Chapter 327: The Youth from the Great Wilderness
Heaven-Shaker · 第327章 大荒走出的少年
The primeval forest was dense, sunlight unable to penetrate, everywhere gloomy and thick with a stench of blood that made one's hair stand on end. There were also beast roars as dull as thunder, terrifying the woodland.
"Roar..." From a pitch-black cave came a thunderous roar that made the cave tremble violently, sending rocks tumbling down, the echo resounding endlessly, nearly splitting several ancient trees nearby.
"Buzz..." Suddenly, as the terrifying roar faded, the void in front of the cave twisted sharply, rippling with dreadful energy fluctuations. A spatial passage slowly appeared in the void.
Roar! A massive beast burst out of the cave, its body reeking of blood, accompanied by a shriek in the void. A surge of monstrous ferocity erupted as it struck heavily toward the portal.
Bang! Suddenly, from the newly opened portal emerged a crystal-clear large bone, stained with blood, exuding a brutal aura. It struck the beast in one blow.
"Crack..." The sound of bones shattering exploded, accompanied by a gush of blood. The colossal creature that had charged forward was smashed into pulp by the large bone.
Four figures appeared in this realm. Yang Tian licked his dry lips and looked at the mangled beast on the ground, clicking his tongue in amazement. Both of the other two had terrifying physiques, their strength astonishing, no weaker than his own body.
The fat man grinned, using the bloodstained large bone to poke through the beast's flesh, then extracted a few drops of essence blood from its forehead bone and collected them into a jar.
Seeing this, Yang Tian and Yang Ba exchanged glances, a trace of shock in their eyes. The technique was extremely熟练, identical to the methods Yang Tian had encountered when venturing into the primeval forest.
"Could the formation in the valley have been set up by them?" Yang Tian rubbed his nose, his surprised eyes scanning the two of them as he muttered to himself.
"This treasure is not bad!" At that moment, Xiao Ji and the other's gaze fell on the Great Void Token in Yang Ba's hand. They blinked their bright, large eyes and couldn't help saying. It was a spatial treasure, extremely rare.
Just then, Yang Xiao's voice slowly rang out: "Ask them if they came from the Great Wilderness."
However, before Yang Tian could speak, the fat man started shouting first: "Brother, do you know how to get back? We've been stuck in this damn place for months, nearly chased to death by those three humanoid beasts."
"Uh..." Hearing this, Yang Tian scratched his head, his eyes flickering for a moment, then he smiled slightly: "I don't know the way to the Great Wilderness either. By the way, how did you get out?"
"Alas, don't even mention it." The fat man sighed, looking as if he wanted to beat his chest and stamp his feet. He threw the bloodstained large bone to the ground, and with a boom, it smashed a pit into the earth, showing its astonishing weight.
"Back when we two brothers went out for training, we ran into a spatial storm. Somehow we ended up in this damn place. Just when we made a small fortune, we got chased. What bad luck!"
Xiao Ji also nodded. He said with some confusion: "The energy of heaven and earth here is really weak, and the cultivation techniques of those humanoid creatures are a bit strange. But their physical bodies are just too weak."
"If those three old bastards didn't use the mysterious energy inside them, I could slap them to death with one hand!" Xiao Ji gritted his crystal-clear little canine teeth, speaking viciously. They had never been so humiliated.
Inside the Ancestral Dragon Ring, Yang Xiao's expression changed. He had been to the Great Wilderness, but the people inside couldn't get out. Had something gone wrong?
Both of them were very angry and wanted to go back and bring reinforcements to capture the three humanoid creatures for research.
The three of them chattered on, the fat man's spittle flying everywhere as he occasionally scratched his nest-like hair.
Yang Ba was completely confused, unable to understand what they were saying, though they often mentioned the same two syllables. These two people had mysterious origins and were extraordinary.
After a while, Xiao Ji and the other were dumbfounded. This was a cultivation realm, one that had evolved from the ancient times to the present. The energy of heaven and earth had once undergone drastic changes, leading to a scarcity of cultivation resources here.
"No wonder the energy inside those three old guys was so strange. They had abandoned physical cultivation and turned to other methods." Xiao Ji widened his bright eyes. What Yang Tian had told them was a huge shock.
"So this is the outside of the Great Wilderness. I once heard the clan elders say that every thousand years or so, someone enters the Great Wilderness." The fat man muttered, only half-understanding.
"I reckon the energy here is too weak for heavenly materials and earthly treasures to grow, which is why they gave up on the physical body." Xiao Ji waved his fist and said firmly. These were two similar energies, but they had chosen different paths.
"Indeed, people with formidable physical bodies often have long lifespans." Yang Tian nodded upon hearing this. The two energies were originally of the same source, but they had chosen different paths.
"Ask them if they know about the Yang Clan War Tribe." At this moment, Yang Xiao suddenly spoke, his voice trembling slightly.
"Yang Clan..." Yang Tian was startled. He secretly guessed, could the Yang family have been passed down from ancient times?
"Are there still people from the Yang Clan in the Great Wilderness now?" Yang Tian took a deep breath, looked at the two, and asked.
"Yang Clan War Tribe?" The fat man stood up, scratched his messy hair, rolled his eyes for a moment, and said in surprise: "Sounds a bit familiar... War Tribe..."
The two thought for a while but only said it sounded vaguely familiar; they didn't really know. Yang Xiao's heart instantly sank to the bottom, his face dark and terrifying. Not only had the Central Region Yang Clan emerged, but even the fearsome Yang Clan War Tribe had encountered trouble.
"What exactly happened!" Yang Xiao gritted his teeth. He had once been to the Yang Clan War Tribe, a force that suppressed an entire domain, extremely powerful—not something that could be destroyed easily.
Sensing Yang Xiao's change, Yang Tian fell silent. Although he didn't know much about the ancestor's affairs, if no one had heard of a major clan, something significant must have happened.
"Yang Tian, is the Yang Clan War Tribe your family?" Xiao Ji asked then, somewhat embarrassed: "It's normal that we haven't heard of it. I could walk the Great Wilderness my whole life and never finish it, let alone countless domains."
Hearing this, Yang Tian felt a bit better. Just as he was pondering, Yang Ba suddenly exclaimed: "Those three old bastards are chasing us! How did they find this place?"
"What?!" Yang Tian exclaimed, turning to look into the distance. He sensed three surges of immense energy rushing toward them.
"Let's go!" Yang Ba activated the Great Void Token, constructing a spatial passage. The four of them plunged into it again.
"Yang Tian, I will surely kill you!" Li Cheng was going mad. That Great Void Token was too terrifying; it could construct a space in a short time—a life-saving treasure.
Looking at the empty scene, the three old monsters were nearly frantic. They couldn't understand how they had been discovered so quickly. Little did they know that the four of them all had exceptionally powerful soul bodies.
"Keep chasing! Let's see how long they can hold out!" Li Cheng gritted his teeth. He intended to wear down Yang Tian and his group; not killing them would not ease the hatred in his heart.
In a certain void, Yang Tian and the others emerged. Their eyes swept over Xiao Ji and the other. If nothing was wrong, the two of them should have been marked with tracking techniques.
