Chapter 129: Flattening Stonewood_l
Translator: 549690339
Within the thick mist, these top talents from various tribes quickly averted their gazes, not wanting to engage too much with Lin Zhuang and his group for fear of causing unnecessary misunderstandings.
If it were others, it wouldn’t matter as much, but this group was simply too powerful. Even they felt incredibly wary, deeming it difficult to compete against. They spun on their heels, heading towards the deeper parts of the mountain.
There were not only opportunities within the Stonewood of Devil Mountain, there were even better fortunes waiting for them deeper in.
“What a great treasure!”
Sitting atop the bird, Tu Wa Zi put the spear into the Beast Skin Bag and couldn’t tear his gaze away from it with a look of utter satisfaction.
The Beast Skin Bag was not large, but it seemed to hold a universe inside, capable of accommodating everything, even boulders weighing tens of thousands of pounds, plus a few more items. It also ensured that the flesh and blood inside did not rot. It was simply a must-have artifact for robbers.
“Big Kitty, how about making this a gift to me?”
Tu Wa Zi turned his head towards the White Tiger, flashing his signature big white teeth.
The White Tiger looked stunned, its face suddenly scrunched up in dismay. It was thinking, that’s not how the game is played, it was supposed to be a loan, how did it end up with you?!
However, the White Tiger didn’t dare to voice its complaints for it noticed that the ferocious Old Barbarian Bull next to it was glaring at it. If it said one wrong thing, the bull might jab it with its sharp horns…
Under the horns of a bull, even a tiger has to yield.
“Big Kitty, you’re great! But I’m not simply taking your things either. If anyone dares to bully you in the future, just mention my name!”
Tu Wa Zi beamed, earnestly assuring. As to the credibility of his promise, only he knew for sure.
Enormous mountains loomed, black mist shrouded the Devil Mountain, encircling the Stonewood.
This Stonewood was indeed sizeable, like countless sharp blades inverted upon the mountain rocks, genuinely resembling a dense forest. It crisscrossed tightly, giving off the sentiment of the passage of time.
Lin Zhuang and his team rode their three Feng Luans with all their might, releasing runes and spells of all sorts, transforming into a sky full of dazzling lights, directly bombarding the earth below.
An old man with unkempt hair was among them. He pulled out a palm-sized treasure from his chest and made a concerted effort, even though the old man’s luck seemed less than stellar as out of fifty or sixty items, not a single one was a jackpot.
“Swoosh…”
Yet another large patch of Stonewood was shattered, but most did not hide any divine weapons or treasures, only piles of bare rubble. A few radiated a bit of light but the harvest was minimal, just a few pieces of damaged weapons and not to mention all were rusty, lacked luster, covered with various depths of cracks. They simply couldn’t compare to the spear they previously found.
Lin Zhuang and the others didn’t mind. A mosquito, no matter how small, still has meat. Whether useful or useless, they let Tu Wa Zi collect everything.
“Second Brother, let’s switch places!”
Lin Zhuang felt the pace was slow, so he called on his second brother.
The two chose a new area and jumped directly off the spacious bird, crashing heavily into the ground, like cannonballs taking off. The earth shook, and the blow shattered the Stonewood several kilometers around instantly.
All around, all the other factions’ talented youths were flabbergasted and taken aback.
The two brothers were just too wild. Rather than people, they were more like two Ancient Beasts rampaging around. Everywhere they passed looked like the aftermath of a sandstorm, sweeping around.
At this moment, any part of their bodies acted as a sharp edge, showcasing tremendous prowess. The mere aftershock caused the surrounding talents to flee in fear, afraid of being caught in the aftermath.
Some people decisively abandoned this place, continuing to delve deeper, heading towards the deeper parts. It was said that the depths of Devil Mountain harbored many ancient medicinal herb gardens left behind from ancient times, which they referred to as the Hundred Herb Garden.
If lucky, it is very likely to discover rare treasure medicinal plants.
The most important thing is that, it is rumored that there is even an Immortal Spring in the Hundred Herb Garden. This spring is a source of life fluid, possessing the miraculous effects of extending life span and rejuvenating vitality. It is more precious than any rare treasure and is the focal point of contention amongst the prodigies from various powers during this expedition.
Little Dot and Fire Spirit and the others had already left this place much earlier on.
Little Dot purely wanted to change places, and while Fire Spirit was curious about Liu Village, she had come here this time for greater opportunities and couldn’t afford to waste time easily.
“Hey, why did they all leave?”
Scratching his head, Tu Wa Zi looked down from the height of a bird’s back, overlooking the changes in the surroundings, and couldn’t help but feel a little puzzled.
That group of people were just competing with them for this Stonewood, but in the blink of an eye, they all moved deeper into the mountain.
“It seems because there are herbal gardens left from ancient times inside, with rare medicinal herbs boasting various magical effects, and even something as astonishing as an Immortal Spring!” The White Tiger under his bottom explained.
“What’s an Immortal Spring?” Tu Wa Zi was even more confused.
“I’m not clear on this either, but according to what the elders in the clan say, it’s a very magical spring. Every drop can save a life, even a dying Sacrificial Spirit, comparable to an old ancestor, can be brought back from the Gate of the Ghost. So, it’s very precious!”
“So, that’s way more precious than this Stonewood!” A hint of brilliance flashed in the pupils of Tu Wa Zi.
“It’s a lot more precious. However, the Immortal Spring has a mysterious territory that can imprison Treasured Techniques, and can easily shred the flesh of living beings. It usually deters people from venturing in; only creatures with incredibly strong physical bodies can enter. Historically, only pure-blooded youngsters of ancient beasts dare to venture in.”
The White Tiger continued, speaking human language, telling the truth without exaggeration.
The demonic garden was terrifying, although it possessed opportunities that defy the heavens, it also had terrifying dangers. Even it was shivering from fear, not wanting to easily venture there.
Tu Wa Zi, however, became more and more interested, wanting to explore it, and immediately went to Lin Zhuang to explain the purpose of his visit.
“There are such good things? This might be useful to Lord Willow God!” Lin Zhuang was surprised as he agreed with Tu Wa Zi’s idea, calling over Gu Chen.
These two troublemakers had the most exaggerated talents and their strength was considerable. They should have a chance to explore that demonic garden.
In addition to this, Lin’s second brother also sent out the Departure Fire Divine Bull.
As for them, they stayed behind to continue mining this Stonewood. The two parties acted separately, endeavoring to capture all the treasures in this mountain range in one go. They did not want to disappoint Lord Willow God’s high hopes for them.
“Big Kitty, hurry up, if you go late you’ll be snatched away by someone!”
Tu Wa Zi patted the White Tiger’s head, excitedly shouting. But the White Tiger couldn’t help but rolled its eyes, What does he think that place is? That one can come and go as one pleases? If it were so easily to be snatched away, would there still be their share?!
And moreover, if he is so eager to go courting death, why doesn’t he go by himself? Why does he need to pull me along?!
The White Tiger was indignant, wanting to resist, but in the end, it still held back. There was nothing it could do, that damned Old Barbarian Bull was still watching it!
Within the deep mountains, the White Tiger was galloping, leading the way in front, leaping up and down, like a streak of lightning.
Behind it, the Departure Fire Divine Bull was following closely. Due to Gu Wa Zi sitting on it, it restrained the fire anomaly around its body, making it look a lot more ordinary..
