Chapter 289: Small-sized Demonic Beasts
There were corpses of Atlantean disciples everywhere. Looking at their miserable state, it didn’t seem like they had been killed by normal warriors.
His face was solemn. After inspecting the mine once, he set his eyes on the corpses of the Atlantean disciples once again.
When he got closer, he discovered that most of the corpses had been injured by sharp claws, and their insides had been completely dug out.
When he saw this scene, his expression instantly darkened. He quickened his pace and began to inspect the Crimson Flame Stone mine.
This was also his first time entering the Crimson Flame Stone mine. As he went deeper and deeper, in a short while, he felt a chill.
He suddenly saw a huge figure appear in the place where the Crimson Flame Stone was collected.
From afar, that thing did not look like a warrior at all. Instead, it looked more like a monster.
After staring at that monster, he did not stop for even a moment and directly retreated. This was because he realized that the cultivation of that monster was not something he could deal with.
After he retreated, he looked at the Atlantean disciples in a sorry state. He said to them in a cold voice, “We did not expect such a thing to happen in the mine this time. You can rest well for the next few days. You don’t have to go into the mine anymore.”
After he said this, he did not give the Atlantean disciples any time to react. He immediately released his cultivation and leaped up, disappearing in front of the Atlantean disciples.
When Clayton appeared in the sky above the Crimson Flame Stone mine, he wasn’t in a hurry to leave. Instead, he once again stared at the Crimson Flame Stone mine and sized it up.
He knew that there must be other warriors here beside him. When he had just arrived, he felt that there were eyes staring at him from behind.
However, he did not show it on his face. After all, the enemy was in the dark, and he was in the light. If he was not careful, he might be killed.
On the other side, after Annie followed Andrew out, he said to her without turning his head.
“In the next few days, I will arrange a large number of people to protect your safety. Also, if you go out, you must have Lancelot follow you.”
Looking at his grave expression, Annie also nodded at him seriously.
He then released his cultivation. In an instant, he flew into the air and disappeared.
He could not stay here any longer. The matter at the Crimson Flame Stone mine had not been settled. If he stayed here, it would not be easy for him to handle anything that happened there.
Although the Atlantean disciples were all enslaved by him, without them, the mining of the Crimson Flame Stone would still be a huge problem.
When he arrived at the Crimson Flame Stone mine, he saw Clayton, who was hovering in the air with a solemn expression.
When Clayton saw his figure, he hurriedly flew towards him.
“Just now, I found a monster with high cultivation. Moreover, many of these Atlantean disciples have already died under its sharp claws.”
Andrew was shocked. He was clearly here just now. Why didn’t he notice that there was another monster?
However, now was not the time to think so much. He instantly rushed into the Crimson Flame Stone mine. Clayton hurriedly followed behind him.
After he rushed into the mine, he saw the corpses of the Atlantean disciples lying on the ground. He did not discover the demon beast at all, though. His face showed a trace of doubt.
Clayton also had a puzzled expression. Just now, he had clearly seen the figure of a demon beast here. How could it disappear without a trace in the blink of an eye?
After the two of them investigated for a while, Clayton said, “That monster was clearly here just now. How could it just vanish without a trace?”
Andrew did not pay attention to it. Instead, he released his cultivation once again and began to explore the mine. In a short while, he set his eyes on a deep pit.
Just now, he could clearly feel that there was a wave of power here. However, just as he was about to walk over to feel that power, it disappeared.
This also made him more sure that Clayton was not lying. He quickened his pace and walked towards the deep pit.
When he got closer, he found that there was a pile of unrefined Crimson Flame Stones on the ground.
Next to those Crimson Flame Stones, there was actually a small demonic beast that was crazily devouring the energy within the stones.
When he saw this demonic beast, his expression darkened. He pulled out his Dustless Sword.
However, what puzzled him was that how could such a small demonic beast kill those Atlantean disciples outside.
Although the Atlantean disciples were enslaved here by him, they were also warriors. How could they be killed by such a small monster?
While he was still staring at the monster with a solemn expression, the monster had finished absorbing the power of the last Crimson Flame Stone.
When he saw his figure, it took a couple of steps back and let out a childish roar.
Andrew revealed a trace of doubt on his face. He asked Clayton, who was standing behind him.
“You just said that it was a large monster. With the strength of this little thing, it’s simply not a match for those Atlantean disciples outside.”
Clayton was also perplexed. Then, he shook his head repeatedly at him.
“How is this possible? I just saw a large monster and its sharp claws...”
He stopped midway, looked forward with a serious expression, and changed his tone.
“Hurry... Quickly dodge.”
Seeing his anxious look, Andrew felt doubtful.
