Chapter 62

Buzzing.

Above the black crater, the mysterious black egg hovered, and on its surface, some extremely obscure light patterns slowly lit up. As these light patterns emerged, everyone could feel the spiritual energy fluctuations in the world suddenly becoming extremely violent.

Mu Feng and the others watched this scene with grave expressions. Sensing the agitation of the spiritual energy, a trace of unease inevitably flashed across his eyes. These circumstances were somewhat beyond his expectations.

Originally, according to the image in the copper piece, the current Netherbird should be in an extremely weak state due to its previous failed evolution. However, from the way the mysterious black egg forced Liu Qingtian to retreat with a broken finger, it was clear that this thing was not as helpless as they had imagined.

"Be careful."

Mu Feng said in a low voice, "If the situation goes wrong, retreat immediately. We won't go after the Netherbird."

Zhou Ye and the others were slightly taken aback by this, but after seeing Mu Feng's serious expression, they nodded, clearly sensing something was amiss.

Mu Chen's gaze was also fixed on the mysterious black egg in the sky. The Netherbird was too powerful. Although they did not know what level this Netherbird had reached before its failed evolution, it must have far exceeded the Divine Soul Realm.

A Netherbird of this strength, if it still possessed even a fraction of its former power, would likely be invincible within the Northern Spirit Region.

Not far away, the people from Liu Domain also watched the mysterious black egg above the crater with great tension. Liu Qingtian's face was extremely grim, and Liu Mu Bai's face alternated between red and green. If it weren't for him earlier, Liu Qingtian might not have acted so hastily to seize the egg. Moreover, at that critical moment, Mu Chen chose a different approach, thus saving Mu Feng. Comparing the two, his handsome face turned slightly red with a hint of hidden resentment.

"Is Big Brother alright?" Liu Zong and Liu Ming looked at Liu Qingtian's broken finger, somewhat worried. If anything happened to Liu Qingtian, it would be a significant blow to Liu Domain.

Liu Qingtian shook his head with a grim face, his eyes fixed on the sky without blinking.

"Everyone, keep a close watch. This time, I don't want to return empty-handed!" Liu Qingtian's grim voice echoed in the ears of the Liu Domain people, making them jump and nod in agreement.

Under the tense gazes of the two groups, the light patterns on the surface of the mysterious black egg became increasingly bright, with a rhythmic quality, flickering like breathing.

Buzz.

As the light patterns brightened, the mysterious black egg suddenly vibrated. Then, everyone was shocked to see black rays of light burst out from the black egg.

The sky quickly darkened, with a hint of turning from day to night. This change made everyone's expressions change.

Squawk!

Amidst the spreading darkness, a clear and sharp cry suddenly echoed through the world.

This cry, like a sound wave, spread out in all directions, finally disappearing at the horizon.

Mu Chen, watching the black rings that enveloped the sky, felt a sudden jolt in his heart, a trace of unease flashing across his eyes.

"Something's wrong!"

Mu Feng's expression suddenly changed dramatically. He clenched his fists, a look of shock in his eyes: "Our spiritual energy is draining!"

Upon hearing this, Zhou Ye and the others' expressions also changed abruptly. They quickly checked their bodies and indeed found that their spiritual energy was mysteriously disappearing.

It was as if something was forcibly absorbing their spiritual energy!

Mu Chen, hearing Mu Feng's alarmed voice, felt his heart race. He was only at the late-stage Spirit Movement Realm, so the loss of spiritual energy was not as noticeable to him. However, for those at the Divine Soul Realm like Mu Feng, it was very evident.

"It's because of that black egg!" Mu Chen said solemnly. At this moment, the only explanation for this strange phenomenon was the mysterious black egg.

Not far away, the people from Liu Domain also fell into chaos, cries of alarm continuously echoing. They had clearly also noticed this strange situation.

"Domain Lord, what should we do?" Duan Wei asked urgently. If this continued, their spiritual energy would eventually be drained, and they wouldn't be able to leave the Black Nether Abyss.

Mu Feng's eyes rapidly changed, then he clenched his teeth: "Go, retreat!"

The situation here was too strange. Mu Feng now understood that their expedition was too rash. What level of existence was the Netherbird? Even if it had failed its evolution and was extremely weak, how could they, with their current strength, easily gain an advantage?

At this moment, there was no room for greed. If they couldn't save their lives, even the best treasures would be useless. So, Mu Feng made a quick decision and led the group to leave.

Boom!

However, just as Mu Feng gave the order to retreat, the ground suddenly trembled violently, as if an earthquake had struck.

"Domain Lord, look quickly!"

A voice filled with shock suddenly rang out. Mu Feng, Mu Chen, and the others hurriedly looked up, their gazes fixed on the distant rear. They saw countless rays of light suddenly appear in the Black Nether Abyss. Within these rays of light were powerful spirit beasts, with over a dozen high-level spirit beasts at the forefront.

These spirit beasts were now charging madly in their direction. The sight of thousands of beasts charging made Duan Wei and the others turn pale.

Mu Chen also couldn't help but draw a sharp breath. What was going on? Could it be that all the spirit beasts from the Black Nether Abyss had come?

"Quick, get out of the way!"

Mu Feng's eyes twitched. Suppressing his shock, he quickly moved to a nearby rock. Facing such a massive charge of beasts, even a Divine Soul Realm expert like him had to retreat.

As Mu Feng and his group hurriedly avoided, the people from Liu Domain also noticed this terrifying scene. Many of them felt their legs go weak. This was truly a terrifying sight.

Liu Qingtian was also startled, but fortunately, he didn't lose his composure. He quickly led his people to retreat, not daring to stand in front of the charging beasts.

The two groups, maintaining a distance, dared not make a sound, crouching low and watching the rapidly approaching herd of spirit beasts.

Mu Chen's gaze was fixed on the charging spirit beasts. Then, his eyes narrowed slightly. He noticed that the eyes of these spirit beasts were all a crazed, blood-red color, as if something mysterious had driven them all mad.

Mu Chen frowned, recalling the skeleton of the Spirit Insect Master he had seen earlier. This made him more cautious about the Netherbird, which he had yet to meet. This thing seemed far from simple.

The herd of spirit beasts, carrying a rolling cloud of dust, finally rushed into the black basin. The bones that had been scattered there were crushed under their hooves, but they paid no attention. Their charging direction was directly toward the mysterious black egg above the crater.

Mu Chen watched the herd of spirit beasts as they charged into the basin, quickly approaching the mysterious black egg. Then, his pupils constricted as he saw the black bird pattern on the black egg come to life, gently flapping its wings.

The already dark sky became even darker.

Squawk!

Another clear, black sound wave quietly rippled out. This sound wave, gentle like flowing water, spread over the charging herd of spirit beasts.

The world seemed to fall silent in that instant.

Mu Chen took a deep breath, a look of shock appearing in his black eyes. He saw that the spirit beasts, whether high-level or low-level, instantly froze upon being hit by the black sound wave. Then, their flesh peeled away, leaving behind skeletal figures in a running posture, standing in the black basin.

Mu Chen and Mu Feng exchanged a glance, both seeing the shock in each other's eyes. They recalled the skeletal figures they had seen earlier, realizing that these bones had appeared in this way...

This meant that this situation had happened before.
