Chapter 108: Ten Thousand Beast Mountain Changed (2/2)

Inside those strangely huge pupils, an enchanting flash of blue burned seductively.

……

At Ten Thousand Beast Mountain, it was already nightfall. The mountains were slowly being swallowed by darkness, leaving only a few dull rays of light to illuminate the surroundings.

On a mountain peak, there were a dozen or so people who had come to get some battle experience. They had just finished a long and arduous battle against a demonic beast, as they finally emerged victorious in the end and successfully beheaded the beast.

“Hehe, we really got a good harvest this time, big bro.”

The leader was a bulky man who seemed about forty years old, dressed in worn grey robes. He had a tough appearance and was at the initial stage of Transformation Realm. He was the only one at Transformation Realm in the group and the rest were all at Immersion Realm or even Origin Realm.

“Yeah, we really got a good harvest this time.” The large grey-robed man replied happily before shouting loudly, “Everyone, hurry and clean the battlefield. The sky’s already dark so we need to find somewhere to camp as quickly as possible. Night time in Ten Thousand Beast Mountain can be very dangerous.”

“Got it.” The group immediately replied back and started to sweep through the corpse. The most important thing was to get the demonic beast’s core and then the bones. There’s no need to talk about the demonic beast’s core. Who doesn’t know that it was the most valuable part of a demonic beast? The bones could be used to create various weapons and some of the meat was also harvested to serve as tonight’s dinner.

They had just finished cleaning the field and was about to find a place to set up camp when they suddenly heard a series of strange, thunderous roars.

The roars sounded like muffled thunder. Although they were not very loud, each cry was enough to make the world shake. Amidst these roars, they could feel the ground shake beneath them.

“I-is it a demonic beast?” Somebody asked with fear.

“No, it’s a human voice.” The grey-cloaked man’s tone was certain. He was viewed as the leader of the group and his face was still completely calm.

“Right, I also thought it was a human’s voice.” Another person with long ears that seemed very sensitive to sounds also spoke up, “It’s a lot of people releasing these noises at once. It seems to be about 10,000, no, 100,000, actually it kind of even seems closer to 200,000……”

Roar!!!

The bestial roar echoed once again as they felt the earth shake under their feet. It really did sound like loud booms were sounding from underneath them.

“200,000, it’s definitely 200,000.” The long-eared man shouted with alarm, “The voice is coming from inside the forbidden area, but how could there be so many people inside the forbidden area…”

“You must’ve heard wrongly. 200,000 people? How can there be so many people?” Somebody shouted with disbelief. Although he did not believe it, his face had already turned ashen from fear.

“Don’t make wild guesses. If there’s something wrong, there’ll definitely be treasure. There’s no guessing what treasure it could be. We should take a look.” The big, grey-robed man was very bold and wasn’t afraid like the others.

“Ah?” Some of the more cowardly people were not very willing.

“Riches and glory will always only be found in danger. Are we really so afraid just because of a few shouts?” The large grey-robed man’s voice was annoyed, “Don’t forget why we came to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain. Wasn’t it to learn through practical experience? What’s the point if you’re too afraid to do anything?”

“That’s right. If you’re afraid, you shouldn’t have come to Ten Thousand Beast Mountain.” Some of the other more courageous people also spoke up, “In any case, we should just follow the boss. If there is some magical treasure there, then hehe, big bro here wouldn’t treat us unfairly right?”

“Of course.” The grey-cloaked figure replied in a loud voice.

“All right, then we’ll all listen to big bro.” Right now, nobody dared to say that they were actually afraid as they didn’t want to be shamed. Now that they’ve talked up to this stage, they could only clench their teeth and go.

The grey robed man led the group into the forbidden area.

After a short while, the group arrived at the boundary of the forbidden area. With their superior eyesight as cultivators, they could clearly see the v-shaped entrance that led into the mountain. A stone tablet was erected inside, and a few eye grabbing words were engraved deeply into the stone: Demonic Yin Qi Forbidden Area. All those arrogant enough to enter shalt die.”

Inside, black qi was surging out in waves.

“Big bro, there doesn’t seem to be anything different there.” Somebody said in a low voice.

“Right, it seems very quiet. Hey, you long-eared person, didn’t you say that there were 200,000 people here earlier? 200,000 people your ass, all you can do is talk big. Those big ears are really useless on you.” Some people immediately began to mock the long-eared man.

“You’re the one that’s talking big!” The long-eared man cursed before replying, “How could Laozi have heard wrongly? I’ve always…” He suddenly stopped speaking as his face changed. “No way…?”

“What do you mean, did you hear something again?” Some people started to jeer at him again.

“I heard…run for it!!” The long-eared man suddenly released a fearful scream as if he had just seen a ghost.

However, nobody responded to his shout and instead just stared at him strangely. Had he gone mad? There was nothing so why would they run?

But very quickly, their strange expressions turned into ones of alarm. A harsh whistle suddenly rang out in the sky, causing them all to look up.

Reflected in their fearful eyes was a black, dotted mass that swallowed up the sky. They looked like locusts as they covered up the skies and the earth.

No, those weren’t locusts but swords. The sharp edges of the sword light glinted coldly.

“Quickly! Run!”

The grey-robed man was the first to see what the black mass was and a loud, alarmed shout tore out from his throat. The next moment, he had already flown away as fast as he could.
