The Battle Through Heaven
The Heaven Mountain Stage
Xiao Yan's eyes stared intently at the humble-looking gray-faced old man. A moment later he finally smiled, cupped his hands together, and politely asked, ” This old man should have been an elder of the Gold Swallowing Rat Tribe, right? ’
The Heaven Eye Mountain Range had the effect of suppressing people who were too strong to enter, yet the strength of this old man in front of him had exceeded this limit. It seems that he is not someone from the outside world. In that case, he should be a local expert. Moreover, the entire Heaven Eye Mountain was the territory of the Gold Swallowing Rat Tribe. It was likely that this person was someone from the Gold Swallowing Mouse Tribe.
The gray-robed old man was shocked after hearing this. He jumped down from the tree. He looked to Xiao Yan once before smiling and saying, ’Sight of little friend is indeed very good.’
Xiao Yan smiled. After recalling what Nalan Yanran had said to him earlier, Xiao Yan would naturally not say anything to offend the members of this Golden Mouse Swallowing Tribe. Moreover, this person was quite strong and likely had a high position in the clan. It seemed like that person would suffer from offending him.
’’ This younger self is Xiao Yan. I've been reckless to turn this place into this. I hope the old man won't blame me. ’Xiao Yan smiled. A jade bottle quickly appeared in his hand. After that, he handed it over. ’’ This is some ‘Pills Qi Mending.’ Although I know that/that these things may be nothing in the eyes of Sir, they have a very good effect when used to recover one's Dou Qi. ’
The Qi Mending Pill was an expendable tier 5 type medicinal pill. It had the effect of allowing a Dou Huang or Dou Zong to recover their Dou Qi at a faster rate, and was considered an expandable high-tier medicinal pill.
The gray-clothed old man was shocked when he saw this action of Xiao Yan. However, his narrowed eyes instantly shone when he heard the name ‘Qi Mending Pill.’ Pill Medicine was even rarer from the Magical Beast's perspective since only humans possessed alchemists. Although some Magical Beasts were able to refine medicinal pills by relying on their talent, they were too few in number. This Qi Mending Pill might not have a very high level, but its effects quickly restored a person, Dou Qi caused the gray-robed old man to be attracted.
’Hee Hee, little boy, I felt you were so much fun when I first saw you.’ ‘The gray-robed old man licked his lips and laughed. After which, he did not take action as he unceremoniously received the jade bottle from Xiao Yan. Afterwards, he looked around her, waved his hand and said, ” It's okay. I'll ask someone to clean this place up. Kids don't have to worry. I'll also help you remove some of these troublesome things. ’
Xiao Yan smirked and nodded. He cupped his hands to the gray-robed old man and respectfully said, ” In that case, thank you old man. ”
” My old one is Jin Gu. Don't call me anything old man .. ’’The gray-clothed old man laughed. His gaze wandered around Xiao Yan's body once before he suddenly said, ‘’Little boy, you are an alchemist, right? Such a scent was not something ordinary people possessed. ’
Xiao Yan hesitated for a moment. The other party clearly had a special talent when it came to olfaction. Therefore, he did not hide anything and gently nodded.
’Hee Hee, alchemist. This thing was really too rare .. ” A strange light flashed in Jin Gu's eyes when he saw Xiao Yan nod. He immediately smiled and said, ’You should go in first. The little Psychic White Fox girl had no problem passing through the labyrinth. However, there are still a number of barriers if you wish to successfully reach the Heaven Mountain Blood Pool. Relax, the old me is not someone who will not work after receiving something. I'll tell the others to be careful of you. ’
Xiao Yan's heart rejoiced after hearing this. He really was not inferior to giving this medicinal pill. This old man did indeed have quite a high position in the Golden Rat Swallowing Tribe. Since Xiao Yan had obtained what he needed, he did not stay any longer. After cupping his hands to Jin Gu, he turned around, and entered the tree door.
Jin Gu involuntarily stroked his beard as he watched Xiao Yan disappear behind the tree door. His expression was one of deep thought while he softly muttered, ’’ This little boy is also an alchemist, but I wonder if he has reached our requirements. If possible, we will be able to save quite a lot of problems .. ’’
Xiao Yan had just stepped into the tree door when the area in front of him suddenly brightened. His mind immediately felt a bit dizzy. By the time he recovered, he was stunned to realize that/it was the space around him had been impregnated by a thick layer of fog that could not be scattered.
The density of the fog in this place was at least ten times denser than the fog in the mountains. Moreover, the thing that caused Xiao Yan to feel disturbed was that/it was the fog in this place was impenetrable by Spiritual Strength. When it was scattered, it seemed to be filled with a huge obstruction, making it difficult to achieve a probing effect.
’’Is this the so-called labyrinth. This was indeed troublesome .. ’’ Xiao Yan sincerely swept his gaze to his surroundings as he softly said.
Xiao Yan suddenly felt his hand turn cold when he spoke to himself. Immediately, the soft voice of Nalan Yanran was transmitted from beside him, ’No need to panic. It's me.”
Xiao Yan's tensed arms slowly relaxed. His gaze followed the direction where the voice came from and glanced. However, he was surprised to find that/it was nothing there, yet the touch that was transmitted from his hand clearly told him that/it was Nalan Yanran beside him.
’’ No need to see. This labyrinth can block a person's view. Even though we were close together, we still could not see the other party's body. I'll pull you with me. With the Psychic White Fox leading the way, it shouldn't be too difficult to get out of this place. ” Nalan Yanran's voice slowly passed on, aware of the doubt in Xiao Yan's heart.
Xiao Yan nodded slightly after hearing this. His heart rejoiced a little. It was fortunate that he met Nalan Yanran along the way. Otherwise, even he would be trapped in this labyrinth …
A thick fog permeated the labyrinth while a soft touch from his hand appeared as if someone touched a high-quality jade. A gentle and pleasant feeling caused one to feel unwilling to part with it. This caused Xiao Yan's heart to involuntarily sway. However, this kind of feeling was quickly suppressed by Xiao Yan the moment it appeared. He immediately lowered his head in embarrassment, and let Nalan Yanran pull him as they slowly advanced.
This calm progress continued for nearly half an hour before Xiao Yan sensed that/it the fog around him seemed to gradually become much thinner.
Nalan Yanran's voice had just sounded when the wind blew. The thick fog around him fluctuated greatly. They quickly retreated and the scene around him slowly appeared.
An extremely majestic looking mountain peak appeared in front of Xiao Yan and Nalan Yanran. At this moment, the two of them were at the bottom of the midpoint. Giant rats covered by golden hair repeatedly roamed on both sides of the rather steep mountain road.
’’ This must be a Gold Swallowing Rat. Don't hurt them. Otherwise, it would definitely make the Gold Swallowing Mouse Tribe grim ... ” Beautiful eyes Nalan Yanran looked at the golden-coloured big mouse as she uttered a reminder.
’’ Yes. ’’ Xiao Yan tilted his head.
”Come go. The halfway point was where the Heaven Mountain Stage was located. After that there will be some checkpoints that/that the Gold Swallowing Mouse Tribe has placed. Only by successfully passing them would one be able to reach the Heavenly Blood Pool at the peak. ’’ Nalan Yanran hugged the white fox while his finger pointed to the middle of the mountain as he smiled sweetly.
” Heaven Mountain Stage? ” Xiao Yan's eyes narrowed when he heard this. This place was the Heaven Mountain Stage that Tang Ying mentioned. In addition, he said that/that they might have the opportunity to work together there. Looks like he's talking about working together to graduate from the checkpoint.
’’ There may be quite a number of people present there. The checkpoints the Gold Swallowing Mouse Tribe encountered were quite difficult. Although those who arrived here were not weak, it was quite difficult if one wanted to break through them. ’’ Nalan Yanran laughs.
Xiao Yan also smiled. There was a fiery heat in his eyes as he smiled, ” Then let's go. We must not let others occupy eight places in front of us .. ’
Xiao Yan's toes pressed down on the steep stone stairs after his words sounded. Immediately, his body turned into a black shadow that quickly rushed into the middle of the mountain. Nalan Yanran immediately followed behind him.
……
The middle of the Heaven Eye Mountain was an extremely vast platform. This platform is built of neatly arranged stone. There was a stone staircase that reached the top of Heaven Eye Mountain on one side of the platform. However, the front of the stone staircase was currently guarded by several Gold Swallowing Rat-bodied humans.
There were nearly twenty human figures gathered on the platform away from the stone stairs. They are divided into different sized groups. Some of them were alone, some of them were all three while some of them were in larger groups …
These people were scattered on the platform and whispered to each other. While doing so, their gazes repeatedly swept towards the steep path that led to the platform. Based on time, the labyrinth must be closed. After the time was up and the labyrinth was closed, it was time for them to try to break through the checkpoint …
The colorful figure, which was extremely eye-catching in the human crowd with its noble phoenix aura, easily became one of the main characters present. This woman was naturally Miss Feng from the Wind Lightning Pavilion.
While she was randomly talking to someone beside her, the pretty eyes of this lady in color clothes repeatedly swept towards the stone stairs. The corner of his mouth contained a faint mockery. A moment later, he gently shook his head. It seemed like he was indeed overestimating that person. It was unexpected that/that he was unable to reach this Heaven Mountain Stage …
”Gong!”
The sound of a gong slowly sounded above the platform while a somewhat small figure, slowly walked out. His gaze swept over the place indifferently as he said in a somewhat weak voice, ” Time is up, let the attempt to break through the checkpoint begin .. ’
The colorful-clothed woman actually withdrew her gaze when she heard this person open her mouth. It seemed that person was only relying on a strong spirit as he expected. However, that advantage was truly absent in this Heaven Eye mountain range.
The sound of wind blowing appeared as everyone's gazes shifted. Immediately, two figures shot out from the stone stairs like two arrows. After that, they continued to land on the platform. Cold and bright laughter were randomly emitted.
” Sorry, I've been there a while. Hopefully, I didn't interrupt the passing checkpoint, did I? ’
The pretty eyes of the colourfully dressed woman solidified after hearing this laughter. He slowly turned his head and glanced at the smiling young face. A moment later, he could only coldly snort and turn his face away. If you find any errors (broken links, non-standard content, etc.), please let us know so that we can fix them as soon as possible.
