Chapter 233: 233 – What is really inside?
Translator: 549690339
Jiang Xiaobai rubbed his eyes as he stared at the phantom figure shrouded on the mountaintop.
What could be the reason behind someone’s presence on the Thousand Yuan Bone Mountain?
“Fatty, do you see anybody up there?” Jiang Xiaobai asked AnRan urgently.
AnRan was equally surprised: “Damn it, don’t scare me Jiang. This Bone Mountain is notorious for its mysteries. How could there possibly be people here?”
“Then have a look over there!”
AnRan quickly followed Jiang Xiaobai’s direction of point and looked across, but he saw no trace of anyone. It appeared clean and deserted.
“I don’t see anything, Boss. Are you sure you didn’t make a mistake, there are no figures here?”
“Huh? Is there really no one?”
Jiang Xiaobai puzzled, rubbed his eyes again, and settled into a daze.
The place where he saw the figure earlier was now empty and barren with nothing.
“Did I hallucinate?” Jiang Xiaobai pondered.
“I swear, the mountain is so clean that I could spot if even an ant was there with my power, ” AnRan affirmatively stated.
Unable to find an explanation, Jiang Xiaobai eventually dismissed it as an illusion and continued on their path.
Though the Bone Mountain appeared to be not so vast, it took them half an hour to just cirumvent it!
This goes to show the actual expanse of the Bone Mountain. After all, it is a mountain range with only one peak soaring into the clouds.
As a black and impenetrable gorge appeared in front of them, the surrounding light began to fade, utter darkness was on the horizon.
“Here it is, the Mad Demon Valley, charge!”
The people at the front roared and finally, hurriedly charged forward.
Amid the crowd, Jiang Xiaobai concentrated his stare at the approaching abyss. The surrounding light was already minimal and it was hard to decipher the full detail, but the only certainty was the depth of the abyss.
Otherwise, there wouldn’t be an overwhelming darkness consuming everything.
“Be careful, danger awaits as soon as we enter the Mad Demon Valley,” Xiao Yuwei warned calmly.
Jiang Xiaobai knitted his brows, “Can you tell me, what danger awaits us?”
“Heh, you will know once you enter. We are almost there anyway, why ask now?” Xiao Yuwei laughed faintly: “Hurry up, not many will be left ahead of us.”
Upon hearing this, Jiang Xiaobai had a sinking feeling and quickly glanced ahead.
Those who were at the front had already plunged into the Mad Demon Valley. The descent seemed manageable, and it wasn’t too deep yet. However, as they proceeded deeper, the valley’s depth increased, and the space ranged wider.
A terrifying aura emerged within the Mad Demon Valley after they rushed in, this powerful aura hit them face on which left Jiang Xiaobai startled.
Before he could react, a series of agonizing screams echoed from ahead.
The chilly night wind carried these horrifying screams, which sent shivers down the spine, causing the faint-hearted to freeze on the spot, afraid to move forward.
Many people turned pale with fear.
“That was only appetizer, don’t be too excited.” Xiao Yuwei laughed mockingly, “Jiang Bai, weren’t you the brave one? Why so quiet now?”
“What exactly is inside there?!” Jiang Xiaobai turned sharply towards Xiao Yuwei.
His gaze was piercing, emanating a bloody aura.
This took even Xiao Yuwei aback for a moment, but she soon scoffed, “Why do you want to know what is inside so badly? Are you planning to find out who or what you’re dying to?”
“Do you know or not? ” Jiang Xiaobai asked again, his voice taking a cold tone.
“How dare you, remember your status! You think you can afford this attitude towards the princess?”
At this moment, a Transcendence peak expert suddenly yelled at Jiang Xiaobai, “Don’t forget, It’s the princess who gave you this opportunity, or else you would have been hunted down by now!”
Jiang Xiaobai narrowed his eyes, radiating a cold glare at the man as a hint of murderous Intention surfaced in his heart.
About now, Xiao Yuwei interjected: “Alright, stop the squabble, you will know what’s inside very soon. Anyway, nobody knows how they came to be here, but they have been here since long before the Thousand Yuan Dynasty.”
Jiang Xiaobai didn’t say a word as he tried his best to mask the shock in his heart.
The moment he sensed an anomaly emerging from the Mad Demon Valley, he felt a familiar aura, while the two entities in his storage space were stirred.
Jiang Xiaobai had never before witnessed such excitement from these two.
All this was because there was a residual aura of a postnatal spiritual treasure in the Mad Demon Valley!
Although it was a minimal presence with significant density, their total quantity was still tiny. Had he not been carrying two postnatal spiritual treasures, Jiang Xiaobai wouldn’t have noticed this subtle aura.
Jiang Xiaobai concluded from the concentration of that aura that it must be deriving from something within the Valley, hence his curiosity about the danger awaiting them.
Xiao Yuwei’s answer further fortified his belief that traces of Postnatal spiritual treasures might exist there.
His two entities fed another piece of information to Jiang Xiaobai, that they could devour this weak power but its enhancing effect is far more significant than consuming a pile of treasures.
However, under the current circumstances, Jiang Xiaobai didn’t want to reveal his two entities.
Just a joke, given their aura, everyone around will definitely be alarmed once they were free.
Xiao Yuwei would probably be the first one to turn on him by then.
“Stay calm, wait for the right opportunity!” Jiang Xiaobai conveyed his intentions to his two entities.
Meanwhile, Zhuang Huanling inside the other large crowd also realized something was wrong. A faint feeling so similar to the one she received from the treasure that Hong Shixian revealed!
She also planned to find an opportunity to thoroughly investigate the situation
All these events happened in a flash. The screams of the first group to rush in gradually faded.
Presumably, most of them have met their fate by now.
At this point, the main force of the Thousand Yuan Dynasty began to enter the Mad Demon Valley.
Jiang Xiaobai felt enveloped by utter darkness, as if some black fog was obstructing their line of sight.
“Don’t pause, rush forward with all your might. If anything tries to block you, kill it!” Xiao Yuwei’s voice reached his ears. After saying this, she accelerated and charged forward.
Jiang Xiaobai too sped up. Immediately upon entering, he was certain that the bizarre aura belonged to a Postnatal spiritual treasure!
Both of his entities could hardly curb their impulse to indulge in a grand feast!
“Hold on, absolutely hold on!” Jiang Xiaobai yelled in his heart.
“Roar!”
Suddenly, savage roars echoed from all around him, along with the sound of the ground trembling. Countless cackling sounds were resonating ubiquitously. It felt as if, a tide of creatures was surging towards them!
