After a day, Austin found that they had left the empty area which covered thousands of miles. In front of them were countless black
mountain ranges.
These mountains were as black as ink. Even the endless ancient woods could not cover up the mountains at all. The mountains
stretched towards the distance. They held an ambiance of mystery.
The black mountains gave off a strong sense of oppression.
There was sominous aura coming from the mountain.
Hesitantly, Austin and Brady entered into the mountain area and moved through the jet black mountain.
"Woooh!"
The howl of a lonely wolf echoed throughout the black mountain range. The sound was desolate and pathetic.
Caw...
Several lifeless looking crows flapped their wings as they stood on the branches of a withered old tree outside a black cliff. They
emitted horrifying cries.
What was more horrible was that the crows were staring at Austin and Brady viciously in the distance.
"I have a feeling that this place is so dangerous," Austin said.
He shuddered.
"It is said that there are all kinds of dangerous things existing everywhere in the Land of Life-and-death. Anyone or anything that
enters into this place will be in great danger.
It's best not to provoke any of them."
Austin heard the voice of the FlEmperor in his Soul Sea.
While they were talking, they suddenly heard a sound.
Bump.
A skunk appeared out of nowhere and rushed to the distance, as if running from something. It looked very old.
Hiss.
Then, a snake, as thick as a water tank, slowly climbed out and slithered towards the cliffs in the distance.
Looking at these strange creatures, Austin felt that something was odd. He just wasn't sure why.
Austin and Brady continued to trek further into the black mountain range. The eerie atmosphere becmore intense as they
ventured further. It was as if they were walking in a cemetery and the black mountains were large tombs. There was something
about in the air in a cemetery that just made people feel chilly all over.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtHoo...Hoo...
It burst into a sudden cry of bitterness and sadness. The cry spread for more than a dozen miles.
Then Austin found a withered old tree not far away on a mountain. The tree was enormous, even five or six people could not
entirely embrace it if they tried. The tree stood tall on the edge of an extremely high cliff.
A distasteful looking bird nest was placed on one of the branches of the tree, and it seemed to be made of bones. It was as high as
half a person. It looked gloomy and was surrounded by the black fog.
"What kind of bird is this?" Austin asked.
He was shocked at the sight. The chilliness he had felt earlier seemed to only grow stronger.
Beside the nest that was made out of human bones stood a strange bird with a dark body like a crow. It had a human face, and its
beak was like a black hook as sharp as a knife.
The bird was more than three feet long. It was as black as ink. The dense dark energy from it made it look lifeless, which also made
the whole withered old tree look a little cold.
"What a strange place!"
Austin told Brady.
"I can't believe that this bird really exists! | thought it only existed in legends," Brady said.
At this time, Brady was staring at that strange bird. He couldn't help but feel afraid of this winged creature.
"Oh, Brady, do you know what that strange bird is called?"
Austin was stunned.
"Yes. It is an ancient kind of bird only existing in the legends. It is called the corpse king bird. It especially likes eating the corpses
of strong cultivators. It's said that anyone who hears its how! will not live for long,"
Brady answered.
"We have to get out of here. It seems to be its sphere of influence here. We seem to be targeted by it,"
Brady said to Austin.
Then, the two changed their route and avoided the pitch black mountain in the front.
The corpse king bird on the high cliff followed Austin and Brady with its ghost-like eyes. A sliver of a sneer was evident on its
human face.
Moments later, while Austin and Brady were passing through another mountain, something happened.
Whoosh! Whoosh!
The wind gushed violently. Suddenly, a fierce power exploded in the mountain in front of them.
A human-shaped creature appeared on the hillside. The black scales all over its body was enough to make people feel uneasy.
"It's a demonic monkey!"
Austin recognized it at a glance.
He would never forget such a dark and vicious creature. Back when Austin had been in the East Mainland, he went into the tomb of
the Purple Immortal with the Earth Hermit and encountered one of these creatures.
It was said that it was a kind of evil creature that grew in an environment that was filled with dark and vicious energy. They
especially liked staying in places where there were many dead people.
"Yes, it's the legendary demonic monkey," Brady said.
His face was painted with grim.
There were so many ominous creatures like this everywhere in the Land of Life-and-death. It was indeed as dangerous and
ominous as its nsaid.
Squeak! Squeak! Suddenly, they heard a horrible sound.
Terrible screams cone after another, and they thought it would never stop.
The next moment, something worse happened. They saw more demonic monkeys appear from several mountains near them. The
monkeys were all black. Austin and Brady could feel the fierce evil aura around the monkeys as they slowly surrounded them.
The monkeys stared at Austin and Brady viciously as if they were looking at enemies.
"Damn it! We seem to have accidentally break into the den of these monkeys!" Brady exclaimed.
Even a strong cultivator like him couldn't help but yell.
"If it's necessary, we can hide in the Slave Tower,"
Brady said to Austin.
Shoop, Shoop, Shoop.
Suddenly, the demonic monkeys all over the mountains and hills rushed towards Austin and Brady, emitting a strong murderous
will within them. Their fierce and dreadful aura seemed to surround the air around them.
There were thousands of demonic monkeys!
Sof these demonic monkeys were quick on their feet and stood very tall. The aura they carried was terrifying.
"Master, | think we'd better hide in the Slave Tower for the tbeing.
There are too many demonic monkeys here, and their strength is too powerful.
Several of them are even as strong as me.
We may not be able to defeat all of them," Brady explained.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmHe shook his head and sighed.
"All right."
Austin nodded.
With such a great number of demonic monkeys, the most rational strategy was to hide and avoid fighting with them. Both of them
would end up with serious injuries if they chose to fight.
However, at this moment, Austin's heart skipped a beat.
He found something strange.
Austin sensed that the aura emitted from those demonic monkeys was familiar.
The flying demonic monkey!
The aura radiated by these demonic moneys was vicious and ferocious. Austin realized that the aura was very similar to the flying
demonic money that Austin had encountered in the Northern Mine District of the East Mainland.
And it was also similar to the aura of the evil creatures that Austin had met in the Astral World.
"Is it possible that..."
An incredible idea flickered through Austin's mind.
"Well, in this case, letuse the Diabolic Killing Needle to have a try!"
Austin murmured to himself.
Then Austin used his spiritual sense, and his demonic avatar appeared immediately.
The Diabolic Killing Needle appeared in the hand of the demonic avatar. It quickly grew in size and transformed into a huge black
iron rod.
Holding the iron rod in its hand, the demonic avatar charged quickly towards the several demonic monkeys that ran the fastest in
the front.
