Chapter 18

Chapter 18 – Rebellion Within the Mountains

A group of people rushed straight towards the heart of the mountain . The Suan Ni’s life force had been completely exhausted as it passed away, meaning that an entire body of true blood and precious bones had become priceless treasures . How could they not be excited?

“Faster, we are moving too slow!” Shi Linghu and the others were anxious . They feared that they would arrive late, since ‘the early bird catches the worm’ .

Lofty mountain peaks surrounded them one after the other . The mountains were endless, and the ancient forest was extremely astonishing . The tree tops towered into the towers as they reach over 1000 meters tall . They overshadowed some of the mountains, and were ‘hiding the sky and covering the earth’ . Even vine grew for who knows how long, and even several adults could not wrap themselves around them . They grew alongside the mountains like a vigorous and young horned dragon .

The people of Stone Village madly rushed to get there, and when they arrived near the place where the Suan Ni perished, they felt a baleful aura . The aura was overbearing, and it was what the King of Ten Thousand Beasts left behind .

“So quiet!” Everyone felt that something was abnormal . This place was too tranquil, and not a sound could be heard, making it feel as if they were in a graveyard .

There wasn’t even a single bird present let alone ordinary beasts . Even the bugs and ants hid themselves within the caves in seclusion . The mountain forest was desolate, silent, and had a death-like tranquility .

“Before the Suan Ni died, it killed many vicious beats and started going crazy . The birds and animals here have all fled . ” Shi Linghu said .

“Something’s wrong!” Chief Shi Yunfeng suddenly said in fright and immediately said in an urgent voice, “Linghu, don’t be in such a rush . The carcass of a Suan Ni is rare and precious, and I don’t think we’re the only ones here . A few vicious beasts here are spying on us, so let’s retreat for now and not act recklessly .

He felt waves of dangerous aura, as if some powerful and desolate huge beast was approaching from afar . Its eyes were ice cold, and the old chief felt a chill on his spine, and immediately ordered the villagers to retreat .

The little guy also felt this . His hairs stood up and he clenched his fists . Shi Hao also told everyone that he felt this sensation .

Everyone rapidly scattered away, and did not approach that crumbled rock mountain .

“We’re just giving up like this… this is really is difficult to bear!” Shi Feijiao smacked his own chest as he felt an incomparable urge to choke .

“Let’s not rush in first, we must wait for an opportunity . A person’s life is the most precious thing . Despite a Suan Ni’s blood being incredibly frightening and possessing precious techniques that defies the heavens, we must still keep our lives to use them . ” Shi Yunfeng solemnly said .

They sped up faster and faster, and climbed up onto a vantage point on a tall mountain . They surveyed the surrounding from afar, and paid close attention to the circumstances from there .

There were a few traces of people . Sounds came out from that mountain nearby, and three groups of people came from different directions . Although they came from different directions, their goals were the same . They all rushed towards that crumbled rock mountain, wanting to excavate that Suan Ni’s carcass .

“As expected, it wasn’t just us who lusted over the ancestral descendent Suan Ni’s remains . Everyone who lives in this desolate area all paid attention to this . ”

The three groups of people came into contact, and without any provocations, they immediately conflicted, causing sounds of murder to disperse from within the middle of the mountains .

“AWOOOOO… . ”

Suddenly, five ferocious beasts appeared one after the other, and all of them were as big as houses . They all exposed their white carnivorous teeth, and suddenly pounced onto those groups of people who had the intention of fighting over the Suan Ni’s carcass .

At the same time, long cries could be heard from the birds in the sky . Violent gales erupted, and many vicious birds flew over . Each of them measured five to six meters long, and with a wingspan of over eleven or twelve meters, they dove down . Right away, over six or seven people were ripped apart as blood spilt everywhere .

This bloody scene was horrifying, and not to mention the people who were personally experiencing this, even the people of Stone Village who were observing from afar were all scared . Soon after, the vicious birds and the ferocious beasts all retreated; this was an absolute disaster .

“AWOOOO!”

Sure enough, beast cries could be heard occasionally from all over the mountains . The vicious birds and ferocious beasts who were scared away by the Suan Ni all came back . Their goals were to obtain the carcass of the Suan Ni and making themselves more powerful .

Not only did this happen in this part of the mountain, even other mountains from afar had movements from tyrannical living creatures . Cries of birds and beasts were occurring all over the place, and the entire mountain range was heating up .

All of the beasts began to revolt . The larger ones measured ten meters, and the small ones measured a few feet . In just a blink of an eye, over a few hundred of them appeared . These were all formidable species, otherwise, they would not dare to rush over . They resembled a flood as they swarmed over, violently howling along the way .

The same situation was happening in the skies as well . All kinds of bird species fluttered about with their steel beaks and sharp claws, ‘hiding the skies and covering the earth’ . It was like they were a gust of wind rushing towards this piece of the mountain as scales and feathers fluttered in the breeze .

“Run!”

Those three villages lost over forty people, and they all jumped into the middle of a river . They used the water as a mean of escape, otherwise, no one would be left alive .

On the peak of the mountain, everyone from Stone Village who were observing all had a blank expression . They had previously thought there would be vicious beasts fighting over the remains of the Suan Ni King, but they never thought that there would be this many .

Ahhh!

Those who thought they were safe after jumping in the water let out a blood curdling scream . There were several snakes over ten meters long rolling about . They opened their bloody mouth and instantly swallowed four to five people .

Kacha!

On the other side, a gold colored crocodile over ten meters long showed its presence . It opened its vacuum like mouth and instantly tore five or six people apart . Blood flowed through the cracks of its white teeth, dyeing the river red .

This sight made everyone’s bones shiver . The survivors quickened their pace and didn’t dare slow down again .

“So terrifying, luckily we decided to temporarily retreat . Otherwise, we’d likely end up in the situation as them . ” Ling Shihu still lingered in fear after finding out his back had been doused in his own cold sweat .

“Looks like this Suan Ni’s body is much more precious than we thought, or else why would groups of birds and beasts fight over it with their lives . ” Shi Feijiao said .

Over by the crumbled rock mountain, there were several hundred vicious beasts and birds of prey . They all fanatically battered ahead, wanting to dig one huge boulder after another to dig out the Suan Ni’s precious remains . They were also fighting each other at the same time; the smell of blood entered their nostrils and all kinds of roars and cries were deafening .

“There is too many fierce beasts, we’re not safe here . We can’t say for sure, but we might get involved . ” An elder exclaimed .

AWWOOOO… .

After his words just finished, a violent gale erupted on the mountain . Two huge beasts suddenly appeared together . They were seventy or eighty meters long each and were covered in brown fur . The long and fearsome beasts appeared side by side .

It was actually terrifying tigers, and two of them showed up at once!

The tigers’ upbringing were strange . They were disdained by their mothers and never drank any milk . They were discarded since their mortality rates were extremely high . If they weren’t starved to death, they would just be fed to other mountainous beasts . If by chance, one survives to grow up, its power would shake the entire mountain, eating all kinds of fierce beasts .

Now, there were two tigers that appeared . This was truly shocking . They were much more difficult to deal with than normal fierce beasts .

“HUU”, a violent wind blew by . One of the huge tigers took action and dove down . It opened its bloodied mouth, and all of a sudden bit two villagers . Kacha, one of them had their body snapped in half . Blood spewing out violently, and it was truly a tragedy to behold .

“Shi Lin!”

“Ah Yun!”

The villagers all voiced out their sorrowful anger . Like rain, iron arrows were shot out .

This was all too sudden . These savage tigers could fly and they measure seventy to eighty meters long . These kinds of huge monsters’ sudden appearance wasn’t something they could protect against . Naturally, they brought with them a bloody massacre .

“Bastards!”

Shi Linhu and Shi Feijiao roared loudly . The others brandished their broadswords and rushed forward . They brought with them a few strong, able-bodied males and charged in the direction of that huge tiger .

Despite the fact that these species of animals did not have ancestral treasured symbols on their bones, their corporeal bodies were extremely strong and fearsome . Their killing power was unbelievable . On their normal hunts, the villagers made sure that they avoid these creatures at all cost .

AWWWWOOOO…

The other tiger fearsomely roared and pounced from a different angle . With a wave of its claws, cold light flickered and the sound of ringing could be heard . Sparks flew in every direction, and broadswords as well as huge clubs flew out of the villagers’’ hands .

Pu

Among them, two people dodged a bit too slow, and their stomachs were tore apart . Blood spilled on the ground, and they suffered an unimaginably heavy injury . They were dragged towards the back by the other villagers .

“You overgrown cat, give my uncle Yun and the others’ lives back!” Shi Hao grew anxious and charged in with symbols on both arms lit up like a shining constellation . In the middle of his palm, specks of light formed and a disked silver moon appeared .

This disked moon appeared very real, as if a godly moon fell from the ninth level of heaven . Holy light radiated everywhere and rapidly rushed towards a huge tiger .

DANG!

The huge tiger waved its huge fan-like claw, and cold light spewed everywhere as it clashed against the silver moon . The sound of metal could be heard, shaking the entire mountain .

One must know that this silver moon could split huge boulders . Its strength was limitless, but just now, this huge tiger used its claws to shake it off .

In this brief deadlock, with a pu sound, this tiger let out a world shaking roar . One of its claws finally broke off, and blood poured out, painting the ground red .

At the same time, that silver moon’s strength did not decrease . With another pu sound, the moon chopped towards the tiger’s head . All of a sudden, it cleaved a huge crack, and a terrifying wound continuously bled out .

The beast’s roar shook the sky and trembled the forest . This huge tiger shook violently, and with a look of disbelief, the light within its eyes gradually faded . With a rumble, it dropped into the middle of a pool of its own blood .

This was in fact a precious technique of the Green Scaled Eagle, and its power was astonishing . With Shi Hao’s one strike, it beheaded a terrifying huge tiger .

“Good shit! Little guy, do it again!” Shi Feijiao shouted .

Shi Hao turned around and charged towards the other tiger . With the light on his palms lit again, the terrifying power of the precious technique showed its horrifying might again . The silver moon streaked across the sky, and that seventy or eighty meter long huge tiger’s neck started to bleed profusely . The silver light turned around, and chopped straight towards its head, and with a gudong, it dropped onto the floor .

That huge beast’s blood spouted out like a river, splashing all over the villagers’ bodies .

“Such a terrifying precious technique!”

This type of attack method was held in reverence by many of them .

After the little guy killed the two huge tigers, he was caught in a daydream . This was still his first time in the forest killing a beast . He looked down on his white and tender little hands and spend a long time speechless .

“It’s nothing, don’t fear the smell of blood child . Which male growing up in these desolate mountains didn’t come in contact with blood? Everyone’s like this . ” Shi Linhu walked past and patted his shoulders

Shi Hao lifted his head with some effort . Even though his heart wasn’t at peace, right now, he tightly shut his mouth and didn’t speak too much . If he didn’t just kill those huge tigers, many more villagers would have suffered death .

“Precious techniques are truly difficult to comprehend . It can kill huge beasts and save people . If we can obtain the Suan Ni’s ancestral symbols, it would truly be a great fortune . ” After a long while, the little guy finally muttered to himself .

A loud bird cry sounded from the middle of the clouds, and a Green Scaled Eagle appeared before rapidly descending, bringing with it a fierce gust of wind .

The little guy jumped up before waving his hands and yelling loudly, “Auntie Green Scaled Eagle, help me! You’re the overlord of the outer mountain region, and I can also help you a bit . Let’s fight over the Suan Ni’s precious techniques together!”
