Chapter 31 - The Monster Race (1/2)

"The Beast God Ridge is a special place in the Great Wilderness, rumors say that within this 800 miles radius of land, there was a beast god that had fallen here, it's body turned into the Beast God Ridge. The Beast God Ridge is the paradise for the various kinds of mythical beasts that lived there, these beasts are known as monster beasts by the Qi Practitioners of the Swords Gate."

On the soul weapon Rainbow Clouds Carrier, Ting Lanyue said to Zhong Yue, "Junior martial brother, the monster beasts are beasts that cultivate, but they are low in intelligence. Some beasts can morph into human form; they are then classified as the monster race. It is quite interesting as we humans and the demons enter this world with our identities set in stone, but the monsters can only be classified as such when they start to cultivate. Those that can be classified as monsters are all Qi Practitioners, and they are strong and incredibly horrifying!"

Tao Daier laughed and continued, "But there are no Qi Practitioners in the Beast God Ridge. I heard that there is a sacred holy land of the monster race outside of Great Wilderness, but the Great Wilderness is the domain of humanity. With the Swords Gate guarding the Great Wilderness, the monsters dare not invade us. The mission given by the Swords Gate this time is a small matter to us."

"Tao-tao, you said you have smelled Junior Martial Brother Zhong before, how did you smell him?" Ting Lanyue gazed at Tao Daier and Zhong Yue, and she suddenly interjected banteringly.

"Yes yes!"

The other young ladies were excited, they laughed and asked, "Quick, tell us; how did you smell him?"

"Tao-tao, where did you smell Senior Martial Brother Zhong at, the face or the mouth? Or was it some other places…"

Tao Daier jumped up, and her face stiffened up, she stood with arms akimbo and said. "Make more noise, and I will throw all you down from the clouds!"

"Tao-tao is angry we caught her little tail."

One of the young ladies moved close to Tao Daier with her mouth pouted and laughed, "Did you smelled at him like this mouth to mouth?"

The lips of the two young ladies almost touched each other. Finally, Tao Daier's face couldn't help but blush red. She turned her head to the other side while the other young ladies laughed out loud, the sonorous laughter and sounds of chuckling resounded through the clouds.

Zhong Yue's face too was red due to the harassment, and he acted as if he had heard nothing and asked, "Senior martial sisters, how does it look like outside of the Great Wilderness?"

The young ladies looked at each other and shook their heads, one of the young ladies shook her head and said, "We don't know too, none of us had left the Great Wilderness before. But I hear that it is extremely dangerous, people were walking out of the Great Wilderness in the past, but none of them returned."

"Even more! I hear that the villagers living around the fringes of the Great Wilderness will often go missing, they were snatched away and eaten by the bad guys outside of the Great Wilderness!"

Zhong Yue looked at Yu Feiyan and asked, "Senior martial sister you are knowledgeable, have you been out there before?"

Yu Feiyan shook her head, "Not once, but there are Qi Practitioners of the You Yu Clan walking outside of the Great Wilderness. Out there… it is not a place for human habitation."

Not a place for humans to live, what kind of comment is this?

Zhong Yue furrowed his brows, and he asked Xin Huo. Xin Huo yawned and answered, "How would I know? Before I went into hibernation, there wasn't such a thing as the Great Wilderness or so. The ruler of the world is of your kind, the Fuxi Celestial Race. Who knew after I woke up, the Fuxi Celestial Race had now devolved into the human race. Even I am craving to know what happened during this period of time…"

In the Beast God Ridge, the steep and precipitous mountains stood high like swords piercing through the skies. The monster beasts took the Beast God Ridge as their breeding ground and their paradise. Not a single trace of human tribes could be found. The humans only exist outside of the Beast God Ridge. Often there would be human tribesmen hunting activities but only at the outer rings of the Beast God Ridge.

There were too many monster beasts in the Beast God Ridge, only a handful of courageous men were brave enough to enter it.

Right now, there were upward of twenty Swords Gate upper house disciples walking in the deepest part of the Beast God Ridge, with their soul weapons, they slew every monster beast they could see.

"Senior Martial Brother Han, this doesn't feel right, the monster beasts are getting fewer in number, but stronger!"

The over twenty disciples worked together and finally brought down a bovine monster.

The bovine monster was strong, and its cowhide was sturdy enough to withstand the salvo of soul weapons. The upper house disciples exhausted quite a bit of effort to kill it.

The carcass of the bovine monster was like a small mountain, they stood on it and overlooked the surroundings, they could see that the Beast Monster Ridge was shrouded within pink effluvia reminiscent of blooming mushrooms.

One of the young disciples cast his gaze around, he frowned and said to their leader Senior Martial Brother Han, "Senior martial brother, there is something wrong, this monster cow is too strong, there had never been monster beasts this strong appearing in places like Beast God Ridge!"

Another disciple smiled and answered him, "Junior martial brother you are overreacting, Senior Martial Brother Han is the strongest disciple in the male house, what kind of situation has he not met before? Even that Zhong Shan Clan member and Shui Tu Clan are clowns in Senior Martial Brother Han's eyes, they are small and petty!"

The Senior Martial Brother Han they spoke of was the strongest male disciple in the upper house, similar to the strongest female upper house disciple, Yu Feiyan. He smiled warmly and said, "Senior Martial Brother Shui Qinghe is strong, he might just be stronger than I am. As for the Zhong Shan Clan member, he still has some aspects he needs to improve on."

Suddenly, the effluvia at the front slightly parted, a young maiden slowly emerged within their visage as she ambled out to the front of the disciples. It was weird that she was dressed in pink clothes and in her hands gripped on a coalescence of mist that took the shape of a stick as if she were holding an umbrella or a mushroom covering her appearance.

But vaguely from part of the figure she exposed, she appeared to be only 14-15 years old.

"This junior martial sister, be careful, that miasma is poisonous!"

One of the male disciple shouted out, "Quick, get out of there!"

"Wait, something's not right!"
