Chapter 193 – Rumor! (1/2)
He’d experienced a few battles today, so quite a bit of his profound energy had been consumed. Even though he wasn’t afraid of Darkbeasts in the Grand Myriad Mountains, it was still better to be careful. After all, Darkbeasts weren’t the most dangerous existences here, and it was humans instead. Especially the Ghost Sect and the monstrous geniuses of the other powers.
He’d experienced the strength of the Flower Palace’s Wenren Yue, yet he hadn’t met any of the renowned disciples from the Origin School and Imperial Academy who were superior to the Flower Palace. So, he had to maintain a peak state at all times.
The Ascension Rankings was related to his mother’s safety, so he had to be careful and couldn’t be careless at all!
The veil of night descended soundlessly. There were no stars or moon in the sky, and the entire Ascension Mountain Range was enveloped in darkness.
Aowu!
Suddenly, a resounding howl resounded. Along with the appearance of this howl, numerous howls resounded incessantly after it, and the sounds of howls rose and fell throughout the pitch black Ascension Mountain Range.
Even though the eyes of human profounders could see through the dark, there was no doubt that Darkbeasts had a greater advantage at night. Especially some special Darkbeasts like the Nightbirds that Yang Ye had encountered at the bottom of Death Abyss….
Besides the geniuses of the six great powers and Imperial Academy, the other human profounder that were partic.i.p.ating in the Ascension Rankings could be said to have no advantage before King Rank Darkbeasts, let alone when it was nighttime. So, when the sky gradually darkened, countless partic.i.p.ating profounders had found places to hide.
On the enormous tree, Yang Ye suddenly opened his eyes and remained silent for a while before he frowned. Because he noticed that three people were silently rus.h.i.+ng over in his direction.
When he turned to look at the violet mink on his shoulder, he noticed that the little fellow had fallen asleep. Yang Ye shook his head and laughed soundlessly. No wonder I only noticed them when they arrived 300m away. So, the little fellow fell asleep already.
Yang Ye hesitated for a moment, and then he decided to pay no attention to them. He felt that it was fine so long as they didn’t look for trouble with him.
In next to no time, the three of them had arrived before the tree that Yang Ye was hiding on. After a moment of silence, Yang Ye heard the voice of one of the men in the group. That man said, “Brothers, let’s rest here tonight. So long as we don’t make a huge commotion, then we probably won’t draw the attention of any King Rank Darkbeasts.”
One of the others frowned and said, “Brother Huang Qing, I feel like there’s something off about this place. Why don’t we look for a different place?”
The man called Huang Qing shook his head and said, “Brother Qing Hai, the entire Ascension Mountain Range feels off. I think this place is a good place to hide. Look at the surroundings, besides a few ancient trees, we can see everything in our surroundings. Even if we notice a King Rank Darkbeast, we can flee in the least amount of time.” When he spoke up to here, Huang Qing looked at the only woman in their group and said, “Junior Sister Hai Xue, what do you think?”
The woman called Hai Xue pondered deeply for a moment before she nodded and said, “Let’s do as Brother Huang said!”
Huang Qing smiled when he heard this, and then he said, “We’ll rest here tonight. Once dawn arrives tomorrow, we’ll go look for even more independent cultivators. These King Rank Darkbeasts are truly too formidable. With just the three of us, we can deal with them if we only encounter one or two Darkbeasts, but if we encounter a group, then all we can do is flee!”
As he spoke, he leaped up and descended onto a branch that was below Yang Ye. After that, the other man and the woman leaped up onto branches as well, and they utilized the branches and leaves to conceal themselves.
Their actions caused Yang Ye’s eyelids to twitch because if they leaped just a little bit higher, then blood would probably have to flow tonight….
After they leaped up onto the branches, the man called Qing Hai said in a low voice, “In the past, the Darkbeasts seem to have never formed groups. I wonder why the King Rank Darkbeasts have formed groups this time. It’s even to the extent that many Darkbeasts are even more united than us, humans. If all the King Rank Darkbeasts in Ascension Mountain Range unite, then all of us who are partic.i.p.ating in the Ascension Rankings this time would be in danger!”
Huang Qing nodded and said, “It really did exceed the expectations of everyone. In the past, not only would those Darkbeasts not unite with each other, they would even fight each other instead. But this time, all along the way, we’ve seen that practically all the Darkbeasts have formed groups and are rarely alone. This is very unusual!”
“Perhaps a leader has appeared amongst these King Rank Darkbeasts!” Meanwhile, Hai Xue who was comparatively quiet spoke abruptly.
