Chapter 354: Class 6 Magical Beas (2/2)
“That must be the Golden Unicorn Mercenaries, if you look up front, those are the captain and vice captains. It seems like they’re heading for the Thousand Poison Valley.”
Just as the Golden Unicorn Mercenaries rushed out, another group of men eagerly followed.
“That’s one of the strongest clans of Thacia City, the Huo Niao clan.” Another person cried out in shock.
“Even the patriarch of the clan is there, he’s one of the strongest three men in Thacia City. For an Earth Saint Master like him to run out in such a hurry, could something big have happened?” Another person spoke out.
Not even seconds after the Huo Niao clan had left, another group of horseback members flew towards the gate in a hurry. When Jian Chen saw these men, he had a shocked look on his face. This was because the person leading up front was the patriarch of the Lanming clan.
The moment the Lanming clan were about to run past Jian Chen, he walked out to block their path. Just as the Lanming clan were about to cry out in fury, when they saw it was Jian Chen that had blocked them, the angry scowls on their faces disappeared in an instant and were replaced with smiles and polite greetings.
Even the patriarch had a smile on his face, “Little brother, so you’re here?”
“Patriarch, seeing how much of a hurry you are in, did something happen?” Jian Chen asked.
The patriarch nodded his head, “Correct, yesterday night we came across some news that a heavily injured Class 6 Magical Beast appeared at Thousand Poison Valley 500 kilometers away. We’re on our way to that area now in fact. Earlier this morning, we had sent someone to invite you over, but there was no sign of you. With little time to spare, we could only have our servants tell you the message when you returned so that you could catch up with us later. Little brother, are you interested in coming with us to the Thousand Poison Valley?”
“So this was the reason?” Jian Chen muttered before finally replying to the patriarch’s question.
Afterward, another person let Jian Chen ride his horse before sharing a horse with another person.
Without any more words, the group began to travel toward the Thousand Poison Valley, leaving behind a group of confused mercenaries who stared at the receding figure of Jian Chen. “Just who is that person to have even the patriarch of the Lanming clan be so polite to him? Ai, if I had known earlier I would have tried to be friendlier with him.”
While Jian Chen and the Lanming clan continued to travel toward the valley in a mad rush, the patriarch continued to explain to Jian Chen all of the information he knew.
With Class 3 Magical Beast mounts, everyone quickly exited the city and continued on the roads with haste. After an hour, they had finally reached the place where they could see a gigantic mountain peak whose peaks were hidden by the clouds and fog. Each mountain peak was around 4000 meters tall, and a faint layer of poisonous fog could be seen swirling around.
On the outskirts of the valley, a group of a thousand people were already gathered densely on a flat clearing with tents everywhere.
The Lanming clan stopped a little ways away from the clearing before the patriarch handed Jian Chen a bottle, “Little brother, this is an antidote to this poison. Although the poison isn’t too strong it will limit our strength, if one spends their time too long here, the effects will show, so we may as well protect ourselves from it.”
Nodding his head, Jian Chen took a pill and then swallowed it as easily as eating a soybean.
The Lanming clan had everyone in their group swallow the pill before dismounting. Leaving behind two soldiers, everyone began to enter the poisonous valley.
Walking into a very dense area, it began to grow hard to differentiate just what direction they were walking in. But because there was a path made for them by the footprints of the ones before, all they had to do was follow this path in a straight line without deviation.
The weakest members there were all of the Great Saint Master realm, but their speed was still fast. Not too long after, their group finally reached the apex where they finally stopped in their paths. That was because there was already several hundred men gathered there with serious looks on their faces.
Jian Chen leaped nimbly on top of a tree branch and began to look up ahead only to see an entirely white tiger lazily sitting around with its eyes closed while protecting the cave behind it. The tiger wasn’t too big, only three meters long with white fur all over, contradicting the information from the mercenary in Thacia City. Right in front of the tiger was a giant pool of blood where hundreds of corpses littered the ground with their lifeless poses. Among these bodies was an Earth Saint Master.
