Chapter 493 - Unknown Place
The blue light gradually disappeared from Yun Lintian's vision, and he immediately found himself standing on half-grasslands and half-jungle, with weeds running wild and short trees growing in a thicket.
As Yun Lintian surveyed the scenery, he could not feel the presence of or see any trace of any living beings nearby. The climate was warm and comfortable, and the smell of the air was somewhat better than any place he had been to.
The richness of profound energy in this place was at least twice the amount of the Northern Continent's. Yun Lintian was now certain he had arrived at the Central Continent.
"No wonder people from the Central Continent could easily reach a high level at a young age." Yun Lintian said to himself. With this intense profound energy, he believed that achieving the Saint Profound Realm before thirty years old wouldn't be a problem for him.
He took the map that Principal Tian gave him out and began to study it.
The Central Continent was vast, four or five times larger than the Northern Continent. There were countless cities, towns, and villages here. Just took a glance at Yun Lintian immediately felt dizzy.
He looked at it for a while and roughly remembered the general information of this continent.
Among these countless cities, there were only ten major cities located in every direction. The Divine Ancient Azure City was the most prosperous one. Its position was precisely at the center of the continent. As its name suggested, this city was naturally governed by the Azure Palace. The Jiang clan, Wang clan, and Long clan were all resided in this city.
"Where the hell is this place?" Yun Lintian put the map away and looked in confusion. He couldn't pinpoint his position on the map and could only try to find someone to ask about it.
Yun Lintian did not think about anything further. Instead, he concentrated on surveying his surroundings as he made his way forward along the gravel road with caution. He did not know what kind of place he had landed in, what kind of living creatures existed here… and if there were even any humans among these living creatures.
After he had walked a few kilometers, Yun Lintian suddenly felt the presence of living creatures. His brows twitched, and his steps slowed. As he neared the presences he felt, he soundlessly parted a cluster of high grass.
His gaze shot across the grass. In the middle of a small pond, he spied two young women bathing happily without caring about being seen by someone. Judging from their aura, they seemed to have strength at the Foundation Profound Realm, which slightly puzzled Yun Lintian.
Yun Lintian glanced at their body briefly and turned his gaze elsewhere, carefully checking the area around the pond. He soon discovered a mottled python around two meters long and about as thick as the mouth of a bowl hiding near a dense bush.
Yun Lintian's brows raised slightly. He could see that this python was at least the Spirit Profound Beast, and it kept staring at the two young women maliciously. If they were to attack by this python, undoubtedly, they would become its food.
Yun Lintian didn't want to be a busybody as soon as he arrived in the Central Continent, but he couldn't simply watch and do nothing. Anyway, he needed to find people to ask about his position.
Without thinking further, Yun Lintian decided to take action when the python launched its attack. Two breaths later, the python gradually approached the pond and prepared to attack the two young women as its head raised boldly.
"Th-that…!" One of the women with a little mole below her eyes pointed her finger at the python that had just appeared in her line of sight, stuttering. Her body seemed to petrify on the spot, did not know what to do.
"What's wrong, Sister Ya?… Ah!" Another young woman saw her good sister pointing at something behind her. She was puzzled and turned around. Upon seeing the python staring at them greedily, she immediately let out a shrill scream of fright.
The python was satisfied to see these two humans frightened by it. It immediately released power and lunged forward at the young woman nearby with its mouth opened wide.
"No!" The woman with the mole shouted in fright and tried to pull her sister back. However, the python's speed was too fast. Its giant mouth was almost reached her sister's neck now. It was impossible for her to pull her back in time.
Just as the python was about to bite the young woman's neck, Yun Lintian appeared in front of the python in a ghost-like manner. He sent out a simple punch, and the python's head was immediately broken into pieces.
Yun Lintian used his profound energy to wrap around the python's remains and threw them away before turning around to face the two women.
With a bright smile, he said. "Hello, two lovely sisters. My name is Mu Chen. May I know where this place is ?"
The two women were stunned, looking at Yun Lintian without blinking. In the next moment, they came back to their sense and let out high-pitched screams while trying to cover their bodies.
"Ah! Y-you, turn around!" The woman with the mole said in panic and hurriedly dragged her sister onto the shore.
Yun Lintian touched his nose in embarrassment and turned around… The scenery was really white.
A while later, the woman with the mole had already put her clothes on. She pulled her sister behind her and asked cautiously. "Y-you can turn around now."
Yun Lintian turned around and smiled at them as though nothing had happened before.
The two women scanned Yun Lintian from head to toe with caution before the woman with the mole said. "Thank you for saving us earlier."
Yun Lintian waved his hand and said. "It's nothing… Can you answer my question now? What is this place called?"
The two women looked at Yun Lintian weirdly and replied. "This is a territory of the Rain Village."
"Rain Village?" Yun Lintian repeated with a frown.. He didn't seem to see this name on the map… But the word Rain had reminded him of Xia Yao, making him moody for a second.
