Chapter 624

(Unedited)



For many years have passed while the Golden Dragon Empire soldiers made the bridge to cross the dangerous secret path. Thousands of people died and fell down the dark chasm. However, the empire did not stop with the construction even after losing thousands of people.

The Golden Dragon Empire compensated those families who died and were hailed as heroes in their villages. So when this happened, those people have already considered themselves as heroes if they died in making the long stone bridge in that dangerous place.

As the number of people who fell down the increase so as those creatures down below. They have already tried to investigate and found nothing blow there. However, they didn't know that something scary is actually lurking in that dark chasm.

It began to feed on the humans who fell and as the years go by many began to gather in that place and silently feeds.

However, it's been a long time ever since any of those delicious humans have fallen, and they could not wait anymore.

One day, those lying creatures in waiting suddenly heard marching at the top. Immediately thousands of eyes were directed towards that long bridge made of rocks.

Then suddenly they were all surprised as hundreds of sharp objects suddenly fell and killed many of them. With a loud roar, these denizens of the chasm suddenly decided to attack those humans and devour them.

They all began to climb up the wall of the cliff towards the location of those who attacked them.

Then a light fell down and many of them were surprised, but they did not stop. They wanted to feed. They are hungry and could not wait to taste another human flesh.

General Xang saw a large army of the black colored lizard-like beast about 2 meters in height climbing on the walls coming towards them. The beast's sharp claws easily dig on the cliff's surface as they ascend from the darkness.

His heart immediately felt scared as he suddenly jumps down from his mount and retreated along with the soldiers.

"Retreat! Everyone slowly retreats with weapons at the ready!" shouted General Xang.

As he brandishes his sword, he stood with his men who are also nervously waiting for the emergence of the monsters.

If they can pass through the bridge, they would soon arrive at the Golden Dragon Empire's boundary. If that happens, they would not be afraid.

Soon, they saw the 2 meters long black scaled lizard which looks like a combination of a body of a lizard and the head of a snake.

Upon seeing the humans, the beasts immediately showed their razor-sharp teeth.

The soldiers could immediately saw the salivating expression of the beast as they look at their prey.

However, the Golden Dragon Empire soldiers suddenly did not cower upon seeing the true appearance of their enemy. In fact, they all heave a sigh of relief and berating themselves for being scared.

They have seen these kinds of creatures before and have fought them when they were training in the forest. Though these creatures are fierce and strong, their skin is not that tough, and could easily be killed.

And so with that, the soldiers began to charge forward with the command from their commanders.

Shin Jiao who is standing in the middle, suddenly saw the army moving forward. The pushing momentum is unstoppable as he found his body moving forwards on his own. Although he could actually stop if he wanted to, yet he just let himself go with the crowd.

Not long later, he could already see the soldiers fighting against thousands of black lizard-like beast. Though it did not look that scary, its size and the poison from its bite is what makes it dangerous.

Shin Jiao saw many soldiers have already fallen along with those beasts on the ground. The path is literally littered with corpses.

They push through and continue until they were able to pass towards the long bridge. Suddenly as Shin Jiao was running along with some of the soldiers. He suddenly felt danger. But before he could react, he saw a large claw appearing at the side of the stone bridge. The massive claws are the size of a regular human a.d.u.l.t.

When it appears it has immediately impaled some soldiers running at the side of the bridge. Then suddenly a massive head that looks like that of a snake suddenly appeared from the right side and immediately devoured those it caught.

Shin Jiao's eyes went wide in disbelief upon seeing this massive beast. If he has his power, then he would not be afraid of facing this thing. However, his personal strength is not strong enough to fight against it. Hence he felt a bit alarmed at this scene.

His figure suddenly run faster and overtook the rest of the fleeing soldiers in front of him. However, his speed actually attracted the beast as its huge eyes glared in his direction.

Shin Jiao did not bother with this as his goal is just to cross this bridge as fast as he could.

But then he suddenly saw a long tail spearing at the end of the bridge and sweeping towards his direction. Those soldiers at the front were caught by surprise and were immediately dragged. Then Shin Jiao immediately took a glance behind him and saw the creature opening its massive jaws.

It is preparing to devour those on the bridge in one fell swoop.

"What a glutton…" Shin Jiao scolded the beast in his mind.

But before the beast could do anything, Shin Jiao saw that at the edge of the bridge a man is calmly standing and a longbow is already in his hand. That man has already adjusted his sight, and then he suddenly released the bowstring.

The arrow embedded itself in the beast's eye almost in an instant.

This made it roar furiously and stopped its action. Those who saw this opportunity immediately continue running. However, some were very unfortunate as they were crushed as the beast's tail began to rampage.

Boom! Boom!

Splatter! Splatter!

Hundreds of soldiers became human paste upon being hit by the beast's tail as it angrily lashes out due to the pain.

Shin Jiao did not waste this opportunity and also run.

Yan Linwa has already nocks an arrow and is ready to release another one towards the rampaging beast. However, the shaking of the ground made it hard for him to balance his sight.

Then suddenly his expression change as he suddenly heard a loud cracking sound.

"Oh, no the bridge… the bridge is collapsing!" shouted Yan Linwa as he eyes the running soldiers.

All around him there are still many soldiers fighting against those smaller creatures. But his eyes are glued towards the figure of Shin Jiao who is still running away from the large beast.

Then he didn't hesitate any more and immediately release another arrow and hit the beast's head once again.

But this only angered the beast further and the rampaging intensified.

As this is happening, rocks from above started to fall down and hit both soldiers and beast alike.

Then the long bridge began to shake further and parts of it began to crumble.

Some soldiers who are unlucky fell with those rocks that crumbled. With an alarmed look on his face, Yan Linwa immediately panicked and began shouting.

"Run! Rung faster Doctor Ji!" he shouted while gesturing at Shin Jiao.

Shin Jiao is already running frantically while dodging the swing tail which is making the bridge crumble faster.

Then suddenly a loud rumble and the bridge began collapsing.

Yan Linwa's eyes went wide in horror as he saw the large beast falling with the bridge along with the many soldiers still on it. His expression turned helpless upon seeing that the young Doctor Ji is amongst those that are falling into the dark chasm.

"No!!!" he shouted.

Doctor Ji has been his friend in these past few days and he truly admires the skill of the young doctor. Besides treating the patient and being a doctor, he found that this new friend of his is a skilled cook. He can make those beast meats become tasty just by adding some herbs which they would harvest from their surroundings.

In their journey, he truly respected this friend of his. Except for being a coward when it comes to danger, he truly admires him. He even thought of introducing him to his sister at home or even making him his sworn brother.

But now those ideas of his are slowly crumbling as he watches his friend falling.

Yan Linwa felt helpless but is still not resigned. So he quickly walked towards the edge of the cliff. Although he knew that it was all for naught he just wanted to hope that if ever there is a small miracle or a chance, he would grab unto it to save this new friend of his.

As soon as he stood at the edge of the cliff he immediately turned his sight down.

And what he saw truly surprise him.

Who would have known that he would see a figure clinging on the cliffside with a sword in his hand? He didn't care how he did it but what's important is that his friend is safe.

But before he could heave a sigh of relief, he suddenly saw those black monsters crawling towards the clinging Doctor Ji.

So without hesitation, he began targeting those creatures one by one.

Then some of the soldiers who saw this also throw down a rope and help the young doctor up.

After dragging him to safety everyone heaves a sigh of relief.

But not long after, they began to lament at those comrades of them who have died. Those who have survived immediately gathered themselves and walked out of the cave.

General Xang was able to survive and looks at the remaining soldier in front of him. His heart almost could not accept this result.

His massive army did not die in fighting against the enemy but instead because of those damnable beasts. This truly made him angry and sad at the same time. But what could he do? With thousands dead and many still left and wounded, just silently stood on the spot and his gaze turned solemn and grave.

The gloomy atmosphere are everywhere in the camp until they were greeted by a large number of soldiers coming from the border garrison of the Golden Dragon Empire.

Shin Jiao who is expecting this scene, just shook his head in silence. In his mind, an adage appears.

"In every action, there is surely an equivalent consequence…"
