Transmigration and Self-Saving Cultivation

Chapter 123 A New Crisis Emerges.

Just as Jun Luochuan and Su Yao were arguing heatedly about the distribution of the treasure, a strange, ghostly aura silently spread out, like a thick, impenetrable haze, an invisible net that quietly enveloped them.

Jun Luochuan, with his keen intuition, was the first to notice this unusual anomaly. His brows furrowed instantly, like two twisted braids, and his eyes revealed a hawk-like vigilance. "Su Yao, stop arguing. Something's wrong. It's like the oppressive calm before a storm."

Su Yao was speaking animatedly and excitedly when Jun Luochuan abruptly interrupted her. She immediately became like a cat whose tail had been stepped on, grumbling in dissatisfaction, "What could be wrong? Don't always be so jumpy and paranoid. You've ruined the good atmosphere."

However, as the mysterious and dangerous aura grew stronger, like a rising tide gradually enveloping them, Su Yao finally belatedly realized what was happening. "Oh dear, something really isn't right. This aura makes me feel chilly, like I've fallen into an ice cellar."

The surrounding temperature seemed to drop sharply in an instant, as if winter had arrived early, so cold that people couldn't help but shiver and their teeth started chattering.

"This aura... it exudes evil, as if a demon from the depths of hell is quietly approaching," Jun Luochuan said in a low voice, his gaze sweeping around warily like a searchlight, not missing a single detail.

Su Yao unconsciously moved closer to Jun Luochuan, her body trembling slightly, and her voice trembling as well, like a candle flame flickering in the wind: "Jun Luochuan, I'm a little scared. This feeling is terrible, like there's an unseen pair of eyes watching us in the dark."

Jun Luochuan snorted softly, but his face held a resolute expression, like an unyielding mountain: "What are you afraid of? I'm here. Even if the King of Heaven himself came, I could still protect you."

At that moment, a series of eerie, ghostly footsteps echoed from the darkness. Each step felt like a heavy hammer pounding into one's heart, instilling a nameless fear, as if one's heart were being gripped tightly by an invisible hand.

"Who?" Jun Luochuan shouted, his voice booming like thunder in the silent space.

The footsteps stopped abruptly, but the oppressive atmosphere, which was almost suffocating, did not lessen at all; instead, it became even heavier, like solidified lead.

Su Yao gripped Jun Luochuan's clothes tightly, her palms sweating. "Could it be the owner of that sinister laughter from earlier? I have a feeling there's some terrible conspiracy behind this."

Jun Luochuan did not answer. His brain was working at high speed, like a high-speed machine, thinking of various strategies to deal with this unknown crisis.

Suddenly, a dark shadow swept past them like lightning, bringing with it a gust of cold wind that made their hair fly wildly.

"Watch out!" Jun Luochuan instinctively shielded Su Yao behind him, his movements swift and resolute, like a mother hen protecting her chicks.

The dark figure stopped a short distance away, gradually revealing its form.

This was a monster with a hideous face like a demon, emanating a dense, poisonous aura that inspired fear in all who beheld it.

"Hmph, two more fools who don't know their own mortality, delivering themselves to our doorstep." The monster sneered, its voice like sharp shards of ice, piercing one's eardrums.

Jun Luochuan's gaze turned cold, like two icy beams shooting straight at the monster: "Who exactly are you? How dare you play tricks here!"

The monster burst into laughter, its sound echoing through the empty space like the wailing of an owl: "I've come to take your lives! Today is your doomsday!"

As it spoke, the monster opened its gaping maw, brandishing its sharp claws, and pounced on them like a vicious wolf...
