Chapter 193 (2/2)

Hao Ren knew the husky was about to snap back and quickly pulled her back. “Hehehe, both her and Y’zaks were brought up on the plains. On top of that, they’re not pure-blooded…”

Of course she was not pure-blooded. There’s even 1/16 of Pekingese blood in her. This was not a lie. Hao Ren prided himself on being an honest man after all.

Becky then stepped ahead, “Right, let’s get down the mountain. Try to get to Leyton before nightfall. I don’t want to spend my night in the mountains.”

The climate on the western side of Dragonspine Ridge was just as Becky said, totally different from the eastern side. The arid eastern side barely had any vegetation, but towards the lake in the west, the vegetation was lush and the air much more humid. While the thought of this humidity originating from the strange lake may probably unnerve some, all in all, the climate of the western side was much, much more comfortable.

The rocks around them were also crawling with thin vines and resilient vegetation. And of course, the ubiquitous moss.

As the party was halfway down the mountain, Becky suddenly stopped. She pointed towards a cliff wall on the far end and exclaimed, “Look, over there!”

The whole party turned, and all they saw was a landslide, with moss, vines and tress toppled over the side of the cliff face, as if struck by God’s wrath. The only thing left was an almost 90° mountain wall. The landslide had pretty much created a stone wall right through the mountains. Grey boulders were scattered all over the place, and you could see dust by the foothills. It seemed that the landslide happened not too long ago.

Hao Ren swiftly recalled the loud crash they heard soon after ascending the mountain path. So, it was from the western side of the mountain?

Lily looked up towards the sky and remembered that it was rather cloudy when they first ascended. “Seems like the clouds reflected the sound and carried it all the way to the east side.”

Hao Ren coughed drily as he heard what Lily just said. He was wondering what the idiot was up to on that day. Was she that smart all along? That her idiocy was just a show?

It did not take long for Lily to disprove Hao Ren of his notion as she picked up a rock and threw it as hard as she could towards the far side of the mountain, trying to see if she could hit it. Hao Ren let out a sigh of relief. She was truly an idiot…

“A landslide on Dragonspine… This is not good…” Becky was muttering to herself, her voice quivering with fearful piety. Vivian quickly summoned a bat to scout the area as she had caught sight of something.

The bat quickly found what Vivian was looking for, and she made a big gulp. “Those rock monsters came from this part of the mountain, and there are definitely more than four!”

Along the mountain face was a series of specific indentations, they bore the hallmarks of a struggle. They resulted from rock monsters within the mountain, who struggled to free themselves. While Vivian had no opportunity to further check the rocks farther downhill, she did see many similar dents all across.

It was almost as if the mountains had come apart. How many of those monstrosities were there?
