Chapter 171 The Mysterious Beas (1/2)

Fog pervaded the mountains as an icy shadow swept past.

Zhou Yuan was seated on Little Frost’s back, his Spirit senses spreading outwards. Although the fog could distort one’s sense of direction, Zhou Yuan was just barely able to guide them through his powerful Spirit.

“To the left.” Uttered Zhou Yuan.

Little Frost immediately shook its wings, turning directions.

“We’ve already reached the depths of the mountain range.” Zhou Yuan glanced to his rear, his gaze frosty as he continued, “They’re still closely following us. How patient.”

He could detect several presences some distance behind, tailing them like shadows. It was clear that Wu Huang and gang did not intend to give up so easily.

Zhen Xu said in a low voice, “What do we do now? Any deeper and we will begin to encounter grade 4 Genesis Beasts.”

Zhou Yuan’s eyes narrowed slightly as he stared into the depths of the fog, faintly seeing a shimmer of gold, while he also began to sense several powerful Genesis Qi ripples. They clearly nearing the golden pool.

The Genesis ripples he had sensed likely belonged to the beasts protecting the pool

Zhou Yuan decisively declared, “Go in!”

Luluo gritted her teeth and patted Little Frost. With a loud cry, its speed rose sharply. A short few minutes later, Zhou Yuan and group discovered that they had exited the fog.

Behind the fog lay an ancient mountain forest where numerous towering trees proudly stood.

Roar!

Brief moments after Zhou Yuan and gang charged out from the fog, a loud roar was suddenly heard. An enormous shadow descended from the sky with violent and dreadful power.

Little Frost agilely shot forward, avoiding the shadow.

Boom!

The shadow slammed into the spot where Zhou Yuan and the rest had been just moments before, causing the ground to crumble. As dust began to fill the air, the Zhou Yuan trio saw a giant ape covered in scales. It ferociously stood there, its scarlet-red beast eyes staring at them.

Powerful Genesis Qi undulations rippled around the scaled ape like a storm.

A grade 4 Genesis Beast!

The ferocious aura caused the trio’s pupils to shrink. Against a Genesis Beast of this level, they would have to use their full strength in order to put up a fight.

Swish!

A few seconds after the giant scaled ape appeared, the fog rippled once again, and six figures swiftly flew out, landing nearby Zhou Yuan’s group.

The six figures were naturally the closely following Wu Huang, Ye Ming and the rest.

Roar!

The scaled ape was greatly enraged by the sight of more humans invading. With a loud roar from its blood-red mouth, its titanic body leaped into the air as a giant fist ruthlessly smashed towards Wu Huang’s group like a cannonball, heralded by an astonishing wind pressure.

Even before the punch hit, the shape of a fist had already been imprinted into the ground.

Wu Huang was indifferent as he watched the scaled ape rapidly grow in his eyes. Five fingers tightened into a fist as his foot slammed into the ground, cracking it. His figure appeared in front of the ape in a split second, fist like a blazing rising sun, glaring with brilliant might that allowed no resistance.

Boom!

Man and beast fiercely clashed in the air as a ripple that could be seen with the naked eye unfurled, followed by a series of rapid booms as the air was blasted away.

At the epicenter, the giant scaled ape released a cry of anguish as its enormous body was sent flying backwards. It crashed into the ground, causing the surrounding area to tremor.

The ape’s body tore across the ground, creating a long scar as towering trees continued to fall one after another.

In contrast, Wu Huang had only been forced a dozen steps back before he slowly drifted down, his expression as indifferent as before.

Besides Ye Ming, the other four from the Dongxuan Continent glanced at Wu Huang in amazement.

Luluo could not help but remark, “This guy is really monstrous!”

Though she had previously finished off a grade 4 Genesis Beast, it had only been possible after pulling out all the stops. In comparison, Wu Huang had grandly suppressed a grade 4 Genesis Beast in a direct clash of power.

A trace of graveness also appeared on Zhen Xu’s pale expressionless face.

No emotion was present in Wu Huang’s gaze as he looked towards Zhou Yuan. “Did you believe that hiding here will make me afraid?”

Zhou Yuan seemed to smile, a smile that had a hint of ridicule.

Roar!

It was at this moment that the giant scaled ape climbed to its feet and released a deafening roar of anger.

The roar echoed into the distance, resounding across the mountain forest.

Rumble!
