clearly see the giant's ugly and fierce appearance.

"Is that Shaw?"

Curt picked up binoculars and looked over, surprised.

There, the golden flowing magic around Bi Xiao rippled as a breeze blew, he unzipped his down jacket, took it off, revealing a black shirt underneath, wearing jeans and sneakers, under the night sky, he seemed like a prince under the moonlight.

The wind swayed the down jacket in his hand.

Facing the towering giant, Bi Xiao slightly tilted his head up, his eyes full of satisfaction.

"What a big monster."

Such a size, many times more oppressive than the Blood God, was enough to prove the value of this Ancient Old God.

Another fruitful day.

Bi Xiao was confident; from the first glance at this Ancient Old God's arrival, he knew the other was strong, but still a step behind him.

"Human, who are you?"

"I don't feel the aura of another world from you."

Bi Xiao stared at the Ancient Old God Sargeras, and Sargeras also noticed Bi Xiao, who was a bright source of light no one could ignore, most importantly, He felt threatened, unexpectedly sensing danger from a mere human.

This was incredible for Sargeras.

He came from the ancient times, and had seen some ancient humans with great power who fought against the gods, called heroes.

But after countless years, the gods either died or left, and those ancient human heroes also died.

Rarely did strong beings emerge on Earth.

But unexpectedly, He was summoned and met a human strong enough to confuse him.

Moreover, Sargeras always felt something odd about this human, very strange, so much that He couldn't pinpoint where this discomfort came from.

So He was curious.

Facing the Giant Ancient Old God Sargeras's curiosity, Bi Xiao whistled.

"I'm not interested in answering your questions, now, let's play a game."

"A game called Life and Death."

Boom!

An explosive burst of energy erupted, and Bi Xiao's figure instantly disappeared, the spot he had been standing in exploded into a circular air ring, and his entire being, like a sword cutting through the air, rushed towards the Ancient God Sargeras's giant head.

The latter, true to the name of an Ancient Old God, reacted extremely swiftly against the approaching Bi Xiao.

Raising a hand into a fist, like a mountain, he struck towards Bi Xiao.

In a moment, two fists of completely different sizes collided.

Time seemed to freeze at that moment, but it was only for a second, the next second, from the center of the two fists, terrifying energy burst forth, rolling like thunder, the entire mountain range suddenly cracked, centered around the feet of the Ancient God.

A natural disaster descended, the energy waves from the collision between the Ancient Old God and Bi Xiao swept like a flood.
