Chapter 1236: Chapter 673: Placing Bets
In the depths of a vast and boundless green grassland, the tall grass, towering more than a yard high, easily surpassed a person’s head.
From above the grassland came waves of wolf-like howls and eerie cries. The grass swayed violently, and green shadows darted swiftly in all directions, faintly surrounding a peerless beauty suspended mid-air.
Howl!
After a long and cruel howl, green shadows shot up from the grass below, carrying a bloody wind, and swooped down toward Zhang Fengxian.
With a flicker of her figure, she suddenly appeared a hundred meters away, evading the green shadows’ pounce.
The green shadows then revealed their true bodies. They were seventy to eighty wolf-like demons, their lengths reaching three to four meters, standing over two meters tall, emitting a vibrant green glow all over, with a single green horn on their heads, and interlocking fangs, looking extremely ferocious.
These wolf-like demons exuded dense Devil Qi from their bodies, but they were not particularly powerful, only possessing the strength of the Foundation Establishment Peak.
“Roar!” Having missed their target, the green wolf demons suddenly kicked off with their four limbs, leaping back into the grass and disappearing from view. They were indeed Masters of the Wood Escape Technique.
Zhang Fengxian’s gaze sharpened. With a flick of her fingers, the Thousand Feather Hundred Feather Sword shot out like lightning, scattering hundreds of Feathered Flying Swords like a fairy scattering flowers, covering the grassland for several miles around.
As patches of fresh blood stained the lush green grass, numerous wolf demon remains revealed their true forms, then suddenly disintegrated into countless green lights, scattering apart. However, one by one, finger-sized pale green Light Balls floated up to the sky, gradually merging into a Luck Spirit Pearl as large as an egg.
Seeing this, Zhang Fengxian reached out to grab the pearl, integrating it into her Identity Jade Pendant.
The originally pale red round Jade Pendant suddenly gleamed with added brilliance, its color changing from pale red to pure red.
In an instant, a faint red halo unexpectedly appeared behind Zhang Fengxian’s head, and simultaneously, in her spiritual sense, thirty-four light clusters slowly emerged, their starlight covering a range of thousands of miles around. The brightness of the light clusters varied greatly, predominantly in white and yellow, with only a few transforming into red.
“Ah, so that’s how it is! With the Qi Fortune coordinates revealed, this competition is becoming interesting!” Zhang Fengxian muttered to herself, a smile curving her lips.
The lingering sound still hanging in the air, she transformed into a rainbow light, speeding towards the nearest person.
…
Before his eyes was still a mountainous region, yet the color of the mountains gradually changed, turning into a range of Dark Mountains, where even the vegetation turned black.
The black trees were something Niu Ganshan had never heard of, and the aura emanating from these trees was extremely eerie, seemingly unlike anything from this realm.
Ten days ago, he had narrowly escaped death, with a bit of luck, managed to exploit the overly greedy flaw of a Mirage beast. Just as he was about to be swallowed, he unleashed a Water and Fire Annihilation Divine Light, finally killing it in one strike.
Afterward, not only did he acquire an ever-changing Mirage Pearl, but he also picked up a Luck Spirit Pearl the size of a human head.
With just this one pearl, Niu Ganshan managed to form a Luck Halo and successfully activate the Spirit Light Map.
In ten days, relying on this halo, he successfully ambushed two people. One ended up being killed with a stick, and the other, severely injured, had to hand over all their pearls before being let go.
Today, hidden within these Dark Mountains was another contestant in the competition. However, the opponent seemed to have also formed a Luck Halo, so they had long sensed his approach and continuously evaded him in the mountains.
Niu Ganshan was not skilled in the Flying Escape technique, hence the opponent always managed to escape alive.
This pursuit and escape process lasted for nearly a day, making Niu Ganshan feel restless, with a growing urge to give up.
“Huh!” Mid-flight, Niu Ganshan’s eyes gleamed with surprise as he looked toward a valley beneath a mountain peak ahead. On the surface, it appeared no different from the surrounding terrain.
“Something’s not right…” His expression changed. He promptly flew down.
With his keen sensing of Illusion Realms, he could clearly feel something was amiss in this valley.
He held the Mountain Splitting Stick, and with a thundering strike, it smashed down, creating a loud Breaking Void sound. A shadow like a mountain descended from the sky, pounding onto the valley’s Upper Sky.
With a rumble!
The Void shook violently, followed by waves rippling above the valley, revealing a two to three-yard-diameter “Big Hole” that emitted a faint, majestic glow.
Looking through, Niu Ganshan faintly heard murmuring in his mind for some reason, and then an immense urge arose, as if a tremendous opportunity was beckoning him from below.
His face lit up with joy, never expecting that such a legendary fortuitous encounter would one day fall upon him.
At this thought, Niu Ganshan smashed the stick down again, and when the Big Hole opened once more, he immediately flew through the opening, entering an unknown land.
…
At the moment Niu Ganshan entered the secret place, three hundred miles west of the valley, a sturdy young man with a crimson face suddenly had a dramatic change in expression, then became overjoyed.
“Heh heh, it’s finally appeared!… Over there!” The sturdy youth chuckled strangely, and his body instantly transformed into a black light, flying towards the east.
In just a few moments, he arrived in the sky above the valley and, sensing the subtle waves coming from below, his expression grew even more excited.
“No doubt, it’s here! Heaven truly aids me!”
As soon as he finished speaking, he dived down rapidly. Upon landing on an invisible barrier, he slipped through it instantaneously, vanishing without a trace.
…
Ah!
