Death… and me

Chapter 1274: Rescuing

The leader of that group didn't even know what happened before his head was sent flying. Not only him, but another lizard owner near him basically died in the same way. Rean and Roan had taken out two of the enemy cultivators in just a moment. 

"What?!"

Naturally, the other people who were paying attention to the leader's words noticed that as well. Unfortunately, they were only able to make out the light left by the elements used by Rean and Roan before they disappeared once again.

"A-Attack their previous position!"

*Boom, boom, boom, boom!*

Several attacks came from all around, blasting the two Earth Lizards and the two dead bodies on their backs to bits. Even the armored lizards couldn't resist so many attacks at once.

*Swish!*

*Swish!*

Unfortunately for them, Rean and Roan were long gone before the attacks arrived in their last location. Two more attacks and two more dead bodies. The lizards under them immediately stopped as their owners stopped to give them any commands.

"There! Attack! Attack!"

*Boom, boom, boom…*

Another assault, and no result. There were many lizards and cultivators controlling them. However, Rean and Roan looked like ghosts. No one knew where they would appear. If Divine Sense still worked, Rean and Roan wouldn't be able to end it once they got too close to their enemies. But since Divine Sense was unusable in this place, they truly vanished from existence. It wasn't even possible to follow their steps because the entire surroundings were chaotic due to the Continental Barrier's power. It was impossible to make up some steps on the ground as the twins moved from one enemy to another.

Eventually, ten cultivators died under the twins' hands before the group finally understood that only death awaited them in this place.

"Run! They're monsters! Run no-"

Unfortunately, the guy died before he was able to finish his words. Following that, Rean shouted from his concealment. "I can feel the life force of the cultivators you just captured. They're still alive in the bellies of these Earth Lizards of yours. Let them go, and we won't attack you anymore. Otherwise, we will pursue you to the end."

Roan glanced in Rean's direction. He didn't care that much about the others at all. However, he knew that Rean's naiveness couldn't be fixed, so he didn't try to stop him.

"Le-let them go! Let them go right now!"

The cultivators then controlled the lizards to open their mouths and spit the cultivators from inside. It turned out that the lizards' saliva acted as a potent paralyzer, so they were all unable to do anything about they were swallowed by the lizards.

Soon after, the guys immediately turned their lizards around and began to flee. It was one thing to approach their enemies underground as Rean's group didn't know they were coming. However, trying to run back underground would be suicidal as there was no way the lizards could excavate as fast as they moved on the surface. 

Rean and Roan didn't do anything as the cultivators disappeared in the distance on the backs of their lizards. Once they left their sight completely, Rean used his Divine Soul Power to grab everyone before looking at Roan. "Let's leave this place first. The Divine Energy and Elements here are too chaotic. If I leave them here like this, they will die very quickly."

Roan nodded. "Fine! But they are your responsibility." He then tried to access the Dimensional Realm once more. This time, he was able to.

*Creeee!*

Immediately, Kentucky was brought outside and was impressed with what he saw. "Holy shit! Is that the Continental Barrier? That thing is frightening." As a Divine Demon Beast, he obviously had very sharp senses. He didn't even need to look to know how dangerous it was."

Rean nodded as he jumped on Kentucky's back with Roan and the group of cultivators. "That's the one. Anyways, take us far away from it first, Kentucky."

"On it!" Kentucky then took flight and wavered quite a bit due to the strong winds. Fortunately, he was able to bring the whole group away, leaving the wall's influence after a few hours. Of course, Divine Sense was still affected. Everything in it was blurry even though they could spread it to their max distances.

Kentucky then landed beside a cliff and let Rean come down with the people. "What are you going to do with them?" Kentucky asked as he looked at the paralyzed cultivators. Although they were paralyzed, they were conscious and hearing everything. "Oh, I know why you brought them! They're my midday lunch, right?!"

Rean lauhged in response. "Hahaha! So you guessed what I was planning, huh? Yea, I thought you would like their taste."

Everyone began to let out cold sweat. In the end, they left a group of monsters, only to be in the maw of another.

*Bang!*

Suddenly, Roan kicked Rean and Kentucky away. "Lunch, your ass. This idiot bird only eats metals to start with. Stop wasting time and heal them already."

Kentucky and Rean looked at Roan in disappointment, with Rean muttering, "You don't even know how to play."

Rean then moved to the people and touched their bodies.

'Life Style, Third Form, Purification!'

With Rean's skill, the poison paralyzing everyone's bodies was removed very quickly. It wasn't anything dangerous to start with. Given the time, their own bodies would get rid of it naturally. 

"We-We're saved…" One of the guys couldn't help but comment.

Someone then looked at Rean and said, "What kind of joke was that? I truly thought we would be this bird's lunch!"

"That's right! Also, if you had a Transition Realm demon beast waiting for you here, why didn't you bring it out sooner?"

One must remember that demon beasts could only talk after they reached the Transition Realm or Stage Nine. Since Divine Sense couldn't be used in this place, they thought Kentucky was at that level since he could talk.

Rean shook his head, saying, "You guys could have pondered over it for a bit, no? Since I signed the contract, how could I hurt any of you?"

"This…" Everyone became silent after that. Indeed. Rean couldn't touch them, so they had never been in danger to start with.

"As for Kentucky, let's just say that he arrived too late," Rean continued with a smile.
