624 Trespassing the City (2/2)
However, they faced a new danger when walking on the ground. Before them, there were countless monstrous beasts blocking the city streets. Once an ancient martial art practitioner entered, the monstrous beasts would immediately swarm over from all directions.
The Golden Dragon Sect ancient martial art practitioner who had fallen into the city had already been surrounded by a large number of monstrous beasts. They swarmed out of the buildings and street corners, frenziedly attacking any human they could find.
Mo Wen flew in the air in front of the city gate. He glanced at the dense red wave of beasts in the city and rolled his eyes. No wonder the Dragon Beast King had stuffed all the monstrous beasts into the ancient city. Its goal was most likely to block the human ancient martial art practitioners from getting close to the spiritual fire.
The ancient city had an Anti-air Field. Once the monstrous beasts had blocked off the ground, the human ancient martial art practitioners would have to slaughter the creatures, cutting out a bloody path if they wanted to reach the city center.
These Beast Kings planned to use the lives of large numbers of monstrous beasts to hinder the human ancient martial art practitioners.
After all, the human ancient martial art practitioners that had the ability to reach the city were not weaklings. Although their numbers weren't many, each one of them was very powerful.
Mo Wen landed on the ground and entered the city through the southern city gate. The one step that he took looked undemanding, but with it, he traveled fifty to sixty meters. It was the Inch Travel Steps; one inch under his feet could cover a thousand miles.
With Mo Wen's current cultivation, he could already unleash the Inch Travel Steps to the pinnacle level that he had been able to in his previous life.
The streets of the ancient city were very wide, seemingly wider than roads in modern metropolitan cities. Mo Wen had just entered the city when monstrous beasts began to surround him from all directions. These monstrous beasts did not have high levels of cultivation. Most of them were third and fourth rank monstrous beasts. They were the main forces of the monstrous beast army.
Mo Wen did not begin slaughtering the monstrous beasts. Instead, he unleashed incredible movement techniques, nimbly slipping through the mass of monstrous beasts. The creatures could not even touch the corners of his clothes before he had quickly passed them.
Even when facing monstrous beasts, Mo Wen preferred not to kill. If he could avoid killing, he would. Also, fighting large numbers of monstrous beasts would undoubtedly increase his Inner Qi consumption, which would cause the speed that he was moving forwards at to decrease. It brought no benefit to him.
The goal of the Beast Kings was most likely to expend the human ancient martial art practitioners' Inner Qi. After all, it was almost impossible for monstrous beasts of these ranks to pose a threat to the lives of human ancient martial art practitioners.
With his incredible movement techniques, Mo Wen was like a fish in the water among the sea of monstrous beasts. He constantly moved forward, nimbly and smoothly. After fifteen minutes, he had traversed a large portion of the ancient city.
But the closer he came to the center of the ancient city, the stronger the monstrous beasts he encountered. A few fifth rank and sixth rank, even seventh rank monstrous beasts began to appear in his vision.
The appearance of these monstrous beasts finally caused Mo Wen's speed to slow down. Maybe one of these monstrous beasts would not have much effect on Mo Wen, but with so many monstrous beasts gathered together, the threat level was high.
The ancient city had six main roads, each of which led to the central square of the ancient city. Right now, on these six main roads, the silhouettes of human ancient martial art practitioners were everywhere. They were slaughtering their way through the sea of monstrous beasts as they moved forward.
Mo Wen took gigantic steps as he moved forward. His silhouette was like a fleeting shadow, constantly slipping pass the monstrous beasts. Occasionally he would attack once or twice, sending a few monstrous beasts that were blocking his way flying. Even a few seventh rank monstrous beasts could not stop him.
As time passed, Mo Wen got closer and closer to the center square. The monstrous beasts he encountered also got more powerful. The cultivation of some monstrous beasts in this area was no weaker than later stage Golden Elixir realm human ancient martial art practitioners. If ancient martial art practitioners such as Jiang Jingtao and Jiang Pingzhou got caught in such a wave of beasts, they absolutely would have perished.
Mo Wen, however, was proficient in movement techniques. He remained steady, still making his way forward.
Roar! Roar!
Suddenly, terrifying roars came from ahead. The sound was like rumbling thunder. It actually caused some smaller monstrous beasts in the surroundings to flip over on the ground from the shock.
Mo Wen glanced ahead. In the street in front of him, a few huge creatures had appeared. A Fire Ape covered in bloody red fur stood in the street. It was fifty meters tall, like a skyscraper. The Fire Ape's arms were very long, almost hanging down to the ground. A frightening aura was emanating from its body.
To the left of the Fire Ape, there was also a Fire Bull. The Fire Bull's shoulders stood at fifteen meters high. It was thirty meters long, and blazing flames covered its body. The aura it emanated was no weaker than the Fire Ape. The two monstrous beasts stood in the street, completely blocking it Mo Wen's path.
Mo Wen's expression turned somewhat serious. Although the two monstrous beasts were much weaker than the Beast Kings, they were certainly more powerful than ordinary pinnacle Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioners. Taking them head-on, he would most likely not be a match for them.
Right now, he was less than a kilometer away from the center square, but a real stumbling block had appeared. Getting past the two monstrous beasts was clearly not going to be easy. The Fire Ape and Fire Bull were certainly commanding the main force of monstrous beasts on the main roads. Their positions in the Fire Domain were most likely only second to the Beast Kings.
