Chapter 456: Chapter 456: Divine Sense Transmission

The Cloud Flame Fire kept making chirping cries as it engaged in fierce battle with a mountain cat.

Now at the level of the Founding King Court, and being a flame, it actually didn’t have a physical form. It could be said that ordinary physical attacks had no effect on it. Elemental attacks had to be used to have any impact.

Ferocious beasts were mostly strong in body, possessing greater strength and defense than martial artists, but in terms of soul power, they were generally inferior to martial artists. This was key for martial artists to be able to combat ferocious beasts.

But now, facing the Spiritual Fire, the beasts’ strongest asset, their physical body, was completely useless. And when it came to Soul Force, that was a weak point for the beasts. How could they fight against the Spiritual Fire?

What could really work was the blood energy of the ferocious beasts. Wrapped around their claws, it could effectively counter the Spiritual Fire. However, doing this consumed too much blood energy.

And with the excessive consumption of blood energy, the beasts would quickly tire, and that would spell their doom.

Consequently, the mountain cat fought with extreme frustration, spending most of the time dodging and unable to mount an effective attack on the Cloud Flame Fire.

This result was something Shi Hao had absolutely not expected.

He just wanted the Cloud Flame Fire to steal some things.

How did it win?

"Let’s go, let’s get inside," Shi Hao said with a smile.

"Not running anymore?" Su Manman was quite disappointed, as she still cherished the hope of running and playing with Shi Hao.

Why run when there were no ferocious beasts chasing?

Shi Hao entered the cave and smoothly picked three Spirit Fruits, which pleased him greatly.

On exiting the cave, he saw the mountain cat with many burned and scorched spots all over its body, looking utterly miserable.

"Little Fire, that’s enough," Shi Hao said, issuing a recall command to the Cloud Flame Fire.

The Cloud Flame Fire was somewhat reluctant, having not yet had its fill of action.

But there was no helping it; who was it to disobey its master?

It zipped back in a flash, landing on Shi Hao’s shoulder.

The mountain cat looked at Shi Hao with a wary expression, then suddenly turned and ran back into the cave.

Shi Hao chuckled and left with Su Manman, continuing to search for more Spiritual Medicine.

Before long, they heard footsteps and saw Ah Mu Amadeus running over from a distance. His bare upper body was full of wounds, some deep to the bone, looking very tragic.

However, the youth’s face was beaming with a smile because he was holding the head of a ferocious beast in his hands.

Clearly, he had completed his trial.

Seeing Shi Hao and Su Manman, Ah Mu Amadeus smiled and said, "Now I can take a wife!"

In the village rules, only those who had completed the adult ceremony had the right to marry and have children, regardless of age.

So, although he was only sixteen, having completed the adult ceremony meant he was considered an adult and indeed had the rights to marry and have children.

But did you go through all this just to get married?

Su Manman couldn’t help but tease, "Young man, isn’t your dream a bit small?"

"I’ve liked Tumu Cuo for a long time, and now that I’m of age, I can propose to her family," the young man said with a simple smile.

Alright then.

"Are you not leaving yet?" After walking a few steps, Ah Mu Amadeus turned back to ask.

"We’re going to look around a bit more," Shi Hao said with a smile.

"Oh," Ah Mu Amadeus nodded, "then I’ll go ahead."

He was a bit impatient, obviously eager to hurry back to propose to the girl he loved.

Su Manman sighed, "How can someone so young be so sensible, while others have heads as dense as elm wood?"

"Who?" Shi Hao asked, puzzled.

Su Manman simply ignored him.

They continued wandering in the valley. This place indeed had a lot of Spiritual Medicine and Spirit Fruits, but as it was frequently visited by the villagers of Tyrant Body Village, the quantity of Spiritual Medicine was naturally limited. Most of it was not yet fully grown and needed time to wait.

Shi Hao was capable of dealing with most of the ferocious beasts here, only those at the Supplementing Divine Temple level were beyond his ability to handle, so he naturally had to give up on those.

After three days, the two of them returned, laden with bounty.

At this time, other people who had crossed the sea entered the village, also got the news, and began to head towards the valley to obtain Spiritual Medicine.

Shi Hao, however, promptly set out on the road, continuing to move forward.

The length of this coastline was unknown, and Shi Hao had no intention of inquiring into it; the two of them delved deeper into the inland.

After another five days of travel, a city unexpectedly appeared before them.

Huh?

They approached and found the city towering, like a castle, with the buildings growing taller the closer they got to the center.

However, the city gates were desolate, devoid of any human presence.

Looking through the city gates, they saw an empty street layered with a thick carpet of fallen leaves.

The wind blew past, lifting the leaves into a swirling dance throughout the air.

Was this a City of the Dead?

Shi Hao couldn’t help feeling a shiver run down his spine, and then he felt a tightness around his arm; without looking, he knew it was Su Manman holding on to him.

"Scared," the Little Witch whispered.

Shi Hao nodded, protecting Su Manman behind him: "Stay behind me."

Idiot!

Su Manman rolled her eyes in exasperation, couldn’t he just hold her in his arms?

Blockhead, such a blockhead!

Sigh, how could she, a person of supreme intelligence, fall for such a blockhead?

Thinking about it again, she couldn’t help but laugh at herself. Were there not plenty of smooth-talkers trying to win her favor all the time? Did she really like them?

Shi Hao walked ahead with Su Manman following behind as the two entered the city.

On the streets, the leaves had piled up to a foot thick, and ordinary people walking here would feel as if they were treading on snow, making their progress difficult; but the pair were unaffected.

The buildings on either side had some doors wide open and others firmly shut, but through his domain, Shi Hao realized that apart from plants, there wasn’t a single living thing here.

Due to the absence of humans, the plants grew wildly out of control, with vines crawling up the walls and tree roots even lifting the ground surface.

The two proceeded straight ahead, undeterred by the terrain, and quickly arrived at the city’s center.

"Kaiyun Mansion," they saw a high-rise building still standing with its signboard intact.

"Do you know what Kaiyun Mansion is?" Shi Hao asked Su Manman.

Su Manman shook her head: "Do you really think Miss knows everything?"

So, she didn’t know.

Driven by curiosity, Shi Hao knew that everything in this mystical realm had a purpose; what then, did the appearance of this deserted city signify?

He took out the Spirit Exploration Compass, but found no luminous spots on it; it was possible that this place held no treasures, or the treasures were concealed, hence not displayed on the compass.

"Let’s go."

There was clearly no reason to linger in an empty city, and even if there were hidden treasures, the city was too large to search inch by inch; how long would that take?

"Ah!" Su Manman suddenly clutched her head and showed signs of pain before they could take a few steps further.

"What’s wrong?" Shi Hao quickly asked, full of concern.

Su Manman did not immediately answer him; after a while, the painful expression on her face disappeared, and she said: "Someone is speaking to me."

Huh, how come I didn’t hear it?

"Divine Sense transmission?" Shi Hao quickly understood.

Su Manman nodded: "Follow me."
