Chapter 1628 - 1611: Strange Anomalies
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
A series of Gang Qi blasts hit the ground, and in an instant, a super pit with a diameter of thirty zhàng and a depth of about ten zhàng was created. Everyone immediately regrouped, and following Gu Nanshan’s instructions, they launched a frenzied attack on the demon beast. They used a great deal of effort to finally get the demon beast into the super pit.
Once they got the demon beast into the pit, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The demon beast’s defensive power was truly perverse, and they couldn’t make a move against it. After getting it into the pit, it couldn’t escape. But would just trapping the demon beast here be enough? What if it caught up with them again once they left?
As everyone was pondering these things, the demon beast in the pit began to move. To prevent attacks, it had always curled up into a spiny ball, rolling to attack others. But now, confined in the pit, it needed to stretch its body to get out. Under everyone’s gaze, the demon beast uncurled its body, intending to climb out of the super pit.
"Attack!"
Seeing the demon beast had uncurled, Gu Nantian immediately ordered everyone in the Gu Family to attack. The demon beast’s external defense was perverse, but now that it had opened its body, it was at its most vulnerable. Only by attacking the inside of the demon beast could they kill it.
Hearing the Family Head’s instructions, the elites of the Gu Family immediately understood his meaning. Streams of Fist Aura and Sword Gang continuously blasted over...
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
...
In an instant, these Fist Auras and Sword Gangs struck the body of the demon beast, causing countless blood sprays. Upon being attacked, the demon beast let out a series of pained cries and quickly curled up again, no longer able to move. It wasn’t foolish; faced with such circumstances, it could only curl up to save its life.
Now it was the Gu Family’s turn to be at a loss. Once the demon beast curled up, all attacks were useless. For the moment, they all looked to Gu Nantian, wanting to know what the Family Head would arrange next. Gu Nantian, seeing this, also didn’t know what to do and looked toward Gu Xiong.
Gu Xiong had no good solution for such a peculiar demon beast. Even if he took action, he probably couldn’t do anything about the demon beast. Besides, the future was uncertain, and he needed to conserve his strength as much as possible to deal with any potential danger.
After silently observing for a while, Gu Xiong’s eyes suddenly brightened, and he shouted to everyone, "Cut down the surrounding trees and set them on fire!"
That’s right!
How did we forget this?
By using fire, the demon beast would surely flee!
...
Upon hearing Gu Xiong’s words, many people immediately went to cut down the surrounding trees. After gathering some dry branches, they threw them at the edge of the giant pit and quickly started a fire. Before long, the branches began to blaze, growing increasingly intense.
Sensing the life-and-death threat, the demon beast knew it couldn’t stay like this, or it would be burned alive. In desperation, it uncurled its body again and attempted with all its might to climb the pit. At this moment, everyone’s attacks rained down on the demon beast like a torrential downpour.
Half a minute later, the demon beast had managed to climb halfway out, but by then, its lower body was already a bloody mess, staining the ground beneath red with its blood. It no longer had the strength to climb further, and even the power to wave its claws was gone.
"Let’s go," Gu Xiong instructed the Gu Family to leave quickly upon seeing the demon beast’s miserable state. The demon beast’s life force was rapidly draining, and even if they did nothing, it wouldn’t last much longer. There was no need to waste any more time on it.
When everyone heard the Old Ancestor say this, they too made no pause and quickly followed Gu Xiong and Gu Nanshan away...
This was just the beginning. Not only the Gu Family, but other forces and loose cultivators also encountered the same situation upon entering. As they journeyed, they continuously encountered various challenges, such as demon beasts that breathed fire, ones that moved at terrifying speeds, or even those that could turn invisible!
Not only did they encounter bizarre demon beasts, but also many inexplicable situations. For example, there were small insects that could bite through Gang Qi, frogs hidden in the grass that could release poison instantly, tentacles in tiny mud ditches that could strike, and countless spiders the size of washbasins that sprayed toxic webs...
In short, these circumstances made the various teams suffer greatly. Fortunately, there were many people who entered, and everyone collaborated to deal with the challenges, preventing severe casualties. The only thing everyone was pleased about was that the gains along the way were quite significant, far exceeding their expectations, even if not as exaggerated as previously touted.
However, everyone was very puzzled at this time. This new world was not as simple as they had imagined. Many things in this world, not to mention seeing them, they hadn’t even heard of them. Many people were wondering if this new world might be the relics left by some great power, and there might be some important dharma treasures or inheritances in here...
Compared to the situations encountered by these people, Lin Feng on the other side was quite relaxed. The people from the Xia Family and the Song Family also caught up smoothly. With Lin Feng leading the way, the Xia Family and Song Family naturally did not encounter any interference, except for what happened to Song Hai at the beginning; nothing else occurred.
Because everyone’s speed was quite fast, by noon, Lin Feng and the others arrived at a valley.
This valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides and faced water on one side. Inside the valley were many unusually tall trees, with wild grass as tall as a person everywhere, completely obscuring the situation inside. But at this moment, Lin Feng suddenly stopped. This immediately caused the massive group behind him to stop as well.
Everyone’s eyes turned towards Lin Feng, all wanting to know why he had stopped again. Could it be that they needed to take a detour? The mountain looked quite large—if they had to detour, it would probably add an extra hundred miles to their journey. This wasn’t a short distance!
While everyone was puzzled, Lin Feng spoke up and said, "This valley is not ordinary; there’s a natural formation here. The scene everyone is seeing is not real."
"A natural formation?"
"There’s such a thing here?"
"What might be inside here?"
...
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, everyone was immediately baffled and said one after another. Aren’t formations set up by people? How could there be a natural formation, and what might come out of it? Now everyone was curious about what exactly was inside the valley. If possible, they all wanted to go in and explore, as benefits and risks are proportional in this new world.
"Brother-in-law, what should we do?" Leng Hao asked casually without thinking much. All he needed to know now was what his brother-in-law wanted to do; as for the rest, he didn’t even consider it.
At this time, Xia Yuntian, Song Wuya, and Lei Yan also walked over, their eyes all on Lin Feng. Although they were all very tempted to go inside and have a look, they knew that this matter had to be decided by Lin Feng because they had no understanding of natural formations. If Lin Feng wouldn’t let them enter, they wouldn’t go in for anything.
Seeing everyone looking at him, Lin Feng smiled faintly and said, "Why are you all so nervous? This natural formation isn’t difficult. You all retreat a bit."
Lin Feng naturally understood everyone’s thoughts; he was actually curious about the hidden things inside as well. He had just analyzed this natural formation using Divine Sense and found it wasn’t difficult to break. He knew that natural formations vary, but this one was the simplest kind, so he explained this to them.
Upon hearing Lin Feng’s words, everyone immediately retreated, stepping back nearly a hundred meters, making space for Lin Feng. At this moment, Lin Feng slowly closed his eyes, pushing his Divine Sense to the extreme. In an instant, a whirlwind blew from Lin Feng’s body, spreading around, giving everyone a strange feeling.
Next, under everyone’s gaze, a Seven-Colored Gang Qi suddenly appeared on Lin Feng, burning like a flame. Only after nearly a minute did Lin Feng make a move!
"Whoosh!"
Suddenly, a beam of Seven-Colored Gang Qi shot out from Lin Feng’s body towards an empty spot mid-air in the valley, instantly colliding with an invisible barrier. Under everyone’s gaze, it created a series of ripples, which would have gone unnoticed if they hadn’t distorted the light.
Seeing this situation, everyone’s eyes lit up. Fortunately, they were following Lin Feng; otherwise, no one would have discovered such a thing. However, they were all curious about how Lin Feng would break this natural formation. Just as everyone was wondering, nine beams of Seven-Colored Gang Qi suddenly emerged from Lin Feng’s body again, shooting towards different positions on both sides of the valley.
Following the trajectory of the Seven-Colored Gang Qi, everyone saw that the targets of these nine beams were nine huge stones, instantly confusing everyone. Could it be that the innate formation Lin Feng mentioned was created by these nine stones?
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
"Boom!"
A series of explosions sounded as the giant stones hit by the nine beams of Seven-Colored Gang Qi shattered one by one, as if hit by cannonballs, with debris flying everywhere, even creating a pit over ten meters wide under each massive stone.
Then, an incredible scene happened!
As these massive stones shattered, the original appearance of the valley suddenly changed. Originally surrounded by mountains on three sides, two mountains now revealed a long, narrow small plain in between them. Looking around, this small plain was filled with all sorts of chaotic boulders and some massive trees with red leaves. In mid-air, there were also some strange birds with yellow demon energy and four wings flying!
