Xu Xiaolan and Xuanyuan Cheng’s teams didn’t come back to Ding’an City. Clearly, they planned on spending their night out in the wilderness.
People who were strong were naturally braver.
After all, with the power they possessed, there were already very few mutant beasts which could threaten them.
Resting in the wilderness meant that they could save the time needed to return back. As such, they would also be able to hunt more mutant beasts.
The only reason that Su Qianyun returned was in order to give An Lin the beast core.
The next day, An Lin’s team set out again.
This time, they killed whatever beast they came across, sweeping away all obstacles in their path.
Xiao Chou, dispose of this Thunder Leopard!
An Lin yelled.
Dashing at a speed faster than the Thunder Leopard, the Golden-Eyed Monkey King’s body became a streak of light as his staff smashed down.
Boom!
Mutant beasts killed+1.
Xiao Chou, those two White-Boned Wolves are laughing at us, finish them off!
The Golden-Eyed Monkey King’s staff lashed out with ferocious power, shattering the bodies of the two White-Boned Wolves.
Mutant beasts killed+2.
…
Behind An Lin, Miao Tian was humming a catchy tune, Zong Yongyan was yawning, and Sun Shenglian was holding a makeup mirror and combing her hair out.
Apart from Luo Ziping who was itching to do something useful, everyone else was completely bludging…
Monkey Brother, you are so great. Wuxing mountains can’t contain you, out leaped Monkey Sun… 1
An Lin also started humming a tune.
As if finding a kindred spirit, Miao Tian’s eyes lit up. She ran next to him and also started humming,
When there’re troubles, we think of you~ Where there’re dangers, we’ve got bro! Battle-seasoned, leading the charge~ Condemn evil, uphold virtue, heart of a Buddha! Your name is spread and known~ Your story is spoken and told…
Hearing this tune, Xiao Chou’s emotions surged, and he put even more effort into his battles!
Just like that, another day passed.
In this day, An Lin’s team slaughtered thirty-six mutant beasts.
This was a pretty decent result. What more…
It was all done by Brother Monkey!
With Brother Monkey providing support, they didn’t return to Ding’an City this night. Rather, they set up camp where they were.
Zong Yongyan and Miao Tian were skilled with spell formations, so they were in charge of setting up defensive and warning spell formations around the camp.
After setting up the spell formations, everyone sat around a campfire and started roasting meat.
Today’s main course was the Six-Winged Bird which they caught at dusk.
Six wings… Just enough for six grilled wings.
Moreover, they were super large grilled wings, with each wing weighing a few pounds!
They sat around the raging campfire, and each of them held a massive wing which they kept flipping and turning over.
Xiao Chou was an expert at roasting meat, and he helped everyone add spices to their wings. At the very end, he also drizzled oyster sauce onto the wings.
The wings cackled in the scorching flames, and they slowly became golden brown. The tender and juicy meat started exuding a mouth-watering aroma, one that was unique to roasted meat.
Miao Tian couldn’t hold on any longer and took a bite out of the fragrant wing.
Her eyes lit up.
The skin is charred and crispy, and the meat inside is tender and tasty. It’s delicious!
Hearing this, the others couldn’t contain themselves anymore and started chewing on the wings.
An Lin bit into his wing. Because he added some chili powder, there was also a tang of spiciness.
He could taste the delicious flavor on the tip of his tongue. Being the meat of a mutant beast, it was also slightly chewier.
That taste… was absolutely amazing!
And thus, everyone sat around the campfire while chowing down on their wings.
Even Miao Tian—who had the smallest stature of them all—almost finished the entire gigantic wing by herself. What more, Xiao Chou even chowed on the bones.
After dinner, An Lin laid down in satisfaction and gazed at the starry sky.
The stars in this world were beautiful.
Looking closely, he could even make out a galaxy stretching across the skies.
Big Brother An, are you gazing at the stars and thinking about life?
Miao Tian was licking the sauce off her fingers, and there was a look of craving on her face.
She was dressed in pink daoist robes, and with short black hair and an extremely pretty face, she appeared especially dainty and adorable.
For some reason, seeing Miao Tian right now reminded An Lin of Earth’s Tian Lingling.
I grew up on Earth and only recently found out that Earth was created byNuwa 2
. The reason that we need to descend into the mortal world is in order to maintain the stability of that world,
An Lin said slowly.
Hearing this, Miao Tian blinked at An Lin, unsure of why he suddenly started mentioning these things.
Tai Chu Continent is gigantic, so gigantic that even till now, there’s no complete map of it,
An Lin continued.
The textbooks say that Tai Chu Continent is the cradle of all matter, created by Pangu when he separated the sky from the earth. There can be countless small worlds, and there can be countless mystic realms. However, there can only be one great world.
I’m just thinking… who defined Tai Chu Continent to be as such? Is this definition truly the reality?
Miao Tian yawned. She didn’t expect him to be mulling over such boring questions. This question was as boring as asking ‘where am I from, to where will I go’.
Won’t you know whether this definition is true or not if you just go and ask Pangu?
An Lin:
…
Sure, why not just tell him to go ask the heavens.
After pondering about life for a while, An Lin returned to his tent for some rest.
The night passed peacefully.
The next morning, they continued on their journey of hunting mutant beasts.
Today, Luo Ziping’s fists craved blood. He partnered up with the Golden-Eyed Monkey King and together, they slaughtered the mutant beasts. The other four people remained as bludgers.
With the addition of Luo Ziping, they should have been able to slay more beasts.
After a day’s work though, they only managed to kill twenty-six mutant beasts, a full ten fewer than the previous day.
They were wandering throughout the depths of the Myriad Mountain Realm, and logically speaking, they should have come across a lot more mutant beasts. For some reason though, it felt like there were even fewer mutant beasts here compared to the region earlier.
That night, they couldn’t find the delicious Six-Winged Bird. Instead, everyone started chewing on the meat of a Savage Golden-Footed Ox.
Sigh, why are we so down on luck today? Could it be that my choice to fight alongside Big Brother Chou was wrong?
Luo Ziping asked bitterly. He chewed on his beef miserably.
If there’s an extremely powerful beast nearby, then the density of mutant beasts will also decrease. Could it be that we entered the territory of some Spirit Beast or Soul Beast?
Zong Yongyan asked anxiously.
Hearing this, everyone fell deep into thought. It would be fine if they came across a Spirit Beast, as they were not fearful of such a beast.
However, if by any chance it was a Soul Beast of the Soul Formation Stage, then they would be in grave danger.
…
The next morning, An Lin and the others had a brief discussion and decided to take another route.
When noon arrived, they had only killed thirteen mutant beasts. At this rate, their results would be even worse than yesterday.
What the hell? Have the mutant beasts all been frightened away?
An Lin was bewildered.
Right at this moment, however, Xiao Chou suddenly bent down and put his ear to the ground.
Then, he rode a cloud into the skies, his golden eyes blazing as he looked into the distance.
What the hell indeed! It’s a beast tide!
he yelled.
Seeing the stampede of beasts in the distance, the Golden-Eyed Monkey King’s expression changed drastically.
