Cultivation : I'm an Ancient Giant Bear

With the little wild boar leading the way, they truly didn't have to worry about getting lost.

Wang Wu and the other two carefully walked for more than half a day, covering over fifty miles, yet they did not encounter any living creatures, let alone any human hunting squads.

"Up ahead is South Mountain, but the surface area has been destroyed, not to mention Xijiang River, the whole thing is completely cut off, the power of Heaven and Earth Destruction is too great."

Old Niu whispered, everything familiar from his memories was gone.

Wang Wu also felt sentimental, from now on Xijiang River would just be history, the water upstream would likely change course.

These three big fireballs falling down, it's more than the mere drastic change from sea to mulberry fields.

Just as he was about to speak, suddenly his heart stirred, and he quickly pulled Old Niu, simultaneously gently slapping the ground with a bear claw.

The next moment, the little wild boar twenty meters underground stopped digging, Old Niu quickly lay on the ground, and a large number of vines grew from its nostrils and mouth, sealing off the exposed areas, with only a pair of giant bovine eyes looking questioningly at Wang Wu.

Because it itself didn't notice anything unusual.

This was the massive gap between the two, Wang Wu's perception was much higher than Old Niu's.

However, he found it difficult to explain to Old Niu at the moment, so he signaled with his eyes for it to stay quiet, hoping the little wild boar wouldn't stir up any trouble at this time.

Meanwhile, he carefully sensed a strange bird about eight hundred meters away.

From its silhouette, it wasn't a true bird, not even close.

Yet in terms of flight agility and concealment, it even surpassed birds.

It was absolutely not as simple as a drone from back on Earth.

It made no sound at all, and could even absorb the noise of air being pierced during flight.

One must know that Old Niu now could be considered a quasi-seventh-grade demon; if there were two mice squeaking a thousand meters away, it could definitely hear them.

At this moment, the strange bird seemed to be aimlessly circling at a height of less than fifty meters from the ground, which provided excellent concealment in a heavily dusty, obstructed vision environment.

About a minute later, the strange bird closed in on Wang Wu and Old Niu, gradually reducing the distance to over two hundred meters.

Yet Old Niu still perceived nothing.

Wang Wu could only gesture to it to close its eyes.

Fortunately, Old Niu trusted him enough.

The strange bird continued to approach, once closing to less than a hundred meters in direct distance, before gradually flying away.

However, Wang Wu did not lift the alert until almost five minutes had passed, and three strange yet extremely exquisite small boats appeared a thousand meters away, emitting a weak whistling sound.

Each small boat was only ten meters long, shaped like a willow leaf spindle, and they could not see the inside of the boats clearly, nor did they dare to look.

These three small boats weren't fast, maintaining the same speed as the previous strange bird.

Could this be a roaming human hunting squad?

They appeared so quickly!

Wang Wu was shocked, and couldn't help but feel fortunate.

The skin of that Great Illusion King Insect was truly a treasure.

Without this, Old Niu would have been exposed this time.

Three small boats, at least ten human race cultivators, and the ones capable of elite hunting tasks should have comprehensive strength comparable to that previous senior brother.

To kill the three of them would be as simple as cutting through vegetables.

This time, Old Niu finally detected the faint sound of slicing through the air, so frightened that it didn't dare breathe heavily.

Wang Wu then waited roughly another half hour before using his paw to gently pat the ground, lifting the alert.

The little wild boar quickly surfaced, exhaling a big breath of stale air, then quietly asked, "Big brother, third brother, what happened just now? I was scared to death down there."

"It was a human hunting squad, fortunately, due to the current environment, they didn't find us, but we have to be more cautious and slightly increase our pace, the Great Snow Mountain is still over a thousand miles away, if we delay any longer, it will be troublesome once the environment improves."

Wang Wu quickly explained, and Old Niu handed over two spirit fruits, which they quickly ate to replenish their satiety.

Their group seemed to work well together.

The one leading the way had to be twenty meters underground.

Dry food could be carried along.

Plus, Wang Wu's Level 15 Danger Perception was just enough.

They continued on, crossing the Original Xijiang Ancient Road, bypassing South Mountain, and taking a break every hundred miles to eat a spirit fruit to maintain their status.

However, they didn't encounter any more human hunting squads, suggesting their numbers weren't plentiful.

After traveling roughly another three hundred miles, they finally left the territory of the original South Mountain King, entering the domain of the Black Mountain King, Old Niu's father.

The situation here was noticeably better, possibly because South Mountain and North Mountain absorbed most of the shockwave.

The originally towering main ridge of Black Mountain still retained a height of over a thousand meters, although it remained a scorched landscape.

Reaching here, Old Niu visibly seemed saddened, such changes amidst these familiar places.

But they still chose to bypass Black Mountain because it was easier for the Little Wild Boar to dig through the underground in the floating soil areas.

The so-called floating soil refers to the loose soil accumulated after bombings, which is easier to dig through. Whereas the undisturbed soil is not only harder to penetrate, but the vibrations from the Little Wild Boar's iron snout are also more likely to be detected.

Just as they were preparing to bypass Black Mountain, they finally saw a demon legion, fully regimented.

There were thousands of them, flying in the sky and running on the ground, probably around five to six thousand, sweeping over to directly occupy the peak of Black Mountain.

In the sky, there were more than a dozen giant eagles flapping their wings with full force, blowing away the suspended dust. It was quite effective, as within just a moment, the sun reemerged, dazzling white, covering an area within a hundred miles, along with a patch of sky that was still somewhat murky.

Among these giant eagles were even a few familiar faces, such as the Mountain Eagle Captain under the North Mountain King and the Black Eagle Captain under the South Mountain King.

In fact, those currently occupying the peak of Black Mountain should include some of these kings.

But before Wang Wu could even communicate with Old Niu, from the direction of North Mountain came an extremely terrifying sword whistle, like a roll of thunder, which immediately reminded him of that terrifying sword light that killed the Bear Mother, the sound wave, that Sword Qi, that power, it was of the same level.

So, is it the Human Race Celestial Realm's Great Cultivator?

"Roar!"

In the next second, there was an angry roar, and from the half-remaining peak of Black Mountain came an equally extraordinary earth-shattering tiger roar. Instantly, golden light surged thousands of meters, and then a giant golden claw phantom, several kilometers long, slapped down towards that sword light.

The sword light immediately changed, tangling with the giant golden claw phantom.

At the same time, from the direction of North Mountain, more sword lights flew up, joining the battle. And from the peak of Black Mountain, not to be outdone, dozens of various phantoms also flew up, entangling with them incessantly.

Both sides fought with incredible speed and vast range, with the sword lights crossing and returning dozens of miles in an instant, highlighting quickness and agility.

Yet the claw phantoms were equally relentless, soaring several kilometers high, with dense golden light and rising Blood Qi. Whenever a sword light was hit, it would instantly dim, and some would even completely dissipate into ordinary iron falling down.

Simultaneously, some of the weaker claw phantoms were tactfully shattered mid-air by several sword lights combining forces.

This incessant battle affected an area of two to three hundred miles in radius.

It was completely incomprehensible, leaving one in a dizzying awe, boundlessly shocked.

"Third brother, we need to go to Black Mountain, even though I don't want to admit it, but my father is there, the North Mountain King and the South Mountain King are also there, this is an excellent opportunity. The Human Race Cultivator Legion has bypassed Great Snow Mountain and reached here, indicating that the past two days of calm are over."

Old Niu spoke quickly and quietly.

"Alright!"

Wang Wu hesitated no more, indeed it was like this. When the Human Race Cultivator Legion arrived, more advanced Human Race Cultivators would be stationed, and it would be very difficult to deceive them as they did in the past two days.

Of course, if it was only Wang Wu himself, he felt there would still be no pressure.

But now, he had to consider Old Niu and the Little Wild Boar.

After a few quick taps on the ground, the Little Wild Boar immediately burrowed up. Without much need to discuss, Old Niu charged over and lifted it onto his back.

"Third brother, get on, I'll carry you!"

Wang Wu was about to refuse, but Old Niu shouted, "Stop dawdling. Or do you think you can outrun me? I even have this skin on my back, which provides some cover while running, and with my Seventh-Grade Spirit Vine, it's more suitable than your Hundred-Change Demon Leaf!"

"Let's go!"

With that, Wang Wu quickly climbed onto Old Niu's back. Old Niu then galloped off, like a gust of wind, heading straight for Black Mountain, damn it, what's the point of hiding with such a commotion.

But Old Niu's speed was truly fast. From starting to three seconds later, the speed soared to about three hundred kilometers per hour.

The dust raised was several hundred meters high.

Now, it was impossible for both enemy and ally to ignore them.

Wang Wu was dumbfounded. There were still more than a hundred miles to Black Mountain Peak, could this old guy keep up such a crazy speed all the way?

But as things stood, he could only be ready to activate Copper Head Iron Bone at any moment to shield Old Niu from the sword light.

At this moment, Wang Wu suddenly noticed with horror that from the direction they previously passed by, South Mountain, a massive column of red lightwas also shooting into the sky, followed by another similar beam from the North Mountain direction.

One to the south and one to the north, the two massive red beams quickly converged above the sky, forming a bridge spanning three hundred miles.

But at this moment, what filled Wang Wu with horror and dread was that from the red light bridge overhead, countless sword lights descended vertically, like a beaded curtain, and part of the area they dropped into was exactly where they had previously been lurking.

And it blocked the route they had originally planned to take to bypass.

This was clearly a blockade targeting Black Mountain.

This was a grand array that had been pre-set.

Meaning, if Old Niu hadn't decisively decided to quickly turn towards Black Mountain, with Wang Wu's usual cautious and timid nature, he feared he would have been trapped inside this mysterious Sword Light Bead Curtain Array.

His thinking, his mindset were outdated at this moment.

This was a life-and-death battle between the two great races!

This was one of the main battlefields.

It's like putting an elite special forces sniper right in the middle of the Battle of Verdun.

Outstanding tactics cannot conceal the strategic passivity.

Individual efforts, under the waves of great momentum, are insignificant!

So Old Niu was right.
