Man Xiongmu rode the wind, flying south from behind Skull Mountain. This was territory Wu Tian had never set foot in before.
From midair, he could see that the trees here were clearly taller and denser, their branches and leaves luxuriant, with countless spirits lurking in the jungle.
Wu Tian clearly saw a Tree Monster pull its roots out of the ground and walk through the jungle. Its branches were like tentacles, snaring birds and rabbits before draining their blood and hanging the dried corpses from its branches and leaves.
There were also Flower Demons. Their bewitchingly beautiful buds opened, revealing the upper half of a bare-chested woman, stunningly beautiful and alluring.
Besides these, packs of Wolf Demons, winged cloud leopards, seven-colored birds, Fire Crows, and many other creatures he had never heard of or seen before appeared and disappeared throughout the jungle.
Seeing how shocked he was, Man Xiongmu laughed and explained, "Skull Mountain lies on the outskirts of Southern Border's Hundred Thousand Mountains. The lands beyond Skull Mountain border the Central Plains, which is why humans can survive there."
"The farther north you go, the larger those villages become, and the more people each village has."
"But south of Skull Mountain lies the territory of the Demon Race. Monsters run rampant, demons are everywhere, powerful demons wreak havoc, and an occasional Demon King may even soar across the sky."
"Even I wouldn't dare venture too deep..."
As they spoke, a black wind swept past, and they landed in a mountain valley.
The valley was surrounded by mountains on three sides. Waterfalls plunged down sheer cliffs, forming a pool at the bottom. The water was jade-green, yet no living creatures appeared nearby, making the place seem somewhat deserted.
Man Xiongmu landed on the ground and gazed at the pool.
