The scene changed after Li Qiye and the two girls infiltrated the cliff. They could finally walk on the ground again.
This place was vast with a pristine and rich life force. This place has never been touched before by men, filled with a green color.
âSuch a strange aura.â Wu Bingning said.
âHow so?â Ximoâs cultivation was far inferior so she couldnât feel anything strange.
âA rotten smell.â Bingning frowned: âItâs hard to say. This is akin to a lotus flower in full bloom, but the earth beneath it buried a corpse. Yes, this aura is full of life, but it also masks the degeneration.â
âReally?â Ximo started sniffing around and eventually blushed: âMy, my cultivation is too weak, I canât sense anything.â
Li Qiye chuckled: âSheâs right, two contrasting forces exist here. Beneath this majestic life force is an inconcealable air of decay.â
âPeople have died here?â Ximo inquired.
âCertainly, and not just people. A lot have died, more than one can count.â Li Qiye smiled.
Ximo was naturally frightened by this revelation.
âCoinbeasts too, so many lives were buried here.â
âWhat the hell is this place?â Bingning continued sensing the peculiarities of the area unlike Ximo but she couldnât quite put her finger on it.
âWith death comes life.â Li Qiye said: âFor you, this is death, but for other existences, it is a new life. Your corpse can serve as fertilizer for something else.â
Bingning shuddered with a terrible premonition.
âLooks like coming here isnât a good thing then.â She smiled wryly.
âThereâs nothing nice about redeeming grounds.â Li Qiye shook his head: âSo magical with plenty of rules, are they created by nature? Are all of these rules formed by heaven? Did Bewildering and Coinbeast come out of nowhere?â
The two girls began to contemplate. When it came to Moneyfall, people wanted treasures or fortunes. Not many actually cared or researched about this issue. They took its existence for granted.
These locations must have been built by someone - the girls thought. The next question became - who and why?
âHave you never thought about where all the coins go after falling on the ground? The amount is unfathomable.â Li Qiye chuckled.
The two girls couldnât answer at all. Bingning couldnât help but ask: âDo you know?â
He stared at the horizon before plainly answer: âTo where they should. After all, a few living things are different from your imagination, theyâre quite unique.â
The answer was too vague and only further confused the girls. Nevertheless, they stopped prying.
âWhere are we heading to now?â Bingning asked.
âIt will take us to our desired location. The stronger, the farther it can go, and the greater the opportunity.â Li Qiye tapped on the beast.
It didnât make any sound and continued forward, one step at a time. This scary speed could cross through ten thousand miles in the blink of an eye. It seemed to know the destination so there was no hesitation.
In the beginning, there were other beasts around this area but this swift creature overtook all of them.
This land was vast to an incalculable level. All the beasts also diverged after entering, seemingly have their own goal. They traveled in a straight line without pausing, no time to think or select.
âWhere are we going?â The cultivators could only ride along, unaware of what lies ahead.
âOnly heaven knows.â The ancestors didnât know either and had no particular objective.
âSo all of this is Coinbeast City?â People thought that they would be entering a massive citadel instead.
âForget it, letâs get off here.â An expert with several friends jumped down from their mount.
This beast didnât care about them and only rushed forward on the same path.
âLetâs look around, maybe we can find some eggs or dao bones here.â One of them said.
âBoom!â Suddenly, mud and soil flinged everywhere; the ground beneath them started to crack.
A massive skeleton came out of the ground, perhaps one of a giant tiger. Its form back when it was alive remained unknown, only the general shape is clear.
âWhat the hell is that?â The reanimated skeleton frightened the group.
âRaa!â It actually issued a tiger-like roar and bared its white teeth at the group.
âAh!â They were eaten by the skeleton before they could react. âCrakk.â Their bones were pulverized.
Blood flowed down the entire skeletal frame, painting each bone red. The thing seemed to have regained some life force. No, the opposite - its death energy grew denser as if it had just consumed something nutritious.
âRaa!â It roared again and started chasing after the closest beasts with cultivators on top.
It didnât take long before it successfully caught and ate some preys - both beasts and men.
âOh god!â The cultivators nearby were scared out of their mind.
âBoom!â It wasnât until a powerful coinbeast appeared and stomped the skeleton into smithereens did the horrifying hunt stops.
âWhat the hell was that?â People were still frightened.
This was their first time seeing a reanimated skeleton, and a flesh-eating one at that. Could there be spirits still buried down there?
