Yao Cang blinked. "Maybe I... I'm a Demon-Burying Demon, and... I come from outside..."
Xie Ling's eyes widened. "Wait, you... why are you stuttering?"
Yao Cang said, "Don't... don't do what I did..."
Xie Ling gave a wry smile, "I... I didn't mean to!"
She was just too surprised!
"It seems Little Cang was right. Because he is Demon-Burying Demon from the outside world, evolved from Burying Qi, the strangeness of this place has no effect on him!"
Xie Feng spoke first; his words were the most fluent.
Yao Cang whispered, "It... it still has a... it works. I'm even stuttering..."
Xie Feng: "..."
He was Wordless!
Xie Ling glanced around and said seriously, "Stop joking around, let's go up the mountain!"
The three of them walked up the mountain. The terrain was rugged, and it became increasingly difficult to climb as they went higher.
What's particularly strange is that the further you go, the more turbulent the surrounding space becomes, with a very strange and unpredictable energy pulsating in the air.
The space itself is even subtly distorting!
No matter which direction you look, all you see is a vivid crimson.
When they reached the halfway point of the mountain, the scenery changed.
The once lush green trees have turned pitch black.
Even the land turned crimson.
Yao Cang accidentally touched the tree trunk with his hand, and instantly, his entire palm turned black.
His expression changed slightly, and he hurriedly mobilized the energy in his body to remove the toxins.
"This place is very strange, try not to touch anything!"
Xie Feng reminded him.
Yao Cang and Xie Ling both nodded.
Look!
Suddenly, Xie Ling's gaze fixed on the distance, her delicate brows furrowing slightly.
Xie Feng looked over and saw a circle of footprints clearly imprinted on the thick, damp red earth. These footprints formed a messy circle, as if someone had lingered here.
"These footprints are definitely human, meaning someone has been here before."
Xie Feng observed carefully and found that the footprints on the ground were very large, most likely left by a man.
"This shows that his cultivation level is very high, as he has been able to walk here all this time. If it were slightly lower, he would have been weathered into ashes outside long ago," Xie Ling said.
"And these footprints are very fresh, not like they were left a long time ago..." Xie Feng stared at the soil, deep in thought.
"Maybe we'll run into him again."
Xie Ling joked.
Xie Feng stood up and looked around. "This mountain range is too vast. We can't measure it on foot alone. Let me sense it."
As he spoke, he closed his eyes and focused his mind, his perception quietly spreading outwards. His power rippled outwards like waves, and he sensed every inch of the Heavenly Corpse Ridge.
Xie Feng reached out, and energy condensed into a piece of paper. He used his soul power as a pen to draw on the paper from a distance.
A black circuit diagram slowly appeared on the paper!
This is the route for all the mountains in Heavenly Corpse Ridge!
The map was quickly completed, and he held it in his hand, examining it carefully.
Xie Ling looked around, thought for a moment, and then, with a thought, summoned a small golden dragon.
She sent the little golden dragon to sense the power of every part of Heavenly Corpse Ridge.
The little golden dragon flew away quickly.
Yao Cang exclaimed in surprise, "What... what is this?!"
Ever since he developed a stutter, he'd had difficulty speaking, so he'd tried to keep his mouth shut the whole way, but now he was just too curious.
Xie Ling smiled and said, "On the day I was born, a golden dragon descended from the sky as my guardian deity, and it has been with me ever since."
Xie Feng asked, "What's it called?"
Xie Ling said, " Big Yellow!"
Xie Feng's lips twitched. "What a nice name, it sounds like a puppy."
Xie Ling responded with a polite smile.
Soon, the little golden dragon returned.
It flicked its tail in a certain direction, Xie Ling said seriously, "It said that the strongest energy in the entire Heavenly Corpse Ridge is at the center!"
After giving the instructions, Big Yellow disappeared.
It's clear that Xie Ling cherishes it very much; she wouldn't have let the little golden dragon out unless she needed it today.
Xie Feng pointed ahead. "Alright, that's the target!"
The three acted swiftly, traversing mountains and valleys, heading straight for the heart of the mountain range.
It was a deep red valley!
They faced a valley, with towering peaks, sharp as swords, a truly awe-inspiring sight.
"The color is so dark, I even suspect it's stained with blood..."
Xie Ling sighed.
Xie Feng said, "It's not impossible. The treasure of the Creator God will inevitably attract countless people from all eras throughout the long years, who will flock to it one after another. For example, we've come here today too."
Xie Ling nodded slightly, then her eyes narrowed. "Something's amiss!"
As they were speaking, a strange and eerie Meiying roared towards them!
Moo!!!
This is a huge red bison!
It suddenly rushed in front of everyone, causing the earth to shake violently!
His horns pointed skyward, and his eyes were cold!
It hunched over, head bowed, its two horns like long knives pointing at the three of them.
Moo!
It let out another cry, a cry that shook the heavens and the earth!
The bison paved the ground with its hooves, kicking up several meters of mud, and spewed out thick white breaths from its large nostrils as it charged wildly toward Xie Feng and the others!
This is a divine beast from Heavenly Corpse Ridge. Sensing the unusual activity outside and seeing strangers entering, it automatically activated its attack mode.
It regarded them as external enemies!
When the bison got angry, the wind and clouds changed dramatically. With a flick of its steel-like tail, a piece of space shattered, revealing a pitch-black hole.
Seeing this, Xie Feng raised his hand, which was filled with energy!
At this moment!
Xie Ling reached out and pressed his arm down.
Xie Ling flicked a stray strand of hair from her forehead and said calmly, "Let me do it."
She calmly took two steps forward, and as the charging bison rushed towards her, she held up one finger.
Click!
A bolt of silver lightning shot straight out!
Pass through the bull's body!
Moo!
The bison let out a painful howl, as if struck by a severe blow.
Blood splattered everywhere!
The next second!
Bang!
It paused in mid-air for a moment, then crashed heavily to the ground, sending up a cloud of dust.
Xie Ling, wielding the Approaching Winter Sword, swung it forcefully, severing the bison's head. Then, he swiftly bled it, skinned it, and dismembered it...
Before long, she had butchered a huge bison!
Yao Cang was so shocked that he stared in disbelief. He was already having trouble speaking, and now he was completely speechless.
Xie Feng's lips twitched, and he just wanted to mentally type: 666...
Xie Ling remained calm and composed. "I have a garden at home with all sorts of rare birds and animals, as well as many divine cows. When I'm hungry, I go to the garden and slaughter a cow to eat. I'm very familiar with killing cows; no cow can escape my grasp. Come on, you must be hungry after walking around for so long. This cow is fresh. Little brother, can I borrow a light? Kid, go find some branches to make skewers!"
She gave the order quickly.
Xie Feng contributed his Northern Nether Heaven-Subduing Fire to roast a cow, and Yao Cang shaved some branches to skewer the meat. The three of them ate the meat on the spot.
Xie Ling said, "You need to be well-fed to have the energy to work!"
