Chapter 12 (2/2)

The two looked into direction of the sound, and they saw that giant bird scorching in a purple flaave a plaintive whine before it dropped out of the sky and fell into its demise

Hoas this happening? Chu Feng and Zhou Quan stared blankly at each other

Just then, it was full of is, the bird was poised for the height of the sky They thought that those beams of radiance was a show of its power and capability, but ould have guessed that it was a nition for a suicidal purpose

Puff!

It was a sound of explosion corated into round After a blinding blaze, the pieces beca profusely and disorderly

Did it just die like this? Chu Feng and Zhou Quan kept to theirwhile

”Bless us, the Holy Mountain of Taihang!”

At last, Zhou Quan broke the silence He clenched a fist in the other hand andHe also made a boith hands folded in front as a way to send his prayers Zhou Quan had becoe occurrences that had happened lately

Suddenly, the Taihang Mountains becaht with a body radiating an eerie red lu crocodile, but it had wings that could flutter It flew right in their direction

Boom!

As it approached near the outer bound of the ave out screeches of shrill cries that indicated its profound agony It fell fro into ashes

”Down goes another one!”

Chu Feng and Zhou Quan started to realize a certain pattern ”So it was not an act of suicide It's that no matter what, they cannot pass the outer boundary of the mountains”

The two stared at each other in uncertainty

”Should we go take a look?”

Drastic changes had brought the world a plethora of the unexpected They knew that the world from noould perhaps become drastically different froe and nerves to take the initiative, they ht perhaps run into some ineffable opportunities at the start of this episode of major mishaps and acquire abilities beyond mankind's capability

Of course, as the old saying went, ”no pain, no gain” There were great risks that associated with their intent to exploit this opportunity; the risk of losing a limb or two or even death

It was not to say that they didn't have the courage to step into the unknown, but they were certainly concerned However, though they would not enter theat this point could hold back their urge to walk a few miles towards the mountains They wanted to be sure what caused the incineration of those beasts

It did not seem far at all, but it took theround was plentifully bestreith ashes, broken bones and mented tissues and feathers Those were the parts that had partly survived the inferno blaze

Clueless as to why, Zhou Quan could not stop his legs fro His calf muscle cramped and felt enfeebled Zhou Quan could barely stand still

Chu Feng also felt uneasy He felt like being watched by so behind his back His body stiffened, his hair stood on end, and his eyelids twitched involuntarily

The two took a deep breath and continuously retreated from the site They now felt how simple and stupid their initial idea was They started to coer the ones that they were once familiar with These were the mountains that no one should ever come close to

Only moments later, after they had hidden thelobes of lights, the size of lanterns, e one after another at where they just stood Some appeared bloodily red, so shi+ne, but all share the saly cold look

Their nu the place

”Eyes! Those are eyes! Whoever belonged to them want to come out!” Zhou Quan made an unearthly cry under his breath He was blind with terror

Oddly, that particular place was extremely dark While soe were lustrous with reflection of the starry sky, for that one specific site, it seehts had been absorbed and none could be reflected Only those hollow and terrifying eyes were visible

”Pong!”

Suddenly, so It treround and shi+vered the forests Leaves were rustling down It was a rather horrific scene to behold

However, just like that of the previous few times, as soon as it stepped out of the outer boundary, its body ruptured and disintegrated, then it burst into fla but ashes

”Are they purposely doing this to kill themselves? How stupid!” Zhou Quan mumbled He sounded like he was at ease, but in fact, both of his legs were still shi+vering in fear

Soon afterwards, a streak of deafening roar sounded before another string of anied towards the outer boundary of the mountains There were even silver spiders in the size of a house crawling in towards Chu Feng and Zhou Quan But all died the saraded into the same pile of despicable ashes

Nothing could come out alive

”Oh, the Holy Taihang Mountain!” Zhou Quan alratitude He felt ever so blessed

At long last, a hush fell on the pitch-black opening that every one of those celestial beings had taken as an exit to freedom to the outside world Little had they known, it was an entry to hell

Although it was quiet and serene with the prevailing perfect silence, those eyes of evil spirits still persisted by the exit point

Tranquility lingered until rays of golden glow suffused the vault of the heaven A golden aura e divine and sacred

It was a calf with a golden body Its lustrous hair glowed in the darkness The calf seeold Even its pupils and pair of tiny horns were gleaold

It did not have the clumsiness typical of a bovine anience and spiritualism One would have already known that this was indeed an otherworldly and extraordinary anilance

At the very least, no one would have ever seen a golden calf born in nature

It was dreadfully quiet at the exit Many pairs of biting cold eyes fixated theolden calf They wanted to see the calf leaving unscathed

One step, two steps ten steps one hundred steps!

That calf was intact throughout the process It was unharh its daunting attempt to escape

The calf was very much excited To their surprise, it had the ability to express itsIts courage greatened It started picking up speed, beco bolder and bolder

Zhou Quan cursed under his breath He was a bit worried, but he was also teolden body It must have its own subtlety that can help us Look how small it is Can we capture it?”
