Chapter 74

I feel a burning, agonizing pain in my lungs, and every breath feels like being carved by a knife. Damn it, that beast's claws are actually poisoned! I stagger backward, dodging the pouncing attack of the demonic beast that resembles a giant wolf but has bat-like wings. Its sharp claws tear through the air with a piercing whistle, narrowly missing tearing me to pieces every single time. There are a few smaller demonic beasts prowling around, eyeing me like hungry wolves, ready to pounce and grab a share of the spoils at any moment. But I cannot afford to care about them; my gaze is locked tightly onto that fissure. That wave of pure spiritual qi is like a lighthouse in the dark night, guiding my forward path. I have a strong premonition that right there lies my hope for survival. "Roar!" The giant wolf demonic beast pounces again, its foul breath blowing against my face. I bite my teeth together, enduring the excruciating pain, and mobilize the last remaining scrap of spiritual energy in my body.
