Chapter 1348: She Found Its Nest

Lin Qiao turned back and knitted her brows with confusion. She should be over ten miles away from Red already. Despite her great hearing, she couldn’t possibly hear the cat through such a long distance, unless the other was following her.

She glanced back again, not feeling that. She could faintly sense that Red’s vibe was still staying where it was before. She thought for a moment and then turned back to keep moving forward. The further she went, the more frequently she sensed a chilliness from her spine. Her instinct was trying to tell her that she couldn’t go further near that dangerous being.

She walked to a flat and empty area with no plants at all. The ground was covered in black rock and soil, seeming boundless. The condensed energy in the air in that area was extra thick, closer to the ground than other areas. But weirdly, there were no energy swirls reaching from the air to the ground. The energy layer up in the air was very quiet.

Lin Qiao sensed a special scent once she arrived in that area. The scent clearly told her that the area did not allow invasion, and that any intruder would be destroyed. Let alone the flat area itself, no scents of other creatures could be sensed from even the surrounding area.

Lin Qiao stood on a tree that was located near the distinct edge of that area. She knew that she had arrived at her destination.

The vibe coming from the area was the same as what had been making her feel uneasy, meaning that the danger which she had been sensing was coming from that very area, also meaning that the level-nine creature was already awake. It was no longer in sleep.

Nothing could be seen in the area, but because of the dangerous vibe, it had become a mysterious and terrifying forbidden area.

Lin Qiao took a deep breath before leaping forward and entering that area. She was in her invisible state, so she could only run with her feet. She could still use her superpower, but by doing that, she would be releasing her vibe and end up catching the mysterious creature’s attention.

She was running but not slow. As a level-eight zombie, her physical strength was, of course, considerably great. She ran like a gust of wind, so fast that commoners wouldn’t even be able to catch her with their eyes. Her feet made very slight noise against the ground, so despite how quiet the area was, her footsteps still couldn’t be heard.

From the edge of that area, she wasn’t able to see the boundary. Judging by that, she figured the area was at least twenty miles squared. However, as she spent a while following that scent forward, she found that she was probably wrong. The area might be larger than she expected.

It was vast; Lin Qiao spent half an hour running but still didn’t see any boundary. Her current running speed was higher than three-hundred miles per hour, and she had covered at least a hundred miles so far. She had no idea where the boundary was.

The level-nine creature occupied such an extensive territory; clearly, it was a tremendous one.

Following the strong scent, Lin Qiao moved closer and closer to the pit. There was absolutely nothing around her; if she didn’t have a very keen sense of direction, she might get lost in there.

As she wondered how far away she was from the creature’s nest, she saw a huge pit in the distance. By the time she was miles away from the pit, she suddenly sensed the scent stronger a hundred times over.

It was there!

Lin Qiao was sure about that. She immediately slowed down and walked to the edge of the pit step by step before looking down into it.

There was no water in the pit. The pit was about two-hundred meters deep, and the bottom was rugged. The strong smells that came from it made Lin Qiao cover her nose. Apart from the scent of the creature, a rotten odor was also sensed. She had no idea what kind of creature it was. The center of the pit was clean, but the bones of all kinds of creatures were piled by the edge. The ones on top were still fresh while the ones in the middle layers were rotten already. The terrible smell of those rotten bones could even kill people!

Lin Qiao observed those bones and found them to be huge. Some head bones were over ten meters wide, and the rib bones were all thick, varying from three to six meters in diameter.

The level-nine creature seemed to have a great appetite! Judging from the energy lingering in those bones, none of those dead animals was below level-seven.

If the creature had such a big appetite, why did it send so many underground creatures up to the earth’s surface? Wasn’t it afraid that it might starve to death? Were the level-eight ones which stayed underground the stored food of that level-nine creature instead of its subordinates?

With that thought, Lin Qiao glanced back and turned to look around the pit. After that, she lowered her head to look at the center of the pit and started thinking.

During her journey underground, she had sensed not only some level-eight creatures but also quite some level-seven ones, not including the ones who had their vibes hidden. The level-seven ones could be detected more easily. The ones which were sent to the earth’s surface were mostly below level-seven. Only a small number of them were at level-seven. Why were most of the level-seven ones allowed to stay underground?

With the question, Lin Qiao observed the barren land and then cast a glance backward. She wasn’t able to see those underground woods anymore.

She couldn’t figure it out on her own, so she decided to go into her space and run a discussion with the others. With that thought, she immediately disappeared by the edge of the pit.

As she showed up, the others all looked at her quietly without saying a word.

Lin Qiao gave them a glance and found that Yuan Tianxing had joined them too. He was sitting on an armchair, leaning against its back.

“I found the level-nine creature’s nest. It’s hiding in a pit. I think it’s resting, but not in a deep sleep. As far as I’ve seen, its territory is vast, with no plants, animals, or even stones… nothing. The ground is dark rock and soil, very flat! However, there’s a pit in the middle, about five miles wide and two-hundred meters deep. It’s hiding in there. Beast bones are piled up by the edge of the bottom of the pit, almost forming a circle. I think it has a huge appetite! I’ve detected quite some level-eight and level-seven creatures on my way there, but not many level five and six ones, apart from those fishes in the river.”

Lin Qiao sat down on a sofa as she talked to the others in the living room about what she had found on the outside.

“So, why do you think it drove so many low-leveled underground creatures, that could also be its food, up to the earth’s surface?”
