651 Light of Recovery (1/2)

Mo Wen was immediately exposed to the moonlight. At the same time, a terrifying aura swept across the heavens and earth, coming closer and closer to him. ”Oh no!” Mo Wen muttered to himself. He must have been discovered by an illusionary beast!

When he had chosen this place to hide in earlier, there had been no illusionary beasts anywhere near him. Mo Wen was also confident in his breath holding technique, meaning not even a martial arts grandmaster can discover him if they were far away enough. The only way a martial arts grandmaster could have found him was if they had stumbled across him by also choosing this cave to hide in. That was unlikely.

It must be that Mo Wen had been discovered by an illusionary beast which had approached him without any warning signs at all.

The beast that had located him was an extremely powerful one. The terrifying aura emanating from it made Mo Wen shudder. It was definitely an illusionary beast in the martial arts grandmaster class!

Mo Wen did not wait for the illusionary beast to dig open the cave completely. His figure flickered and a gold light enveloped his body. In the next moment, he was completely covered in a shimmering golden light, like a Golden Body Luohan. He scrambled up to the top of the cave and shattered the rocks that were blocking his way. Mo Wen turned into a ray of gold light and shot out from the mountain.

As he flew out, the cave collapsed completely. A strong force as he flew out crushed what remained of the cave, causing the surrounding rocks to be pulverized.

Mo Wen hurriedly turned to look behind him as he fled. He realized that there was an enormous being in front of where the cave had once stood. It was 60 meters tall and looked like a small moving mountain.

The enormous being was covered in brown fur. It was enveloped in grey light and Mo Wen could not see it clearly. However, he could tell that it was a bear-type monstrous beast. It was a brown bear that lived in the mountains.

The blood-thirstiness it exuded could almost cover the entire patch of forest. In terms of cultivation, it was just as powerful as the Fire Snake King and the Fire Scorpion King. It was probably only slightly weaker than the Giant Crocodile Beast King.

Mo Wen was no match for such a terrifying beast. He could only flee. He did not even hesitate before charging into the forest.

The bear quickly discovered that its prey had escaped and was trying to flee. It roared angrily and turned, stomping across a vast distance as it pursed Mo Wen.

The brown bear kept roaring angrily. The roars formed sound waves that spread wildly in the direction Mo Wen was running in.

The intangible soundwaves moved very quickly and were almost faster than the regular speed of sound. They caught up with Mo Wen in the blink of an eye and enveloped him. Mo Wen's body shook for a moment. Shaking off the effects, he continued to move forward.

The enormous brown bear had attacked him with sound waves, but even though Mo Wen's cultivation was not powerful, his soul power was far greater than that of a regular martial arts grandmaster. The roars of the enormous brown bear were too weak to do any damage to him.

The noise of the bear grew softer and softer. Fortunately for Mo Wen, a monstrous beast like the brown bear was not adept at speed. Mo Wen's double use of the Glory of Wind allowed him to completely shake the creature off.

Only Mo Wen would have been able to escape from the brown bear's pursuit so easily. Any other warrior would have found it very difficult to deal with the soundwave assaults of the brown bear, as well as having the necessary speed to escape.

The soundwave attack of a beast king was difficult to withstand even if the victim was a practitioner at the later stage of the Golden Elixir Realm.

Mo Wen became more vigilant after he fled from the pursuit. He found a secluded cave and prepared to cultivate his inner Qi. He was shocked when he was almost immediately discovered by another illusionary beast.

Furthermore, the monstrous beast that had discovered him this time was not a beast king, but a sixth rank monstrous beast with slightly slower cultivation levels. Its lack of power meant Mo Wen was able to swiftly kill the creature as soon as it entered the cave.

Mo Wen was surprised to face two attacks in such quick succession. Putting it down to coincidence, he looked forward to a calmer few hours ahead.

However, something unexpected happened. Less than 15 minutes later, another illusionary beast found him. This time, it was a low ranking fifth rank monstrous beast.

Mo Wen was now even more shocked. How could fifth and sixth rank illusionary beasts discover him? How were they managing to find him? The first time might have been chance, but he had now been discovered several times. It definitely wasn't an accident.

Mo Wen sat in the cave in shock. After about 10 minutes, another illusionary beast found him. It was as if it knew Mo Wen was hiding inside. It charged into the cave.

All in all, about seven or eight illusionary beasts discovered Mo Wen in less than an hour. Even though their cultivation levels were not high and they did not pose much of a threat to him, they affected his cultivation and the continual disruptions meant he could not recover his inner Qi.

Finally, Mo Wen sensed the ripple of a terrifying aura as it approached him from afar. Even though it was not a beast king, it was a monstrous beast at the top of the seventh rank. Mo Wen was no match for it.

There was nothing Mo Wen could do. He could only abandon the cave and flee.

Mo Wen found three or four caves one after another, but the results were all the same. Everywhere he went, he was discovered by illusionary beasts. It was as if the places he hid in were like lightbulbs in the dark night. He could not hide from the illusionary beasts at all.

”What's happening!”

Mo Wen fled from the cave again and flew onto a cliff. He looked down at the forest below with a dark expression.

After several attempts, he had reached the conclusion that he could not hide at all in this world. He would be discovered by illusionary beasts no matter where he went. He would get no chance to rest at all, much less replenish his inner Qi.

”If I can't recover my inner Qi, then doesn't that mean that this place will force every human warrior here to their death?”
