Chapter 381: Chapter 312 The Building on Black Mountain? Strange Prohibitions!_1
“Damn it! What kind of accursed place is this!”
The skull-masked Fallen One’s muscles swelled tremendously, transforming into a massive skeleton. He stood alone before a Charming Beast, engaged in an intense battle.
Next to him, another Fallen One wearing an Evil Ghost skull mask was shrouded in a layer of poison mist, and any Charming Beast that got close to him became dazed, easy prey to be slaughtered.
“The Spirit Charm Blessed Land—my child sensed it—there’s something here that excites it beyond measure…!”
The Fallen One with the Gui Xiao mask spoke even more excitedly. Black mist surged behind him, morphing into a phantom that resembled a giant eagle, or perhaps a black phoenix, constantly twisting.
He also continually erupted with torrents of black flames, incinerating all the surrounding Charming Beasts to ashes.
“Epic, Legendary… maybe even a Mythical Realm prop!”
“Mythical Realm?”
The skeleton and the Evil Ghost both changed their expressions, exclaiming in shock, “Master Gui Xiao, are you telling the truth?”
Mythical Realm?
This was the realm of the absolute powerhouses who stood at the very pinnacle!
Although there were now around one billion people in Xia Country, with over twenty million Professionists,
the number of powerhouses who had reached the Mythical Realm was less than the number of fingers on one hand!
Even including all the nations and populations of Blue Star, the strength of those in the Mythical Realm had just barely reached double digits!
These were just over ten individuals amidst a population of ten billion, almost standing at the peak of all the Human Race!
Even if they were to fight to the last with other races, these ten or so individuals would have numerous ways to survive if they wished.
It could be said that these ten or so individuals were the ultimate foundation and backing of the Blue Star People!
And here, there was supposedly a Mythical Realm prop, which made both of them reconsider.
Gui Xiao said excitedly, “My child has a trace of the Nine Nether Sparrow bloodline in its soul—a creature born with the ability to sense the presence of bloodline treasures.”
“And the treasure embodied within the Spirit Charm Blessed Land excites it to madness!”
“Hahahaha, it’s mine! It belongs to Gui Xiao!”
“Congratulations, Master Gui Xiao!”
Huabo’s figure almost turned into a phantom, continuously slaying the Charming Beasts that approached from all around.
“If you manage to obtain this treasure, should we start calling you King Gui Xiao in the future?”
“Gaga gaga~”
Gui Xiao laughed hoarsely, “Huabo, you have a way with words. Don’t worry, I won’t let you down.”
Huabo quickly said, “Master Gui Xiao, there’s no need for such formality. You can call me Little Hua.”
“Master Gui Xiao, what should we do now…?”
Gui Xiao sneered, and his figure suddenly blurred as a huge pair of black wings emerged behind him, driving back the surrounding Charming Beasts and simultaneously enveloping the three of them under his gigantic black wings.
“Go!”
“Screech~!”
A piercing monstrous cry sounded as if a giant black phoenix appeared out of nowhere, carrying the four of them as they soared into the sky.
The surrounding Charming Beasts were either knocked flying or torn to shreds, completely unable to keep up with the group, and could only watch helplessly as they departed.
Two days later, before the massive black mountain.
A huge Black Dragon suddenly descended from the sky, crashing heavily onto the ground, causing violent tremors.
“Ow…!”
Jerry howled in pain, flying along when he suddenly felt the space around him stall, trapping him firmly.
An oversight led him to plummet straight down from the sky.
“Eh? Can’t fly here? There’s a No-fly restriction!”
Zheng Cheng leaped down, carefully observing the mountain peak.
The entire mountain was made of black crystals, devoid of any vegetation, an empty expanse.
Bald rocks stretched towards the peak of the mountain.
At the highest point, there seemed to be a palace-like structure?
“Black Mountain…”
Zheng Cheng murmured, “This is the training ground of a Legendary-level strong person, Spirit Charm. Ordinary people definitely can’t fly here.”
“Given that, let’s climb up!”
“Eh? Is that…”
At that moment he suddenly noticed intense thunder and black light flickering in the distance in another direction, shaking the entire Black Mountain.
“Captain Xu Qingfeng? Has he already gone ahead? I wonder who he’s fighting against?”
The Central Radar Life Monitoring activated, quickly spreading in that direction.
Indeed, a green light spotted there was Captain Xu Qingfeng.
And his opponents were three powerful Charming Beasts!
Jiao Ying Charming Beast!
“It seems that no matter which direction one comes from, one encounters Charming Beasts. In that case, why not follow in Captain Xu Qingfeng’s footsteps…”
Saying this, he thought to move in the direction of Xu Qingfeng, but after only a few steps his speed slowed, the air stiffening, as if there were invisible walls in the air obstructing his progress.
He stopped to ponder for a moment before realizing, “This Black Mountain has special restrictions. Can each person only choose one path? If so…”
Zheng Cheng no longer hesitated, picking up Jerry and swiftly making his way towards the mountain top.
Along the way, he killed many undead creatures transformed from the Charm Clan.
What puzzled him was that these creatures of the Charm Clan seemed to have no physical existence upon death.
As if with their demise, their bodies, souls, and all matter had evaporated from this world.
Absorbed by this Miniature World.
Somewhere deep inside.
Zheng Cheng could feel that after these undead creatures vanished, their essence seemed to be converging towards this mountain peak.
He looked up.
He could vaguely make out a structure, seated above it.
“What is that building above? Could it be related to the disappearance of this world’s Charm Clan?”
“Or could it be that this structure is the last remaining architecture of the Charm Clan? Something akin to a Temple or Shrine.”
His eyes shone with determination as his speed increased.
There was one other thing that surprised him.
The Charming Beasts that were originally chasing him at the bottom of the mountain retreated like the tide after reaching Black Mountain, as if they dared not approach Black Mountain at all.
“Hmm? Something’s not right!”
His face changed, “It’s not that the Charming Beasts dare not approach Black Mountain, it’s that the ordinary Charming Beasts dare not come!”
“Ca!”
“Ca!”
Suddenly, a weird and unpleasant screeching sound came from his ears.
Looking up, he saw a large group of monsters flying densely in the sky, black like crows.
These monsters were as big as oxen and looked like crows, with a slight red glow in their pupils.
There were at least a hundred of them.
They spotted Zheng Cheng racing up the mountain and immediately killed their way over!
With Zheng Cheng’s line of sight, he could also see in the distance at the foot of Black Mountain in another direction, a large number of monsters were flying in the air, diving towards the ground.
That direction, it was definitely those Cave Beastmen!
Following this trajectory and speed, they would meet at the summit.
Central Radar Life Monitoring swept through, immediately scanning the attributes of these Giant Crows in mid-air.
[Name: Spirit Charm Ghost Crow]
[Level: LV79]
[Physique: ???]
[Power: ???]
[Agility: ???]
[Spirit: ???]
[Skills: Spirit Charm Fire, Spirit Charm Blood Eyes, ???]
[Description: Members of the Charm Clan, they are the priests that serve the Spirit Charm Emperor. When the Spirit Charm Blessed Land was destroyed, filled with tremendous rage and resentment, they then transformed into half-living, half-undead creatures. Mindless, they protect their clan’s Blessed Land instinctually and kill all intruding living beings.]
Streaks of black lightning suddenly appeared on them, fiercely shooting towards Zheng Cheng on the ground!
“Boom!”
“Boom!”
Lightning ravaged everything, blasting giant pits into the black mountain.
And Zheng Cheng, atop the black mountain, was constantly flickering, narrowly dodging these streaks of lightning attacks.
“And this black lightning must be the third skill that I couldn’t figure out!”
“With the no-fly restriction over Black Mountain, how can these monsters fly?”
Zheng Cheng cursed under his breath and threw Jerry out with a flick of his hand.
“Roar!”
Jerry roared angrily, and with a spray from his mouth, corrosive venom filled with a rotting smell gushed out, engulfing these black Spirit Charm Ghost Crows and burning them fiercely.
At the same time, Zheng Cheng raised his hand again, pointing the Wand of Blossoms towards the group of Spirit Charm Ghost Crows in mid-air.
“Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body!”
“Boom!”
In an instant, fiery Dragon Breath and heartburning fire burst into flames, almost forming an illusory sea of fire in the air, burning continuously.
“Cackle cackle~”
Little Qing moved from one side, Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body was constantly warping space, pulling the all-consuming ethereal fire onto more Spirit Charm Ghost Crows.
“Ca~”
“Caw caw caw~!”
The hundred-odd Spirit Charm Ghost Crows immediately screeched, continuously spitting out Spirit Charm Fire and black lightning trying to kill the invaders of Black Mountain, but they couldn’t touch Zheng Cheng at all.
Instead, the Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body cast by Zheng Cheng and Little Qing was simply an utter disaster for them.
Once entangled by the ethereal fire, their entire bodies would burn to ashes in a very short time!
In just a few minutes, the sky returned to calmness.
The hundred-plus Spirit Charm Ghost Crows, all burned to nothing by the ethereal fire!
“With my Ethereal Fire Incinerates Body spell, I’m practically a natural enemy to the Charming Beasts; my climbing speed is definitely higher than the others.”
Zheng Cheng raced toward the summit again, even faster this time.
Looking back, he saw several small dots closing in on Black Mountain.
“I wonder where the others are right now…”
“Meet at the summit!”
Minutes after Zheng Cheng left the spot, a massive black giant bird suddenly descended from the sky, smashing hard onto the ground.
The tide of Charming Beasts behind them also stopped the pursuit, just roaring angrily at the foot of Black Mountain, but not daring to rush up.
“Hahaha! Lord Gui Xiao, what you said was right, these monsters indeed don’t dare to rush up Black Mountain!”
“Lord Gui Xiao, let’s hurry on!”
“There’s thunder flashing in that direction, I don’t know who it is…”
“Damn it!”
Gui Xiao cursed under his breath, “Black Mountain has a no-fly restriction, forbidding flight, we must proceed on foot.”
“Hurry up, let’s join forces! Go!”
The four of them advanced, and after a while, Gui Xiao suddenly said, “Stop!”
“Why did you guys run over there?”
“Lord Gui Xiao! I-I’ve been following you all along…”
“What’s going on…”
Gui Xiao frowned and said, “A restriction! It seems that the Spirit Charm Emperor only wishes for one person to enter that building… Everyone, use your own methods, let’s see who can get there first!”
“Alright!”
The moment the words fell, a pair of black wings appeared behind Gui Xiao, his speed surging.
Huabo was silent, but a pair of fleshy wings also burst out from his back, flying forward rapidly.
The skeleton and Evil Ghost also started to move swiftly, speeding up the pace.
Soon, another group of people arrived at the foot of Black Mountain.
The Cave Beastmen!
