Chapter 1054 – Mountain Beaver
Chapter 1054 – Mountain Beaver
The crowd entered the secret realm, finally escaping the flames of Fire Dan Mountain and getting a moment of respite.
Xu Chuniang surveyed the secret realm in front of her, and the color of amazement flashed in her eyes.
This secret realm she was in was not as vast and desolate as the Void, nor was it as hot and unbearable as the Fire Dan Dan Mountain; there were many trees growing up to a hundred feet tall, strong and upright, giving a sense of recklessness and antiquity.
Because the trees are too tall, a glance at the past can not see the head, in the middle of it, only feel themselves as small as ants.
This is not an exaggeration at all, purely because the trees in the secret realm are excessively large, even if it is a piece of the most ordinary leaves, can easily wrap any person present completely.
The three Earth Devils, including Chen Xi, were not entering this secret realm for the first time, and had long been familiar with these tall trees. Seeing the crowd’s faces in disbelief, he took out a vial, and while spreading the powder in the vial evenly around him, he explained.
“It is said that the ancient Witch Race was very tall, that’s why every blade of grass and tree here is so huge, but these things are just bigger in size, there isn’t much that is special about them, so they don’t need to be overly concerned.
This place is called the Hundred Zhang Forest, it’s relatively quite safe, and there’s no black breath here, so we don’t need to take too much care when absorbing the magic crystals, let’s rest and reorganize here for three hours, and then set off again three hours later.”
“He’s lying.”
The rabbit-eared female cultivator didn’t move and moved closer to Xu Chuniang, quietly transmitting, “The Ancient Sorcerer Race is very powerful, and in this secret realm, there is no such thing as a safe place at all, and the Hundred Zhang Forest is no exception.
But in that bottle, it is indeed something good, what is contained in the bottle, is a powder ground from the bones of the Witch Clan’s corpses, the odor emanating from the powder can deter the beasts in this forest, it is just that the taste is a bit strange. “
Witch clan bones?
Xu Chuniang really smelled a strange odor, and the source of the odor was precisely those powders that Chen Xi had scattered.
“You know quite a lot.”
“If you want to take the Witch God Flower, how can you do it without making some preparations in advance, I came prepared, you definitely won’t suffer if you cooperate with me.
Without further ado, let’s hurry up and recover our magic qi first, I don’t have such a good thing in my hands, and if we run out of magic qi in a while, there may not be time for us to slowly replenish it.”
After saying that, the rabbit-eared female cultivator sat down on her knees and took out the magic crystals to absorb them quickly.
Xu Chuniang withdrew her gaze and followed the others’ example of taking out magic crystals to replenish the depleted magic qi in her body.
With the protection of the Sorcerer’s Bone Powder, the next three hours really didn’t encounter any danger.
Three hours later, seeing that the magic qi in everyone’s bodies had recovered more or less, the leader, Chen Xi, announced that he would continue on his way.
“Crossing the Hundred Zhang Forest, in front of us is the Wubu River, and following the Wubu River all the way up, we will arrive at Shashe, the destination of our trip.
Shashe is the former residence of the ancient Witch Clan, where numerous caves left behind by the Witch Clan are buried, and whoever discovers a Witch Clan cave will be rewarded with twenty thousand magic crystals!”
Twenty thousand magic crystals!
The crowd’s minds floated, a look of longing in their eyes.
As long as they found a witch clan cave, they would be able to get 20,000 magic crystals, this reward was considered extremely generous, after all, they worked hard to accompany the team out of the city, and they would only be able to earn a few thousand magic crystals for selling their lives for the most part of the month.
The only two people who know something about the Wushui secret realm do not have too much joy on their faces, Shashe is still very far away from here, not to mention the Wubu River in front of them, even in the Hundred Zhang forest right now, there are also many dangers.
It is better to walk to Shashe alive first.
Under the leadership of Chen Xi and the other three Earth Devils, the group quietly and swiftly traveled through the Hundred Zhang Forest, however without the protection of the Witch Clan’s bone powder, they were soon targeted by the ferocious beasts in the forest.
Before the group had time to react, they only felt a strong wind lashing at them from behind, followed by the sudden sound of miserable screams, followed by the scalp numbing sound of chewing. The remaining nine people turned around to look, only to see that on top of a huge tree a hundred feet away, a massive mountain beaver was squatting on a branch, elegantly licking the fur on its paws.
At the corner of its mouth, there were still a few strands of blood that it hadn’t had time to clean up.
The hairs of the crowd stood on end, staring at the distant mountain beaver as if they were on guard, if this mountain beaver had attacked them, I’m afraid that at this moment, it would be them who would die.
Xu Chuniang was also shocked out of a cold sweat, the speed of this mountain beaver was really too fast, no one could see how it struck and how it ate the unlucky one that was captured.
“Team Chen, what should we do? The strength of the mountain beaver is too strong, I’m afraid that it has a strength that is not inferior to that of a Heavenly Demon, we’re not its match at all! How about, running?”
“Can’t run away!”
The panic in Chen Breath’s heart was in no way less than the others, but after thinking of this Mountain Beaver’s habits, he forced himself to calm down and calmly transmitted his voice to the rest of the group.
“Before I entered the secret realm, I had heard about the habits of this ferocious creature, it is naughty and mischievous by nature, it likes to watch its prey’s dying and struggling appearance the most, if we run away, we can’t outrun it, but instead, we’ll be chased down one by one and toyed with until we die!”
“We can’t run away, and we can’t beat it, so what should we do?”
“Wait.”
Chen Breath stared vigilantly at the mountain beaver in the distance and continued to transmit his voice, “When it loses interest in us, it will naturally leave.”
Hearing the response given by Chen Xi, many people secretly frowned, feeling that this method was really unreliable, how could they trust their lives to the kindness of a ferocious beast?
But under the eyes of the mountain beavers, no one dared to act rashly, even if they had opinions in their hearts, they did not show them.
Because the mountain beaver in the distance had finished cleaning up the blood at the corner of its mouth at this time, and was casting its gaze towards the crowd with great interest.
It looked at this one moment, and that one moment, seemingly comparing who was more delicious.
Those who were swept by its gaze, all had their hearts jumping, fearing that the next second, they would be torn to pieces by the beaver’s giant claws.
A heavy shadow enveloped everyone’s heart, the sense of oppression brought by the mountain beaver was just too strong.
In this suffocating atmosphere, someone finally couldn’t take it anymore, “Waiting like this is too torturous, instead of passively waiting for luck to come, I’d rather put up a fight!”
With that, he shifted his body and fled in a direction away from the mountain beavers.
“Ow!”
The mountain beaver’s originally narrowed eyes suddenly went round, staring excitedly at the escaping figure as it arched its body and made a leap in the air, bringing out gusts of strong wind and a series of stumps.
In the next moment, miserable screams rang out once again, the person who escaped, fell into the beaver’s mouth, and instantly lost his voice.
While holding the prey in his mouth, the beaver did not forget to look back at the remaining eight people, with a hidden intention of showing off in his expression.
Witnessed the whole process of the mountain beaver attack, the remaining eight people have a deeper knowledge of the strength of the mountain beaver.
With their recluse speed, they simply couldn’t run away from this mountain beaver that was known for its speed.
