Seeing the two still dazed, Mo Hua couldn’t help but clap their backs with both hands, one hand on each, and yell out:
"Run already!"
The Pig Monster’s hind legs had been eradicated by the inverse transformation of Spiritual Power, and though they had regenerated, its Blood Qi was not flowing smoothly, and it struggled to rise.
If they didn’t run now, it might be too late to run later.
Leader Yang and his companion suddenly came to their senses, and together they hastened their movement technique, running towards the cave entrance.
After a short run, the roaring of the Pig Monster could be heard again from behind them, as it had stood up.
A sense of alarm rose in everyone’s heart.
Leader Yang decisively picked up Mo Hua with one hand, tucking him at his waist, and pulled Zhang Lan with the other, running forward with him.
Being a Foundation Building Cultivator, his movement technique was much faster than Mo Hua’s and the others.
Within a few breaths, they had run out of the mountain cave.
There were already people outside by then.
Elder Yu, Court Leader Zhou, and Old Master An were all there.
They had followed the bell’s signal to the cave entrance, and before they could locate the exact position, they heard shaking and roaring from inside the cave.
They were clueless and could only wait at the entrance of the cave.
Seeing the panic-stricken expressions and pale faces of Mo Hua and the others, Court Leader Zhou frowned and asked,
"What happened?"
Leader Yang was about to say something when Mo Hua grabbed his sleeve.
Mo Hua took a deep breath and said nothing else, still insisting only on, "Run fast!"
Court Leader Zhou and the others looked at each other, "We have a few Foundation Building Cultivators here, even if it’s the Patriarch of the Qian Family, we should be able to fight…"
Mo Hua shook his head, "The Patriarch of the Qian Family was eaten, it’s not just us that need to run, all the cultivators searching the mountain must all flee the deep mountains!"
His tone conveyed a deep terror.
That pig was too terrifying.
The aura on its body made Mo Hua feel both familiar and eerie.
The familiar part was, its aura seemed similar to the Power of Annihilation from the Formation Collapse, as if both vaguely contained the force of the Heavenly Dao.
The eerie part was, this aura was the complete opposite to the Power of Annihilation, resembling more of an endless regenerative force.
Mr. Zhuang had said, from the Great Dao comes both creation and destruction, with creation comes annihilation.
If the Formation Collapse is the Power of Annihilation, then this pig embodies the regenerative force!
From death to life, clearly dead, yet it came back to life.
Mo Hua felt a chill in his heart; he didn’t know exactly how formidable this pig was, but insights gained from his long practice of Drawing Formation and the inexplicable fear welling up in his heart told him that if they didn’t run now, all of them would perish in the maw of this Pig Monster!
Upon hearing this, everyone else also turned pale with shock.
The Patriarch of the Qian Family... was eaten?!
That cunning and profound cultivator, who in the midst of encirclement by several Foundation Establishment Initial Stage cultivators and Taoist Soldiers could still find a way to withdraw... was eaten by this pig?!
Without hesitation, Court Leader Zhou decisively said, "We withdraw!"
At that moment, another loud noise came from within the mountain cave.
It seemed like the pig was ramming left and right, shattering the stone walls, and the aura emanating from the cave entrance became increasingly bloodthirsty and dreadful.
Without further delay, everyone immediately withdrew.
Leader Yang pulled along Zhang Lan, while Elder Yu carried Mo Hua on his back.
As everyone retreated, they approached the camps along the way, passing the message:
There is a disaster in the deep mountains; a great danger is coming. All cultivators must evacuate immediately!
In the middle of the night, the silence of the deep mountains was broken, and the cultivators searching the mountain, after the initial panic, withdrew orderly from the deep mountains.
Two hours later, all the cultivators, including Mo Hua, had gathered at the foot of the deep mountains.
This was the border between the deep mountains and Inner Mountain, just a few steps away from Inner Mountain, which was relatively safer.
Elder Yu put Mo Hua down, and everyone breathed a sigh of relief.
At that moment, an abrupt change occurred in the deep mountains.
In the darkness of the night, a wave of Blood Qi shot into the sky, peaks crumbled, and a massive, bloodthirsty Pig Monster suddenly appeared, its horrid roars seeming to tear through the night.
Not only Mo Hua and his companions saw this scene.
At this moment, the cultivators far away in Tongxian City also sensed it, looking up to see the blood Qi soaring into the sky.
The ferocity and Evil Qi caused all cultivators’ hearts and minds to tremble.
Some of the older Monster Hunters couldn’t believe what they saw, shaking with fear and disbelief as they said,
"This is... a Big Demon..."
Elder Yu, standing beside Mo Hua and seeing the current form of the Pig Monster and feeling its presence, remembered the ancient rumors among the Monster Hunters, he felt as if he fell into an ice pit, exclaiming in a lost voice,
"A Big Demon has appeared..."
Elder Yu turned pale, "But this… how is this possible…"
