Chapter 122 - In The White Mountain
Chapter 122 - In The White Mountain
30 kilometers away from Tong City, there was a big mountain called White Mountain. In all year round, not many people were interested in going to venture into this uninhabited mountain. After all, not far from this mountain, there was an entrance to the abyss.
White Mountain forest was also naturally uninhabited. After all, besides the flowers and trees, there were many poisonous insects and ferocious beasts or even abyssal beasts that escaped away from the abyss and hid in there. No one would go there for nothing.
Somewhere deep in the White Mountain forest, restless and endless rustling sounds resounded furiously.
A human figure could be seen dashing forward quickly as if he was chasing something. On the ground, a bulge appeared along the way quickly, it was as if something was diving underground constantly.
As that person was about to catch up with the thing underground, he took out a stone from his pocket and threw it at the thing under the ground in an angry manner.
Boom!
The ground exploded but the stone, unfortunately, missed its target. As if feeling the vibration of the explosion not far away, the figure under the ground rushed forward even faster than before.
"Damn it! If I catch you, I will peel your skin alive and boil you in water for sure. Hateful rat!" Seeing that he missed the target once again, that person cursed hatefully.
But he also felt strange, because it had been quite a while now since he began chasing that golden-colored mouse. But it seemed like that mouse still had so much energy and could run away endlessly.
He was also a 1st Tier Master, but he could not catch up with such a low-level rat? Thinking of this, his 'bar of hate' towards that mouse went up even farther and his speed became even faster.
Actually, everything started over twenty minutes ago. Over twenty minutes ago, he found a treasure guarded by a strong mutated beast and fought against that mutated beast for a while before he could kill that mutated beast.
But just as he was about to pick up that treasure, a golden-colored mouse appeared out of nowhere from the ground and snatched that treasure away.
The kind of feeling that he worked very hard for something but that something was snatched away by another person was really like eating a fly. But his situation was even worse because his treasure was stolen away by a strange mouse, and he could not even catch up with that shameless mouse even after chasing it for so long.
Fortunately, at that time, he reacted in a timely manner and managed to injured that mouse by throwing a stone at it. Otherwise, that mouse would've really been able to escape away from him completely long ago.
And the one who stole that treasure was naturally no one else but Xiao Laoxu.
Currently, his back was injured and it was very painful. Thankfully, he loved to store Great Energy Pills in his mouth. So if it were not for Great Energy Pills, he would've been exhausted a long time ago.
But the current situation was not so satisfying because the effect of the only Great Energy Pill was about to die out soon.
'Squeak, Master, please come to rescue me very soon, otherwise, Laoxu will really leave this world.'
Xiao Laoxu prayed secretly and felt the strange crystal in his mouth while running forward with all his might.
His two hands dug the ground forward continuously. He could of course dig the ground downward, but that would consume more time and he did not have so much energy to do so. What's more, with his opponent's strength, digging the ground after him would not be hard work at all.
So the only way to escape was to dig the ground forward quickly and wait for his Master's arrival.
Boom!
Boom!
The man threw the stone in his hand over again and the place where Xiao Laoxu ran past earlier had big a pit. But Xiao Laoxu did not dare to look back at all. Looking back was like looking for death.
It was also a kind of advantage that it was still in the forest as there were many trees around, resulting in the reduction of the man's speed to a certain extent. But if he arrived at the plain area where few trees grew… Xiao Laoxu was afraid that his fate would have to meet a dead-end.
At this time, Xiao Laoxu felt that the energy inside his body was becoming increasingly weaker and weaker. But the worst thing was that he found that there were no roots of trees anymore.
'Squeak, why is my luck so bad? Master, please come faster!'
Xiao Laoxu continued to pray.
Seeing that he had really arrived in the plain area, Xiao Laoxu decisively went out of the hole and ran on the ground instead.
"Haha, damn rat, caught you!" But as soon as he came out of the ground, a burst of evil laughter resounded suddenly.
Boom!
Just as the man was about kick the ground and increase his speed, a loud bang sounded and a powerful shock wave blasted towards him and Xiao Laoxu.
All of a sudden, the man and Xiao Laoxu were knocked down and seriously injured.
As the mantis was about to catch the cicada, the oriole gobbled the two of them up at the critical situation.
A pair of green eyes appeared in the silent and dark bushes near that, strange and terrifying.
A gust of wind passed over here and the trees made a rustling sound, intertwined with the painful groan of the man and the fainted Xiao Laoxu who fell to the ground, making the atmosphere at the scene very desolate.
A giant green wolf emerged from the big green bush. It stared at the hairless creature and a mouse in front of it with an awl-like gaze.
With its arrogant posture, it leisurely walked away from the bush and sat down, looking at its slowly retreating prey.
The large green hairs on its neck, chest and abdomen emitted a faint light green glow, which wrapped around the body, emitting a fierce and powerful breath of king.
The wolf's eyes showed a mocking look no different from a human at this moment, mocking the hairless creature in front of him.
Soon, the green wolf uttered a whining sound and its green eyes glowed slightly, it stood up at once, its long tail all flattened, like a saber about to be unsheathed, with an arrow on the string, ready to pounce forward with the posture of wanting to kill.
The wind was rising and the atmosphere of killing was permeated, the man who was a 1st Tier Master felt very bad. Now all conspiracies and tricks could not change the situation.
It was ridiculous to say that humans had always considered themselves to be primates, the smarted creatures on the planet, and the masters on this planet, but he, a 1st Tier Master, was plotted by a wolf and a mouse.
Based on the breath of the wolf, he estimated that its strength was actually not much better than his own.
But the point was that this mutated creature ambushed him and injured him seriously, making the balance of power between the two sides seriously unbalanced. Yes, it was a mutated creature, not an abyssal beast.
The beast he had fought with previously was also a mutated creature. He did not expect that he had encountered three mutated creatures in a row today. And yes, that golden mouse was also a mutated creature.
He first fought with a big snake, which had consumed a lot of strength, then he chased the golden mouse all the way and that consumed even more strength, and now he was ambushed by this green wolf.
Whoosh!
A black showed flicked across suddenly, the man forcefully ignored his pain and used his remaining strength to narrowly escape the attack, but his arm was still scratched.
The wolf raised its right food and licked the blood on it. It was very dissatisfied with the result of its sudden attack.
The wolf stared at the man and it walked around the man with light steps. But as it walked around, it suddenly came to the golden mouse who was in a coma.
Seeing this inferior creature, the wolf suddenly let out a flash of contempt and revealed its sharp claw, in a posture of wanting to slash this mouse into pieces.
Then, as its foot was about to fall on Xiao Laoxu, a chilling feeling arose out of blue, its hair stood straight entirely and a bad premonition appeared from the bottom of its heart.
This was the innate instinct of a beast.
'Danger!'
Whoosh!
A sharp whistling sound resounded from away, but strangely, it appeared next to the wolf the next second as if it could ignore time and space and teleported over suddenly.
Boom!
A phantom of a blue sword struck the ground and a big appeared.
"Presumptuous creature! You even dare to lay your hand on my pet! Looking for death!" A voice rang from the sky.
The green wolf who had narrowly escaped death looked upward and its wolf face revealed a stunned expression.
The 1st Tier Master who was injured also looked upward and was stunned.
The scene in front of them subverted their three views significantly.
An old man was riding on a sword majestically, looking like an immortal, and descending on the ground next to the golden mouse.
