A Man Like None Other

Chapter 5882

“Boom—!”

The ground ahead suddenly trembled violently, and a massive crack abruptly split open, spewing scorching lava skyward like a fountain!

Immediately afterward, three colossal creatures crawled out of the crack.

They were three monstrous lava apes, each five zhang tall, their bodies composed entirely of black rock and crimson lava!

Each one exuded an aura that reached the peak of the seventh rank of the Celestial Immortal Realm!

Even more terrifying was that they didn’t appear alone; on the shoulders of each ape stood hundreds of densely packed crimson bats—fire bats!

These bats were only the size of a palm, but their fangs were sharp, their wings edged with flames, and they flew at incredible speed.

Most troublesome of all, they could spew a special kind of “corrosive fire,” specifically designed to corrode a cultivator’s protective immortal aura and the spiritual light of their magical artifacts!

“Not good! It’s a three-headed lava giant ape and a swarm of fire bats!”

Lin Feng’s expression changed drastically. “How could they be gathered together? The intelligence didn’t mention it!”

Shi Meng gripped his double hammers tightly, sweat beading on his forehead. “We’re doomed. This lineup is too much for the three of us to handle… Quickly send a signal for help!”

David, however, narrowed his eyes, staring at the three-headed lava giant ape.

He noticed that the ape’s eyes were flashing with an abnormal crimson light, and its behavior was somewhat sluggish, as if it were being controlled by something.

“Someone’s tampering with things…” This thought flashed through David’s mind.

A thousand feet behind, the Earth Fire Pavilion team also saw the sudden change ahead.

“Three-headed lava giant apes? And a swarm of fire bats?”

Elder Yan Xin’s face darkened. “This doesn’t make sense. The two kinds of ferocious beasts have different habits and rarely act together.”
