Chapter 63 - 63 Unable to hide (1/2)

''Around the central mountain, there are also many other mountains, and most of them are filled with priceless treasures.'' Yong Ru said in a tone filled with desire.

Shun Long felt that something was wrong as he asked

''If there are so many treasures around the central mountain, then why haven't they all been picked by the various sect Elders, or at the very least the disciples who were here at the previous 'sect examination tests'?''

Yong Ru shook his head as he said

''Your words are slightly wrong here brother Shun. Actually this involves a big secret that my grandfather told me.

My grandfather is an Elder in the 'Roaring wind pavilion' and in the past, he and some other Elders, followed the pavilion master inside the Demonic Mountain Region to pick these very treasures.

That day, a terrifying magic beast at the peak of rank 4 emerged from the central mountain and as it attacked them, barely half of their group managed to escape that day, while the rest of them perished.

Ever since that day, no one above the earth grade has stepped foot inside the Demonic Mountain Region, in fear of being attacked by this magic beast. That is why this region is now used as the examination ground by our sects.

As for the mountains around the central mountain with their priceless treasures? All of them are guarded by magic beasts who are at least in the middle of rank 3 if not higher, hence why no one has managed to obtain any treasures from them.

However, the qi coming from the central mountain is much thicker than the qi inside any of our 4 sects, and that's the reason why every sect believes that there is a huge secret inside the central mountain.

However, with a peak rank 4 magic beast standing guard...''

As Yong Ru finished speaking, he sighed as he thought of the many unobtainable treasures that they couldn't be able to get their hands on.

''However, there is also a bout of good fortune even for us. Every 30 years, the central mountain erupts with pure qi, that enriches the atmosphere in the Demonic Mountain Region. The closer you are to the central mountain during the eruption, the more benefits you would be able to obtain if you manage to absorb the pure qi.''

As Yong Ru finished speaking, Shun Long said

''And yet, the closer you are to the central mountain, the bigger the danger to meet a high-rank magic beast right?''

''That is why I asked brother Shun if you wanted to come with us. We can better protect each other until we find a place to hide near the central mountain, while we will wait for the qi eruption to start.''

Shun Long nodded his head at Yong Ru's words as he said

''Traveling together doesn't sound so bad. We can at least go together until we reach the perimeter of the central mountain''

Everyone in the group was excited to hear that Shun Long would be joining them, as they would now have another strong person to rely on.

''Haha, thank you brother Shun. With you in our team, it will be an even more enjoyable journey!''
