Chapter 7: Solitary Ridge

Ling Town’s Herb Mountain was just a se of the Arctic Mountain Range

By contrast, the entirety of the vast Arctic Mountain Range spanned ions were not particularly cold; so year-round, very ideal for growing spirit plants and herbs

However, the deeper one delved into the e, the colder it became

That cold owed itself to the enorlaciers that were situated deeper into the range They reached far above the clouds and stayed frozen year-round, continuously releasing extensive a ridges to be exceedingly cold

The cluster of glacial peaks towards the deepest region was dee to rumors, it contained an abundance of rare spirit plants and ice crystals, all of them priceless cultivation treasures of which most martial practitioners could only dream

Since the days of old, a uardians protected the habitats of rare spirit plants; even the cold glaciers and snow peaks were no different Occupied by nuion was avoided by even the most valiant of martial practitioners Those that did travel in the Arctic Mountain Range would purposefully avoid this particular region, as they truly feared provoking theat the peaks

But that didn't e lacked spirit plants or spirit beasts; just that by co, and they were scattered everywhere Not only did martial practitioners put in a tre the spirit plants and spirit beasts, it also depended significantly on their luck

Unsurprisingly, the very saion was the center of many of the martial practitioners’ activities Martial practitioners fro Faion yearly, far froe rainfall, the es et and slippery, while the air was unusually fresh

Qin Lie, who had left Herb Mountain, followed the path towards the deeper ridges, his face revealing a hint of excitement even when his feet were heavily stained with hout these years, he had spent virtually all this ti Heavenly Thunder Eradication Not once had he broken his own rules, utterly sealing himself in closed-door cultivation

He was only fifteen years old after all Having gone through the dull training year in and year out, he was unable to contain the ihout his whole body and swept all his fatigue away because at this h the forests

“I should arrive at Solitary Ridge soon, hopefully the Rank One U the paths along the way, he made athat he would soon be nearing the Solitary Ridge that housed the U Condors, he willed himself to restrain his excite extra caution

The U Condors were only Rank One spirit beasts, possessing strength similar to that of a martial practitioner at the Refine sizes would definitely have different levels of strength, but even the largest U Condor would never reach the power of the Natal Opening Realest of their kind would never be a threat to hihtning as their tru the Heavenly Thunder Eradication for o so far as to expose his body to the power of the lighting from the Ninth Heaven, how could he possibly be scared of Rank One spirit beasts that used the power of lightning?

His wariness was only due to the fear ofother types of spirit beasts

An hour later, a ridge that was full of ancient trees gradually came into view The trees were all taller than ten e that coe appear oe

“Flap flap flap!”

The sound of wings flapping furiously echoed froe, accompanied by the screams and curses of a few youths

Qin Lie frowned, i aware that there wereCondors froht, he accelerated rapidly and charged up the slope towards theroup of seven youngseveral weapons like swords, sabres, bows, and harasps Their clothes were tattered and torn, with several bloodstains around their ar the U in the sky in a life and death battle

There were boththe seven martial practitioners, all of the, and they were clad in expensive clothing Their weapons all surged with spirit energies; evidently, spirit artifacts that were actually of quality One look was all that was needed to tell that their backgrounds were truly not simple

The leader was a blade His black, lengthy hair was flying all over the place as he wielded his longblade in a dance, sending out dazzling arcs of criure

They were surrounded byCondors The condors were all longer than two reyish-brown feathers and beaks as sharp as hooks Their short tail feathers were shaped like wedges, and their claws as sharp as anchors In each of their foreheads sat a blue pris continuously

The U Condors circled around the sky in a rapid fashi+on, initially assaulting thefrom the Beast Cores on their forehead When the martial practitioners became numb from the electric shock, the condors would i with their hook-like beaks and anchor-like claws that were capable of ripping prey apart, causing whosoever that was caught to scream miserably as their skin and flesh were torn fro the seven martial practitioners already laid five of the condors They looked like they were pierced by sharp weapons, while their feathers and blood were strewn all over The bodies of the seven martial practitioners were covered with scars and scrapes too It see for quite a while

The tea as one of them was stunned by the electric shocks, the other six would i their partner despite facing the risk of severe injury

As such, the U Condors were unable to pick anyone off in a short duration despite their co, drawn-out battle

“Pooh!” Tu Ze spat a feather fro rays of crimson and cursed, “damn our rotten luck to come across this bunch of feathered beasts! Everyone better stick closer and take extra care to not get separated If anyone hesitates to save their partners, I’ll personally skin you alive later!”

“Don’t worry, Big Brother Tu!”
