Chapter 218 Abyss Beast
When the Fourth Elder heard what he said...
His gaze fell upon the gaping maw of the abyss ahead.
In an instant, the Fourth Elder's face turned extremely ugly.
Beneath that abyss lies a colossal beast imprisoned.
He was fortunate enough to see it once back then.
He didn't know where the giant beast came from.
All that is known is that the giant beast belongs to the young master himself.
He wasn't the only one who saw it back then; other people also witnessed it.
At that time, the young master said that no one could enter the abyss inside the mine at will. It was such a mysterious abyss that everyone wanted to explore it.
Several people had thought of coming in, but all of them died without a trace. In fact, the Fourth Elder had also thought of going down to take a look.
His life might not have been spared. He never went down. Would he dare? He didn't dare. He valued his life, so he didn't dare go down. But now, that little thief jumped down.
It was estimated that they wouldn't even need to lift a finger; the giant beast would probably just swallow that little thief whole. Just as the Fourth Elder and the Seventh Elder were looking at each other, wondering what to do next,
The other elders had already arrived. When they arrived, they saw two familiar figures. The second elder, who was in the lead, looked at the two with a gloomy expression.
His voice, neither too loud nor too soft, echoed through the mine.
"Fourth brother, seventh brother, did you two manage to win her over?"
If the fourth and seventh brothers caught up with the child, then why is he nowhere to be seen? Where is he? Or did the fourth brother fail to catch him?
The Second Elder frowned and looked at the Fourth Elder with a solemn expression.
The Third Elder, standing to one side, shouted anxiously, "Fourth Brother, Seventh Brother, speak up! Have you caught up with that child? What about the top-grade spirit stones, mid-grade spirit stones, top-grade spirit herbs, and weapons? Could it be that the child took them all?"
He really wanted to know if that child had taken these things. If she had, he would do everything he could to get them back!
The Fourth Elder looked at his Third and Second Brothers with surprise, his expression slightly stunned. He said slowly, "What child? Isn't it the little thief? Look, that little thief should have jumped into the abyss. He's probably dead by now."
Upon hearing this, the Second Elder's expression changed drastically.
His gaze fixed on the fourth brother, he asked in a deep voice, "What did you say? That child jumped into the abyss?"
The Fourth Elder nodded, his expression grave: "Yes, Second Brother, there's only an abyss in the mine, no other way out. I haven't seen anyone since I came in. By the way, Second Brother, isn't this the little thief? Who is the child you and Third Brother were talking about?"
He looked at the three men with a puzzled expression. Were they not petty thieves?
If they weren't family, who would be so eager to die?
Don't they know there are giant beasts lurking beneath the abyss?
The Third Elder's face darkened, and he could no longer hold back his curses.
"Who else could it be but the young master's own daughter! I never expected this brat to pull such a stunt. She's really something. Taking advantage of the patriarch's absence, she went straight to the Bai family and took away their treasure pavilion. Not only that, she even dared to dream of the treasure vault!"
The Fourth Elder's pupils constricted sharply, his eyes widened, and he exclaimed in surprise, "What! The eldest young master's child? Wasn't she in Longyuan Town? When did she arrive in Xiaoyao City?"
Immediately, the Fourth Elder seemed to have thought of something.
His face was quite ugly, and he gritted his teeth and roared, "So that means this little girl came back specifically for revenge? What a cunning little brat!"
Upon hearing this, the Seventh Elder frowned, a sense of astonishment washing over him. If it really was that girl, his older brothers would likely not let her off easily.
The Second Elder took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down, and said in a deep voice, "Now is not the time to discuss these things. We need to quickly think of a way to get the things back. If the child really jumped down, her life or death is unknown, so we don't need to worry about that. But the things that belong to the Bai family cannot be lost like this."
The Fourth Elder nodded, his face still grim: "Second Brother is right, we must act quickly, but... but how do we deal with the giant beasts below the abyss?"
The Third Elder glared and roared, "What are you afraid of! There are so many of us, why should we be afraid of a single beast? Each of us is at least at the Nascent Soul stage, what is there to be afraid of?"
The Seventh Elder spoke at this moment, his tone slightly hesitant: "But... that abyssal behemoth is unusual, we... we should still be careful."
The Second Elder glanced at the Seventh Elder and said coldly, "Seventh Elder, when did you become so timid? With so many elders here, what is there to be afraid of?"
When the Seventh Elder heard his Second Brother say such things about him, his face turned red, but he still insisted, "It's not that I'm cowardly, it's just that the giant beast... that giant beast is indeed extraordinary. We should think of a foolproof plan."
While the elders were arguing incessantly.
Suddenly, a clear, cold voice came from behind them: "You old fogies, how can you be so useless? It's just a giant beast, is it worth being so afraid of?"
Everyone turned around at the sound and saw a man in fine clothes with a cold face and eyes that exuded an imposing aura. This man was none other than the Grand Elder who was in seclusion for cultivation.
When the Second Elder saw the man's face, his pupils contracted sharply. Wasn't this his elder brother's appearance when he was young? Could this man be his elder brother? He tentatively asked, "Elder brother?"
Because of his tentative question.
A smile appeared in Bai Huaiyao's eyes. As expected of the second oldest.
To recognize him so quickly, you're not exactly stupid.
Bai Huaiyao nodded slightly, which was considered as an answer to the Second Elder's question.
The others were dumbfounded.
Is the person in front of me my elder brother?
how come?
When did you become so young, brother?
They could hardly believe that this was their eldest brother.
The Third Elder stared wide-eyed at Bai Huaiyao, somewhat incredulous.
With a trembling voice, she called out, "Big brother, is it really you? How come you've become so young? I can hardly believe you're the same big brother."
Bai Huaiyao glanced at him and said coldly, "You really don't believe it's me? Isn't it good to become younger? At least you can be hundreds of years younger, unlike you guys who still have long beards."
Upon hearing this, everyone's expression changed.
No, why is my brother starting to look down on them?
Who doesn't want to be young? It's as if they don't want to be young.
The key point is that they don't have the Nine-Turn Jade Marrow Pill.
If they had that, they could also become younger.
The group looked at their eldest brother with resentment.
Bai Huaiyao chuckled softly upon seeing this.
It was as if he could see through everyone's thoughts.
He stepped forward, his gaze sharp as he stared into the gaping maw of the abyss ahead, and slowly said, "Alright, enough of this nonsense. The most important thing now is how to deal with the situation. The Bai family's things can't just be taken away by her so easily."
Upon hearing this, the Fourth Elder nodded quickly.
"Brother, is it the giant beast from the abyss..."
