Over The World, Beyond Heaven

Chapter 1051: Murky Valley

Half a day passed...

Thump! Thump! Thump!

Aaaaa!

"I didn't think there would be so many monsters on this route. We've only been traveling for half a day, but we've already encountered more than ten monster beasts. Moreover, all of them are at the third and fourth levels of the Deity Apprentice Stage. Why aren't there any lower levels?"

After Zheng-Fu and his group left the Three Suns Force, they traveled for half a day before stopping to rest. Throughout half that day, they encountered more than ten monster beasts. Although they were not too strong for Zheng-Fu's group to handle, it still made them feel quite tired.

"That's right! This is very strange. Normally, there shouldn't be such many monster beasts in this area. I came around here many times before. But every time, I only encountered one or two monster beasts. Or is something bad going to happen here?" Zhe-Chun said with a thoughtful look. He wondered and thought it was very strange. It made him afraid that something bad would happen in that area.

"It's not auspicious to say this, Zhe-Chun! Don't you know that you can't say things like this in the forest?" Yun-Xiang-Kong thought so too, only he did not say it out loud. Because it might cause discomfort to everyone in the group. So, he scolded Zhe-Chun with a dissatisfied expression.

"I think the same way about Zhe-Chun. Because these monster beasts look strange. They looked like they were running away from something. Or maybe there was something that made them so angry!" Men-Xiang-Du also thought the same way. At first, he had not felt any discomfort and thought it was normal. But as more and more of them came in, he began to suspect that these monster beasts might have attacked them because they were angry.

"That's right! I noticed that too. Just now, when the Thorny Lizard Monster Beast attacked us, their eyes showed that they were angry. It was as if someone had provoked them into anger and lured them to attack us." Yi-Lin-Qi also felt that this was strange. She thought that this might have happened because someone made these monster beasts angry.

"So what do you think, Zheng-Fu?" Of course, everyone had the same opinion. But they wanted to know what Zheng-Fu thought.

"I think this matter is not normal. It might be as Elder Sister Yi said. Maybe someone was playing a trick on us. That person must definitely be a vile person and someone whose parents did not train them well. Or perhaps it was because his family and ancestors had deep-seated evil in their natures, which was why they were able to do such bad things!"

Zheng-Fu smiled evilly before speaking in a calm and plain tone. But his words were harsh and deeply affecting. The reason why Zheng-Fu spoke like that was because he sensed that someone was secretly watching them from a distance. And he thought that this person was the one who made those monster beasts angry and attacked them on the way.

Oh!

"Zheng-Fu! Your words are very cruel. Even though I'm not the one who gets criticized, I feel hot-headed too. But you really curse well!" Yun-Xiang-Kong smiled and gave Zheng-Fu a thumbs-up for his curse. Because he was very satisfied when he heard it.

"Then it means that this is someone's work, right? Whose action!?" Zhe-Chun nodded in agreement with Yun-Xiang-Kong's words regarding his compliment towards Zheng-Fu. But what he wanted to know was who had done this. Because doing something like this was very shameful.

"I don't know about that either. But no matter who he is, his plan would definitely not succeed. And if he thinks of doing worse things, I'll never let him go!" Zheng-Fu still had no intention of dealing with the person who was spying on him. He just said in a fierce and serious tone as he turned to look at the person who was secretly watching them.

Not too far away from where Zheng-Fu and his group were...

Ah!

"Did that kid know about me? Untrue! There's no way he can touch me. His energy level was only at the third or fourth level of the Deity Apprentice Stage. He shouldn't know my identity!"

The person who was secretly watching them was a middle-aged man. He was a member of the Three Suns Force as well. This man was at the eighth level of the Deity Apprentice Stage. He, therefore, thought that Zheng-Fu would definitely not know of his existence. But Zheng-Fu's eyes looked toward his direction, indicating that Zheng-Fu was actually looking at him.

"Is something wrong, Zheng-Fu?" Zhe-Chun saw Zheng-Fu looking in the direction of the forest with a strange expression, so he asked.

"Nothing. Let's continue our journey. Once we find a suitable place, we can rest." Zheng-Fu shook his head and denied that anything had happened. Because he did not want to let everyone know that someone was secretly following them right now. Besides, he wanted to know who the person who was secretly stalking them was.

Umm!

After Zheng-Fu and everyone continued their journey, they did not encounter any more monster beasts. Until they reached a valley that looked murky and filled with the scent of death.

"This place is extremely eerie. Can't we go another way?" Yun-Xiang-Kong felt a chill run down his spine when he entered there. His subconscious told him that that place was very dangerous and he should hurry to go out.

"If we go the other way, we'll waste even more time." Zheng-Fu understood Yun-Xiang-Kong's feelings well. He felt that the place was dangerous as well. But it was the only route that would get him to his destination the fastest.

"Zheng-Fu, I understand that you want to reach your destination as quickly as possible. But I think we should take a different route to travel. I also feel bad about this place!" Zhe-Chun, who normally disagreed with Yun-Xiang-Kong, this time, firmly agreed to take a different route.

Men-Xiang-Du and Yi-Lin-Qi also agreed. Because they felt that this place was too dangerous for a cultivator of their level to pass through.

"I still confirm my original words to take this route. If you don't want to go, you guys can go back first. At least we've completed some monster-beast-hunting missions," Zheng-Fu still insisted on continuing this route. Because he was not afraid of the monster beast that was lower than the intermediate Genuine Deity Stage, or even the ones that were at the advanced level of this stage. He could survive if he were alone.

Erm…

The four of them felt pressured and uncomfortable. They knew that Zheng-Fu was determined and resolute in his actions. Nothing could change his mind. But even so, they were not sure if they should follow Zheng-Fu.

"You guys can go back first. I can survive alone. Don't worry." Zheng-Fu knew that the four of them were hesitating. So, he told them to go back, and he would continue to go alone.

But...

"Let's go back. If we go with him, we'll just be a hindrance to him!" Zhe-Chun was not that close to Zheng-Fu. But he knew what he should do now.

"That's right, as Younger Brother Zhe-Chun said. We should go back first. Because if we continue, it might be a burden on Younger Brother Zheng-Fu!" Men-Xiang-Du agreed. He felt that Zheng-Fu was very mysterious. And his strength was not what it appeared to be.

Then, let's take it that way!

"Zheng-Fu, take care of yourself. If there is any problem that is too serious. You hurry back out!" Yun-Xiang-Kong was very worried that Zheng-Fu would be in danger.

"You don't have to worry about me. You all go back. And on the way back, be careful. And this... keep it. It might help you guys if there are any problems." Zheng-Fu smiled at the four of them before handing Zhe-Chun a yellow piece of paper with red characters written with the monster beast's blood on it.

"This is...?"

"It's a defensive spell talisman. It can be used to block five attacks from the intermediate Heavenly Deity Originate Stage cultivators. Well! We split up here." When Zheng-Fu finished explaining what he had given to Zhe-Chun, he immediately ran into the murky valley.

Sigh!

"I think I know him well. But now he looks even more mysterious!" Zhe-Chun muttered to himself as he watched Zheng-Fu disappear from his sight.

"Let's go back. I believe he'll return safely!" Yun-Xiang-Kong walked towards Zhe-Chun.

Umm...

After separating from his group, Zheng-Fu headed into the valley at an even faster speed than before. Including using his hiding skills to disguise his body. Because he did not know what dangers were hidden within this valley. But what he was sure of was that there must have been some strong monster beasts within.

As for the person who was following them, he did not follow Zheng-Fu into the valley. Because he knew this valley very well. He and his team had already come to explore this place and knew how scary it was. Therefore, he chose to retreat and follow Zhe-Chun's group instead.

Within the murky valley...

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The deeper Zheng-Fu entered, the higher the death atmosphere became. There was also a cold wind blowing through all the time.

Groooaaan!!!

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!

And just as Zheng-Fu was moving carefully, hissing sounds like those of the snakes suddenly sounded in front of him. Before the large, long figures with black scales covering their bodies and terrifying red eyes appeared.

Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beasts!

Zheng-Fu had read some names of monster beasts in this area from Cloud Valley City. Therefore, he immediately knew what kind of monster beasts they were. These Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beasts' energy level was only at the advanced Deity Apprentice Stage. But what shocked Zheng-Fu was that there were more than a hundred of them.

"Even though they aren't strong, this many are costing me quite a bit of time. By the way, how do they know my identity? Even though I used the Hidden Skill!" Aside from the number of Savage Scaled Snake Monster Beasts that shocked Zheng-Fu, another thing was that they knew of his arrival, which was very strange. Because even the advanced Genuine Deity Stage cultivator still had difficulty sensing his identity.

Hiss! Hiss! Hiss!
