That was no mountain, but a huge head . It was around a hundred meters tall and was dirt-yellow, which caused it to look like a small mountain .
Looking behind that head, Long Chen saw that its body had to be at least a mile long, and its huge body was covered in scales .
Each scale was the size of a round table, and they were covered in cyan vein lines . Long Chen could sense a powerful wind energy coming from those scales .
“A body like a lizard, scales like a python, four pillar-like legs, and six toes on each foot . Is this the legendary Barbaric Wind Beast?”
Long Chen’s heart shook . Such a beast only existed within ancient texts . It had already gone extinct in the outside world . But he had ended up running into it here .
It was said the Barbaric Wind Beast was an extremely rare wind attribute Magical Beast that had a great control over wind energy . It was said to be an overlord amongst Magical Beasts that was unrivaled within the same realm .
“It still hasn’t formed a heaven-mark, so it hasn’t reached the Xiantian realm . Most likely it has reached the fifth rank . ”
When Magical Beasts reached the Xiantian realm, in other words, the sixth rank, a very clear mark would appear on their foreheads . That was called a heaven-mark, and it was easily distinguishable .
As for this Barbaric Wind Beast, it hadn’t reached the Xiantian realm, but just looking at its terrifying form, it had to have reached the fifth rank . That was a monster on the same level as the Meridian Opening realm .
However, this level of Magical Beast was something that would cause a headache even for Xiantian experts . There was zero chance that someone like Long Chen could handle it .
Although he was confident in his strength, that wasn’t stupid arrogance . He didn’t have the slightest urge to try and provoke this fifth rank Barbaric Wind Beast .
He saw that this Barbaric Wind Beast was in some kind of special state . It seemed it was ignoring everything happening around it .
“It’s absorbing the wind energy to cultivate!” Long Chen suddenly realized why it hadn’t done anything to him . At the same time, he sighed regretfully . With such a powerful beast guarding it, it seemed there really was no hope of him obtaining that huge wind spirit stone . He could only give up .
In order to not alarm it, Long Chen withdrew as quietly as he could . Only when the mountain of wind spirit stones blocked its vision of him did Long Chen finally sigh a breath of relief .
“A man who is never content is like a snake that tries to swallow an elephant . I’ve already obtained this many wind spirit stones . It should be enough . ” Long Chen consoled himself . “But is it really enough?” Long Chen couldn’t help feeling greed towards that huge wind spirit stone .
“f.u.c.k, stop trying to tempt me! I won’t look at you” Long Chen directly closed his eyes . You couldn’t want what you couldn’t see .
But even after closing his eyes, his divine sense still probed over that wind spirit stone . In fact, his divine sense allowed him to ‘see’ it even more clearly than his eyes . That huge wind spirit stone possessed an incredibly destructive energy .
“Ah… you really are trying to make me crazy . Long Chen, you blockhead, if you provoke this Barbaric Wind Beast, you’ll definitely die . You definitely can’t do something so stupid!”
Long Chen was practically roaring inside his head . Finally, it was with his greatest willpower that he managed to withdraw down his original path .
After several miles, he reached the valley he had come in from . As long as he went through here, he would lose sight of the wind spirit stone .
But it seemed Long Chen had been bespelled, and an irresistible force pulled him to a stop, and he couldn’t help turning back to look .
“Greed is a sin . Greed is a sin . Greed is a sin . Important things have to be said three times . ”
Long Chen sighed . With supreme willpower, he started going down another path . Since he couldn’t fight for that huge wind spirit stone, then he’d go searching for some more of the smaller wind spirit stones .
Perhaps the heavens had heard Long Chen’s complaints, or perhaps it was just that it had been too long since people had come here . After just a couple dozen miles, Long Chen obtained over ten thousand wind spirit stones . That consoled him slightly .
“Huh? There’s people ahead . ” Long Chen had gone down two mountain valleys when he sensed an anomaly . Although his line of sight did not extend even three hundred meters here, his divine sense had a range of over a mile . He managed to sense three figures slowly advancing .
“It’s Zhao Mingshan!” Killing intent suddenly filled Long Chen .
Of those three people, one was Zhao Mingshan, while the other one was also the other Chosen who had attacked Long Chen in the ancient tomb .
As for the third person, he was an extremely handsome young man wearing white robes .
Long Chen couldn’t help being shocked . That person’s aura was extremely powerful . His cultivation base had reached the ninth Heavenstage of Tendon Transformation, and each of his movements contained the mannerisms of an expert .
“This fellow is extremely strong . ” Long Chen sensed a great deal of pressure from this person . Apart from Yin Luo, he had rarely ever encountered such a thing . That was enough to prove this fellow was extremely powerful .
For some unknown reason, Long Chen felt as if he were somewhat familiar . But he was sure he hadn’t seen this person before .
