Chapter 23 Gathering around the mountain (2/2)

'If I had your status and potential... then maybe...' Li Zhan could only complain deep inside himself...

Seeing his young brother attitude, Li Rong only scoffed at him. Then, he released his awareness all the way to the other side of the mountain. His awareness was truly strong... The young man exactly knew who has arrived at the other side...

'Those greedy trashes! You have Dark West Mountains and yet you come here?!' Li Rong roared inwardly!

Arriving at the other side of the mountain were three groups! Each lead by a young person. They were from Riveriam City, one of three strongholds of Umanu Continent like Bluedawn City. However, unlike the Bluedawn City, the families that govern the city are united. They have friendly competitions between themselves. But it's not like they wanted it, they were forced ever since ancient times... The Riveriam City is surrounded by rivers. As one can guess, those rivers are special. They are flowing from the Dark West Mountains, the forbidden area.

The forbidden area has been never fully explored. No one knows what's hiding deep inside the Dark West Mountains... The place itself as well as monsters living there are overfilled with energies, thus, they are good source of resources. Sometimes one can find a treasure that can change a life from these rivers... Of course, the further away one goes from the city, the more dangerous it is.

That's why!

The main objective of three great families from Riveriam City is to protect the dam. Not only it's their source of income, but monsters can only leave the Dark West Mountains by river, so it is also their main protection against those! The frequency of attacks is so big that families have to work together. Of course, bodies of these monsters are good material for equipment and their crystallized hearts are higher quality.

”We have arrived. The mythical beast is under this mountain.” the one who said it was Xie Tao. He was leading the guards and disciples that were under his family.

”Yes, and looks like that Li Rong has already noticed us. I bet he is screaming inside himself!” Gu Xinyi, the young miss of Gu Family said as she smiled mischievously. She as well was leading her people.

The third person was also a woman. She was from Duan Family, Duan Qiu. Clenching her sword, she focused her eyes on the mountain.

'We are going to fight seriously this time...' she thought inwardly. Although she and other young prodigies have been interacting ever since childhood, they never have fought seriously. Either their fights got stopped by their parents or they ended in draw as they hid their strength. But now, as they have grown up and have started moving on their own... Duan Qiu patted her sword and it responded by shining lightly. It was light that could be only seen by her.

Xie, Gu and Duan. Three main families of Riveriam City have arrived! Soon, the forces of Di Family and Blazing Institution have joined the gathering.
