Half a month later, somewhere in Mountain Ruins …
The floating mountain range that stretched for thousands of miles formed a land-like place, like an island in the void ocean. The highest peak of the mountain range was over 100,000 meters tall, like sharp swords pointing to the sky. Accompanying those towering peaks were deep valleys between the peaks …
The higher the mountain was, the deeper the valley was.
In the deep valley, a layer of white mist was faintly discernible. Within the white mist, there were jagged rocks everywhere. These valleys never saw sunlight all year round and were always shrouded in a layer of mist. Because of this, the jagged rocks had become a gathering place for some strange creatures that liked the dark.
At this moment, Zhang Tie was hiding in a hidden place on the hillside outside a valley. From here, he could overlook the entire valley by lowering his head. When he raised his head, he could see the scenery outside. Compared to the bare valley below, this place was densely wooded and had many grottos. Therefore, it was the best hiding place.
A red centipede longer than 1 m slowly climbed up from the bottom of the valley. Right under Zhang Tie's eyes, the centipede seemed to sense something as it slightly slowed down. Meanwhile, its long tentacles quivered as it started to explore the surrounding situation in the air.
"Go away …" Zhang Tie sent a message to the centipede. The centipede was startled at once as it hurriedly drilled into the grasses on one side.
After driving the centipede away, Zhang Tie took a look at the valley once again.
After driving the centipede away, Zhang Tie looked around the valley once again. There was still nothing in the valley.
Hiding in a pit, Zhang Tie couldn't remember how many times he had observed the situation outside this serene and deep valley. However, each time he looked over there, he couldn't see even a bird within thousands of miles. Recently, the nearest demon general that Zhang Tie saw was 12 days ago. At night, that demon general flew over 1,000 miles away like a meteor. Given its speed, Zhang Tie judged that it should be a fire immortal general.
At that time, Zhang Tie remembered that he and Immortal Being in Cloud had already set a "trap" here. Therefore, he didn't need to arouse the enemy's attention. Therefore, he only hesitated for a second before that demon general flew away.
When Zhang Tie recalled that he just watched a complete fire chakra slip away in front of his eyes, he really felt regretful.
Since then, that demon immortal general had left. Until now, Zhang Tie had not seen any demon immortal general in his sight, including this valley which was covered with a "powerful trap".
Today, Zhang Tie's patience finally ran out. Anyone else couldn't stand staying in this pit for half a month while watching various insects crawling around in front of him. Zhang Tie could only stay here for over 10 days because of the chakras that might be delivered to him.
After staying in the valley for a few more hours, when it gradually turned dark, Zhang Tie finally couldn't stand it anymore. Feeling a will-o '-the-wisp, Zhang Tie instantly flew out of the pit where he had been hiding for over 10 days and entered the valley. With a loud sound "boom", he kicked a huge boulder as large as an ox into pieces, scaring all the insects in the valley into their own gaps or pits. Zhang Tie swore, "What a f * cking trap …"
Immortal Being in Cloud also jumped out of a pit not far away. In the blink of an eye, he came to the front of Zhang Tie as he watched Zhang Tie with an embarrassed look and explained, "Erm … erm … this trap always worked before … I've tried it many times. Why? Why didn't it work this time? This place is called Tranquil Mountain. It's shady and secluded. There are tranquil grasses everywhere in the valley. Wind demon generals like to live and lurk in such a region. Additionally, the things that I smeared on the boulder could be sensed by wind demon generals from over 600 miles away. They would definitely come here to check it.
It could only be said that the Immortal Being in the Cloud's thoughts and plans were good, but the actual situation could not always be as he wished. It was like a hunter setting up a trap. Sometimes, the trap could capture prey, but sometimes, even if the trap decayed and collapsed, it would not be able to catch even a feather.
"Didn't you say that wind demon generals would fall into the trap in 3 to 5 days at most? It's already been half a month. Why haven't you caught any wind demon generals before?" Zhang Tie watched Immortal Being in Cloud with a dubious look.
"It's true. A few years ago, when I set the trap, I killed two wind demon generals with a friend. If not a fire demon general, we could continue to use that trap …" Immortal Being in Cloud frowned as he said with a puzzled look, "Theoretically, it shouldn't work. How could this trap suddenly fail? Have all the spider demons changed their temperament? That's not right …"
"What's that stuff that you smeared over the stone?"
"It's the essence of 10,000-year-old Tranquil Grass, the venom gland of spider demon generals and some other elixirs. This formula is top secret. Commoners don't know it. One drop of it costs dozens of element crystals …" Immortal Being in Cloud said with a painful look. A few days ago, he didn't tell Zhang Tie about this "secret"; however, he could only tell Zhang Tie at this moment. "I finally bought a bottle of it. After mixing the two ingredients, we couldn't smell it; however, the spider demons of wind demon generals could sense it. If spider demons could eat the 10,000-year-old Tranquil Grass which had blossomed, their battle qi's toxicity would increase by at least 30%. This item could increase their battle strength greatly. Ordinary spider demons couldn't resist such a temptation at all …" Immortal Being in Cloud said as he scratched his head. Closely after that, he suddenly changed his face, "Ahh, did that old b * stard sell me a fake one? No, I have to settle accounts with him …"
Watching Immortal Being in Cloud's changing face, Zhang Tie became speechless. At this moment, he couldn't blame Immortal Being in Cloud for wasting half a month's time by beating this old man to vent his anger. If Immortal Being in Cloud really bought a "fake one", Zhang Tie could only admit it. He could just take a rest here in the past half a month; otherwise, what else could he do? After thinking about it, Immortal Being in Cloud could be regarded as Zhang Tie's guide in Mountain Ruins. He had learned a lot from Immortal Being in Cloud. Therefore, it was not a loss.
After thinking about it, Zhang Tie recovered his composure. After taking a look at Immortal Being in Cloud, he said, "You're going to deal with him. I will not go there. Let's bid farewell to each other. Green mountains and clear water will always flow. Hopefully, we could meet again one day …"
"Ahh, Younger Brother Cui, won't you go with me …" Immortal Being in Cloud rolled his eyes as he tried his best to persuade Zhang Tie to stay. "As long as Younger Brother Cui goes with me to find that old guy and let him take out the real item, we could continue. When we kill demons next time, I only want 40% of the benefits. The other 60% will belong to Younger Brother Cui. Additionally, Younger Brother Cui, you're not familiar with this place …"
"Haha, it doesn't matter. I will be familiar with it after I wander around. Additionally, I have hundreds of thousands of gold coins per second. I really can't waste any more time. I've got something to deal with. See you …" After saying that, Zhang Tie instantly rushed into the sky. With a flash, he had already left Serene Mountain and disappeared in the sight of Immortal Being in Cloud …
Watching his "good helper" leaving with a pitiful look, Immortal Being in Cloud slightly frowned as he muttered to himself, "What do you mean by hundreds of thousands of yuan per second …"
After standing there silently for a short while and watching Zhang Tie leaving, Immortal Being in Cloud took out a red jade vial from his space-teleportation equipment. After taking a look at it, he instantly smashed it onto a stone in the distance. As a result, the jade vial was broken into pieces, splashing a lot of liquid everywhere. "Old b * stard, wait and see. How dare you cheat me with a fake item? I will tear your bird's nest this time …"
After saying that, Immortal Being in Cloud stomped his foot as he flew towards another direction in a split second …
The deep valley was covered in rolling white mist. Only after a short while, it had completely recovered its tranquility …
One day later …
With a sound "boom …", battle qi swept across the valley. Being compressed by the sudden battle qi, all the rolling white mist in the valley was cleared in a split second, exposing a valley covered with rugged odd-looking rocks which was over 10 miles in length. Closely after that, with a flash of red light, 7 terrifying and powerful spider demon immortal generals appeared on the ground of the deep valley at once.
The head of the 7 powerful spider demon immortal generals was in black metal armor with 6 arms sticking out of his armor. In a bloody cloak, his qi surged into the sky. It was this spider demon immortal general who cleared the mist across the valley just now. At this moment, if Zhang Tie was here, he might be so shocked that he couldn't close his mouth at the sight of this spider demon immortal general. Given its qi, this spider demon immortal general was a powerful sage-level knight.
Even though Zhang Tie was not here, if someone who knew demons caught sight of this spider demon immortal general's bloody cloak, even though he couldn't sense this spider demon immortal general's qi, he could also identify this spider demon immortal general's identity. Among demon immortal generals in Motian Realm, those who could wear a bloody cloak were supreme-level demon generals, namely sage-level demon knights.
In the past half a month, Zhang Tie and Immortal Being in Cloud didn't even get a bird's feather. However, one day after they left, 7 demon powerhouses had arrived here …
