Although the Floating Skill was amazing, its effect wouldn't last long. As soon as it wore off, the premium-stage Spiritual King landed on the ground between the burrows. Assuming that there was something dangerous hiding down the holes, he was very cautious about his movements. When he saw that nothing seemed to be coming out, he finally breathed a sigh of relief. He then turned around and taunted the members of the Lingji Clan and Wankong Clan, saying, "Look at you! Do you really call yourselves warriors? Don't be so afraid of these holes. Come on! Prove you're not a disgrace to your clans."
It seemed that his derision had actually worked on the people of the Lingji Clan because they ended up aggravated by what he said.
"Anita, this cave might be free from danger after all. Let's go and explore as well," a Spiritual King of the Lingji Clan urged their leader, who was a premium-stage Spiritual Emperor.
"Let's not rush. We can wait," Anita replied as she waved her hand. She was looking into the distance as though she was waiting for something to happen.
After his mockery, the premium-stage Spiritual King used his Floating Skill again to fly over the remaining burrows. Just as he passed a hole, a huge snake-like beast shadow suddenly emerged from under him, wriggling and rushing up from the dark.
The beast shadow then opened its mouth, revealing two rows of sharp teeth, and swallowed the floating premium-stage Spiritual King completely.
Right after its meal, the beast shadow silently went back into the giant burrow.
Everything happened so fast that most of people present were taken aback. They didn't expect that even a premium-stage Spiritual King would get killed so easily.
However, this scene came as no surprise to some Spiritual Emperors because they had gone through this experience many times before.
Meanwhile, the abrupt loss of a team member had left the members of the Xiayu Clan, especially Abdullah, stunned.
"The arrogant will end up hurting themselves. The unjust shall die," Anita swiftly commented, adding insult to injury.
Abdullah knew that her words were directed at him, but he chose to keep quiet and suck the humiliation up. After all, it was because of his carelessness that he quickly lost a subordinate.
Since it was Alex's first time in the Ethereal Valley, the cruel scene had overwhelmed her quite a bit. "It never occurred to me that this place could be so dangerous!"
Just as well, the other members of the different clans couldn't deny that the instant death they witnessed had made them feel scared.
'I guess the Ethereal Valley is more dangerous than the Holy Heaven Palace. This cruel trial makes me think the deities who created this place aren't so nice.' Even Rocky frowned slightly. Judging from what just happened before his eyes, he knew that the following trials would only get more terrifying as they went on. He realized that the Ethereal Valley was far too dangerous than what he initially imagined.
