Chapter 11: Gongshu Jie

In the hot afternoon, Xiao Ai left the ridge of the field and walked towards the village not far away.

It was already September, but the heat in the air had not yet dissipated.

Walking under the hot sun, she felt a little breathless. While the weather was so hot in the village, Cold Feather Mountain was shrouded in thunder clouds and howling wind, as if a rainstorm was about to come.

The villagers in Shuisheng village were accustomed to such a scene, after all, this lasted half a year. But Xiao Ai was always worried, no matter how many times she looked at it.

She knew that the huge spiral clouds and the lightning that struck from time to time must be related to Lord Mountain God. But Xiao Ai was not sure whether these lightning strikes were good or bad for Lord Mountain God.

So Xiao Ai had also sneaked into the mountain a few times, wanting to see what was happening in the Mountain God Temple.

However, although she went to the temple several times, she failed to see the giant divine white wolf. The Mountain God Temple was also empty. There were no abnormalities.

Only when she held the Mountain God sign hanging on her chest, could she vaguely feel that Lord Mountain God was still in this Cold Feather Mountain. This feeling would bring her a peace of mind.

“Lord Mountain God.....”

Xiao Ai stood on the path into the village, staring blankly at the thunderclouds spinning over the mountain. She was spacing out and did not want to move at this moment.

At this time, there were footsteps approaching, waking up the dazed girl. She looked back and saw a black-robed person walking towards the road outside the village.

It was a middle-aged man with a serious face. He was in all black robes, but the beard on his jaw was a strange red color. And the most shocking thing was his earrings.

From the black-robed man's earlobes each hung a green and a white earring, but as he got closer, the girl could see clearly those were not earrings at all, but two slowly wriggling snakes!

These two wriggling snakes were hanging on the man's earlobe. If the tiny snakes had not been wriggling all the time, it would almost look like ordinary earrings.

Using live snakes as earrings? Was he not afraid of being bitten?

Xiao Ai was afraid and planned to turn and run. But she stopped when she heard the black-robed man take the initiative to speak.

"Little girl, I am Wuzhu from the Thousand Needles City, named Gong-Shu Jie. I've come here to chase a devil seed. I am not a bad person. May I ask if you've ever seen a strange wisp of black smoke anywhere?"

Although the black-robed man's face was serious, his words seemed to have some kind of power, making the girl subconsciously stop in her tracks.

After she heard what the man said, she was even more surprised and widened her eyes.

But the closer he got, the heavier Gong Shu Jie's mood became. Because as he kept getting closer, he also clearly felt the terrifying thunderbolt power that pervaded in the vortex clouds overhead.

Originally, he thought that it was the devil seed who had attracted the heavenly thunder, so he rushed towards this direction. But after entering Cold Feather Mountain, he understood that he was wrong.

The swirling vortex clouds in the sky were surging with fury, emitting a terrifying aura that made his heart skip a beat. Such a terrifying thunderstorm could not have been caused by that devil seed he chased, but a more terrifying demon!

Although he was still at the periphery of the mountain, he had not entered the center of the cloud yet, so the pressure he felt was limited. But just the slight aura emanating from the periphery already made him alarmed, and he could hardly imagine what kind of scene the thundercloud center would be.

And what kind of demon would attract such a terrifying thundercloud!

If it was released, it would probably be a terrifying demon that could destroy a city, even ruin a land and disrupt a country.

This Cold Feather Mountain was always remote and desolate, how could it produce such a terrifying demon? It was a huge disaster!

If he hadn't tracked the devil seed to this place today, he was afraid everyone in the outside world would be in the dark.

No! This matter must not happen! He would figure it out!

The demon in this mountain was so terrible, and if it was lucky enough to not die under the thunderstorm, it would definitely come down to the world and kill people in order to heal its wounds.

He must kill it here, no matter the cost.

Thinking of this, Gong-Shu Jie sped up a lot. Soon, he saw the center of the thunderstorm - it was over the peak of Cold Feather Mountain with the most dense ground spirit aura.

On top of the mountain, huge vortex clouds gushing and rotating, vast and majestic thunderbolt force condensed and did not disperse. From time to time there was a terrifying lightning in the clouds flickering, giving people a huge pressure.

Under the thundercloud, the forest was deadly silent, people could not hear any sound of birds and insects, and could not feel the slightest breath of life. It was like a land of the dead. When Gong-Shu Jie stepped into this land, he could not help feeling a shock.

There was no living thing in this place!

What kind of horrible demon was this? Even the insects disappeared in its habitat.

Among all creatures in the earth, the ubiquitous insects were the most powerful species, to some extent. They had no fear, and did not know living and death.

But now even the insects in the mountains were afraid of the demons in the forest...

Realizing of this, GongShu Jie now felt a great pressure.

Just how powerful is the demon in this mountain?
