Spatial behemoths are a special kind of creature that lives in the void.
Their bodies are as hard as iron, impervious to the cutting of spatial wind blades.
They are massive, unafraid of the suction from spatial turbulence and the impact of spatial flow stones.
It is no exaggeration to say that they are natural flying ships traversing the void.
They typically operate in the deep void, rarely appearing near the continental barrier.
This is why Shangguan Yulin was so surprised to see a spatial behemoth here.
Rong Guang said with a grim expression, "Are we really that unlucky? How could we encounter something like a spatial behemoth?"
Xuan Yuan Xun also frowned, "Shouldn't spatial behemoths live in the deep void? Why are they here?"
Shen Liuxing also wondered, "Yes! This is the continental barrier, it really shouldn't appear here."
Zi Linling's mind raced as she looked at the spatial behemoth blocking the exit of the spatial rift.
She had a premonition that this spatial behemoth was unusual.
"Sister Zi, what should we do?"
Shen Liuxing looked at Zi Linling and asked.
"Yes, Miss Zi, this spatial behemoth is blocking the exit so perfectly, how can we get past?" Xuan Yuan Xun also asked.
Shangguan Yulin dismissed them, "How else can we get past? Fight our way through!"
His words immediately drew scornful looks from everyone.
Shen Liuxing: "Fight? How do we fight? This is a spatial behemoth, do you think it's an ordinary beast?"
Rong Guang: "Yes! Its defense is so strong that even spatial wind blades can't do anything to it, how can we kill it?"
Xuan Yuan Xun: "Exactly, although we have divine artifacts, it's very difficult to break through its physical defense!"
"Then what do we do? We can't just wait here! If this goes on, we'll be poked full of holes by the spatial wind blades ourselves!" Shangguan Yulin complained.
His words were not without reason, which plunged the group into thought.
Suddenly, Shen Liuxing said, "Hey, that's not right. We've been standing here for a long time, why isn't it moving?"
Xuan Yuan Xun said, "Yes! Given its temperament, it should have attacked us already, how can it be so quiet?"
Rong Guang said, "Indeed! It's so quiet, could it be asleep?"
Shangguan Yulin was amused, "Then shall we sneak past quietly?"
"Sneak? How do we sneak? It's blocking the entire exit, there's only a small gap below its mouth. Are you going to crawl through there? Wouldn't that be delivering yourself to its mouth to be eaten?" Rong Guang retorted.
"Then what do you suggest? We can't fight, we can't sneak, we can't move sideways, we can't move vertically, you should come up with a solution!" Shangguan Yulin said angrily.
"If I had a solution, would I be worrying here?" Rong Guang rolled her eyes at Shangguan Yulin.
"Then..."
"Enough, you two, stop arguing!"
Xuan Yuan Xun rubbed his temples, interrupting the argument between Shangguan Yulin and Rong Guang.
Shen Liuxing was about to mock the two of them when he suddenly realized that Zi Linling, who was beside him, was gone.
He quickly looked towards the spatial behemoth and discovered that Zi Linling had somehow crept up to its side.
"Sister Zi!"
He cried out in surprise and, without thinking, was about to chase after her.
Just then, Zi Linling turned her head and made a silencing gesture, indicating that he should not come.
Watching the woman he loved take such a risk, Shen Liuxing was extremely anxious.
As he was about to rush forward despite Zi Linling's obstruction, he heard her telepathically transmit, "Don't come!"
Then, Zi Linling tiptoed to the spatial behemoth's mouth and tried to see if she could crawl through the gap there.
At this moment, Xuan Yuan Xun, Shangguan Yulin, and Rong Guang stopped arguing and all looked at Zi Linling with concern.
To avoid disturbing Zi Linling, they even unconsciously held their breath.
But Zi Linling stood there, at a loss.
Because to crawl through that gap, she would have to climb over the spatial behemoth's two front claws.
The two front claws were like two hills, and a single mistake could startle the spatial behemoth.
Zi Linling took a deep breath and cautiously grabbed a scale on the spatial behemoth.
At that moment, the sleeping spatial behemoth stirred.
The hearts of all five people leaped into their throats.
Shen Liuxing was even prepared to rescue Zi Linling at any moment.
Fortunately, the spatial behemoth did not open its eyes, it only nudged the spot where Zi Linling was holding with its nose.
Xuan Yuan Xun and the other three breathed a sigh of relief. It turned out the spatial behemoth was itchy.
Zi Linling held her breath and quickly avoided the spatial behemoth's nose, climbing onto one of its giant claws.
The spatial behemoth seemed to be bothered by the itch and its nose nudged towards Zi Linling's position again.
To avoid being nudged, Zi Linling lowered her body and sat down, sliding to the other side in the process.
Unexpectedly, the spatial behemoth seemed tired of maintaining its previous position and shifted its body towards the exit.
Now, the gap was completely blocked.
For Zi Linling to get past, she would have to climb onto its neck and squeeze through from above.
However, the gap above was not large, and forcing her way through had a high chance of completely waking the spatial behemoth.
What to do now?
Watching the opportunity slip away before her eyes, Zi Linling was extremely frustrated.
She dejectedly retreated and said to the others, "Now, there are two options."
"First, we all increase our speed to the maximum and squeeze through the narrow gap on the spatial behemoth's neck before it fully awakens."
"Second, completely awaken the spatial behemoth, lure it away, and then seize an opportunity during the fight to escape."
"Both of these options are extremely risky. The first option is like delivering ourselves to the spatial behemoth's maw, with the constant danger of being swallowed."
"The second option means we will face a spatial behemoth at full power, and the opportunity to escape will be fleeting."
"Most importantly, regardless of which option we choose, we cannot go all out. Otherwise, if we cause spatial fluctuations, we will all perish here."
"In other words, no matter which option we choose, we must prioritize escape and not engage in prolonged combat. Now, let's discuss how to proceed."
After Zi Linling finished speaking, she waited for everyone's decision.
"My suggestion is to choose the first option, but be prepared for the second option at all times!"
Shen Liuxing said after thinking for a while.
"I agree with Boss Shen's proposal!" Xuan Yuan Xun said after some thought.
Rong Guang nodded and said, "Since that's the case, let's do it this way!"
Shangguan Yulin also said, "Let's do it. I have no objections."
