As far as the eye could see, everywhere was a dazzling golden desert. The surface of the desert was smooth like brocade and streamlined, rising and falling to form numerous hills of varying heights. Occasionally, there would be some low-level snake-type demon beasts that drilled out from the desert, twisting their wriggling bodies to pounce on their prey.
Boom!
When passing by a hill, Ye Chen's scalp went numb. His body shot up into the sky, leaving only an afterimage behind. The next second, the hill collapsed inwards, and a huge black hole appeared. On the edge of the black hole, there were many sharp teeth.
It was a gigantic demonic beast, and the black hole was its mouth. If it weren't for Ye Chen's fast reaction, he would have already fallen into the beast's mouth and been chewed into minced meat.
"It's not safe to walk in the desert! This demonic beast had hidden itself so well, not even a trace of its aura was leaked out. "Ye Chen was still in a state of shock.
Down below …
The demonic beast didn't catch any prey, but it didn't care. Its body continued to sink down, and soon, it disappeared, leaving behind only a huge pit.
…
This desert was not as big as the Scorching Ancient Desert between the nine nations. Three days later, Ye Chen had crossed through the desert and arrived at the edge of the endless Hundred Thousand Mountain Range.
"The Hundred Thousand Mountain Range is one of the most dangerous places in the whole South Rudra Region. With my current power, it would be a bit difficult for me to go there. Fortunately, I've trained the Great Mystery Art to the ninth level the day before yesterday, and the quality and quantity of my Zhen Qi have greatly increased. Now, I should be able to fight against a mid-level Rank 6 demonic beast."
The Hundred Thousand Mountain Range was said to have one hundred thousand mountains, but in fact, there were even more small mountains. There were millions of them, and no one knew how many millions of miles there were. Four-fifths of the Grey Mystery Nation's territory was made up of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. Since the ancient times, no one had been able to explore all of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, and only a few people had been able to explore even one-tenth of it. This was because the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range was way too big, and there were way too many mountains. Even if a martial institution went in, it would be useless.
Taking a deep breath, Ye Chen entered the outer area of the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range.
…
When Ye Chen entered the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, two silhouettes appeared at the border of the Grey Mystery Nation, outside of the Ancient Path Mountain Range. One of them was black, and the other was green. They were the two young men from the Huang family in the Black Rock City.
Stepping on a huge tree, the teenager in black said, "After going through the Ancient Path Mountains, the Triangle Mountains, and the Undercurrent Desert, it will be the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. Qin Hao, are we really going to enter the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range? It is said that the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range is one of the oldest dangerous places in the whole South Rudra Region. There are countless rank 7 and rank 8 beasts there, and even rank 9 beasts. Even Astral Reaching Realm warriors would not dare to go in there openly.
"Risk and wealth have always been proportional. If you stop when you encounter danger and difficulties, how can you achieve great things? Not to mention that the location of the red dot is not in the center of the Hundred Thousand Mountains. It is only in the periphery. There won't be too many terrifying things there." The young man in green was expressionless.
The black clothed young man's brows eased up slightly, and then he asked. "The outer area of the Grand Myriad Mountains is still boundlessly vast. Where exactly is the location of that red dot?"
"In a mountain shaped like a goat's head, surrounded by a dense forest."
"Since we know the shape of the mountain, it will be easy. Let's go!"
Swoosh! Swoosh!
The two of them darted into the Ancient Path Mountain Range.
"Qin Hao and Tian Chong have also come to the Grey Mystery Nation, what a surprise!" On a mountain not far away from them, a man and a woman appeared. The one talking was Qi Shaofeng, whose face was full of smiles, and standing beside him was Murong Qingcheng, who was wearing a fluttering purple robe.
Murong Qingcheng said, "I don't think their goal is the same as ours."
"You're right, the Sky Devil Flower is not very useful to them, they wouldn't take the risk to look for it." Qi Shaofeng nodded.
Three days after Ye Chen left, the two of them set off. On their way, they accidentally found Qin Hao and Tian Chong, who were both ranked in the Hidden Dragon Ranking. Both of them were ranked within the top 45, and Qin Hao's power was not any weaker than Qi Shaofeng's. He was ranked thirty-five in the last Hidden Dragon Ranking.
…
Inside the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range, no one below the Astral Reaching Realm would dare to fly in the sky, not even peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. And the Astral Reaching Realm warriors would only dare to be this arrogant in the outer area. Once they got a little bit further in, they would still have to go down and run. After all, the sky was way too eye-catching, one could easily see it by raising one's head. It might not be dangerous for a while, but after a while, the chance of encountering danger would be one hundred percent, and the chance of dying would be more than eighty percent.
In other words, if anyone wanted to die, he or she could just fly in the Grand Myriad Mountains.
On the bumpy mountain road, a shadow flashed across.
It had been five days. For five whole days, except for the night, Ye Chen had been searching for the location of the red dot all the time.
The red dot was located in a mountain that was shaped like a goat's head, surrounded by a dense forest, which was very eye-catching on the map. Unfortunately, only when he arrived at the Grand Myriad Mountains did he realize what it meant to look for a needle in a haystack. With the speed of searching for one hundred mountains every day, Ye Chen had already searched for five hundred mountains in five days. However, the Grand Myriad Mountains did not lack mountains at all. There were millions of mountains in total, which was equivalent to the population of a huge city.
Of course, if there was no danger, Ye Chen could search for thousands of mountains in one day. Unfortunately, this was the Grand Myriad Mountains, not a place where he could do whatever he wanted.
Awoooo!
In the mountain stream far away, a ten-meter-long, three-meter-tall wolf-like demonic beast howled towards the sky. The horrifying sound spread out for hundreds of miles with the mountain stream as the center. The beast's Qi was so strong that all of the low-rank demonic beasts nearby kneeled down on the ground, making whimpering sounds.
"Top rank 6 demonic beast, the Wind Wolf!"
Ye Chen's body flashed and disappeared into the pile of rocks nearby.
The Wind Wolf was as powerful as a peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artist, but ordinary peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists would definitely die if they encountered it. Only those talented Late Clasping Yuan Realm martial artists could fight against it. For example, if Ye Chen reached the Late Clasping Yuan Realm, he would be able to defeat the Wind Wolf, and if he reached the peak-level Late Clasping Yuan Realm, he might even be able to kill the Wind Wolf. Unfortunately, he was still far from being able to fight against it.
Swoosh … swoosh … swoosh …
The Wind Wolf started its monthly patrol. Wherever it went, none of the demonic beasts dared to run away. All of them kneeled on the ground, not daring to move a single inch.
In the air, the Wind Wolf glanced around, then opened its mouth and sucked a strong demonic cow into its mouth. It bit the cow in half, and blood splashed everywhere.
After a while, the Wind Wolf howled satisfyingly after it had finished its dessert. It flew far away and started patrolling its territory.
Waiting until the Wind Wolf's aura disappeared, Ye Chen walked out from the pile of rocks.
"This Wind Wolf is definitely a king among the rank 6 demonic beasts. The top rank 6 demonic beasts I encountered in the Ancient Path Mountains and the Triangle Mountains are much weaker than it."
Normally, the classification of demonic beasts was very general. Take the rank 6 demonic beasts as an example, the weakest ones were normal rank 6 demonic beasts, the slightly more powerful ones were elite rank 6 demonic beasts, and the most powerful ones were top rank 6 demonic beasts. However, there were also different levels among the top rank 6 demonic beasts. For example, the two top rank 6 demonic beasts he encountered in the Ancient Path Mountains and the Triangle Mountains were only demonic beasts with normal bloodlines. However, this Wind Wolf had the bloodline of an ancient demonic beast, which was extremely noble. It was the king among all the rank 6 demonic beasts, and it had the potential to become a rank 7 demonic beast.
"Although the Wind Wolf is powerful, it can't do everything. I don't think I will encounter it again." Murmuring, Ye Chen continued to look for that mountain which was shaped like a goat's head.
Another two days passed.
This afternoon.
"Eh?
"The sky over there is filled with purple mist. I am afraid it is extremely poisonous miasma. The area it covers is way too wide." On top of a small hill, Ye Chen was wearing a blue robe that was very similar to the color of the plants. At first glance, it was very hard to distinguish it.
"Let's go and have a look!"
It had been a week since he arrived at the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range. Ye Chen did not want to miss any clues.
A distance of several dozen kilometers could be covered in the time it took to eat a meal. This was because they did not dare to make a big fuss. Otherwise, they would only need a few dozen breaths.
Shoo!
On top of a huge tree, Ye Chen squatted on a branch. He looked through the dense leaves and saw the scene hundreds of meters away.
Ye Chen frowned. In front of him was a dense forest. Outside of the forest, there were a large number of warriors guarding. These warriors were all wearing yellow robes, holding long blades in their hands. There was a blue long blade embroidered on their sleeves. They should be from a martial institution that specialized in blade arts.
Most of these people were Condensing Reality Realm warriors. There were also over twenty Clasping Yuan Realm warriors. All in all, there were at least two or three hundred of them.
"Elder Teng, what is that purple miasma up there? It seems to be very dangerous." Beside a huge rock outside the forest, a young man asked a black-haired elder.
The black-haired elder glanced at the purple miasma and said, "That is the Bone Corroding Miasma. Before one's Zhen Qi is refined into Zhen Yuan, he or she will die immediately. Even the protective Zhen Qi will be corroded very quickly."
"Wow, so powerful! But how come I have never heard of the Bone Corroding Miasma?"
"There are many things that you have never heard of. The Bone Corroding Miasma is very rare in the modern era. It can only be found in some ancient places. It is our Long Blade Martial School's fortune to find the Bone Corroding Miasma. We might be able to find some treasures in the forest."
"Wow, no wonder our headmaster has come in person and brought hundreds of people into the forest. He also asked us to stand guard outside and kill any warriors that pass by. Oh right, is there any Bone Corroding Miasma in the forest? Our headmaster and the others will not be in danger, right?"
"Don't worry, there is no Bone Corroding Miasma in the forest. It can only be found above the forest."
The black-haired elder was the Head Elder of the Long Blade Martial School. The Long Blade Martial School was an ordinary rank 9 institution thousands of miles away from here. This time, an elder of the school accidentally discovered the Bone Corroding Miasma and immediately went back to report. The headmaster of the Long Blade Martial School made a prompt decision and sent a big half of their people. Fortunately, the Hundred Thousand Mountain Range between the Long Blade Martial School and the forest was not too dangerous. After losing dozens of people, they finally arrived at their destination.
Sensing the conversation between the two with his soul power, Ye Chen pondered. The Bone Corroding Miasma was something that only existed in the ancient times. There might be some treasures in the forest. Oh right, the location of the red dot on the map seemed to be similar to this place.
Taking out the map piece from his storage ring, Ye Chen's pupils shrank. There was a light purple mark on the pattern of the forest surrounding the Goat Head Mountain, which was most likely the Bone Corroding Miasma. But of course, even if it was just a coincidence, he still had to go in and take a look. Otherwise, he wouldn't know how long he would have to search for it.
