The daily life of the crew of "Beasts".

Chapter 256 The Theft

After navigating through a maze-like tunnel, they finally arrived at a huge cavern.

The cave remained pitch black, and the stalactites on the dome cast long, dark shadows in the beam of the flashlight, like traps or hidden weapons hanging overhead that could fall at any moment.

The ghost leading the way turned its arm, and a halo of light revealed a huge, ferocious chain. At the end of the chain was an iron ring, which tightly locked a yellow and black beast's claw.

"Hmm...it looks pretty impressive." Qiongqi patted Taotie's head and sighed.

"Why the hell are you talking and slapping my head? Get your hand out of my body right now!"

"Alright, alright, I'll go right now. By the way, do you have a key to this chain?"

The ghost leading the way shook its head and glanced to the side. "There's no such thing. It was lost all these years ago. Even if it wasn't lost, the lock is rusted and unusable after all these years."

"That makes sense," Qiongqi nodded.

The Taotie's sentence was calculated according to Heavenly Time, and the time difference between Heaven and Earth is well known to be significant.

This meant that before he had been imprisoned in Heaven for many years, the mortal realm and the underworld had undergone tremendous changes. Fortunately, the underworld still had records of the sealing location, otherwise they would not have been able to find it.

Both Taotie and Qiongqi held Taotie in utter contempt for its abilities.

You don't even know a basic skill of a great demon king like separating your body from your senses, so why are you using such a high-class sealing treatment?

"Big Sister is counting on you."

Huh, what the heck? Aren't you supposed to go first?

Taotie was a little confused, but at this moment Chaos had already strode forward and with a claw full of monstrous strength, the metal shackles twisted and deformed instantly like putty.

She grabbed both sides and tore them apart with all her might. With a sickening metallic snapping sound, the beasts stared in disbelief as the shackles were forcibly broken, and Chaos picked up Taotie's arm.

Even the Taotie itself was worried that the boss might accidentally break its own bones.

"Ah, as expected of the boss."

Qiongqi clapped, though he was mentally prepared, he still couldn't help but feel ashamed.

He could tell at a glance that the handcuffs were made of unusual materials, after all, they were meant to restrain ferocious beasts, but in Chaos's hands, they seemed to be no better than tofu.

"Um...you've taken what you wanted, shouldn't you be leaving now? Can you let me go?" The ghost leading the way wiped away his cold sweat, his hand holding the flashlight trembling slightly.

"Let's go then."

The group of beasts walked out, with the Taotie huffing and puffing as it supported its head with its fur.

Just as he was about to leave the cave, a sudden sensation came from a great distance. He stopped abruptly and frantically swung his arm, which was thousands of miles away.

"Damn it! What's moving on my body?"

"what?"

Hearing the sound, the beasts turned around in confusion. Tao Tao glanced at the beast claw carved in Chaos's mouth, but there was nothing unusual about it, nor was there any sign that it had been bitten off.

"What's gotten into you all of a sudden? Everything's fine now."

"It's not this one, it's the other claw! Holy crap! What the hell got in here? Get out! Get out!" Taotie explained, then suddenly his face contorted and he cursed, as if the situation on the other side was not good.

"Ong."

Where is his other paw?

Dijiang took out his phone and typed a question.

Qiongqi frowned. "If I remember correctly, it should be a prison... Wait, a prison? Brother, you're not going to get broken out of prison, are you?"

Meanwhile on the other side.

Ghosts No. 1 and No. 2 stared at the beast claws on the ground, which were now freed from their restraints and thrashing about like fish. Almost instinctively, they retreated to the corner of the wall, their spirits swaying precariously in terror.

"Hey boss, how can this thing still move? Is it still alive?"

The scarred-faced ghost slammed the stolen key to the ground, yelling, "How many times have I told you, don't fucking call me boss!"

"And who cares if he's alive or not? It's just an arm that's unconscious anyway. You hold it down and I'll possess it!"

"Boss, you're not going to get your consciousness twisted and cause the ferocious beast to resurrect, are you?"

"Stop talking nonsense and get on with it!"

"Oh oh oh oh!"

Two fierce ghosts rushed up, and the beastly claws that were flailing wildly all over the cell were instantly caught by the flying chains. Those were the same chains that were originally on his shackles.

Number 1 and Number 2 each grabbed one end and spun around the beast's claws at high speed. The iron chains wrapped around the beast again and again, rattling loudly as it struggled desperately.

"Are you all done yet? The jailer is almost here!"

An anxious urging came from outside the door. Ghost No. 1 and Ghost No. 2 grabbed the chains around the railing and pulled them tightly.

"Alright, boss, get going!"

The scarred-faced demon had already charged forward without needing any prompting.

The translucent body burrowed into the beast's claws bound by iron chains, and he immediately felt a surge of power, but what followed was fierce resistance!

"Damn, this thing is pretty tough to handle. You guys hold on a little longer!"

"The guards will be here in five minutes according to the patrol schedule, hurry up!!" Another impatient shout came from outside the door.

Two flowers bloom, each representing a different branch; let's look at the other side.

With Dijiang carrying the immobile Taowu and Taotao on his back, and Hun Dun leading the way by following the scent they left behind, the group of ferocious beasts swiftly traversed the cave tunnels, their hurried footsteps echoing continuously in the enclosed, tranquil space.

The next instant, a curse burst out, "What the hell is this thing? It keeps trying to get inside me, get out! Get out!"

"Damn it, they attacked from behind! Don't come in!! Don't go inside me, ahhhhh!!"

Qiongqi kept its head down and hurried on its way, while inwardly marveling at the Taotie's outrageous and rabid words.

"Damn it! What the hell is that cutting me?! Ouch! It hurts so much! Whoever you are, just you wait! I'm going to tear you apart alive!"

What's going on here? They can even bring torture instruments? Wait a minute! Are they facing off against ghost soldiers?!

the other side.

A beast claw, enlarged to the size of a giant pillar, rampaged through the encirclement of ghost soldiers, its body pierced by countless blades but only leaving tiny wounds!

"Haha, boss, this divine beast remains are amazing! It feels like it has inexhaustible power!"

Four ghosts were hiding inside. Ghost No. 2 was splashing wildly, its inexhaustible divine power causing its excited soul to twist and dance. However, it was hit hard by its boss in the blink of an eye.

"Stop playing around and run! If we attract some big shots, we won't be able to handle it!"

"Oh, alright!"

The prisons of the underworld were converted from the 18 levels of hell. In order to reflect the concern of the ghost path and the progress and civilization of society, various hellish punishments are now rarely used unless necessary.

But not using it doesn't mean it's gone; the original advantages of the terrain and tools still exist.

The three demons who broke out of prison, along with a cooperating criminal evil spirit, charged headlong into the volcanic hell, the ice mountain hell, the knife mountain hell, and the boiling oil hell, relying on the indestructible nature of their beast claws. Meanwhile, the Taotie on the other side suffered endless torment!

As the group of beasts hurried along, they heard him shouting "Hot, hot, hot!" one moment, "Cold, cold, cold!" the next, and then he felt as if his claws were about to be boiled.

"This isn't a prison break, it's like the underworld is giving you a private punishment! And can you please keep your voice down? It's so noisy!" Tao Tao was right next to her, her brain buzzing from the incessant screams.

"Aaaaaah, you fucking try it! It hurts like hell! When can we get outside? I'll find out who he is, I'll bite him to death!!"

"Almost there! Ah, we're about to get out!" Qiongqi, who had been staring ahead, suddenly shouted when he saw a bright light.

The beasts perked up and sped up, quickly rushing out of the cave.

Qiongqi immediately picked up his phone, and after confirming that Chengxin had a signal, he made a call to Hell, "Hey! My brother feels something's wrong with his limbs, what's going on?!"

There was a long silence on the other end.

"Hmm... Four petty thieves stole your friend's limbs and are trying to escape. But don't worry, we'll catch him right away!"

"What?!!"

Taotie's ears immediately exploded upon hearing the content coming from the other end of the phone.

"I was imprisoned for so many years and nothing happened to me, but as soon as I got out, trouble ensued! Are you kidding me?"

"How could that be! It's just a coincidence! Just a coincidence!"

"I just happened to meet you [beep]"

Taotie angrily unleashed a torrent of profanities.

By the time they rushed to Hell, the thieves had already vanished. The warden, in charge of the matter, apologized profusely, but by then it was too late.

Taotie gritted its teeth and glared fiercely at the other party, then reincarnated with a different face and looked pitifully at Chaos, "Big Sister. My body has been stolen, and I can only rely on you to help me find it back!"

"Ouch?"

The warden took off his hat and wiped away his cold sweat. Upon learning that Chaos had a keen sense of smell and could track him, he immediately sent people to find the four vengeful ghosts' commonly used items.

The three ghosts had only been in prison for a short time. Because their stay was so short, they left almost no scent, and Chaos shook his head after smelling them.

However, their collaborator had been in prison long enough that Chaos claimed it could be tracked down.

When the ferocious beasts approached, Taotie left its scent, making it easy to confuse them by directly tracking their claws. With another scent as an aid, Chaos sniffed the ground twice and quickly led the beasts in pursuit.

Underworld Commercial Street.

The three vengeful ghosts parted ways with the prison evil spirits in the dark alley. They found a piece of black cloth to wrap the Taotie beast's claws, and then disguised themselves as well.

"Boss, where are we going now?" Ghost Number One asked eagerly, wearing a fake beard.

“I bought a safe house nearby. We’ll go in and hide for a few months until things calm down before coming out. Then we’ll find a way to smuggle ourselves out, whether it’s to the underworld, hell, or the mortal realm. We can’t stay in the underworld.”

On the bustling main street of the commercial district, Di Ting suddenly received a phone call from his subordinate.
