A furious beast's roar shook the entire island. The group was instantly startled, and looks of horror spread across their faces. The second senior brother, dressed in a royal blue robe, hesitated. "That damned commoner... he couldn't have deliberately lured us here, could he? This roar… why does it sound so much like… like an Ancient Strange Beast? Like a Hou?"
The expression on the face of the white-clothed woman, Han Mei, grew grim. "It does sound like a Hou," she said in a low voice. "How could a descendant of such an Ancient Strange Beast possibly be on an island in a place like this?"
The other disciples of the Moon Shaking Immortal Palace had clearly heard of this creature as well, for the color drained from their faces.
The young junior sister in the yellow skirt had eyes filled with fear. "First Senior Sister… maybe… maybe we should leave. This place is terrifying!"
"Yes, First Senior Sister! If that thing really is a descendant of a Hou, we're no match for it at all!"
