Chapter 245: Void Beast
Shi An’an looked at Second Brother with eyes full of adoration, “Second Brother, you’re too amazing!”
Shi Anyu listened to his younger sister’s praise, joy flashing in his eyes, but the moment he saw the eyesore, his mood instantly soured.
“Second Brother.” Xiu called out in a low voice.
Shi Anyu glanced at Xiu and tossed the instrument in his hand to him.
Xiu caught it with one hand, “lowering his head to study the instrument in his hand.”
Shi Anyu glanced at Xiu, “Be careful, don’t randomly press the button on it.”
“Okay.”
Shi An’an saw that Second Brother had finally acknowledged Xiu, and she breathed a sigh of relief.
There was no way around it; ever since her family found out she had accepted Xiu’s pursuit, they took turns giving her ideological education every day.
Every day they listed all the ways Xiu was no good and how unsuitable they were together…
Thinking of those messages, Shi An’an felt somewhat helpless.
In the end, it was only after she strongly demanded they stop discussing the topic, threatening to go to the Empire and not come back, that they stopped.
That day, Shi An’an, Xiu, and Shi Anyu were fully prepared, and the three arrived above the Abyss, ready to descend.
Shi An’an took out the vine and tightly bound the three of them together.
Shi Anyu was in the middle of the two, just in case.
“Second Brother, when we go down in a bit, no matter what happens, you have to protect yourself, find a place to hide, got it?”
Shi An’an instructed Second Brother once more.
Shi Anyu nodded, “Okay, don’t worry, An’an.”
Shi An’an and Xiu exchanged a glance, Xiu nodded, and the three decisively jumped into the Abyss.
The moment they jumped into the Abyss, Shi An’an used spiritual power to tightly wrap around the three of them, preventing the poison gas from corroding them.
They didn’t know how long they fell, but it was pitch black here when suddenly the three felt a wave of dizziness.
The next second, the three landed steadily.
“Roar!”
The moment they landed, they heard the roar of a star beast from deep in the cave.
The three exchanged glances: had it discovered they were here?
Suddenly, the ground shook, and they could feel a massive star beast charging toward them.
Shi An’an and the other two immediately found good positions and prepared to fight.
Shi Anyu found a concealed position, took out his weapon, and prepared to zap one at a time!
The massive star beast appeared before their eyes, and before it could reach them, Shi Anyu launched an attack.
The huge lightning struck the star beast instantly, catching it off guard, and it crashed to the ground with a boom.
Shi An’an and Xiu looked speechlessly at the fallen star beast, then at Shi Anyu, who was full of pride.
The two felt a sense of frustration that they didn’t even need to make a move.
Then countless more star beasts came running, and Shi An’an and Xiu stayed in place, watching as Second Brother zapped one star beast after another.
Those star beasts crashed to the ground one after another.
Xiu’s eyes burned with eagerness as he looked at the weapon in Shi Anyu’s hand, saying in a low voice to Shi An’an, “If your Second Brother had researched this weapon earlier, the star beasts on Edge Star would pose no threat at all.”
Shi An’an shook her head, “Second Brother didn’t know these star beasts’ weaknesses before; it was only after seeing the situation during my tribulation that he thought of it.”
Xiu nodded in understanding, “When we get back, have Second Brother research more; the Empire needs them too.”
“You discuss it with Second Brother then.”
“Sure!”
While the two were talking, Shi Anyu had already dealt with all the star beasts; he hadn’t killed any directly, just stunned them with electricity.
Because his younger sister had instructed earlier that these star beasts might be good-natured, to investigate further first.
The three stepped over the group of fallen star beasts and walked deeper into the cave, where they saw a group of small star beasts huddled together trembling, warily watching them.
Shi Anyu saw these mini small star beasts and was stunned for a moment.
“These are the small star beasts that drove Brother Lin to not want kids?” Shi Anyu pointed at the small star beasts and asked.
Hearing Second Brother’s words, Shi An’an instantly recalled the scene of Brother Lin being driven mad by the small star beasts.
Holding back her laughter, she nodded, “Yes.”
Shi Anyu curiously walked closer to study these small star beasts.
“Cheep cheep!”
“Aowu!”
Seeing the humans approach, the small star beasts cried out repeatedly, but their calls held no intimidation at all; instead, they were utterly adorable.
A smile appeared on Shi Anyu’s face as he reached out and grabbed one small star beast, looking at the unusually docile one in his hand and laughing, “Isn’t this pretty well-behaved?”
Amusement flashed in Xiu’s eyes, “That’s because you zapped their parents, leaving them without any backing, so they’re behaving.”
Shi An’an covered her mouth laughing and nodded, “Indeed, these little guys are pretty smart!”
“Roar!”
While the three were chatting and laughing, a massive roar came from the depths, the huge pressure making it hard for the three to breathe.
Xiu immediately took out the disc to shield the three of them, and only then did they breathe a sigh of relief and recover.
“Let’s go meet this guy!” Shi Anyu strode forward fearlessly.
“Second Brother, slow down!” Shi An’an looked at Second Brother’s fearless demeanor, somewhat speechless, and hurried to catch up.
The three walked into the cave, and after a good while, they saw a massive star beast currently nestled in a cave, its eyes fixed intently on them.
“You… have finally come…”
The void beast looked at the three and said slowly.
Shi Anyu’s eyes suddenly widened; even he, who was always calm, was startled to discover that the star beast could speak human language.
Shi An’an had lived in the Cultivation World before, where spiritual beasts and demonic beasts would speak human words once they reached a certain cultivation level, even transforming into human form.
Xiu had seen that person’s memories and knew about this.
So the two remained calm.
Shi Anyu looked at the two and saw they were extremely calm; he admired his younger sister and this guy’s composure, quickly suppressing his shock and regaining his calm.
“Your cultivation level has regressed.”
Shi An’an could tell at a glance that this void beast’s cultivation level was much lower than the last time she came.
The void beast glared at Shi An’an, feeling stifled inside.
“You used lightning tribulation to attack me; I was already severely injured!
Not to mention…”
Its gaze slowly turned to Xiu, sensing that person’s aura on him.
“You killed that person?”
Xiu looked at it coldly, “Yes.”
Hearing the confirmed answer, pleasure and hatred flashed in the void beast’s eyes.
Shi An’an and Xiu exchanged a glance, unsure what was going on with this void beast.
“Well killed!”
Suddenly, the void beast spoke up.
Next, it slowly recounted its experiences.
“I shuttled over from another space-time and arrived in this world when I was still very small.
The world I was born in was on the verge of collapse, and my parents used all their strength to create a black hole for me to escape…”
Recalling its childhood, tears glistened in the void beast’s eyes.
“After arriving in this world, I found it full of cold aura everywhere, nothing like the place I was born.
I thought I’d stay here, and once I had enough strength, I’d go home to see if my home was still there, if my parents were still alive…”
