Chapter 10, Zeyun Mountain (Part 2)
After running over 1,000 meters, the four injured members of the Qin Monster finally reached the foot of Zeyun Mountain.
Although a soil-colored thorn could not possibly break through the defenses of the four peculiarities of cultivation and the exquisite spiritual weapon battle attire of Yun Tianhe, the sheer number of soil-colored thorns was overwhelming. After one wave of attacks, another wave of thorns followed immediately.
"With these individuals scouting the way, I believe our chances of reaching the depths of Zeyun Mountain and obtaining the Heavenly Spirit Spring water will significantly increase! We should be grateful to them!" Another man, dressed in tattered robes and appearing as frail as a skeleton, spoke in a piercing voice.
As the five members of Yuntianhe were about to enter the foot of Yunze Mountain, a number of Level 4 spirit beasts resembling mice emerged from the muddy swamp, transforming into streaks of earthy light. In conjunction with the misty environment, they launched a fierce attack on Qinguai and the others
Buzzing, the Qinguai and others elevated their earth source power to its peak, standing ready and cautiously prepared for the ambush of the spirit beasts lurking within the layers of the earth
Facing hundreds of Level 4 spirit beast mice, the four peculiar cultivators did not dare to confront them head-on. They hurriedly pulled Yun Tianhe and swiftly fled into Yunze Mountain.
Although we do not wish to, the mist surrounding Zeyun Mountain not only restricts the extension of spiritual power but also exerts significant gravitational force. Given our abilities, our flying altitude is limited, and the higher we ascend, the greater the spatial pressure becomes. Once our speed is constrained, it is easy to encounter danger. Feeling the immense pressure of the mist in mid-air, the four members of the Qin Monster team felt an increased sense of pressure and a hint of fear towards the mysterious Zeyun Mountain.
As the more than ten Level 4 spirit beast mice were sluggish, the three peculiarities of chess, calligraphy, and painting unleashed a series of attacks using top-tier spiritual artifacts, easily piercing through the bodies of the more than ten unresponsive Level 4 spirit beast mice, killing them. Waves of foul-smelling fresh blood emanated from the bodies of the deceased Level 4 spirit beast mice
Hold on ~ as long as we enter Zeyun Mountain, we will be safe! The plump, round face of the piano monster twitched slightly as it tightly grasped Yuntianhe, continuously quickening its pace.
"Tianhe, be careful. We may soon find ourselves in a fierce battle! According to my estimates, there are at least dozens of spirit beasts hidden beneath our feet. If we want to enter Zeyun Mountain smoothly, we must eliminate them!" The instrument monster transmitted this warning to Yun Tianhe.
Elder Zhiqiu of Qingwei Palace entered the foot of Zeyun Mountain, where the thick fog had surprisingly thinned by several degrees. In the distance, they saw an elderly man with white hair and a youthful appearance, exuding great power. The four members of the Qin family were slightly taken aback and did not dare to linger, quickly leading Yuntianhe into Zeyun Mountain.
The four individuals of Yuntianhe cautiously advanced for over an hour, and as they approached the foot of Yunze Mountain, the earth, bathed in a layer of mist, suddenly emitted a rustling sound.
Yun Tianhe and the others also sensed a pervasive aura of death surrounding Zeyun Mountain. They all summoned their strongest spiritual artifacts and unleashed their soul power to lock onto the surrounding space, proceeding cautiously.
Big brother, what should we do! It seems that the number of spirit mice is increasing!" Looking back, the instrument monster discovered that it was surrounded by Level 4 spirit beasts, the spirit mice, and was so frightened that its face turned pale. It anxiously transmitted a message to the instrument monster.
Hmph ~ They dare to venture into Zeyun Mountain now, truly unaware of the consequences. It seems that with the emergence of the Heavenly Spirit Spring, many will have to sacrifice their lives for it!" A beautiful woman, dressed in a long robe with purple and gold trim that accentuated her voluptuous figure, sitting beside Elder Zhiqiu of Qingwei Palace, remarked disdainfully as she watched Yun Tianhe and his group swiftly enter Zeyun Mountain.
Having refined the exquisite spiritual armor, Yun Tianhe gradually approached Zeyun Mountain alongside the Four Peculiar Cultivators. However, the closer they got to Zeyun Mountain, the thicker the mist in the air became. Moreover, Yun Tianhe was astonished to discover that this mist, which obscured their line of sight, actually had the effect of limiting the extension of spiritual power.
So powerful ~ Could it be a master of fusion! Witnessing the methods of the elderly man with white hair and a youthful face, Yun Tianhe, who had followed the four eccentric cultivators to escape to the side, muttered in astonishment.
As the rustling sound grew increasingly dense, the expressions on the faces of Qin Guai and others became more somber. Judging from the intense sounds of friction from the earth, there were at least several dozen spirit beasts moving within the ground. If such a crisis were encountered on the outskirts of Zeyun Mountain, even Qin Mo would find it somewhat troublesome
Everyone be cautious, as it is said that there are numerous spirit beasts inhabiting Zeyun Mountain! Deep within Zeyun Mountain, there are even terrifying earth beasts present! With the soul realm of the Qinqiang monster at the late stage, it can only extend its perception to a range of one hundred meters. Sensing the strange mist of Zeyun Mountain, the Qinqiang monster cautiously transmitted a warning to Yun Tianhe and the others.
Everyone be cautious, there are spirit beasts ahead ~ the number is difficult to determine! Although a single spirit beast is not enough to pose a threat to the likes of Qinguai and others, if the spirit beasts gather in large numbers, it will be quite terrifying
Qingwei Palace – it seems to be a major force in the realm of cultivation! Upon hearing what the Qinqiao said, Yuntianhe murmured.
Not bad ~ Let those people first explore the true nature of Zeyun Mountain. We will enter on the night of the full moon, when the mist is at its thinnest!" Feng Manmei nodded, then closed her bright eyes, ignoring the affairs of the world, and began to regulate her breath in preparation.
With a swift motion, the elderly man with white hair and a youthful appearance easily killed over one hundred Level 4 spirit beast mice. He gently waved his dust brush, and a powerful arc of white light spread out, directly sending the remaining Level 4 spirit beast mice flying away.
With a gentle wave of his hand, the elderly man with white hair and a youthful appearance sent forth a snow-white whisk from the book, and tens of thousands of white strands, resembling steel bars, shot out, continuously expanding their range, crossing the Cloud River and the four peculiar cultivators, reaching the forefront of the relentless pursuit by the fourth-level spirit beast group
"Beast! How dare you be so arrogant!" Feeling the approach of hundreds of Level 4 spirit beasts, an elderly man with white hair and a long white beard, whose appearance belied his age, stood up holding a snow-white whisk and said
With a series of soft sounds, tens of thousands of white threads easily penetrated the bodies of over one hundred fourth-level spirit beast mice, pinning the corpses of these deceased fourth-level spirit beast mice to the ground
The reason the Four Oddities of Cultivation chose to flee towards Yunze Mountain is that a large number of cultivation experts have entered Yunze Mountain. As long as there are cultivation experts present, the Four Oddities of Cultivation will have the opportunity to escape.
Under the sonic wave attack released by the piano demon, the fourth-level spirit beast mice (late stage of the Nascent Soul) trembled violently, standing dazed in place
At this moment, dozens of cultivation experts who were recuperating at the foot of Zeyun Mountain sensed the group of fourth-level spirit beasts closely pursuing the Four Strange Cultivators, and each of them quickly opened their eyes.
Bang bang bang ~ Just as the four members of the Qin Monster were filled with terror, the entire earth began to shake violently. Hundreds of Level 4 spirit beasts broke through the ground, and the Qin Monster shouted in fear: "Everyone, quickly flee to Yunze Mountain! There is a swarm of spirit mice here, and the number of spirit mice and books may be in the hundreds!"
Although the four members of the Qin Monster did not feel happy after easily killing more than ten Level 4 spirit beasts, they instead displayed a grave expression. This was because the soul power they released, which permeated into the ground, sensed that there were actually hundreds of spirit beast auras emerging from the entire underground.
However, in order to obtain the Heavenly Spirit Spring Water that could significantly enhance their realm, the four members of the Qin Monster did not retreat, but instead cautiously made their way towards the foot of Zeyun Mountain
The hundreds of Level 4 spirit beast mice that emerged from the trembling ground, upon seeing Yun Tianhe and the others fleeing, flashed a fierce light in their narrow eyes. Their soft fur suddenly stood on end, and a barrage of yellowish barbs shot out, densely penetrating the mist and targeting the four peculiar cultivators as well as Yun Tianhe
The remaining four-level spirit beast mice, feeling the terror of the elderly man with white hair and a youthful appearance, squeaked in panic and hurriedly burrowed into the ground, disappearing from sight
After several continuous shots, the high-grade spiritual armor of the Four Oddities could no longer withstand the assault, resulting in numerous cracks. Streams of blood flowed out along the damaged high-grade spiritual armor.
"Why don't we fly into the sky and avoid the spirit beasts in the ground?" Yun Tianhe communicated in confusion.
However, the four members of the Qin Guai had long been prepared. The earth source power surrounding their bodies instantly solidified, entwining with the four exquisite spiritual instruments of qin, chess, calligraphy, and painting, and they coordinated seamlessly to confront the more than ten spirit beast mice that emerged from the ground.
