UGB Chapter 17 Entering the Mountain
Chapter 17 Entering the Mountain
Several hours later.
Qin Fang suddenly sensed a strange fluctuation coming from the outside world, and immediately opened his eyes and looked up at the sky.
The previously misty sky was suddenly illuminated by a stunning white beam of light that shot straight into the heavens.
It gradually gathered high in the sky, becoming a huge white sphere of light.
As energy was continuously injected into it, the sphere of light eventually became as dazzling as the sun, making it impossible to look directly at it.
This scene lasted for an extremely short time.
The 'sun' that was born from the white beam of light only existed for a short period of two or three breaths.
As the beam of light dissipated, the giant sphere of light itself instantly began to deform and twist...
Not long after!
With a deafening roar, the sphere of light exploded in mid-air, transforming into countless fist-sized showers of sunlight that shot straight down into the dense fog of the crater below.
The fog was quickly dispelled by the astonishment at the sight, revealing the true appearance of the crater.
"It's even taller than I expected!"
Qin Fang whispered.
I originally thought that this so-called crater was just an ordinary mountain peak.
Now it seems that this is not just a mountain... it's an entire, continuous mountain range!
From Qin Fang's perspective, at least, he couldn't see where the end of the mountain was.
At the highest point, even if one only glances at it, no one would think that this mountain is less than a thousand feet high!
Not to mention the endless mountain ranges.
"Should we be able to go into the mountains now?"
Qin Fang stared at his surroundings.
On the Zhuanzhuan secondhand platform, he could roughly determine that there were quite a few disciples of the Seven Sects hidden around.
When Qin Fang first arrived at this edge, there were only three or five people around him.
But an hour earlier, nearly ten people had been lying in wait in the vicinity, all of them disciples from the seven sects who were preparing to go into the mountains to collect herbs.
Qin Fang's position wasn't particularly good!
But this is already the best hiding place we could find, the one that is both offensive and defensive.
Qin Fang was confident that even if an unexpected situation occurred, he could definitely escape faster than others.
and……
Knowing roughly the locations of the hidden cultivators around him, Qin Fang chose a spot where he wouldn't encounter much resistance when entering the mountain, and there was absolutely no chance of being blocked by others when retreating elsewhere.
That's the benefit of changing your perspective!
This allowed him to unknowingly occupy the best position, where he could both attack and defend.
This advantage... if nothing happens, it's not noticeable, but if something does happen! Qin Fang is probably the most likely to survive!
but.
Even with a certain advantage, Qin Fang still did not intend to act rashly.
He didn't know much about this crater, and what if he needed to wait a little while after activating the Moon Sun Pearl?
With a "whoosh,"
A dark figure shot out like an arrow, disappearing into the mountain path.
This scene seemed to trigger some kind of switch, and several more people appeared at the same time, running towards the crater.
It's clear that more than one person is harboring similar intentions as Qin Fang.
"It seems there's no danger anymore..."
After Qin Fang finished speaking in a low voice, he moved instantly.
In an instant, Qin Fang appeared at the mountain pass, causing a look of surprise to flash in the eyes of another Huadaowu disciple who appeared with him.
too fast!
It's simply not the kind of extreme speed one would expect from someone in the Qi Refining stage.
Therefore, when Qin Fang appeared, the disciple of Huadaowu hesitated and dared not approach too closely.
"Hehe~"
Qin Fang suddenly turned his head and glanced at it. After a faint smile, he transformed into a blur and chose a small path in the middle.
After Qin Fang disappeared, the disciples of Huadaowu who were following behind him stood there for a moment and pondered before choosing a completely different mountain path and entering the ring mountain.
Soon after, several more disciples from the Seven Sects appeared, and they were clearly not to be trifled with. These people worked together in perfect unison, each choosing a new direction and disappearing into the mountains ahead.
And no one... chose the middle mountain path that Qin Fang had already chosen.
After a long while, Zhongwu, the spirit beast Qin Fang had once encountered, appeared before the mountain path of the ring mountain. It stared at the direction Qin Fang had left for a long time, as if making some kind of decision.
After a while, Zhongwu sighed helplessly, released a few strange yellow moths, and chose the rightmost mountain path to enter.
About half an incense stick later...
"There are still people this vigilant!"
Han Li stood before the mountain path where Zhong Wu had left, his eyes gleaming as he gazed ahead.
In fact, Han Li had planned to show himself and enter the mountain after Qin Fang entered.
However, since his cultivation level was too conspicuous, Han Li, with the mindset of "better to avoid trouble," waited for a while longer.
This pause allowed Han Li to stop at the last moment.
He discovered that even though the fog had dissipated for so long, there were still people who, like him, patiently waited for everyone else to leave before showing themselves.
This caused a slight delay.
"Qin Fang..."
"If I'm not mistaken, he glanced at my hiding place before he left."
"They must have figured out where I am!"
"Logically speaking, I should trust my fellow disciples more..."
"Furthermore, Qin Fang seems to be quite capable. Exploring the crater together would significantly increase our safety!"
"It's just a pity..."
"I have too many secrets to keep, I dare not travel with anyone."
"Not only do I need to collect mature spiritual herbs to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills at the sect... but what's most crucial for me is picking those immature spiritual seedlings!"
"My spiritual root aptitude is too poor. I'm afraid that even if I get one or two Foundation Establishment Pills during this trip to the forbidden area, plus the two I already have, it will still be completely insufficient."
Even if Qin Fangzhen intends to invite me to join him, I'm afraid I'll have to refuse!
Han Li thought to himself.
Because he possessed such a rare treasure as the Heavenly Bottle, he dared not form too many close relationships with others.
For Han Li, anything even the slightest possibility of revealing the mysterious bottle was absolutely unacceptable.
His reason for venturing into the Crimson Forbidden Land was quite different from that of most of the disciples from the Seven Sects!
Others were picking mature medicinal herbs to exchange for Foundation Establishment Pills from the sect.
These people didn't have any Foundation Establishment Pills at all.
Han Li, on the other hand, already possessed two Foundation Establishment Pills! Yet he still chose to embark on this life-or-death adventure, not just for one or two Foundation Establishment Pills bestowed by the sect.
He planned to refine the Foundation Establishment Pill himself.
Of course……
If Qin Fang knew Han Li's thoughts, he would probably secretly laugh at him.
He had no intention of inviting Han Li to accompany him.
How tough must someone be to dare go on a "dungeon" with Han Li?! Haven't you ever died before?!
He simply noticed Han Li's presence from the map, and thus casually glanced in the general direction of Han Li's location.
who knows……
Han Li has so many inner monologues.
