623 The Spaces Limi (1/2)
The Battle Halberd Tribe was one of the massive Barbarian tribes, with more than 2.8 million people in it, and more than three hundred thousand miles worth of ground. It was more like a nation than a tribe.
The Battle Halberd Tribe had more than one gathering grounds. Like the human race countries that had lots of cities, the tribe had been separated into dozens of small cities as well. In the middle of them all was the main city, called the Battle Halberd City.
The poison mountain that Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were looking for was indeed right next to that.
Around the mountain were so many barbarians that there would have a row of arrow towers every one thousand meters and a massive fort every five thousand meters. There were even flying beasts raised by them flying around in the sky as well, giving people the feeling that there were no gaps to get in at all.
Not far away from the mountain, two black shadows could be spotted vaguely as they blended with the shadows around them.
”There are too many of them…There are more flying beasts in the sky as well. There might even be hidden traps that we do not know of.” Ye Chen frowned. Facing this kind of situation, it was almost impossible to get in without being detected, since he would not use his soul power to scan the place. Even if he could, he might not be able to enter the poison mountain within that second and not let anyone find out.
”Let's go check out the other places.” Murong Qingcheng suggested.
After looking at different places, they found them to be just as secure as before. Some of the places were under even closer watch, which meant they were more important.
”We are not in a hurry for now. Let's wait for the night first.”
At night, Ye Chen would perform his shadow profound to its peak while Murong Qingcheng would use her darkness profound. With the help of the dark night, it should not be a problem for them to enter the poison mountain.
…
The night had arrived, and a broken moon slowly rose up into the sky. Lotus-shaped clouds were covering the moon, turning the ground pitch black.
”Now!”
The second the darkness took over the land, Ye Chen moved his body as like a beam of shadow, shooting out closest to the ground without making a sound. Meanwhile, Murong Qingcheng waved her wings, her demon power infused perfectly with the night under the effect of her darkness profound; she was also moving without a sound.
Without alarming anyone, the two successfully made it through the extremely poisonous qi and entered the poison mountain.
It was a massive mountain that seemed endless. There were some poisonous beasts and demons, but there were not too many of them, and their ranking was not that high.
Deep in the night...
The two had finally found where the Skull Flowers were .
”So many Skull flowers!”
Inside that not-so-big yet not-so-small valley were countless Skull Flowers, such that it would be impossible to count them all. On top of them, all of those Skulls looked extra creepy.
”Three thousand eight hundred years!”
”Four thousand five hundred!”
”Four thousand nine hundred!”
”Five thousand five hundred!”
”There are indeed more than five thousand years old Skull flowers.” Ye Chen scanned the area with his eyes and immediately spotted the relatively bigger ones. Those flowers leaked out a black qi which seemed like spilled ink.
”I found a six thousand years old Skull flower here as well.” Murong Qingcheng passed on a message via Zhen yuan.
Ye Chen replied, ”Take some more just in case.”
Pop!
The two did not have time to pick too many flowers when some of the surreal Skulls suddenly disappeared. It turned out that those Skulls were made of poisonous qi, and the Skulls were exactly where they were stored. Now that some of the oldest Skull flowers had been picked, they started to change immediately.
On top of a tall mountain far away, a beast that had an extreme sight had spotted the change within the valley. It started to roar, its voice sounding very powerful.
”Not good! Let's go!”
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng rushed out of the valley, shooting out while using their shadow and darkness profounds to hide their scent.
”Who is there?”
There were buildings inside the poison mountain, from which, a huge number of barbarians rushed out. The leading man were peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm warrior who seemed to have an extra powerful Zhen yuan vibration. Soon, that soul power started to scan the area where Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng were present.
It was obvious that although Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng had very powerful profound sense martial arts, they could still not escape from the detection of a peak level Late Sea of Souls Realm warrior, and were spotted by him almost immediately.
”Some humans have breached through! Get them immediately.”
The poison mountain was only hundred miles wide, and was more than enough for growing poisonous plants. But, Sea of Souls Realm powerful warriors could cover more than that area with the most causal detection. Right then, the barbarians used their soul power to send out messages to every other one.
”Damn! Humans dared to come to our poison mountain?”
All of the Sea of Souls Realm savage people outside were furious as they rushed to the pointed place, trying to blocking out the road in front of Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng.
Whoo!
Ye Chen and Murong Qingcheng had made it out of the poisonous mist, but what awaited them were actually countless shining sharp arrows or spear lights that were dense to the point of seeming solid.
”Darkness Sky!”
