Chapter 69 - Traversing the Bloody Wasteland (1/2)

Boundless and majestic mountains appeared one after another. They were completely grey and brown, and for an unknown reason, no vegetation grew within this area.

Along the way, there were many enormous rocks scattered on the mountain ground. They weighed from tens of thousands of jin to hundreds of thousands of jin.

When the little guy saw the hair on Hairy Ball’s body explode, he was amazed at first. However, after seeing it shiver all over, he felt a bit of fear. This was its instinctive sense, and it did not necessarily mean that it saw something.

The cold hair on its body was erect and its large eyes stared all over trying to find something, but it could not find anything after all.

“Hairy Ball, what did you find?” The little guy inquired.

The golden fist sized hairy ball was screeching as its large and round eyes stared. It didn’t know what was happening either, only that it instinctively felt a sense of danger as it fidgeted around restlessly.

Finally, the unicorn’s four hooves stamped on the spot and became restless as well. It felt a terrifying aura, and didn’t want to rush into the mountain range any further

Zhizhi… Suddenly Hairy Ball rushed out like a streak of golden light. It wanted to pass over the mountain ridges and enter the depths of the mountains.

“Hairy Ball, don’t be reckless!” The little guy shouted loudly and urged his mount to chase after it.

The unicorn was completely unwilling, but it couldn’t resist the little guy. Its entire horn flickered with silvery light and emitted crackling sounds as symbols converged together.

After rushing in several hundred li, Hairy Ball suddenly stopped. A wave of doubt appeared in its eyes as it lost its previous feeling of danger, and he began to calm down again.

The mountains ahead of them were full of vegetation, and ancient trees reached into the skies. It greatly contrasted with the barren mountains behind them, and life was flourishing here. Vegetation was rich, the chirping of birds could be heard, and ferocious beasts appeared.

Looking back, that grey brown colored mountain was lifeless. Without a single blade of grass growing, it made it appear even more desolate. There was an indescribable mist that surged forth, as if a devil’s den covered in endless years of dust was going to open.

“Ya, we passed through?” The little guy was shocked. He believed that there was danger in front of them, and never imagined that it actually came from that land without a single blade of grass.

Kacha.

A strange sound transmitted from the huge mountain behind them, and it sounded as if the ground was cracking. Large boulders were being shifted around, and close behind, hualala sounds could be heard from iron chains.

This sound was suddenly emitted from that lifeless land, and it sounded like the voices of demons from the depths of hell. Mist bubbled up as a wretched aura surged forth from that direction.

Suddenly, with a peng sound, several large mountains collapsed without the slightest warning, and a grey brown colored mist rose, terrifying everyone.

“That is…” The little guy opened his eyes wide. The unicorn he sat on began to tremble slightly, as if it was going to limp on the ground.

Hairy Ball screeched and jumped onto the little guy’s shoulders. It made threatening gestures towards that area over ten li away while being impatient and restless.

Several large mountains collapsed and the earth cracked open. Those pitch black cracks were so shockingly huge that even an entire mountain could fall through. However at this moment, a huge green claw reached out, but it was sealed in pure gold.

“Heavens, what kind of creature is this?” The little guy was astonished.

It was merely a claw, yet it was already bigger than several large mountains put together. Just by reaching out, it caused many huge mountains to collapse and the earth to crack.

The mist was like the ocean, and dust soared into the sky. Its huge claw stabbed high into the sky, and it was trying to struggle free with all its might; it was as if it wanted to break out of the ground.

Between the thick paws and those not so sharp claws, there was a layer of stone that practically sealed its claws. One could imagine that it had been trapped for many years.

The large claw violently struggled, and the sounds of rocks grinding became even louder. They resonated between the heaven and earth as the pure golden chain became taut. It was using all of its strength, making the chains created hualala sounds, as if it was a frightening song originating from the underworld.

Dong.

In the end, that huge green claw powerlessly fell down. Smoke and dust raised into the air as it disappeared beneath the floor. The sounds stopped as well, and the mist gradually retreated, leaving behind a terrifying area of destruction.

After a long while, there hadn’t been any more commotion, and it was almost as if nothing had happened in the first place.

The little guy’s mind was blown and was speechless for a long time. The great desolate lands indeed had many vicious birds and fierce beasts. After leaving just a few hundred li, he had already encountered such a huge creature. Furthermore, with Hairy Ball being so restless, that had to have been an incredibly powerful Supreme Being.

The golden Zhuyan was constantly angry. It gestured and grimaced at the chaotic land, and it looked as if it wanted to fight with that thing. The little guy directly grabbed that golden tail and carried it backwards, ignoring its resistance. He urged his unicorn to quickly run forward without stopping.

An early morning several days later, the little guy opened his eyes and washed himself in the mountain springs. After that, he ate some meat, drank some water, and took to the road again.

“Onward towards the direction of sunrise. Ancient country border, here I come!” The little guy clenched his little fists and encouraged himself.

During the course of several days, they advanced tens of thousands of li. With a creature like the unicorn, the speed of the journey was extremely fast. During this entire journey, they bore through valleys and climbed over mountains, avoiding quite a few vicious beasts.

Naturally, there were several unavoidable situations where battles occurred. Up until the current moment, they still hadn’t completely shaken off their pursuer. A five color striped bug had been chasing them for two days.

That descendant had perseverance. So long as the little guy’s group stopped, it would follow their scent and catch up. It endlessly chased after them.

This was a striped bug over ten meters long that had terrifying strength. It had rough skin and thick flesh, and it could spit a liquid from its mouth that was able to penetrate a mountain boulder.

According to the little guy’s speculations, this was much more powerful than that divine wolf from the Wolf Village. It comprehended the strength from a powerful mysterious symbol that caused its entire body to shine. The only thing to rejoice about was that it couldn’t catch up to the unicorn.

“Let’s go; otherwise, that big bug will kill us.” The little guy flipped himself onto his mount. He believed that after a few days of chasing and not sleeping, that big bug would eventually get tired and give up.

The Unicorn held its head high and released a long neigh as silvery light flickered all over its body.

Suddenly, the little guy became startled and said, “Quickly, it’s coming again.”

Pu.

As soon as they rushed out, a wave rushed over, and mist descended onto the mountain floor. Suddenly, all the ancient trees and mountain boulders melted. As chichi sounds rang out, they became white smoke.

With a weng sound, the area began to flicker with symbols, and like an inescapable net, it dropped towards this area.
