Chapter 10 Black Beast

A shrill scream pierced the quiet night sky, making people shudder. Then, a huge black figure gradually emerged in the firelight.

Its shape was twisted and terrifying. Although it looked similar to a human, its skin was shriveled and its face was like that of a demon. It emitted an unpleasant odor, and its two sharp claws were particularly eye-catching in the firelight.

Hei Yi was under the protection of the black beast. Although he did not die, the raging flames made his face unrecognizable.

His skin was burnt black and bloody, and only a pair of eyes filled with anger and hatred could identify him.

He pointed at Xu Mu and Tang Yue angrily, his voice filled with despair and anger: "Black beast, kill them for me!"

His fingers were deformed due to burns, and he pointed at the two of them with trembling hands, as if he was using up his last bit of strength to issue orders.

"Roar~~"

The black beast aimed directly at Xu Mu, as if it knew he was easy to bully, and pounced on him without hesitation, its sharp claws flashing with cold light, as if it couldn't wait to tear Xu Mu's throat.

It was the first time that Xu Mu had such a close contact with a demon. He felt his heartbeat quicken and his breathing became rapid. He instinctively wanted to release magic to stop the black demon's attack, but Tang Yue was one step faster than him.

"Sparrow Flame - Fire Burst - Explosion!"

A fiery red star track flashed by, and Tang Yue decisively threw out a ball of fire, hitting the black beast monster that was flying towards him heavily in the face. With the blessing of the elemental spirit seed, the power of this ball of fire was greatly enhanced.

The effect of the third-level fire was like a bomb, causing a violent explosion. The scorching flames instantly engulfed the black beast. With an extremely shrill scream, the black beast was mercilessly burned by the flames.

In less than three seconds, the black beast melted into a pool of foul-smelling liquid under the burning flames.

"That's amazing." Xu Mu swallowed.

Seeing Teacher Tang Yue display such powerful strength, he felt that he was safe.

As a mid-level fire mage, and with the blessing of elemental spirit seeds, this strength should be more than enough to protect himself, right?
Just as he was about to breathe a sigh of relief, more twisted black figures suddenly emerged from behind the man in black. In addition to the pungent smell of burning, there was a nauseating and strong stench in the air.

These figures were all evil black beasts without exception, and their numbers were so large that it was chilling. "Don't be happy too soon, you are facing more than just one black beast." The man in black shouted.

"Come on, everyone. Tear them both to pieces! Especially him, he must die!" The man in black pointed at Xu Mu viciously.

As soon as the words fell, ten black beasts attacked Xu Mu frantically. Their movements were swift and orderly. They knew how to cooperate with each other, as if they were a well-trained killer team, determined to tear Xu Mu into pieces.

"Holy crap! So many."

Xu Mu yelled, Tang Yue put one hand on him, the shadow power covered her and Xu Mu together, and they turned into a shadow and ran away.

"Let's run."

"Teacher Tang Yue, aren't you a mid-level magician? Even you can't deal with this group of black beasts?" Xu Mu asked in surprise.

"I can deal with them, but what about you? Can you survive their attack?" Tang Yue rolled her eyes and said unhappily.

The black beast monsters were not particularly powerful, and were not even as strong as the one-eyed demon wolves. However, a group of black beast monsters were more difficult to deal with than a group of one-eyed demon wolves. Not only were they swift, they also knew how to cooperate with each other. Even she needed some time to deal with these black beast monsters.

This amount of time was enough for the other black beasts to tear Xu Mu into two halves, not to mention that there was a man in black watching him hungrily.

"So we can only run?"

Xu Mu was a little worried. After all, the man in black had already seen his true strength. If he reported all this back to the Black Church, the consequences would be disastrous.

If he was lucky, he would be captured by Mu He himself the next night. If he was unlucky, he would be captured by Saran that same night.

There are only two consequences of being captured. One is to surrender to the Black Church and help it to commit atrocities, and never be able to return to normal human life. The other is to die at their hands.

Uh... there is also a third possibility, which is to be thrown into a quenching pool made of the ancient god mites on Titan's body and turned into a black beast. The ending will be the same as Xu Zhaoting in the original novel.
