Chapter 1771 Bunyip!

Bunyip.

It was a mysterious creature widely spread in Autranssian folklore.

According to legends, these creatures lived near creeks, ponds, and swamps. They all had tusks, flippers, and a tail like a horse, haunting dark places. They were known to feed on animals, children, and women, and roar when approached.

There had been numerous sightings of the Bunyip in Autranssian history.

However…

With the hunting of these creatures in ancient times, they gradually disappeared from people’s sights.

When hearing this legend before, Fang Qiu also thought that the existence of Bunyip was either just a story or a vanished species.

But surprisingly…

He hadn’t expected to see this legendary creature in the underground river of the Autranssy Desert. Although its appearance didn’t exactly match the description in the legends, all the main features were consistent.

Swoosh!

Swimming upstream, Fang Qiu emerged from the water and leaped onto a rock at the edge of the underground river, holding the Yuan Yang Fruit and its roots in his right hand and staring at a Bunyip in front of him.

The appearance of this creature might not benefit Fang Qiu in any way, but it was a species that existed in folklore and could not be seen by ordinary persons, so Fang Qiu naturally wanted to observe it carefully.

But…

Just as Fang Qiu was observing carefully…

Swoosh!

Sudden sounds of dragging and hitting the ground came from all directions.

Fang Qiu turned around to have a look.

To his astonishment, in the pitch-black and spacious cavern, pairs of fist-sized eyes emitting faint fluorescence emerged.

With a closer look…

Actually, these eyes were densely packed and formed a beautiful constellation-like pattern in the dark cavern, giving off a captivating allure.

However, beneath the allure lay a hidden killing intent!

Although these Bunyips were ordinary creatures that had not absorbed the Qi of Heaven and Earth, they were very aggressive.

They were known to prey on humans.

Even though in darkness, Fang Qiu, with his night vision ability, could see clearly that these Bunyips had huge mouths resembling trumpets. Their thick moss-like lips parted in the center, opened to the left and right sides from the middle, and revealed two sharp tusks and two rows of razor-like teeth.

The Bunyips around were the same.

It seemed that they had set their sights on the Yuan Yang Fruit in Fang Qiu’s hand!

“Woo…”

A low and suppressed growl emanated from the throats of these Bunyips.

They were just like vicious dogs.

They fixated on Fang Qiu, and their tentacle-like limbs covered in fur at the joints, supporting their body, suddenly exerted force and bounced from the ground.

Swoosh! Swoosh! Swoosh!

The Bunyips immediately frenziedly lunged at Fang Qiu from all directions.

Over there…

The Bunyip, which had been biting the roots of the Yuan Yang Fruit from the beginning, was still standing in place, biting the roots as if trying to restrict Fang Qiu in this way.

“I thought they were rare, but now it seems that there are quite a lot!”

Fang Qiu fiercely pulled with his right hand.

The Bunyip, which was holding on tightly to the roots of the Yuan Yang Fruit without moving at all, staggered and almost fell to the ground.

Just as it stood up again, ready to compete with Fang Qiu in strength, Fang Qiu swung his right hand violently, and a tremendous force burst out, directly throwing the motionless Bunyip away.

Because they were all ordinary creatures, these Bunyips posed no threat to Fang Qiu at all. Killing them didn’t require any effort!

He swung the roots of the Yuan Yang Fruit immediately.

In an instant, all the densely packed Bunyips in the surrounding area were cleared away.

But…

Just when Fang Qiu thought everything was over, another cluster of densely packed big eyes appeared in the pitch-black space around him.

“Still many?”

Seeing this, Fang Qiu raised an eyebrow.

Although these Bunyips did not absorb the Heaven and Earth energy and killing them didn’t require any effort, it was precisely because of this that Fang Qiu could not sense their presence with his Divine Consciousness at all.

Therefore, Fang Qiu had no idea how many of these Bunyips were in this place.

“It seems that this is a nest.”

Exhaling lightly, Fang Qiu quickly waved the roots of the Yuan Yang Fruit in his hand, and fiercely whipped the Bunyips around him at an extremely fast speed.

The Bunyips launched wave after wave of wild attacks, without any fear even when stepping on the bodies of their companions.

“If all these Bunyips were to go out, what kind of scene would it be?”

Fang Qiu was shocked.

He hadn’t expected that in this underground cavern, there were still many of the legendary species that were believed by everyone to have disappeared in the modern era. It was truly astonishing.

Another wave of killings.

Immediately, Fang Qiu flew up, trying to see how large the nest of these Bunyips was.

Then…

After leaping into the air, he discovered that there were densely packed openings of caves all around him, and these Bunyips were all running here through the openings.

With his Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu could clearly perceive that there was no water flow in the depths of those caves.

Those caves were just the nests of these Bunyips!

Most crucially…

Each of those caves had a considerable space. Now, there were densely packed Bunyips rushing out from those caves and madly pouncing on Fang Qiu.

After killing dozens of Bunyips, Fang Qiu took another look around and found that more and more Bunyips were gathering.

Instantly, he had a premonition in his heart.

Then…

He immediately spread out his Divine Consciousness.

To his astonishment, he discovered that the people who had been constantly chasing after him had already fallen into the underground river and were about to catch up!

Sensing the aura of these people, Fang Qiu looked so gloomy. He immediately rushed forward and killed a large number of Bunyips crazily at the spot where most of Bunyips gathered. Then he immediately turned back and jumped into the underground river again, quickly fleeing far away.

Because Fang Qiu had killed so many Bunyips fiercely, they all followed Fang Qiu into the underground river crazily.

In just a minute, the entire underground river was blocked.

In the underground river…

Fang Qiu swam away quickly along the current.

These ordinary Bunyips, even if they were swimming downstream, couldn’t catch up with Fang Qiu at all.

Behind them…

The pursuers led by Little Saint Lord and the people from Murica, at full speed, quickly arrived at the area where the Bunyips gathered.

However…

They were all blocked by the Bunyips.

Seeing the densely packed Bunyips, Little Saint Lord at the forefront immediately attacked without showing any mercy.

Every burst of energy could completely annihilate all the Bunyips blocking their path.

The spring water was originally icy and clear in the underground river.

In a twinkle…

It was stained with blood.

The entire river was completely dyed blood red.

Just as the Little Saint Lord and the others were crazily slaughtering the Bunyips, there were still numerous Bunyips continuously jumping into the underground river from their nests, madly attacking the pursuers.

Ahead of him…

Fang Qiu was fleeing frantically.

The group of people who had come a little closer fell behind him once again due to the obstruction of the Bunyips!

With the exploration of his Divine Consciousness, Fang Qiu clearly sensed the situation behind him, and he felt relieved slightly knowing that the Bunyips had bought him enough time.

Glancing at the Yuan Yang Fruit in his hand, Fang Qiu frowned and felt a little upset.

Fang Qiu was different from others.

His goal for obtaining this Yuan Yang Fruit was not for his own consumption, but rather for treating the old master.

If this Yuan Yang Fruit ended up in someone else’s hands…

They could swallow it directly to erase the energy aura emitted by the Yuan Yang Fruit, but Fang Qiu couldn’t.

He could neither eat it nor get rid of it.

How could he completely hide the energy aura of the Yuan Yang Fruit?

Fang Qiu knew very well.

If he didn’t completely hide the energy aura of the Yuan Yang Fruit, those people would never stop chasing him.

So…

If he wanted to bring the Yuan Yang Fruit back to Huaxia to treat the old master, he had to first find a way to completely hide the aura of the Yuan Yang Fruit!

But what could hide the aura of the Yuan Yang fruit?

Fang Qiu didn’t know the answer.

He had already tried using his golden internal Qi to completely wrap the Yuan Yang Fruit, but it was difficult to suppress the energy aura emitted by the Yuan Yang Fruit.

In this case, if the aura of the Yuan Yang Fruit was constantly leaked out, it would always attract those chasing after him.

This was the biggest difficulty Fang Qiu faced in trying to escape.

“It seems that I can only take it step by step.”

After thinking about it for a long time, Fang Qiu still couldn’t come up with a good solution.

After all…

This was the third-ranked Heaven Treasure.

Since it was an extraordinary object, it naturally had many incomprehensible characteristics.

He continued to move forward at a high speed.

While escaping, Fang Qiu carefully probed the surroundings with his Divine Consciousness.

Shortly after…

Fang Qiu sensed the presence of a cave area ahead.

The cave area was not large but empty.

Fang Qiu made it there.

He popped his head out and looked around carefully. He had thought it as another nest of the Bunyips, but he didn’t see anything. The whole cave was empty.

After a brief investigation, Fang Qiu confirmed that there was nothing in this cave and no other way out. He jumped back into the underground river and continued his swift escape.

Along the way…

Fang Qiu encountered seven or eight similar underground caves.

After all, these caves were formed due to erosion by underground water over thousands of years.

“This is the ninth one.”

Arriving at the ninth cave, Fang Qiu popped his head out of the water, glanced around, and was ready to continue to escape.

But just as he turned around…

Suddenly, a very subtle energy fluctuation came, causing Fang Qiu, who had been ready to leave, to instantly stop in his tracks!
