Su Ming moved forward cautiously within the Molten Fire Cave. He moved slowly towards the deeper parts of the cave. He was very cautious along the way. Only when he saw the path ahead of him would he move. As he moved, he held the horn in his hand. His eyes sparkled as he circulated the Qi in his body so that he could release the power of his 11 blood veins at any time.
Every time he moved forward, Su Ming would instinctively search for a place to hide his body so that he could hide if he ran into danger. Or if the Wings of the Moon suddenly returned, he would have a place to hide.
Su Ming might be curious about the unknown, but his cautiousness had mostly suppressed his curiosity, especially since there was danger in this place, which made him even more cautious.
As he continued moving forward, the coldness of the cave became clearer. There were very few forks in the cave, so Su Ming's speed gradually increased.
It was dark all around him. There were many cracks of different sizes on the walls. By the looks of it, they should have cracked due to the constant heat. However, Su Ming also noticed that some of the cracks had clearly just appeared, because the color of the walls within them was slightly different.
'That's strange. These cracks must have just appeared … Just what kind of power could cause new cracks to appear on the walls …' Su Ming's eyes flashed. A guess formed in his mind.
'Could it be that when the extreme heat cools down, an unimaginable power will erupt …' Su Ming scratched his head. He did not think too much about it. Instead, he memorized the phenomenon in his heart.
He did not know how long he had walked. It felt like time was passing by slowly. Suddenly, Su Ming stopped. The cave before him had clearly expanded. The deeper he went, the wider the cave became.
'Could it be that I've reached the deeper parts?' Su Ming looked around carefully and walked forward slowly. Before long, the cave before him became bigger. Eventually, Su Ming took a deep breath and looked at everything before him. He fell into deep thought.
Before him was a cave the size of his tribe. There were many small caves around him. They were densely packed together. With one glance, he saw that there were about a dozen of them. The cave he walked out of was one of them.
In silence, Su Ming moved forward. His eyes sparkled, and he cast a few more glances at each of the small holes. Eventually, a focused glint appeared in his eyes, and he jumped up. He stopped for a moment before all the small holes and sniffed them.
Once he walked past all the small holes, Su Ming stared at one of them and went in without any hesitation. This was the only hole where he could smell the faint stench of blood.
Obviously, this cave was where the Wings of the Moon flew out from.
As he charged forward, Su Ming would occasionally stop. With a pensive look in his eyes, he would use the horn to cut down a big stone from the wall around him. The size of the stone was similar to the tunnel.
Even if it was rather troublesome to cut them down, Su Ming still persisted. As he moved forward, he cut down a few more of these stones.
Every time he cut it off, he would place it aside according to the angle.
Gradually, Su Ming's speed became faster as he remained cautious. He could sense that he was heading towards the foot of the mountain, which was why the area he covered was becoming larger. Su Ming continued running deeper into the cave until he felt that he had traveled a long distance. Gradually, he saw a flash of red light before him.
The red light was like fire. When he looked at it, he could not even tell what it was.
The moment he saw the red light, Su Ming slowed down. His heart pounded against his chest. He had a feeling that this was the end of the tunnel. Yet as he got closer, he felt as if his blood was about to boil. He was not unfamiliar with this feeling …
There were numerous scratches on the sturdy stone walls around him. There were even some marks that looked like teeth had been bitten on the walls. It gave off a strange atmosphere and made Su Ming nervous, but he did not stop. Instead, he gradually walked towards the place where the fiery red light came from.
This was indeed the end of the tunnel. There was no other path ahead. There was only an even bigger cave. Su Ming's face was alert as he stood there and looked down.
The moment he looked down, he felt as if he had been struck by lightning. He stood there dumbfounded. He instinctively took a few steps back and sucked in a cold breath.
It was a giant basin. There were numerous spikes in the shape of mountains protruding out of the basin like sharp spikes. The spikes were grey in color, but there was a freezing air coming from them. It enveloped the entire area, causing the cave to be extremely cold.
If that was all, Su Ming would not have been so shocked. Besides the large amount of freezing spikes, there was something else in the basin!
It was a tribe!
There were a lot of houses made of stone, fences, and watchtowers made of stones. Su Ming even saw pots made of stones in many places in the tribe.
There was a totem outside each house. The totem looked like a burning ball of fire!
The houses made of stone were huge and built neatly. At first glance, they looked even more luxurious than the houses in Dark Mountain Tribe where Su Ming was.
Su Ming also saw paths made of stone within the tribe. There were many protruding stones on the paths. Su Ming looked at them for a long time, but he still could not tell what they were for.
This was not a normal tribe, and it was definitely not a complete tribe!
Su Ming's gaze fell on a few houses at the edge of the tribe. The houses seemed to have been split into two by someone using a strange power. Only half of the houses were left in the basin.
The other half was nowhere to be seen …
It was especially so for the land where the tribe was located. Besides the paths made of stones, the rest of the land looked like mud. It was clearly different from the rocks in the mountain!
Su Ming's breathing quickened. As he looked at everything before him, he could not help but recall the legend of the Fire Berserker Tribe that he had heard from the elder … Gradually, a picture appeared in his head. In that picture, there was a gigantic tribe on the ground. It occupied a vast area, and the end of the tribe could not be seen.
All the houses in the tribe were made of stone and there was a totem of fire on them. That totem represented the name of the tribe!
However, one day, a drastic change occurred to the tribe. It was split into many parts by some unknown force, and they began to collapse. Furthermore, some strange power caused the tribe and its people, as well as the land they were on, to vanish, as if they were being teleported away.
A small part of the tribe and the land were moved into Dark Mountain …
"That's not a legend …" Su Ming mumbled as he looked at the inconceivable sight before him that made him unable to believe it.
He swept his gaze across the tribe and his pupils shrank when he saw the center of the tribe.
Over there, there was an even stranger object!
It was a big tree! Or rather, it looked like a big tree! Its entire body was red and it emitted a fiery light. The fiery light Su Ming saw in the tunnel came from this tree.
The tree was so thick that it would take a dozen people to wrap their arms around it. Its roots pierced through the ground and seemed to have pierced through Black Flame Mountain. It went deep into the ground, and Su Ming did not know how far the roots extended.
The tree only had a trunk. The top of the tree pierced through the rocks in the cave. It was as if what was revealed was only a part of the trunk.
'A tree that grows within Black Flame Mountain …' Su Ming's eyes were fixed on the tree trunk. There were some familiar little red flowers blooming with a strange, enchanting beauty.
As he looked at the red flowers, Su Ming remembered the strange muddy swamp in the forest …
In silence, Su Ming averted his gaze and looked at the ruins of the tribe that had been buried in the passage of time. His heart was suddenly filled with sorrow. He sighed and jumped down to stand in the tribe. He stood in the Fire Berserker Tribe, one of the eight great tribes of the Berserker Tribe that dared to fight against the God of Berserkers.
'If that's the case, then the Wings of the Moon should be like what the legends say. They were formed by the Fire Berserker Tribe members who could not die under the Elder's Berserker Art … But … this is too unbelievable. How could there be such an Art … Just how strong was the Elder of the Fire Berserker Tribe … The scroll said that after the Blood Solidification Realm is the Transcendence Realm, and after the Transcendence Realm is the Bone Sacrifice Realm. As for the realms after the Bone Sacrifice Realm, there was no further description. They only used the title of Berserker Master.' Su Ming looked at the ancient tribe before him and walked into it quietly.
The tribe was empty. Besides the houses and some miscellaneous items, Su Ming could not see any corpses. The silence around him caused the place to be filled with a suffocating atmosphere.
As he was thinking about it, he stepped on the small path filled with protruding stones. When he stepped on it, Su Ming felt a slight chill on his feet. He lowered his head and looked at it. He could not figure out what this place was used for. He walked forward slowly, but as he moved forward, he suddenly stopped. He seemed to have noticed something from the corner of his eyes. He lifted his head and looked at the wall not too far away. There was a skeleton leaning against the wall at the edge of the divided tribe!
The skeleton was blocked by some houses, causing Su Ming to be unable to see it previously. Yet now, he could see it clearly from where he stood.
The moment he saw the skeleton, Su Ming's pupils shrank. This was the only skeleton he had seen so far. He took a few quick steps forward and arrived beside the skeleton. Once he took a closer look, Su Ming's body trembled.
The skeleton was very strange. The upper half of his body looked like a human's, but it had shrunk as if it had withered. The bones in the lower half of his body were even stranger. It was as if they had melted and changed. They were very different from those of a normal person. There were even two wings made of bones that looked like they were about to grow out of his back. Judging by the looks of the bones, they were somewhat similar to the Wings of the Moon!
It was as if this person was going through a change in his bones before he died. He was going through the pain of turning from a human into a Wings of the Moon. However, there was no sign of pain on the skeleton's face. Instead, there was a hint of mockery and pride!
But who was the mockery directed at …?
The skeleton's right index finger touched the wall beside him and pierced deep into it. Su Ming lifted his head and looked at the direction of his finger. There was a clear line of words on the wall!
Those were the words of the Berserker Tribe!
The moment Su Ming's gaze fell on the words on the stone wall, the sound of flapping wings suddenly came from within the tunnel leading to the entrance. There was also a terrifying roar mixed within, along with a few faint cries of despair!
The Wings of the Moon had returned!
Su Ming's expression immediately changed!
