Chapter 385 Black Phoenix Mountain Range (2/2)

”Oh my God, could it be that English really is the universal language?” exclaimed one of them in a hushed tone. His face was full of shock and disbelief.

Gao Peng's face twitched. It's not just English, I can even speak Mandarin.

After rescuing the group of them, Gao Peng asked them where they had come from. Apparently, a thousand miles away in the West of the Desolate Labyrinth was the ruins of a city, and within the ruins was a Spatial Rift.

That Spatial Rift led to the Lusaka base city.

A thousand miles, muttered Gao Peng. That distance wasn't that short but definitely not considered long—at least compared to the tens of thousands of miles on Earth, this was extremely close.

They could wait until after they got back from the Black Phoenix Mountain Range before making plans to open a route to Lusaka.

The group of men gave their thanks to Gao Peng over and over as they left, telling Gao Peng that he had to visit them in Lusaka if he had the chance. They would definitely give him their thanks properly then.

”Do you know about the city ruins there? Are there any strong monsters nearby?”

”I know. That used to be a human city, but it was left in ruins after. If you want to open a route along that direction, it shouldn't be too hard. There aren't many strong monsters on the way there. Around here, the stronger monsters are gathered around the Black Phoenix Mountain Range and Bloodtooth Lake. These two areas aren't in that direction.”

”Actually, the Desolate Labyrinth is actually a dangerous area as well,” said the Desolate Frost Lion in a prideful manner.

The humans were definitely not fools. If there was a dangerous area nearby, they definitely wouldn't have chosen that place to build a city.

Gao Peng just quietly nodded his head. Ignorance was bliss. The lion's life was already tough enough, so Gao Peng decided not to burst its bubble.

Gao Peng then went over to the bodies of the Labyrinth Watchers on the ground and put them inside Silly's personal dimension, as he had no intention for these to go to waste.

Currently, Silly's personal dimension was at least 1,000 to 1,300 square feet, akin to the size of a small warehouse. It was more than sufficient for housing a carcass.

Leaving the exit of the labyrinth, the Black Phoenix Mountain range was just around a thousand miles to the north. North of the labyrinth was a desolate plain covered in white grass. Each stalk of grass was six feet tall, and they swayed like waves as a gentle wind blew through them. They cut through the sea of grass, like a sharp little knife grazing across the surface of skin.

Rumble— Ahead of them, the sea of grass was tumbling, as though something was cruising through it at a high speed.

”Da Zi.” Gao Peng had Da Zi release its Lord Halo.

Under normal circumstances, a Lord-tier monster wouldn't release its halo, because maintaining it would require the expenditure of the body's internal elemental energy. But under other circumstances, when encountering other monsters, releasing the Lord Halo would serve the purpose of sending out a warning to other organisms.

The deep purple halo stained all the plants within a radius of a hundred yards. The white blades of grass were all dyed with a layer of pale purple light. The air was filled with a thin layer of electric elemental energy. Sensing the aura of a lord, nearby monsters hurriedly fled, avoiding plenty of possible conflicts.

Chichichi. The Treasure Sniffing Rodent as it excitedly sniffed the ground. Its large nose was plastered to the ground and twitching non-stop. After a moment, it ran back with a red block of wood in its mouth, running in front of Gao Peng.

In the next moment, it vanished again. The next time it came back, it returned with a piece of yellow rock in its mouth instead.

Heading north, three days passed this way in the blink of an eye. After the white sea of grass, they crossed an area with a thousand creeks. Gradually, a black mountain range began to appear on the horizon.

The peaks and valleys of the mountain range stretched on and on, like the broad back of a large black dragon, with no end in sight.

Looking at the top of the mountain range from afar, there seemed to be a thin layer of flames burning. It looked like it was a volcano. Perhaps that was the reason why this was called the Black Phoenix Mountain Range.

”I only know that the fruits come from the Black Phoenix Mountain Range, but where exactly, I'm not sure,” said the Desolate Frost Lion regretfully as it smacked its lips.

”It's all right. The locals living on the mountain range should definitely know,” chuckled Gao Peng.
