Chapter 656

A silver moon hung in the sky, illuminating the entire forest. Wild beasts roared and the wind howled.

Mo Wen walked out of the forest step by step. His silhouette was long.

He had decided to complete the task. Although it was very dangerous, there were also opportunities.

Before this, the Tower Spirit had conveyed a message to everyone. In this space, there were endless opportunities. As long as one had the opportunity, as long as one had the ability.

Accepting the task issued by the Tower Spirit was perhaps one of the ways to trigger the opportunity.

He did not know what the reward for this hidden task was, but he guessed that it would not be simple.

As long as the Beast King did not awaken, Mo Wen believed that he could escape even if he could not defeat the four pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beasts.

Moreover, he had four allies. Those who could accept this task together must have some ability.

From the moment he accepted the task, a map appeared in Mo Wen's mind. On it were his coordinates and the coordinates of the abandoned city. He could use the coordinates in his mind as a reference to find the abandoned ancient city.

The ancient city was not far away. It was about thirty kilometers away from the forest he was in. After Mo Wen walked out of the forest, the ancient city came into view.

Under the moonlight, the ancient city was exceptionally desolate.

There were no humans living in the city. There were only monstrous beasts.

Swoosh!

A dark shadow flashed past. Mo Wen had just walked to the edge of the ancient city. He had not even entered the ancient city when a ferocious figure pounced out from the shadows.

Mo Wen casually struck out with his palm and killed the seventh rank illusionary beast. There was a flash of light and it turned into starlight that entered his body.

A mass of red light floated in mid-air. It was another low-grade Healing Light.

There were more than ten Healing Lights in Mo Wen's hands. However, they were all low-grade Healing Lights. However, one could never have too many of them. Before this, the Saber-toothed Tiger Demon's claw had severely injured Mo Wen. Mo Wen had only used a low-grade Healing Light and he was already completely healed.

He continued to walk forward. He did not hide. It was because he knew that he could not hide from the illusionary beasts' eyes and ears in this space.

Howl!

Howl! In the distant city, the roars of beasts suddenly rang out. The roars rose and fell. Then, the ground rumbled. Deafening sounds constantly rang out. It was as though there was an endless army of monstrous beasts running wildly.

"Hmm, that is?"

Mo Wen narrowed his eyes slightly. His power of perception extended outwards. He discovered that all the monstrous beasts in the ancient city had started to riot. Large groups of monstrous beasts were gathering in one direction.

"Could it be that someone has entered the ancient city before me?"

Mo Wen glanced at the ancient city thoughtfully. Unless human ancient martial art practitioners had entered, it was impossible for the monstrous beasts in the city to riot like this.

He knew that there were four human ancient martial art practitioners who had accepted this task. It was just that he did not know who had arrived at the ancient city first.

Mo Wen tapped his feet lightly and his entire person flew up. He swept towards the ancient city at the speed of lightning.

He had just entered the ancient city when monstrous beasts immediately discovered him. Groups of monstrous beasts immediately surrounded him.

Mo Wen flicked his wrist and stretched out his hand. A blurry gray light lit up. A small mountain immediately flew into mid-air. In an instant, it grew bigger and fiercely smashed down.

With a loud rumble, a large number of monstrous beasts died at the foot of the mountain. Specks of starlight seeped out from the bottom of the mountain, frenziedly surging into Mo Wen's body.

The monstrous beasts on the outskirts of the city were not strong. Even seventh rank monstrous beasts were very rare. Mo Wen could kill a large number of them with a casual strike.

The Gray Mountain Peak was a top grade spiritual weapon. In this space, it was even more powerful than before. It was more than twice as powerful as before.

Mo Wen charged into the depths of the ancient city. He knew that the Beast King's treasure was definitely in the center of the ancient city. Only by entering the center of the ancient city would he have a chance of snatching the treasure.

A large number of monstrous beasts surged towards Mo Wen like a tide. However, no matter how many monstrous beasts there were, they could not withstand a casual strike from Mo Wen. Starlight constantly surged into Mo Wen's body, strengthening his power. When it was thick, it even gathered into a starlight whirlpool around Mo Wen.

After fifteen minutes, Mo Wen finally entered the center of the city.

This ancient city was completely abandoned. There were dilapidated walls everywhere. However, in the center area, there were still tall buildings. Some of the buildings pierced through the clouds, emanating a thick and ancient aura.

In the past, this city must have been incomparably prosperous.

Mo Wen discovered that a large number of monstrous beasts had surrounded the northwest corner. He could vaguely see a person charging through the crowd of monstrous beasts.

Perhaps because that person had entered the city first and attracted the attention of a large number of monstrous beasts, the resistance that Mo Wen faced was actually very small.

However, any human ancient martial art practitioner who entered the ancient city would become the target of the monstrous beasts. Right now, a large number of monstrous beasts had already surrounded Mo Wen.

The closer one got to the center of the ancient city, the stronger the demonic beasts that appeared. Seventh rank demonic beasts could be seen everywhere.

Mo Wen's expression was cold as he continuously killed the monstrous beasts. His eyes swept across the ancient city, searching for the place where the Beast King's treasure was stored.

After a while, Mo Wen found his target. In a square a thousand meters away, there was a very large altar. In the middle of the altar was a pillar of light. In the pillar of light floated a square jade box. It shone with the light of jewels and looked extremely luxurious.

The white jade box was only as big as a medicine box. It emanated a strange wave. If Mo Wen's guess was correct, it was certainly the Beast King's treasure.

However, below the altar, there was a huge figure crouched. The figure was more than seventy meters long. Even though it was crouched on the ground, it was like a small mountain.

The Beast King!

Mo Wen's pupils shrank slightly. The strange beast was clearly the Beast King that ruled over the entire ancient city. Even though it was currently in a deep sleep, the aura it emanated was extremely terrifying. Almost no monstrous beasts dared to approach it.

There was actually a Beast King crouched below the treasure box. This caused Mo Wen's expression to turn serious.

How could he steal the treasure box without alerting the Beast King? This was clearly a problem.

Rumble!

A house collapsed and a tall figure emerged from the dust that filled the air. The figure was ten meters tall and walked on two legs. It was an ape-type monstrous beast. The monstrous beast's entire body shone with a blue light. It released beams of cold blue light. Everywhere it passed, the ground and the air froze.

The monstrous beast was clearly targeting Mo Wen. It bent its knees and bounced off the ground. Its huge figure leaped up into the sky, flying up hundreds of meters. It viciously punched Mo Wen.

Mo Wen softly snorted and pointed with his finger. The gray mountain peak that floated above his head flashed. Then, it released a beam of gray light that swept fiercely towards the ape monstrous beast.

The gray light swept across the body of the blue ape monstrous beast. Immediately, the ape monstrous beast's huge figure was pressed down tens of meters, almost pressing the ape monstrous beast into the ground.

Roar!

The ape monstrous beast roared angrily. Its body released a beam of piercing icy blue light. A cold wind swept across the ground. Within a radius of a thousand meters, a layer of ice crystals formed. The water vapor in the sky froze into ice beads that rained down to the ground.

The frightening Cold Qi wreaked havoc. The gray light actually froze for a moment. The ape monstrous beast punched out. Crackling sounds rang out, like ice shattering. The gray light that was pressing down on the ape monstrous beast cracked bit by bit. Then, it completely dissipated.

Roar!

After shattering the gray light, the ape monstrous beast pounded its chest with its fists. Once again, it bounced up and charged towards Mo Wen, who was in mid-air. A frightening Cold Qi was released from its huge figure. It seemed as though it wanted to freeze the entire world.

"Another mutated monstrous beast."

A look of surprise flashed in Mo Wen's eyes. He did not know if the Tower Spirit had intentionally created a large number of talented monstrous beasts to increase the difficulty.

Even though this ape monstrous beast's cultivation was only at the later stage of the seventh rank, its combat ability was far above that of the Saber-toothed Tiger Demon that Mo Wen had encountered earlier. It was clearly another mutated beast with a talented technique.

Mo Wen did not know that in the Primordial Era that the Tower Spirit had existed in, monstrous beasts with special talents like this could be seen everywhere. It was not a rare occurrence at all. On the contrary, in order to lower the difficulty of the game, the Tower Spirit had purposely reduced the probability of a talented monstrous beast appearing.

No matter how talented a later stage seventh rank monstrous beast was, it would not pose much of a threat to Mo Wen.

There was a flash of light in the sky. The gray mountain peak floating above Mo Wen's head suddenly grew in size. With a rumble, it crashed down.

There was a loud sound. The gray mountain peak crashed down with the force of Mount Tai. It was as though the Five Finger Mountain was suppressing Sun Wukong. It pressed the ape monstrous beast back to the ground, viciously suppressing it beneath the mountain peak.

Roar Roar!

The body of the ape monstrous beast was extremely strong. It was not seriously injured by the pressure. Instead, it kept struggling beneath the mountain peak, causing the entire gray mountain peak to shake.

Mo Wen coldly snorted. With a wave of his hand, a black light flashed. The flying dagger spiritual weapon flew out. It drew a dark line and slashed towards the head of the ape monstrous beast.

Sensing the terrifying killing intent of the flying dagger spiritual weapon, the ape monstrous beast finally panicked. It struggled uneasily and crazily. However, the gray mountain peak kept releasing beams of gray light. No matter how much it struggled, it could not break free from the suppression of the mountain peak.

Roar!

In the sky, a shocking beast roar suddenly sounded, followed by an earth-shattering aura sweeping out, instantly covering half of the ancient city.

A beam of green light appeared in the night sky. The green light was like a rising green sun, releasing endless rays of light.

Mo Wen's expression froze. He looked at the green light in the distance with a slightly serious expression.

A gust of green wind suddenly blew up. It whizzed past and violently collided with Mo Wen's gray mountain peak, directly sending it flying.

The ape monstrous beast took the opportunity to jump up. With a dodge, it avoided the attack of the flying dagger spiritual weapon at the last moment.

The ape monstrous beast looked at Mo Wen fiercely. However, it did not launch another attack. It seemed to know that it was not a match for Mo Wen. This time, it was much more cautious.

It slowly retreated a few steps. Only when it thought that Mo Wen would not be able to attack it at this distance did it turn around. It faced the green light and made a gesture of worship.

In the sky, the wind howled. A huge shadow enveloped the sky above the ancient city, even blocking the light of the moon.

A pinnacle of the seventh rank monstrous beast!

Mo Wen looked up at the sky. A huge green light monstrous beast was floating above. Its entire body was shining with green light. It was a green eagle. This eagle was 50 meters long. Its wingspan was more than 100 meters. The aura it emanated was far stronger than that of an ordinary pinnacle of the Golden Elixir realm ancient martial art practitioner. (To be continued.)
