nChapter 355: Mysterious Egg Inside the Heavenly Peak Mountain?

n“Thorny Fire Badger?”

nWang Che looked at the half of a head on the ground.

n

n

nIts head was round and one could tell at a glance that it was the Thorny Fire Badger they had encountered in the Earth Fire Competition.

nIt was fate that they could meet here.

nThis place was still a distance from the area of the Earth Fire Competition.

n“Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!”

n

n

nThe Thorny Fire Badger crawled out of the ground and sized up Wang Che, then looked at the little caterpillar, Bear Treasure, and the other two.

n‘Why are you here?’ It asked.

n“Then why are you here?” Wang Che smiled and asked, “Have you found your home?”

nAfter the Earth Fire Competition ended, he had parted ways with this guy on the seventh level.

n

n

n…

nThe Thorny Fire Badger nodded solemnly and shook its head.

n“Roar!”

nBear Treasure immediately walked over and happily greeted the Thorny Fire Badger.

nThe Thorny Fire Badger had taught it the Rock Fighting move and could be considered a temporary master.

n“Woo?”

n

n

nThe Thorny Fire Badger glanced at Bear Treasure and looked at Wang Che in confusion.

n‘Is this your bear cub?’

nWhy was there such a huge difference?

n“It evolved,” Wang Che said.

nThe Thorny Fire Badger looked at Bear Treasure in surprise and shouted.

nThe general meaning was that there was a problem with this place. It had walked for the entire night and had not walked out.

nThen, it sensed the aura of humans here and wanted to come and take a look.

n“Is there a problem?”

n

n

nWang Che’s heart jumped.

nThe sky had not changed since last night.

nThere was indeed a problem here.

nThere was a lot of thick fog around. This fog also blocked the perception of mental strength, causing the communication signal to be cut off.

nWang Che felt that it should have been trapped by an array formation, the Soul Guiding Diagram.

nOr was it some mysterious power?

nIt might even be related to the Oracle Phantom Spirit.

nActually, it was fine if there were accidents.

nWith Wang Che’s experience, if nothing happened, it would be even more impossible to find the Oracle Phantom Spirit.

n“Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!”

nThe Thorny Fire Badger looked around and extended its paw to Wang Che.

nThen, it burrowed into the ground and moved in another direction.

n“Let’s go and follow!”

n

n

nWang Che called the three of them and immediately followed.

nThe Thorny Fire Badger should have been here for a while. Although it did not know the reason, it was definitely more familiar with this place than him.

nThis familiarity was not just on the map.

nInstead, it was a sense of familiarity.

nThe Thorny Fire Badger circled around, but Wang Che gradually felt a faint sense of danger.

n“The danger in the area of the Heavenly Peak Mountain is only limited to soul beasts…”

n“The other factions shouldn’t exist… Since the Heavenly King said that he had eliminated them, there shouldn’t be such an accident.”

n“Then other than soul beasts… the other unknown dangers can only come from inside the Heavenly Peak Mountain… Since the Oracle Phantom Spirit appeared here, there must be something strange here.”

nBefore long, the Thorny Fire Badger stopped and crawled out of the mound, revealing a head. It held a finger to its mouth like a human and shushed it before pointing ahead.

nWang Che glanced ahead.

nThis should be the foot of the Heavenly Peak Mountain. The terrain was dangerous. There were many dangerous rocks and trees around. Most of the plants had been burned by the Earth Fire, and the ground was desolate.

nThe location the Thorny Fire Badger pointed at was a dark hole.

nThere were many such holes in the Heavenly Peak Mountain. Most of them were holes burned by the Earth Fire. There was nothing special about them.

n“Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!”

nThe Thorny Fire Badger hissed.

nIt meant that the tremor just now came from this hole.

nNot only that, it had just entered to investigate and discovered that the hole was bottomless. Occasionally, a low roar came from the abyss.

nEven with its personality, it could not help but want to retreat, so it did not continue asking.

nMoreover, last night, when the thick fog first appeared, a portion of it came from this cave.

nIt was very mysterious.

n“Ssss!”

nThe little caterpillar seemed to be quite excited about this hole. It let out a cry and wanted to rush in to explore.

nCharge! Charge!

nIt had recently read the Sword Shrouding Heaven story and heard that the protagonist, the caterpillar, was exploring some mysterious lands. Its interest in exploration had increased greatly.

nWang Che grabbed its tail and stopped it from rushing over.

nSoon, the Thorny Fire Badger let out two more cries.

nWang Che pondered for a few seconds.

nHe understood what the Thorny Fire Badger meant.

nIt did not want to go down because it was afraid of death. It wanted to go out.

nIt had come to the Heavenly Peak Mountain a few times. This time, it was mainly to find evolution materials for its underlings who were about to evolve.

nIt was to help the underlings evolve smoothly.

nIn the end, they did not expect to not be able to leave after entering. Be it underground or underground, it was as if there was an invisible membrane covering them. Once they crossed over, they would discover that they were only passing through the Heavenly Peak Mountain.

nNow that it felt that it was not strong, it might die before it could discover what it was.

nAfter conversing with the Thorny Fire Badger, Wang Che learned the situation.

nAccording to what the Thorny Fire Badger knew, it had come to the Heavenly Peak Mountain many times.

nSuch a special situation had never happened before.

n“Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!”

nThe Thorny Fire Badger suddenly let out a few cries!

n“What else did you think of?” Wang Che asked.

nThe Thorny Fire Badger immediately hissed as if it was telling a story.

nIt was born a thousand years ago and had been in the Transversal Peak Mountain Range since it was young.

nAt that time, its parents, grandparents, and family were still in the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.

nLater on, when it had just turned a hundred and was ignorant, its parents handed it to its old grandparents and left the family.

nIt went to the mysterious interior of the Heavenly Peak Mountain. From then on, its parents never returned.

nAt that time, there were many soul beasts in the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.

nIts father was the leader of the Thorny Fire Badgers. It was powerful and had a soul power cultivation of ten thousand years.

nTherefore, even in the Transversal Peak Mountain Range, other soul beasts usually did not provoke them.

nHowever, after its parents left, the Thorny Fire Badgers became leaderless and slowly began to decline. In fact, not a single Honey Fire Badger could evolve into a Thorny Fire Badger for hundreds of years.

nWith the decline of the family, they were naturally chased out of the core area of the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.

nIt was in the area of Heavenly Peak Mountain.

nAt that time, the area of the Heavenly Peak Mountain was the core of the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.

nThis place was filled with soul power, various rare plants, and countless strange flowers and fruits.

nIt was definitely a good place for wild soul beasts to cultivate.

nAfter being chased out, it slowly grew up. Its grandparents unfortunately passed away due to aging and fighting other soul beasts.

nFortunately, it had outstanding talent since it was young. Even if it was chased out of the Heavenly Peak Mountain area, it had some achievements after hundreds of years of cultivation.

nIt even successfully evolved into a Thorny Fire Badger.

n“Woo!” The Thorny Fire Badger said solemnly.

nAfter growing up, it went to the Heavenly Peak Mountain several times to find its parents.

nIt was useless.

nAccording to what it knew, its parents had gone to the interior of the Heavenly Peak Mountain to find a way to break through the upper limit of the Thorny Fire Badger.

nIt was rumored that some rare treasures would grow in the Heavenly Peak Mountain every once in a while.

nThese rare treasures were said to be able to help them break through their upper limit.

nAs for this rumor, it had always been circulating among the soul beasts near the Heavenly Peak Mountain.

nWhen Wang Che heard this, he felt that it was a trap.

nIt was both good and bad.

nAmong humans, unless they had an extremely deep understanding of soul beasts outside the mountains, they might not know this history.

n“Inside the Heavenly Peak Mountain…”

nWang Che frowned slightly, “The Ancient Fiend is below the Heavenly Peak Mountain… Interesting, why did this Ancient Fiend choose to live on the Heavenly Peak Mountain? Could it be related to the Ancient Fiend? But if it caused such a commotion, it means that it might have already awakened?”

nHowever, if it woke up, there would definitely be news from the Divine Light Whale.

nIf it did not wake up, how was this situation related to it?

nOr could it be that there were other secrets hidden in this mountain?

nWang Che closed his eyes and looked back at the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.

nIn terms of terrain, the Transversal Peak Mountain Range spanned millions of miles and was vast and boundless.

nAmong them, this Heavenly Peak Mountain was located to the west of the Transversal Peak Mountain Range, the place of origin.

nIn the basic subjects of high school, there were brief records and descriptions of the Transversal Peak Mountain Range.

nThe formation of the mountain range had existed since ancient times, but it was not so wide back then.

nHowever, the Heavenly Peak Mountain was different.

nThe Heavenly Peak Mountain was a peak formed in the Fallen Ancient Era.

n“In the words of the cultivation world… the terrain of the Heavenly Peak Mountain is high and dangerous. The earth vein is natural and is an excellent place to be born. From the map, the Heavenly Peak Mountain is the first part of the Transversal Peak Mountain Range. The vein is filled with spirit. No wonder a demon spirit like the Oracle Phantom Spirit was born.”

n“There’s no spirit vein here. The abundant soul power here is related to the terrain.”

n“But such a good place should be greatly developed by modern humans. However, there are no traces of development here.”

n“Moreover, before the Oracle Heavenly King came, she did not say that the soul power here was rich and far inferior to before?”

n“It seems that there’s indeed something in this mountain.”

nThinking of this, Wang Che glanced at the distant hole.

nIn the current situation, if it were anyone else, the best choice was to wait for the Heavenly King to arrive.

nNo matter how strange it was, to an existence like the Oracle Heavenly King, it was only a matter of time before it was broken.

n“Since the Oracle Phantom Spirit appeared here, it means that there might be a disaster here. It’s probably not a calamity beast, but a spirit beast that can sense a disaster. It only appeared to resolve the disaster, not cause it…”

nWang Che opened his eyes and nodded, “Let’s go in and take a look.”

nThe little caterpillar shouted and rushed over with its tail wagging.

nThe Magnetic Sword and Bear Treasure followed.

nThe cave path was rugged, but it was not dark.

nThe cave was filled with rocks and spikes. The terrain was strange. There were many flowers and plants that emitted a dark purple light.

nSome stones were like stalactites that flickered.

n“Soul Forgetful Grass.”

nWang Che had a thought and continued walking along the stone path.

nThe terrain was falling. Interestingly, there were no forks.

nThere was only one way to descend.

nThe soul power became thicker and thicker, and the soul plants growing around increased.

n“Woo!” The Thorny Fire Badger whispered.

nIt seemed to have a bad feeling.

nThere were more and more good things in the cave. It could be seen from the soul plants around.

nHowever, the emptiness was the strangest thing!

nHow could such a good place… not be occupied by powerful soul beasts?

nBefore long, two violent roars came from ahead.

nIt was as if two soul beasts were fighting?

nThe cave shook as rocks flew. It was very difficult to stand firm.

nThe interior of the cave was very large. It could even accommodate a large soul beast that was tens of thousands of years old.

n“From the sound… it doesn’t seem to be a soul beast from the Transversal Peak Mountain Range…”

nWang Che frowned slightly.

nThere was a strange roar mixed in the roar, like a devil-type soul beast?

nWhy were there devil-type soul beasts in the Heavenly Peak Mountain?

nAs he carefully approached, Wang Che saw a black soul beast with a spiral head and two feet. It looked like a bull and had six teachers.

n“It’s indeed a devil-type soul beast… Six-legged Mara.”

n“A wild demon-type soul beast… Why is it here?”

nThe Six-legged Mara was a devil-type soul beast. Its quality was at the peak of the King Realm. It was a rather violent devil-type soul beast.

nWang Che frowned slightly, but when it saw the soul beast opposite the Six-legged Mara, it was slightly stunned.

n“Oracle Phantom Spirit?” Wang Che whispered.

nThe soul beast opposite the Six-legged Mara was the Oracle Phantom Spirit he had seen before.

nThe size was identical.

nIts snow-white body flickered with starlight. Its small body of 20 centimeters still looked mysterious and strange!

nCompared to the Six-legged Demon King that was more than ten meters tall, it was as small as a grain of rice.

nWang Che could not sense the cultivation of the Oracle Phantom Spirit.

nTo be precise, he could not feel it.

nOn the contrary, the Six-legged Mara could be sensed.

nIt was close to 20,000 years.

nThe Oracle Phantom Spirit shuttled between the Six-legged Mara’s body and streaked across the stars, but it was not injured at all.

nThe various powers unleashed by the Six-legged Mara seemed to be invisibly resolved!

nBefore long, the Oracle Phantom Spirit let out a low cry like a young beast. The Six-Legged mara seemed to have been struck by a mysterious force as its huge body fell to the ground.

nIt raised countless rocks and dust.

nThe three of them stood in a row and watched with interest. Their eyes widened.

n“Something is wrong…”

nWang Che pondered.

nAfter the Six-legged Mara fell, the Oracle Phantom Spirit seemed to have discovered Wang Che.

nIt let out a cry and disappeared into the air.

nWang Che was not in a hurry to catch up. Instead, he stood where he was and pondered.

nThe Thorny Fire Badger urged.

n‘Hurry up and chase!’

nPerhaps the situation on the Heavenly Peak Mountain was caused by that soul beast!

n‘Catch it first!’

nWang Che did not chase after it. Instead, he turned around and walked back.

nThis stunned the Thorny Fire Badger.

nThe little caterpillar and the others did not understand either. They were about to charge over when they saw Wang Che suddenly walk back. It felt very strange but they still followed.

nHowever, after walking for a while, the path was dark.

nThe soul plants he had seen on the way had also disappeared. Everything seemed to be an illusion.

nIt was pitch-black.

nThe little caterpillar spat out a wisp of flames. The light seemed to be unable to shine out, but it also seemed to be sealed.

nThere was nothing around, no path.

n“Use your Spirit Eyes to look around again.” Wang Che immediately said.

nBear Treasure walked out. Its eyes flashed golden as the three types of flames spun rapidly. The surrounding world immediately changed.

nAfter a while, Bear Treasure shook its head, indicating that it did not see any changes.

nThis meant that the surroundings were real and there were no illusions.

n“Interesting…”

nWang Che pondered for a few seconds and turned around.

nWith every step he took, after a while, Wang Che looked back and everything seemed to have disappeared.

nIt was as if space had been destroyed.

nThey could only move forward and not retreat.

nWalking past the body of the Six-legged Mara, Wang Che glanced at it. He could still feel abundant life force from this soul beast.

nHowever, it was lying on the ground motionless. No one knew what had happened.

nWang Che stopped and looked at the Six-legged Mara. He suddenly said to Bear Treasure, “Look at it with your Spirit Eyes.”

nBear Treasure immediately looked at the Six-legged Mara and was shocked.

n“Let it show its true form!”

nWang Che said in a low voice, “After using the Spirit Eyes to see through illusions, it will reveal itself.”

nA pale golden light shot out of Bear Treasure’s eyes and shone on the Six-legged Mara.

nThe next moment, the size of this Six-legged Mara began to change.

nFrom a size of more than ten meters, it slowly shrunk.

nThe two horns on its head began to disappear.

nIn the end, it became a normal rock-type soul beast, the Rock Horn Rhino.

nWhen the little caterpillar and the Magnetic Sword saw this, they were immediately shocked.

n“It’s not injured… Let’s go.”

nWang Che glanced at the Rock Horn Rhino and said slowly.

nAs they continued forward, they encountered a few more fallen soul beasts.

nThey were all devil-type, but they were all fake.

nAfter Bear Treasure used the Samadhi Spirit Eyes to shine, they returned to their original state. They were all normal rock-type soul beasts in the cave.

n“Woo! Woo! Woo! Woo!”

nThe Thorny Fire Badger was confused.

nThey did not know what was going on.

nThe path behind was gone. Walking back seemed to be a dark abyss.

nThe soul beasts they encountered as they advanced were all fake.

nThere was also the mysterious Oracle Phantom Spirit.

nThis cave seemed to be strange everywhere.

n“We should not be at the Heavenly Peak Mountain anymore.” Wang Che said lightly.

n“?”

nThe Thorny Fire Badger was stunned.

nIt did not understand.

n“I don’t know where it is, but this place shouldn’t be the Heavenly Peak Mountain anymore.”

n“What can we encounter if we continue forward…”

nWang Che was not sure either.

nHowever, that Oracle Phantom Spirit…

nThe path ahead seemed to have no end. The Thorny Fire Badger walked for an unknown period of time.

nIt felt as long as a century. There were a few times when it could not hold it in anymore.

nAmong them, only the little caterpillar and the others were still excited.

nAt this moment, a light flickered in the distance, as if it was the exit.

nThe Thorny Fire Badger pointed ahead and shouted excitedly.

nThe light meant that the exit was finally reaching the end?

nWang Che walked over in silence. Before long, he saw the source of the light.

n
