136 Chapter 136 - Intense Figh (1/2)
Lord, why didn't you bring the little girl and her father?” After walking far, Liu Xiyue could not help but ask.
Cheng Yang said, ”I want to bring them, but all that will do is harm them instead of helping them. The degree of danger to this journey is unlike that around the territory. Taking two people with no combat ability along is just asking them to die.”
Their bodies shivered. Its seems that they had to reassess the danger level of this trip.
This narrow stone crevice was seven hundred to eight hundred meters long, but since it doesn't grow trees or thorns, the group of three actually walk much faster comparable to outside. In just a few minutes, they walked out of the stone crack.
As everyone continues to move forward, the enchanted beasts they met along grew greater in strength. Initially, some scattered enchanted beast's strength was only first medium-order, but now they would also occasionally encounter some enchanted beasts in the first late-order.
This wasn't the worst. One time the group of three met a herd of enchanted beasts that was led by a first peak-order monster. If Cheng Yang had not promptly discovered them and ordered Niu Bing and Liu Xiyue to retreat first, the two of them might have been in real danger.
Its seems the mountain crack they passed through was some sorts of boundary line. After crossing this crack, the difference in the enchanted beast's strength was like heaven and earth. The herd of enchanted beasts led by the first peak-order was in the end destroyed by Cheng Yang, but this encounter still left behind lingering fear in the minds of Niu Bing and Liu Xiyue.
”Lord, we should check to see what wild treasure this first peak-order monster is guarding. Maybe it will give us a good item like that Whitehead Eagle Leader we killed.” Liu Xiyue remained optimistic despite their situation and immediately thought of the possible benefits.
Cheng Yang shook his head with a bitter smile, ”This possibility isn't big. Around the main city, the appearance of a first peak-order enchanted beast at this stage will certainly be due to some kind of high-grade item, but when it's far away from the main city it's presence won't mean a guarantee treasure. Even if you see third-order or even fourth-order enchanted beast, it doesn't necessarily mean that there will be a wild treasure. ”
Even though Liu Xiyue didn't disagree with what Cheng Yang had said, she still ran toward the herd of enchanted beast's gathering place to make sure.
Niu Bing hurriedly asked: ”Yangzi, will this place really have third-order enchanted beast?”
Cheng Yang could hear the fear in Niu Bing's voice. He was currently only a first peak-order apprentice. If they really run into a third-order, they would probably have no chance of escape.
Cheng Yang replied, ”There is almost zero chance of this kind of enchanted beast appearing here, but there are definitely stronger monsters than third-order enchanted beast out there.” When he spoke this, he thought of the enormous flying monster that the flew by him when he first enter the Random Gate, which looks like a mythical winged dragon from the west.
Niu Bing suddenly stopped talking. It wasn't that he was afraid but because there was no more meaning in continuing to about third-order enchanted beast. Meeting one would mean death without any suspense anyway.
At this time, Liu Xiyue return from her search. And of course the result was that she came back empty-handed.
The three people once more walked seven to eight kilometers. On this section of the road encountering a first peak-order enchanted beast has almost become commonplace. Three times they found such monsters, two were avoided while the last one found them the same time they notice it. They were greeted with another fierce battle.
It was about 15-16 kilometers from Yi Cheng. However according to Cheng Yang's memory, the nearest field station's altar was only 12-13 kilometers away from them
According to the rules summed up by the people in the previous timeline, there would be no higher monster than first-order in two to three kilometers of the two field stations around Yi Cheng. He don't know if the rules were made like this, but in any case it was true. As long as it was a field station that appears within 100 kilometers of the main city, there would be no enchanted beast that would reach second order.
But the next kilometer no one knows what kind of monster would show up.
As Cheng Yang moved forward, he became even more cautious.
After trekking a long distance. Cheng Yang suddenly let out a loud shout, ”Stop!”
The other two immediately stopped in their track, Niu Bing lowly whispered to Cheng Yang, ”Yangzi, what's the matter?
Cheng Yang listened attentively for a moment, then said, ”Ahead has sounds of heavy objects colliding together. This should be noises of a fight.”
Fight! Niu Bing suddenly fiercely dumbfounded, ”Are there professions in this area?”
”It could be a civil war between the enchanted beasts,” Liu Xiyue suddenly said.
Cheng Yang shook his head and quickly rejected them. He said, ”It's absolutely impossible for there to be profession in this area. Also usually enchanted beast will not fight with each other.”
”Then what is it?” The two men asked in unison.
Cheng Yang replied nonchalantly, ”I don't know but if the enchanted beast encounter any special circumstances, life and death battle may also happen amongst them.... Wait here, I'll check it out. ”
Liu Xiyue and Niu Bing immediately nodded. They also knew that their strength was indeed lacking in front of more powerful enchanted beast.
Cheng Yang immediately asked the two to go find a hiding place, and then slowly went forward with his body slightly crouch.
