Chapter 552: Chapter 552: The Reputation of Hundred Beast Ferocious Mountain
Listening to Fang Lin’s slightly mad words, Dugu Nian’s face expressed surprise, “Have you gone mad?”
Fang Lin laughed loudly, and rubbed Dugu Nian’s head, “I am not mad. If I get a chance in the Hundred Beast Mountain, I will certainly kill those who want to kill me and throw the Xuan Country into chaos.”
Dugu Nian curled her lips, “I just hope you won’t end up perishing in the Hundred Beast Mountain.”
“Don’t worry, I am not someone who dies easily,” Fang Lin said with a smile.
For this visit, in addition to questioning Fang Lin and Dream Falling Flower, Dugu Nian also wanted to persuade Fang Lin not to enter the Hundred Beast Mountain, as it was indeed too dangerous there.
Seeing Fang Lin’s stubborn insistence, Dugu Nian didn’t say much more. She understood Fang Lin well enough to know that his decisions could not be easily swayed, no matter what anyone else might say.
After Dugu Nian left, Fang Lin had a long talk with Mo Ziming, informing him of his intention to enter the Hundred Beast Mountain.
Just like Dugu Nian, Mo Ziming spent a lot of effort trying to persuade Fang Lin not to go to the Hundred Beast Mountain, but Fang Lin held firm to his decision.
“You need to understand, while the Hundred Beast Mountain has unlimited opportunities, with your strength alone, you could not only face the dangers within the mountain, but also those who mean you harm. If you go there, you may not be able to come back!” Mo Ziming pleaded, he didn’t wish to see Fang Lin meet a horrible death in the Hundred Beast Mountain.
Fang Lin shook his head, “Even so, I must go. This may be a chance for me to rise to the top.”
Mo Ziming sighed, what kind of opportunity was this? It was clearly a dreadful abyss from which one could never escape.
“If you won’t listen to me, you should at least talk to your master and listen to his opinion. If you still insist, then we won’t say any more,” With no other options, Mo Ziming brought up Han Luoyun, hoping Fang Lin would listen to his advice.
At that point, Mo Ziming pulled out a Message Transmitting Jade Slip, contacting Han Luoyun who was far away at the Purple Mist Sect in Qian Country.
Upon learning of Fang Lin’s determination to enter the Hundred Beast Mountain, Han Luoyun too tried to persuade him, hoping Fang Lin would consider carefully and not make any rash decisions.
However, Fang Lin did not change his mind. Seeing Fang Lin’s insistence, Han Luoyun cautioned him to be careful.
With a helpless look on his face, Mo Ziming hadn’t realized until now how stubborn Fang Lin could be with his decisions. Once he’d made up his mind, it was as if nothing could change it.
“Even your master has said so, I will no longer persuade you. But there are things I must tell you.” Mo Ziming said solemnly.
Fang Lin listened carefully. Mo Ziming had lived in the Xuan Country for many years and he certainly knew more about the Hundred Beast Mountain than Fang Lin did.
It turns out that the Hundred Beast Mountain was not just a single mountain, but a vast area. No one had ever truly measured the entire scope of the Hundred Beast Mountain because no one had ever traversed it all.
Consider the only Emperor of Xuan Country who had entered the Hundred Beast Mountain in the last several decades. Although he had managed to leave the Hundred Beast Mountain alive, he had merely walked around the periphery. Even such a valorous emperor did not dare to enter its deeper regions.
The deeper parts of the Hundred Beast Mountain were genuine forbidden areas. Once inside, you were essentially halfway to death.
The greatest danger within the Hundred Beast Mountain was the countless Demon Beasts.
According to those who had entered the Hundred Beast Mountain since ancient times and returned, sometimes, if you were lucky, you might not encounter a single Demon Beast.
But for some with bad luck, they might encounter countless beast floods, even in the outer regions.
If you encountered a beast flood, your fate was sealed. Even if you had wings, you wouldn’t be able to escape.
Human power has its limits. When facing the endless waves of Demon Beasts, even a Heavenly Origin expert could be engulfed by the swarm and become food for the beasts.
That’s only the outer regions. In the deeper parts of the Hundred Beast Mountain, you won’t see many beast floods, but all the beings that can survive there are formidable and terrifying Demon Beasts.
Legend has it that in the deep parts of the Hundred Beast Mountain, the weakest ones are three-transformational Demon Beasts, equivalent to the level of a Heavenly Origin powerhouse.
Besides Demon Beasts, there were also other dangers in the Hundred Beast Mountain, such as ancient arrays left behind by the ancients. If mishandled and triggered, you might be erased in an instant.
There were also some inexplicable dangers. You might just be walking along, then suddenly die. In short, danger lurked everywhere.
Of course, there was another saying, that opportunities could be found everywhere.
The Hundred Beast Mountain was so dangerous, considered a place where only one in ten would survive, but until a few hundred years ago, countless powerhouses were still vying for it.
The reason is simple, they sought an opportunity to obtain huge benefits.
According to legend, there was a person on the brink of death who found an ancient medicinal herb in the Hundred Beast Mountain. After taking it, they rejuvenated and gained several decades of life.
Legend has it that a weak Martial Artist inadvertently obtained the inheritance of an ancient powerhouse and from then on, rose above others, dominating all around him.
Legend has it, a youth accidentally found a dying Demon Beast cub, which later turned out to be a pure-blooded Demon Beast.
So many legends…
In summary, there are a lot of legends about the Hundred Beast Mountain. Mo Ziming had never entered the Hundred Beast Mountain, and what he knew came from some ancient books about the Hundred Beast Mountain in the Xuan Country, as well as widely circulated rumors in the Xuan Country.
At first, Fang Lin had also read some ancient books, but they didn’t provide clear descriptions. After a long talk with Mo Ziming, he got a rough idea about the Hundred Beast Mountain.
“When the time comes, our Pill Alliance in Xuan Country will send a group of people there. You can act together with them, which will be safer. Try to avoid the people from the Crown Prince’s mansion. If you can’t, find a safe place to hide. Just hold on for a hundred days,” Mo Ziming said.
The Hundred Beast Mountain only opens for a maximum of a hundred days. Once this period passes, the beasts inside the mountain will try to break out, causing unimaginable disasters to the outside world.
The Hundred Beast Mountain will then be sealed off again. By then, anyone wishing to leave would find it as difficult as ascension to heaven.
Not everyone was as lucky as the Emperor of Xuan Country. Anyone trapped inside the Hundred Beast Mountain was usually either eaten by Demon Beasts, or died of old age because there was no way out.
“Only a hundred days?” Fang Lin murmured to himself. He felt that this time seemed a bit short.
Mo Ziming wore a bitter smile, “You should thank your lucky stars if you can come back alive. Are you still complaining about not having enough time?”
Fang Lin smiled awkwardly, then bowed to Mo Ziming, and soon after, he left.
After ten days, a very important person arrived at the Pill Alliance. He was so important that everyone from the Pill Alliance, from top to bottom, went to greet him at the gate of Xuan City personally.
Even the Emperor of Xuan Country sent the Co-King as a representative to join Chen Yongnian of the Pill Alliance in welcoming this important person.
