Prime Originator

Roar!

Multiple Peak Paragons immediately leap at the bone grappling hook along with Dawnchaser, intending to destroy with mighty swipes of their claws.

However, the bone grappling hook was like a sentient being. It immediately detected the imminent threat and transformed itself into a near-liquid-like state to escape back into the hole.

Dawnchaser and the other Peak Paragons immediately halted their attacks after losing their targets.

Frowns hung on their faces as they were unable to determine what they had just encountered. They had never seen anything like it.

"Just what the heck was that thing? It looked like a big piece of bone, but I've never seen a bone that could freely move and change its state like that…" Goldblazer uttered with lingering shock.

Even after the bone escaped, a putrid stench remained in the air for a few breaths.

A disgusted look hung on every Paragon's face as they took a whiff of it.

"Don't let your guard down. Unless we seal the hole, that thing could come back any time," Dawnchaser warned everyone.

However, Dawnchaser had miscalculated. The eerie bone object did not need to come out of the hole.

The entire vine floor suddenly started shaking as if it was coming to life before the intertwined vines that comprised the seal unwinded themselves.

Dawnchaser and the Paragons in the area were quickly attacked by the vines, forcing them to retreat abruptly. They did not want to destroy the vines, which were all part of the seal.

But given the circumstance, the Paragons didn't have much choice. If they didn't fight back, they would get entangled by the vines.

"What the hell is this? Even the vines have come to life? This is so bizarre!" a Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni frowned before swiping at a few vines going after it.

The vines were easily torn under the Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni's sharp claws, but what followed after was a bizarre discovery.

"Are these really vines from the jungle? Why are they bleeding blue blood?!" Wildfire exclaimed with wide eyes.

The Paragons watched the blue blood ooze from the shredded vines before the blue blood came to life and escaped back into the hole like the previous bone object.

At the same time, several other Paragons were struck by the vines.

However, the vines were too weak to inflict any damage to the Paragon-level Golden Suannis' powerful bodies.

"Stop breaking the vines! You're destroying the seal!" a Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni shouted.

"Even if we don't destroy the seal, the seal will still undo itself! How are we supposed to stop that from happening?!" another Peak Paragon-level Golden Suanni asked.

Suddenly, they witnessed a Mid Paragon-level Golden Suanni get coiled in too many vines that it couldn't free itself.

It was quickly dragged towards the small hole like a helpless lamb about to be butchered.

Dawnchaser and the other Paragons tried to save it, but the hole suddenly expanded and swallowed the Mid Paragon-level Golden Suanni whole.

"Be careful! Don't get caught like him!"

"We need to save him!"

The Peak Paragon-level Golden Suannis were immediately divided in their priorities, causing chaos and disorder to spread through the crowd.

They didn't have a supreme leader that they could all listen to; everyone was entitled to their own opinions and thoughts on how to handle the situation.

Unfortunately, the Mid Paragon-level Golden Suanni that was dragged into the abyss couldn't afford such luxury as waiting until they sort their stuff out.

Before long, the Mid Paragon-level Golden Suanni's terrified cries echoed from the abyss until it turned ghastly and died down into silence.

A cold chill immediately numerous Paragons' hearts.

No one knew what was in the abyss or the fate that awaited the Mid Paragon-level Golden Suanni. However, they all presumed it was dead, killed by whatever was lurking in the abyss.

A Mid Paragon-level Golden Suanni died just like that, and no one saw how it happened.

Goldenstride's gaze turned serious along with many others at once.

The abyss beneath Gran Crevasse was far more dangerous than they had anticipated. It was no wonder that the surviving ancestors sealed it after a single failed exploration.

"Back, everyone! Get away from the abyss entrance! It's dangerous!" Dawnchaser roared as he created some distance from the hole.

Dawnchaser had given up on resealing the hole. They had long lost control of the vine seal to whatever was controlling it from the abyss.

As the Paragon-level Golden Suannis retreated, the vine seal was completely unraveled, creating a massive opening to the abyss as countless untangled vines plunged inside.

The Golden Suanni Clan's leaders did not get a chance to rest.

Within moments after the abyss entrance was completely opened, ghastly voices came from the abyss. Soon, countless humanoid creatures used the vines to climb out of the abyss.

"What the hell are they? Those aren't humans, are they…? No, humans definitely don't look like that!"

The humanoid creatures share strong resemblances to humans, but at the same time, they are anything but humans.

They might have the shape, but their appearances were jarringly different that anyone could tell them apart.

The humanoid creatures did not have any flesh. Rather, their flesh was completely replaced by hard white bone-like substances that protected their softer inner organs like ants' exoskeletons.

The only thing that did seem soft on their bodies' surface was their red eyes, which all radiated with extreme bloodlust when they looked at the Golden Suanni Clan.

Dawnchaser and the other Paragons were all spooked by their weirdness. They were definitely not the friendly type.

Skreeee!

The white humanoid creatures screamed with ghastly excitement.

In the next moment, the white humanoid creatures that climbed out of the abyss all charged at the nearest targets within their sights.

They did not consider the power difference that may exist between them and the Paragon-level Golden Suannis.

The white humanoid creatures just wanted to kill everything that moved to consume their flesh or die trying.

Dawnchaser and the other Paragons were all put off by the white humanoid creatures' extremely putrid smell.

However, they could only endure it as they stood their ground to face the growing army of white humanoid creatures.

"Enemy attack! Do not let them pass! We must by time for our young to evacuate from Gran Crevasse!" Dawnchaser barked.
