Chapter 1366 Hard time Staying on the Safe Path...
Continuing to move along the safe passage, it didn't take long before Chu Yang managed to encounter another group of demon beasts that had decided to lay down directly on the path itself. Blocking it and preventing him from continuing forward without first fighting them off.
Normally, this was what he had done so far when encountering demon beasts blocking his path. However, the group of demon beasts blocking his path this time around were all in the Domain Lord Realm, with one of them even having reached the Later Stages of the Domain Lord Realm.
Even if he was confident in his strength, he was clear that the group of demon beasts currently blocking his path were far too strong for him to face on his own.
So, with that in mind, he was left with only being able to try and go around them before continuing along the safe passage. Hoping that he wouldn't end up encountering another Soul Ascension Realm demon beast as he made his way around this group of demon beasts. Understanding that his current strength was far from enough to face off against a Soul Ascension Realm demon beast.
Rustle~
Like this, Chu Yang found himself rapidly moving through a few bushes as he moved around the group of demon beasts relaxing on the path. Doing his best to try and remain hidden without being discovered by any of the demon beasts in the process.
Roar?
Unfortunately, he wasn't able to fully hide himself while sneaking around the group of demon beasts, as one of the stronger ones among them ended up noticing him, as it turned its head to look almost directly at him with a somewhat confused expression on its face.
Wait! It shouldn't have discovered me yet, but just heard the sound of the bushes moving! As long as it doesn't use its divine sense, I should still be fine...!
Realizing that the demon beast hadn't actually ended up discovering him upon seeing the somewhat confused expression, Chu Yang held his breath as he prayed for it to not use its divine sense to investigate the situation.
Roar~
Luckily, one of the younger and weaker demon beasts jumped up in front of the confused demon beast. Drawing its attention away, as Chu Yang took the opportunity to continue making his way around the group of demon beasts before they had a chance to notice him. Just barely avoiding detection as he found himself back on the safe passage once again. Having successfully managed to avoid encountering the group of demon beasts.
Rooar~!
"..."
Even the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator who was more than strong enough to wander into the mountain range on his own was caught up in a difficult situation faced with the black bird demon beast in the Soul Ascension Realm.
Looks like I will either have to wait for the battle to finish or find a way to sneak around without being discovered if I want to get to the other side of the mountain range...
Narrowing both of his eyes as he thought this to himself, Chu Yang glanced in the direction of the safe passage that had essentially turned into the center of the battle between the humans and demon beasts.
If he wanted to continue going through the mountain range, it looked like it was going to be rather dangerous.
Instead of that, Chu Yang felt like it would be better to find somewhere to hide and see how the battle progressed.
If there was no sign of the battle ending any time soon, he would have to find a way around them, as the safe passage wouldn't be safe indefinitely, something he had started to realize, as it became increasingly dangerous the longer, he spent inside the mountain range.
In the end, he decided to settle down a short distance away from the battle where he could avoid being detected by the demon beasts continuously rushing over to join the battle, while at the same time keeping an eye on the battle and seeing how it progressed.
"Everyone! We have to head back into the ruins, or we will be overrun by these demon beasts! Follow me!"
Just as he was settled in and began observing the battle wanting to try and see what he could learn from observing the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator clashing with the Soul Ascension Realm demon beast, Chu Yang was shocked to suddenly hear one of the Domain Lord Realm humans yelling out before all of them began escaping.
This wasn't really a problem as it would clear up the path for him, the main problem was that the direction they were escaping in happened to the small hiding spot where he was hiding at the moment... And considering the fact that this group of people didn't seem to be the friendliest from his short experience with them inside the Mountain Demon City, Chu Yang didn't think that the Soul Ascension Realm cultivator would spare a random Domain Lord Realm cultivator who popped out of nowhere.
Whoosh-!
So, with that in mind, Chu Yang wasted no time before turning around and escaping into the small cave that was his temporary hiding spot. Not daring to continue waiting around to see if the group of human cultivators were heading towards the cave he was inside, as he continued deeper inside without a second thought.
"Over here!"
Only when hearing the sound of yelling coming from behind him as he continued moving deeper inside, did Chu Yang realize that the cave he had just entered was likely related to the ruins that this group of people had gone to the Mountain Range to search for.
However, there was nothing he could do about the potential danger of the place, as he continued moving further inside the cave without a second thought before suddenly finding himself in a massive open space located below the mountain range itself.
