“What is going on? Didn’t they say that the deep areas were the most dangerous? What is going on?” Lin Fan shouted. He felt that the situation here was slightly complicated.
No, this place might be a trap, to draw people in.
As they got deeper and deeper in, the moving tentacle became faster and faster. The snake-like tentacle locked the way out.
The birds in the forest were scared away.
Many beasts were terrified and fled in all directions.
But these tentacles didn’t attack the beasts, just neglecting all of them.
Peng peng!
In the distance, many people were scared away by these things. They all rushed into the depths without any care at all.
“What are all these? Didn’t you say that there were treasures on Black Mountain? I haven’t seen any treasures and am already terrified.”
“A mistake, we trust what others say easily.”
“Stop saying these things to me, once we get to safety, I will teach you a lesson.”
When these people saw Lin Fan and the others, they directly neglected them. At such a time, so what if they saw him? Could they grab their blades and chop them?
That terrifying thing behind them didn’t seem like much but it was really horrifying.
A strike that contained all of his internal strength struck that beast but it was totally useless. He wasn’t even able to tear a single layer of skin.
His eyes opened wide and his mouth was agape as he saw the scenes ahead.
Damn.
What is going on?
No matter what, he was an Initial Grandmaster Expert, his full strength strike wasn’t a joke. It might not have been too terrifying, but it should have at least broken through a layer of skin?
Then, he understood.
Some things were really strong and one couldn’t just do what one wanted.
For their own lives, they would just retreat and not deal with these things.
This was why they just ran without any hesitation.
Suddenly, Dan Yunsheng looked at the tunnel in the mountain and said in delight, “Young hero Lin, let’s rush into that hole. Maybe we will be able to avoid its attacks. With the current situation, it is forcing us deeper in. If we don’t hide and let it succeed, we will face more dangers.”
Damn!
Lin Fan looked at the tunnel and felt that things weren’t right, “If we hide here and that thing enters, then we are all finished.”
Dan Yunsheng said confidently, “Young hero Lin, a master helped me do a divination and said that I won’t amount to much, but I am not someone with a short life. I can live to 300 and I am only 53 now. Believe me, I won’t die easily.”
Oh my god.
Lin Fan stared. What he said really stunned him. He was already Middle Grandmaster and he really believed in such things?
The two of them looked at one another.
Dan Yunsheng nodded his head seriously like he was asking him to believe him, that his life was thick and he wasn’t lying. If he was, then he would just die together with him.
Although he didn’t say it out loud, Lin Fan could understand it.
Anyway, he had seen all that from Dan Yunsheng’s eyes.
He turned around and felt helpless. That thing was just too terrifying and even he might not be able to block it.
“Okay, I believe you. If anything happens, I will haunt you as a ghost.” Lin Fan was helpless and could only choose to believe. He was really tired. This was the first time he faced such an imposing thing.
“Okay, don’t worry Young hero Lin, if anything happens we will block for you. If we face trouble, we will die together with you.” Dan Yunsheng said righteously.
Xiu!
The four of them jumped into the hole. Lin Fan was the last to enter. When he entered, internal strength exploded out as he grabbed with his fingers and pulled a stone to cover the hole.
“Young hero Lin, are you okay?” Dan Yunsheng asked. He felt that his relationship with Lin Fan had improved. Was this how common experiences made people closer?
“I am okay.” Lin Fan replied.
The cave was really dark. Especially after the entrance was blocked, it was pitch black and one couldn’t see anything.
Dan Yunsheng took out a match and the light chased away the darkness. Everything became clear.
“Who knew that Black Mountain would be so dangerous? This feels like someone’s plan.” Elder Yunsheng said.
“Have you heard of rumors of Black Mountain?” Lin Fan asked.
Elder Yunsheng said, “There will be rumors each year. But at that time none of us believed. This year, someone said that they got some treasure and entered God Essence Realm which was why we were tempted to head over. Who knew that we wouldn’t find anything and end up facing such dangers?”
Lin Fan thought about it, “I feel like there are indeed treasures here, if not that Xiedao Sect expert wouldn’t have asked you to hand that Blood Flower over.”
Suddenly, there was a loud explosion spread from the entrance like something had passed by. It sounded like there was something that was being ground.
Peng!
The stone that was blocking the entrance exploded.
“Go.” Lin Fan didn’t say anything, just dashing in. Instantly, a few caves appeared in front of them.
Dan Yunsheng’s eyes opened wide, “How should we choose?”
He thought that hiding in the cave would be safe, but who knew that the fellow outside wasn’t dumb. Although it didn’t enter, the sound outside was low and terrifying.
It was obvious that there was not only one tentacle but many.
“Here, there is wind here, so it must be connected. We can get out.” Lin Fan felt the wind blow in one of the tunnels and led the way.
“You are amazing, my experience is less than yours.” Even while they were escaping for their lives, Elder Yunsheng couldn’t help but praise him.
Lin Fan regretted. What was going on? What was wrong with him to actually come to this place?
Was Nine Bug Gang not fun anymore or did he become arrogant?
Nine Bug Gang had more than just one division, there were other places. He came out to raise his strength. There were many safe methods but he chose to choose a dangerous one. He was really asking to die.
The tunnel’s walls were wet and damp. They weren’t built by men but formed naturally.
The tunnel was deep and their feet were in the water. The moment they entered, the temperature dropped.
“Phew, too dangerous. Black Mountain is more terrifying than we thought. It seems like only God Essence Realm can head here.” Elder Yunsheng sighed.
Lin Fan asked, “Elder Yunsheng, what is God Essence Realm?”
He didn’t understand the realms above Grandmaster or rather he was quite foreign to it.
His father hadn’t said much to him because he never expected that he could reach such a realm.
To him, he should be thankful to be able to reach Master Realm.
Elder Yunsheng said, “There is a huge difference between God Essence Realm and Grandmaster, the gap between the two is impossible to cross. Grandmaster uses internal strength and God Essence Realm has God Essence, True Essence, and True Energy. These are two totally different powers. One will be able to use Essence Energy from the Heavens and Earth.”
Lin Fan nodded his head and memorized it, “Can they fly?”
“Yes.” Elder Yunsheng replied. He was an Elder of Danxia Island, so naturally he knew about the many cultivation realms. Even if he envied them, he knew that he didn’t have a chance to step into that realm in his life.
“Elder Yunsheng, when will you all step into that realm?” Lin Fan asked.
Elder Yunsheng said with melancholy, “This realm is a little tough. Who knows whether or not I have a chance in this life? It will depend on luck. I asked some God Essence Realm Experts who said it was easy, but to me it is very hard. My talent and comprehension aren’t good but they aren’t bad either. However, I am only able to reach middle Grandmaster. To reach the peak would require many years and even longer.
“Young hero Lin, you are young and have had such a good encounter. As long as nothing happens, then you would easily enter God Essence Realm.”
This was what he comprehended after asking those God Essence Realm Experts.
They said that it was tough because they were already God Essence Realm. Moreover, they obtained many fortuitous encounters in life, so naturally it wasn’t tough.
Lin Fan thought about it and he had some thoughts in his heart.
One could fly when one was God Essence Realm, that should feel great.
Till now, he hadn’t met a God Essence Realm Expert.
No, he did. The Su Family Ancestor was definitely God Essence Realm or above. Nine Bug Gang Gang Leader was too.
A certain sense of pressure appeared.
Aiya.
He just raised his physique to Initial Grandmaster. His internal strength still hadn’t reached Grandmaster and was far from the peak, so he had to work hard.
Father, did you see? I am an expert now. I am working hard, once I get stronger I will head back to find you.
“Elder Yunsheng, cultivation is a long and tough path and no one is able to predict the future, so one has to be humble and take things step by step.” Toward Elder Yunsheng’s praise, Lin Fan replied in a low profile manner.
He couldn’t say that they were spending so much effort on cultivation while he just needed to open his mouth or attack some people and he would be able to do that.
If he really said that, how big of a blow would it be to them?
He couldn’t do such a cruel thing.
Elder Yunsheng felt that this Young hero Lin was different. Everything he said was so deep totally different from those strong disciples he had seen before.
Although those people were humble, their gazes were sharp, not caring about anyone else.
Kong!
Just as they walked and talked together, a very sharp screech sounded out. The voice was very low and heavy like the sound of a beast.
Everyone looked at each other.
They had a feeling like things were going to go wrong.
They were thinking about what this place was, what weird beast was hidden within Black Mountain?
Their heads were about to explode from all this.
“Be careful, the exit is ahead. There is definitely something dangerous outside.” Lin Fan said softly. He didn’t dare to say too loudly, who knew what would welcome them on the outside?
