Rumble!
Bewilderment Fog Ship was smashed to pieces. Many Clasping Yuan martial artists were bleeding from the corners of their mouths, apparently injured.
"Where is this?"
Everyone raised their heads and looked around. They discovered that they were in a wasteland. The wasteland was dark, and their line of sight was no more than fifty meters. Fortunately, their mental power was not restricted, and they could explore more than ten kilometers away.
"Are we at the bottom of the lake?" Liu Mei looked at Ye Chen and Grand Elder Chen in astonishment.
Grand Elder Chen said in a low voice, "Star Regional Lake is immeasurably deep. We might be tens of thousands of meters away from the surface. Grand Elder Ye, what do you think?"
"I don't know for now. But, it's better to be careful." For some reason, Ye Chen felt very stifled, as if something extremely dangerous was about to happen. His breathing gradually became heavier.
Ye Chen's tone made Liu Mei and Grand Elder Chen turn serious. Among them, Ye Chen was the strongest, and thus had the most authority.
"What should we do now?"
Liu Mei asked.
Ye Chen said, "Let's investigate this place first."
Grand Elder Chen nodded and said loudly, "Everyone, follow us."
"Hurry up!"
"With the three grand elders leading us, we'll be much safer."
The ship was enormous. There were more than thirty Astral Reaching experts and hundreds of Clasping Yuan martial artists on board. Hearing Grand Elder Chen's voice, these people felt a bit more at ease. With three Extreme Astral Reaching experts, as long as there weren't any rank 9 demonic beasts, they would be safe.
The hundreds of people were divided into three groups. The first group consisted of Ye Chen and the other two, the second group consisted of more than thirty Astral Reaching experts, and the third group consisted of hundreds of Clasping Yuan martial artists. Under Ye Chen's command, the Clasping Yuan experts were divided into more than ten groups of twenty people each, moving forward in an orderly manner.
The ruins were desolate. White smoke rose from the ground, as if a huge volcano was brewing below. The white smoke was actually water vapor.
"In front of us is a stone forest. Every rock is like a mountain, a steep mountain." Grand elder Chen was shocked. Using his soul power, he sensed that there were huge rocks seven to eight miles away. These rocks were three to four hundred meters wide and thousands of meters tall. They were releasing a faint gray halo, as if they were glowing, which made them look spectacular.
Ye Chen's soul power range was several times greater than grand elder Chen's, so he had already known about it. However, he felt that the stone forest was very dangerous, extremely dangerous, so he didn't say anything.
"Should we go in and check?" Liu Mei and grand elder Chen looked at Ye Chen.
Ye Chen thought for a moment, then said, "This stone forest is not simple. It's best not to go in for now. Let's finish exploring the other areas first."
"Alright, then let's go around this stone forest!"
The group moved to the left in a grandiose fashion.
The stone forest was too big, and it stretched for countless miles. After several hours, Ye Chen discovered that he couldn't see the end of it at all, so there was no point in taking a detour.
Wa wa wa!
Just at this moment, the cries of an infant that seemed to have been magnified countless times rang out. In this desolate area, it was so strange that it made one's hair stand on end.
"Scared me! It's the fog beasts!" Grand elder Chen was shocked at first, but then a smile appeared on his face. Although the beasts were powerful, it was only for warriors below the Extreme Astral Reaching Realm. The three of them could easily take on two or more beasts, especially Ye Chen, who had the highest attacking power. It would be no problem for him to take on three or four beasts at once, so there was nothing to be afraid of.
However, the next second, grand elder Chen froze.
The cries of countless babies rang out incessantly, and it was extremely noisy. It was estimated that there were dozens or even hundreds of beasts roaring at the same time.
"So many beasts! Not good! Run!" Ye Chen was the first to react. His voice was wrapped with his zhen yuan and poured into everyone's ears.
"Run!"
Without any thoughts, everyone flew away in despair.
If there were around ten beasts, the three of them would still be able to fight for a while and slowly kill them. But if there were twenty, they would have to run for their lives. And right now, there were definitely more than one hundred of them. Any wave of attacks would be enough to kill them all.
Shoo! Shoo! Shoo!
Ye Chen and the other two were the fastest. They shot out for miles within a blink of an eye, while the rest of them were left far behind. They all wished they could grow more legs and run as fast as they could.
At the edge of the stone forest, countless huge beasts that looked like cows but were not cows jumped into the sky. Between their horns, there was a thick white fog. With one glance, one could see that there were more than one or two hundred of them. There were at least five hundred of them. In the middle of them were five beasts that were wrapped in fog, which were obviously more powerful than the normal ones.
"Whoo!" "Whoo!" "Whoo!" …
With a sharp sonic boom, the five hundred beasts with red eyes chased after Ye Chen and the others at an extreme speed. That thick leather armor of theirs brought out sparks from the friction with the air.
After a couple of breaths, the beasts were less than three miles away from them.
The beasts in front of them slowed down a bit. Their mouths moved, and in the next second, beams of white light shot out, slicing through the air.
"Ah!"
One round of attacks!
Hundreds of Clasping Yuan Realm warriors had been killed, and more than half of the thirty Astral Reaching Realm warriors had been killed. Only a couple of Astral Reaching Realm warriors with the fastest reactions were not injured.
However, it was only one round of attacks from the beasts.
"So horrifying! Are we going to die here?"
The Astral Reaching Realm warrior who was running at the front had a pale face, his lips trembling.
Ye Chen had been paying attention to the situation behind them. Seeing that the number of beasts was even more than he had imagined, he could not help but chuckle bitterly. Five hundred beasts … not to mention him, even an Astral Reaching Realm invincible warrior would be blown into ashes.
Grand elder Chen and Liu Mei's sensing range was not as far as Ye Chen's. They thought that there were only one hundred beasts, but it was already horrifying enough. In a way, there was no difference between five hundred beasts and one hundred beasts. One round of attacks would be enough to kill them.
"Luckily, the beasts' speed is not as fast as ours."
Liu Mei said with relief.
"Ah!"
A couple of screams were heard. Besides Ye Chen and the other two, the others had all died.
"Faster! Let's get rid of the beasts!"
Ye Chen pushed his Separating Shadow Flying Art with all of his power, his body turning blurry.
"Yeah! If we do not get rid of them, we can only run for our lives."
Grand elder Chen nodded. His zhen yuan burst out, shooting out a silver light mark behind him. Liu Mei's speed was even faster than grand elder Chen's. Her body flashed once, and it seemed like there were seven or eight human shadows flying at the same time. She was not that much slower than Ye Chen.
After a while, Ye Chen could no longer sense the beasts.
"So close! This place is the nest of the beasts!" Grand elder Chen breathed heavily, cold sweat appearing on his forehead.
"We can't stop yet. The beasts were only forty to fifty miles away."
Ye Chen said.
"Yeah, let's keep going!"
The three did not slow down at all, looking like three beams of weak light.
Wah! Wah! Wah!
Before they could let out a breath, the beasts' roars were heard in front of them. Although there were not as many as the beasts behind them, there were still dozens of them.
There were wolves in front and tigers behind!
The three were in a desperate situation!
"Let's go!"
Ye Chen yelled as the Greenwood Sword appeared in his hand.
"As long as we don't get hit by five attacks at the same time, we will have the chance to survive. Let's go!"
Grand elder Chen and Liu Mei took out their weapons as well, their faces filled with killing intent.
Dozens of miles only took a couple of breaths' time!
The three were only a couple of miles away from the beasts. Boom!
Boom! Boom!
Boom! Boom!
The beasts opened their mouths, shooting out burning white light beams.
Crack!
Dozens of light beams interweaved with each other, moving as fast as lightning. No matter how good Ye Chen's flying art was, it would be hard for him to dodge all of them. After being hit by three light beams, his protective zhen yuan was broken, and his speed dropped drastically. Liu Mei's flying art was not weaker than Ye Chen's, but she was also hit by three light beams. As for grand elder Chen, he was hit by four light beams, blood leaking out from the corner of his mouth.
"I will restrict their movements. You guys try your best to clear a path!" Ye Chen held up his Greenwood Sword, waving out the seventh movement of his Green Lotus Sword Art. The air was frozen, and layers of green lotuses spread out, turning into sword qi and attacking the beasts' bodies.
Shoo …
The sword qi contained a horrifying sword intent, which cut through the beasts' defense. Unfortunately, this kind of wound was just like a drizzle to the beasts. The only thing that made them angry was that within the coverage of the sword attack, their movements had been slowed down.
"Mountain Attack!"
Grand elder Chen held his silver light rapier and threw out an attack. Two beasts in front of him were blown away while puking out blood.
"Wind Whip Art!"
With a couple of popping sounds, a long black shadow flashed through, and at least five or six beasts were whipped away. Judging on the effect, it was a couple of times better than grand elder Chen's. Of course, the attacking power was a lot weaker, since Liu Mei's attack was more focused on whipping away the enemies, not killing them.
"Green Lotus Mountain Opening!"
Between the two, a hundred-meter-long sword light fell down from the sky, leaving a black mark in the air before killing in the middle of all the beasts.
Swoosh!
One beast was cut into pieces, and a couple of others were wounded. More of them were blown away by the aftershock of the sword light.
"Charge!"
Ye Chen yelled.
At this moment, the three of them pushed their speed to their limits. They passed through the empty area in the middle of the beasts, and were about to escape.
Wah!
An even louder roar was heard. Behind the beasts, in front of the three, a huge beast covered in fog appeared out of nowhere. It opened its mouth, and a beam of white light with a hint of purple shot out, covering the three of them within.
"We can't avoid it anymore! Green Lotus Light!"
Ye Chen raised his sword to block out the attack. On the blade of his sword, there was a couple of meters long green lotus. He did not dare to make the green lotus bigger, since it would mean that the defense would be weakened, and it might not be able to block out this attack.
Boom!
The air was shaking, and the light seemed to have stopped time. Soon, the three of them were drowned in it.
Pooh! Pooh!
Grand elder Chen and Liu Mei puked out blood as they backed out. They slid for dozens of miles before returning to the front of the beasts. Ye Chen followed right behind them, still holding up his sword to block out the attack.
"Oh no! This beast's power is way more powerful than normal beasts. I'm afraid only Astral Reaching Realm paragons would be able to handle it." Grand elder Chen forced a smile.
The green lotus had been shattered, but Ye Chen was not wounded at all. However, the situation in front of them was too bad. The way in front of them had been cut off, and there were still five hundred beasts chasing after them. Without any surprises, they would not be able to escape death. They had never thought that there would be such a dangerous place under the forbidden zone.
