41 Trying to Intimidate Yue Wan (1/2)
Opening her eyes after a good nap, Sofie felt the wind brushing against her skin as she felt the surroundings passing by quickly.
The light from the artificial moon above shinned down and lit up the path ahead of her.
Looking around confused, Sofie remembered Yue Wan picking her up and carrying her up the mountain with Yang Meng running after them from behind.
”W-why are we… running…?” Sofie asked confusedly in a drowsy voice. Not having fully woken up from her earlier nap yet.
Yue Wan looked down at Sofie upon hearing her confused and sleepy voice.
Glancing at Yang Meng exhaustedly running besides her, Yue Wan cautiously looked behind them. Trying to see if there was anyone or anything following behind them.
”Let's take a quick break!” Yue Wan said in a low tone, almost sounding like a whisper.
”Hah… O-okay, b-but… Hah… W-we need to move out again soon…!” Yang Meng said as he exhaustedly laid down on the rough ground below him, trying to catch his breath.
”W-what is happening?” Sofie said in an even more confused voice, as she still had no clue why both Yue Wan and Yang Meng had started to run so franticly towards the top of the mountain earlier… She was too exhausted back then and could only think about sleeping…
Now that she was awake, Sofie wanted to find out what happened. The only thing she could think about were those rank 2 demon beasts… But they would not go after them directly and they were quite far away from them as well…
”We need to get away from the moonlight mountain as quickly as possible!” Yue Wan said with a determined look. Not showing any of her normal carefree expression.
”…But… Saving Sofie from strong demon beast… I will… definitely…!” Muttering something to herself while sending a fiery look towards Sofie. Yue Wan looked like she suddenly started struggling over something, so Sofie gave up waiting for her to answer and turned towards Yang Meng for help.
”The two… hah… rank 2 demon beasts will be able to leave… hah… the moonlight mountain as well, if they reach the top.” Yang Meng said, while breathing roughly, still exhausted from the earlier running.
”B-but why is that a problem? Is it not a good thing if the rank 2 demon beasts leave the moonlight mountain…?” Sofie asked in a confused over what part about the strong demon beasts leaving was a bad thing to them.
”The moonlight mountain only allows for people to exit a short time after the first one exits… Hah… therefore, we will be stuck here if one of the two demon beasts exited before us… hah…” Yang Meng said as he was slowly stabilising his breathing. Laying down on the rock filled, hard and uncomfortable ground seemed to work.
Maybe he cultivated earth qi or something related to earth, rocks or… mountains? Is there something called mountain qi?
Wondering over where her questions led her, Sofie could not really imagine something like mountain qi. The only image she could come up with, was qi looking the same as normal qi, just the size of a mountain… How such an enormous amount of qi would be absorbed by cultivators, Sofie had no clue about… Leaving her to believe that Yang Meng most likely cultivated something like earth qi.
The reason Sofie came to that conclusion, was because when she saw the miniature sun in the sky, Sofie felt herself growing a little stronger. This Led to Sofie drawing the conclusion, that if a person who cultivates a type of qi is in the presence of that qi, he or she will grow stronger or Yang Meng's case. Recover faster.
Sofie looked curiously around, but could not see any qi other than a few specks of qi in different colours… Maybe she could just not sense them as she cultivated fire qi?
Sofie thought to herself as she refused to believe such a large mountain had so little earth qi, there was more water qi and wind qi around compared to earth qi…
