Chapter 940: The Crisis of the Duncan Family!
Upon hearing this, a glint of coldness flashed in Adele’s eyes, and she let out a heavy snort.
Her gaze towards Lachlan grew even more hostile.
Her tone towards Elmer Duncan also became somewhat unfriendly.
“Speak, what crisis needs to be resolved?” Adele asked coldly.
Lachlan remained calm, showing no other reaction, and said sincerely, “Whatever crisis the Duncan family is facing, just tell us! Whether you give us the Four Elements Divine Fire or not, I will do my best to help.”
“Alright! Very well…” Elmer Duncan nodded at Lachlan, feeling much less resentment towards him upon hearing this.
After giving a somewhat awkward smile to Adele, he began to explain the situation.
As Elmer Duncan spoke, the faces of the Duncan family experts present showed a mix of fear and anger.
It turned out that a month ago, a monstrous creature had set its sights on the Duncan family.
Every night, someone would be devoured by it!
Once, Elmer Duncan teamed up with the strongest experts of the Duncan family to ambush the creature at midnight. They discovered that it was a giant python, as thick as a barrel.Exclusive © material by Nô(/v)elDrama.Org.
The combined attacks of the Duncan family’s Golden Core and Core Formation experts fell on the Python Monster, but it completely ignored them.
Their attacks couldn’t even leave a mark on the Python Monster!
The Python Monster simply ignored everyone else, devoured another member of the Duncan family, and then brazenly escaped.
No one could do anything to this Python Monster.
However, it seemed that the creature did not want to go on a killing spree.
Despite having the power to wipe out the entire Duncan family with a wave of its hand, it ignored everyone else.
After that, the entire Duncan family fell into a state of deep fear. Some people wanted to escape to save their lives.
But anyone who left the confines of the Duncan family estate was instantly killed!
The Duncan family estate had become a prison for those within it, a place where one could enter but not leave.
The Python Monster seemed to be raising them as food.
It didn’t kill everyone in the estate at once but devoured one person each day.
The feeling of waiting for death to come, not knowing who would die each day, drove the entire Duncan family to the brink of despair.
“If you two can help us eliminate that beast, the Four Elements Divine Fire will be yours. We don’t need anything else,” Elmer Duncan stated seriously, his eyes fixed on Lachlan and Adele.
After listening, Lachlan and Adele both frowned.
A Python Monster that eats people every day?
The two exchanged glances and saw a hint of doubt in each other’s eyes.
Given their strength, they hadn’t sensed any demonic aura on their way to the Duncan family estate.
Lachlan thought to himself:
If there really were such a monstrous creature causing trouble and so many people had died, I should have been able to sense some demonic aura or death energy.
But there was none!
There were only two possibilities: either Elmer Duncan was lying about the Python Monster, or this Python Monster was incredibly powerful and could completely erase all traces of its actions, even hiding its aura.
If it were the latter, then this creature’s cultivation level must be formidable.
With this in mind, Lachlan expanded his mental field as much as possible and released it outward.
In the next second, his expression changed.
He discovered that once his mental field extended beyond a certain range of the Duncan family estate, it was blocked by some force.
In other words, some force was isolating those inside from the outside world?
“Have you two noticed something? Yes, within the Duncan family estate, all connections with the outside world are cut off. Even phone calls can’t get through! This beast has trapped us here and is raising us as food!” Elmer Duncan observed Lachlan and Adele’s expressions and shook his head with a bitter smile.
“If you two don’t get rid of it, you might not be able to leave either! Sigh…”
“Hmph! Then I’ll go meet this Python Monster and see how much trouble it can cause!” Adele snorted coldly. “I want to see if it will show up to kill me if I leave the Duncan family estate! It better come out so I can slay it with one strike!”
Without another word, she left the depths of the Spiritual Vein, intending to lure out the monster directly.
She had only one thought: finish this quickly! Help the Duncan family resolve this crisis and get the Four Elements Divine Fire as soon as possible.
Seeing this, Elmer Duncan and Lachlan quickly followed her.
Outside, Adele shouted loudly, her clear voice echoing through the mountains.
“Beast, come out!”
Swish!
In the next second, she stepped onto her treasured sword, which emitted a misty glow, and flew into the air towards the edge of the Duncan family estate.
Her stance indicated that she intended to leave the estate’s boundaries to lure out the Python Monster.
Lachlan watched with a look of surprise in his eyes.
Indeed, Adele’s sword was a magical weapon capable of flight when driven by true energy.
However, he secretly shook his head at her approach.
Using this method to lure out the Python Monster? It might not work!
This python’s intelligence must be high. It might not show itself upon sensing Adele’s strength.
After all, Adele was different from the members of the Duncan family, her Shattered Void Realm status was evident.
It could trap the Duncan family members but might not attempt to trap Adele. It might even hope for her quick departure.
However, in the next second, Lachlan’s pupils contracted as he realized he had guessed wrong!
The other members of the Duncan family also showed expressions of uncertainty as they watched what happened in mid-air.
A figure suddenly soared into the sky after Adele flew past a certain range.
With lightning speed, it intercepted her in mid-air.
This Python Monster dared to confront even Adele, a powerful Shattered Void Realm expert!
Did it see her as just another piece of food like the rest of the Duncan family?
Staying put meant waiting for death, leaving was not an option!
