655 The Rule-Breaking Bottle Gourd (1/2)
A terrifying pressure descended from the sky, as though there was a Taishan Mountain pressing down on Mo Wen. He couldn't even breathe properly.
A Cyan Light Eagle! It was a pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beast and a mutated monstrous beast with Inherent Skills. It was far stronger than the common pinnacle of seventh rank monstrous beasts.
This terrifying monstrous beast had just rescued the ape demon from the hands of Mo Wen.
Was it one of the Four Lords of the ancient city?
Mo Wen stared at the gigantic Cyan Light Eagle from afar. He knew that it was likely to be one of the Four Lords of the ancient city which had been mentioned in the mission briefing he had received earlier.
The Beast Kings had fallen into a deep slumber. Hence, the most powerful figures in the ancient city were the Four Lords.
He had not expected that among the Four Lords, there would actually an overlord of the sky, the Cyan Light Eagle. Bird type monstrous beasts were undoubtedly harder to deal with than many of the other creatures in this place.
Once the Cyan Light Eagle appeared, it flapped its wings furiously. Two cyan tornadoes suddenly shot up to the sky. Everywhere they passed by, things were cleanly swept away by them.
A cyan tornado furiously crashed into a house, instantly grounded it to dust.
Small amounts of debris filled the sky. A figure shrouded in blue light walked pathetically out of the cyan tornado. It stumbled as it walked, clearly having suffered a depressing loss.
”Huh? Gong Zhangyan!” The figure was none other than Gong Zhangyan!
His sudden appearance filled Mo Wen with surprise. He had not expected that Gong Zhangyan would be here. He must have been hiding in the house, though Mo Wen did not know why.
The other beam of cyan light swept towards a street. The street seemed to be empty. There was not a person in sight, but the cyan tornado still headed in that direction.
Strong winds swept past. Out of nowhere, a silhouette pathetically stumbled out. Mo Wen did not know what method the person had used to hide in the air. Even he had not noticed.
It was a woman. She was dressed in white and had a tall, slender and graceful figure. On her wrist, she wore a white pearl bracelet. Seven pearls kept emanating a gentle glow.
Pei Fengwu!
Mo Wen laughed bitterly. In the blink of an eye, he had actually encountered two familiar figures.
Why were they here? Could it be that they had triggered and accepted the hidden task as he had done?
There were four people in this hidden task. That meant that, as well as Mo Wen, Pei Fengwu, and Gong Zhangyan, there must be another person.
Mo Wen quickly looked towards the northwest direction of the ancient city. The battle over there was getting more and more intense. The fourth person must be there.
Mo Wen's gaze swept towards the altar in the center of the city. The white jade box quietly floated in the air, emanating a gentle glow.
They only needed to steal the white jade box to complete the task.
The white jade box was placed so obviously. On the surface, it did not seem to be a difficult task. After all, their task was to just steal the box, not to battle the monstrous beasts in the city to the death.
After Gong Zhangyan appeared, he looked ferociously at the Cyan Light Eagle in the sky. Then, with a flash of his silhouette, he suddenly dashed towards the altar in the center, aiming to steal the white jade box.
On the other side, Pei Fengwu's gaze was also fixed on the white jade box. With a step, she nimbly flew above the street. Her goal was also the altar in the center.
Rumble!
In the northwest corner, a golden light suddenly shot out of the night sky. Everywhere it passed was a massacre. The monstrous beasts that were in the path of the light were all turned to dust, becoming specks of starlight.
The golden silhouette had just appeared, when it also turned and dashed towards the center altar.
Mo Wen actually also recognized the golden silhouette. It was Hou Jingfeng who had nearly died at Mo Wen's hands earlier on.
Right now, Hou Jingfeng's aura was very powerful. Not only was it completely unsealed, but it also seemed to be even stronger.
Mo Wen also discovered that Pei Fengwu and Gong Zhangyan's cultivation had reached the later stage of the Golden Elixir realm.
The Game of Death had only been going on for half a day, and they had already made such huge progress. It made even Mo Wen somewhat astonished.
To obtain his current cultivation, he did not know how many monstrous beasts he had killed. He had done so incessantly. From the looks of it, the other ancient martial art practitioners were not far behind him.
The four of them had seen their cultivation suppressed to the same realm and had been made to climb their way back up. Mo Wen considered the possibility that their youth gave them an advantage over the other practitioners also in the game.
The youths who had come to the Fire Domain were all geniuses among geniuses. Those senior ancient martial art practitioners were very powerful, almost all stronger than the youths. But that power had been cultivated over their entire lifetime. It naturally couldn't be directly compared with that of the youths.
If they were of the same age, the senior ancient martial art practitioners would not necessarily be more powerful than these youths.
Now that everyone was at the same starting point, the talents of the youth were limitless. This instead made it easier for them to stand out.
Caw! The next moment, the Cyan Light Eagle screeched.
Roar! Roar! Roar! Roar! All the monstrous beasts in the entire ancient city were riled up. Large packs of monstrous beasts blocked the roads, preventing the human ancient martial art practitioners from approaching the altar in the center of the city.
