Fulong Mountain

"It might be fine to let them go in and take a look."

Fang Yun pondered in his heart.

In Fang Yun's view, this could be considered an opportunity for these few people.

As for the danger?

That was something that naturally accompanied any opportunity.

Moreover, even if Fang Yun had not moved beyond the life of an ordinary person, it was merely an experience for him. Having attained the rank of Highgod, he and ordinary life forms were already on two completely different levels.

Just as Beirut utilized the blood essence of the Four Divine Beasts to create the Four Ultimate Warriors, in Beirut's eyes, that was a gift to the four members of Baruch.

Therefore, in Fang Yun's subconscious, sending these guys to the Yulan Continent was also a gift.

Perhaps due to it being two different worlds, Fang Yun was temporarily unable to form a projection avatar in the Yulan Continent; otherwise, there would be no need to go through the trouble of sending people in.

A Level 7 Warrior was already considered a powerhouse on Blue Star.

There were only thirty-some Saint-level powerhouses in total on Blue Star—a figure discovered only after Fang Yun's divine sense had enveloped the entire globe—and that included both human Saint-level powerhouses and Saint-level magical beasts.

The number of human Saint-level powerhouses alone was less than twenty.

As for whether he sent in Level 7 Warriors or Saint-level ones, it made little difference to Fang Yun.

"Xiaomao."

Fang Yun walked to the door and called out to the neighbor next door.

"Brother Yun, you looking for me?"

A head poked out from the wall next door.

"Prepare yourself this afternoon. I need two hundred catties of sealed cooked meat."

Fang Yun tossed two silver coins directly to Liu Xiaomao and said, "A big business deal has come in."

Hastily catching the silver coins Fang Yun threw over, Liu Xiaomao revealed a grin and made an OK gesture. "Got it, I'll have it done by tonight."

That evening, Liu Xiaomao delivered the cooked meat and laughed, "Brother Yun, two hundred catties, not a bit less."

Don't let Liu Xiaomao's thin and frail appearance fool you; his profession was that of a butcher, and he specialized in making cooked food.

He had even slaughtered magical beasts before, making him a minor celebrity in the surrounding area.

This was why those warriors weren't locals; locals generally went directly to Liu Xiaomao when they wanted to buy cooked food.

This was also the reason why there wasn't much cooked food in Fang Yun's convenience store.

"Is this for some warriors who bought it?"

Liu Xiaomao asked with a cheerful smile.

Recently, the number of warriors in the small town had clearly increased, and there were quite a few unfamiliar faces.

Everyone was here because of the previous strange phenomenon, but since there had been no changes since that event, most people had actually stopped caring about it.

"I guess they want to head into the mountains," Fang Yun said casually.

"Head into the mountains?"

Liu Xiaomao smacked his lips. "They've certainly got guts."

Although the mountains outside the small town weren't an especially dangerous area, there were quite a few magical beasts within them, and it was certainly not a place for ordinary people to set foot.

After chatting for a few moments, Liu Xiaomao took his leave.

Early the next morning, the five of them arrived at Fang Yun's convenience store.

Fang Yun packed the one hundred catties of cooked food they required into two large bags.

After checking that everything was in order, the leader paid the remaining money, then he and another man each hoisted a bag onto their backs and turned to leave.

Fang Yun watched their retreating figures, a hint of a smile at the corners of his mouth. "I hope you have a smooth journey."

Regardless of what these people wanted to do, as long as Fang Yun wanted them to go to the Yulan Continent, then they would certainly go to the Yulan Continent.

"I've long heard that there are quite a few magical beasts in Fulong Mountain, though I don't know if it's true or false."

The sharp-eared, monkey-cheeked man spoke up. "I've asked quite a few people, and everyone says something different; some even say there are Level 7 magical beasts in there."

Before the leader could speak, another man laughed. "Level 7 magical beasts? That's unlikely."

Level 7 magical beasts were high-level beasts, and their activity range could never be too close to areas where humans were active.

Fulong Town was very close to Fulong Mountain; if there really were Level 7 magical beasts, how could the people of Fulong Town possibly live here?

"If there were Level 7 magical beasts, we'd just be delivering ourselves as food if we went over."

The short-haired woman among them rolled her eyes.

Although there was a Level 7 Warrior in their group, facing a Level 7 magical beast was still something they would find difficult to withstand.

Ever since ten thousand years ago, the variety of magical beasts had inexplicably increased by quite a bit, and even many species that had never been seen before had appeared; because of this, it had been a significant disaster for humanity.

"Let's go a bit deeper this time and see if we can get anything out of it."

The man in the lead spoke in a steady voice.

For a mercenary-style squad like theirs, all their income essentially came from selling magical beasts.

Recently, many other mercenary teams had begun flooding into the forests they frequented, so they had no choice but to leave for a while.

They had subsequently chosen Fulong Mountain.

The group nodded, then proceeded toward the interior of Fulong Mountain.

For some reason, Fulong Mountain was currently blanketed in a white mist, and visibility was extremely poor; passing through the mountain would not be a simple task.

Upon seeing this, the expressions of the group turned somber.

"Meng, what should we do?"

The long-haired woman in the team asked.

Heavy fog in the mountains was not good news for their expedition.

Just then, the mist visibly thinned, and in some places, the path became visible.

"Look, the fog is dissipating."

The sharp-eared, monkey-faced man spoke up abruptly.

The others looked over, each of them surprised; it really was clearing up?

Although it hadn't vanished completely and there was still plenty of fog in the distance, it was no longer obstructing their line of sight.

"Looks like we're in luck."

The short-haired woman laughed, "It seems this fog will be gone before long."

"Let's rest for a bit, and once the fog thins further, we'll head into the mountain."

The leading man said.

The others nodded, then found a spot to sit and recover their strength.

Soon, the fog cleared entirely, and the group restored themselves to their peak state before stepping into Fulong Mountain.

However, they failed to notice that after they crossed into the mountain, wisps of fog began to reappear in the area behind them.

"Damn it, we haven't even seen a rabbit all day."

As evening approached, the group found a place to rest, and the sharp-eared, monkey-faced man couldn't help but complain.

They had been to many forests, but none were like Fulong Mountain; let alone magical beasts, there wasn't even a single ordinary animal or beast to be found.

In this era of transcendence, that was simply unimaginable.

"Alright, don't get discouraged, we've only just entered."

The leading man said, "We'll head deeper tomorrow and see."

The others nodded.

"That's all we can do for now."

The thin man said helplessly.

Just then, a faint sound emerged in the distance, instantly drawing the attention of all five.

They were all martial artists, and their vigilance was high at a time like this.

As they looked toward the source of the noise, they caught a glimpse of an animal's tail flashing by.

"There's something!"

The thin man had sharp eyes and reacted quickly, grabbing his weapon and creeping forward.

The others coordinated with one another, giving chase toward the front together.

After pursuing for a while, they suddenly rounded the edge of a valley and entered an open area.

But after rounding the valley and seeing the scene that suddenly appeared before them, all five were stunned.
