Chapter 249: Surrounded by Monsters
The monsters in the distance just surrounded them from a distance. Although they looked at them eagerly, they did not dare to move forward rashly. The monsters of various shapes formed a frightening encirclement not far away. Their bodies were either as huge as a mountain or as agile as the wind, but at this moment they all hesitated to move forward.
Those pairs of eyes full of desire and greed were staring at Shen Yun, Lin Ruyi and the corpse of the Wave Devourer on the water. Their eyes seemed to be burning with a blazing fire of desire, and they wanted to rush forward and take the precious prey for themselves. But their steps seemed to be bound by invisible shackles. Every time they wanted to move forward, they seemed to be dragged back by a mysterious force.
First, the Wave Devouring Beast, which had just died, was still emitting a strong aura, which was a powerful aura unique to a half-step third-level monster. This aura was like a towering mountain, weighing heavily on the hearts of every monster. The aura contained endless majesty and power, as if announcing its dominance in life to the surroundings.
For the low-level monsters, this level of suppression was like an insurmountable chasm. It was an unbridgeable gap that made them dare not even think of overstepping their bounds. The majesty of the Devouring Wave Beast seemed to still remain in this space, making them feel awe and fear. Every trace of the remaining breath was like a heavy hammer, hitting their fragile hearts hard, making them tremble in fear under this powerful pressure.
Secondly, because he had just killed the Wave Devouring Beast, Shen Yun was still emitting a strong murderous aura. The murderous aura was like a substance, forming a layer of cold aura around him. His eyes were as sharp as a knife, his face was as cold as ice, and although his clothes were a little damaged after the baptism of battle, they added a bit of murderous aura. This murderous aura seemed to be a cold wind from hell, making those monsters who were ready to move feel the biting cold and the threat of death. Shen Yun was like an inviolable god of war, which made the monsters stay away and dare not make any rash moves.
Once a demon beast reaches a certain level, it will develop intelligence, and it can sense danger and weigh the pros and cons. At this moment, they clearly know that although the corpse of the Devouring Wave Beast exudes an extremely tempting fragrance, it is a temptation that contains powerful power and abundant energy, but the person in front of them is really not easy to mess with.
They looked at Shen Yun and Lin Ruyi with deep fear in their eyes. They knew that if they went forward easily, they would most likely follow the fate of the Wave Devouring Beast. The Wave Devouring Beast's powerful strength of half a step to the third level was also considered the top existence in this area of water, but now it fell here.
Even a powerful beast like the Half-Step Third Stage had to suffer here. It was not that they were self-deprecating. Compared with the Wave Devourer, they were nothing but rotten fish and shrimp. They knew that there was a huge gap between their own strength and that of the Wave Devourer. The huge gap made them dare not have the slightest delusion.
But as more and more blood of the Devouring Waves continued to spread, the strong smell of blood filled the air. This bloody smell was like an invisible key, slowly opening the cage of desire in their hearts. The greed that was originally suppressed by reason and fear began to break free from the shackles little by little. Their breathing became more and more rapid, and the desire in their eyes became more and more difficult to suppress. Reason and impulse continued to clash in their hearts.
The demon beasts were like a group of hungry men who suddenly saw a pile of extremely rich delicacies in front of them. The corpse of the Wave Devouring Beast and its constantly spreading blood were the most tempting existence in the world for them.
Their breathing began to become rapid, and the heavy breaths rose and fell like the howling of a strong wind. The desire in their eyes became stronger and stronger, and it was an almost crazy obsession, as if everything of this wave-devouring beast was their only hope for survival.
They devoured the river water mixed with a trace of the blood of the Wave Devourer frantically, recklessly, making gurgling sounds in their throats. Some monsters even fought each other to compete for the spot with a little more blood, waving their sharp claws in the air and colliding with their sharp teeth, splashing sparks.
Their eyes even began to turn slightly red, and the remaining trace of reason and fear were gradually devoured by desire. At this moment, they had only one thought in their minds, which was to obtain as much energy as possible from the Wave Devourer. They forgot the majesty of the Wave Devourer when it was alive, the murderous aura emanating from Shen Yun, the suppression of their level and the possible threat of death. Desire was like a raging fire, burning their minds to ashes, leaving only the most primitive and crazy instincts.
The corpse of the Wave Devourer is a rare and precious tonic for all the water monsters. The powerful strength and pure energy contained in it are treasures that these monsters can hardly reach on a normal day.
If a late-stage second-order demon beast is lucky enough to swallow the demon pill of the Wave Devourer, then soon, this area of water will once again give birth to a half-step third-order demon beast. That demon pill is like a key to the highest realm, which can open the door to unprecedented power. Imagine a demon beast that was originally struggling in the late-stage second-order. The moment it obtains the demon pill, the spiritual power in its body surges like a surging river, its meridians are widened and strengthened, its qualifications are qualitatively sublimated, and its strength advances by leaps and bounds, becoming an existence that other demon beasts fear.
Even if the demon pill is gone, if they can devour the essence of the flesh and blood of the Devouring Wave Beast and then settle for a few years, there is a certain probability that the late-stage second-level demon beast will step into the realm of half-step third-level. Every inch of the flesh and blood of the Devouring Wave Beast is full of refined spiritual power and mysterious law power. When these flesh and blood are swallowed and digested by the late-stage second-level demon beast, its tendons and bones will be reshaped, the upper limit of talent will be broken, and the bottleneck of cultivation will gradually loosen. A few years of settling is enough for them to integrate this power and touch a higher level of realm.
Even if they cannot successfully advance to the third level, they will definitely advance to the peak of the second level. This means that their status in this area of water will be greatly improved, they will have more resources and territory, and they will no longer be afraid of other weak opponents.
Such a huge temptation in front of them made these monsters more and more restless. Their inner desires were constantly expanding, and the impulses that were originally suppressed by fear and reason were like a volcano about to erupt, about to break through the shackles of fear. They stared at the corpse of the Wave Devourer and moved forward involuntarily. Although there was a strong threat ahead, they could not care less at this moment driven by desire.
