Chapter 40: Stone Tablet Road Sign (2/2)
Qin Jia Gui followed up: “That’s right, there’s certainly something up ahead otherwise there wouldn’t be a stone tablet here for no apparent reason. Let’s go, everyone speed up and let’s see what’s up ahead.”
The group became excited, maybe the arrowhead really led to the exit of the forest? Even if that were not the case they were still expectant of finding something.
The group of people who were originally lethargic felt invigorated as they immediately sped up.
Ding Shan who was still a little child was tired from constantly walking and upon noticing this, Zhou Bi Rong carried her onto her back.
Carrying a person was not a simple task and Ding Shan was already seven to eight years old, no longer that light as Zhou Bi Rong began to pant after a short while.
Noticing this, Su Yu walked forward and said: “Let me take over.”
Zhou Bi Rong gave him a grateful look as she handed Ding Shan over.
Ding Shan’s face was red as she softly said: “Big brother, sorry, I’m so useless.”
Su Yu smiled: “You’re a little kid, it’s normal.” rubbing Ding Shan’s head, he gave his backpack over to Zhang Zhong Mou before lifting Ding Shan onto his back.
Su Yu had the strange energy circulating within his body and having promoted to tier two dark iron warrior, carrying Ding Shan was a simple task and could not be counted for much.
Li Dong looked at Ding Shan as he frowned, he felt that bringing a kid along was a burden and since no one voiced it out, he did not say anything as he was not the one who was required to carry her.
The swift hurrying along the path caused them to cover quite a distance, however trees still sprawled endlessly in front of them. This forest was so vast and seemed without end, the initial excitement of the group gradually wore off as their speed began to slow down.
Qin Jia Gui’s mouth twitched as he wanted to say something to encourage the group, allowing their speed to increase when suddenly a loud ‘Kaboom!’ could be heard from the distant sky.
This sound was extremely frightening and the entire land seemed to be shaking and trembling, the group stopped in shock and a second ‘Kaboom!’ could be heard. This time, it seemed to be closer to them.
Following the second loud noise, Su Yu and the group lifted their heads as they saw a scene that would be carved in their minds forever.
Within the roiling clouds in the sky, a leg that seemed like the size of a mountain was breaking through the clouds and heavily falling to the ground.
The area where it was falling was over a hundred Zhang* away but even so, the force it brought with it was like a violent hurricane, sending everyone tumbling through the air and everyone felt like leaves within a squall, unable to control their bodies as they felt chills all over their body. The entire world seemed to be trembling and this frightening scene seemed like the end of the world is nigh.
