All nine empresses betrayed me, why am I crying after being reborn as a saint?

The hidden arrow that shot out from the eighth door earlier injured Shui Lianyi who had been hiding behind the scenes.

As a result, the injured Shui Lianyi exposed his whereabouts and was knocked unconscious by Chen Yuan so easily.

Therefore, Chen Yuan, with the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest behind him, walked slowly towards the eighth door with some caution.

"Be careful, both of you."

Chen Yuan walked forward and gave reminders.

"what?"

Before the fat monk could say anything, the thin Taoist priest beside him hurriedly spoke.

"Fellow Daoist Chen, are you too timid? We opened seven doors before and we had no problems all the way."

"No, I always feel that this eighth door is chilly and even a little spooky, so we have to be extra careful."

Just as Chen Yuan walked forward nervously and put the golden key into the lock of the eighth door.

"what--"

A tiny gap appeared where the three of them were originally standing, and all of a sudden, the three of them fell into a black hole.

After the three fell into the black hole, they found themselves in a mysterious underground cave filled with cold mist and the walls flashed with strange light.

"Ahem, what bad luck! How come there is such a big hole hidden behind the eighth door?"

The fat monk lay on the ground, supported his waist, and suddenly felt sore all over. After all, he really didn't expect that they would suffer such pain.

The thin Taoist priest was pinned down by the fat monk, his face also showing a look of pain.

"Brother Fatty, please get up quickly. I'm the most miserable one. After all, I fell down first, and I was acting as a cushion under you."

"Ah, sorry, I didn't notice you, bro."

When the fat monk heard the sound coming from below him, he immediately stood up and helped the thin Taoist priest to stand up.

When Chen Yuan landed on the ground, he performed the Burning Heaven Blood Curse, so he didn't suffer much and landed lightly.

He calmed himself down and took out a torch to illuminate the surroundings.

"There seems to be some secret hidden here." Chen Yuan said as he looked at the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest and walked forward.

"Come with me and look ahead."

"it is good."

But they couldn't wait any longer, the three of them were preparing to explore what was in the cave.

Suddenly, a huge black and furry monster jumped out from the shadows and attacked them with its fangs and claws bared.

"Ah, what?"

The fat monk was stunned and confused for a moment.

"Be careful."

Upon seeing this, the thin Taoist priest immediately rushed towards the fat monk, arguing and rolling to the side, and the two of them avoided the monster's huge claws.

"Don't be afraid, it turns out this is a super big black bear."

Chen Yuan used the torch to illuminate the front and instantly discovered that there was a huge black bear in front of him.

I saw that this black bear was different from ordinary black bears.

The black bear in front of me is three times larger than an ordinary black bear, with long, shiny black fur and a streak of white hair on its chest.

?It has a round head, large round ears, and short, sharp claws.

"Oh my god, how could there be such a big black bear here?"

Looking in the direction of Chen Yuan's torch, the thin Taoist priest was instantly impressed by how huge the black bear in front of him was.

"Yes, this is much bigger than an ordinary bear. Is it a fourth-grade monster?"

The fat monk also looked shocked.

Demonic beasts are equivalent to animals. Just like humans, they also have cultivation capabilities when they have practiced to a certain level.

Monsters generally have special "talents" or special "skills", so monsters of the same level are generally much more powerful than humans of the same level.

A first-level demon beast is equivalent to the Qi Refining stage of a cultivator.

Moreover, each level of monsters is divided into three levels: primary, intermediate, and advanced.

A level two demon beast is equivalent to the foundation-building stage of a cultivator.

The third level of demon beast is equivalent to the golden elixir stage of immortal cultivators, and it begins to have demon beast inner elixir.

Level 4 demon beasts are equivalent to the Nascent Soul stage of immortal cultivators. They understand human thoughts and can speak human language.

A level five demon beast is equivalent to the Divine Transformation Stage of a cultivator. Demon beasts at this level can cultivate into human forms.

A level six demon beast is equivalent to the immortal cultivator's refining stage.

A seventh-level demon beast is equivalent to the fusion stage of a cultivator.

An eighth-level demon beast is equivalent to the Mahayana stage of a cultivator.

A ninth-level demon beast is equivalent to the Saint King stage of an immortal cultivator.

In his previous life, Chen Yuan was already at the Saint King level. Even when facing a Level 9 demon beast, he could kill it with his sword. Now, Chen Yuan has barely reached the peak of the Nascent Soul stage.

But the black bear in front of him was clearly a fourth-level upper-level monster, equivalent to the late stage of the Nascent Soul stage of a cultivator. Monsters of this level had inner elixir and could understand human language.

Moreover, this black bear's special "talent" skill is a pair of sharp claws, which can kill people without being seen.

There were already deep marks on the rock where the black bear had hit it. One can imagine how bloody and mangled the rock would have been if it had grabbed a person.

"Ah, I haven't eaten human flesh for a long time. I didn't expect you to deliver it to my door."

The black bear spoke human language.

Obviously, this also confirms that the black bears in front of them are at least level four demon beasts at the Nascent Soul stage.

"Humph, you little bear, you really managed to pretend to be nice. Let us have a good look at you."

"That's right, you are clearly a beast, you bear. You want to eat human flesh? That's wishful thinking."

The fat monk and the thin Taoist priest quickly attacked the black bear.

But unfortunately, this black bear is incredibly strong.

The attacks from the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest didn't even cause any injuries to the black bear.

It was just a tickle, which further stimulated the black bear's desire to attack people.

"This……"

Seeing this, the fat monk and the thin Taoist priest could not fight ruthlessly and could only fight and retreat at the same time.

"Hey, you bunch of humans waiting to be slaughtered, hitting me, isn't that just tickling Grandpa Bear? It's really ridiculous."

Although the black bear was huge in size, it could still run very fast. It used its sharp claws to attack the fat monk and the thin monk.

"Fuck, I can't take it anymore."

The fat monk couldn't run anymore, nor did he want to run anymore. He took out a diamond shield from his storage space and quickly fought back.

However, the black bear's claws left several marks on the diamond shield he took out.

This diamond shield showed signs of cracking.

"Don't panic, I'm here."

Seeing this, Chen Yuan quickly drew his sword and engaged in a fierce fight with the black bear.

When the black bear saw Chen Yuan drawing his sword to attack him, he became even more interested and snorted coldly.

……

"Originally, I wanted to deal with you later, but since you attacked me first, let Grandpa Bear enjoy you three."
