Catastrophe Card King

Chapter 1669: Chapter 507 This is truly a great place for a bath Chapter 1669: Chapter 507 This is truly a great place for a bath The battle ended abruptly.

Leonard Churchill saw that the [Nether Peacock] was very familiar with the [Hell Human-faced Demon Spider], seizing the right moment for a critical strike that provided Sophia Jones with the opportunity to make the kill.

Counting the help she provided in the Illusion previously, this was the second time she had assisted.

Although reluctant, gratitude was present in Leonard’s heart.

Moreover, if he hadn’t misunderstood the spirit message from the peacock just now, did she mean that there’s danger beneath this cave?

If even an eighth-tier lord speaks of danger, Leonard dared not be negligent.

He looked at the beautiful countenance of the Nether Peacock and asked with his Mental Power, “Thanks for just now… um… is there danger down there?”

…

The peacock seemed aloof, originally having no desire to interact with the humans who almost killed her.

But due to the existence of the Spirit Contract, she also wanted to understand some matters through this human.

After a moment of contemplation, she finally responded, “It awoke once three hundred years ago. Back then, two great lords of the Abyss Sixteenth Layer fought fiercely over territory, which awakened the one within the Elemental Waterfall. What followed was months of hunting and predation, nearly wiping out the high-tier Living Creatures of the forest… And the cavern’s original, stronger [Seven-Colored Poison Centipede] lord died too, which later led to the occupation by the Human-faced Demon Spider clan…”

…

Upon hearing this, Leonard’s eyelids twitched uncontrollably.

Great lords?

How strong must a demon beast be to be called a great lord by the Nether Peacock?

Although there could be some deviation in understanding the spirit message, he more or less understood.

This secret tunnel did indeed lead to the sixteenth layer, but there seems to be some Overlord Level demon beast down there.

His curiosity piqued, he further inquired, “‘The one’ – what is it?”

The peacock’s expression showed distaste, as if she found this human overly inquisitive.

Yet she replied, “I do not know. Almost all who saw ‘the one’ awake are dead, including those of my lineage. I only know that ‘it’ has lived for a very long time, awakening once every few hundred years to feed and slaughters before falling back into slumber after satiation. Each of its hunting spells signals an extinction period for the creatures of the Abyss… In addition, there are more formidable beings in the Endless Abyss below the sixteenth layer…”

Before she could finish, it seemed she felt she shouldn’t be warning these detestable humans and cut herself off abruptly.

…

Hearing this, Leonard’s recently soothed eyelids twitched again inexplicably.

The amount of information was vast.

Had it not been for the Nether Peacock, a native lord, he would not have known about such terrifying creatures in the Death Domain Sixteenth Layer.

No wonder the peacock had stepped in to help earlier.

Leonard originally thought with the “existence” only awakening once every few hundred years, his luck couldn’t be that bad to encounter it.

But then he thought, the top experts from the Three Great Sects have been fighting down there for so long…

Hiss… Isn’t this like dancing on a bomb?

Watching Leonard’s expression, the peacock seemed to guess what he was thinking and scoffed, “You humans truly do not know whether to live or die…”

…

Leonard didn’t take it to heart.

It seems she grouped all humans into one faction, just as humans categorize all demon beasts into one faction.

However, danger aside, seeking death wasn’t a certainty.

Behind the Three Great Sects stood God Tier individuals, and their visit to the Death Domain was to stir trouble. If the Great Emperor Lanlingster’s summoning of the Golden Dragon God from the Underworld really succeeded, it’s hard to say who would be courting death.

…

The Nether Peacock was already seriously injured; just now, to prevent these humans from awakening ‘the one’ below, she had used her lifeblood technique to severely injure her nasty neighbor.

Now with Magical Power depleted, she could only rest wearily against the wall, absorbing the rich Elements from the air.

…

Seeing the still-bleeding wounds on her body made Leonard feel awkward.

The wounds were from when she was injured by the Magic Tower at the Firefly Camp, but more so from when she was beaten by Sophia Jones.

Thinking it over, Leonard produced several top-grade Healing Potions intending to ease the somewhat awkward atmosphere and said, “This is a healing potion; it should be useful for your injuries…”

But before he could finish, he was interrupted by a “humph.”

The peacock glanced coldly, showing no intention of acknowledging it.

Leonard just shrugged slightly, undeterred.

It was clear that despite living for hundreds of years, the Nether Peacock’s nature remained straightforward, making her thoughts plainly visible.

However, with such a knowledgeable person present, Leonard would not waste the opportunity.

No matter how many times the peacock rolled her eyes at him, he shamelessly inquired, “Um… your Nether Peacock clan has a Spirit Contract with the Garcia Family? Why are you here? I am good friends with the heir of the Garcia Family…”

His questioning was skillful, drawing connections while casually probing about past events.

The peacock originally didn’t want to care about this human’s fate.

However, upon hearing this, she hesitated momentarily and still responded, “My clan originally came from the Red Flame Hell; our ancestors signed a Spirit Contract with the strong ones of the Garcia Family… A long, long time ago, there was a great battle here, and my ancestor was summoned to aid in the battle, after which we stayed in this Abyss… I don’t quite remember the details… This Abyss is very unusual; once here, it’s hard to leave. It was only recently that an exit appeared, and then you humans came…”

…

Listening, Leonard wasn’t too surprised.

It sounded like the battle where Emperor Lanlingster was ambushed back then, summoning the peacock’s ancestor for aid?

So her lineage had already been living here for tens of thousands of years.
