Hundred Thousand Mountains

After traveling more than ten kilometers forward, what appeared before them was the Holy Land for the people of the Desolate City to fight monsters and level up— the Hundred Thousand Mountains.

The moment you step into the Hundred Thousand Mountains, it feels like stepping into a Chaos world forgotten by time.

Mountains upon mountains; ridges upon ridges.

An overwhelming aura washes over you, like an ancient behemoth slumbering, exuding an aura that commands respect.

Looking into the distance, the mountains stretch endlessly, like a surging green ocean.

The clouds and mist are like a mysterious veil, freely entwining the mountains, sometimes as thick as ink, sometimes as light as wisps of smoke.

This makes the majestic mountain range even more dreamlike, yet it also instills fear in people, who wonder what dangers lurk deep within the clouds.

The mountains and forests are so dense that they block out the sun. The thick, ancient trees grow wildly, their twisted branches intertwined, and the countless leaves piled up in layers, cutting the sky into countless tiny fragments.

Occasionally, a few rays of sunlight would struggle to penetrate these layers of obstruction, casting dappled light and shadow, which only served to accentuate the eerie and sinister atmosphere of the mountain forest.

The thick layer of decaying leaves on the ground exuded a damp, rotten smell. Stepping on it felt soft and yielding, as if one might be swallowed up by the forest at any moment.

Suddenly, a deafening roar of a monstrous beast shattered the silence of the mountains and forests. The sound was sharp and mournful, echoing through the valleys for a long time.

Immediately afterwards, roars and shouts came from all directions, some low and some high-pitched, as if a terrifying chorus was being performed.

Every roar sent chills down one's spine, making one's scalp tingle and one's spine stand on end, as if pairs of eyes hidden in the darkness were watching the intruder.

A gust of cold wind blew by, and the branches rustled, like countless hands waving in the darkness.

The sound of leaves rustling and the roar of monsters intertwined, creating a chilling melody.

The ground beneath their feet seemed to tremble slightly, as if some powerful monster was approaching.

The fog grew thicker, reducing visibility to its limit. Everything around became indistinct, and every blurry outline seemed to conceal a deadly danger.

Here, every step is filled with uncertainty and fear.

The steep cliffs are partially obscured by clouds and mist; one wrong step and you could fall into the Abyss.

The sound of flowing water echoed from the deep valley, but who knew what ferocious creature lurked beneath the surface?

The Hundred Thousand Mountains, this magnificent and treacherous maze of nature, is showcasing the mystery and majesty of the great natural world in its unique way, warning all those who dare to trespass that this is not a place that humans can easily set foot in.

Hua Qiang felt the breath of nature, feeling incredibly free, a sense of liberation from constraints, and the exhilarating feeling of roaming freely between heaven and earth.

Oh ho—

He couldn't help but let out an excited shout, but before the sound could even fade, a dark shadow shot towards him.

Hua Qiang was startled and quickly dodged. In the blink of an eye, the Thunderclap Blade appeared in his hand, and he slashed it with a backhand.

With a soft splat, the dark figure couldn't dodge in time and was cleaved in two by his blade.

After seeing the corpse clearly on the ground, he couldn't help but frown.

Demon Armor Beetle!

Rank 1 Demon.

This thing is covered in a layer of black scales, has wings on its back, and flies extremely fast.

Moreover, they can spray mist that can paralyze and poison people, rendering them temporarily unable to fight. Once surrounded by them, it can be very dangerous.

Because these things are social animals!

[Flame Martial Guardian]

Hua Qiang quickly increased his defense. This was a level 1 demon, the same level as him. If he were entangled or attacked, it could be life-threatening.

Think about it, if you're frozen in place and can't move, you become prey to be slaughtered, and can only passively take the beating.

If we are attacked by these Devil Creature in a swarm, aren't we just waiting to die?

Suddenly, many dark figures emerged from the forest, gathering like raindrops, covering the sky and the earth.

Holy crap!

That's too much! Are they taking advantage of me because I'm fighting alone and I don't have anyone to rely on?

But he wasn't ready to gather his men yet. A huge phantom of Black Tortoise University enveloped Hua Qiang, with two fire dragons circling and swimming around its surface.

With a tremor of his Thunderclap Blade, a burst of thunder roared through the air.

The next moment, countless blade energies shot out, each blade energy transforming into a blue Thunder Dragon. Although small in size, they were far larger than the black shadow.

Roar roar roar...

The Thunder Dragon roared, then opened its mouth and swallowed the black shadows whole. At the same time, its tail stood up and swung wildly, striking the black shadows one by one. They exploded in the air, and plumes of blood mist filled the sky, creating an extremely bloody scene.

The constant notifications of Slaughter Points in Hua Qiang's mind made him feel very happy.

Quickly, he wiped out this wave of Demon Armor Beetle completely; not a single one came within three meters of him, let alone attacked him.

This wave earned him over 200,000 Slaughter Points.

That was awesome!

The Slaughter Points are only gained quickly by slaughtering monsters!

He immediately converted his Slaughter Points into Blood Qi and channeled it into the Blood Qi. The next moment, a powerful aura emanated from his body.

First Layer of the Heavenly Immortal Realm!

Hua Qiang clenched his fists, feeling the immense power, and could no longer suppress the smile on his face.

In this Desolate City, he no longer had to be timid and hesitant.

I'll level up two more times, then it'll be time to get revenge on that bastard surnamed Wang!

He would never forget that Wang Qianshan had tried to kill him, and that the Wang Clan members harbored ill intentions towards him.

If he hadn't escaped using the Creation Divine Cauldron, he would have been blasted to smithereens.

The saying goes, "A gentleman takes revenge even after ten years," but he couldn't even wait ten days.

He composed himself and continued walking forward, when he saw two enormous pythons, one black and one red.

Could they be a married couple?

A bizarre thought flashed through Hua Qiang's mind.

These two pythons were tens of feet tall, even exceeding the height of some trees in the forest.

The Snake Head, perched high on the ground, lowered and looked down at Hua Qiang, its eyes flashing with cold light and radiating extreme anger.

Hua Qiang was a little confused. These two snakes seemed to be hostile to him, and their hostility was quite strong!

I don't think I've ever offended anything like that, have I?

Could it be that these two snakes have gotten into a conflict and are now turning their anger towards him?

"You two-legged creature, how dare you kill so many of my This Venerable One! Kid, pay with your life!"

Subordinates?

Hua Qiang was even more puzzled.

He didn't kill a single snake along the way, so how come?

Could it be that the couple had a fight, transferred their hatred to each other, and then framed each other?

"Um... Snake-headed woman, please don't blame the paralyzed people!"

How could I have killed your men?

How come I didn't know?

Why don't you call some more of your men and let me do the killing?

Otherwise, I won't take the blame!

"You bastard, didn't you kill those Demon Armor Beetle?" the Black Snake roared.

Hua Qiang's mouth dropped open. If that's the case, then he really was the one who killed him.

"You bastard, you can't deny it now, can you? This Venerable One devour you!"
