82 Chapter 82 - Second Field Station (1/2)
As Cheng Yang and others continue on their journey, the fighting became increasingly frequent. While at the same time, their equipment's durability also began to slowly decline.
”Lord, how much longer do we have to walk? If this goes on, some of the warriors might not have the strength left to lift up their shield. ”After a battle had finished, Liu Hao walked over to Cheng Yang and said.
Cheng Yang said: ”Don't worry, we'll be there soon. And when we return, the probability of encountering an enchanted beast will be much smaller. ”
Liu Hao didn't say anymore. As long as Cheng Yang use the original route when returning from the destination, he believed everything would be fine. After all, after killing the enchanted beast once, then under normal circumstances there will not appear another large group of enchanted beasts .
In this way, they walked for nearly a kilometer when Cheng Yang walking in the front suddenly stopped his movement.
In front of everyone's eyes was a hill, flanked on both sides by mountains reaching a few kilometers in height, extremely steep, and stretching to the remote distance. And in between these two peaks was a plain that is 10 km wide, with a broad river flowing through the middle, running away toward the distance.
This river was called Xiang River, or used to be anyway. However, after the earthquake that triggered the start of the apocalypse, the river was forcibly shifted. The location of Luo Feng village also used to have this river flowing besides it.
”We've finally arrived. ”Cheng Yang sighed out a deep breath.
Lee Wanshan surveyed the surroundings, then he asked: ”Lord, this is our destination? How come I don't see anything special about this place?”
Cheng Yang with a smile said: ”Of course, you don't see it. There are trees all over the place. You might see the area on both sides of the river bank, but deeper in, you can hardly see anything. ”
Lee Wanshan nodded his head. It seems the thing that Cheng Yang was looking for is inside of these woods.
Sure enough, Cheng Yang then make them continue along the river toward the east. Along the way they didn't encounter any enchanted beast.
After walking approximately 200 meters, Cheng Yang said in a low voice: ”You guys wait here, I'll go take a look at the situation first. ”
Having said that, and not waiting for the team to respond, Cheng Yang dove straight into the wood, advancing north.
Cheng Yang tried to tread lightly as he made his way forward. After walking a distance of four hundred to five hundred meters, he also didn't come across any enchanted beast's group. Regarding this, Cheng Yang not only wasn't surprised, but on the contrary became very calm.
That's because the thing he was looking for this time is a territory altar. According to the rules of the gods, prior to occupying the territory altar, the altar will have an unusual appeal to enchanted beasts. The enchanted beasts in the surroundings will be drawn toward it like bees would towards honey.
Cheng Yang hadn't been to this field station, so he had no choice but to depend on other people's description to slowly look for it.
Cheng Yang fumbled around in the forest for a full half-hour, before he finally heard some news of activity.
Two hundred meters ahead were occasionally transmitted coarse roars. This means that there are two possibilities. The first one is that he is at the edge of the altar's territory, and that the enchanted beasts here weren't drawn toward the altar. The second possibility is that he had arrived at the destination, and those roars were from the enchanted beast's group guarding the altar.
Cheng Yang quietly sneaked past, and look through the gaps between the trees. Finally, Cheng Yang saw the scene inside.
Indeed, it was quite a spectacular picture. In front of him was a flat, treeless plain, covering an area of at least one square kilometer. On this piece of flat land are densely packed with more than 10 various kinds of enchanted beast, the total was no less than 5,000 enchanted beasts.
In the central plain stood a dark-gray altar about three meters tall, its appearance was identical to the territory altar of Luo Feng village.
At this very moment, standing above the three meters altar was a black bear. Just the sight of it would let people know that it wasn't something that can be easily trifled with.
It stood on top of the altar, incessantly dancing, while the countless enchanted beasts beneath it followed the dance moves. It was like a mighty general giving a command to his army.
Cheng Yang didn't have much of a understanding on this bear-type enchanted beast, as it's a type of ferocious beast. In general, this kind of enchanted beast already possessed a strong strength at the beginning of the apocalypse, so they tend to not appear in the vicinity of the main cities.
Since this huge bear has appeared there, it probably had something to do with the territory altar.
In his last life, Luo Feng village had a first peak-order enchanted beast standing on top of the altar. It was also a ferocious beast. Moreover, it was a huge leopard, which gave off a stronger deterrent than this black bear.
However, the black bear in front shouldn't have reached the strength of first-peak order. At best, it was only at first-late order.
