Violet materialized from the Illusion Bead and pulled out the celestial energy ginseng. She got it in her hand.
"Damn! A fox took away the celestial energy ginseng!"
A warrior cried out in surprise as he saw the precious ginseng missing.
All warriors stopped the fight simultaneously. They looked at Violet who was in the center, still holding the celestial energy ginseng. A sudden deathly stillness arrested the place and no one dared even exhale.
A demonic beast!
In the Grand Desolation Mountain range, the warriors fought with demonic and diabolic beasts every day. They knew everything there was to know about them. Just by the breath, they could tell which beast it was. So of course, they all knew what she was as soon as they saw Violet for the first time.
Seeing a demonic beast among them wasn't a shock at all. They were now within the mountain range of the Grand Desolation Mountain where most demonic and diabolic beasts lived.
Till yesterday, rumor had it that the celestial energy ginseng was guarded by a level-four red blood magical python.
But since they came to this valley, most warriors hadn't seen a shadow of either beast.
So naturally they took it as a rumor and soon forgot all about it.
But now suddenly with a demonic fox popping out, everyone was stupefied. Wasn't it a level four red blood magical python that guarded the celestial energy ginseng? How come what they saw was a level three demonic fox? It seemed that someone had spread wrong information.
The strength of the level three demonic fox resembled the Earth Realm's power at its preliminary stage in the human world. She hadn't materialized until everyone was engaged in fighting. She fished in troubled waters and took away the celestial energy ginseng. Going by the legends, foxes were tricky in nature. And this one was no different.
After a short moment of silence, all the warriors regained composure and started fighting to the best of their abilities.
"Kill this demonic fox!"
Seeing that everyone had locked on Violet as their target, Austin was worried. There were so many warriors. The chances to escape for Violet looked slim.
Probably, he had been too rash with his plan. Among those warriors, at least twenty of them were at the Earth Realm. The strength of Violet, in comparison, was equivalent to the Earth Realm's power at its preliminary stage. Clearly, she was no match for them. The difference in the strength between the two parties looked undefeatable.
"Violet, use the illusion! Ready to run! Remember, give up the celestial energy ginseng when necessary. Your life is most important!"
Austin passed the message to Violet through his mind power.
Seeing herself surrounded by a horde of strong enemies, Violet felt cornered. She was under great pressure. She held the Illusion Bead tightly in her hand, which was continuously emitting purple energy giving strength to Violet's body.
In the next moment, Violet was about to use her best skill — illusion.
The skies were filled with a rumbling sound as
the earth shook with great force.
Crackle. Thunder. Boom...
Loud cracking sounds echoed all around them and soon gave way to a loud thunderous crash. With their hearts and minds jolted, the warriors looked down and found the ground beneath their feet vibrating violently and cracking open like an egg. Like a sinewy spider web there were lines everywhere as the earth tore apart itself.
Austin frowned in consternation. This wasn't meant to be.
Violet was startled too. She sensed a great danger rushing out from the earth. She immediately stopped her illusion.
"My god. The ground is cracking... ..."
