The great wasteland was boundless as far as the eye could see!
As soon as he left Little Lonely Mountain Town, Ye Xuan was faced with the same endless majestic mountain range as well as countless ferocious beasts, vicious birds, and poisonous bugs.
"This won't do. According to what the Guardian Spirit said, this place is over a thousand li away from the Great Floating Swamp. If my cultivation wasn't sealed, then it would naturally be simple. However, right now, I can't use my cultivation. It seems like I can only find a vicious beast or a vicious bird to ride on!"
It wasn't that Ye Xuan couldn't travel over a thousand li, it was just that the great wasteland was boundless. If he could save some strength, then wouldn't it be better to sit on a vicious beast or a vicious bird to hurry on? Wouldn't that be better than running on his own two legs?
Any smart person would know what to choose!
Gazing at the boundless wasteland, Ye Xuan raised his eyebrows. Soon after, he carefully paid attention to his surroundings and walked towards a majestic mountain range.
"Hou! Hou! ~ ~ ~ "
Not long after, the angry roar of a vicious beast came from that mountain range, startling countless vicious birds into flying and beasts on the ground.
Suddenly, a strand of supreme might soared into the heavens, intimidating all directions. All of the vicious birds from before fell down, and even the beasts on the ground stopped. They all crawled on the ground, and their bodies shivered as they looked in the direction of the divine might. They didn't dare to move an inch.
However, after a short moment, this strand of supreme might dissipated in the air. The ten thousand beasts once again regained their freedom of movement, and one after another, they madly ran in all directions.
When Ye Xuan reappeared, he was already riding a huge beast with a tiger's head and a qilin's body. Its entire body was covered in purple-gold scales.
This was a Tigerman, and it was the overlord of this mountain range. The purple-gold scales on its body even faintly revealed a layer of bloody light. Its entire body emitted an extremely dense evil aura, and ordinary vicious beasts couldn't even remain calm in front of it.
This vicious beast was indeed extremely powerful. With a swipe of its claw, it directly smashed a several zhang large boulder into smithereens.
Unfortunately, this powerful beast had now become Ye Xuan's mount. It obediently allowed itself to be ridden by him, not daring to resist at all.
It wasn't that this ferocious beast didn't want to resist, but its previous experience caused it to not even have the thought to resist. Ye Xuan just casually slapped it and sent it flying far away, and the strand of aura that dissipated from his body pressed it to the ground to the point that it couldn't move.
Between Berserk Beasts, it was the law of the jungle. The strong could command the weak, and they could attack the weak at will. So if they wanted to survive, the smart Berserk Beasts knew what to do.
"Let's go!" Sitting on top of the Tigerman, Ye Xuan patted its head and said indifferently.
"Roar!!!"
Hearing Ye Xuan's words, the Tigerman let out a long roar. Then it turned into a purple-gold light and charged into the boundless Great Wasteland.
Although the Tigerman was not the best mount, its cultivation was quite high. This Tigerman's true battle strength was enough to fight against experts at the late stage of the Blood Movement realm and above. With a single step of its four hooves, it could travel several hundred meters in a single breath. So in less than an hour, it had traveled a thousand miles.
This place was already very close to the Great Floating Pool. Compared to the Great Floating Pool that only had vicious birds, fierce beasts, and poisonous insects, this place was gradually filled with people. There were a few small villages outside of the Great Floating Pool that relied on the protection of the Guardian Spirit and the Great Floating Pool to survive with difficulty.
Aside from these, the people Ye Xuan encountered the most were merchants. They entered and exited the primitive mountain forests to buy beast skins, spirit medicines, and other things from distant tribes. Although the trip back and forth was very dangerous, the profits were very considerable.
Of course, Ye Xuan also observed that these merchants were not purely honest merchants. Some of the guards in the caravans had eyes full of malice, and their bodies were filled with a heavy evil aura. Ye Xuan guessed that if these people were in the Great Wasteland, they would most likely become bandits.
However, this was also normal. The most profitable business was a business with no cost. The Great Wasteland was full of danger, and after killing someone and throwing them into the Great Wasteland, there wouldn't even be a corpse left in less than half a day. Even the effort of destroying the corpses would be saved.
"Ai, recently business has been bad. I heard that an Archaic Descendant came nearby, and two caravans have already disappeared!"
"I also heard about this matter. However, I heard that it wasn't an Archaic Descendant, but rather a group of vicious bandits. Not only did two caravans disappear, but a small village was also destroyed."
"What? There are actually vicious bandits that dare to plunder around the Great Floating Pool? Don't tell me they aren't afraid of the Great Floating Pool's punitive expedition?"
"This group of vicious bandits are very cunning. They only plunder the small villages and caravans around the Great Floating Pool. Moreover, they are disguised as Archaic Descendants, and there isn't any movement from the Great Floating Pool."
"I heard that this group of vicious bandits were just passing by. Apparently, they were looking for some hidden treasure. This is what I heard from a powerful village. It is said that this group of vicious bandits went there to scout for information."
"Hidden treasure? What kind of hidden treasure would actually attract this group of vicious bandits? "
"Who cares about the hidden treasure. I only hope that this group of vicious bandits can quickly leave. Otherwise, I don't think this business can continue."
"Ai, then we also have no other choice. Let's first rest for a while and see how things go. I hope that the Great Floating Pool's people will move out as soon as possible and chase away these vicious bandits. Otherwise, this business will not be able to continue in the future."
"Who says that's not the case?"
On the road, Ye Xuan was riding the Tigerman as he hurried along while listening to the news from all directions. A man and a tiger like him were naturally very obvious, but no one dared to have any ideas about him.
Not to mention Ye Xuan himself, just looking at the Tigerman beneath him, it was clear that ordinary caravans could not afford to provoke him. Ordinary vicious beast mounts would tremble with fear and trepidation when they passed by them.
And for Ye Xuan to be able to ride this vicious beast, from their point of view, if he wasn't strong, then he was a disciple of a large clan that came out to gain experience. This kind of person was the most difficult to provoke. Even if they killed him and destroyed the evidence, it might still provoke some kind of shocking big shot.
Just like that, Ye Xuan rode the Tigerman and followed a few caravans forward. Finally, a majestic and grand town appeared in front of Ye Xuan's eyes. This town was like a mountain range that stood tall on a plain. There were also some lakes in the surroundings, and the scenery could be considered pretty good.
Looking from afar, the huge town surrounded the entire town. Countless carriages and people rushed into the town from all directions.
The Wasteland was really too big. Even the Great Floating Pool, which had a population of ten million, didn't even occupy a thousandth of the Wasteland's territory. In addition to the vastness of the land, the people of the Great Floating Pool had no choice but to build fortified towns along the border in order to suppress the invading vicious beasts.
Seeing the flow of people at the town gate, Ye Xuan patted the Tigerman's head and strode towards the town gate … …
