Chapter 345: Chapter 335 Outer Periphery of Dragon Fall Ridge (First Update)_1

The winding and twisting mountain valley was surrounded by a Desolate Ancient Forest, with the rumbling roars of dangerous beasts occasionally echoing from the rolling mountain range in the distance. Watchtowers, built from Qing Stone, were situated on the steep cliffs that encircled the valley. Solid but rough, they were extremely durable. At every hazardous point on the cliffs, huge bows stood erect, pointing outwards from the valley. Iron arrows, gleaming with a dark light, were tautly drawn back by beast tendons as thick as an infant’s arm, and the tensioning sound could be heard from time to time.

Large, dead, interlaced vines hung like a heavenly ladder from the steep cliffs, giving the dangling tribespeople a lifeline as they climbed. Fearless in the face of gusty winds while hundreds of feet high in the air, they climbed with nimble body and quick hands and feet, carrying either a War Bow on their back or a bamboo basket in hand, yet not one of them fell.

In the valley, pairs of tribal soldiers patrolled constantly. Even further afield, reaching out to the residential valley ten miles away, although the tribe had not been living in the valley for a long time, the Great Wasteland was fraught with danger. As the place was closer to the Wild Mountain Range, home to countless formidable beasts, the Gu Yuan Tribe took painstaking efforts to build a comprehensive defense mechanism against any potential threats.

In the mountain cave, Xiao Chen slowly opened his eyes. Twin radiant glimmers like electricity poured out, casting a green glow on the rock wall of the cave.

Bang!

The rock wall exploded, scattering debris in all directions. Xiao Chen let out a long roar that echoed throughout the valley, shaking the whole area. This startled the dangerous beasts, which had been lurking in the Desolate Ancient Forest around the valley. Their acute senses detected a strong, rampant aura being released, an aura of blood and Qi much stronger than they could muster. Even a trace of an inexplicable murderous intent contained within it made their souls tremble.

"The resources needed for the Blood Refining Realm are so precious, what would it be like to become a Towering Realm Martial Artist? I am really going to exhaust all my resources this time. It seems I need to use the Mountain and River Seal Space to cultivate some treasure medicines and spirit medicine-level medicinal materials as soon as possible, in case I don’t have enough materials in the future," Xiao Chen sighed.

At this point, he had successfully broken through to the tenth meridian and entered the peak of the Blood-Refining Realm. For this, he had sequestered himself for a full day and night and exhausted all his elixir reserves. Now he had nothing left to enhance his strength except for healing pills.

Moreover, his physical power had also significantly increased to nearly 90,000 catties of force when transformed into the Human Battle Body, enough to break into 100,000 catties of force. His blood Qi was so strong and powerful that it could blot out the sun. What unimaginable power this was! Apart from those with special physical constitutions or martial artists who practiced powerful techniques in the entire Giant Stone Valley, no one could compare with him. He could easily break mountains and crack rocks with a single punch, and even cut across rivers and seas.

Meanwhile, in the valley, the tribespeople were busy. Within one day, thousands of Gu Yuan Clan’s War Soldiers had rushed into the Desolate Ancient Forest for a massive hunt of the blood food beasts, while the women were busy splitting up these beasts and started the simple curing process.

After five more days, Ding Shan and Xiao Bangtu, who originally led the thousand War Masters to pave the way for the tribe, had already opened up the ancient road from the valley to the entire Dragon Fall Territory, cleaning up the dangerous beasts that might appear along the way and doing their best to avoid the hazardous swamps.

"Grand Elder, is everything ready in the tribe?"

"Everything is ready."

"As previously arranged, the elderly, the weak, women and children will ride in the carriage while our Guardian Clan Soldiers guard the exterior. Let’s set out!"

The vast wilderness was as splendid as a curtain, with the mountains undulating like coiled dragons, stretching endlessly. The desolate ancient forest let out incessant roars, as the grand migration of nearly two hundred thousand tribesmen unfolded once again. Their hefty blood qi suddenly gathered, causing tumultuous winds and clouds to arise within the valley. In the nearby grass, poisonous insects and ants immediately hidden away, not daring to approach within a hundred feet of the procession.

"Depart!"

A troop comprised of two hundred thousand tribesmen, stretching a full ten miles, resembling a dragon. Xiao Chen rode in the sky, appearing above the entire team, constantly observing the movements within the desolate ancient forest surrounding the troops.

The more the Barbaric Wilderness Valley approached its depths, the mountains clustered and the marshes densely covered, with no clear paths to progress. The wars over countless years had completely ravaged the vast lands of Giant Stone Valley. Tens of thousands of years had passed, through the vicissitudes of life, generations of humans multiplied and eventually forgot this section of the Great Wasteland, turning it into a playground for beasts. Despite the guardian war masters of the tribes clearing the way, the massive migration still occasionally encountered beasts suddenly bursting out from deep within the desolate ancient forest.

Roar!

A wild beast, five-foot-tall, covered in green scales, armed with two razor-sharp tusk-like appendages, was thrown backward. It exuded an intense ferocity but could only let out a resentful roar before collapsing.

This was the fifth two-star beast that the Gu Yuan Tribe had killed that day. The closer they got to the Dragon Fall Territory, the more common such incidents became. They had been on the move for over a month now, and this journey proved to be a hundred times more difficult than Xiao Chen had anticipated. Starting from half a month ago, every day, the migration troop encountered at least ten two-star beasts.

During the most dangerous encounter, they faced a Blue-eyed Suoni. This creature resembled a lion, and its vigorous blood qi, along with the third faint star above the elixir star in its brows, was enough to rival a warrior of the near Heavy Building Realm. Only by the combined effort of the Blood Refining Realm Warriors of the Gu Yuan Tribe, they managed to kill it. Still, despite their desperate attempt, several thousand tribesmen couldn’t dodge in time, either swallowed whole by the creature or killed by the ripple effect of the fierce battle.

Two days later, the entire Gu Yuan Tribe finally stopped. After enduring countless hardships, they finally arrived at the periphery of Dragon Fall Territory.

This was an ancient mountain range stretching countless miles. Green mountains and water complemented the land, with ancient trees coiling like dragons, extending their sturdy roots into the earth that appeared like dragons burrowing into the ground.

If one only saw the green mountains and rivers, they might consider it a blessed land. However, the intermittent roars emanating from the desolate ancient forest, and the distant explosive roars and howls, indicated that a fierce battle between beasts was underway.

Xiao Chen was currently staring fixedly at a towering mountain range in the distance, which was located in the middle of this ancient mountain range. At the peak of the mountain, there was a huge crack, extending from the ridge at the top to the foot of the mountain. Through the narrow peak, one could vaguely see the other side of the mountain range— an endless prairie. Rays of sunlight penetrated through the crack, appearing like a golden silk hanging from the ridge when viewed from afar.

But this was not what was important. Although the mountain range was magnificent and rugged, Xiao Chen had seen that this was not uncommon in the Great Wasteland. What left him astonished was that where his eyes could see, the edges of the mountain’s crack were as smooth as mirrors. Even the internal structure of the crack was like this, reflecting sunlight, making the crack appear as a golden light connecting heaven and earth.
