Chapter 0004: Strange Trees and Fierce Beasts
Thus, the nine ferocious beasts were dealt with in a short period of time
It was a mastiff, with thick and long fur around its neck, resembling the mane of a lion. Its size was comparable to that of an ordinary Tibetan mastiff, and its paws bore the blood of a leopard
In ancient times, some tribes might have regarded this golden raptor as a Roc.
This is the Mastiff King, and Chu Feng speculates that it is even more formidable
He raised his head again, looking towards the top of the Bronze Mountain, revealing a different expression
Its leaves are carved like green jade, translucent yet rich in spirit, shaped like a child's palm, cradling some glistening dewdrops. When the gentle breeze passes, it resembles white pearls rolling on a jade plate
In this post-civilization era, the world has experienced several upheavals. Although the vast majority of people are unaware of the details, there is always a small portion of individuals who are privy to the truth
Meanwhile, three snow leopards also moved, racing at lightning speed towards the summit of the Bronze Mountain
It appears to be a golden eagle, devoid of any stray feathers, its entire body gleaming, and its size is astonishingly large, exuding a formidable presence. Its golden pupils shine brightly, embodying a wild nature, and it carries an air of ferocity.
At the same time, the sharp claws scraped against the soil and stones on the ground, producing a piercing sound that was unsettling. It soared into the air, with the wind howling.
These are the words of Lin Nuo Yi, very plain, as if spoken casually
A look of indescribable astonishment appeared on Chu Feng's face; the size of this creature was immense, far surpassing that of its kind.
At the top of the small tree, there is a flower bud, the size of a fist, entirely silver-white but adorned with golden spots, poised to bloom amidst the sheer cliff, already exuding a delicate fragrance, very beautiful
The golden giant bird is fierce, yet it does not immediately dive down; instead, it circles above. It possesses extraordinary sharpness and has evidently realized the power of the crossbow in Chu Feng's hand
Throughout this process, the black yak has been staring at the small tree on Bronze Mountain, remaining completely still and surprisingly calm from beginning to end
However, it was too swift, leaping several meters forward and pouncing ahead
The three snow leopards are far stronger than their typical counterparts, their sharp claws glinting with a cold light, and their powerful bodies poised in a stance ready to pounce at any moment
Chu Feng immediately retreated, choosing a favorable terrain, leaning against a large rock, and then he held a folding crossbow, aiming at the sky, cautiously on guard.
Chu Feng was deeply astonished, for these three creatures were truly extraordinary
Is she implying something?
Chu Feng's emotions had calmed down; he furrowed his brow, pondering all of this—the strange plants, the eerie bronze mountain—none of it conformed to reason
What does Lin Nuo know after all
Three snow leopards slowly approached from the base of the mountain, silent and stealthy, their pupils dark and deep, with bloodstains clinging to their mouths. Their snow-white fangs were sharp, clearly indicating that they had recently hunted some creature.
He reacted swiftly, his body agile, and with a quick roll, he evaded rapidly. He rolled a considerable distance down the mountain, during which he took out a folding crossbow for self-defense, assembling it efficiently and swiftly.
One day, perhaps a weed by the roadside will bear fist-sized bright red fruits, and the ordinary things we see may no longer exist
The trunk is as thick as a wrist; although it is not tall, it bears old bark that is cracked, resembling layers of scales, exuding a sense of rugged strength
It can only be traced back to a world that has increasingly become incomprehensible due to several past upheavals
There are many loose stones underfoot, and Chu Feng has already reached the edge of the bronze mountain. The path here is too difficult to traverse
Upon approaching, they paused briefly, feeling a slight agitation upon seeing the large black yak, and then glanced at the golden fierce bird, revealing their unease
This startled Chu Feng; the black yak was so enormous that it walked as silently as a snow leopard, appearing abruptly and without any prior warning.
The howl of the wolf echoed, fierce and tragic, with blood splattering as a blue wolf had its neck bitten through and was flung away.
Does she really mean something? Following her line of thought, many ordinary things may soon change, so what about the already extraordinary rare trees?
The large black yak raised its head to glance at the golden fierce bird in the midair, and then remained still, quietly standing there, gazing towards the summit of the bronze mountain
There were six wolves, all of them tall and stronger than their kind. The leader, the "head wolf," was entirely snow-white, with only one eye that glowed with a faint green light, making it appear the most ferocious
The three peculiar creatures were all very composed, as if they possessed a human-like spirit, exhibiting great patience. Their target was the small tree, yet they did not act immediately, seemingly waiting for something.
As it landed, the mastiff pounced on a snow leopard, its roar terrifying. They rolled around there, a release of primal instinct
Moreover, the three snow leopards were very afraid of this large, glossy black yak, and they hid in the stone mill, which is quite unusual
What is approaching
The other wolf was struck by the fierce dog and was sent flying, crashing against the stone wall, and immediately became listless
The mastiff leaped again, covering a distance of seven to eight meters. Its large paw descended with a force comparable to that of a bear's paw, and with a thud, it struck out the eye of a wild wolf, sending it rolling away
Bang
This can be described as a king of the oxen, measuring over one zhang in length, with sturdy limbs and a massive physique, resembling a small black mountain as it stands there
Especially in the Kunlun Mountain region, it adds an air of mystery
Generally, eagles and falcons can easily crush the skulls of prey such as wild rabbits. The power of such a large golden raptor is evident. If there had been even a slight delay just now, the scene would have undoubtedly been quite tragic
The snow leopard lay in a pool of blood, its throat pierced, and it was clear that it would not survive
A golden raptor, with brilliantly shining wings that stretch up to five or six meters long, swoops down from the sky, nearly catching him just moments ago
How did these three species end up here
Such a small tree, even before undergoing any transformation, is undoubtedly extraordinary
Chu Feng could hardly believe that there was such a formidable mastiff! With just a few leaps, it was about to finish off those wild beasts.
The last snow leopard has died, leaving only the one-eyed silver "wolf" desperately fleeing, rushing down the mountain, hoping to escape from here alive
With a sharp sound, the steel arrow flew across and struck a large bluestone not far away, sending sparks flying in all directions, narrowly brushing past the fierce bird, which surprisingly managed to evade it
The strange little tree stands quietly and proudly
Her figure emerged in his mind, and Chu Feng let out a sigh. Although he felt a sense of melancholy, he decided to let the past remain in the past
He retreated from the side of the copper wall, arrived at the flat area, and walked around the mountain while looking up.
Regard bronze as soil, serving as nourishment, tenaciously taking root, entirely green and shimmering, radiating a luster
In mid-air, golden raptors soar, their ferocity overwhelming, skimming the mountainside and stirring up a great wind
A chill ran down Chu Feng's spine; had it not been for his quick reflexes just now, the consequences of being caught by this ferocious bird would have been unimaginable
Because ancient people often exaggerated in their records. A golden ferocious bird measuring five to six meters in length would certainly be considered an anomaly; if it were to appear, it would undoubtedly cause a great stir
However, within a few ups and downs, it was caught up by that mastiff, which opened its large blood-filled mouth and fiercely bit through its neck, nearly severing the entire wolf's head.
Suddenly, the fur of the three snow leopards bristled, the hairs on their necks standing upright. They quickly evaded, leaping up and entering the pile of rubble.
A loud crash echoed, and the face of a snow leopard became disfigured, blood and flesh in a state of chaos, as it fell heavily from the mountain, having been knocked over by a yellow shadow.
A figure emerged in his heart, for that person had once said some words that he had not paid attention to at the time, but now they stirred something within him
It is not very tall, yet it appears exceptionally formidable, with its sandy-colored mane stained with the blood of other fierce beasts, exuding an imposing presence
Chu Feng believed she was referring to matters between the two of them, asserting that in life and emotions, there is nothing that cannot be changed
Silently, a yak appeared on the mountain, its body entirely black and shiny, the black fur resembling satin, flowing with a dark luster. A pair of thick horns rose up, facing the sky
I have never seen such a large bird
Chu Feng was aware that he was in a perilous situation and did not act rashly; he was waiting for an opportunity to leave
This Tibetan mastiff is even more formidable than rumored, as swift as lightning, it charged into the herd and, upon mere contact, dispatched one leopard and two wolves
The Chu wind receded, and he wished to leave at this moment
According to local residents, the Tibetan mastiff lives in the wild and can rival tigers and leopards, with its numbers being extremely rare and seldom encountered by humans
Chu Feng tightly gripped the folding crossbow, standing ready in formation, on guard in this place that was truly too dangerous
This is the true mastiff rumored in the Tibetan region! Chu Feng was astonished
In the distance, six or seven beastly figures were running towards the mountain at a rapid pace, revealing their white fangs, their ferocity unmistakable
Suddenly, a gust of wind surged in, and Chu Feng's eyelids twitched uncontrollably. He saw a shadow suddenly appear on the ground, about to cover him completely.
At the summit of Kunlun Mountain, on the highest cliff, a three-foot-tall tree grows alone.
This mastiff was not injured, its neck adorned with long hair standing upright like a lion's mane. Although its size was not large, it possessed a unique presence akin to that of a mythical beast, and it leaped again, charging towards several other ferocious animals
At the same time, he saw what it was
Near the mountain peak, the sounds of beasts roaring incessantly as they compete to ascend
And that golden ferocious bird circled in the air, just as it had not long ago, looking down upon this place
Just like when she broke up with Chu Feng, there was a hint of indifference in her tone, and her voice seemed distant, as if she were speaking from a great height.
With a furrowed brow, Chu Feng did not expect to encounter such danger; in the sky were golden ferocious birds, and on the ground were leopards running at high speed, placing him in a precarious situation
It is impossible for a typical golden eagle to be this large; this one is an anomaly, far from normality
Chufu attempted several times, but indeed could not ascend this side of the Bronze Mountain. He decided to take a risk and climb from the side filled with rolling stones, but he needed to be especially cautious, or he might lose his life
Suddenly, the tranquility was shattered as six ferocious wolves exerted their strength, simultaneously charging towards the mountain peak along the rocky terrain
They stared at Chu Feng, their bodies slightly hunched, while also glancing at the golden raptor in the midair, filled with apprehension, emitting low growls of unease
When outdoors, especially when traveling alone, how can one be without some self-defense tools? Chu Feng turned around and shot out a steel arrow with a bang
The mastiff fell silent, its mouth covered in beast's blood, but not its own. It remained motionless, gazing up at the small tree on the bronze cliff.
It was like a flash of lightning, too swift, suddenly appearing from an oblique angle, charging into the herd of beasts
How could it grow on bronze? Chu Feng could not understand
Suddenly, Chu Feng caught a whiff of a fishy smell
