Today was the day of the departure to the Desolate Millet Mountain Range.
Li Ran packed up a bit. Actually, he did not bring anything. The only thing useful in going to the Desolate Millet Mountain Range was his strength!
He thought about it over and over again. It would be best if he could bring weapons or other mysterious magic tools with him, but he did not have any of them.
“Ah, the Desolate Millet Mountain Range sounds very dangerous.”
Li Ran sighed and put all the things he could think of into his storage ring. After washing up, he went to the training field.
….
The training field.
Li Ran was not the latest to arrive but when he arrived, there were seven or eight people standing there sparsely.
He was unfamiliar with some of the seven or eight people. He only remembered one or two elders. They were the Body Cultivation elders who were in charge of leading the team into the Magical Beast Mountain Range in the Pure Wind Clan all year round.
For some reason, Li Ran felt inexplicably familiar with the Body Cultivation elders and disciples. Perhaps it was because he was also a Body Cultivator, but there was a faint line connecting them.
After a while, Chief Li Xun appeared on the training field.
He looked around. This time, the team that entered the Desolate Millet Mountain Range only had ten people including the two elders and disciples.
“There are ten of us in total this time. I’m sure you’ve learned about the Desolate Millet Mountain Range that we’re going to.
“We haven’t discovered terrifying monsters hiding in the Desolate Millet Mountain Range, but we mustn’t let our guard down. On the way to the mountain range, we must follow the team closely. We mustn’t kill the monsters alone unless it’s a special circumstance!”
Since the Desolate Millet Mountain Range was located on the Tiger Roar Island, the elders and disciples of the Pure Wind Clan had only entered the Magical Beast Mountain Range near Sifang town all year round. They were not familiar with the terrain around the Tiger Roar Island, so there was a certain risk involved.
“This time, the two elders of our clan and I will lead the team. If anything happens on the way, you can come and inform us.”
Li Xun gave some more instructions on what to pay attention to when entering the Desolate Millet Mountain Range. Then, the group of people departed from Sifang town in a grand manner, heading toward the mountain range on the Tiger Roar Island.
The Pure Wind Clan was only a small clan of Martial Dao. They did not have any magical beasts to ride on, so the group could only walk. When they encountered flat land, they could speed up.
If they traveled day and night, they would probably need two days and one night to get close to the border of the Tiger Roar Island.
Sifang Town was in the southern region of the Yanjiu Prefecture. Since it was surrounded by the Magical Beast Mountain Range in all directions, it was named the Sifang Town.
From the Sifang Town to the Tiger Roar Island, it was not far in a straight line, but they had to pass through the Magical Beast Mountain Range in the middle. The mountain range near the town was the most dangerous.
Li Ran and his group had arrived at the Magical Beast Mountain Range not long after they left Sifang Town. Before entering, the chief gave them some advice with a solemn expression.
From his words, one could tell that this Magical Beast Mountain Range was not simple.
There were terrifying magical beasts hidden here. There were other large organizations that had entered Sifang Town in the past. It was said that they were a very powerful team. There were five Great Soul Masters, two Soul Grandmasters, and a Soul King!
In the end, all of them were buried in this Magical Beast Mountain Range!
Ever since then, the Soul Cultivators of Sifang Town had deliberately avoided this Magical Beast Mountain Range. No one dared to risk their lives here for the sake of the magical beasts.
Among Li Ran’s group, apart from the chief, Li Xun, who was a Soul Grandmaster, and the two elders, who were Great Soul Masters, and other than Li Ran and two disciples who were Soul Warriors, the other disciples were all Soul Cultivators.
If they were to encounter a fearsome magical beast here, they would die without a doubt!
“Let’s go. Everyone, be careful. Don’t enter the depths of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Follow the path outside and you’ll be able to directly pass through the mountain range!”
Li Xun instructed in a deep voice.
Generally speaking, magical beasts with frightening strengths resided in the deepest depths of the mountain range.
Moreover, there were very few magical beasts in the periphery of the Magical Beast Mountain Range. Even if they did appear, they were only low-level beasts that were easier to deal with. There was no need to be afraid of them.
The group of people carefully rushed forward. They could not make too much noise to prevent attracting powerful magical beasts. On one hand, they had to avoid the sneak attacks from the magical beasts in the dark, so they had to spend a lot of time in the mountain range.
Six hours had passed.
Li Ran and his group had passed through the Magical Beast Mountain Range without any danger. They were only one-third of the way out of the mountain range.
At this time, the chief, Li Xun, who was walking in front of them, stopped.
“Don’t move, there’s a magical beast ahead!”
Li Ran’s ears trembled slightly. He looked ahead and did not see any living creatures or magical beasts. Perhaps because he was not strong enough, he could not sense the aura ahead.
The group of people stopped where they were. Just as they were thinking of countermeasures, Li Xun’s expression changed, and he suddenly shouted.
“Quickly spread out to both sides!”
As soon as he said that, the aura of the monster in front of them approached, and it suddenly appeared in front of Li Ran and the others, less than five meters away!
“A 50,000-year-old monster?!”
Someone exclaimed.
‘Didn’t they say that high-level monsters rarely appeared in the periphery of the Magical Beast Mountain Range? Why would a 50,000-year-old monster suddenly appear here?’
Li Ran and the others did not expect that they would encounter a monster that was over 10,000 years old in the periphery of the mountain range. Most of the monsters were only thousands of years old.
It was a 50,000-year-old magical monster. It was a Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly with a pair of wings. It suddenly moved and every time it flapped its wings, countless catkins would fall.
“Be careful of those catkins, they’re poisonous!”
The chief and the two elders commanded the other disciples. Everyone immediately dodged and distanced themselves from the Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly.
Tens of thousands of catkins fell from the sky. They were pure white and inconspicuous.
One of the disciples could not dodge in time. His skin was stained with catkins and immediately turned red.
He let out a mournful cry. His red skin began to rot, wilting like a flower at a speed visible to the naked eye. In the end, only white bones were left.
The poison was incredibly strong!
That scene was extremely terrifying. Even the chief and the elders who had experienced many life-or-death battles could not help but gasp when they saw the scene in front of them.
“The catkins on the wings are poisonous!”
This was the most destructive monster Li Ran had ever seen!
He stared at the Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly’s wings. On the surface, they were no different from a bird’s wings but when the wings flapped, countless catkins would fall from them.
Endless catkins!
It was hard for Li Ran to imagine how horrifying a monster with such a powerful Soul Skill would be when it grew to more than 100,000 years old.
The Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly’s Soul Skill was too shocking. No one could deal with it at all.
Every time they approached it, there would be a sky full of catkins attacking them!
“Chief, what should we do? This creature’s intelligence is very high. It won’t give us a chance to attack at all!”
An elder watched the Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly’s movements and carefully avoided the incoming catkins. He was held back by the sky full of catkins.
“Don’t get close to it. The catkins are very poisonous. If you have a Weapon Soul Skill, use it first!
“Attack it from a long distance. We’ll think of a way to kill this monster after it expends some of its energy!”
Chief Li Xun was also unable to get free. The catkins were everywhere. One moment of carelessness, and they appeared once again.
After hearing the order, one of the elders led a few disciples and split up into several directions to attack the vital parts of the Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly.
Some of their Soul Rings were bows and arrows, spears, and small sharp swords. If they shot out at the same time, it would cause quite a bit of damage to the Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly.
“Break!”
They set up an ambush at the same time. The leader of the elders shouted coldly and shot out all kinds of weapons from all directions, aiming at the Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly’s head, wings, and chest.
The Seven-Colored Rain Butterfly let out a long cry toward the sky. Its eyes were cold as it stared at the weapons coming toward it. The wings on its back shook violently, and the sky was filled with fluttering catkins. Then, the seven-colored wings released a dazzling seven-colored light!
At this time, the sky seemed to be frozen.
All the weapons that were shot out trembled and stopped in mid-air!
No one expected this kind of change to happen. They looked at the strange phenomenon in mid-air in surprise.
