Chapter 284: A Mouthful of Poison Milk

“Little brother, are you alright?”

“We didn’t mean to frighten you. Seeing you so young, your cultivation shouldn’t be that high.”

“The desolate Forbidden Area seems to have some strange creatures, not very suitable for you. If it doesn’t work out, you can still leave first and come back later.”

“That’s right. If us old brothers really jinx it and a Beast King appears, I’m afraid you won’t even be able to escape.”

As the saying goes, saving a life is better than building a seven-story pagoda.

Seeing Nie Chen’s somewhat strange expression, the middle-aged cultivators hurriedly tried to persuade him.

“Of course, I’m fine.”

However, contrary to their expectations, the young man in front of them wasn’t scared away.

Nie Chen slowly patted the shoulder of the leading middle-aged cultivator, his face full of excitement:

“Thank you, brother. This desolate Forbidden Area, I’m staying.”

“Huh?”

The middle-aged cultivators were all dumbfounded.

Suddenly, they felt that this young and handsome lad, could it be… that he had a problem with his head?

They had seen cultivators who risked their lives for opportunities, but this behavior was clearly courting death!

“Forget it, forget it. If you want to leave, then leave quickly.”

“If you’re really scared, just stay by our side. Maybe if something really happens, we can lend a hand and save you.”

The leading middle-aged cultivator sighed and waved his hand, as if he didn’t want to pay attention to Nie Chen.

Inside the vast Forbidden Area, sand and dust swept across. Apart from a distant exit, everything in sight was desert and dust. They couldn’t see any other people, nor any other cultivators who had entered the desolate area.

The group turned around, ignoring Nie Chen, and walked straight towards the depths.

As they walked, someone started to say to the leading middle-aged cultivator with lingering fear:

“Old Wang, you said we shouldn’t be so unlucky as to encounter a Beast King at the Transforming Sea Realm, right?”

“Probably not.”

Although Old Wang also seemed a little scared, he still shook his head:

“Although this Secret Realm feels a bit strange, a Beast King of the Transforming Sea Realm is a demon beast of what status and strength.”

“This is the safest, lowest-level Forbidden Area. How could a Beast King happen to come here?”

“Just follow me with peace of mind. How could we be so unlucky as to encounter danger?”

“After I’ve collected some low-level magical treasures and spirit grass in this Forbidden Area, I’m going to prepare to go back to my hometown and get married.”

“Tsk~, why does that sentence always feel a bit…”

“A bit like a crow’s mouth…”

“Hey, how is that possible? Although my strength is lacking, I’ve been traveling the world for so many years, could I possibly poison myself with my words?”

“Just kidding.”

Old Wang waved his hand, appearing unconcerned.

“Rumble.”

At this moment, the ground in front of them suddenly trembled.

The ground shook violently, and then cracks spread across the surface at an extremely fast speed.

The cracks quickly spread in all directions, and the openings grew larger and larger.

A tentacle covered in sand and dust suddenly emerged from the crack, even covered with a hard shell.

Under the terrifying force, the surrounding sand and stones were all lifted.

And with a terrifying roar, a huge body finally emerged from the desert.

Its massive body was covered in sand and dust, resembling a small hill.

However, the hard shell shimmered with light, making people look up in awe, as if it couldn’t be pierced at all.

“Sand Crab!”

Although this huge, hard body seemed slightly clumsy, the faces of the middle-aged cultivators, led by Old Wang, all turned pale.

Because the beast in front of them was the Sand Crab, famous for its extremely hard shell.

Although the Sand Crab looked clumsy on the surface, only able to walk sideways with its legs.

In reality, its speed was frighteningly fast.

Even more terrifying, its giant pincers were immensely powerful, capable of snapping even magical treasures that had undergone boundless tempering.

Its hard shell was even more indestructible.

Even ordinary Sand Crabs possessed terrifying strength, far beyond what they could handle.

But the Sand Crab in front of them was even more chilling.

The huge body, far exceeding that of an ordinary Sand Crab, cast a dark shadow, almost completely enveloping them.

More importantly, a huge aura pressed down.

Old Wang couldn’t help but widen his eyes, staring at the slightly golden, massive pincers of the Sand Crab.

That oppressive feeling, and those pincers…

“This… This is a Transforming Sea Realm Beast King Sand Crab!”

As Old Wang’s incredulous voice shouted out, everyone was instantly dumbfounded.

They never imagined that the casual discussion they had just had, which no one took seriously, would actually come true.

Wasn’t this Forbidden Area the lowest level, a place no one wanted to come to?

“Old Wang, do you dare to open your mouth a little more!”

“Damn it, we’ve been harmed by you!”

“I really didn’t expect this, I just wanted to finish this Forbidden Area trip and go back to my hometown to get married!”

“Shut up!”

While saying this, everyone panicked.

That was a Transforming Sea Realm Beast King. If they didn’t try their best to escape, they would all die here today.

“Boom!”

At this moment, the Sand Crab had already discovered their figures.

Its vertical eyes turned, and suddenly, a giant pincer was raised high and slammed down.

“Boom!”

Sand and stones splashed, and the ground trembled.

The ground that was hit instantly sunk and spread with cracks.

“This, this really is a Beast King!”

Barely dodging the attack, Old Wang was immediately frightened into a cold sweat, not daring to say another word.

“Run, run quickly! If we don’t run, we’ll all die here!”

The group instantly fell into panic, picking up the magical treasures that had fallen to the ground, desperately fleeing towards the distance.

The Sand Crab behind them also moved abruptly at this time, and the ground it stepped on trembled violently.

Its speed far exceeded theirs, and it was about to catch up.

Old Wang’s expression was filled with panic, wondering if he could escape this disaster.

But he suddenly discovered that the strange young man who had followed him was standing dumbfounded, not moving at all.

Not only did he not show any fear, he even looked at their escape with a calm and indifferent expression, like a spectator.

“Run quickly, that’s a Beast King, don’t you want to live anymore!”

Old Wang shouted loudly, his face pale, even his legs beginning to tremble slightly.

“A Beast King, isn’t that even better?”

Nie Chen didn’t move at all, slowly looking at the Sand Crab with greed.

Suddenly, the Sand Crab’s footsteps stopped.

It had already developed intelligence.

As a dignified Beast King, he had always been fearless. But at this moment, the Sand Crab suddenly felt a chill down its spine.

This human was staring straight at him, and that look in his eyes, as if…

He was craving its body!
