Austin and the rest of the group had finally succeeded in entering the second circle of the Mysterious Nether World.
In the second circle, they had encountered many demonic and diabolic beasts. They had soon discovered that the beasts populating the second circle were mainly at the sixth and seventh level.
This was different to their previous encounters while in the first circle of the Mysterious Nether World. The creatures there were far less powerful as they were mainly of the fourth and fifth levels.
However, cautiously they had tried their best during their travels to avoid confronting these new and far superior demonic and diabolic beasts, which were at sixth or seventh level in their strength. Fortune smiled on them and they were able to make smooth headway in their journey whilst avoiding any unfortunate encounters.
By the evening of the next day, they had finally crossed the dense forest, where huge trees crowded together to form a thick canopy, and they arrived at an imposing mountain which dominated the skyline where it rose formidably from the forest.
The mountain didn't seem to have any peaks. It was overgrown by lush greenery and monstrous trees for as far as the eye could see. It appeared more like a massive beast reclining in the dense jungle than a mountain. When looking up they could just barely distinguish a huge, ancient building atop it which was obscured by the tree line near the summit.
"There at the top is the Emperor Library!"
Austin exclaimed to the others, while gazing at their destination with undisguised excitement.
"Tin, we should hurry up and immediately begin ascending the mountain," Dewey said impatiently. He was always a rash person.
"No, not now. I've noticed that there are some people resting at the foot of the mountain. Obviously they arrived here before us and they also know about the existence of the Emperor Library. We should not rush blindly into the unknown.
Besides, it's very late now. I assume that those people also plan to stay here and rest for the
force emitting from him, I would guess him to be at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm.
But his fighting ability is better than what he should be capable of. He possesses much stronger fighting abilities than what is common to cultivators at his level."
"Huh! He's merely a cultivator at medium stage of Mysterious Realm. It's so absurd that you would make such a fuss about him.
Don't forget that your cultivation base is at the premium stage of Mysterious Realm. You could swiftly and easily kill this weakling. He's after all only at the medium stage of Mysterious Realm. Don't make such a joke, and then expect us to act on it," the man in the golden robe sneered.
Tolkien's face became expressionless after he heard this, and he was a little embarrassed.
He had always been subservient and even servile in front of his two brothers, never daring to act against them.
"Tolkien, forget about Austin.
Our priority now is to enter the Emperor Library and retrieve those high grade martial arts skills hidden there.
All other things can wait.
Austin is only a clown. He doesn't deserve any special attention. If we should meet him along the way, then we can quickly kill him," Tolkien's brother in yellow said slowly, filled with self-assurance.
"Okay," Tolkien nodded and dared not contradict them by speaking more about Austin again.
