Death… And Me Novel Chapter 1273 - Counter!

Chapter 1273 - Counter!

Rean and Roan imdiately activated the Light and Divine Sense bending skill. However, the ground under them suddenly caved in, revealing the mouth of so underground demon beast under it. The twins weren't the only ones caught up in it, though. Dilan's group also suffered the sa fate. Not only that, but far in the distance, the other people that left ahead seed to be caught up in the sa problem.

'It's an ambush!'

Rean and Roan couldn't notice it ahead of ti for the sa reason as before, Divine Sense! That's why the enemy approached them so easily. In any case, the twins didn't panic, even though they were about to fall into the demon beast's mouth.

'Death Style, First Energy Form, Shadow Binds!'

Several dark vines erged from their surroundings, grabbing Rean and Roan as they pulled them away before they fell.

*Bang!*

Seeing that his prey escaped, the demon beast jumped out of the ground, imdiately giving chase. Rean and Roan looked around, and they could tell that other than one person in the first group to move away, all the others fell into the demon beasts' mouths. Then again, they didn't have ti to care about that guy. The demon beasts who succeeded imdiately looked in their direction and jumped out of the ground as well. They were trying to stop the twins from running away. The sa happened for the other guy, of course.

'What are these things?' Rean asked through their Soul Connection. The demon beasts looked like armored lizards, but Rean couldn't rember seeing this type before.

'No idea. I didn't look into every demon beast that exists, you know? However, that's not the problem. Look what's on their back. There are cultivators controlling them,' Roan answered.

Rean took a quick glance, and sure enough, it seed like the enemy was riding these demon beasts. They also noticed that the Light bending skill didn't seem very effective. As for Divine Sense bending, it was useless to start with since one couldn't make out anything with Divine Sense in this place.

'Thy shouldn't be able to see us with the naked eye or Divine Sense, so they're probably using other senses to find where we're,' Rean added.

However, just the fact that cultivators were riding those armored lizards gave Rean and Roan the necessary amount of information they needed. 'Since the demon beasts are tad, they probably don't have sentience yet. That ans they can't be more than Stage Eight Demon Beasts. We're looking at Saint Realm or Elental Transformation Realm level enemies.'

All of that conversation happened in just a second through the twins' Soul Connection. Nevertheless, the twins wouldn't risk a battle against an unknown enemy, so they decided to flee first.

'Death World!'

'Enhancent!'

'Shadow Steps!'

Surprisingly, Roan's Death World couldn't spread more than a few ters. That's because he relied on strands of Divine Soul Power to spread the Dark Elent. They were too close to the Continental Barrier, which made the Divine Energy on the surroundings too chaotic. It severely affected Roan's Death World. In consequence, it also affected the effectiveness of Shadow Steps.

The lizard quickly caught up to the twins even though they were moving at full speed. The twins knew their own speed was the sa as a Peak Stage Saint Realm cultivator from the Sacred Land. Perhaps they were slightly faster. If it was an average cultivator, then they could be as fast as a cultivator an entire realm above them. In any case, the lizards were faster than them, which confird that they were definitely Stage Eight Demon Beasts.

'This isn't working,' Roan narrowed his eyes. There were too many of those lizards, and they could obviously see where they were. The twins wouldn't be able to fight such a strong and nurous force. 'We will probably have to sacrifice our Nascent Souls.'

One must rember that the twins had always had the ability to do that, thanks to Sister Orb and the system. Once they do that, they will have to pay 20000 Destiny Points to reform it, though. Not to ntion that it would take ti to finish, and they wouldn't be able to cultivate in that state.

However, just as Roan was about to do that, Rean rembered sothing. 'Wait! Look at their eyes!'

Roan glanced at the armored lizards and imdiately understood what Rean ant. Following that, Roan gathered his Yin Energy and Water Elent, creating a thin layer of water around Rean and himself.

Imdiately, the lizard stopped running and began to look everywhere. However, they simply couldn't see where the twins were anymore. It was as if they beca invisible. No, the twins were already invisible due to Rean's Light bending skill. However, they beca invisible for the armored lizards as well.

Heat sense! Roan created a thin layer of water that had the sa temperature as the environnt. The twins also used their Divine Soul Power to trap their heat into their bodies, not allowing it to spread. Rean rembered a fact back on Earth that lizards could follow prey through their body temperatures, so he thought these lizards were doing the sa thing. Sure enough, it worked perfectly well. The lizards couldn't tell where the twins had gone, especially since the entire environnt was chaotic due to the proximity to the Continental Barrier. It was even worse for the cultivators on the back of the lizards. After all, they can't use Divine Sense either.

"How the hell did they do that?" one of the cultivators could not help but ask his companions.

"How would I know? First, they disappeared from our eyes, and now, even the Earth Lizards can't see them."

"Should we keep looking for them?" another guy asked.

"Forget it." However, their leader imdiately called it out. "We already captured most of the newcors. Not to ntion this was a very big batch, so we should be satisfied with our results. Let's head back."

Unfortunately for them, they thought the twins had run away. But... would Rean and Roan really run when they knew they were invisible to the enemy?

'Death Style, Third Form, Three Claws of the Dragon!'

'Life Fire, First Form, Fla Emperor Slash!'
